Chapter 100: New Dawn
ARIA POV
The ground shook beneath my feet as I stood facing the seven remaining Alpha leaders. My silver eyes glowed in the morning light, making some of them step back.
"Is it true?" asked Alpha Elena, her voice shaking. "You can take our Alpha power away?"
I felt the new power humming through my blood. Since beating Silas last night, everything had changed. My body felt different—stronger, faster, more linked to the moon even though it wasn’t visible in the daytime sky.
"I don’t want to take anyone’s power," I said, keeping my voice calm. "I want us to share it."
Alpha Marcus laughed, but it sounded nervous. "Share power? That’s not how our world works."
Behind me, I felt my three mates moving closer, ready to protect me even though I no longer needed protection. The triplets—Kael, Lucien, and Jaxon—had been by my side since sunrise, shocked by my transformation but loyal as always.
"Our old world is gone," I said definitely. "When I stripped Silas of his Alpha position, the Moon Goddess made her choice clear. There’s a new order now."
The image of Silas’s defeat flashed through my mind—his eyes changing from yellow to brown as his Alpha power drained away. He’d been taken away by Elder Malin, locked somewhere safe until we chose what to do with him.
Alpha Elena stepped forward carefully. "What exactly are you proposing, Luna Aria?"
I took a deep breath. This was the moment I’d been preparing for. "A new treaty. No more Alphas rule over Betas and Omegas like they’re less worthy. No more pack wars. No more treating people as enemies."
