ログインDamon’s POV The palace was too quiet,not the kind of quiet that brought peace, but the kind that pressed against the walls and made every sound sharper, heavier, My boots echoed on the stone floors as I walked down to my mother's chamber, and I could feel the weight of eyes on me ,servants bowing quickly, warriors stiffening at their posts, whispers followed me like shadows. My father’s killer was locked away,His confession had been clear, his words venomous, but something about it gnawed at me, I can feel something is not right,I could not silence the voice inside me, tomorrow, I would mark Aria, tomorrow, she would stand beside me as Luna, and that's enough to steady my mind but my mind can't seems to accept Aria's as the culprit even though he admits to it himself, I found Mother seated by the fire, her hands folded tightly in her lap, The flames painted her face in shades of grief, She looked smaller somehow, as if the weight of loss had pressed her into the chair. "Damo
Damon’s POV The council chamber was heavy with silence, Elders sat stiffly, warriors lined the walls, and Aria stood beside me, her chin high, her eyes blazing. "Bring him in,"I commanded,the doors opened, Aria’s father was dragged inside, wrists bound, his face pale but defiant, his gaze flicked to Aria, then to me. I rose, my voice sharp,"your scent was found at the eastern patrol, you opened the gates, you betrayed the Alpha King, you killed my father." Aria’s father sneered,"yes, I did it, your Alpha was weak, this pack needed stronger blood,I gave the rogues their chance." The elders erupted, voices clashing. "You betrayed the King!,you doomed the Queen!,you brought rogues into our land!" I slammed my hand against the table, "Silence!" Aria stepped forward, her voice cutting through the chaos,"you disgust me father, you are no father of mine,you betrayed your Alpha,you betrayed me, though that's not surprising but you betrayed this pack? wow I can't believe this." her wo
Damon’s POV "Rylan," I said, my voice low but commanding,my Beta straightened immediately,"Call the council, I want every elder in the chamber within the hour, We have traitors to root out, and I will not wait." Rylan bowed his head, "Yes, Alpha," He left swiftly, his boots echoing down the corridor,I turned back to Aria,she already closed her eyes ,her breathing steady, her face pale but no longer lifeless, my chest tightened, I had carried her through death’s shadow, and I would never let her fall again. Then her lashes fluttered, she opened her eyes and looked at me, and for the first time since the forest, strength glimmered in her gaze. "Damon," she whispered. I leaned closer, gripping her hand, "i’m here." She pushed herself upright, ignoring the physician’s protests, "I feel better,don’t leave me behind,If you’re going to face the council, I’m coming with you." I frowned,"Aria, you need rest." Her lips curled into a defiant smile, "I'll rest later Damon, your fath
Damon’s POV I carried Aria in my arms, her body limp, her skin cold against mine,my chest burned with fury and fear, but I forced myself to move quickly through the palace gates,warriors parted,"Bring the physician!" I barked, my voice sharp as steel. "Now!" Servants scattered, guards rushed, and within moments the pack’s physician appeared ,an old woman, her hair silver, her eyes sharp with wisdom. She had served the pack longer than I had lived, and though her body was frail, her presence commanded respect. She looked at Aria, her gaze lingering, and something flickered in her eyes. "Lay her down," she ordered softly., I obeyed, placing Aria gently upon the bed. The physician’s hands moved with surprising steadiness, checking her pulse, her wounds, her breath. She whispered words I didn’t understand, old chants, fragments of lore. "She is not dying," the physician said at last, her voice low, "But she is not only a wolf." I froze, "What do you mean?" Her eyes met mine, "I h
Aria’s POV I woke to the bite of rope cutting into my wrists,my body was bound to a tree, the bark scraping my back,the forest was damp, shadows crawling, and the stench of rogues filled the air. They circled me, grinning like predators. "Well, well, one sneered, leaning close enough that his breath made my skin crawl. "The big wolf who thinks she’s strong." Another laughed, tugging at my torn clothes. "Strong? Look at her now,tied up like prey,where’s your Alpha now, little girl?" I glared at them, forcing steel into my voice even as fear clawed at me. "You think tying me up with a rope deep inside silver will make me weak? You’re nothing but cowards hiding in the shadows." The first rogue chuckled, his teeth yellow. "Cowards? We’re the ones who dragged you out here,We’re the ones who’ll break you,when we’re done, you’ll beg us to kill you." My stomach twisted, bile rising, I spat at him, my voice trembling but defiant. "You’ll never break me, I’d rather die than bow to filth
Damon’s POV The horn still rang in my ears as I stormed through the pack gates,guards scrambled, servants screamed, but when I reached the walls, there was nothing,no rogues, no danger. “False alarm,” Rylan muttered, shame dripping from his voice. I clenched my jaw, fury boiling,a mistake? My wolf snarled inside me, do you fools know what you're doing? how could that be? I didn’t wait for an answer,my chest burned, my wolf clawed at me, trying to take over as I gave them orders. some of you to my parents Chamber,Protect them with your Life,Now!, the rest of you should check on the pack members. The warriors scattered, fear in their eyes. I sprinted back to the training ground, I smell rogues and Aria faint sain,my wolf became restless,all I could see was the staff lay abandoned,blood stained the dirt, my heart stopped. “Aria?” My voice is cracked, desperate, trembling,I don't want to believe they took her but all I hear is Silence. I dropped to my knees, my fingers brushi
Lilith’s POV Aria had shifted. But what did it matter? No one believed her. The King scolded her, the Queen dismissed her, and Damon the mighty Alpha hesitated. That hesitation was mine. My triumph. That night, I returned to my parents’ house,the air was thick with tension, my mother pacing, my
