Chapter Fifty Two: The Wolf Within I didn't sleep that night. I sat by the window in my room, watching the moon climb higher into the sky. It was luminous even though it was not full, casting silver light across the temple grounds. My thoughts were filled with endless possibilities. I was wolfless and weak, yet to become strong I had to become Selene and fight alongside the Alpha King. What troubled me most was what would happen to the person I had always been if I accepted the awakening. What would become of Aria? Lyrian’s love felt true and genuine, yet a part of me feared that he loved me only because I was the reincarnation of Selene. But my case was different. I had been Selene from the beginning. It was only when my wolf was suppressed that I became Aria, even after being reborn. Still, how long would I remain weak Aria, hiding and waiting to be protected instead of fighting back? Lyrian had been fighting this battle alone for centuries. For centuries he had lost and s

Chapter Fifty Four~~Aria POV~~I do not remember how I lost consciousness. The only thing I remember is pulling myself out of the pool while the High Priestess and the maidens bowed to congratulate me.Then I found myself lying in a bed.I woke slowly.My body felt heavy, as though I had been filled from the inside with something solid and real. I lay still for a long moment, breathing and listening, before trying to move.The room was unfamiliar. It was not the room I had stayed in before. This one was far more grand and richly decorated. I did not bother to think about the reason for the change.The ceiling arched high above me, carved from pale stone etched with faint lunar symbols. Soft light glowed from crystal lamps placed at intervals along the walls. The air smelled clean, touched with herbs and incense, not sharp and not overwhelming.I was lying on a wide stone bed layered with white furs.My muscles ached deeply, not sharply. It was the kind of ache that followed long exer

Chapter Fifty Six~~Aria pov ~~It had been three days since I awakened my wolf.My body no longer felt unfamiliar to me. Every movement made sense now, like something that had always been mine but taken away for years. I trained every morning until my muscles burned and my lungs ached. I trained until sweat soaked through my clothes and my hands shook from exhaustion.The memories of Selene guided me. I knew where to place my feet, how to balance my strength, how to draw power without losing control. It came naturally, as if my body remembered what my mind had forgotten.Within three days, I could feel the difference. What would take others years to understand and learn, I was able to grasp in days.My strength was no longer unstable. My senses were sharper. I could hear the wind brushing against stone walls, smell the earth beneath the floor, feel the pulse of power moving through my veins. The feeling I once thought I would never attain in my life. The feeling of being powerful. I

Chapter Fifty Eight~~Aria POV~~When I finally calmed myself, I looked toward the window. Morning light filtered through the temple windows, casting soft shadows across my chamber. I had been in that dream all through the night. I sat on the edge of the bed, my hands resting limply in my lap. The dream still felt more real than the room around me.I was still lost in thought when a sharp knock came at the door.Before I could respond, the door burst open. The High Priestess rushed in, her usually composed face flushed with excitement. Behind her came several temple maidens, their eyes filled with curiosity and wonder.“My Queen!” The High Priestess stopped in the middle of the room, breathing heavily. “We saw it. All through the night. The entire temple was bathed in silver light. The moonstone in the main hall glowed so brightly we thought it would shatter. The phenomenon in your room was even more unbelievable.”One of the younger maidens clasped her hands together. “The gardens, Y

Chapter Sixty~~Aria POV~~Lyrian and I left the temple the following day.We didn’t go to Silvercrest. Lyrian had made that decision the moment we stepped beyond the temple gates.“We’re going to the palace first,” he said. “You need proper rest before the festival. And I want you somewhere I know you’re safe.”I didn’t argue. The thought of returning to Silvercrest immediately, of facing the pack, made something uncomfortable twist in my stomach. The palace felt like neutral ground.We arrived at the royal palace as evening fell. Just as I had expected, the palace still stood where it had centuries ago, exactly as I had seen it through Selene’s memories, though now it carried touches of modern decoration.Servants rushed to prepare chambers, and the High Council members who resided there bowed deeply when they saw me. Word had spread quickly. The Luna Queen had returned. The lost mate of the Alpha King had been found.Lyrian made sure I was served a well prepared dinner. Afterward,
