Follow Ariana as she steps into the chaos, battling stubborn Alphas, unhinged pack politics, and her own twisted destiny. Can she turn heartbreak into power and rewrite her own happily ever after?

Can this boy not grasp the concept of knocking?“Arianna is gone,” he blurted out, almost tripping over his words. Seriously, a mind link exists for a reason.“And?” I replied, my tone as flat as the expression on my face. I wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction of a reaction.“And? She could be in danger!” His voice carried a hint of desperation, though I couldn’t quite figure out why he cared so much.“The deal’s off with her, so why should I care?” I said, setting the book I’d been deeply engrossed in on my desk.“You can’t be serious, Aiden,” he protested.Oh, but I was.“We can’t just leave her when she needs us most. She’s going through something right now, and—”“Do you like her?” I interrupted, leaning back in my chair. Damien was a soft-hearted guy, sure, but this level of concern? Suspicious.“W…what?” He scoffed, glaring at me like I’d just insulted his entire bloodline.“What? You’re ac
“And that’s Cynthia…” Damien hesitated, his eyes flicking to me, testing the waters. “…the replacement Luna.”Great. Another lovely reminder of how replaceable I am. Honestly, they could draft an entire squad of Lunas if they wanted. It wouldn’t make a difference. “She even looks like Daphney,” he added, fishing for a reaction, but I was all out of those. After last night, I’d gone mute—shut down.I think he noticed that the version of me who usually fawns over him wasn’t in attendance. And he didn’t like it one bit.He led me down the corridor, clearing his throat like he was going to say something important. “So… about the kiss.” He looked at me, brow raised. “You’re going to stay mute if I ask about it?”The memory of it broke through the fog, cracking me open for a second—but I forced it back down. I wasn’t letting it get to me. Not now. “Where have you been?” I countered, watching him shift from foot to foot, a slight flush coloring his cheeks.“Finally, she speaks…” he joked, bu
Warning: This chapter contains a depiction of violence It's been days since Kehlani asked me to get close to Aiden, infiltrate his circle, and report back to her. What a joke. She must be blind to the ice wall Aiden has erected between us. It's for Shannon, she says. Honestly? I couldn't care less. Not to mention the blackmail she's threatening to spill the beans about Damien. Sure, I'd play along for now to shut her up, but I planned to ignore her and get some well-deserved sleep tonight. *"Remember that time you got detention and decided to skip?" asked Daphney, her laughter rising like a carbonated drink.* *"Yeah! And when they wanted to suspend me, I mountain-ashed the whole school!" I hooted, clinking my cup against hers. We laughed until it left me a little breathless.* *Then, there was silence as if an uninvited guest had entered* *"You know you're really lucky, right?" she said, and I looked at her, puzzled* *"What are you talking about?"* *she starts talking but
I don't know how, but I woke up with a smile on my face. My fingers trailed over my lips, and the memory of Damien's kiss still felt fresh. Euphoria washed over me, yet anxiety always lingered, a storm cloud threatening to burst at any time. Every time I closed my eyes, his breath against my skin and his cinnamon scent enveloped me as if he were right there. Daydreaming?" Kehlani's voice brought me out of my reverie, and I beamed like a moron. "Yeah," I answered, blissfully oblivious to the fact that it was about to shatter. Wait! My eyes flew open, and I sat up jack-knifing into a sitting position, and stared at Kehlani lounging at the foot of my bed. "W-what are you doing here?" I stuttered, trying to fight a hint of panic rising in my voice. "Aren't you going to school?" She smiled, enjoying my surprise. "What are you doing here?" I asked again and with more firmness this time. "Oh, chill out, girl. It's not like you're new to trespassers," she said smirking as she got up.
That guidance counselor was just really nice," I said to Damien as we strolled towards the class, still reeling from our earlier chat. "Yeah? You're the Luna. What else would you expect?" He chuckled, and I playfully pushed at him. "Well. you know how it is," I said, flashing a smile as we entered the bustling lecture hall. Just then, a wave of nostalgia washed over me. I had always thought my first day at college would be me walking in with Mia and Daphney, the sound of our laughs reverberating off the walls. But right now, I couldn't get rid of the dead ache in my chest. "Hey, what's wrong?" Damien nudged me again, concern etched across his face. If I couldn't be with my two best friends, I supposed Damien would have to do as a substitute was the silent thought, followed by a flicker of hope. Thank God we weren't sharing a mind-link; otherwise, he'd probably be running for the hills. "N-nothing. I just thought my first day would be with Mia and Daphney," I admitted, my smile f
I had to bite the inside of my cheek hard to stop myself from launching at Aiden right here, right now. Two days. Two whole days stuck in the Med Bay because Shannon thought breaking my arm was a fun way to "train." And in all that time, not one word from the Alpha sitting in front of me. "If you wouldn't mind, I have work to do," he said, barely looking up as he tapped a stack of files into place like we were talking about the weather and not the fact that his pack had attacked me. "Really? I was attacked by your pack, and that's your response?" My voice broke, but I wasn't going to cry. Not for him. He shrugged like it was the most normal thing in the world. "Worse things have happened during training. It toughens you up." "T-toughens me up?" I could hardly believe what I was hearing. "Shannon broke my arm." "So?" His tone was so casual, so indifferent as if we were talking about a paper cut and not the fact that I'd spent the last two days with a shattered bone. And there i
Warning: This chapter has violence and contains violent language… reader discretion is advised. Weeks had gone by since the attack, the dust had settled, yet the wounds were still fresh. The Novera Alpha had narrowly managed to escape but left a trail of death and chaos in his wake. His minions weren't so lucky; not one survived. Zia Pack was locked down-nobody in, nobody out. For me, that meant I wasn't going home anytime soon. The funeral for the Luna was a somber, quiet affair-more than a little unnerving. Aiden didn't shed a tear-not one. His face was a mask of stone, cold enough to send shivers through the very core of my werewolf nature. He scared me. Since that day, Aiden had shut me out completely. We attended pack meetings together, but he never spoke a word with me. Made speeches, did his job, then buried himself in work. Sit at the huge dining table, eat, and then leave with no words directed to me, as if I didn't exist. His silence started to wear on me. Kehlani wasn't
The sun partially blinded me as I opened my eyes, but I didn’t mind. I dreamt of Damien. He walked in wearing the cutest suit I had ever seen, and I wore the whitest, biggest gown in existence. We were on our way to the priest, in love, ready to marry. Except... his brother was the priest. Weird. This crush is getting unhealthy. I should tell someone. Tell Damien, my wolf suggested, making me scoff as I got out of bed. As if. When I find my mate, this nonsense will die down. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself. But it’s okay to bask in this happiness, my wolf whispered. *You’re—* My door suddenly swung open, and Kehlani burst in. "Hey! Good morning!" she sang as she dashed in, reminding me of Inana and her utter disregard for privacy. "Morning," I muttered, rubbing my eyes. "Hope you had a good night! The Luna said I should show you around the pack today," Kehlani chirped, walking towards my closet and pulling out a hoodie. "Right, because seeing the pack with a h
It's been a week since my mother shipped me off to Zia's pack, and honestly? The vibe around here was a straight-up funeral. Seriously, everyone looked like they were auditioning for the role of "Mourning Wolf." In the gigantic dining room, the atmosphere was thicker than the food itself, and silence reigned like an unwelcome guest. The spread looked divine, but I couldn't touch it. Because, for two reasons: first, Damien was sitting right beside me—the Damien, the hot exchange student— Damien. A guy like him made me feel like a walking disaster. I mean, I'd party like a rebel on Saturday night, but when it came to Damien freaking Darhk? I turned into a blushing fool. This was Daphney's pack, her house, her food. So yeah, my mother had twisted my arm into pretending to be Luna. Great, right? I hated it. There I was staring at my plate like it held the secrets of the universe while the clinking of cutlery echoed like a horror movie soundtrack. "Ariana?" The Luna's voice cut throu
Once upon a time, there lived an Alpha who found his Mate and they happily lived ever after. Well, not even close. A series of mishaps followed as if scripted for a tragicomedy. The ceiling of my room was peculiar, in texture. Old oak wood, neither visibly aged nor new neither dry nor damp, just weird. I did my usual ritual and stared at it for a good twenty minutes, contemplating the choices that led me to this very moment. My door swung open abruptly, and I instinctively flinched. Of course, it was my sister Inana. Sisters, right? "What are you still doing in bed, Ari?" I could feel the old crinkle above her eyes, just like Mother's. "Go away," I muttered, throwing a pillow vaguely in her direction. I didn't need this. Perhaps silence would work? The bed suddenly canted rightward, and before I had a chance to intervene, my face was set hard onto the floor. Perhaps staring at the ceiling was more appealing than inspecting the rug up close. "Up and at 'em," Inana ordered in
