LOGINDiamond’s POVI stormed into my room, slamming the door so hard the walls shook. The bottle of wine I’d stolen from Kael’s office was still clutched in my hand, my knuckles white from how tightly I gripped it. Pathetic.That’s what today had been. A pathetic display of weakness. I poured myself another glass, downing it in one gulp. The burn in my throat did nothing to soothe the fire in my chest. “They think they’ve won?“ A bitter laugh escaped me. They had no idea what was coming. A knock at my door made me snarl. “Go away.” The door opened anyway. I whirled around, ready to rip into whoever dared ignore me—only to freeze. Him.The man standing in my doorway was tall, his dark eyes sharp, his expression unreadable. He stepped inside, closing the door behind him with deliberate slowness. “You’re slipping,” he said, his voice low. I scoffed. “I don’t answer to you.” “No,” he agreed, tilting his head. “But you do answer to him.” A chill ran down my spine at the
Kael’s povI slowly sneaked out of the ceremony as I was boiling with rage. Aria had just cut ties with the pack and the bond snapped so hard, I could still feel pain in my chest but what I could not take was Diamond interference.I got to the pack before her and walked angrily to my office. I picked up the glass which was on my desk and threw it hard against the wall.It collided and scattered everywhere.“Fuck!”My door to my office flung open and my sister walked in.“What the hell.” she looked around to see the shattered glass.“Kael, what is going on? I heard the commotion and I ran here.”I stared at her with anger in my eyes. This was part of her fault. If she had not testified against me in court, Aria would still be this pack.I rushed to her and slammed her body hard on the wall.“You, you did this.” I said as I choked her hard. I did not care if she was my sister at that moment.She looked at me with her eyes mixed with emotions but I could see her wolf taking control.“Kae
Aria’s POVThe air was thick with tension as the ceremony resumed. Diamond’s presence loomed over us like a storm cloud, her smirk never fading. I could feel the weight of her gaze on me, calculating, waiting. The council leader cleared her throat, her voice steady but firm. “We will now proceed with the second part of the ceremony—the official recognition of the rogue pack as a legal entity under the Moonlight Accord.” Darius stepped back, positioning himself between me and Diamond, his stance protective. Ryker and a few other rogues moved closer, forming a loose barrier around the altar. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. “This was supposed to be my moment of freedom. Why did she have to ruin it?”The council leader continued, “Alpha Darius, step forward.” Darius moved to stand before the council, his expression unreadable. “Do you, Darius, swear to uphold the laws of the Moonlight Accord and lead your pack with honor and justice?” “I swear it,” he a
Aria's povThe day for the ceremony is finally here. I have spent my entire time this week preparing for it.Darius for some unknown reason is distant and it was messing with me mentally.I wore my red dress—it represented the ties I was willing to shed for my freedom.As I stared at myself in the mirror, my best friend, Jane walked into the room.“Hey…..how are you? Are you ready?” she asked with a soothing voice.I looked at her with a weak smile, “I'm fine. Thanks for asking. And yes, I'm ready.”“Good, let's do this.”She held her hand out and I took it. I could feel the support she was indirectly giving to me.We walked down to the clearing where my tie breaking ceremony would be held first and then we would all migrate towards the hall to start the ceremony of the rogue pack becoming a new and legal pack.I looked around, “ this was it. I can do this.” I said to myself.Jane smiled at me, “let's get this over with.” I gave her a slight nod and she returned it with a smile. Sh
Darius POVThe forest was quiet, save for the crunch of leaves under my boots as Ryker and I made our way deeper into the woods. This path was well hidden—a place we used for covert meetings when we didn’t want anyone listening in. The moon filtered through the treetops, casting long shadows on the ground, and I could feel the tension building inside me.Ryker didn’t say anything at first, just handed me a folded piece of parchment. I opened it and quickly scanned the contents.“This is a list of Alpha’s she’s been contacting?” I asked.He nodded grimly. “Yes. Five, to be exact. She’s been promising them something from their land resources if they back her during the ceremony.”My grip tightened on the parchment. Diamond wasn’t just scheming—she was preparing for war.“She’s bold,” I muttered. “Trying to take power during a sacred ceremony takes more than confidence. It takes madness.”Ryker crossed his arms. “Or desperation. She knows her window of opportunity is closing.”My though
Darius PovWe were back to our pack. The trip to the silverclaw pack has been nothing but disastrous.Kael and Diamond wanted Aria back in their pack and I just found out that Diamond is planning something bad.I heard a knock on the door, “Come in.”The door was pushed open and Ryker walked into the office.“What is the update?” I asked him without waiting for his input.“Hmmm….a lot is going on but the two ceremonies would be held side by side. So Aria can renounce her rights to the pack and the celebration for being a new pack can commence.” Ryker told me the details.“Why was the ceremony not held in the Silverclaw pack?”I stood up from my chair and walked to the big window, “I don't trust them not to pull any other stunt to try and keep Aria there.”Ryker walked to the window, “You seem to really like her.”I paused for a while, “I do, a lot”“Then why don't you let her know?” Ryemker turned to me.“I…I…don't know. Aria has been through so much, from her family, her sister, her
Aria’s povThe day to leave this horrible pack that rejected me finally came. The lack that never made me feel like I was at home.I came back to see if my parents at least missed me and after stalking their house for a day, I was convinced that they didn't.I couldn't care less, though. I was happ
Darius’s POVThe throne room was still filled with murmurs and tense whispers as the council deliberated over Kael’s accusation. I could feel the weight of every gaze in the room pressing down on me, waiting for my response. But I wasn’t rattled. If Kael thought he could use some old law to take Ar
Aria’s POVAs the car hummed softly beneath us, I traced my fingers over the delicate locket Ellen had given me. It was beautiful—ornate, yet simple. A reminder of a past I had tried so hard to bury.“Are you sure you want me to have this?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Ellen smiled, he
Darius PovToday was the day I faced the council and heard their conclusion on the petition I submitted last two days——to make Rouge pack a legal pack.I dressed up in my normal day to day wear which consisted of black pants, white long sleeve shirt with the sleeves folded up and two buttons undone
