Lira's POV I stood in a forest that wasn't a forest. I could feel the earth humming deep beneath my feet. Bushes surrounded me, yet I felt like I could see through them. I didn't remember walking to this place. A low growl came from behind as I turned around to find my way out.When her gaze met mine, I felt like I was staring into a reflection that had been alive far longer than I had. “Who are you?” I whispered.Her answer came to my mind. “ You already know.”Realization hit me. It was Syvira.She reached forward, leaning her head towards mine. As we collided, so did our thoughts. The memories burned into me like a brand.“Take her away now. He must not know,” Salcan said, signalling a young woman by the door.Damien lay at the corner. He seemed to be under a spell. My father took out a vial containing a silver liquid.“From today onwards, you are no longer Moonblessed. You will roam the lands believing you are exiled. You don't have a family. You are alone.”With those words, Sa

Lira's POV My father’s confession rang in my head as the guards loaded me onto the carriage.For a moment I couldn't breathe. I wasn't wolf-less by nature. It was stolen from me by the person who was supposed to protect and love me. I had been betrayed. My father was untied and forced to sign over half of his possessions. I wanted him to lose more than what Damien demanded. I wanted him to have a glimpse of how it felt to be me. But I reminded myself that Damien was unpredictable. I didn't know his purpose for me yet. I could be killed and this whole act of sympathy was just one of his manipulative tricks.The pack could only stare as we were hauled past them. Some looked away while others pitied me. My father stood defeated. Anger filled his eyes, probably because his puppet, Ronin, was taken away from him.I caged her wolf. Those words were etched in my mind permanently. I will never forgive him. Not Salcan. Not Ronin. Not anyone.As we moved deeper into the woods, the light of

Damien's POV“Strange,” I said, staring down at her frame. For a girl who was called worthless, I couldn't keep my eyes off her.I stood at the crest of the hill, savouring the smell of victory. But it wasn't the chained warriors that held my gaze. It was her. The girl from the shadows.Something about her intrigued me. I was pulled to her like nothing else in that courtyard mattered.“Alpha,” Marcus said, standing at my side.“The courtyard is secure. The alpha and the pack await your judgment.” My gaze was fixed on her trembling body as they shoved her to her knees.“A wolf who has forgotten her fangs,” I said softly, more to myself than him. Marcus followed my gaze and frowned. “Oh that one, she is the weakest amongst them.”My lips curved into a smile. “And yet she holds my interest more than the rest. Salcan acts like a proud king, yet he bows in surrender in front of his pack. Ronin, on the other hand, kneels in shame. But her… she doesn't yet know what she is. That makes he

It had been 279 days since the full moon, the night I was supposed to shift and prove that I was worthy of the Moon Blessed pack. But my wolf never came, and ever since that day, my father reminded me that I was a failure.“An Alpha’s daughter should not be treated like this,” I thought to myself.The whip slashed across my back once more, jolting me out of my thoughts.“Faster, omega,” my father snarled.I bit down on the scream clawing up my throat, and continued scrubbing the floor.I said nothing. I never said anything. Words only made the punishment worse.“Useless,” he said, spitting on me.“You can’t do the only thing you’re good at. A wolf that cannot shift isn’t a wolf at all. You are nothing, Lira.” He turned and walked into the courtyard.The Moon Blessed pack wasn’t supposed to be like this. We were known for powerful visions, gifts from the goddess herself. But me? I couldn’t even shift. I was renowned as the only daughter of an alpha who wasn't even good enough to be ran
