Ariana's POV

Sarah's claws raked across my ribs before I could even process that she'd moved.

Pain exploded through my side, hot and sharp. I stumbled backward, my hand instinctively going to the wound. Sticky warm bood seeped between my fingers.

"First blood to me," Sarah said with satisfaction. "Want to give up now? Save yourself some pain?"

I shook my head, raising my fists again even though they were trembling. "No."

"Today will be your funeral then."

She came at me again, faster this time

    I could hear her heartbeat, steady and confident. Could smell her certainty that I couldn't hurt her.I threw a punch at her ribs, using the technique she'd taught me. Which she blocked it easily."Again and more faster."I punched again. And she blocked again."Come on, Ariana. I've seen you move faster than this. Use whatever you used in our fight."She wanted to see the enhanced speed. Wanted to know if I could access that state again.I threw another punch, this time letting my heightened senses guide the movement. The strike was faster, more precise, but still human-level. Still within normal parameters.Sarah blocked it, but her eyes narrowed. "There. That was better. But you're holding back.""I don't know what you mean.""Yes, you do." She moved closer. "In our fight, your eyes turned black and you moved faster than any human I've ever seen. You dodged a killing blow that should have been impossible to avoid. So either you can access that power on command or you can't. Which i

  • The twin Alpha and the Wolfless one    Chapter 46

    Ariana's POVLife at the pack house fell into a strange new rhythm over the next week.I was released from the hospital after two more days of observation. Marcus wanted to keep me longer, but I couldn't stand being confined to that room anymore. Kade helped me move back to my room, hovering protectively while I settled in. Kane kept his distance but I'd catch him watching me sometimes, his expression unreadable.The pack's attitude toward me had shifted slightly after the fight. They still didn't accept me, but there was less open contempt now. I'd challenged one of their own and survived. That meant something, even if they didn't know what.What they didn't know was that something from the fight had stayed with me.The heightened senses.They'd first appeared when my eyes turned black during Sarah's final strike. I'd assumed it was temporary. A one-time thing triggered by extreme stress.But it wasn't.The senses remained. Muted compared to that moment in the ring, but still there

    "Follower?" The word felt strange. "I'm not a leader. I'm barely surviving day to day.""You survived an execution. You survived me." Sarah's voice was intense. "And you did it without a wolf, without pack support. If that's not strength, I don't know what is.""That's just survival instinct.""No," Sarah said firmly. "That's power. Raw, undeniable power. You just don't see it yet." She paused. "But I do. And I think others will too, once they stop being afraid long enough to really look."I didn't know what to say. This was Sarah, who'd called me Wolfless with contempt. Who'd beaten me while the crowd laughed. Who'd tried to kill me with that final strike.And now she was on her knees, asking to follow me."Why should I trust you?" I asked. "How do I know this isn't some trick Elena put you up to? Get close to me, gain my trust, then finish what you started?""You don't," Sarah admitted. "You can't know for sure. All I can do is prove it through my actions." She met my eyes. "I broug

    Ariana's POVSarah suddenly burst into laughter.The sound was unexpected enough that both Kane and I froze. She is laughing like she'd told a joke and we'd missed the punchline."Your faces," she managed between laughs, wiping tears from her eyes. "You actually thought—" She dissolved into laughter again.Kane's expression darkened. "This isn't funny. You came in here with a weapon—""For this," Sarah said, stepping aside from the doorway.A nurse entered, pushing a small cart laden with cut fruit, food containers, and what looked like meal prep supplies. She gave Sarah a nervous look before setting everything on the table beside my bed."Thank you, Jenny," Sarah said to the nurse, who nodded and hurried out as quickly as possible.Sarah held up the knife, which I could now see was just a standard paring knife. "For cutting fruit. Marcus said you've been having trouble eating solid food, so I thought fresh fruit might be easier. The knife is for preparing it." She set it down on the

    Silence fell over the room. Kade held my hand, his thumb rubbing circles on my skin. Kane stayed by the door, keeping his distance."The whole pack is talking about you," Kade said finally. "I got lucky.""That wasn't luck," Kane said. "Your eyes turned completely black. Then you moved faster than any human should be able to move. That's not luck, Ariana. That's something else.""I don't know what it was," I said honestly. "It just... happened.""Morgana said you had a wolf," Kade said carefully. "That she was just dormant, waiting. Maybe this was her. Maybe she's starting to wake."Maybe. But if my wolf was waking, why had I spent three days trapped in that void? Why had I felt those ancient watchers? Why had that black substance consumed me?Something about what happened didn't feel like a wolf awakening. But I couldn't explain that to them. Not when I couldn't even fully remember it myself."You should rest," Kade said, squeezing my hand. "We can talk about all this later.""Actu

  • The twin Alpha and the Wolfless one    Chapter 42

    Ariana's POVI woke up gasping.My lungs burned as I dragged in air, my chest heaving like I'd been drowning. My hands clawed at nothing, grasping desperately for something solid, something real, something to prove I was still here."Easy, easy," a familiar voice said. That should be Marcus.His hands pressed gently on my shoulders, keeping me from thrashing. "You're okay, Ariana. You're safe. You're in the hospital."Hospital. The word filtered through my panic slowly. I blinked, trying to focus, trying to make sense of where I was.White ceiling. Fluorescent lights. The steady beep of monitors. Medical equipment surrounding my bed.Not the void. "There you go," Marcus said, his voice soothing. "Just breathe. In and out. You're okay."I focused on breathing. In through my nose. Out through my mouth. Each breath was my ribs protested with sharp stabs that said they were broken or at least badly bruised.But I could breathe. I could move my hands, my arms. I could feel the hospital be

    Ariana's POVMorning came too quickly.I hadn't slept despite the medication Marcus kept pumping into my IV. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Elena's voice: 'Execution will pass with a strong majority.'The twins had stayed with me through the night, taking turns holding my hand, their presence

    *Ariana sat across from them in the hotel room, the contract between them on the table. She looked small and afraid, but determined.**"There's something I need to tell you before we do this," she said. "Something that might change your mind about the contract."**"We're listening," Kade said.**Sh

    Kade found her by scent.He'd been running patrol along the eastern border, his mind still churning over Kane's absence and Ariana's increasingly fragile health, when the smell of blood hit him. Sweet copper mixed with her scent, but they are Fading.His wolf took over before conscious thought cou

    What kind of incidents?" Kane asked, his voice wary.Elena opened the folder with deliberate slowness, clearly savoring the moment. "Children getting severely sick. There are three hospitalizations in the past month alone, and they are all children who live within a block of that store. Even some o
