Damon’s POV

By the time the first ropes of red light pulled across the horizon, the world already tasted like the start of a tragedy...metal on the tongue, wet earth clinging to the air, the kind of cold that settles into your bones like a memory.

The moon hung swollen and bruised above us, a crimson wound in the sky. I felt it awaken something old and animal in me. Something hungry. Something afraid.

The pack moved beneath me, shadows in motion. But my mind kept circling back to her...to Aria’s face, the face that had become my compass, my reason, the hinge of everything that had led us here.

“Damon.” Elric’s voice came low, steady. A man carved from warnings. He stood at the map table, tracing the terrain with a slow, careful finger. Hawk-eyed, always three breaths ahead of the rest of us. “The rogues split into three waves. Western ridge remains the weakest point. If they break it...”

“They won’t.”

My voice cut sharper than the blade at my hip. It had to. Doubt spreads like rot. M

  • The Alpha’s Betrayed Mate   Epilogue

    The full moon hung heavy in the night sky, casting silver light across the clearing where wolves from both packs had gathered. It had been twenty years since that stormy night when Lexa and Kaelen first entered the world, and tonight we celebrated something even more precious.I stood beside Damon at the edge of the gathering, his hand warm in mine, watching as Lexa moved through the crowd with her mate, a strong wolf from the northern territories named Ashton. His dark hair and gentle eyes complemented her silver gaze perfectly, and the way he looked at her reminded me so much of how Damon had once looked at me, still looked at me, with awe and devotion."She's happy," Damon murmured, his thumb stroking the back of my hand."She is," I agreed, my voice thick with emotion. "I never thought I'd see this day. Our daughter, mated and blessed by the Moon Goddess herself."Kaelen approached us, his golden eyes bright with joy. At twenty, he'd grown into a formidable warrior, his broad shou

  • The Alpha’s Betrayed Mate   Chapter 127. The Dawn of Peace

    Aria's POVThe seasons had turned and turned again, painting the Winchester territory in cycles of green and gold, white and bloom. Years had passed since that stormy night when I brought Lexa and Kaelen into this world, years filled with growth and healing and love I never believed possible.I stood on the balcony of our chambers, watching the sunrise paint the sky in shades of pink and orange. The air was crisp, carrying the scent of pine and morning dew. Below, in the training grounds, I could see movement, hear laughter that made my heart swell.Warm arms wrapped around my waist from behind, pulling me back against a solid chest. Damon's scent surrounded me, familiar and comforting, still capable of making my pulse quicken even after all these years."You're up early," his deep voice rumbled against my ear, lips brushing my temple.I leaned into him, covering his hands with mine where they rested on my stomach. "I couldn't sleep. I was thinking.""About what?" he asked, his chin s

  • The Alpha’s Betrayed Mate   Chapter 126. The Alpha's Legacy

    Damon's POVI couldn't stop staring at them. My hands, scarred from battles and stained with the blood of enemies, trembled as I cradled the tiny forms against my chest. The boy lay in the crook of my right arm, his golden eyes watching me with an awareness no newborn should possess. The girl rested against my left side, her silver gaze equally piercing, equally strange.They were so small. So fragile. Yet the power radiating from them made my wolf pace restlessly beneath my skin."Damon," Aria whispered from the bed, her voice weak but filled with warmth. "You're shaking."I was. I didn't realize it until she said it. My entire body trembled with emotions I couldn't name. Fear. Wonder. Love so fierce it burned through my chest like wildfire."I've torn apart rogues with my bare hands," I said, my voice rough. "I've led armies. I've killed men twice my size without flinching. But this..." I looked down at them again. "This terrifies me."Aria smiled, exhaustion painting shadows under

  • The Alpha’s Betrayed Mate   Chapter 125. The Night of Birth

    Aria's POVThe storm crashed against the windows like fists pounding on glass. Lightning split the sky, and thunder rolled so deep it shook the floor beneath my feet. I gripped the edge of the bed, my knuckles white, my breath coming in sharp gasps that burned my throat.Another contraction tore through me, fiercer than before. I doubled over, a cry ripping from my lips before I could hold it back."Damon," I gasped, my voice barely more than a whisper.He was there in an instant. His large hand cupped the back of my neck, steadying me, grounding me. His dark eyes, usually so cold and commanding, were soft now, filled with something raw and unguarded."I'm here," he said, his voice rough but gentle. "I'm not going anywhere."I wanted to tell him to leave, to spare him from seeing me like this, weak and trembling. But the words died in my throat. I needed him. I hated that I needed him, but I did."It hurts," I whispered, tears streaming down my cheeks. "Damon, it hurts so much."His j

  • The Alpha’s Betrayed Mate   Chapter 124. The Naming of Hope

    Hope's POVTwins.I placed my hand gently on my mother's growing belly, feeling the faint flutter of life beneath my palm. Two lives. Two souls that would be my siblings, my responsibility, my family."I promise to guide you," I whispered, knowing they couldn't hear me yet but needing to say it anyway. "To teach you everything I know. To protect you the way Mom and Dad protected me."Aria smiled from where she sat in the garden, the afternoon sun catching the highlights in her dark hair. She looked radiant, glowing with that inner light that came from carrying new life. "You're going to be an amazing big sister, Hope.""I hope so." I sat down beside her on the stone bench. "It's a big responsibility.""So is carrying two souls within yourself," Damon said, approaching us with rolled parchment under his arm. His tall frame cast a shadow that provided welcome shade from the heat. "But you've handled that with grace and strength."I felt the shadow-self stir within me, no longer separate

  • The Alpha’s Betrayed Mate   Chapter 123. Bloodlines and Blessings

    Damon's POVThe news spread like wildfire through the pack.Despite our attempts to keep it private, by the end of the week everyone knew that Luna Aria was expecting. I suspected Elder Mira had let it slip during one of her healing sessions, or perhaps someone had noticed the way I hovered around Aria, the protective instincts I couldn't quite hide.Either way, the secret was out.Now I stood on the balcony of the pack house, watching as wolves gathered in the courtyard below, their voices rising in celebration. They had decorated the entire territory with ribbons and flowers, turning our home into something that looked almost festive."They're happy," Aria said, coming to stand beside me. Her hand rested on her still-flat stomach, a gesture that had become habitual in the past few days."They should be. An heir means stability, continuity, hope for the future." I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her close. "But more importantly, I'm happy… Terrified, but happy."She laughed,
