The Fight2

Aries’ POV The moment Phillip called the match, Lisa attacked. She was fast—calculated, aggressive. A fighter trained in this pack’s combat style, skilled in overpowering her opponents before they even had a chance to react. But Rexxona… She didn’t get overwhelmed. She didn’t panic. She moved. Every dodge, every shift in her stance—it was fluid, controlled. Effortless. Like she’d done this a thousand times before. Lisa snarled in frustration as her flurry of punches failed to connect. Adjusting her stance, she launched a spinning kick toward Rexxona’s ribs—a powerful move, one that should have landed. Instead, Rexxona twisted at the last second, letting the attack graze past her. In a seamless motion, she caught Lisa’s extended leg and used her own momentum against her, forcing her off balance. Lisa stumbled. The crowd murmured in shock. Lisa never stumbled. Phillip’s expression hardened, but he remained silent, watching. Lisa growled, her face twisting with frustration.

The calm before the storm

The fight hadn’t gone exactly as I expected. Lisa was skilled—I had predicted that much—but toward the end, if Aries hadn’t stepped in, I had no idea how things would have played out. There was a moment, just before he called it, where I could feel something shifting in Lisa, like she was about to lose control. So much for being cool and composed. As I made my way toward Rose, I caught Lisa and Phillip giving me a look. I was tempted to stick my tongue out or flip them off, but I controlled myself. Lisa needed time to heal—physically and emotionally. Humiliation wasn’t something she was used to. Still, I couldn’t help but chuckle at my own thoughts. The moment I reached Rose, she practically bounced in excitement. "How did you learn to fight like that?! You looked so cool!" I shrugged, trying to downplay it. "I trained a bit with my Ma. I’m not really that good, I just got lucky." Rose scoffed. "Oh, please. No need to be humble. I'm so happy you won. Maybe now Lisa will finally

unleashed

A deafening series of cracks tore through the air. My body moved before my mind caught up. Lily grabbed Rose, yanking her toward a tree. Julian shoved Aries out of the open space, both moving with trained speed. My pulse thundered in my ears. I barely had time to react before a bullet whizzed past, embedding itself in the bark beside me. The scent of silver flooded my nose. Hunters. More shots. A strangled grunt somewhere in the distance. Someone hit the ground. The pack was under attack. My mind was racing, thoughts tangled and frantic. I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t think. Aries’ voice cut through the chaos, grounding me. "Lily, get Rose and Rexxona inside the pack house! Julian and I will take care of the hunters out here!" "Yes, Alpha!" came Lily’s curt reply. Before I could process anything else, Aries and Julian burst from their cover. The gunfire had slowed—hunters reloading. They took advantage of it. Aries shifted mid-run, his body morphing into a massive,

Timing

The moment gunshots rang out, instinct took over. Julian and I moved as one, ducking behind trees for cover while making sure the girls were safe. "Alpha, I can smell silver. It's definitely hunters," Julian said, his usual playful tone replaced with cold seriousness. "I know." My jaw clenched. Why today? The timing was too convenient, but there was no time to dwell on it now. We needed control over the situation. Judging by the gunfire, they’d be running low on bullets soon. That was our opening. As expected, the shots slowed, hesitation seeping into their attack. "Lily, get Rose and Rexxona to the pack house!" I barked. "Julian and I will handle the hunters." The moment Lily confirmed, Julian and I broke from cover, shifting mid-sprint. My wolf surged forward, muscles stretching, bones shifting seamlessly into form. Nobody attacked my pack and got away with it. Not again. We tore through the hunters with ease. Blood splattered the ground as claws ripped through flesh, fan

Waking up

The moment my eyes snapped open, I became instantly aware of my surroundings. A sterile white room, bright lights, and— Aries. Sitting beside me. His intense gaze sent a shiver through me. I hadn’t expected him to be here. Maybe Rose, but not the Alpha himself. The thought of Rose sent a jolt through me, and suddenly, everything from earlier came rushing back—the attack, the hunters, the bullet, the power. I had revealed myself. Panic gripped my chest. What if Rose told everyone? If she had, I was in serious danger. I didn’t know how this pack would react, but after what happened at Blue Crescent, I doubted it would be much different. My breathing quickened. My heart pounded. I was spiraling— Until a firm, warm hand gripped my shoulder. "Rexxona, are you okay?" Aries’ deep voice cut through the noise in my head. I blinked rapidly, suddenly aware that he had been calling my name. He was looking at me with concern, brows slightly furrowed. I swallowed hard, forcing myself t

Catching Up

I was out of the hospital in less than 24 hours, but it didn’t feel like a victory. It was almost time to face the one thing I dreaded the most— Rose. Judging by the past few hours, I could tell she hadn’t told anyone about what she saw. When Julian and Lily came to visit, neither of them acted differently toward me. If they knew, I was sure their expressions, their energy, would have changed. Jillian was still his goofy self, cracking jokes and making me laugh. And for the first time, I realized something—I had never really had relationships like this before. Friends. People who actually cared about me, who made me laugh without expecting something in return. I wasn’t sure how to handle it. But I wanted to try. "We’re hereee!" Julian called, pulling me out of my thoughts as he and Lily walked in. No Rose. My heart sank. I wasn’t sure what I had expected. She had been shocked—anyone would be. But a part of me had hoped she’d be here anyway. "How are you feeling, dearie?" Li

A truth shared

The moment Julian mentioned the Blue Crescent Pack, my world tilted. I thought I was done with them. For good, this time. But now, they were back. Or rather, I was being dragged back into their world. At the thought of Ron, my heart clenched. The pull was gone—I was sure of that. Whatever weak bond had once existed between us had dulled into nothingness. But the hatred? That still burned strong. My mind spiraled into all the possible scenarios, searching for a way out. Aries would be the one going there. Probably Julian, Lily, and the pack elders too. Not me. I clung to that thought. There was no reason for me to be involved. I’ll be fine. I won’t have to see them. I forced myself to believe it. And just like that, I snapped out of my head and realized— Julian was staring at me. "What now, Rex?" he sighed. "You zoned out for dayssss." I rolled my eyes. "Oh please, it wasn’t even a minute. Just a passing thought." "Mmhmm." He didn’t look convinced, but he let it slide.

Twist of fate

The past few days had passed in a blur.I was finally settling in.For the first time in forever, I had people I could call friends. Lily. Julian. Rose.It was something I had always craved.But lately, I found myself craving something else.Or rather… someone.Aries.I hadn’t seen him in days, and it was annoying how much I felt his absence.Why do I even care?I pushed the thought away, blaming it on the stress of trying to figure out my powers with Rose.Since I told her the truth, she had been completely on board with helping me.But so far, we had made zero progress.The book was still unreadable. Neither of us could decipher the language. The only thing we did notice was a recurring symbol—a green crest with a massive wolf.A mystery on top of a mystery.Controlling my powers?Still impossible.So, in summary, we had gotten nowhere."Rose!!" I yelled, barging into her room without hesitation.At this point, we were close enough that knocking felt unnecessary.She stepped out of

Sudden change

The past few days had been a blur. Between repairing the pack after the attack and preparing for the upcoming Alpha meeting, I barely had time to breathe. Julian and the others helped, but as Alpha, everything ultimately fell on me. Inspections. Decisions. Approvals. The usual duties of an Alpha. So, when I finally made my way back to my office after another long day, I wasn’t expecting to find Julian waiting at the door. I sighed. "What do you want, Julian?" Ignoring my tone, he grinned and strolled inside, making himself comfortable on the couch. "Well, Alpha, it’s been hard to see you when it’s not about work, so I figured I’d come hang out." I scoffed, shaking my head. Deep down, though, I was grateful for him. He had always been the one to keep me sane. "Well," he continued, "I was hanging out with Rex, but she ditched me for Rose today. Those two have been acting suspicious lately—always stuck together at the hip." He laughed. That’s when I noticed it. Her scent.

Plans falling apart

The moment Aries announced the venue change, I felt my entire shield shatter. For weeks, I had convinced myself that I was done with that part of my life—that I would never have to face him again. But now, he was coming here. Ron was coming here. Panic immediately set in. A million scenarios flashed through my mind, each worse than the last. "Rex, breathe!" My wolf, Ria, tried to calm me, but I was already too far gone. I felt Aries’ gaze on me, but I couldn't focus. The cheers of the pack faded into muffled sounds, and suddenly, the world spun. I instinctively reached out for Julian—he had been right beside me moments ago—but my hand grasped at nothing. "Damn—" The words barely left my lips before my legs gave out beneath me. For the second time in less than a week, I was about to collapse in front of the entire pack. I braced myself for the impact, shutting my eyes as I waited for the pain. But it never came. Instead, a strong grip wrapped around my waist, holding me
