ARIA'S POV

The walk back to the packhouse was heavy. I couldn't just get my mind off what just happened.

The hair behind my neck was still up, I couldn't help but feel danger was close by.

Elijah kept a steady pace beside me, but his silence made the air thicker, heavier. He hadn’t said much since the fight.

I wasn’t ready to hear whatever dark thoughts he had swirling in his head about what was coming.

But my thoughts were just as tangled.

The fight. The attack. The message. They weren’t just random, meaningless acts of violence. They were calculated—designed to get our attention, to prove a point. And Victor… Julian… they were only just beginning.

I rubbed my still-aching shoulder. It hurt. The burn of the bite was still fresh, but it was nothing compared to what was waiting for us. That feeling, that dread, settled deep in my gut.

By the time we reached the packhouse, I was almost certain Luca would already know what had happened. If he didn’t, I’d make sure he did.

    Julian’s POVI didn’t knock. I never did. The throne room doors slammed open so hard the guards flinched. Victor looked up lazily from where he sat—draped over his cursed black stone throne like the world owed him a nap.“You sent them after Aria and Elijah?” I barked, voice echoing off the high vaulted ceilings.Victor barely moved. “I did.”“You fool,” I snarled, stalking across the floor. “That wasn’t the deal. You were supposed to give me time, not light the damn match under them.”He waved a hand, dismissive. “A message had to be sent. They needed to feel pressure—get pulled thin. That’s what distractions are for.”“You pulled the wrong string,” I growled. “Now they’re regrouping faster. Elijah’s alive, Aria’s rattled—but not broken. Luca’s more focused than ever.”Victor straightened slowly, eyes narrowing. “You forget who you’re speaking to, Julian.”I ignored the warning and kept going. “You’re burning the house down before we’ve even stepped through the front door. I need to

    Luca’s POVThe throne room was colder than usual. Maybe it was just my mood. I sat hunched on the edge of the throne, hands laced, jaw clenched, eyes burning into the marbled floor. Elijah stood by the far window, arms folded, eyes scanning the trees beyond the walls as if danger still lingered out there. Maybe it did.“No new attacks?” I asked, my voice cutting through the thick silence.Elijah shook his head. “None. Not a damn thing since the last wave.” He turned to face me, his expression unreadable. “It’s too quiet. Like they’re waiting.”I nodded once, slowly. “They’ll try again. That last hit wasn’t a warning, it was a test. They wanted to see how close they could get without getting their heads ripped off.”Elijah walked closer, his boots thudding against the stone. “And they got close, Luca. Too close.”I looked up at him, at the slight bruising still faint on his temple. His shoulders were stiff—tension coiled under every breath he took. “How’re you holding up?” I asked, sof

    Aria’s POVThe cold wind of the night blew at me as I leaned against the railing of the balcony. The night had fallen on the pack, as the moon hung low in the sky. I hadn’t moved for a while. I couldn't, really. My arms were crossed tight over my chest, but it did nothing, just help me warm myself.Everything felt… wrong. I didn't know why, but for some reason I was at an unease. Then, I heard a knock echoed behind me. Soft, but firm.I didn't turn.The door creaked open anyway. I didn’t need to see who it was.Luca.His footsteps were soft and quiet. He walked up behind me, but he didn’t say anything at first.He just… stood there. Maybe he was watching me. I kept staring out at the trees, letting the silence between us stretch. “You seem to enjoy the moon,” he said his tone soft.“... Yeah, I do,” I muttered, my voice low. He exhaled slowly, stepping beside me. “I heard what happened at the council,” I said before he could speak. My voice was flat, distant. “They blamed me

    Luca's POVThe wind bit hard this morning. I was already in the fields no time to spare Elijah stood across from me, arms folded, eyes narrowed.We both knew why we were here.This wasn’t about staying in shape for the fight. About a fight that wasn’t supposed to happen at all. Julian's claim to the throne was long gone. “Again,” Elijah barked, voice cutting through the silence.I dropped into a low stance and lunged. He met me with force, forearm to mine, the impact crackling through my bones. We circled, moved in sync, traded blows like the old days.“Faster,” he snapped, catching my wrist mid-swing and twisting. I jerked back, rolled, sprang to my feet. “He may know your rhythm try to change it. Make him doubt the next move.”“I know how to fight,” I growled, launching a punch that Elijah barely ducked.“You know how to win when it’s clean.” He countered, sweeping my legs. I hit the dirt hard. “This isn’t clean, Luca. He’s coming to hurt you. Maybe worse.”I pushed off the grou

    The night had fallen over the city of Grand Midea. Dark clouds filled the skies and rain threatened to fall.“Ahh!!”I left out a frustrated groan as I continued to pace to the party in my high silhouettes. I could barely keep my balance, and I threatened to fall a couple of times already.“Are you okay?” that's when I realized I was walking next to Phoebe.My best friend since... forever actually. She walked elegantly taking massive strides with her heels as though she was born to wear them.Her wore a beautiful red dress that hugged her body exposing a little of her breasts.Her long blonde hair moving with the wind.Phoebe was a party person.She could literally mingle with anyone she wishes.She was confident and had a charm no guy could resist.But for me the contrary was the case. I wasn't a party person, infact I hated them. I was rather much of an introvert, who really hated to mingle with others and was a bit shy.I prefer to spend most of my time researching on supernatural

    I walked back to meet Phoebe, but I still couldn't shake off the strange feeling of the man. One second he was there and the next he vanished“Phoebe,” I said, forcing a smile. “I think I’m just tired. I might head out soon.” “But... you just got here!” she protested, but I shook my head.“I know, but I'm not really feeling well.” I lied. I just didn't want to stay around, the only reason I even stayed this long was because of the stranger.“Okay, but can I atleast walk you halfway? It's very dangerous to walk alone by this time.” “I'll take a taxi. Text you later,” I said, already backing away.As I stepped outside into the cool night air, a little bit relief washed over me.But even as I walked away, I couldn’t shake the feeling of that piercing stare frpm earlier. But the mystery man was gone and that's all that matters.I waited for any car or taxi outside.But it was already late and there were no empty vehicles avaliable at that moment.My house was just about fifteen minutes aw

    My eyes fluttered open, my blurry vision gradually sharpening.I groaned over my head groggily until my sense started to come back.“Wait!!”My eyes snapped wide open. I looked over my body, I was in my pyjamas.A great relief washed over my body seeing I was surrounded by posters and pictures I hung on the wall of my room.But... what happened? My head ached so badly, I could only recall vague pictures from last night, everything else to me was like a blur.How did I even end up here?The door pushed open, the gentle creak disturbing the silence.The imposing figure of my mother stood in front of door, as she wore a gloomy face. “Aria! You're awake!” she yelled out, her tone laced with relief.“What have I told you about drinking too much Aria? You should know better.” I could only listen to Mom as she ranted.But what she was saying really didn't piece out.I barely drank a cup of beer, I was sure I wasn't drunk last night.“H-How did I. .. get home last night?” I asked my words stu

    Victor POVThe room was dark, dimly lit only by the flickering lights of two torches. I leaned back on the iron throne, boots heavy on the floor. It was a very successful mission, from the the way I see it. We tore through the village killing everyone in sight and I was sure that bastard Luca would have gotten my message. And today was the first step in my ultimate goal to get the white wolf, Aria by my side. And I would kill anybody who stands in my way. Just then I heard a knock.Sharp. Impatient."Enter," I said, voice low, cold.Julian stepped in like he owned the shadows, cloak dragging slightly as he moved toward me. He didn’t bow. He never did. That’s why I tolerated him. Because unlike the sniveling fools who kiss my boots, Julian at least knew how to speak in teeth and venom.“It wasn’t enough,” he said, without preamble.I stared at him, lips curling. “The screams carried far enough. The flames licked the sky.”He shook his head. “It was a ripple. Not a wave. Luca didn’

    Luca POVThe Moon was hanging low, the night had already fallen. I raised my hand up to signal the end of training for today. Aria’s breaths were heavy, her skin covered with sweat, and Elijah stood nearby with his arms crossed, nodding slightly in approval. She'd held her own today, better than ever. Controlled, precise. Her instincts were finally beginning to cut through the fog of hesitation. But there was still something buried in her, something pulling her back. I could see it in the way her eyes shifted, always scanning, always alert.“That's enough for today,” I said, stepping forward, my voice steady but not cold. “You did well.”She nodded, not quite meeting my eyes, and turned to walk back toward the house. I watched her go for a second too long, the curve of her shoulders telling me more than her words ever would. She was still carrying something. And whatever it was—it was starting to weigh her down.Elijah glanced at me. “You saw it too?”I nodded once. “Yeah.”“She’s

    Chapter 56Aria's POV My eyes fluttered open to bright morning light streaming through my curtains. My bones ached a little from yesterday's training, but also Julian’s threat still clawed at the back of my mind. But I can't focus on that.Today, I train.I rolled out of bed, my muscles stretching and tightening as I threw on simple clothes: black leggings, a grey tunic, boots I didn’t bother to lace too tightly. My fingers lingered briefly over the necklace Luca had returned to me weeks ago. I left it behind. I needed to be bare for this.The air outside was sharp with morning. I crossed the grounds briskly, eyes narrowing against the sun. My wolf was restless under my skin, pacing in circles, ears flicking forward with anticipation. Something about today felt different.And then I saw them.Luca and Elijah stood at the edge of the field. Luca, arms crossed, that dark stormy look painted on his face like war paint. Elijah had his usual calm smirk, but his hands were already flexi
