LOGINTwo days afterThe throne room- hall of assembly was filled with all the elders whose whispers and murmurs circulated the entire hall.This was their first reasonable meeting and gathering since Aria was poisoned and thanks to her recovery, they were finally able to gather today— though not because if pack affairs.The grand door pushed open and just like their very last meeting, Aria and Cain walked in together— in their purple regalia embroidered with silver threads, taking one slow step at a time.The whispers stopped and all head went down as they walked towards the throne.Aria's butt length hair was let down, adorned with silver hair clips, pins and several other ornament. She used a deeper shade of rogue which gave her a dangerous look along side the blank expression she gave.Shortly after, they settled side by side on the throne, the door pushed open again and this time- Maida dressed in a plain white gown, face slightly paled and red in fury didn't or rather couldn't hide he
Maida paced around the dimly lit room, where only two candles were fixed to the walls and a burning torch crackled near the entrance. Their flickering flames danced across the stone walls, casting long shadows that stretched and twisted around the room.The warmth from the torch fought against the coldness, but it wasn't enough to make the place comfortable.Nothing could make this place comfortable.After several restless laps around the room, Maida let out a frustrated groan and dropped onto the small bed pushed against the wall. The mattress creaked beneath her weight. She dug her fingers into her hair and scratched her scalp vigorously, her face twisted with irritation."Why isn't Cain coming?" she muttered for what felt like the hundredth time. "I can't be locked up here forever.""You have been saying that for weeks now, but has it gotten you anywhere?" Elder Gavin said from the opposite cell, which was separated from hers by an iron gate."I want to get out of here. I can't sta
"Aria, stop. You just got better and so you should be resting and certainly not moving around." Cain tried to convince Aria for the hundredth time as he kept following her around the whole room while she tried to dress well.Immediately after they had broken the kiss and stared into each others eyes loving, with happiness, so much spark between them and a smile which Aria replaced moments later with a smirk before saying that she had to visit her favourite enemy, Cain had done nothing more than trying to stop her."Don't try to stop my babe. You know what going to make me feel so energetic and alive is the surprise look on her face when she sees me. Damn!!" she exclaimed facing him. "The thought is fueling me up.""You can always do that some other time— like tomorrow for instance." he suggested."No can't do. Tomorrow will be too late because she would have already heard the news that I'm healthy and alive. Moreover, I will love to see my brother." she mumbled, as she finished applyi
"Is this where the Moon Goddess resides?" Aria asked, looking around again. "It's heavenly, like I'm in an entirely new world. But why am I here?""Where is Cain? And Lynn? Mariella? Matthew and Xervin?" she asked."You are here because this is the only place that can save you from dying," the Moon Goddess responded."Dying?" Aria mumbled, then remembered that she had been poisoned and had fainted in Cain's hands after spitting out blood.She shook her head. "I can't die. No, I can't. I promised Cain I would never leave him."The Moon Goddess nodded. "You are chosen as a protector, so definitely, you can't die yet. Not without accomplishing your purpose, Aria." She smiled at her."I want to go back," Aria replied."You will," the Moon Goddess responded. Then, with a gentle wave of her hand, she displayed a vivid image of what was happening in the werewolf world.Aria stepped closer to the vision. "Cain," she mumbled, her heart breaking as she watched him sitting beside her unconscious
The soft rays of the afternoon sun slipped quietly through the curtains of Mariella's room.Mariella stirred weakly on the bed before slowly opening her eyes.For a moment, she looked confused, then she heard the soft clinking sound of plates beside the bed.Turning slightly, she saw Lynn placing down a tray carefully on the small table nearby."Lynn," Mariella called softly while sitting upright slowly.Lynn immediately turned and a small relieved smile appeared on her tired face."You are awake?" she muttered softly. "I made lunch, but before that take this tonic that Lady Mana brewed. She already said you will wake up around this time and it's true."Lynn handed her the tonic, which she gulped down at once. Then Lynn took the tray of food and placed it on her laps. "Here, eat." she muttered, handling her a silver spoon.Mariella stared at her for a while and that was when she noticed the dark eye bags beneath Lynn's eyes and how exhausted she looked."What happened?" Mariella asked
The atmosphere inside Cain's room remained heavy and suffocating.No one spoke.The only sound heard was the faint crackling from the fireplace and Lynn's occasional sniffles.Suddenly, the door pushed open.Beta Max walked in with an old maid beside him. Her head was lowered while guilt and fear were written all over her face.Beta Max cleared his throat lightly before speaking."Alpha Cain, there is something you should know."Everyone in the room turned towards him immediately, confused about what news he wanted to share at such a moment.Cain slowly lifted his head.His face was swollen and red from crying while his eyes looked painfully puffy.The same was with Kade— or rather, Matteo.Kael, who was beginning to recover as the pain in his chest slowly faded away, glanced briefly at Cain before shifting his gaze towards Beta Max.A slight twitch appeared in his eyes as he stared at Cain's miserable state.He had never seen Cain cry this much before.Not even when their parents die
The news spread faster than wildfire.By the time Aria stepped into the inner courtyard, she could feel it—the weight of dozens of gazes, some curious, some impressed, others sharp with expectation. Conversations dipped the moment she passed, only to resume in hushed tones behind her back."She acc
The fire crackled low, its weak glow barely pushing back the darkness of the abandoned clearing which was located outside the walls of New Moon pack.The scarred man sat with his back to a tree, arms folded, eyes closed, ears strained upward, ensuring that no sound went unnoticed by him.Footsteps
Kael walked through the path leading to the right wing, his steps slow, and calculated. Beta Thorne followed beside him, arms crossed, eyes scanning the open space ahead.They had just concluded their meeting and he was heading back to his wing to go about his Alpha duties.Then Thorne slowed. He g
Night swallowed the forest whole– cold and dark. Trees swaying their branches gently in the direction of the wind.There was no moon, no stars. Only darkness– thick and heavy which was illuminated by the flames of the fire touch which flickered slowly in Beta Thorne's hand.As they passed through t
