A rogue slammed into Aria from the side. She landed on her back, she stood fast enough to see the rogue’s claws descending on her.

But, Kael was faster.

He tackled the rogue midair, slamming her on the ground before piercing his sword through her chest. When he looked up, his eyes found hers, dark and stormy.

“You’re hurt,” he said.

“I’ve been hurt before.”

He gave a short nod. “Don’t die on me.”

Aria’s lips parted. Not from shock but from something that tingled in her stomach.

This wasn’t how vengeance was meant to feel, but she couldn’t control what was going on inside her.

The battle raged like a never ending storm, screams echoed from both rogues and Nightfang. Aria was already feeling it in her bones, she was panting but she didn’t stop. This was for them — Silvermane, her pack, her family, her heritage. Every swing of her sword was fueled by memories of all she had lost.

Suddenly, a brown fur dashed passed her. It was Riven, one of Kael’s top guards in full wolf form, c

    In a few minutes, all the herbs were gone. Selene stepped away from the shower, and wiped her hair backwards. Her body dripping with water. “Does it still hurt?”“No,” she replied. “Not after you washed it off,” she muttered under her breath. “What?” “Nothing. I meant you should get cleaned too.” “Yeah, sure. You can go on ahead, I’ll join you,” Kael said. “No.”“What?” Kael looked confused. “I mean, you washed me off, it’s only fair that I help you out too, right?” Selene asked sarcastically, bitting her lip. Her eyes stared at his well built body. Her body responded instantly. She suddenly felt undeniable warmth gather between her legs. Kael noticed her eyes on his body. “Oh, not to worry Snow, I could just wash it off there,” Kael said pointing to the wash hand basin. Selene held his hands before he could move any further, she pulled him close and closer until she closed the space between them. She stood at the edge of the bathroom, making her a little taller than him whi

  • The Alpha’s Bane    Heat and Snow.

    Aria and Beta Darian had trained the whole day; the air in the training hall was heavy with fatigue. Aria sat in the ring, her heart pounding and her sweat dripping to the floor. “That’ll be all for today. You should get enough rest in preparation for tomorrow’s drill and initiation,” he said as he buckled up his shoes and headed for the door. “Thank you, Beta,” Aria replied. Weakness in every word. “You’re welcome.”“Beta,” Aria called as she stepped out of the ring to meet him halfway into the hall. “Yes.”“Can I bring my mentor for my initiation? I promise I’ll be back by morning. I just have to inform him, please, Beta,” Aria said, putting her hands together in an attempt to beg Beta Darian. “If I let you go now, you have to be back before morning bells tomorrow. Can you do that?” “Yes, sir. Thank you, sir,” Aria said happily. “Hold on.” Aria paused. “Just one, we don’t normally allow rogues in our territory, but since he’s your mentor, the Alpha can put up with that.”“Y

  • The Alpha’s Bane     The Day Before.

    Down in the middle of the hall was Aria, still trying to wrap her head around what had just happened with the Alpha. Her hand found it’s way to her neck—the exact spot where Kael had earlier buried his face. “What’s going on? Why would he do that to me? Why did I let him touch me? I could have protested…, but I sat still like a figurine.”Aria wrestled with her mind. She was here to kill this Alpha so why did she let him get so close. “Does he feel something for me? What on earth is this tingling in my tummy?” Just then, Kael stormed out of the watch tower. Beta Darian followed behind. Aria’s stomach tightened as she lowered her gaze. Kael walked passed Aria, unbothered—like nothing had happened. His dark eyes fixed on the door, his black cape sweeping the dusty floor as he went, his aura—commanding. He walked out of the training hall in a split second. Aria watched him leave, almost lost in her thoughts until the slam of the door jolted her back. “Lyra,” Beta Darian called ou

    His dark stormy eyes met hers. In Kael’s mind, there was only silence, until a surge of electricity ran through him, just like at midnight. He clenched his fists and tried to get a grip on himself. Just then, Aria’s voice pierced through the silence. “Alpha,” she called out again. “Ly…Lyra, the mew moon is tomorrow night. You need to train for your initiation,” he said, running his hand through his hair as he struggled to put his words together. “What is she doing to me?” “Yes, my lord,” she responded. “Why was he staring at me like I’m a ghost?” she muttered. “What are you saying?” “Nothing, Alpha,” Aria replied, lowering her gaze quickly. “Beta Darian would be here any minute. He had to give a speech to start the purification rites,” he said as he walked further towards her. Aria stood still, confused. “Why does he have to come here? I can just wait around for Beta or he could have sent for me when he’s here not now,” she thought. “Come,” he said, grabbing her wrist befo

    “You can’t get me,” little Aria laughed as she ran through the woods. “Don’t slow down, I’m right behind you,” Cassian said running behind Aria. Cassian was the fastest wolf in the pack, but he let his little sister believe she could meet him at a race. They’d normally run through the woods and play around. That’s what silvermane was about — peace and quite. Then, a herd of birds flew all at once. Little Aria yelled. Cassian stopped. Then, a loud blast — the war horn. Tears streamed down Aria’s cheeks as her brother grabbed her, placed her on his back and ran back into the village. “Cassian, I’m scared,” Aria whimpered, burying her face in her brother’s fur.“Its going to be alright,” he assured, his breath shaky as he ran at his top speed. Last thing he ever wanted was to watch his little sister get hurt or be in any form of pain. By the time they reached the village, warriors were already assembling. Her father stood at the front, belts fastened, sword and armor in place.

    The morning bell rang at its usual time—enough of the celebration. Wolves were back to their routines. Aria jolted awake at the sound of the bell. She hadn’t slept well since her conversation with the Alpha. The dining room swarmed with wolves. Aria ate her meal rapidly, barely tasting the food, and in no time the next bell rang — a call to training. Aria made her way to the training hall and sat on a bench in the right corner. She sat still and watched other wolves train as commanders barked orders. Then a voice called out — it was General Thorne. “Lyra Vane!” he called out, his voice loud and sharp. He walked towards her. Aria stood up, and walked towards him without hesitation. “You no longer train in this hall. Come with me.”General Thorne led Aria out of the hall. The thumping of their boots echoed against the stony floor as they moved down the corridor. “Congratulations on your promotion, Lyra. You’ll now undergo several training phases for the shadow warriors before your
