Lyra“Yes… I accept. Please help me.”The words came out cracked and soft, but I meant every one of them. My hands were clenched tightly by my sides, not out of anger, but desperation. Shame. Fear. Hope. All mixed together into something messy and real.For a second, Nick didn’t move.Then, I saw it, the way his face lit up, his eyes sparkling like he’d just hit the jackpot. His smirk widened into a grin so full it almost made me forget what I was begging for.And before I could even process it…He scooped me up.“What are you doing?!” I gasped, struggling in his arms, completely caught off guard.My feet left the ground, and I instinctively gripped his shirt, trying to push away. He held me effortlessly, like I weighed nothing.From the corner of my eye, I noticed the other hockey players watching. Some chuckled. Some whispered. One even pulled out his phone.Embarrassment settled over me like a thick fog.“Please,” I whispered. “Put me down. Everyone’s watching…”“No,” he replied ea

Lyra“This is absurd!” I burst out, folding my arms across my chest like armor. “I’m not going to your house. That doesn’t have to be the only option.”Mirae turned to look at me like I’d grown two heads. Her brows shot up, mouth slightly agape, as if she couldn’t believe I had the audacity to speak.But the truth?My heart was racing, so fast it felt like it might break through my ribs and crash onto the floor. I wasn’t trying to be rude. I was trying to stay sane. I was trying to stop myself from diving headfirst into a fire I knew would burn me. Nick was too much.“That’s not my problem,” the dorm mistress snapped, already gathering her files. “I’m done here.”She turned toward the door, pausing just long enough to give us one last warning.“Make sure to lock the door when you're all done, okay?” And with that, she was gone.The room felt strangely silent after her departure. Just us now. And him.Nick turned to me with that signature smirk slowly curling on his lips. He stepped cl

Lyra“Who’s that from?”Mirae’s voice snapped me out of my daze. I flinched. My fingers instinctively tried to lock my phone screen, but it was too late. She was already leaning over, eyes squinting like a detective sniffing out a secret.“No one,” I said quickly, voice too sharp, too defensive.She raised a brow, unconvinced. “I know it’s from Nick.”I froze. My mouth opened, but nothing came out. The way she said it, so casually, yet with certainty, made sweat bead along my hairline.She smirked, leaning against the wall “He seems serious about you. This is getting more and more interesting.”I looked away, biting my lower lip.I didn’t say anything. I couldn’t. Because the truth was, I didn’t trust him. Nick was dangerous in the way fire was: warm and tempting… but only if you didn’t get too close. And I was already starting to burn.Just then, a voice cut through the hallway like a whip.“What are you girls still doing? Follow me now!”We both jerked, startled. The dorm head’s sha

Lyra“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”Mirae’s voice pierced through the buzzing silence, loud and mischievous. My eyes widened, and my heart nearly stopped in my chest.Was she serious?Heat exploded across my cheeks, burning with embarrassment. My arms were still wrapped around Nick’s neck, my legs dangling off his hips as he held me there, effortlessly. His hands were firm on the back of my thighs, anchoring me to him like I belonged there.Rixa’s voice snapped in from the side, sharp and venomous. “Kiss what? Shut up!”But Mirae only shot her a smug look, arms folded, bouncing slightly on her feet like a cheerleader at a game.I wanted to vanish.Nick’s gaze was still on mine. His eyes glinted with something unreadable, something dangerous. His face was so close. His breath warm against my skin. And then, slowly, deliberately, he started to lean in again.No.I turned my head quickly, pulling away just in time.“No,” I whispered, more to myself than him. “Not again.”His brows furrowed, lips p

Lyra"What… are you?" I whispered, my voice barely a breath, shaking like a leaf caught in a storm.Nick stared down at me, his eyes still glowing, icy, sharp, unreadable. His chest rose and fell with a wild rhythm, and his lips, those same lips that had kissed me like they needed me were brushing against mine again. My body tensed. I wanted to fight, to push him away, but the heat of his mouth on mine melted my resistance.No. No, no, no—I tried to move, to scream, but everything started spinning. My vision flickered like a faulty light bulb. His face blurred. My legs gave out.And then… nothing.~~~“Lyra! Lyra!”A familiar voice echoed in the distance, frantic and cracking with emotion.My eyelids fluttered open.Bright lights, then a face, Mirae’s, hovering over me, tears streaming down her cheeks like she’d been crying for hours. Her eyes were wide and bloodshot, panic dancing in them.“Why are you crying?” I croaked, throat dry. I reached up weakly to touch her face.She let ou

Lyra“No.”The word slipped out sharper than I expected.Nick blinked, clearly surprised. Mirae’s jaw nearly hit the floor.“What’s wrong with you?” she hissed, grabbing my arm and yanking me toward a corner just off the path. Her eyes were wide with disbelief, like I’d just slapped the principal. “That’s Nick! As in Nick. The most popular guy in school. You just said no to him?”I looked at her, trying to stay calm, even though my chest was tightening again. “And so? Did you forget what those police officers said? We’re supposed to be back by eight. It’s already 7:55. The game’s over. We should go.”She scoffed like I’d lost my mind. “Seriously, Lyra? Come on! It's just three deaths. Nothing’s happened around campus yet. I mean, we’ll be surrounded by people. Nothing will happen. Let’s go! Please.”I hesitated. My gut told me to head back. But then Mirae leaned closer, her eyes twinkling mischievously. “I’m pretty sure Jay will be there too. Don’t miss your chance.”I closed my eyes

Chapter 20 Ivy’s POV"What?" I whispered, the word slipping out before I even realized it.My mouth hung open. I couldn't close it. Couldn’t breathe, even. Had I heard Jack right?“You’re my mate, Ivy. The one I’ve been waiting for.”That one sentence sent my world into a tailspin. It felt like someone had opened a trapdoor beneath me and I was free-falling, my heart left fluttering in the air behind me.Jack, this stranger I barely knew… just told me I was his mate?He smiled, like what he said was casual. Like it didn’t just rip through the confusion in my soul and add another crack to the already fragile state of my heart.He walked to the passenger door and opened it for me. “Let’s go to school,” he said gently. “I’ll take you.”I just stood there for a moment. Everything inside me was tangled in knots. Should I trust him? Could I?Jack was kind. His presence calmed me. His words made me feel seen. But Damon…Damon had carved himself into my thoughts like a scar I couldn’t look aw

Chapter 19 Ivy’s POVHe lunged toward me with terrifying speed, his red wolf eyes blazing, his snarl echoing off the stone walls. For a moment, I thought he would rip into me. I didn’t flinch, I was ready. My own blue wolf stood her ground, furious and trembling. We were locked in a deadly stare, two storms circling each other.But then, he stopped.Just inches away from me, his massive paws halted mid-step. His claws slowly retracted. His breathing slowed. And without a word, Damon shifted back into his human form.I followed, breathing heavily, letting Vivian retreat as the blue fur vanished and bones cracked back into place. I gasped, now bare and trembling on the cold castle floor. I was completely naked, my knees pressing into the hard stone, hair falling in wild curls over my shoulders.He didn’t look at me with lust or anger. Just… quiet. Distant.He pulled off the shredded remnants of his robe, the one I’d torn in my rage, and silently draped it around me. The fabric smelled

Chapter 18 Ivy’s POVI didn’t know what came over me. I swear to God, I hated this man. I hated him,.loathed every breath he took and every arrogant word that came from behind that damned mask. But last night... something shifted. It was still me who reached out to catch him when he stumbled. Still me who ran to his side when he looked like he had lost every last bit of hope and was going to throw himself into the water.So why..why in the holy name of the Moon Goddess, was I now lying under the duvet completely naked, whispering in my mind, “Come touch me… Come take me…”?What the hell is wrong with me?My heart was thumping like it was trying to rip out of my chest. My legs tangled awkwardly beneath the sheets as my body burned with a need I didn’t understand. The door creaked open, and there he was, Damon. Still in that ridiculous mask that hid everything… yet revealed too much.His eyes widened the moment he saw what was under the duvet.And I expected it.I expected him to poun

Chapter 17 Damon’s POV“Get out!” I growled, voice hoarse with rage and pain.The maids and guards, Ivy, the healer and selene didn’t wait a second. They scattered like frightened birds, leaving me alone in the suffocating darkness of my chambers. The door slammed shut behind them with a heavy thud that echoed through the stone walls like a death bell.Alone again. Like always.I collapsed onto the cold marble floor, my knees buckling as though my body finally gave in to the weight of centuries. My hand flew to my chest, fist clenching over the cursed chain that burned against my skin like a branding iron. A sob escaped me, raw and guttural. My shoulders shook violently as tears streamed down my face. I wasn’t crying, I was breaking.“I can’t… I can’t do this anymore…”My fingers brushed the sharp, dagger-like letter opener on the table beside me. Without thinking, I grabbed it and plunged it into my chest. The pain was sharp, searing… but fleeting.The wound healed instantly.Of cou

Chapter 16 Damon’s POV“You’re mine tonight,” I murmured into her ear, my breath hot against her skin.She froze.Her back stiffened, and I felt the slightest tremble in her shoulders. I watched her, closely. Her lips parted as if to protest, but no words came out. Her eyes, wide with fear, flicked to mine. She wasn’t ready. Not emotionally. Not physically. Her body was here, but her soul? Her soul was already trying to escape.She didn’t want this.And yet I was here, towering over her, with my abs visible, fists clenched with desire and duty.I told myself it was for her good. That once this was done, once we consummated the bond, I’d finally be released. She’d get the happy ending she dreamed of. Peace. A life free of me. This was the only way. That’s what I kept telling myself. Repeating it like a sacred chant to drown out the guilt trying to claw its way into my chest.But the guilt didn’t stay quiet for long.Because the moment I reached for my trousers, I saw her.Her.Aria.

Chapter 15 Ivy’s POV“What? Consum… what?” My eyes widened in disbelief, my voice cracking at the edges.Damon's voice was low, dark, and sharp like a knife cloaked in silk. “Consummation. With me.”I blinked. My pulse spiked. “I— I can’t. We didn’t talk about that. We never talked about having sex. I’m not ready!” My voice broke into a desperate yell.He didn’t even flinch. Beneath that eternal mask, his lips curled into a smirk so smug it burned through me. I could see it in the angle of his jaw, the arrogant tilt of his head.“Really?” he said, tilting his head slightly. “I don’t need to say much. Just know I’m ready for tonight. We have to consummate our bond... for the chain to be broken.”And just like that, he vanished. Gone. The silence he left behind was louder than his presence.I stood there frozen, heart hammering, body trembling. My fingers clawed at my own arms as I tried to ground myself. What the hell just happened?Why would I have sex with him?No. No! That can’t ha
