تسجيل الدخول"W...why?"I couldn't help but stutter as he brought the knife closer to me. The sharp blade glinted under the chandelier, its lethal edge obvious to the eye. I couldn't move my legs; they were rooted to the spot.I tried to maintain a stoic, straight face, but my body refused to cooperate. He brought the blade closer and closer until the cold, sharp edge rested directly against the pulsing vein of my neck.Lioran’s face remained entirely firm, devoid of any guilt or hesitation over what he was attempting to do. His cold indifference made me even more... should I say scared?No. I shouldn't be scared.I came here to become stronger, adopting this new identity and this dangerous disguise. A disguise that might very well end up landing me in much bigger trouble.Lioran traced the edge of the knife down my neckline, stopping just above my collarbone. His eyes darkened slightly as he inspected my every reaction. My heart wouldn't stop thumping against my ribs, but I kept my eyes locked on
Aria's POVI stood there watching them whisper to one another, which only made my heart beat faster. I had no idea what they were talking about, but the moment Austin—the personal trainer of the Veylar twins—looked at me, I realized I was the subject of their discussion.The look on Austin's face was something I couldn't quite decipher. It was a strange mix of keen confusion and amusement, coated with a drop of irritation.I grabbed the hem of my trousers, pinching my nails hard into the surface of my palm. I didn't even know why I was still standing there, or if I was still expecting something to happen.---As the days and weeks passed by, things didn't get any easier for me. More trouble and more problems kept finding their way into my path.A sharp knock sounded on my door just as I was getting dressed."Hey! Kid!"My heart skipped a beat. I quickly grabbed my chest strap and wrapped it meticulously to bind my breasts. "Who is it?" I called out, clearing my throat to lower my pitc
Lioran’s POVThe training yard smelled like dust, sweat, and tension—the usual mix that made people either stronger or dead inside. The afternoon sun hit the arena in broken streaks, sliding through the gaps in the worn wooden beams above.Rowan stood in the middle of it all, his stick pressed against Arian’s neck, a smirk twisting his face like he was already imagining blood.“Rowan.” Austin’s voice cut through the noise like a blade. He didn’t shout; he never needed to. When Austin spoke, people listened.Rowan’s grin faltered for half a heartbeat before he turned slightly, that same arrogance crawling back onto his face. “Just testing the new boy’s reflexes, Austin.”Austin crossed his arms. “You’re not here to test him. You’re here to train. Leave him and fight your brother.”The silence that followed was almost satisfying.Rowan threw Arian a last look — a threat coated in a lazy smirk. “Watch your back, pet.” Then he turned toward me, twirling his stick.I sighed quietly and rol
That word triggered something within me. I wasn’t sure how to express it, but it happened. The sound of that name bothers me; it has left its mark on me. On my 18th birthday, at my old pack, while most of my friends transformed under the blood moon. Lyra also changed, but she has always been the daughter of an omega. A maid who worked for my father.That's how our friendship began. Before the bond formed between Kael and me, I was bullied by the pack members, and in response, I made a dare.What was that dare all about?On my 18th birthday, I dared myself to find my wolf and my mate. I was really sure about it. On his 17th birthday, my brother had found his wolf, and I believed the same would happen for me. It felt like something that had been passed down through the generations in my family.But I was unique. My friends got me drunk the day before my birthday and made me promise that I would be their pet in the pack house.I went along with it, feeling a bit sorry for myself. I never
"What did you just say to me?" He came closer, his eyes shimmering, sending a thrill down my spine. What was I thinking? I should have just handed him the water and walked away. Was I really believing he was superior to his brother?No…"Say what you just said again, if you have the guts." His face darkened, and I couldn't tell if he was angry or if he was about to pounce on me. I find myself cursing inside, questioning why I keep making things harder for myself.He gripped my neck tightly, sending a jolt of pain through my entire body.I parted my lips just a bit, weighing whether it would be smart to say it again. This isn’t what I came for! I vowed to rise above the weight of others' expectations, yet here I am, feeling like I’ve let myself down once more. Seeing people rush past me.He gazed into my eyes, anticipation hanging in the air as he awaited my response. I let out a sigh. “You know, I was right—everyone thinks I’m into you. Now, my posters cover the wall, as if I were a n
Arian’s POVI felt my blood turn icy. I pulled my hat closer to my face. And then a group of girls walked in. Their eyes darted around the room, like a predator looking for prey. Eloise, their crew leader, stood in front; her eyes glowed gold before returning to normal."The new boy…" she mouthed, and the others giggled in anticipation. I felt my heart racing against my chest. Those crew members were sensitive, with a high ability to sense things. I quickly returned to the vending machine, inserted another coin, and a pack of chewing gum slid out."Hello everyone," said Eloise, standing on a table. Her voice was sharp and authoritative. She was one of the academy's strongest she-wolves, and from what I've heard, no other girls had been able to defeat her in training or combat. "Seeing that big poster on the wall, with the pathetic face of that new boy." She chuckled and looked at one of her crew members. "Please guys, I mean the guys. Can you stay behind or seek anyone you believe t
"Hand me your phone." The command was not loud, and he didn't need it to be. It carried a weight that tightened my chest as if invisible chains were coiled around me.I looked at him, my fingers tightening around the device in my pocket. "What… why?""Are you questioning me, Arian?" He raised a bro
The sound was small, like skin on skin and fingers closing. But the force behind it was undeniable, and Rowan froze.I blinked through the pain, and another figure stood there, silent and immovable. He was taller and colder. His shirt hung open, revealing tattoos on his chest; he had the unique typ
The night was still, and the forest loomed above us like a living creature, black and cold. Those piercing golden eyes were gone.My father's palm clutched mine tightly, pulling me through the shadows as the Silverfang pack's domain faded behind us.The moon above glinted silver, mocking me with it
Aria’s PovThe moon was silver and full that night, and my life was broken. Tonight was supposed to be the night I became Luna; my mate, Kael Draven, Alpha of the Silverfang Pack, was meant to brand me as his. Every girl dreams of this one moment. That one promise I had clung to for years as an ome
