Aria’s POV

The sun rose slowly over the horizon, golden and soft, as if the land itself understood the weight of this day.

I stood at the center of the sacred clearing behind the packhouse, the ground beneath me soaked in ancient magic. The earth hummed. The trees stood silent. The wind held its breath.

Today, I would become Alpha.

Not by birthright alone. Not by blood. But by choice. By fire. By sacrifice.

Beside me, Kael stood tall and quiet. His eyes held no doubt, only strength. His presence was my anchor. I had thought I was alone for so long, claimed by my stepfather, unwanted, but this place, this pack, and this man beside me had changed everything.

I looked up at the stone altar, where the elders stood waiting with robes of silver and white. Their faces were calm but watchful. They had seen many alphas rise, many fall. But today, I was not just a symbol of lineage. I was a symbol of survival. My heart raised, not because of fear, but because of what is coming, the responsibil

    Kael’s POV“Gracie and her family?!” My mouth hung open as I saw the soldiers bringing them into the main chamber.I blinked, unable to believe what I was seeing. Gracie… bruised and pale, her arm around her mother, who was limping. Tavin, still clutching a dagger in one hand, looked like he hadn’t slept in days. And then, the baby. Swaddled in a worn blanket, safe in Tavin’s arms.Aria rushed forward before I could stop her. Her eyes, wild, watery, desperate, locked on the tiny bundle.“My baby…” she whispered.“Aria, wait….” I stepped forward, reaching for her arm, but she was already in front of them.Gracie staggered, lifting her head weakly. “No, don’t take him…” she rasped.Tavin immediately stepped in front of them protectively. “Stay back.”Aria didn’t listen. Her hand trembled as she reached for the baby. The baby let out a small whimper, the sound piercing the silence like a knife through my heart.Aria sobbed. “He’s mine, Kael, look at him, look…”“No,” I said firmly, grabb

    Alpha Lucien’s POV“You have to get them,” I commanded through clenched teeth, my voice hoarse but sharp.Pain throbbed through my ribs, the wound from the wolfsbane blade festering beneath layers of gauze. It had slowed my healing. I hated that weakness more than death itself. My pride, my strength, everything that made me Alpha, was being tested. But I didn’t care. Not now.“I must collect that baby,” I growled. “And kill the remaining stains of Beta Alvarick’s bloodline. Gracie. Her mother. Tavin. All of them must die.”Varo, my most loyal soldier, stood before me in silence, his hands behind his back. His face was unreadable, but I could smell the hesitation on him. He knew I was in no condition to lead the charge myself, and yet he didn’t dare suggest otherwise.“Are the hunters in position?” I asked.“Yes, Alpha. We’ve disguised our enforcers as rogue trackers. They intercepted the fugitives in the southern pine forest, just as you predicted. The family is in custody.”“Good.” I

    Aria’s POV“An offer?” I repeated, my eyes twitching. I sat straighter on my chair, trying to keep my voice steady, though something in my chest began to twist.“Yes,” Keiran said, standing tall and unbothered, like he was the one in control. His eyes flicked toward Kael for a moment. “One that would bring stability… and avoid unnecessary bloodshed.”Kael’s jaw tightened beside me, but he didn’t speak yet.“Go on,” I said, folding my arms across my chest.Keiran clasped his hands behind his back, stepping forward like he was giving a speech. “We all know what this pack has become. Powerful. Unified. And feared.”He looked at me then, his tone still respectful, but his words turned sharp.“But power is fragile when it’s divided. There are murmurs, quiet ones for now, among the outer circles of your reign. Some believe too many decisions fall into the hands of outsiders.”My brows furrowed. “Outsiders?”Kael’s voice was a low growl. “Say it clearly, Keiran . You’re referring to me.”Kei

    Gracie’s POV“Mama, where are we going?” I asked, breathing heavily. My legs ached, and my body still hadn’t fully recovered from the last attack, but I pushed forward. Tavin carried my pup, bundled tightly in a faded wool blanket. His arms were trembling from fatigue, but his grip on the baby never faltered.We were all walking side by side, the forest around us thick and shadowed, the sun dipping behind the trees.It was at that moment I truly understood the essence of family.Not the kind that only stands by you in victory or smiles for the crowd, but the kind that bleeds with you, hides with you, and risks their life just to keep you breathing.My father might have died, but his presence was still here, in the way we moved as one. In the way Tavin looked over his shoulder every ten seconds. In the way Mama clutched her shawl like it was a shield against the world.“We’re going to my mother’s pack,” my mother said, her voice distant, her eyes scanning the winding path ahead.She so

    Kael’s POV“All hail the Alpha and Second in Command of our pack,” one of the elders said as he entered the council chamber, bowing low in respect.Aria stood beside me, chin lifted, eyes sharp as ever. She had grown into her role, more than I ever imagined. The throne we stood before wasn’t just a seat of power. It was a symbol. And though we had earned it with blood and sacrifice, holding it came with a weight that grew heavier every day.Especially today.We both nodded to the elder, acknowledging the traditional greeting, though my mind was elsewhere. Aria and I had just returned from another round of training with our warriors, preparing them for whatever storm might come next.But this meeting… this was a different kind of storm.“I trust you know why we summoned you,” Elder Zakiya said, stepping forward with her gnarled staff in hand.She was one of the oldest council members, her back bent but her presence commanding. Her voice still held the strength of generations. She had b

    Alpha Lucien’s POVI lunged at the rogue in front of me, claws extended, eyes fixed on one target, Tavin. He was making a run for it. And in his arms, he carried my pup.My wolf doesn’t joke when it comes to killing. Especially not when someone tries to steal what’s mine.I ripped through the rogue’s throat in seconds, hot blood spraying across my chest as the body collapsed beneath my feet. But another took its place immediately, snapping at my heels, foam dripping from its jaws.Chaos had broken loose.Smoke drifted from the corners of the sacrificial temple, the altar in shambles. Warriors clashed with rogues, bodies littered the stone ground. But all I could see was him, Tavin pushing through the fight, shielding the child in his arms like it belonged to him.It didn’t.That baby was of my blood. My heir. My power. And they were trying to take him away.I roared, shifting fully mid-air, my wolf’s muscles stretching under silver fur. I barreled through another attacker, slamming hi
