Nowhere to Run from the Bully Alpha
For years, Lyra Ashford survived as the invisible, abused omega servant of her pack. Her only goal was to endure the cruelty of her vain stepsister, Selene, and the arrogant, brutal future Alpha, Kael Draven, long enough to escape. With her protective hidden wolf, Nyra, keeping her sane, Lyra secretly saves every coin and flee to a prestigious city academy under the cover of Kael’s Alpha ritual.
She thought she was finally free. She was wrong.
When Kael the ruthless Alpha heir enrolls at the very same academy.
Suddenly, her safe haven feels like a cage. Kael corners her in the corridors, forces his way into her life, and stalks her every move. But the academy isn’t the packhouse, and Lyra refuses to bow to him anymore. As their forced proximity ignites a dangerous, undeniable heat, Kael becomes wildly territorial, ruthlessly punishing anyone else who dares to bully his target.
But Kael is still promised to Selene, and a match between an elite Alpha heir and a lowly omega is strictly forbidden. As the lines between hatred, possession, and raw desire violently blur, Lyra must decide if she is strong enough to fight the powerful man who was born to ruin her—or if her rebellious body will surrender to the bully she was never supposed to want.

Chapter: Chapter 11 – The Morning of the RitualI woke at four in the morning to a packhouse that was already vibrating with nervous, pre-dawn energy. I moved straight to the industrial kitchen, welcoming the harsh fluorescent lights and the freezing bite of the stainless steel counters. I started the commercial coffee machines, the loud, grinding roar of the beans providing the perfect acoustic cover, and began prepping the massive catering trays before the main staff even arrived.While the ice makers rattled and the ovens hummed, I slipped back up the service stairs, grabbed my travel case from beneath my bed, and carried it down. I moved like a ghost through the corridors. I found the ground-floor supply closet located directly beside the rear loading dock, shifted a heavy wall of bulk cleaning supplies, and slid my bag into the dark cavity behind them.« The security rotation just shifted, » Nyra murmured in my mind. « The outer gates are already locked open. I can hear the tires of the media vans and district VIP SUVs rolling

Chapter: Chapter 9 – His Kind of BullyingThe heat of the afternoon beat down on the pack’s outer training yard, heavy and unforgiving. Sweat slicked the back of my neck beneath my collar as I carried a towering stack of fresh towels. Maris had sent me on this errand under the guise of being "useful" to the visiting heirs, but I knew the moment I stepped through the heavy wooden gates that my presence would be weaponized.Kael was here.The young wolves were cooling down from their brutal drills, leaning against the wooden fences, chests heaving. Kael stood among them, looking as immaculate and untouched by exhaustion as ever. He spotted me immediately.With the casual, effortless arrogance of a boy who had never once been denied in his entire life, he simply raised a hand and lazily waved me over.Every eye in the yard turned toward me.I kept my face perfectly blank, locking my burning humiliation behind a wall of practiced ice, and walked toward him."You look tired, Lyra," Kael murmured when I finally reached him. He held

Chapter: Chapter 8 – The Heir Who Calls Himself PracticalI swung the wooden practice blade down hard. The wood cracked against my opponent's guard and he stumbled back. I followed his retreat, stepped inside his reach, and swept his legs out from under him. He hit the dirt with a heavy thud, the breath rushing out of his lungs."Get up," I told the boy in the dirt.He stayed down, clutching his side. "I yield.""I did not ask if you yield. I told you to get up."I stood over him and waited for him to catch his breath. The training grounds were hot today, the air thick with dust and the smell of sweat. I moved through the ritual combat drills with brutal, unyielding precision. My father, Alpha Dorian, stood near the edge of the ring watching my every move. He observed from the periphery, measuring my readiness for the upcoming ritual with a cold eye."Too much force on the finish," my father said. He crossed his arms over his chest. "You waste energy trying to break them when a simple disarm is enough.""A broken opponent does not try to sta

Chapter: Chapter 7 – The Packhouse Job and the Alpha's AmusementsThe midday sun beats down on the outer training yard. I carry a heavy crate of water bottles for the sparring fighters. Sweat drips down the back of my neck, but I keep my head lowered. Selene and a cluster of her polished friends lounge on the shaded benches. They sit in the cool shadows, observing Kael drive his opponents into the dirt with ruthless precision.Every time a fighter hits the ground, the girls giggle and point. I focus on the weight of the plastic handles digging into my palms. I just need to deliver the water and get done. As I pass the benches, one of Selene’s friends deliberately thrusts a foot out. Her polished shoe catches the plastic edge. She kicks the crate and sends the water bottles scattering across the dusty ground.The plastic hits the dirt with a loud series of thuds. The girls erupt into high, cruel laughter."Watch where you are walking, you clumsy idiot," the girl says."She can not help it," another girl adds loudly. "She does not have any wolf streng

Chapter: Chapter 6 – The Market Errand and the AlleywayThe mud-slicked route through the district mercantile square sucked at the soles of my boots. The pale afternoon sky offered no real warmth, and the three heavy, awkwardly shaped parcels in my arms were already making my shoulders ache. Maris always made sure I ran these errands during the busiest hours of the day. It was her way of reminding the entire pack that the Ashford family maintained perfect order, starting with their omega servant.The dread settled in my stomach long before I reached the central stalls. The market was loud, crowded, and completely unforgiving.I kept my head lowered, trying to weave through the throngs of people buying fresh meat and winter fabrics. I just needed to reach the apothecary and get back to the estate.Two younger, ranked fighters stepped out from a weapons stall right in front of me. They saw me coming. They had plenty of room to move aside, but they deliberately veered from their path.The larger one struck his shoulder hard against mine.The

Chapter: Chapter 5 – Morning Orders and Small SavingsI was awake long before the sun even considered rising.Maris required the kitchen to be completely lit and the morning tea service set out before the rest of the household stirred from their beds.The stone floors held the night's chill, biting right through the thin soles of my boots as I stood at the deep iron sink.I buried my hands in scalding water and scrubbed the heavy breakfast pans until my knuckles ached and the skin peeled back tight against the bone.《You missed a spot right on the edge.》Nyra sat her tail wrapping neatly around her paws.She watched me work with a highly critical eye, her golden gaze tracking the movement of my sponge."I didn't miss it," I told her silently, scrubbing harder at the baked-on grease. "It is permanently stained. I can't scrub iron away."《If you happen to permanently stain one of Selene's new gowns later today, I will not complain.》Nyra tilted her head, her eyes gleaming with dark amusement.《We could just misplace her most expensive sil
