All Chapters of Five Alphas, One Destiny: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Rian’s POV.The rogues drew their arrows up, all three of them pointing straight at my chest. Their arms were steady and their stances widened for balance. They were close enough that I could see the tension in their fingers as they pulled their bowstrings tighter. My throat tightened. My knees went weak. A cold rush shot through my limbs. I knew this was the end. I knew it with a certainty that made my entire body seize. Fear rippled through me as I watched the man on my left pull the arrow. I let out a sharp shriek, unable to stop it. The thoughts of the arrows hitting my heart or my throat made me shiver. I shifted backward but still felt naked with no cover of weapon. Dear moon goddess, please save me. If you save me, I promise to take my fighting training seriously. I opened one of my eyes, preparing for impact. But the arrows never released.A soft hiss cut through the clearing. Something shot past my face so quickly that a strand of my hair lifted with the breeze. An arro

ARIA’S POVI wrapped my arms around myself, but the cold still slipped through, sharp as needles. It crept under my clothes and settled deep in my bones, a slow ache that refused to ease no matter how tightly I curled into my own body. My breath rose in thin, trembling clouds, fading into the air as quickly as they appeared.My stomach twisted again, another hollow, dragging pang that felt like something clawing at me from the inside. Like a pure curse, the stomach rumbled in demand for some food. I stood up, ready to forage for some food. My hands shook, not just from the cold, but from the weakness settling into my limbs, turning them heavy and unresponsive.I tried to swallow, but my throat was dry. My lips were cracked. Every step I took felt slower than the last, almost like my body was fighting against me, trying to pull me down into the earth.“One… two… three…” I counted the numbers to keep me sane. The world around me blurred at the edges, my vision dimming with each shiver

Aria’s POVFor a whole day, I did nothing but sleep. The exhaustion of the past ordeal finally caught up with me, dragging me into a sleep so deep that even the faintest sound of the Omegas roaming about failed to rouse me. I lay curled on the bed, muscles aching, limbs heavy, and my stomach empty, as though every nerve in my body had been rewired to simply rest. My hair stuck to my forehead, damp with sweat from the fever that had crept over me while I slept. Time felt suspended, the minutes bleeding into hours without distinction. Even when I stirred, it was only slightly, shifting to a new position before settling back into the deep, unyielding haze of sleep.When I finally opened my eyes, it was the next day. The sunlight had shifted across the room, slipping through the cracks of the curtains in thin, warm lines. My stomach growled immediately, a sharp reminder that my body had been left empty for too long. I shifted on the bed, trying to find energy in my limbs, but the weaknes

Aria’s POVI felt lost as I made my way to Evren’s place, the corridors of the mansion stretching endlessly before me. My body still carried the exhaustion from training, from hunger, from all the chaos of the past days. My thoughts were scattered, swirling in a storm I could not calm. The memory of Darius’ blank stare lingered, the kiss in the training room replaying in my mind despite my efforts to push it aside. My chest ached with more than just fatigue.I reached Evren’s door, my hand hovering briefly over the handle. I took a deep breath and opened it, stepping inside. He was waiting, as he always seemed to be, calm and composed, yet there was an intensity in his gaze that immediately drew me in. The room was warm, lit softly by lanterns that cast a gentle glow across the walls. My stomach twisted again, a mix of nerves and anticipation.“Aria,” he said, his voice low and steady, “come here.”I moved toward him, my steps unsteady but purposeful. When I reached him, he took my h

Aria’s POVI was still catching my breath when the door to the training room creaked open. The sound echoed through the space, sharp and unwelcome. Darius and I turned at the same time, our connection snapping like a fragile thread pulled too tight. A tall warrior stepped in, dressed in battle gear, the crest of Darius’s division glinting faintly on his chest.“Alpha Darius.” The warrior said with a stiff bow of his head. He raised his head a fracture of second later, waiting for the command from his commander. Darius’s expression shuttered instantly. Whatever softening I thought I had seen earlier vanished. His jaw tightened, his posture straightened, and he stepped away from me with a calmness that felt too practiced.“What is it,” Darius asked. He didn’t spare me any more glance as he reached over to where the warrior stood. The warrior kept his head lowered when Darius got to him. “You are needed in the council room.”Darius nodded once, all business now. He looked at me briefly
