ARIANA'S POV;I stood before the gathered members of Nightshade Pack, my heart pounding with anticipation as I prepared to address them.I knew that my words would be met with skepticism and doubt, but I was determined to prove myself worthy of their trust."I have come to reclaim my rightful position as the Luna of this pack. To lead these people," I declared, my voice ringing out with conviction.As my words echoed through the crowd, murmurs of disbelief rippled through the gathered wolves. How could they trust someone who had once betrayed them?"I know that my actions in the past have caused harm and distrust among you," I continued, my voice softening with sincerity."But I pledge my allegiance to Nightshade Pack, and I forsake and denounce any loyalty I once held to Brian."The crowd remained silent, their eyes fixed on me as they waited for me to prove my loyalty."I will prove to you that I am worthy of your trust," I declared, my voice steady despite the uncertainty swirling
ALPHA BRIAN'S POV;I stood alone in my chamber, surrounded by the suffocating silence that echoed the turmoil within me.Bitterness and anger seethed beneath the surface as I gazed at my reflection in the mirror. How had everything spiraled into such chaos?A wave of emotions overwhelmed me as I thought of Ariana, once the love of my life, now a distant figure who had forsaken our bond.The pain of her betrayal cut deeper than any physical wound, leaving a raw ache in my heart.With a clenched fist, I struck out at the mirror, unable to bear the sight of my own shattered reflection.Glass exploded into a thousand fragments, scattering across the floor like fallen stars. Blood welled from the gashes on my arm, a stark reminder of the agony that consumed me.As I stood amidst the wreckage, hopelessness washed over me. How could I ever find peace amidst this chaos?The woman I had loved with every fiber of my being had turned her back on me, leaving me adrift in a sea of despair.I sank
AUTHOR'S POV;Damon sat at the head of the table, his brow furrowed in deep contemplation, as Victor and the elders voiced their concerns about Ariana's true intentions.The room was filled with tension, the air heavy with suspicion and doubt."I understand your apprehensions," Damon began, his voice calm yet firm."But we cannot jump to conclusions without concrete evidence. Ariana has pledged her allegiance to Nightshade, and we must honour that until proven otherwise."Victor, the staunchest sceptic among them, shook his head adamantly. "I cannot trust her, Damon.She has deceived us once; who is to say she will not do so again? We cannot afford to be naive."The elders murmured in agreement, their expressions reflecting Victor's sentiments. They had seen the devastation caused by betrayal before, and they were not willing to risk it again.Damon sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "I understand your concerns, but we cannot let fear cloud our judgment.Ariana ha
"Do you know who that woman was? or where she lives?" I asked the guards, who shook their heads negatively, making me take a deep breath."She is really so strange, and I must really find out what made her that strange, and the strange scent coming from her too," I thought within me, not being able to voice it out."Alpha, do you want us to help you fish her out?" One of the guards asked me, making me sighed softly, as I kept calm for a while."No, you don't have to worry about that, I will do it myself, when I'm ready," I told them, while they just bowed, before I finally started walking away.Time was running out, and my kids and Brian needed me back, so I just had to focus on how to get them for now, and nothing else.I thought within myself, as I started walking on, while they continued following behind me.I was already so frustrated with the fact that they are always following me, so I would have to do something about it as Soon as possible.I thought within me as I finally wal
"Guards are always following her, because the council members insisted that they needed it for the safety of the pack." Damon tried to explain to him, but he was proving so stubborn.I really don't know what more to do at this moment, and I'm really so fed up with all the nonsense that they are doing in this Pack.I really can't believe that I was the one that single handedly built the Pack to how it is now. But I was being treated this way by the same people whom I once ruled over.They actually killed my son, so I will say they are extremely cruel people.Because despite all I did for them, they still had the mind to kill my son, and that's really the height of it.I'm really going to take revenge on them, once I finally leave this Pack, because they really don't deserve any mercy, as they never for once shower me any mercy.Andy was still very young, he was only four years old, but they couldn't show him mercy and spare him, instead they tormented him, to the point he couldn't surv
"I'm going to question the head of the guards," I finally spoke up,as I looked up at him."No, don't go close to him," Victor said, making me wonder what was going on in his Head."And why would you tell me that?" I asked him, with my voice filled with wonder, as he just stopped me."You are not fit to do the questioning as you are also a suspend, and it would be foolish of us to allow you do the investigation,"He spoke up, and to be honest I felt hurt hearing those words from him.I couldn't move anymore as I just stood rooted to the spot I was standing before."Yes, you are not worthy, and don't even think of coming closer to the man," Another of the elders spoke, adding to the pain I was already feeling."That's enough, whoever wants to question this man should just step forward, instead of this humiliation on our Alpha," Damon said, and just then an elder stepped forward.Everyone focused their attention on them, while I slowly went back to my seat feeling so ashamed of myself.I
"I'm innocent of this crime you all are accusing me of, I really didn't do it," I spoke up, getting all frustrated with the injustice they were doing."If you didn't do it, then who did?" The chief asked me, making me calm immediately, as I thought of someone that could have done it."I'm still waiting for you to say something," The Chief reminded me, making me look up at me."I don't really know, but if I'm given more time, I will come up with good evidence," I told him, with my voice lingering with determination.The Chief kept calm for a while, as I could tell my words, get into him, making him so reluctant to pass his judgement."It's so obvious that she is guilty," I heard Victor's voice from behind me, making me frown immediately, as I turned around to see him coming into the meeting room.This man is so annoying, and I really wished I could just kill him right now, so there won't be anyone trying to make me look bad before the people."Why did you say so?" The Chief asked him,
"I will find the evidence soon," I said with so much confidence."We really hope you do Alpha, because it will be the best thing ever, " they chorused, while I thanked them again, before we continued our walk again.Once I got into the house, I felt a hand grab hold of me, making me stop as I quickly turned around to see who it was."Damon," I muttered, as I came face to face with Damon, who just smiled at me."Where have you been, I have been looking everywhere for you," he told me, as he moved very close to me."I.." I stuttered on my words as I looked up at him.I could literally feel his hot breath in my face, as he was just too close to me, and I really don't want that.It was actually making me so uncomfortable, and I wished I could ask him to move away, but I also wanted him to feel offended, because I know how he could be some time."I went to investigate this case that they are accusing me of," I finally answered his questions while facing the floor."Oh okay, but you should
