로그인Aria’s POVDamon was still inside my room when the argument continued.He hadn’t left since he came in, and I already knew he wasn’t going to back down easily. That was how he was when he believed he was right, and I wasn’t backing down either.This wasn’t about one moment anymore. It had been building for a while, and tonight just brought it out properly.Damon spoke first.“You left my room because of one argument.”I looked at him and answered immediately.“It’s not one argument. It’s the same thing repeating every time Lilith is involved.”His expression tightened slightly.“What exactly is repeating?” he asked.I exhaled slowly and continued.“You hear her first. You respond to her version before you even ask me what happened.”Damon frowned immediately.“That is not true.”I didn’t stop.“It is. Every time she speaks, you already react to her tone before you hear anything from me. You decide what I am thinking before I even open my mouth.”His voice dropped.“You are exaggeratin
Aria’s POVI walked out of Damon’s room and closed the door behind me.I stood there in the corridor for a few seconds, adjusting the bag in my hand. His door was right across from mine, exactly where it always was. I didn’t look at it for long. There was no point standing there, so I turned and walked into my room.The guards noticed me as I passed, but no one stopped me or asked questions. They had already learned not to interfere when I made decisions like this.I opened my door and stepped inside.Everything was still in order. Clean, neat, maintained properly by the pack staff. Nothing looked out of place. It felt like the room had been waiting for me to return, even though I had only been gone for a short time.I closed the door behind me and placed my bag on the bed.For a while, I just stood there.Not thinking deeply, just letting the silence settle properly around me. It was different from Damon’s room. That space always felt like there was something to react to, something
Luna Aria’s POVI walked into the room and closed the door behind me.Maya came in after me and shut it quietly. I didn’t speak immediately. I stayed standing near the bed for a moment, just trying to settle my thoughts before saying anything.Maya broke the silence first.“You shouldn’t have walked away from him like that.”I looked at her.“And what exactly was I supposed to do?” I asked. “Stand there and argue with someone who already decided what he saw?”Maya frowned slightly.“At least make him understand your side properly.”I let out a short, dry laugh.“He didn’t ask for my side, Maya. He asked for confirmation of what he already believed.”That made her pause.I moved away from the bed and walked toward the window, not to look outside, just to give myself space.My mind kept going back to the corridor.Lilith standing there, calm, controlled, speaking like every word was harmless. She didn’t raise her voice once, but everything she said was directed exactly where she wanted
Aria’s POVLilith had just finished speaking.The corridor went quiet after that.I didn’t move at first.Maya stood slightly in front of me, watching Lilith carefully.Lilith looked calm, like nothing she said was wrong.Then she looked at me again.“You are afraid,” she said.That was the last thing she needed to say.I moved forward and slapped her.The sound echoed in the corridor.Lilith’s head turned slightly from the impact, and she touched her cheek slowly.Maya reacted immediately.“Aria!”I didn’t look away from Lilith.“Stop talking,” I said.Lilith looked at me but didn’t step back.She didn’t look angry. She looked calm, almost steady.“You didn’t need to do that,” she said.I didn’t answer.Maya stepped between us.“That is enough,” she said firmly.Lilith ignored her and looked at me again.“I understand why you are angry,” she said.That made Maya more tense.I didn’t reply.I just stood there.Then footsteps came down the corridor.Fast.Heavy.Controlled.Damon.He s
Aria’s POVThree days passed after the argument between Damon and me.Three uncomfortable days.We still spoke when necessary, but things between us had shifted. Every conversation felt shorter, sharper, and more controlled.And now Lilith was moving freely inside the pack house.I was walking through the west corridor when I saw Maya standing near the balcony entrance.She looked tense.The moment she saw me, she spoke immediately.“So it’s true.”I stopped. “What is true?”Maya didn’t waste time.“Alpha Damon approved Lilith’s movement around the pack house.”My expression tightened.“What?”“She’s no longer restricted to the healing wing,” Maya continued. “Mira cleared her for light movement, and Alpha Damon approved it.”I stared at her for a moment.Maya crossed her arms. “I don’t like it.”“Neither do I.”“She’s been walking around acting weak and harmless all morning,” Maya said. “Some warriors are already lowering their guard around her.”That was exactly the problem.Before I
Aria’s POVDamon walked back into the room like nothing had happened between us.Like we had not spent the entire day arguing because of Lilith.I watched him remove his gloves and place them on the table near the door.“You were with her again,” I said.Damon looked at me calmly.“She remembered more details about the attack.”I crossed my arms.“And you believed her immediately.”“She gave useful information,” he replied.I stood up from the chair slowly.“She knows how to manipulate people, Damon.”His expression hardened slightly.“No, Aria. You refuse to see her as anything except a threat.”“Because she is one.”“She is injured,” he replied.“And manipulative,” I said immediately.Damon let out a frustrated breath.“You are judging everything she says before even thinking about it.”I stared at him.“And you are defending everything she says without thinking about it.”“That is not true.”“It is true,” I replied sharply. “Every time I say something about her, you make excuses fo
Lilith POV My fingers trembled as i broke the royal seal,my eyes gleamed with triumph as i read the Queen Luna's words aloud. “You are summoned to the pack house,” i whispered, my smile curling. “The Queen herself has called me.” My mother gasped, tears filling her eyes. “At last! They see your
Aria — POVWalking beside Damon felt like walking next to a thundercloud with muscles.He was silent.Focused.Annoyed.Probably plotting how to tie me to a chair so I’d stop running.Meanwhile, I was thinking about food.“Do you have bread?” I asked.Damon blinked. “Bread?”“Yes. Or meat. Or somet
Lilith — POVI didn’t cry on the way to my room.I refused to.Crying was for weak girls.Girls like Aria.Not me.I kept my chin high, my steps sharp, my face cold. I walked through the house like a queen returning from war — even though I’d lost.But the moment I stepped into my room and shut the
Aria — POVI left the garden with Luna Selene’s words echoing in my head like a heartbeat I didn’t know how to quiet.You are not a mistake.You are chosen.Your power is awakening.It should have made me feel strong.It should have made me feel hopeful.It should have made me feel… something good.
