INICIAR SESIÓNAlpha Damien’s POVDarkness it wrapped around me like cold water, pulling me deeper and deeper until I could no longer feel my body.I did not know how much time had passed.Maybe minutes, hours, maybe longer, everything was gone, the prison, the chains, Even the pain had disappeared.For a strange moment, it felt peaceful, then slowly, pain returned, a sharp pain stabbed through my chest, then another in my head.Then the heavy ache in my arms and legs, my body felt like it had been torn apart and forced back together.I tried to breathe, it hurt, my chest tightened, and I coughed violently, air rushed into my lungs like fire.I groaned and tried to move, but pain shot through my entire body.Then I heard a voice. “You’re awake.” My eyes opened slowly. Everything was blurry at first.The ceiling above me was made of wood, not stone, not prison walls, I blinked several times, the blur slowly cleared.I was lying on a rough bed inside a small wooden room, the smell of herbs filled the
Ariana’s POVThe truth hit me so hard that for a moment, I forgot where I was.The cold prison walls, the chains around my wrists, the pain in my body.Everything disappeared under the weight of that realization.After all the pain, all the loneliness, all the suffering, I was not alone.A broken sob escaped my lips, then another, and another.Soon, I was crying harder than I ever had before, My whole body shook with it.The tears would not stop, I cried for Mira, I cried for myself.I cried for the years we had lost, For the family I never knew I still had.My sobs sounded loud through the dark prison, loud and uncontrollable.One of the guards cursed loudly.“Why the hell are you making so much noise?” he shouted.His angry voice bounced off the stone walls.I looked up at him through blurred eyes, but I could barely see him.The tears kept falling.The guard stepped closer to the bars, fury written all over his face.“Yes, your friend is dead,” he snapped, “but that doesn’t mean you s
Alpha Rowan’s POVMy chest rose slowly, pain burned through my ribs, while my blood ran down my side, warm against my skin.But I didn’t move, not yet, not until the silence broke.And it did. A sudden whisper, it was soft a bit, but it was everywhere.“You are alone now…” My head lifted slowly. “I was always alone,” I said.My voice was rough, Low but steady a bit, the darkness around me shifted again, while the spirits returned.Not just one this time, but three, their forms twisted together, rising from the cracked ground like smoke.“You failed,” one of them said. “You lost everything,” another added.The third one was quiet. I pushed myself up slowly. My body screamed in protest.But I stood. Even if it cost me everything. “I’m still standing,” I said.The spirits moved closer. “You cannot win,” one whispered.“You are already dead here,” another said. My eyes darkened.“No,” I said quietly. “I’m just getting started.” They attacked.All at once. Dark energy crashed into me. I di
Alpha Rowan’s POVWe reached the Darklands immediately and we stood at the edge of the Darklands.The ground was dry, cracked, and dead, filled with no sound Even the trees looked wrong. Like they had been burned from the inside. Behind me, my betas and guards stood in silence.No one spoke, and no one dared move. They could feel it too.“This is where she was sent,” one of my betas said quietly.I didn’t answer.My eyes stayed fixed ahead.Ariana. The thought of her name burned inside my chest. If she was here…If she suffered here…My jaw tightened. We move,” I said.One of the guards behind me let out a small breath.“Alpha… this place—” “Stay quiet,” I said. My voice was calm and sharp. He fell silent immediately.We walked deeper. “What do we have here…”I stopped. The others froze behind me. A shape suddenly formed in front of us.It was dark, and shifting, not a human, not a wolf, it was something else, a spirit.Its voice sounded strangely. “Another Alpha… foolish enough to ent
Ariana’s POVBefore I could say anything, a sharp whistle cut through the air, Mira's head snapped to the side.“Get down!” she shouted.It was too late. An arrow shot out of the darkness. It was really fast and deadly.Mira moved without thinking. She pushed me aside. The arrow hit her shoulder.While a sickening sound followed. She gasped. Her body jerked.“Mira!”I rushed toward her, but she grabbed my arm tightly.“Don’t,” she said through clenched teeth. Her breathing changed.“It’s poisoned…” My chest tightened. “No…”Her eyes darkened instantly.“Run.” I shook my head immediately. “I’m not leaving you!”More footsteps filled the forest, immediately the guards alarmed Alpha Kael.Coming from everywhere. We were surrounded. Mira slowly stood up.Her body shaking now. But her eyes, they suddenly changed.Something wild rose inside them. “Stay behind me,” she said.Her voice was different now, it was deeper, stronger, and dangerous.Before I could react, she shifted, not like the w
Ariana’s POVDarkness—that was all I felt at first. Like I was drifting somewhere far away, where nothing could reach me.For a moment, I didn’t want to come back. A voice—it was faint and very soft.“You have to live…”My mind stirred. Who…? Another voice followed, stronger this time.“You don’t get to give up.”Something inside me reacted. My body jerked. Air rushed into my lungs like fire.I coughed hard, my chest rising and falling quickly as I gasped for breath.Everything hurt. My throat burned. My body felt heavy.My eyes fluttered open slowly. The light above me was dim, but it felt too bright at the same time.I blinked, trying to focus, but I saw a wooden ceiling—very small and rough.Where… am I…?“You’re awake.”The voice came from beside me. I turned my head slowly.A woman stood there, watching me closely. Her eyes were sharp. Relief showed on her face.“You’re safe,” she said softly.Safe. The word felt strange.My lips parted slightly. “What… happened…?” I whispered.
