Aria's POV

The blankets were wrapped around me when I woke up suddenly. For a few seconds, I lay there, staring at the ceiling. Last night was still fresh in my mind. Lucian’s words and his warmth lingered.

I sat up slowly. The room was quiet. I hadn’t dreamed at all last night. It had just been a strange, heavy sort of peace.

I took a shower and put on my simple training clothes. I pulled my hair into a tight braid. When I opened my door, Lira stood in the hall with a tray.

    Lucian’s POVI shut Aria’s door as gently as I could. I still had her letter in my hand and I did not even realize I had been clutching it until my fingers started to hurt. Her words played over and over in my head. Not the fear, but the certainty. Aria never exaggerated, and if she said she felt something, then she truly felt it.I did not head to my study. I did not want guards, scribes or those walls that always seemed to listen in. Instead, I turned toward the barracks, toward that cramped, secure chamber we used when we needed privacy.Ronan and Kael were already there. Maps covered the table, with markers scattered wherever borders and patrol lines tangled together. The place smelled like old paper and iron. Ronan leaned over the table with his arms folded. Kael stood by the window with his hands behind his back, staring out like he was searching for something beyond the stone.They both looked up when I walked in.“We have a problem,” I said.I crossed the room and set the lett

    Aria’s POVI slipped the letter into my pocket. It felt heavier than paper should, like it was dragging at my steps. I kept telling myself I’d show Lucian. I would. Just… not yet. First, I had to figure out why reading it made me feel so alone.The hall to my room was too quiet. My boots echoed on the stone, each step making my head feel louder. Silvermoon. My mother. This letter that should have mattered, but honestly, it felt like nothing at all.I shut my door and leaned against it, letting out a slow breath. I set the letter on my desk by the window. The paper was creased, sharp-edged from where I’d gripped it too tightly. I smoothed it out with my hand and sat down.To Aria, I hope you are well. Your father and I think of you often. We believe you are safe at the academy. Life here in Silvermoon is the same as always. We know you will act properly, the way you were raised. If you are not too busy, we would like you to write back. Sincerely, Evelyn HaleI read it again. A

When I opened my door, Lira stood in the hall with a tray.“You’re up early,” she said, her eyes kind.“Couldn’t sleep anymore,” I replied. It was not the whole truth, but it was easier than explaining the quiet feeling inside me.She handed me a roll from the tray. “Eat. You will need it.”“Why?”“Captain Varron is here. He’s waiting for you in the yard.”My mouth dropped open. “Captain Varron? Why is he here? What about Master Kael?”Lira shrugged. “I heard he left on important business. I really don’t know.”I ate the roll as I walked. The halls were still quiet in th

    With heavy steps, I walked to my study. Ronan was already there when I opened the door. He leaned over my desk, papers spread out everywhere. He looked up, his face serious."You look terrible," he said."I feel that way," I replied, closing the door. "What do you have for me?"He pushed a paper towards me. It was an old pack registry, the ink was already faded. A name was circled: Victor Hale. Next to it was a rough sketch of the pendant."I've been tracking the symbol," Ronan said. "It's old. Older than him. It's a family mark, but they don’t use it openly anymore. It's more like a personal seal, for things you don’t want the whole pack to see."I picked up the paper. The drawing of the twisted wolf and crescent moon looked even more ominous under the lamplight. "So it definitely belongs to him?""The symbol does," Ronan corrected. He tapped another page that listed names. "But that doesn’t mean he dropped it. This symbol would have been passed down. His father had it. Maybe his gra

    I turned the handle and opened the door. Aria stood there wrapped in a blanket, her feet bare on the cold floor. Her hair was messy from sleep.“I heard you,” she said, her voice still slow with sleep. “Is everything okay?”For a second, I just looked at her. The guard was gone, the hallway was dark. It was just us.“Everything’s fine,” I said. The words felt wrong as soon as I said them.She pulled the blanket tighter. “You were out there a long time.”“I didn’t mean to wake you.”“You didn’t.” She was watching my face, and I knew I wasn’t hiding it well. “Something’s wrong. Tell me.”I couldn’t. Not yet. So I deflected. “Can’t sleep?”She shook her head. “Bad dreams.”I nodded towards her room. “Want to sit?”She stepped back to let me in. The room was neat. Her bed was rumpled. She sat on the edge of it. I leaned against the wall, leaving space between us.We were quiet.She folded her arms around herself. Something was wrong. I could see it now.She looked at the floor.“You’re qu

  • The Alpha King's Chosen    Chapter 85

    Lucian's POV I found Kael in the training yard, just standing there, staring at the wall like he expected it to give him all the answers he’d been searching for. He wasn’t calm, more like frozen, stuck in the middle of some storm only he could see.“You good?” I asked, stepping up next to him. He didn’t look over. “Yeah. Just thinking.” His eyes stayed glued to the wall.I let the silence hang for a second. “Anyway, I need you to check something out. Looks like there’s a problem.”That finally got his attention. He turned, and his eyes, which were usually sharp, looked clouded and distant.“Aria got a letter. From her old pack.”Right then, his whole vibe changed. And suddenly he was all focus, dangerous and intense. “From who?” His words were quick, like he was ready for a fight. “Who sent it?”“A maid. Leah. Aria said she was her closest friend, the only one who was ever kind to her.” I handed him the letter. He took it slowly, his eyes scanning every line. When he hit the part a
