Chapter 6: who is he, really?

Aria’s pov

He was saying but stopped himself, it was as if he was trying to hide something new.

I didn’t even move closer. My eyes stayed cold, watching him with suspicion. Can someone please tell this lying bastard to just shut up!

The herbalist pulled a paste from one of her jars and began packing it into the wound. Darren’s screams shook the walls. He thrashed, nearly knocking over one of the assistants until Eros growled low, making the whole room go still.

“Stay still,” Eros ordered. His tone left no room for argument. “They are trying to help you, can you stop acting weirdly?”

And Darren stayed still. Trembling, crying, but still.

Just then, the doors burst open with a loud crash and someone walked in.

“Elara?” I whispered.

She rushed in, skirts flying, tears streaking down her cheeks.

“Darren!” she cried, stumbling to his side like her whole world was breaking apart. She grabbed his hand, clutching it to her chest as if she had every right t

  • Reborn for the Lycan king    The evil lady in red

    Aria’s POV The hall blazed with color, it was nothing like I had ever seen. Streamers and flowers draped the beams, candles already lit though it was still morning, their glow catching on garlands of fresh blooms. Wolves, children, elders... my pack stood gathered, clapping and whistling as I stepped inside, frozen at the threshold.For a second, I couldn’t breathe.Then I remembered what this was for, my coronation. This was for me. This was for their Luna.Warmth bloomed in my chest, softening the storm that had been brewing inside me since last night. Smiling faces surrounded me, and their love was like a tide, pulling me forward into the heart of the hall.And then my maid Lila was there, my shadow since childhood. She threw her arms around me, her voice shaking with tears.“You don’t know how long I’ve waited to see this day, my lady,” she whispered fiercely. “You’ve shown us how selfless a true leader should be and tonight, finally, they’ll all see who you are. Who you’ve alwa

  • Reborn for the Lycan king    Nowhere to be found

    Aria’s POV And for the first time that night, I smiled.The shift in Darren was instant, the fury in his eyes dulled, the desperation tucked behind a brittle mask. He straightened, dragging his hand through his hair as if he hadn’t just cornered me in the dark.“King Eros,” he said lightly, his voice thin with false calm. “We were only talking.”Eros’s eyes flicked to me, his brow arched, asking silently if I was alright. I gave the smallest nod, though my hands still trembled at my sides. He didn’t ask me anything, not yet but the muscle in his jaw twitched once, hard.“Talking,” Eros repeated, his tone low, smooth, threaded with warning. He stepped forward, closing the space between us until Darren shifted back a fraction, his hands trembling slightly at his sides. “Next time, Darren, make sure it looks like talking because from here, it looked like you were cornering her.”Heat flared in Darren’s face, but he laughed, sharp and too loud. “Cornering her? Don’t be ridiculous. Ar

  • Reborn for the Lycan king    The might king Eros!

    Aria’s POV The dining hall emptied slowly, laughter and clinking goblets trailing off into the corridors as everyone dispersed. Father left with Derek’s help, Daniella flitting at his side, fussing as though her hands alone could keep him upright. Elara lingered long enough to kiss my cheek, whispering something syrupy about “resting for the big day,” before she slipped away.I stayed behind a little longer, pretending to adjust the knife and fork on my plate. But really, I just needed a moment. My chest was tight, my thoughts still circling the same storm: Daniella’s cloak, Elara’s eyes, Darren’s clenched jaw, the man in our cell.When I finally stepped into the hallway, the light was dimmer, torches flickering against stone walls. My footsteps echoed.“Aria.”The voice was low, and I froze.Turning to see Darren, “I want to have a word with you.”He emerged from the shadowed archway, wine stains still dark on his sleeve. His face was set in something caught between a smile and a gr

  • Reborn for the Lycan king    The big announcement!

    Aria’s POV “It gladdens my heart,” my father said slowly, carefully, as though choosing each word with care, “to hear such laughter at my table again. I have waited too long for it.” His eyes found mine, softening. “And I have waited too long to see my daughter smile. All those while I was sick, I couldn’t help but think of how sad she must have been.” Heat swelled in my chest, and I lowered my gaze, hiding the tears in my eyes.Then he set down his goblet with surprising steadiness. “Tomorrow night,” he said, his voice carrying with newfound strength, “under the blood moon, I will crown you Luna.”The words rang like a bell across the table.Darren froze, his goblet slipping slightly in his grip. His eyes flashed, wide and hungry, before he caught himself, painting on a strained smile.Elara’s lashes lowered, and though her lips curved politely, I caught the flicker of unease in her gaze.Daniella gasped and clapped her hands, her delight unrestrained. “At last! Aria, you’ll be m

  • Reborn for the Lycan king    He have something to say

    Aria’s POV I blinked, my fork hovering halfway to my lips. “A surprise?”Before I could press, the doors at the far end opened, and the sound of heels clicked against the stone. Every head turned as Daniella walked in.His twin sister.She moved with her usual elegance, her dark braid trailing over one shoulder, and she wore a gown in the exact shade of fabric of that woman I had seen in the courtyard before she disappeared. My chest tightened, the image searing into my mind.“You’re here,” I whispered before I could stop myself. “When did you arrive?”She smiled faintly, her voice soft but sure as she stepped forward. “Earlier today. I thought it would be nice to surprise you all at dinner.”She came back earlier today? My heart lurched. That meant she was here as at the time I saw that figure. Could it have been her?But why would Daniella be sneaking around instead of coming to me directly? She’d never given me reason to doubt her before in the past, but my thoughts tangled i

  • Reborn for the Lycan king    I have a surprise for you!

    Aria’s POV What if she had told Darren to get me those flowers and hid behind to see how I’ll react to it?The walk back to the Pack House felt heavier than the ground beneath my feet. Eros’s arm was still around me, steady, protective, as though he didn’t trust me not to stumble again. Elara walked a step behind us, silent except for the soft rustle of her dress against the wind. Her presence pressed against my back like a blade at my spine. Every few steps, I glanced subtly over my shoulder looking at her. She smiled whenever our eyes met, all sweet and harmless, but I didn’t miss the way her gaze lingered on Eros’s hand at my waist.By the time we reached the grand doors of the Pack House, my nerves felt like live wires. I stopped short, forcing both of them to pause with me.Elara’s explanation still rang in my ears light, airy, like it should have put me at ease. But it didn’t. I turned fully toward her, Eros’s hand falling reluctantly from my waist. “Elara,” I said, keeping
