Scent of Betrayal The dead Pack
Aria Everything was a lie? What does he mean by that? "W-what do you mean? A lie? Are you Lugh?" I ask rapidly, feeling my heart nearly beating out of my chest. Is this happening because I still didn't want to go with Lugh willingly despite his story? The rumble of his voice rattles my bones. "I am Lugh Darg, the Alpha of the dead pack. Only I exist in this realm," His voice drops till it's nearly a whisper carrying across my skin like a chilly embrace. "You can be here with me too, Aria dear. All you have to do is accept me." He croaks the end of the words out, like a fish trying to speak out of water. I press my hand against the wall of the vehicle behind me, wondering how I can escape someone like this. A part of me still thinks that maybe Lugh can help me. Maybe he's somewhere in here. "You naive fool." A torn laugh comes from him, and my eyes fly back to him. "What do you want from me?" I try to say firmer, but I'm still shaking with fear. This is more than

Riven It's been eight hours since I've seen the Alpha, and the link between us isn't telling me anything. Normally, it doesn't say much since the alpha is a really private person, and he likes to mask his scent well, but it hasn't been this dead before. No matter how much I reach out to him, I get nothing in return. These troubled thoughts have been plaguing my mind ever since he left without a word. At least if he'd told me where he was going, I wouldn't be so worried. A part of me thinks, maybe despite his words on the matter, he might have gone to search for the Luna. The Luna. Could I even call her that yet, considering she doesn't have the Alpha's mark on her. She's also an omega—not the strongest choice for Lunas. But now that I think about it, I've always heard that in the pack Shifters realm, they love to pick Omega's as Luna's. I'm not sure if this is because they want someone weaker than the Alpha for a Luna, or just the work of fate making Omega’s Alpha’s m

Riven The room is still as silent as a graveyard despite my question, and I begin to wonder if she's even heard me. “I asked you—” “Shut up, Riven.” She cuts me off with a stony glare that looks so vicious, I have to take an involuntary step back. It seems I have forgotten this woman is still the Luna of all the pack shifters. Long gone is the gangly wide eyed woman who smiled at everything I had said, and let her fingers brush mine. Every time I look at her, I feel even more foolish. To have been caught in the snare of somebody like her—a member of the pack shifters, and one ruthless enough to do anything to climb to the top. I've just been a stepping stone for her, but my heart isn't willing to accept that fact. That is why I still scramble for whatever affections she throws my way, like a pathetic dog. Heat prickles under my palms when I look into her eyes, but I don't say anything to her. With a pleased smile on her face, she turns away from me, as if satisfi

Kaidën I clench my fist and pin him with a hard look. "I don't have the time for this."Before he can blink, I pull out my sword again, already letting my shadows peek out until I can feel them on my fingertips. One wrong move and I'll let them suck the life out of him without losing sleep over it. After all, this man stands in the way of me and reaching my Aria—no, just Aria. I furrow my brow with a mix of annoyance and confusion. When did she become my Aria? Darien chuckles. "Unlike you, shadow King I know the full extents of my powers, do you really think you can win a fight against me?" I bristle at the meaning to his words. I've long stopped wondering how he knows what he knows. How he knows that I don't fully understand the extents of my shadows. It doesn't matter, because they've never failed me before. "Alright, if you still want to raise your sword against me, then be prepared to die, because those shadows of yours won't save you this time."The words roll out of his l

Riven"I—I think you should leave."The words don't even sound like mine as I say them, but the look on Piper's face shows that she's more taken aback by them than I am. Why do I care that she hates Aria? Maybe because she is our Luna and the one who will bring an end to our curse. Piper doesn't understand what it feels like to be a rogue—to be treated like a dirty criminal from the time you're born. Some of us never even got the chance to find a pack before we were declared unfit to be accepted into society. That's the kind of pain all rogues have to live with. That is why Akira gave her life to change that. The Alpha might believe I am waiting for a chance to pay the pack shifters back in their coin, but he's slightly off the mark. Once the goddesses' prophecy has been fulfilled, then we can finally find true happiness. The pack shifters won't be able to attack us anymore. "Riven?""Yes," I answer limply, unable to meet her eyes. I'm not the young beta she met the first tim

Aria The Alpha of the Dead Pack. A couple of seconds pass, or maybe minutes, or even hours, but I remain silent after his words. I try to remember what I know of the dead pack, but it's too little to mean anything to my situation right now. In fact, most of what I know of the dead pack are bedtime stories my grandmother told me and Piper. I never expected to meet someone from my fantasy story world, or worse, to meet the Alpha of their pack. Shaking my head, I try to breathe in slowly, trying not to pass out front of the numerous amount of things I'm feeling all at the same time. "Why did you buy me then? If you are dead, and you rule a dead kingdom, what use am I to you?" I recall grandmother's words—stories—of the dead pack, at least the ones that come to mind. A long time ago, before the rogues were called rogues, they were just classified as outlaws. The pack shifters' realm—according to grandmother, hasn't always been this civilized because, in her words, "it is
Last Updated : 2025-05-05Scent of Betrayal The Will To Live
Aria I clear my throat, and roam my gaze all over the man standing in front of me. Thankfully he is back to his normal form, which isn't a monstrous beast, although I have to wonder how much of that form is abnormal. If he is that Alpha—the same one that ruled a long time ago, and died before the war of the dead pack, then isn't his truest form that of a monster. But most importantly, what does he want with me? I'm not exactly a rogue, so taking out his anger on me would be useless. I try not to think about what it would mean if he plans to use me to attack Kaidën's people. As terrible as I feel about the injustice done to his wife, him and his people, I could never do something so treacherous to Kaidën. Kaidën isn't like all the other rogues he is talking about, and his story of misery has been so long ago, the rogues aren't the same anymore. Now it's even the pack shifters realm who dispose of people they dislike as rogues, and the goddesses' as usual have been helple

Kaidën "Then what do you request to lead me to the person I'm looking for?" I hate that I even have to ask this man for help, but he's more than proven that he knows things I don't—things I desperately need to know. He laughs, another airy sound that doesn't match the darkness lurking around him. I wonder again, what he might be. "Will you be able to give me what I want? Because where your mate is, she is in terrible danger, King of Shadows." A shallow breath leaves me. What does he mean by that? If Chloe isn't in that dungeon, then where is she? I grip my sword tighter. "Tell me where she is. I'll give you whatever you want." He pins me with a hard look. "You should not make promises you can't keep, Shadow King. What if what I want is a part of you?" I frown, a little confused. It takes me a while to realize what he means by a part of me. My gaze hardens on him, and he smiles wider. "I told you not to promise things you can't give. Tsk, if you need my help then th

Kaiden I eye him suspiciously, before easing my hold on his body and pulling the knife I stuck in him out. He winces again, and shoots me a violent look. "Did you have to do that, you bastard? I swear I'll kill you one day." I can't help but laugh at him, and I extend a hand his way, pulling him up and shoving back to the wall. "Must you be so rough? Tsk, all Alphas are the same. Big headed creatures with no control." I tilt my head, observing his tone oddly. He doesn't sound as annoyed as I would expect. In fact if I ignored the gnawing feeling in my stomach I'll notice that he sounds sort of... fond. "Why aren't you upset about that?" I point at the wound in his hand—more like jarring hole in the center of his palm. He flashes me a warm smile. "Oh, this?" He hold his bleeding hands up, still staring at it with a weird look. "It's nothing." Then in a blink of an eye, the wound closes, and all the blood dries up. My mouth falls open and I can barely hide the surpri
Scent of Betrayal The Last Words
Kaidën. "At the end of the day, did the omega really have a choice? Did you ask yourself why you practically forced her into your agreement?" He probes with a mocking look. I scowl at him, feeling oddly self conscious and irritated with myself. If what he says us true, then am I any better than the people who hurt Aria? The only difference is that I have guided mine under the term protection. My ears rattle, and I drop the sword to the floor. "That's a lie. I wanted to help her—even though she needed to help me first. It was a fair deal." It was. He laughs at me again, in that condescending way he seems to be doing. I suddenly have the urge to punch his face, and bash his nose in. "You don't know anything about what I've had to do." I advance towards him, crowding his space and expanding my alpha presence till it nearly consumes everything around me. He clears his throat and swats his hands in front of me, like he's swatting off a fly. "No need to consume me with y
Scent of Betrayal The Fair Deal
Kaiden Silence fills the air between us, before Darien starts laughing. A frown mars my face. What is so funny? But he doesn't seem to be able to read my thoughts, because he only continues laughing hard, clutching his sides like he's gasping for breath. "Are you really asking me that? Do you not know if the omega is your mate or not? Oh my goddesses!" I pull out my sword and point it at him. "If you have nothing of importance to tell me, then step aside. I need to find Aria." He stops laughing then, something like fire burning in his eyes, bright and hot. Any other person would probably shrink under the velocity his gaze, but I'm not just anyone. I stand my ground and glare right back at me, but just like I expect, he also doesn't flinch. He folds his hands over his chest, and gives me a look that isn't quite a smile, but isn't a frown either. "What do you want me to do? Let you step into the dungeon and attack all the people in there? Are they more important than
Scent of Betrayal Fools
Riven I stare at Piper with wide eyes and a slacked jaw. "What do you mean Akira took the Luna's wolf?" Piper shoots a glare that can grind a person to dust. "She's not your Luna. Stop calling that worthless omega a name she doesn't deserve!" Fury flies out of her at such a startling pace, that I flinch and pin her with a confused look. "I do not understand you, Piper Redding. You hate Akira, the witch who rendered you her services. You also despise the Alpha's mate even though it is much better she is with him." This cannot just be her vindictive and selfish nature. Something else must make her to wary of the Luna—even though I'm not sure wary is the word I should use for it. I take a cautious step closer to her, and ask curiously. "Do you know the Luna very well? Has she wronged you in any way? I'm sure if she has, the alpha would make her apologize." I'm not sure how true my words are, but it's difficult to imagine the sweet looking Luna Aria not apologizing to Pipe

Aria He laughs then, even as I continue to hit at him with everything I've got, growing weaker by the second. A vicious, harsh and wicked laugh is all I get in return, and I fist my hands, wishing I can inflict more pain in him. He grabs my wrist. "Did you not know, silly girl? The goddesses know everything. They see all our thoughts and decisions before we even make them." I glare at him, but I'm not sure what the glare looks like with all the tears streaming down my face. Maybe everything would have been better if my grandmother hadn't died for me. If she had instead let me die. Didn't u bring this on yourself? Am I not the one who trusted a traitor? Why did she have to die? I break down to my knees, feeling too weak to continue hitting him, and letting my legs finally give up on me. "Don't be distraught because you hear the truth you've always known. Have I not told you, how vicious those goddesses are?" He says with pride. I shake my head, wishing he would stop
Scent of Betrayal The Painful Memory
Aria As expected, Lugh lounges at me, transforming into that beast again and wrapping sharp claws around my neck. The claw burn, and I feel like my skin is being flayed off my chest. A torn and broken cry bursts out of me, and my vision swirls. I'm going to die. I can see it. I can feel it. I can almost taste it, too. The taste of death at the top of my tongue. Lugh finally pushes me back, and I fall to the floor in a heap, still able to feel the searing pain in my neck. I coughed out retched breaths. "Why are you doing this to me?" I scream. All of this is so unfair! Why does he get to take out all his hatred on me when I haven't done anything wrong? The people who wronged him are nowhere near me, but he's chosen to put me through hell. "How dare you ask why you deserve all these? Do you really not understand you foolish child?" I coil away from him, pressing my back against the wall of the vehicle, and flinching when a part of it touches the burnt parts of my ne
Scent of Betrayal The Stories
Aria Lugh looms over me, his larger than possible framing blocking me from seeing anything else behind me. My stomach drops, but I put on a brave front. "Let me go." He takes another impossible step closer—impossible because he's mere inches from me now. His sharp straight nose grazing my jaw. I shudder with the contact and step backwards. "I'm never going to accept to spend the rest of my life in the land of the dead. I understand what happened to you is monstrous, and I truly sympathize with your story, but I have my life to live." A puzzled look lines his face, and I take it as an urge to continue. "I don't want to act like I don't feel sorry for what's happened to you." I breath in harshly, suddenly feeling immensely overwhelmed. "Your mate—what those monsters did—it's unforgivable. But I'm still a person too. Just like you, my life is being wrecked by wicked hands." He shoots a glare at me. "You know nothing of pain girl." He spits out with bitter venom. I straigh
Scent of Betrayal The Evil Witch
Riven Maybe I shouldn't have said it. I half expect her to be surprised, maybe a little angry that Kaidën found his mate, even though he used to be sweet on her. The vindictive woman really thinks Kaidën should remain alone even if she's moved on to her new mate. If a bond can develop between Piper and the pack shifters realm king, then why is she so surprised that Kaidën also has a mate? Piper turns slit like eyes to me. "Tell me you're lying." My brows furrow. Her rage is nearly palpable in the air, and I can almost taste it myself. It could tightly around the room, like a poison that will infect anyone who gets too close to it. "Why do you want it to be a lie? Did you also like the Alpha?" It won't be impossible to believe, since the Alpha was very sweet on her in the past. That was one of the reasons I never wanted to be attracted to her then. The Alpha seemed to have taken an interest to her. And the Alpha never took an interest to anyone—not even Eliana Gree
