ARIANA'S POV:Ariana stood at a spot as she was lost in thought beside the broken window of the house in Ashtorn Pack and her fingers trembling around the tray that she is carrying. Laughter filled everywhere from downstairs while the servants prepared for tonight's gathering . Rain poured down heavily over Ashthorn Pack like the sky itself mourned Ariana Vale's fate.Ariana!Her stepmother's sharp voice came through the hallway jotting Ariana back to reality And she hurried downstairs immediately almost falling down Yes, Luna.You're late again The older woman slapped the tray away from her hands in anger making Glass to shatter across the floor. You are a Useless girl! Ariana lowered her eyes She was used to yelling and humiliation because In Ashtorn Pack, a wolfless girl was treated worse than dirt itself Especially her.You will serve the guests tonight her stepmother continued coldly and try not to embarrass this family for onceBefore Ariana could answer, the large doors of th

The massive gates of Shadowcrest Castle opened slowly with a loud sound of metallic groan that echoed through the stormy night.Ariana's breath caught in-between her throat as the royal carriage went forward across the dark stone bridge leading into the kingdom of the shadowcrest.Everything in this new place felt so wrong.Cold black towers stood towards the sky while silver flames burned along the walls without dying beneath the heavy rain. Warriors dressed in dark armor lined both sides of the entrance with their heads bowed respectfully as Kael Draven returned home Yet, despite their loyalty ,Fear still filled their eyes whenever they looked up at him.The carriage finally stopped before the enormous castle entrance and For several seconds, nobody moved Then, Kael stepped out first and The guards immediately bowed down on their knees .Your Majesty! But Kael ignored them completely instead, he moved toward the carriage and walked Towards Ariana, Come let's go in.That word sounded mo

Ariana's POVThe silver light disappeared as suddenly as it had come.I blinked.For a second, I wondered if I had imagined it.My hand flew to my collarbone.The skin felt warm.I rubbed it gently, expecting to find something there.Nothing."What was that?" I asked, looking from one face to another.Nobody answered.Selene stood frozen near the door.She had been glaring at me only moments ago. Now she looked as if she had seen a ghost.Her lips parted, but no words came out.I frowned."Selene?"She didn't even look at me.Her eyes stayed on the place where the light had appeared."No..." she whispered. "It shouldn't be possible."A knot formed in my chest."What shouldn't be possible?"Before she could answer, Kael stepped in front of me.His body blocked me from everyone's view.The change in him caught me off guard.He wasn't angry.He wasn't cold.He looked... concerned.His eyes searched my face as if he was making sure I was still standing."Does it hurt?" he asked quietly.I

Ariana's POVThe roar came again.This time it lasted longer.The windows shook so hard that one of them cracked.The young guard standing near the door took two slow steps back."I've never heard anything like that," he whispered.Neither had I.The sound didn't just reach my ears.I felt it inside me.Like something was calling my name from far away.Selene grabbed my arm."We're leaving."I pulled away."No."She stared at me."This isn't the time to argue.""I'm not hiding while people are risking their lives because of me.""They're risking their lives because the King ordered them to.""Exactly."I walked past her.She caught up with me before I reached the door."If you leave this room, he'll blame me.""I'll tell him it was my choice.""You don't know Kael."I stopped walking and looked at her."No.""I don't.""But neither do you."For the first time, Selene had nothing to say.Another explosion shook the castle.Dust drifted from the ceiling.The frightened guard looked betw

Ariana's POVNobody knew what to do.The creature stayed where it was.Its head was lowered before me.The same monster that had torn through the castle gates now looked... obedient.I stared at it, unable to understand what was happening."I don't understand," I whispered.The beast slowly lifted its head.Its red eyes were no longer filled with rage.They looked calm.Almost gentle.I took one careful step back.The creature did not follow.Instead, it lowered its head again.Around us, nobody moved.Then one of the hunters shouted, "Don't let her control it!"The spell was broken.Arrows flew through the air."Down!" Rowan yelled.Before I could react, someone grabbed me around the waist and pulled me to the ground.An arrow flew over my head.Kael.He covered me with his body as more arrows struck the stone around us."You never listen," he muttered.Even in the middle of danger, I almost smiled."You've noticed?"He looked at me for a second."I noticed the first day I met you."
