DestinyI felt Aldric's grip on my arm loosen, and I stepped forward, ready to face Selena once more."Aww, you want to fight me, little girl? How cute," Selena mocked me."Yes, and I won't hold back," I promised her and attacked with a swift kick.My blow caught Selena in the mid-section, but she barely budged. Instead, she slammed her fist into my cheek, hitting hard enough to throw me sideways. I let out a yelp of surprise and quickly recovered, dancing back into a defensive stance. Selena's eyes narrowed in amusement at my surprise."You are stronger than I imagined, Destiny. But are you sure you can handle a real vampire?" She asked with delight, assuming I might back down now. But I didn't flinch, considering her words for a few seconds instead before leaping again at her. This time, leading with my left leg, I hoped to go for her legs instead of the torso.Selena did a side-step to avoid me and threw a crescent kick that hit my right leg just below the knee and sent me sprawlin

AldricI rushed inside and placed Destiny on the bed. "I need a healer here. NOW!"Delora rushed into the room. "Alpha Aldric! You are back!""Now is not the time to celebrate my arrival, Delora. Get the healer now. Destiny is hurt," I said urgently.Delora's eyes widened in concern, and she nodded swiftly. "Of course, Alpha Aldric. I'll fetch the healer immediately."As Delora hurried out of the room, my attention returned to Destiny, lying pale and battered on the bed. Guilt gnawed at me for not being able to protect her fully. I should've never let her fight Selena, but I couldn't undermine her powers by not letting her either.I reached out and brushed a strand of hair away from her face.The healer rushed into the room after a few moments. "What happened, Alpha?" she asked, her eyes assessing Destiny's condition."She fought a vampire," I explained briefly. "We need to do everything we can to save her."The healer nodded solemnly and began her examination. "She's lost a lot of bl

Aria"What do you mean you are leaving?"Destiny stared at me wide-eyed, and I was overwhelmed with guilt. I had promised to stick by her and protect her forever as her big sister, but here I was, abandoning her."I am sorry, Destiny. I decided to go with Nathan. Alpha Aldric banished him from this Pack. Nathan will be out there, building his own Pack from the ground up. I want to be there for him and help him," I told her.Tears welled up in Destiny's eyes as she processed my words. The weight of my decision hung heavy in the air, and I could see the hurt in her expression."But you promised," she whispered, her voice cracking. "You promised you'd always be there for me, that we'd face everything together."I reached out to touch her shoulder, torn between my loyalty to my little sister and the unexpected pull I felt towards Nathan and his quest for redemption."I know, Destiny. And I meant every word of that promise," I said, my voice filled with regret. "But sometimes life takes un

Aria Nathan's posture was tense. His back was arched, his fur bristling and his lips curled back to reveal sharp teeth, but he managed a low growl at her."First things first," Selena smirked. "You should probably shift back into human since I don't speak dogs," she said to Nathan and Baron. Baron just stood there while Nathan didn't hesitate before quickly shifting back into human form.He didn't say anything for a while as he stared at Selena with fury in his eyes. "You," he finally said slowly. "You started all of this. I am going to snap your fucking neck.""Down, boy. Let's talk about this first," Selena said."Talk? There is nothing to talk about," Nathan hissed and came closer to her. "You killed my mate, so I will kill you in return."Selena scoffed. "Oh, come off it. I told you it was an accident."Nathan's fists clenched, his knuckles turning white. His jaw tightened and he looked away for a split second before focusing back on Selena again. Nathan looked like he was goin

I sat on a bench, cradling a bundle of joy in my arms. My baby was finally born, and she was perfect. After that fateful night with Selena, my life changed drastically. Baron, the one who betrayed me and Aria to side with Selena, was finally brought to justice. Alpha Aldric showed no mercy as he banished him off to an island. The taste of revenge was bittersweet as I watched my former friend disappear into the horizon, knowing he could never hurt me or anyone else again. Aria kept her promise to Nathan and left with him. This time, I wasn't angry. If that's how she finds her happiness, then so be it. Alpha Aldric approached, a tender smile gracing his features as he looked at the precious life we had created together. The baby, swaddled in a soft blanket, blinked up at me with curious eyes. "Spending some quality time without me, I see," Aldric said and smirked. I smiled, my heart brimming with contentment. "Yup, with our little miracle, Clara." Alpha Aldric sat down beside me
