How did you know my wolf name? I asked genuinely curious.

It doesn't matter, she stated.

I, Arya Daston , daughter of Halton and Celine rejects you, Kory Raven future Alpha, as your mate and future Luna, she said confidently.

Immediately she finished talking I felt howour bond got broken. It was so painful I had to stagger back almost falling. My chest burned that few tears escaped my eyes. Why isn't she in pain?

Now it's my turn; I Kory Raven, the future Alpha of stone creek woods rejects you, Arya Daston, daughter of Halton and Celine as your mate and future Luna. I managed to say, stuttering to the end. As soon as I finished, the most tremendous pain I have ever felt engulfed me. I didn't understand how she was still standing.

"Light, why doesn't she feel any pain? I asked my wolf, he must have a clue as to why she seems oblivious to the pain.

"I don't know, maybe she's powerful," he replied retreating to the back of my mind.

His last statement made my mind run a thousand miles per second. Arya powerful? How can she be when she doesn't have a wolf, I wondered. I thought to ask her of why she seemed unfazed by the rejection pain but before I could I heard her say;

I am not going to answer any of your questions. I know you are my mate for the past two years, I knew you were going to reject me so I saved you the drama. Leave me alone from now on, she warned her face emotionless yet, she remained even more beautiful when angry.

I was brought back from the thought when her father entered the room. He seemed angry; for what reason, I don't know. He's always angry anyways only concerned about power and money.

"Like your any better than him," light growled.

"Wait light," I was trying to speak to him when Alpha Daston voice broke my train of thoughts.

        She's refusing to be the King's breeder and we're running out of time. Apparently he doesn't want to force himself on someone. What a pussy . Daston lamented.

 I wouldn't talk about the king like that if I were you, you know how he could be cruel as I do, I warned him.

Yeah... yeah... So what do we do? Daston asked 

"We threaten her" christabel suggested.

"How dear? From what I know, Everyone hates and treats her poorly, Daston said. And it's true I don't think she has a single friend here."

"We could threaten her with that filthy old beggar; Adams." Arya would do anything to protect him. Christabel replied."

It wasn't a bad plan, but we couldn't hurt any lack members without a reasonable reason.

"We can't hurt him christabel, " I said.

" We don't have to , just make her believe we would if she doesn't comply." She corrected.

"What if she realizes you're just bluffing," I insisted.

Arya wasn't stupid and wouldn't fall for such a trick .

" She won't realize , trust me , she said confidently.

I saw the smile etched on her face as she said that and it somewhat didn't settle with me.

Alright dear, if you think you can; then go ahead, her father permitted her.

She pecked me on my cheeks before leaving.

" What if Arya finds out, you know all our plan is going to back fire right? She won't budge anymore, I stated 

Well let's wait and see , he said less bothered and that got me thinking is he really going to hurt a pack member for this.

They took me out of the dungeon and led me into a room in the pack house. They gave me a new clothes to change into when the king arrives. I don't think I have had such a good clothing for as long as I could remember, it consist of shirt, skirt, dresses, pants everything you can imagine. They were even some makeup for me to put on, I don't know how but it's here. The sad thing is I'm only given this because I'm about to be exchanged. That is how I see it, at least, I'm giving my virginity . In fact I have never been touched by anybody not even my ex-mate. 

Today is the day the king would arrive . I had to make myself presentable. Thankfully, since I gained my wolf I had been able to heal faster though not as fast as other wolves but I suppose it's because I haven't had my first transformation.

Sometimes I doubted if I had a wolf. It's been two years since she last spoke to me. The only thing that reminded me that she's still present is my healing, still if you look closely at me, you could see the faint bruises all over my arms. As I walked to the pack house I could hear their whispers . They were all the same. For them I was a w***e who sells her body for power. 

Yeah right, like I wanted any of these, they couldn't be more wrong.

I would gladly let them be the King's breeder if they wanted my position that badly.

When I reached the pack house I found my sister at the entrance. A huge smile was plastered on her face. She got what she wanted, I thought. She was finally able to get rid of me but in the worst way possible. I tried to ignore her but she had other plans.

"Arya!" So you decided to come , she uttered smugly.

Arya breathe, remember your doing this for Adam.

"Well I wasn't giving much of a choice right," I replied angrily. I just want to wipe of that smile from her mouth . I still can't get it; I'm her sister yet she treats me like her worst enemy. I'm even weak compared to her.

I would understand if I was bad to her but as a kid I have always admired her not until I got to know how rotten she was deep inside.

I know right, that's what makes it more exciting, she replied. Just as I was about giving her a piece of my mind when Kory approached us.

Our bond is broken now but the fact still remains that he's very handsome.

He's about 6ft tall which is a lot taller than me, as I'm 5'7ft tall. He has these wavy brown hair that buzzed to the side contrasting with his lean muscular physique that gives him the bad boy look , that makes all the females pack members fall for him.

The king has arrived and everyone prepare to welcome your majesty he announced, and Arya behave yourself he adds, his tone low yet commanding.

  • The hidden past of my Alpha king and Me   CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT: Something like fear

    By the time Arya reached her chambers, the morning light had already begun to swell across the glass panes. The world outside glimmered—rosy gold mist curling around the far gardens, the faint trill of the aviary—but none of it felt real. Not after that moment in his office. Not after those words.Be careful who you trust.They replayed in her head with every breath. They didn’t sound like advice. They sounded like confession.She closed the door softly behind her, her back pressing against the carved wood as if to steady herself against the weight of thoughts that had no shape yet but threatened to swallow her whole.Her eyes drifted toward the small desk by the window. The letter lay there, the same one she had hidden away the previous night. The parchment still hummed faintly—soft, muted, alive in some way that defied reason. Even when untouched, it seemed to pulse faintly, as though aware of her.And now, her father had it too. Or another like it.She cro

  • The hidden past of my Alpha king and Me   CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN: The veil of the morning

    The night stretched long in the ice wood pack, heavy with unspoken things. Candles burned low in their sconces, throwing gold over the marble floors and the veined tapestries that bore the sigil of my father’s line — the crescent wolf beneath the red crown. It was beautiful, regal, and somehow… wrong.I walked through the corridors with my cloak drawn close, the echo of my boots soft against the stone. Behind me, Bobby followed at a respectful distance. He said nothing, but i felt his presence like a blade still sheathed — reliable, ready, but always assessing.I paused before the great door of the council library — a vault of secrets older than most of the pack itself. The guards were gone. I had made sure of it; a whispered command from the Alpha king mate, was enough to buy me a few hours of solitude.I pressed my palm to the carved wolf emblem. The door sighed open.“Keep watch,” I muttered.Bobby nodded once. “If I hear anything, I’ll make a distraction.”

  • The hidden past of my Alpha king and Me   CHAPTER FIFTY SIX: The feather and fame

    The night stretched long and thin around in icewood. Outside, the wind combed through the frost-heavy pines, carrying whispers that could have been breath — or memory.The feather lay before me on the desk, glimmering faintly under the candlelight.Its veins pulsed with a color I couldn’t name, neither violet nor silver, but something between the two — something alive.Bobby had refused to leave, posted by the door like a sentinel carved from impatience and loyalty. Every few moments, he would mutter something under his breath — a joke to fill the silence, but the words always died before they left his mouth.“This thing gives me the creeps,” he finally said, glancing over. “It’s… humming.”“It’s resonating,” I corrected quietly, not looking away.“Right. Resonating. Much less creepy,” Bobby muttered.I smiled faintly, but my attention never wavered from the letter.The parchment lay flat, its strange runes faintly glowing in the feather’s proximity.

    Then the room was empty again. The wards sealed. The candle flickered once — then went out.Kaid stood there in the dark, his breath slow, his mind burning.He could still hear Adam's last words echoing in his skull, heavy as iron:The thing that hunts her wears the shape of what she loves most.He clenched his fists.No more hesitation.No more waiting.When dawn fully broke, the Alpha of Red moon would begin to move his pieces.----------------------------------------------Kaid povI couldn't sleep throughout the night, Dark and Ravage kept stirring my emotions. As soon as first light of dawn bled through the frost-tinted windows of Red moon pack, I stood at the northern terrace, cloak brushing the cold stone, eyes fixed on the horizon where the forests stretched like a sleeping beast.Adams words hadn’t left me.The echoes of his words rang deep in my pulse. Something beneath your land. He had said.I could still feel that hum — fai

  • The hidden past of my Alpha king and Me   CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR: The blood remembers

    Third person pov The room was silent but for the wind. A candle burned low beside Kaid’s desk, its flame steady — unnervingly steady — as though even the air itself dared not stir in the Alpha’s presence.Kaid sat half turned toward the hearth, the faint glow of embers drawing a bronze edge along his jaw. The wound across his shoulder, though half healed, pulsed in rhythm with his heartbeat — a reminder of the ambush, the blood, the near-death he’d met at the border. But that wasn’t what kept him awake.He felt it before it happened.A shift — small, deliberate, like the air folding in on itself.The wards he had woven into the chamber’s bones — crafted with silver dust, iron binding, and the quiet muttering of Icewood incantations — shivered. Not broke. Not burned. Simply... parted.He rose, slowly.The candle’s flame flared once, then steadied again.From the far corner of the room, the shadows lengthened — a ripple across the wall that deepened, d

    My heart raced . Yet I pressed my fingers along the seam until i felt the slight give of a latch, hidden just beneath the wood grain. It opened with a soft, reluctant click.Inside lay a handful of sealed envelopes. Most bore my father’s crest — the familiar silver wolf of their bloodline. But one was different.It was bound in black wax, the seal unmarked except for a single vertical line — simple, clean, and unnerving. The parchment itself was darker, almost gray, as if time had already touched it though it looked newly made.It piqued my interest When i lifted it, the faintest pulse traveled through my fingertips — a thrum like the echo of a heartbeat, faint but undeniably there.I froze. My wolf hawled in recognition to the seal.I gasped quickly withdrawing my hands from it. It stopped the moment I withdrew my hand, leaving only silence.I stared at it for a long time, my pulse matching its ghost rhythm. Then, carefully, i broke the seal.The
