The first scream came from the west.

It ripped through the Citadel just before dawn, sharp and panicked, carried by a runner who collapsed at the gates with blood on his hands that wasn’t his own. His wolf barely held together long enough to deliver the message before shock stole his voice.

“They burned it,” he gasped. “They burned the whole settlement.”

Aria was already moving before the words fully landed.

The western outpost had been small. Civilian-heavy. A neutral haven for displaced wolve

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed by His Billionaire Brother   Chapter 150: The Memory That Shouldn’t Exist

    Silence has weight.Not the peaceful kind.The kind that presses against your ribs until breathing feels like a negotiation.That was the silence now.---No one moved.Not the wolves.Not the Hollowborn.Not even the wind dared to interrupt what had just been said.You died.He broke the world trying to bring you back.The words didn’t just echo.They rooted.Deep.Dangerous.---“Say something.”Aria didn’t realize she had spoken until the sound of her own voice reached her ears.It wasn’t steady.It wasn’t strong.It was… searching.Damien still hadn’t looked at her.His gaze was fixed somewhere beyond the man, beyond the battlefield, like he was trying to see something that wasn’t there.Or something that was.“I don’t remember that,” he said finally.His voice was low.Controlled.But it wasn’t denial.It was confusion.And that was worse.---The man chuckled softly.“Of course you don’t.”A slow step backward.“They made sure of that.”Liam’s voice cut in, sharp as steel.“Who?

    The heartbeat didn’t fade.It settled.Steady.Certain.Alive.And with every pulse, the world seemed to adjust around it, like reality itself was learning a new rhythm.---Aria stood at the center of it all, her breathing uneven but her gaze sharper than it had ever been.She wasn’t just holding power anymore.She was sharing space with it.And it was aware.---“They can feel it,” Liam said quietly, his eyes scanning the Hollowborn.Jay swallowed.“Yeah… I can feel it too, and I don’t like it.”The creatures weren’t advancing.They weren’t retreating.They were… waiting.Watching Aria like something sacred had just stepped into existence.Or something dangerous.Maybe both.---Damien didn’t care about any of that.His focus was locked entirely on Aria.“You’re still with me?” he asked, his voice lower now, steadier.She nodded faintly.“I am.”A pause.“But I’m not alone anymore.”His jaw tightened.“I know.”And for once—That didn’t sound like fear.---The man stepped forward a

    The light didn’t fade.It anchored.That was the first thing Aria understood as the pillar of gold carved through the sky like a second sun that refused to set.This wasn’t power escaping.It was power locking into place.And she was at the center of it.---Her breath came shallow.Her body trembled.But not from weakness.From scale.It felt like trying to hold an ocean inside a heartbeat.“Damien—”“I’m here.”His voice didn’t just reach her.It held her.Pulled her back from the edge of something vast and endless.Their hands tightened together.And the moment they did—The storm changed.The energy that had been surging wildly began to settle, weaving between them like threads finding their pattern.Balanced.Shared.Alive.Aria gasped softly.“It’s listening…”---Across the courtyard, the wolves had dropped to one knee.Not forced.Not commanded.Instinct.Pure and undeniable.Even Jay, who had never bowed to anything without a sarcastic comment ready, found himself frozen, eye

    Plans are strange creatures.Some are born from logic.Others from desperation.And then there are the dangerous ones… the kind that feel less like strategy and more like prophecy waiting to happen.Aria’s plan was the last kind.---“No.”Damien didn’t even hesitate this time.Not a second.Not a breath.The word came out sharp, final, like a door slammed shut before anyone could step through.Aria didn’t flinch.“I wasn’t asking.”That made it worse.Jay leaned back against the table, watching the tension coil between them like a storm about to split the sky open.“Oh, this is going to go well,” he muttered.Liam didn’t move.Didn’t blink.He was watching Aria.Not Damien.Because he already knew—This wasn’t something that could be stopped.Only redirected.---“You’re not walking into them again,” Damien said, his voice lower now but far more dangerous.“I’m not walking into them,” Aria replied calmly.“I’m pulling them out.”“Same difference.”“No,” she said, stepping closer.“It

    The forest didn’t feel the same on the way back.It wasn’t just quieter.It was watching.---No one spoke at first.Not Aria.Not Damien.Not even Jay, which in itself felt like a sign that something far heavier than battle still lingered between them.Liam carried the unconscious guard over his shoulder, moving steadily, but even he seemed more tense than before.Because now—They knew.This wasn’t just about Aria.It was about what she was connected to.And that changed everything.---By the time they reached the estate, the sun had already dipped low again, dragging shadows across the courtyard like stretched fingers.The wolves parted for them instantly.Respect.Concern.Fear.All tangled together.“Get him to the healers,” Damien ordered.Liam nodded once and disappeared inside without hesitation.Jay exhaled as he rolled his shoulders.“Well… that was a mess.”“That was a warning,” Damien corrected.Jay grimaced.“Yeah. That’s worse.”---Aria didn’t stop walking.Not toward

    “Aria—don’t.”Damien’s voice cracked through the clearing like a blade.Sharp. Urgent. Unyielding.But she was already moving.---The moment her foot crossed into the edge of the marked ground, the world shifted.Not visually.Not physically.But everything changed.The air thickened, pressing against her skin like invisible hands. The faint pull she had been feeling before snapped into something stronger, something deliberate.The circle recognized her.Aria inhaled slowly.Steady.Controlled.Behind her, Damien surged forward—but the Hollowborn closed ranks instantly, a wall of shifting darkness forcing him back.“MOVE!” he roared.Jay and Liam fought beside him, tearing through the creatures, but for every one that fell, another took its place.“They’re stalling us!” Jay shouted.“I KNOW!” Damien snapped.His eyes never left Aria.Never.---At the center of the clearing, the guard lifted his head weakly.His eyes found hers.Fear.Pain.But also… awareness.“They… used me…” he ra

    Morning arrived like a held breath.Aria barely slept.Every time she drifted off, her hand moved instinctively to her abdomen, as if checking that the warmth was still there. It was not dramatic. Not sharp. Just steady. Like an ember tucked beneath silk.Damien was already awake when she opened he

    The tremor did not stop.It faded from the chamber, subtle enough that no elder called it out, no guard reached for a weapon. But Aria felt it the way bones feel storms before clouds gather. Deep. Slow. Immense.The Council’s voices blurred into distant noise.Below.Something below had shifted.Da

    The breath from the fissure did not rush.It rolled.Slow. Damp. Thick with an age that had never seen sunlight.The courtyard stood suspended in a fragile stillness, every Alpha, every Elder, every envoy caught in that strange paralysis that comes when instinct screams run but pride insists stay.

    No one spoke for a long time.The Hollow loomed behind them like a thought no one wanted to finish. Even after stepping away from its edge, Arin could still feel it, not as a pull anymore, but as a presence. Like the way you feel someone staring at you in a crowded room, even when you can’t see the
