Aria's POV

Three hours.

I had been hanging from the post for three hours.

My shoulders burned. My wrists were raw where the chains bit into skin. My feet kept slipping off the ground, forcing my full weight onto my arms.

But I kept my head up.

I refused to hang like a defeated thing.

The pack moved around the courtyard. Training. Sparring. Carrying out morning duties. Most avoided looking at me directly.

But they all looked.

I could feel it. Stolen glances. Whispered conversations that stopped

    Aria's POVTwo guards appeared at my side the moment Kieran disappeared through the doors.The bigger one grabbed my arm. "Back to the cells."I didn't resist. There was no point. Not yet.We crossed the courtyard. The pack was still watching, their eyes were following my every step. Some looked impressed. Most looked annoyed.Seraphina stood near the training wall with two other female warriors. Her eyes tracked me across the yard like a target.I didn't look away from her.She did first.Good.We reached the stone steps leading underground."Move," the guard said, pushing me forward."Alek."The voice came from above.Everyone stopped.I looked up.Kieran stood at the second floor window. Looking down. His forearms rested on the ledge, completely relaxed, like he was watching something mildly interesting.The guard, Alek, straightened immediately. "Alpha?""She is free." A pause. "Escort her to the waiting chamber."Alek's hand dropped from my arm instantly.Murmurs broke out across

Whispered conversations that stopped when I turned my head.“The woman who wouldn't kneel.”Good. Keep talking."Enjoying yourself?"The voice came from my left. Female. Sharp as a blade.I turned my head.She was stunning and she knew it. Tall, olive skinned with dark red hair falling loose over her shoulders. Built like a warrior, all muscle and controlled power. She wore the Nightfall Pack uniform but somehow made it look like a statement.Her eyes were gold. Bright and hostile.She stopped directly in front of me, arms crossed,

  • The Luna Who Wouldn't Stay Dead   Chapter 6: Before The Alpha

    Aria's POVThe cell door crashed open before dawn.Two guards. Different ones from last night. Younger, with meaner eyes."Get up."I was already awake.I stood slowly, my face was still tender but the swelling had reduced. Owen's medicine had worked."Move."They grabbed my arms and marched me up the stone stairs, through the compound and into the main building.Morning light cut through narrow windows. It was sharp and cold.The great hall was massive. Dark stone walls. Animal heads mounted like trophies. A long table with warriors seated on both sides, all eating in silence.And at the head of it all, on a chair that was more throne than seat, sat Kieran Steele.He wasn't eating. Just watching the door.Watching me.Like he had been waiting.The guards shoved me forward. I stumbled but caught myself."Kneel before the Alpha!" one barked.I didn't move."Did you not hear me? Kneel!"I kept my eyes on Kieran.He sat perfectly still. Elbows on the armrests. Fingers laced together. His

  • The Luna Who Wouldn't Stay Dead   Chapter 5: The Guard Who Remembered

    Aria's POVThe cold woke me first.Then the pain. I touched my cheek and hissed. It was swollen. Definitely swollen.I sat up slowly, letting my eyes adjust to the darkness.Stone walls. Metal bars. A single torch burning somewhere down the corridor, casting orange shadows that danced and died.The cells.Right.I was a prisoner of the most dangerous Alpha in the territory because I had driven four hours into hostile wolf land and announced myself at the gate like an idiot.Brilliant plan, Aria.I leaned my head back against the cold wall and closed my eyes.Somewhere above me, the compound was quiet. Night had fallen completely. I could hear the distant sound of boots on stone. Guards changing positions.The Moon Goddess had sent me here with magic in my blood and vengeance in my heart.And I was sitting in a dungeon with a split lip.I almost laughed.Almost.Footsteps.Coming closer.I tensed, pulling my knees to my chest. A guard appeared at the bars, holding a torch. He was olde

  • The Luna Who Wouldn't Stay Dead   Chapter 4: The Blood Alpha

    Aria's POV In front of me was a massive gate made of black iron. Wolves were carved into the metal.Beyond it, I could see a compound. Dark buildings and high walls. Armed guards were patrolling.It looked more like a prison than a pack house.Two warriors appeared at the gate. Both massive, heavily armed, their eyes were glowing with wolf light."Turn around," one growled. "Now."I stepped forward. "I need to see Alpha Kieran Steele.""Not happening. Leave.""I'm not leaving until I see him."The second warrior grabbed my arm, yanking me back. "I said turn around!""Let go of me!" I tried to pull free.He tightened his grip, his claws were extending. "You have three seconds to get in your car""What is happening there?"The voice cut through everything like a blade.Deep, cold and absolute.Everyone froze.Alpha Kieran Steele.He was massive. Easily six and a half feet of pure muscle and violence. Black hair, longer on top, partially tied back. A brutal scar ran from his left eyebro

  • The Luna Who Wouldn't Stay Dead   Chapter 3: New Beginning

    Aria's POV I stood in front of my closet, staring at the clothes.Everything here was soft and delicate fabrics. Dresses meant to look elegant and unthreatening.I hated all of it.I pushed past the silk blouses and found what I was looking for in the back. Clothes I had forgotten I owned. Black leather pants. A dark green fitted top and combat boots.It was a perfect clothe for a warrior.I changed quickly and braided my hair tight. When I looked in the mirror, I barely recognized myself.Good.I grabbed my bag and headed for the door, then stopped.Father.My breath paused..The only good thing about being sent back two years is that I got to see him again.I changed direction, walking down the hallway toward his chambers. I stopped outside his door, my hand was shaking as I reached for the handle.In my first life, I had lost him six months before my death. He had just given up. Stopped eating. Stopped fighting. Let himself fade away.I had thought it was because he missed Mom to
