Chief commander Kade sat on his bed, hand clasped together. He seemed to be in deep thought as he buried his face to the ground. His mind, his thought– were a big mess as it all linked back to just one person– the Luna.Aria.He let out a soft low sigh, as he rolled up the sleeves of his cloth, displaying his well built muscles and veins of his right arm.A small scar– like the shape of a crescent, resided on his biceps, comfortably. He had gotten the scar when he was young and he remembered crying a lot as a result of that. The wound couldn't heal because his wolf powers were still dormant at that time and the wound was from a knife covered with poison from a moon cursed flower which prevent wounds from healing, resulting in a scar.Once, just beside the scar, a name which was written with permanent ink stood beside the scar like a protector, but all that was left of it now was fade which won't be noticeable unless one comes closer.The name was... Aria."Aria..." he whispered out lo

The moonlight slipping in through the open windows of Kael's chamber illuminated half the room. Its light casting shadows on the walls of his room.Fresh from his bath, droplets of water still clung to his dark hair, sliding slowly down the sides of his neck and disappearing beneath the collar of his shirt. The damp strands gave him a rugged, careless allure, making him look even more striking than usual.His sharp eyes moved over the stacks of paperwork scattered across his desk.Reports. Complaints. Patrol updates. Festival preparations.He never treated his duties lightly, especially when it concerned his people. Sleep could wait. Responsibility could not.Tonight, he was prepared to deprive himself of rest until every last document was handled.He rolled his shoulders and cracked his neck, loosening the stiffness in his muscles before settling into the chair. The single candle burning on his desk flickered gently, its warm light blending with the cold silver glow of the moon and b

"I didn't think I ever told you, but your brother– Kael, is Mariella's mate," Aria muttered, playing with her hair.She was on the bed with Cain, who sat upright, reading a book while she laid her head in his lap.Cain's eyes widened. "What? How is that possible?" he muttered, staring down at Aria, who simply shrugged."It actually is possible, since it's the goddess's work of fate. Just like she has fated us to be together," she muttered again."I just find it... so surprising," he mumbled, rubbing his temples. "Now what, is he going to reject her, just like he did to you?""It would have been much better if he could do just that. At least, the rejection pain will fade at some point, and she will surely get a second-chance mate. But it's impossible," she murmured."What are you saying? Don't tell me... no way." His eyes widened more. "It isn't what you're thinking, right?"Aria nodded. "It's exactly what you are thinking. Kael doesn't feel the bond. It is more like a one-sided love."

"Woahhhhhhhh." Mariella exclaimed. "Did I just hear you correctly?" she questioned, smiling knowingly at Aria."Come on Mari, stop embarrassing me. It took all the courage in me to be able to say that." Aria mumbled, making faces at them."You are ready to off Alpha Cain. He is going to be a finished man when you see him." Lynn gushed, holding her cheeks as she imagined how that night was going to be."Gosh, not you too Lynn." Aria whined."You want to scatter his brain. When he sees you, his heart will pump faster and faster."Aria swatted her arm. "You two are impossible.""Oh, we are very possible," Mariella said. "Just imagine it. Alpha Cain walking into the room lightened by candlelight which is setting the mood already.""Oh my God..." Lynn gushed, smiling widely. "Then that lacy sexy lingerie clinging to you." she whispered, for her friends to hear."Our mighty Alpha freezes... then pounces," Mariella finished, wiggling her brows. "You're basically attacking him."Maida stiffen

Cain stood at the doorway, his gaze settling on Aria who was smiling nervously. He stared at her for a few more seconds, his curiosity slowly sipping away.Something about her felt different. She was nervous and things seemed awkward like something has been going on before his arrival. Like his presence had drawn their attention away from something very important.He let out a soft sighAria blinked in surprise. "Cain? You're back already?"He nodded once, his eyes still on her. "I missed you."Her cheeks warmed instantly.Mariella and Lynn exchanged looks, barely holding back their excitement.The awkwardness that had been built some minute ago due to his arrival was slowly fading away."I missed you too,". Aria mumbled softly.Cain's lips curved faintly into a small smile. "I came to take you. I have a surprise for you."Lynn gasped.Mariella clasped her hands together. "A surprise?"Aria's blush deepened."I'll see you both later," she said quickly, trying to hide her flustered sta
