Ariana’s POV The air in the room became so heavy I could hardly breathe. When Ezekiel spoke those words, time seemed to stop. A challenge. He was challenging Zayn for the throne, for the pack, and for me. I knew the risk during the fight for an alpha title. It was a battle to the death. Zayn threw his head back and laughed. It was a cold, dark sound that made the hair on my arms stand up. "You?" Zayn sneered, stepping closer to Ezekiel until they were chest to chest. "You think you can take what is mine? You are nothing, Ezekiel. I let you live in my house. Gave you authority in the kingdom. I let you eat at my table. And this is how you pay me? By trying to steal my crown and my breeder?" "She is not a breeder!" Ezekiel roared. His voice was deeper than I had ever heard it. "She is a woman. She is the mother of my child, and I will not let you hurt them." I placed my trembling hands over my stomach. It was still flat, but knowing a life was growing there changed
Ariana's pov My heart was hammering against my ribs like a mouse trapped in a cage. No, no, no! This was the one nightmare I had played over and over in my head, but seeing it come to life was so much worse. I watched Zayn, my mate, as he marched toward Ezekiel. Every step he took made the floorboards groan. He wasn't just angry, he was growling, a deep, animalistic sound that vibrled in my own chest. I stood there, frozen. I felt so small and completely powerless. I knew a fight was coming, a bloody, terrible fight and there was nothing I could say to hold them back. I looked over at Asher. He was standing there with his arms crossed, a smug, nasty smile playing on his lips. I knew exactly what he had done. To save his own skin, he had blabbed everything to Zayn. It was a perfect plan for a snake like him. By telling the truth, he was getting rid of Ezekiel and me at the same time. He was killing two birds with one stone, and he looked proud of himself
Zayn's pov The mate bond is a strange thing. It wasn't just a feeling, it felt like a physical tether. Back in the main hall, while I was trying to play the part of a polite guest, that tether snapped tight. A sharp spark of alarm shot through my chest. I knew immediately that something was wrong. Ariana was in danger. I caught Ezekiel’s eye, he could tell I felt something was wrong. We didn’t need words knowing If we both vanished, the Witches guarding the place would know we were up to something. I gave him a small nod, telling him to stay and keep up appearances. I turned and moved through the shadows of the castle, my heart hammering against my ribs as I rushed and followed Ariana's scent. When I reached Ariana’s room, the air felt thick and greasy with magic. I kicked the door open, my claws already sliding out. The room was a mess. Bella, the dark witch, was sprawled on the cold stone floor, buried and unconscious. But my eyes went straight to the bed. Ashe
"Good, very good It is done. It seems like we finally have a deal," he said, his voice smooth and cold. A dark, twisted smile spread across his face as he began to walk slowly toward me. Each step he took made my heart beat faster against my ribs. I wanted to open my mouth and scream. I wanted to call out for the guards, for Zayn, or for anyone who could hear me. But as I tried to draw breath, I felt a strange, heavy thickness in the air. It was a magical barrier. He had sealed the room tight. No sound could get out, and no one could get in. I was trapped. Panic started to rise in my chest, but I forced myself to stay still. I had to think of a plan, and I had to do it right now. I wasn't just fighting for myself anymore, I was fighting for the tiny life growing inside me. My baby was in grave danger, and I was the only one left to protect it as Bella was now unconscious on the floor. He stopped right in front of me, so close that I could feel the heat coming of
Asher didn't flinch. He didn't even look toward the door. He slowly stood up, ignoring the glass shard still buried in his thigh. He pulled it out with a wet schlick sound and let it drop to the stone floor. "Bella," Asher said, his voice smooth and terrifyingly calm. "I was wondering when the little dark filthy witch stray would show up to defend her mistress." "I am no one's stray," Bella hissed. She thrust her hands forward, and a blast of jagged, crimson magical energy roared toward Asher. It was enough power to level a small house, a concentrated beam of dark witch fire meant to incinerate anything it touched. But Asher didn't even raise his hands. With a movement so fluid it looked like water, he stepped an inch to the left. The red blast whistled past his ear, missing him by a hair's breadth and vaporizing my dresser into fine gray ash. The heat singed my cheeks, but Asher didn't sweat. "Too slow," Asher mocked. Bella screamed in frustration, her hands m
Ariana's pov I took a slow, shaky step backward as the weight of his words hit me. Asher stood there, looking calm and powerful. He was clever, far too clever. He had managed to sneak into my private room without arousing suspicions. He didn’t alert Zayn, and he didn’t alert Ezekiel. He had used his magic to pretend he was Ezekiel, tricking me into a sense of safety just so he could force my deepest secrets out of me. The irony of the situation almost made me want to laugh, though the feeling was bitter. Even if he hadn't used these underhanded tricks, I was planning to tell him the truth anyway. I was desperate and I had been hoping that if I was honest, he might find it in his heart to protect me. We were family after all. I wasn't just thinking of myself anymore, I had a baby to think about. "You have no idea what I have been through," I said, my voice trembling. I tried my best to keep my anger under control. It wasn't easy, but I knew who I was dealing w
The metallic smell of blood wasn't just in the air anymore, it was coating my tongue, thick and cloying. I stood frozen, watching as the two powerful beasts ripped into each other's flesh. I couldn't look away from Zayn. He was a vision of pure destruction. He was truly befitting of his earned ni
The air in the dungeon turned to ice the moment those words my lips. My heart wasn’t just racing, it was hammering against my ribs like a trapped deer."Za-zayn..." I choked out.Before I could even blink, the world blurred. A cold, iron-like grip clamped around my throat, lifting me off my feet.

Ezekiel's pov I stood outside the heavy iron doors, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped animal. I knew, with every fiber of my being, that I shouldn't be here. This went against every code of honor I had ever lived by. I was a man of my word, a loyal member of the pack, and I cert
