CHAPTER ELEVEN: WHISPERED POWER

Aria POVThe night is still young.The arena is meant to be fun, a place to relax, enjoy the show, and forget myself, and mentally prepare for the journey to the capital, but the tension from the mate bond totally changes the trajectory of things.The more I stare at him, the more panicked I feel. He looks away briefly, but the pressure doesn’t get any less.“Do you feel it?” I couldn’t help but whisper.“Of course I do,” he whispers almost immediately.My eyes widen in self-doubt. How did he read my thoughts? The mumbled sound I made was incoherent to anyone’s ears. Even I couldn’t fully comprehend what I said. In this instant, I realise something, something dangerous.When he whispers back, I feel both excited and surprised. Emperor Bond can communicate with me mysteriously. He can effectively speak to me, listen to my words, and nobody could decode what manner of conversation we just had.“How did you hear me whisper? Can you read my thoughts?” I ask in the same quiet manner. This

CHAPTER TWELVE: FIGHTING CONTINUES

ARIA POVThe racing in my heart continues, that unsettling feeling when a loved one is about to get killed. I don’t know what manner of perverted connection I have with Williams, but I am unwilling to see him drown in the blood of the defeated in this arena.The roars from the crowd worsen the situation. Their constant bickering, cheers, curses, and vulgar words plunge me into another realm of despair, but Emperor Bond seems to be enjoying the show.He chatters away with Damon, pointing fingers and sipping wine occasionally.Why… why the bloodshed for a meaningless cause? It is indeed meaningless to me because I couldn’t imagine putting my life on the line just to get on someone’s good graces, to be an escort or an emissary to the Emperor.It is even a way of putting yourself in harm’s way, but I guess these fighters share a different school of thought. They don’t mind. They fought their way into the competition, destroying anyone that tried to stand in their path.The singing monkey

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: AN UNWELCOME PRESENCE

ARIA’s POVFor a moment, the victory celebrations faded into nothing. The deafening cheers, the excited chatter, and the commotion surrounding William's triumph became distant echoes as that unsettling presence washed over me again. My heart pounded against my ribs as I turned toward the crowd, searching for the source of the dread creeping through me. Then my eyes settled on a familiar face, and every muscle in my body stiffened.Draxler. The ruthless emissary from the southern region, the man who served the evil twin alphas, Silas and Klaus, was standing among the crowd as though he had every right to be there.What the hell was he doing here? His eyes burned like white fire, their terrifying intensity piercing through the crowd and settling directly on me.A chill crawled down my spine, raising goosebumps across my skin. I couldn't explain what I was feeling, but something about his presence made me feel as though I had just stumbled into a trap I couldn't see.I swallowed hard, t

Chapter Fourteen: The Bond I Cannot Break

ARIA POV The moment I returned to my chambers, I shut the door behind me and leaned against it, releasing a deep breath I hadn't realised I was holding. The events of the arena continued to replay in my mind, from William's narrow victory to the strange sensation of being watched by someone whose presence had sent a chill through my entire body. However, Draxler wasn't the only thing troubling me. In a few days, Emperor Bond would be taking me to the capital, a place I knew very little about beyond its reputation and the power it held. I had no idea what awaited me there, what kind of people I would encounter, or what Bond intended to do with me once we arrived. The thought alone made my stomach twist unpleasantly. For the past few days, despite my better judgment, I had begun to lower my guard around him. There had been moments when I found myself responding to his teasing, accepting his help, and even feeling a little less threatened by his presence. Whatever the reason, I hat

Chapter Fifteen: Bound by Fate

ARIA POVAt first, I hated him for daring me to reject the mate bond. As much as I detested the bond, he was all I had. He had killed my father, and my mother had died trying to escape his pursuit.If I were to reject the bond, I would have nowhere to go. The Deviant Splinters had disbanded the moment my father died, and the organisation had become a joke.But his direct provocation drove me over the edge. Just as I had wanted to escape earlier, I thought that if I rejected the bond now, I could survive on my own.I opened my mouth, determined to say the words that would sever the bond between us. I had imagined rejecting him countless times, especially during those moments when his arrogance made me want to disappear from his presence forever.Now that he had practically handed me the opportunity, I wasn't going to waste it."I, Aria, I..." I stopped, frowning as the words tangled in my throat.Bond watched me closely, his expression becoming more attentive. "Go on," he encouraged."

Chapter Sixteen: A Breaking Point

ARIA POV "Stop right there!" The words came out like a command and a threat in disguise. I spun around, glaring down at him from the stairs. "What now?" "Come downstairs and have something to eat. I already know you'll refuse to touch the food if I leave you alone, and I'm not interested in watching you starve yourself." I let out a bitter laugh. "Why should you care? It's not as if you won't eventually find a reason to get rid of me." His expression changed, but I couldn't tell what he was thinking. That was another thing I hated about our bond. His authority could make my body respond to his commands, yet I had no such control over him. It was almost laughable how the Moon Goddess had managed to create a system that seemed determined to put women at a disadvantage. "How many times must I tell you that I'm not going to hurt you?" He rushed towards me. At first, I thought he was going to hit me, and my body was already trembling from the swiftness of his movement. But he caugh

Chapter Seventeen: A Deadly Fall

ARIA'S POV“Apologise right now,” Damon repeated.When Bond noticed Nyxara’s breath thinning, when he discovered that she was about to pass out. He removed his claws from her neck, and she collapsed onto the kitchen floor.Alpha Damon remained standing nearby, his dark eyes shifting toward me. Rather than rushing to help his mate, he gave me a wink that made me distinctly uncomfortable, and Bond noticed."Alpha Damon, you might want to concern yourself with your own mate instead of paying so much attention to mine."Damon finally turned toward Nyxara, who seemed to realise that arguing further would only make matters worse. She muttered an apology, and Bond stepped away from her.He didn't offer her a hand or show the slightest concern as she struggled to get herself up.I stood there, too stunned to speak, as I breathed out nervously. The entire situation had happened so quickly that I was still trying to understand how a simple insult had ended with Nyxara on the floor and Bond thre

Chapter Eighteen: The Things She Hides

Emperor Bond's POVI had saved my woman from death more times than I cared to count, yet she continued to behave as though I were her greatest enemy. Even when she ran away from Damon's pack, even when rogue wolves hunted her down, I had been there to rescue her.She had stayed by my side through the events at the arena and throughout the time I was supposed to choose an escort to accompany me to the capital.Yet, the moment the thought of travelling there crossed her mind, she lost control and unleashed her anger on everyone around her, breaking plates and acting like some freaking weirdo.I could understand that she was afraid, but destroying Damon's property was hardly the answer. Still, she was my mate, the woman destined to become the Luna of the Lycan King. Whatever she had broken could be replaced, and I wasn't about to make her pay for it.The real problem was that she still refused to accept the bond between us. I needed to make her understand that it wasn't a choice either o

Chapter Nineteen: A Night of Uncertainty

Emperor Bond’s POVMy jaw tightened. How could someone be this wicked? Why would she subject these people to such extreme conditions, making it almost impossible for them to survive?I had come here looking for a few spare clothes, but what I had found was far more disturbing. Nyxara had sent me to the omegas herself, apparently without considering what I might discover. Perhaps she had assumed I wouldn't look beyond the request I had come to make.She had made a serious mistake.I left the room and returned to the main corridor, my anger growing with every step. This was the second time Bloodymoon Pack had given me a reason to question how it was being managed. I didn't want to interfere in Damon's affairs unnecessarily, but I couldn't turn a blind eye to the possibility that his Luna was mistreating the very people she was supposed to protect.An Alpha's authority came with responsibilities, and a Luna was no different. If Nyxara was abusing the omegas under her care, then Damon nee

Chapter Twenty: An Unwelcome Attraction

Aria's POV“Noooo! Stay away from me!” I raised my voice at him. What the hell was this creep doing in bed with me, wearing nothing but his pants? Why was I curled up against him like a slobbering slut? Why was his thickness bulging against his pants, and why was he bare-chested, with all those bulging muscles sensually touching my skin?“Calm down, Aria!” He tried to reason with me. Emperor Bond raised both hands when he saw the fury on my face.I stared at him in disbelief, my fingers tightening around the blanket I had dragged over myself.“Don't tell me to calm down! What the hell were you doing touching me while I was asleep?”“I wasn't touching you,” he frowned.“Do you expect me to believe that?” I pulled the blanket closer, suddenly uncomfortable with the fact that I was sitting in his bed wearing nothing but his oversized T-shirt. We still hadn't gotten enough clothes to change into comfortably.My cheeks burned as I tried to make sense of what had happened. I had fallen asl
