LOGINAria never stayed long.She never could, her dad would come looking for her and so she always had to leave.Even when she laughed, even when she filled a room with that bright, stubborn energy of hers there was always somewhere else she had to be. Another place pulling at her.She never stayed in one place for too long.Still I didn’t expect her to leave so soon.“You’re going already?” I asked, walking beside her toward the entrance.She turned slightly, walking backward for a few steps, her hair catching the light as she smiled.“I said I was visiting,” she said. “Not moving in.”“Could’ve fooled me,” I muttered.She rolled her eyes. “Don’t get used to me. I’m coming back tomorrow anyway.”That made me pause and I turned to her “…You are?”“Obviously,” she said, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. “I haven’t beaten you yet.”I huffed softly. “You almost did once. You’ll be talking about it forever.”“I will beat you,” she corrected, pointing a finger at me.“Keep dream
Caelum’s pov….The clash of steel rang sharp across the training grounds.I moved fast—faster than most of the warriors sparring around me—but not fast enough to silence the thoughts crowding my head.Nyra and Elira who in my fathers words were spies.I exhaled sharply and lunged forward, knocking my opponent’s blade aside before sweeping his legs out from under him. He hit the ground hard.“Again,” I said, offering him a hand.He hesitated, breathing heavily, then took it.“You’re distracted today,” he muttered.“Focus on your stance,” I replied.But he wasn’t wrong.I stepped back, rolling my shoulders, trying to shake off the tension coiled beneath my skin.It didn’t leave but increased instead.A familiar scent drifted toward me then one I had grown up knowing when she was around.My head snapped up.And just like that everything else faded.“Caelum!”A grin broke across my face before I could stop it.She ran toward me without hesitation, her black hair catching the sunlight, her
Aria’s pov……I had to go to Louis’s pack.I took my bag while Kaelen sat there pouting “I’ll soon be back it’s just close by “ I told him kissing him“I don’t want you going alone” he said I rolled my eyes at him “I’m not some defenseless woman” I said He sighed “Fine but come home quickly” he said “Pinky promise”The forest parted as I walked, the guards trailing at a respectful distance behind me. Kaelen had insisted I took guards and I just did it so he could take a break.I wanted to come here not just as Luna but as a mother and a friend.The moment we crossed into their territory, the air shifted.It was much more warmer here.Their pack had always carried a certain energy—one forged through pain, survival, and something deeper.Love.It made my chest tighten in a way I couldn’t explain.“Luna Aria,” one of their guards greeted, bowing slightly.I smiled softly. “Is Louis inside?”“Yes, my Luna. She’s been expecting you.”Of course she had I sent a letter to her days
Aria’s pov…..We had to have an emergency pack meeting.The pack did not sleep well that night.Even those who hadn’t seen the attack, saw the effect of it.Fear had a way of spreading quietly, invisibly—seeping into walls, into breaths, into the space between heartbeats and it consumed you whole.And I felt all of it.I stood at the balcony outside our room, my arms wrapped lightly around myself as the first light of dawn stretched across the horizon. The forest looked calm again and beautiful.But I couldn’t ignore the unease I felt, my baby kicked in the womb and I sighed softly.heard movement behind me and a familiar scent.Kaelen.“You didn’t sleep,” he said.It wasn’t a question, he knew the answer already I turned slightly, offering a faint smile. “Neither did you.”He stepped beside me, his presence acting as a way to steady me. But even he couldn’t hide the tension coiled beneath his calm facade.“We can’t ignore this,” he said.“I know.”“They came too close.”My hand dri
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
Aria……I smiled softly and nicked Kaelen's ear teasing him,“Catch me if you can, big guy.”He growled and I ran as fast as I could,head down, legs pumping. Instead of running down the pack house I decided to run toward the forest. I'll have an easier time losing him in there.I heard an ear-split
Kaelen’s POV — .....The forest was silent. Too silent. The kind of silence that crushed your chest and filled your veins with dread.My wolf snarled restlessly beneath my skin, pacing, clawing, raging. Mate. Find her. She’s out there.I’d been hunting for days — nights, too. Sleep meant nothing no
Aria's pov……..His palm grips the side of my neck, gentle but firm. He pushes his forehead against mine and his skin is burning.“Fuck. I can’t. . . I can’t handle this, Aria I said I would wait until after the war I told myself I’d wait. But I need you.” I need him too. I need him to be rough wit
Aria’s POV.......The dream came first — heat, shadows, and the sound of wolves howling under a blood-red moon.I ran through an endless forest, my bare feet sinking into damp soil. A heartbeat thundered in my ears — mine, loud and wild. My veins burned. My body felt too small for what was moving i
