1-The engagement party

CHAPTER-1Aria’s POV:You know that unsettling, queasy, gut-fraying feeling that churns your stomach when something horrific is about to happen?Yes, that's exactly how I felt standing in this grand hall, hosting my engagement party.I felt restless, my wolf too. She’d been whining in our shared mind space, mumbling words I couldn't quite decipher because of the loud crowd.To make matters worse, my insides were gnawing, and it felt like something inside me was being torn apart. It was a painful feeling, but I ground my teeth and told myself it was just extreme wedding jitters, forcing a smile while my chest increasingly heaved with worry and pain.However, whatever smile I could force disappeared when I noticed Rhett Blackstone, my mate and husband-to-be, was missing.Rhett and I had come to the party together and he was standing right beside me a couple of minutes ago, but right now, there wasn't a single trace of him, not even a faint trail of his scent lingering.Maybe he's greeti

2-The Price

hapter 2Aria“Please, baby. I did it because of you. I wanted to get close to him, to get to know him better and appreciate him as a person because of you then he seduced me and I got lost in the moment because of how much he resembles you”We both heard gasps from behind him. Roman responded. “He’s lying, Aria. We've been screwing each other for years now, his claim of being homophobic was a scheme to erase suspicions. We are more than just fuck buddies.”Roman's words hit home. I clenched my fists, angled my head, and sank my nails into my palms.“You know what? The two of you should just pretend I was ever here—” I hiccuped and I knew I couldn't deal with this anymore. It was only a matter of time before the tears started falling.There was barely so much I could keep in. I needed to leave here. I needed to think. To process my next step. I placed my engagement ring on the floor, half a meter away from where I was standing.“I hope both of you have an explanation ready for our fam

3-The Contract

CHAPTER 3ARIA“You have one week,” he said, sounding more like a challenge than anything. He shot me one last look as if to say, ‘Don't bother wasting your time,’ then stalked out, the crowd dispersing after him.I collapsed fully on the ground, tears threatening to spill from my eyes, but I controlled them. My nails bit my flesh as my heart bled. Cajoling the Blackstone alpha into forging an alliance was almost an impossible task.Alphas of noble packs had tried but failed. My only shot was with Rhett because he was the future Alpha, and his father, the king, was unapproachable.I've heard stories about him. Rhett talked about him the way you’d talk about a rogue wolf who didn't make the loudest noise or make an appearance but knows everything happening around him. Wild. Unpredictable. Unhinged.Everyone feared him. A glimpse of his face set scoundrels petrified, running away to hide.Blackstone Alpha, Zane Blackwood, held a powerful clout over the Alpha Council, and everyone wanted

4-Birth of the rebellion

CHAPTER FOURZANEWhen I stepped into the glass-walled citadel, it was already full. My footsteps resonated in the thick silence. I went past the tables of high-ranking wolves, past the other Alphas. I didn't look at any of them. I didn't need to. I could feel their eyes and the heat from their quiet rebellion, not just because my spy from amongst them had previously briefed me on what evil they were plotting, but because the air was thick with betrayal. I could smell it.Rhett was at the center of the citadel, guilt on his features. I wanted to shred it with my claw because I knew what it was even from the entrance. A facade.High Elder Dario stood up to address the council when I sat. Dario was the highest in the elder ranking.“King Zane, I believe you know why we are here,” he started, his voice sharp and conniving.I folded my arms and smiled. “Just go straight to the point,” I snapped, my jaw clenching. “I have other places to be.”“We all do,” Dario began, cracking his knuckles

5-We can still fix us

Chapter FiveAria“Aria Nightwind,” a woman’s voice called beside me at the entrance of the hall where I stood in an elegant white dress, adorned with the rarest onyx stones that sparkled like moonlight against a blade’s edge, with a bouquet of lilies held tightly in my grip.The dress was expensive, yet it was the farthest thing from a wedding dress in my closet, but I didn't mind. I couldn't bring myself to use the dress I had initially picked for my wedding because it reminded me of my ex-mate, and I didn't consider my union with Zane Blackstone a marriage. To me, this was another political and dynamic strategy meant to secure my birthright.“So, you’re the girl who crawled into Zane’s bed.” The voice taunted, and I scrunched my nose, swearing I knew that voice very well.The fact that she addressed the Alpha king by his name had to mean she had a cordial relationship with him.I turned slowly in the direction of the voice and saw brown eyes glaring at me with disgust.The owner of

6-You're mine now

Chapter SixAriaFix us…My breath caught in my throat.The word almost cracked me open right there on the altar.I hated Rhett, but I hated myself more. I hated how stupidly pathetically in love with him I was. How, after everything, I couldn't put him behind me. How I still thought he looked handsome. How I still wanted to kiss those adorable dimples of his and run my fingers through his curls.Gosh, I was pathetic, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't ignore him.My eyes lingered on his, and seconds bled into what felt like an eternity as I looked at his face, in thought.His cladded chest heaved up and down as though the air from the hall was thin. His pleading eyes teared up as he tried to reach me through the mindlink without any luck, and the hurt in his eyes made me second-guess myself for a moment, but I reminded myself that I'd sworn his father as my mate.I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced myself to meet his eyes. “It's too late, Rhett. You had your choice,

7-Wedding Night

Chapter SevenAriaHoly hell, the place wasn't a bedroom. It was a stage set for kings alone.It was magnificent!The first thing I noticed was the decor. The entire room was defined by a striking, high-contrast palette of sapphire and gold. The sapphire dominated the vertical space, while the gold was used exclusively for the ornamentation, lighting, and elements.As someone whose favorite colours are deep blue and gold, I found this decor very pleasant, and for the first time in a long while, I felt a delicious, dangerous sense of belonging.I walked towards the only bed in the room. It was very large, the second thing that I noticed. It stood centered like a monarch’s throne, made of high-polished mahogany.It was bigger than the king-size. The headboard was a colossal masterpiece of glided-wood carving of scrolls and volutes, upholstered in plush deep-blue velvet fabric set in precise diamond tufting with a crown as its apex.The bedding was an ocean of the same sapphire— a thick,

8-whispers of prophecy

Chapter EightZaneAria Nightwind had never been anything but a prospective daughter-in-law to me. Make no mistake, she was beautiful.Beautiful in all the ways a blooming rose could be. But I willed myself not to spare her a second glance.I made sure I observed her with indifference then, just enough to see that she was another noble daughter with expectations and ambition in her eyes.Deep down, I knew her bond with Rhett wasn’t right. I watched him with her. He never seemed to burn with the same fire I once had for his mother, my first luna, whom death snatched from my hands.But that night, I saw her. Really saw her—in a way that made me question everything I'd believed in.Aria sat at the edge of my bed in nothing but a thin silk dress, the dim light from the chandelier licking over her bare skin, almost teasing it.Her hips were too lush for a girl so young, and her breasts pushed delicately against the silk nightwear.Her hair, hot red like burning flames, spilled over her sho

9-Craving Him

Chapter NineAriaFuck that felt good.Zane’s lips felt good.His lips were calloused, rough, and unyielding, but he tasted good, so I didn’t push him away.His hands grabbed my thigh, pressing my curves into him, and so without thinking, I reached up, standing on my toes to get as close as I could, wrapped my hands around his neck, and then kissed him back.When I opened my mouth and invited him inside, he made a strangled sound of dominance, pushing his tongue inside my mouth, and I surrendered.“Oh fuck, Zane” I moaned, my hand around his neck tightening.He kissed me harder, claiming my sounds as his own, making my lips his, my taste his.I squirmed, pressed myself against him helplessly, and then pulled back to catch my breath.In that instant, Zane’s eyes snapped to my face, and what I saw in his eyes made my knees weak. His expression was raw in its purest form, and for that unguarded moment, he appeared desperate. Vulnerable.His rough palm slowly glided across the back of my

10-The Promise

Chapter TenAriaZane leaned against the bathroom door with an easy smirk etched on his lips.His annoyingly striking facial features stared at me mockingly. His mop of long, wet black hair fell over his brooding, viridian eyes that bored holes into my body and dripped water down the center of his chest onto the fold of the towel that was hung dangerously low on his hips-almost showing his massive cock that twiched against the fabric of the towel anytime he moved.He looked like he crawled out of a freaking lifestyle magazine. His tattoo-covered body, sharp jawline, slightly crooked nose, and stubble beard were one for the book. I’d seen a lot of good-looking men in my lifetime, but Zane?He looked so gorgeous, I could cry.His ripped chest muscles and perfectly defined abs caught my eye. He had the most tattoos I'd ever seen in my entire life. He was sunshine, charm, freak, vengeance, and madness sculpted to perfection.How could someone look so handsome yet so dangerous? He had made
