“Goodnight Alan”
I wished Alan, my boss, goodnight before I walked out of the diner and headed home. Tonight was a special night for me and my mate. Nick and I were declared mates by our moon goddess about a year ago and tonight was our anniversary. I got an early leave from work and decided to prepare a romantic dinner for us before surprising him with my gift.
It was just a 10 minutes’ walk from the diner to my small apartment but I passed by the grocery shop and bought a few things.
Nick would be home soon, so I rushed through everything. I cooked, lit up the candles around the place and put some flowers all over and on the bed before showering and getting dressed. I didn’t have much but it was always enough for me and I was content with how my life was going.
I lost both my parents in a car accident last year and if it wasn’t for Nick I would have killed myself as well. He became my everything even after I decided to leave our pack; Nick followed me and left everything behind us. Our bond was strong and well rooted.
Ding … Dong
I was finishing up my makeup when the doorbell rang. I checked myself one last time in the mirror before running towards the door.
I opened the door and here he was. My mate Nick stood as handsome and sexy as ever with flowers in his hands.
“WOOOW. You look gorgeous tonight, Aria” he hugged me and pecked my lips before walking in.
He couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw the place and loved my cooking. After we finished eating, we cuddled together on the sofa watching a movie.
I was eating some popcorn while Nick played with my hair. I thought this would be a good moment for my surprise.
“Nick”
“Hmm”
“I have a surprise for you”
He turned towards me, and with a sly smirk on his face he tenderly rubbed one of my boobs: “Oh yeah”
“Not that” I pushed his hand playfully and straightened in my seat.
“C’mon, that would be the perfect surprise” he buried his head in the crock of my neck and started to kiss me.
I was burning up and my wolf yearned for his touch: “Nick”
“Yeah babe, call my name. I will have you screaming all night” he pushed me back on the sofa and hovered over me. He took off his shirt and I felt myself go wet instantly after seeing his sexy, well tuned body.
He grabbed both my hands and pinned them over my head before taking his time to undress me. With that I lost myself completely to him and surrendered to the passionate sex all night.
I laid in his arms half asleep when he called my name: “Aria”
“Yeah” he kissed my bare shoulder and said: “What did you want to say?”
I weakly turned to him, stared into his mesmerizing eyes, smiled shyly and said: “I am pregnant”
He stared back at me without comprehending what I said. He looked confused and shocked: “What!!??”
I smiled at him feeling the butterflies again in my stomach go crazy just like when I first discovered and touched my stomach saying: “We are going to have a pup”
He sat up and started to get dressed. I watched him and my butterflies started to turn into spiders of worry creeping up my soul.
“Nick”
“Aria, this baby has to go” he put on his pants and stood in front of me with anger sparking in his eyes.
“Nick, you are scaring me. What are you saying?” I grabbed my shirt and put it on.
“You should get an abortion” his voice was getting louder and more serious.
“No” I stood up and faced him defiantly. He straightened his back and looked completely enraged.
“We are going to the hospital now” Nick suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the door.
I pinned my legs to the floor and with all my might pulled my arm away from his claw like grasp: “I said no”
He turned to me: “Aria, I don’t want this, I want to go back to our pack”
I felt a bucket full of ice fall over my head. He wasn’t serious about me: “What do you mean?”
Nick suddenly realized what he said and quickly collected himself: “I don’t mean that. But I don’t want any responsibilities now. You can get rid of it and when we are ready we can try again together”
I stared at him unbelieving what he just said: “Nick I am not going to kill my child”
“Aria, look at you. You are just a worthless waitress and barely make it every month. Look where you live, do you think this shitty apartment is good for a baby? Do you believe you can even be a good mother? You are lazy, messy and careless”
His words were like bullets to my heart. Each one hitting deeper than the other leaving me bleeding, I slumped my body again on the sofa and uncontrollably tears ran down my cheeks. I could feel our bond cracking like glass slowly. How could he say such hurtful words? Was this what he thought about me? Was I just a toy for his pleasure?
“Leave” was the only word I could think of right now. I wanted to be alone.
“If I leave now, I will reject you as my mate and disown this baby”
I stared at him, disgusted with him. He was never a man but only a lowlife.
“Just fucking leave now”
He looked at me and smirked as relieved to finally do this: “I Nick of the silver pack reject you Aria as my mate and disown this pup to be my blood”
Just like that I felt our bond shatter completely as I saw him grab his shirt and leave. I heard the door being slammed violently and then complete silence.
I was alone.
I hugged myself and laid back on the couch feeling nothing but misery and agony cutting my soul with sharp knives…
⭐️Klaus POV⭐️The witch’s laugh echoed off the temple walls like thunder wrapped in madness, and from within the cobra’s fiery chest, her voice seeped through the flames.“You should’ve stayed in your castle, Black.”The flames twisted, peeled back—just enough for her face to appear inside the cobra’s skull, ghostlike, flickering. The witch. Her eyes glowed white-hot, her grin manic, jagged like cracked glass.My heart slammed against my ribs.It wasn’t just fire. It was her. She was the cobra. She had bound herself to the flames—made herself a creature of it. This wasn’t just a spell.It was dark and ancient magic used only by blood… Aria’s blood. I took a step forward, my boots crunching over ash, ignoring the raw ache in my ribs, the bruises blooming across my body like flowers of pain.“Let her go!” I roared.The cobra lunged—fast as a lightning strike.I dove aside, its flames licking the edge of my shirt, scorching the floor where I’d stood a heartbeat before. The heat chased m
⭐ Klaus POV ⭐I started to accept the truth of giving up as my eyes blurred and air was no longer in my lungs. I started to slip into the darkness when through the smoke and shadows—Elijah roared. He slammed his fist into his shadow’s chest, sending it crashing sideways into Sam’s attacking shadow. The moment it stumbled, Sam collapsed to the floor, gasping for air.And just like that—a spark.A crack in the pattern.One could hurt another.An idea ignited in me like wildfire.“Everyone—switch!” I roared into their minds, voice burning with urgency. “Sam—fight Tory’s shadow. Elijah—take on Sam’s. Don’t fight yourselves. Fight each other’s. DO IT. NOW!”The shadows paused—only for a moment—but it was enough. Confusion flickered in their eyes. Once Tory was free, she didn’t pause. She jumped to free Zed from his shadow. And Zed stopped Elijah’s shadow from attaching him again. I didn’t stop either. “SHERRY!” I shouted aloud.Her head snapped toward me like she’d just broken free from
⭐ Klaus POV ⭐We all turned toward each other as the witch faded like mist into the air, her presence vanishing without a trace—only her curse remained.for a few seconds nothing happened but our shadows started to move next.Not like tricks of the firelight. No—these shadows moved with intention, with hunger. They slithered from the temple’s corners like vipers, pulling themselves across the cracked stone floor. They stretched unnaturally long, reaching with tendrils that clawed at the light like it offended them.It started like a spill—thick, black ink bleeding across the floor, pooling beneath our feet.The darkness moved against the flames, defying the natural order.And then it rose.Like smoke uncoiling from a cursed altar, the shadows peeled upward and took shape.And mine… was staring right back at me.Taller. Sharper. Twisted into something cruel. Its eyes weren’t mine—they glowed a deep, unnatural red, pulsing with the rage I’d buried, the fear I’d silenced, and the violenc
⭐ Klaus POV ⭐I pushed the door open and stepped inside.CREAAAAKKKThe air in the temple was thick, colder than I remembered. Shadows clung to the cracked stone walls like old memories, and silence draped itself over the space with unsettling familiarity. It was just as it had been the last time Aria and I came here—searching for answers we wanted to find.But this time, the air was different. Heavier. Tainted. The kind of silence that screamed just before hell broke loose.“Be careful,” I warned the others, my voice low but commanding. “This witch likes to play mind games. She makes you see things—feel things. She’ll drag your worst fear to the surface and force you to drown in it.”No one replied. They knew better than to underestimate this place. We moved together, quiet and sharp, like a single entity. Each of us alert, each of us ready for a fight.Our footsteps echoed through the long corridor as we approached the main hall. The ancient stone beneath our feet pulsed faintly wit
⭐ Aria POV ⭐I had fallen asleep. Somehow, despite the ache, and the waiting—I had drifted off, curled on the old mattress like a child clinging to a fading dream.And when I opened my eyes again…It wasn’t darkness that greeted me.It was the sunlight.Golden rays spilled across my face, warming my skin like a soft whisper. Dust motes floated lazily in the warm air, dancing with the gentle breeze that rustled the wildflowers around me. The scent of earth and fresh grass filled my lungs—a sharp contrast to the stale, damp air of the chamber I had been trapped in.I blinked, slowly rising to my feet. The stone walls were gone. The damp cold of the chamber—gone.I was in the meadow.The meadow.The place that had witnessed the beginning of everything. The night Klaus and I gave in to everything we’d been holding back. The night we truly became one.The wildflowers swayed in the breeze, the grass brushing softly against my bare ankles, and ahead—The waterfall.Its roar was gentle now, l
⭐Aria POV⭐The tip of the dagger fell fast—too fast.I saw it descending like death made solid, cutting through the air with a whistle of finality. It was aimed straight for my heart… or worse, for the life growing inside me.Instinct took over.My hand flew to my stomach, shielding the only pure thing left in this nightmare. My other arm raised to fight—to claw, to grab, to survive. But before I could touch her—before I could stop her—The dagger froze.Suspended. Inches from my chest.My breath caught. I looked at her wondering why she stopped.The witch’s brows furrowed, her hand trembling around the weapon that should have already cut me open. Her eyes darted sideways, confused. Alarmed.She wasn’t alone.Kaden, too.He was standing behind her, and for the first time since I woke up in this hell…They looked scared. Truly, deeply scared.His eyes darted around the chamber, suddenly alert—as if the air itself had shifted. The witch stiffened, her breath hitching.They both felt it.
