Reborn: Aria's Revenge

Aria's POVThe moon hung full and bright above the sacred grounds of the Moonfall Pack, casting a silver glow across the gathering arena. Wolves from every corner of the territory stood shoulder to shoulder, dressed in fine garments that shimmered under torchlight. It was the night of the Mating Ball, the ceremony every wolf dreamed of from childhood. A night when the Moon Goddess revealed the deepest bonds of fate. A night when destinies shifted forever.I stood at the edge of the pack grounds, my heart steady, my eyes locked on the man who had been my everything. Alpha Kael. His forest green eyes had always been the place I ran to when the world crumbled. They were calm, steady, and strong, like a forest that never bent to the storms. For years, those eyes had been my home.But tonight, under the weight of the moonlight, I swore I saw something else within them, something shuttered and hidden.The breeze brushed against my skin, tugging my gown and tossing my hair back. It almost fe

The glass window of the car was cold against my temple as I leaned into it, my eyes swollen and burning from the endless tears I had shed. Outside, the world rolled by in a blur of trees and fading twilight, yet nothing reached me. My heart was too heavy, too wounded, to feel the beauty of the passing night.Everything I had known felt as if it had shattered in a single moment. My parents were gone, ripped from me in a rogue attack that still haunted my dreams. My sister, Elena, had taken Kael, the man I loved with every piece of my soul. And Kael himself had rejected me, severing the bond we were meant to share because the Moon Goddess had paired him with my sister. It was as though life had conspired to leave me hollow.My hands shook violently as I reached for the bottle of liquor resting on the seat beside me. I had taken it from the packhouse earlier, hoping it would numb me, hoping it would silence the agony clawing through my chest. I tilted it to my lips and drank greedily, th

The word reverberated inside me as my eyes widened in shock.Mate.Alpha Mich’s piercing gaze did not waver. His ocean blue eyes bored into mine, as if they were tearing through every layer of my soul. He took a slow step toward me, and another, until the space between us seemed to collapse beneath the weight of something unexplainable. The air crackled, charged with a magnetic pull I could not resist no matter how much I tried.And in that chilling moment, I realized the impossible.The ruthless, fearsome Alpha Mich… was my fated mate."So you’re the one," he said at last, his voice low, edged with disbelief. The words escaped his lips as though torn from somewhere deep inside him, as though he had been waiting for this moment but dreaded it all the same.He felt it too.I couldn’t speak. My lips parted, but no words came. I only stood there trembling, torn between fear and the bond pulling me toward him like a moth to fire. My heart hammered painfully in my chest. Sold to a fearsome

‎‎Alpha Kael's POV‎‎I sat on the wide cushion, trying to clear my mind, but peace seemed far from me. Elena, my mate, was seated close, her arm curled across my back as though she wanted to reassure me. Her fingers trailed down my chest, caressing gently.‎‎“Why are you so worried about your ex-mate just because she is dead?” she murmured, leaning closer until her lips brushed against my jaw. “Besides, you have me.”‎‎Her voice carried a sweetness meant to soothe, yet her words stirred something darker inside me. My jaw clenched, and I turned to give her a daring stare.‎‎“Why does your sister’s death seem to amuse you?” I asked bluntly.‎‎Her face instantly changed. The smirk disappeared, and sorrow replaced it. Her lashes trembled as unshed tears welled in her eyes. For a moment, her voice broke, thin and fragile.‎‎“Her death hurt me, Kael… but…” She paused, her words dissolving into quiet sobs.‎‎I sighed heavily, pity softening the edge of my anger. Her tears, real or no

Aria’s POV“You are awake.”The voice drifted from behind me, calm yet firm. I turned, and my eyes landed on her.Sierra-de-Luna.She stood tall, her figure graceful and commanding, her brown eyes gleaming like polished stones. Her hips swayed naturally with her steps, her curly hair tumbling down her shoulders, and her light complexion glowing in the soft light of the room. She was dressed in a loose white silk nightgown that whispered against the floor as she moved.I recognized her instantly. She was the Luna of the Moon Fang Pack, one of the strongest and most feared packs in the Northern Region. Whispers of her influence reached every corner of the werewolf world. But what startled me most was not her presence, it was the question burning inside me.What was I doing here? Why had I been brought to the pack house of the Moon Fang Pack?“Umm… yes, I am awake,” I replied hesitantly, my voice low as if I was unsure of how much I was allowed to speak.“You really look weak,” she said
