Aria’s POVThe air inside the packhouse buzzed with urgency. Shouts rang out lively and loud, footsteps hurried across the floorboards, and the playful yelps of pups echoed playfully throughout. Wisps of smoke curled gently through the windows, creating a distant but noticeable scent that made the eyes water.“Move them out!” I shouted, ushering a small group of frightened omegas toward the cellar doors. “Take the pups to the tunnels beneath the eastern wing. Don’t stop for anything!”A young omega clutched two small children to her chest, her eyes wide with fear. “Luna, what about you?”“I’ll follow once everyone’s safe,” I said firmly, even though my heart was pounding so hard it hurt.Luna still sounded unfamiliar on my lips, even though only a few weeks had passed since Damon announced it in front of the pack ... weeks since the war that finally ended Zac’s reign of terror. Despite everything, here I was, leading my people once more through the haze of smoke and fear, doing my bes

Damon’s POVThe smell of blood reached me even before I could see the camp. The scent of iron, smoke, and fear was so strong it felt like I could almost taste it. My wolf was already stirring inside me, pacing, snarling, filled with restless energy. Every heartbeat that wasn’t hers fueled my growing rage, making it burn even more fiercely.“On my mark,” I growled, my voice rough and low, as frost nipped at the edges of my control. Surrounding me, my warriors crouched in the trees, their eyes glowing amber beneath the moonlight.The rogue camp lay below the ridge, with tents, fires, and scattered wolf silhouettes pacing around the perimeter. They appeared careless and overconfident, unaware of what lurked in the shadows.“Now.”We descended like death itself.The initial strike was silent, like a dagger piercing a rogue’s throat. Then, a growl escaped my chest as my claws punctured flesh. Chaos erupted in the night: flames flickered, steel clashed, and the snow absorbed blood, turning

Aria’s POVPain was the first thing I noticed. It wasn't sharp or sudden, but deep and never-ending...like fire slowly moving through my veins, or the earth itself eager to tear me apart.I tried to move, but my body just wouldn't cooperate. My breath was heavy and shaky, with each inhale feeling like it scraped my throat. I could hear voices shouting in the distance ... Damon’s voice, full of urgency and command. But through it all, the only sound I could really focus on was the steady pounding of my heart.And beneath it, something else.A whisper. Low, ancient. A language my human tongue shouldn’t understand.Rise, Luna.My eyes snapped open.The forest around me shimmered ... no longer burning, but softly glowing. The snow that had once been red with blood transformed into a gentle silver under an ethereal light. I found myself lying on the ground, partly covered in soot and overwhelmed by pain, but I was not alone.A woman was standing over me, or perhaps she wasn’t really a woma

Aria’s POVThe red moon hung low, casting a haunting glow over the valley. My heartbeat pounded in my chest as the mist moved, unveiling Zac’s army like a waking nightmare. Their crimson eyes shone bright, and their growls echoed across the battlefield.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. He was supposed to be dead. I had seen his blood, smelled it in the dirt, and felt the end of his reign in my bones. Yet he stood there, untouched, grinning like death itself.Damon’s body tensed beside me, his wolf's presence pressing close with a snarl in his throat. “Stay behind me,” he growled.I shook my head, clutching the dagger at my side. “No. Not this time.”He turned toward me, eyes blazing gold. “Aria...”“I’m fighting with you,” I said, voice trembling but steady. “I won’t hide while others bleed for what Zac caused.”Something flickered in Damon’s gaze...fear, pride, love...all tangled together. Then he nodded once, sharp and final. “Then stay close to me.”The horns sounded again, and th

Aria’s POVThe battlefield blurred before my eyes, as the metallic scent of blood and the cries of wolves filled the air, blending into a dull, pulsing hum. I dropped to my knees, clutching my stomach tightly, as pain swept through me like a fiery wave.“Aria!” Damon’s voice ripped through the chaos.I tried to look up, but the world spun so wildly around me. My vision broke into flashes of light and shadow ... glimpses of silver fur, streaks of blood, and fiery eyes in the distance. I could hardly breathe. The pain wasn’t just physical; it felt deeper, spreading beneath my skin and settling into my bones. My wolf whimpered quietly inside me, fragile but still present, still fighting to be strong.“Hold on,” I whispered to her, or maybe to myself.Damon quickly got to me, his hands warm and a bit shaky as he carefully lifted me into his arms. I could hear the pounding of his heartbeat right next to my ear, and I sensed the tremor in his body, feeling the panic that lay just beneath hi
