Semua Bab Scarlet Moon: The Marked Heir.: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The night was still, and the forest loomed above us like a living creature, black and cold. Those piercing golden eyes were gone.My father's palm clutched mine tightly, pulling me through the shadows as the Silverfang pack's domain faded behind us.The moon above glinted silver, mocking me with its tranquility as all I knew and trusted lay in ashes.I didn't speak because I didn't want to. Words had failed me once, betraying me in front of the pack, Kael, and Lyra. I would never give them that power again.Finally, he came to a halt; a black SUV waited at the boundary of the land, its shiny surface reflecting the moonlight. The engine remained silent, but danger clung to it like a fragrance.My father responded, "Get in." His voice was low, harsh, and devoid of warmth.I climbed inside, trembling not from cold but from humiliation, fury, and rage. My father got into the driver's seat without saying anything further, and the quiet between us was as oppressive as the woodland air.Fina

"Hand me your phone." The command was not loud, and he didn't need it to be. It carried a weight that tightened my chest as if invisible chains were coiled around me.I looked at him, my fingers tightening around the device in my pocket. "What… why?""Are you questioning me, Arian?" He raised a brow, his expression icy.The way he said my name wasn't affectionate or neutral. It was venom-laced with control, and my stomach knotted. I wanted to resist, but a part of me, still caged by our bond, leaned toward obedience."I just…" I swallowed hard, my throat dry. "It's my phone; you can't just…""I can," he said smoothly, tilting his head and flashing his eyes with something other than cruelty and amusement. "And I will. If you want this bond broken, if you want me gone from your life, then you'll do exactly as I say."His words clawed at me; I wanted to scream at him, throw the bond in his face, and ask why the moon goddess would tie me to someone like him. I thought she would understand

“How did you find out my room and my name?” I lifted my brows with intention, lowering my voice to add a touch of mystery and keep any doubts at bay. Rowan shrugged his shoulder and sent the dagger flying in my direction.“Fuck…” I shouted, tumbling off the bed, and luckily, it missed me, instead landing against the wall. I let out an exasperated sigh, realizing it would soon make a dent in it. I glanced at him, a playful smirk lingering on his lips.“What’s wrong with you?”The other boy gasped, as if I had just done something truly shocking. Out of nowhere, he burst into my room and hurled his knife right at me! It doesn't matter to me if he was the Alpha Emperor, the ruler of the entire world.I really hope to be treated with respect during my stay here.“You definitely showed some guts, new boy.” Rowan chuckled, his golden eyes shining even brighter. It sparked a flame. My face started to throb once more, the spot where his claws had struck now marked by a scar. I hope it heals; I

Aria's POV Just as I was about to scream, a hand clamped over my mouth, pressing me against the wall while the door slammed shut behind us. “Quiet now, they can hear everything. t’s best if you stay quiet." I turned to face the boy who had pulled me inside; it was the same guy I had defended when Rowan was at the height of beating him up. He gazed into my eyes, his round glasses sitting just right on his face. He gradually pulled his hand away from my lips, his eyes quickly flicking to the door. After a few moments of silence, he swung the door open and took another look. He turned to me and asked, “What did you do?” The tone emerged with a hint of worry, resembling an adult gently reprimanding a young pup. I let out a sigh and cleared my throat, putting in all my effort to make my voice sound deeper. Perhaps over time, I’ll adapt to it, without needing to put in much effort. “What?” He quickly held out his phone for me to see. The video that Rowan had captured of me was r

Arian’s POVI felt my blood turn icy. I pulled my hat closer to my face. And then a group of girls walked in. Their eyes darted around the room, like a predator looking for prey. Eloise, their crew leader, stood in front; her eyes glowed gold before returning to normal."The new boy…" she mouthed, and the others giggled in anticipation. I felt my heart racing against my chest. Those crew members were sensitive, with a high ability to sense things. I quickly returned to the vending machine, inserted another coin, and a pack of chewing gum slid out."Hello everyone," said Eloise, standing on a table. Her voice was sharp and authoritative. She was one of the academy's strongest she-wolves, and from what I've heard, no other girls had been able to defeat her in training or combat. "Seeing that big poster on the wall, with the pathetic face of that new boy." She chuckled and looked at one of her crew members. "Please guys, I mean the guys. Can you stay behind or seek anyone you believe t
