ログインAria's pov…Something was wrong.I could feel it in my bones.I stepped out of the house, my hand instinctively resting over my stomach.The courtyard was no longer calm.Warriors moved quickly, their voices low but tense, the aftermath of battle was still heavy in the air. The scent of blood lingered, sharp and metallic, mixing with the familiar smell of earth and pine.Why the sudden attack. Selene askedMy heart tightened, it had been so long since there was an attack like that.I saw Kaelen, he stood a few paces away, his posture rigid and his presence overwhelming he was standing In front of Elira and Nyra.The woman looked shaken, her hands trembling slightly while the girl was still calm looking silently.She gave me the creeps.Kaelen’s voice was low and controlled, but there was an edge beneath it. “You arrived yesterday and rogues attacked today. That is not coincidence.”Elira shook her head quickly. “We swear—we had nothing to do with it—”Nyra didn’t speak.Of course s
Caelum’s POV'sThe horn didn’t stop.It cut through the air again and again as a warning for everyone.People ran to the safe house and pups started crying.Rogue attack.My body moved before my mind caught up.The training ground erupted into motion—warriors grabbing their weapons, shifting mid-run, voices barking orders. Dust rose under pounding feet as the calm of the morning shattered into chaos.“East border!” someone shouted.“Multiple signatures!”I didn’t wait for more signals I ran.The world narrowed to one thing only,I had to check if Nyra was safe.My wolf surged beneath my skin, restless and eager for blood. The scent hit me halfway across the courtyard.Rotten smell of rogues and there were many.By the time I reached the outer clearing, the first wave had already breached the tree line.They came fast—snarling, wild-eyed, uncoordinated creatures but dangerous in numbers.I grabbed my sword but the first rogue lunged at me.I stepped in and my steel met his flesh. I slas
Caelum's pov…I was so glad mum allowed them to stay.I watched the girl, Nyra.She moved across the hall like she belonged here.She carried a cloth in one hand, wiping down the wooden panels with steady, practiced movements like she had some this many times before. I pushed away from the railing and walked toward her.She didn’t look up not even when my footsteps stopped a few feet away.“Did you sleep well?,” I asked her Nothing.She just kept cleaning.The cloth moved in slow, even strokes, she acted like I wasn’t there.I exhaled lightly.“Most people take a day to rest after nearly getting killed.”Still nothing not even a glance.I frowned slightly.“Nyra.”That got a reaction.Barely.Her hand paused for a second then she continued.“I just wanted to check if you’re alright,” I added.Silence.I crossed my arms.“You know, where I come from, people usually say thank you when someone saves their life.”That did it.She stopped and slowly turned to me.Her eyes met mine and sh
Aria's pov….I was so hungryThat was what kept me awake.I shifted slowly in bed, one hand instinctively resting over my stomach. The room was still dim, early morning light just beginning to seep through the curtains. Beside me, Kaelen was still sleeping, his breathing deep and even.For a moment, I simply watched him.He looked much happier and still young as ever.A faint kick pressed against my palm.I smiled.“Alright,” I whispered softly. “I hear you.”I kissed Kaelen's forehead and carefully slipped out of bed, making sure not to wake him. The floor was cool beneath my feet as I wrapped a light robe around myself and stepped out into the hallway.The house was quiet which was expected.I moved slowly down the stairs,The faint scent of food drifted upward, drawing me toward the kitchen.Good.Someone was cooking.At least I wasn’t imagining the hunger.But as I stepped into the doorway i froze.Two figures sat at the table eating.For a split second, my mind didn’t register wh
Caelum's pov…Rogue hunting with uncle Kael was my favorite activity.The forest always felt different at night and it made me feel alive.I moved through the forest with ease, my senses stretched wide, catching every shift in the wind, every snap of a twig, every distant movement that didn’t belong here.Beside me, Uncle Kael walked in silence.He didn’t need to speak.Neither did I.This was how we hunted.“You’re thinking too loudly,” he said after a while.I exhaled softly. “I’m not thinking. I’m observing.”He snorted. “Same thing.”I ignored that, my gaze sweeping the trees ahead.The rogue scent was faint—but it was there.That same rotten smell.“They passed through here,” I said quietly.Kael crouched slightly, his fingers brushing against the soil. “Not long ago.”“Two?”He shook his head. “More.”My jaw tightened.Good.I preferred it that way.More targets.More chances to prove myself.We moved again, faster now.The deeper we went, the stronger the scent became—thick and
Eighteen years later....Aria's pov…..Ouch!!I groaned as I hit my leg on a stone. The wind blew my hair on my face and I chuckled.Everything has changes now and I like it.I rested my hand over my stomach, smiling faintly.“You feel it too, don’t you?” I murmured.A soft kick answered me.I laughed quietly.“I’ll take that as a yes.”I moved as slowly as my huge belly would allow me.The path ahead stretched through the forest, familiar and comforting. Sunlight filtered through the tall trees. Birds chirped in the distance, and somewhere nearby, water trickled softly over stone.Peace.Real peace.Sometimes, it still felt unreal.There had been a time when I thought I would never have this,never have quiet mornings or even laughter. Never have a future that didn’t feel like it would shatter at any moment.But here I was.Alive and carrying new life.My fingers pressed a little more firmly against my belly, warmth blooming in my chest.“We made it,” I whispered.A breeze swept pa
Aria.... The courtyard had been transformed into something for for a match. Torches lined the high stone walls, their flames dancing in the crisp morning air, smoke curling up. Wolves stood everywhere—warriors, nobles, servants—watching in taut silence. The air vibrated with expectation, with ju
Kaelen….. Aria was infuriating. And beautiful And strong And feisty And I knew she was my mate I felt the pull during the hunt and it wasn't just because of her heat. But she doesn't know that and she is the mate to Damien Storm Moon goddess hardly gives second mates, hardly.
Kaelen’s POV) The stench of rogue blood still lingered in the halls. No matter how many torches the servants lit, no matter how many herbs were burned to mask it, I could smell it seared into the very stone. Death always clung to the aftermath of war. But it was not the blood of rogues that sour
Aria’s POV.... The council chamber smelled like smoke and steel. Torches flickered along the carved stone walls, throwing tall shadows across the circular hall where Kaelen’s council gathered. I had never stood in this place before, never felt the heavy weight of so many eyes on me at once. Kael
