Semua Bab The Alpha king and the Hunt: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Aria’s POV.........I was floating.Not standing, not falling — just suspended in endless light. It rippled around me like water, weightless and silent. My body felt heavy, but not real. My heartbeat was slow, distant, like the sound of a drum from miles away.Then came the voice.“Wake, child of moon and flame.”It was soft, yet it carried through the void like thunder, every syllable wrapping around my mind. I tried to open my eyes — and when I did, the world changed.The light shattered.I was standing on a battlefield.Smoke burned the sky, thick and choking. The earth beneath me was soaked with blood and ash. Fires raged in the distance, casting the night in hues of orange and red. I could smell iron, sweat, and the strange sweetness of something dying.And in the middle of it — she stood.A woman with hair white as snow, cascading down her back like a veil of light. Her armor shimmered faintly with silver markings that pulsed with energy. Her eyes — gods, her eyes — glowed the s

Aria's pov….. The Summercrest pack was in chaos, rogues were everywhere, the pack was in flames I turned back to my human form and rushed to where I smelt the Luna She was hiding with her pups “Come with me” I told her “Who are you___?“ She asked “The Luna of the Royal pack, come with me and you will be saved" She got up immediately and I took her to Damien , who was taking them to a safe place I saw a band of rogues fighting My power hummed In my veins “Time to fuck shit up?“ Selene asked Yes The Summercrest pack was finally quiet. The flames were dying, leaving behind smoldering embers that painted the night sky orange. The cries had faded into silence, and all that remained was the scent of smoke and blood. I stood in the middle of the wreckage, my hands still trembling, my veins humming with the faint echo of Selene’s power. The adrenaline that had carried me through battle was gone now, replaced by exhaustion so heavy it nearly dragged me to

Kaelen’s POVThe morning sun rose over the Royal Pack like a promise.For the first time in what felt like centuries, the light seemed brighter — cleaner. The kingdom had survived the fires, the raids, the curses whispered by the rogues in the dark. And at the center of that victory was one woman — my mate.Aria Blackwood.The Luna fate had hidden from me until the moment I was ready to see her.She was still asleep when I woke. The silver dawn spilled across her hair, turning the white strands into threads of moonlight. Her face was peaceful now, soft, but even in sleep there was a strength in her — the kind that made you want to kneel, not out of duty, but awe.I brushed my fingers lightly across her cheek. She stirred, a faint smile tugging at her lips.“I thought kings didn’t watch people sleep,” she murmured, voice rough with sleep.I chuckled quietly. “Only when they’re beautiful enough to make time stop.”Her eyes opened slowly — molten brown with silver rings flashing in the m

Aria’s POV ……The air was thick with tension the next morning — the kind that made your skin prickle even before you opened your eyes. The entire kingdom seemed to sense what was about to happen. War.I stood before the tall mirror in my chamber, fastening the last clasp of my dark silver armor. The metal gleamed faintly in the morning light filtering through the window. The armor felt heavier than usual today, though maybe it wasn’t the metal — maybe it was the weight of everything that was about to come.“Try not to die out there,” Maya said from behind me, her voice light but her hands trembling slightly as she tied her cloak. Her armor was a little crooked — she’d never been one for neatness — and her dark curls stuck out in every direction.I smiled despite myself. “I’ll try, but no promises. You know how chaos loves me.”She rolled her eyes. “Chaos doesn’t love you, it follows you.”Lyra stepped into the room just then, her own armor a pale gold that glinted like sunlight. Her s

Aria’s POV — The stench of blood and smoke filled the air long before we reached the heart of the rogue village. Every breath I took burned in my throat. The ground beneath my boots was slick with mud — or maybe blood — and the air thrummed with the low growls of the creatures waiting for us in the dark.Kaelen gave the signal. One short nod. No words.We moved.I slipped through the shattered fence first, dagger in hand, my eyes scanning every corner. The rogue settlement was bigger than I expected — wooden shacks piled close together, tattered banners fluttering weakly from their roofs. Somewhere in the center of it all, I could feel it: the heartbeat I’d been searching for. Elias.My brother.Kaelen’s voice echoed softly in my mind through our bond. Two guards by the well. Take them quietly.I nodded once and moved, stepping into the shadows. The first rogue didn’t even see me coming — one clean slash across his throat and he dropped without a sound. The second turned just in time
