LyraThe moment our feet touched wolf lands again, something shifted in my chest.Not fear. Not regret. Just... awareness. Like coming back to a place you're not sure still wants you.The airstrip sat in the middle of nowhere, exactly where Uncle Gerald said it would be. Cool air hit my skin, carrying the smell of pine and earth. Two black jeeps waited at the edge, drivers standing stiff as statues.I grabbed Ethan's arm before he could walk towards them.He looked down at me, brow furrowing. "What is it, love?"I studied his face. The way the light caught the grey at his temples. The steady calm in his eyes that hadn't been there two years ago."How do you feel?" I asked. "Coming back here?"His expression softened as he covered my hand with his."There's no need to worry, Lyra. I'm fine." He squeezed gently. "It's been two years. I don't think anyone still holds a grudge. I've accepted it." He paused. "Like a bad dream we finally woke up from."I smiled. "I'm glad.""Now can we go?

LyraThe prison cells of the Crimson Pack were the last place I wanted to be.But it was a place I needed to visit-one last time before leaving the wolf lands.Richard had stripped Linda of her Luna title and her membership in the Lupari Pack. A letter arrived yesterday. Callum and Linda were being transferred to Gomorit, one of the council's highest-security prisons. They would lose their wolves there... and then they would be hanged.I decided to use my final opportunity to visit them.Callum first.When I reached his cell, I found Albert already there.I stepped back slightly, wanting to give the brothers a moment. Despite everything, I genuinely felt bad for him.Albert immediately bowed when he noticed Ethan and me."Alpha Lyra. Alpha Ethan.""We can give you space," I offered."No need." Albert shook his head. "I came to apologize. For abandoning him that day... to make amends." He paused, his expression hardening. "But there's no use since his heart is already damned.""You're

LyraThe preparations moved fast after Ethan agreed.Uncle Gerald and Uncle Simon handled everything. Well, mostly Simon. Uncle Gerald had decided to stay back because of his wounded troops. As king, it wouldn't have been wise for him to just leave. The clan needed their king, and no matter how much he missed his doctor days, he couldn't just leave, while Uncle Simon would assist him in any other business if there was one.I didn't go back to the vampire territory. Instead, I stayed in Crimson Pack as we prepared to travel back to the human lands.As we returned back, just as Ethan had told me, there was tension everywhere. Lingering looks, unspoken accusations, and unresolved blames sitting heavy in their chests. We had just won a war that moved longer than centuries, and right now everyone needed to work toward a greater path and greater future.I gathered everyone in the main hall. Ember. Jeremy. Richard. Elisa my mother. Fabian and Dominic. Kian and the ones who mattered."Thank y

Lyra~I woke up to warmth, not the kind from blankets or sunlight sipping through windows. It was the kind that comes from being wrapped in someone who loves you. Who chose you? Who fought through hell to find his way back to you.Ethan's arms were draped across my stomach, heavy and solid. His face was turned towards me, still lost in sleep, and I let myself just... look.Two years. Two years since the war ended. Two years since I stood in the ruins of everything and somehow found the strength to rebuild. And here he was, still here.He had grown a little beard over the past months. It framed his jaw in a way that made him look softer and harder at the same time. His hair was a mess... blond waves falling across his forehead, tangled from sleep.I breathed in his scent, warm and inviting. The one that settled something in my chest every time.Slowly, carefully, I lifted his arm. He groaned low in his throat, muttered something from sleep, and rolled onto his back. His hand flopped o

Council's Residence~Maximus Dray moved through the marble corridor like a possessed man.His boots barely touched the floor as he ran. Guards snapped their attention on him as he passed, but he didn't see them. Didn't hear their murmured greetings. His entire focus was fixed forward, on the heavy large doors at the end of the hall.The younger guard by the pillar waited until Chief Guardian Maximus was twenty paces ahead before leaning toward his partner."Why is Guardian Maximus running like that?"His partner kept his eyes straight ahead. With a shrug, "How should I know?""Hmm, one would think he has gone mad running like that.""Hey... don't say something like that," the older guard spoke, his voice barely a whisper. "We didn't see anything. I'm not getting the council punishment over some silly gossip."The younger guard swallowed and snapped his mouth shut.Maximus burst through the council room doors.Inside, six heads turned. Kalen paused mid-sentence. Eryx's quill hovered o

Ethan~I lay on the bed, my hands wrapped around Lyra's lifeless body. Two days had passed since I'd last eaten, slept, or done anything besides cry and beg for her to wake up. Why couldn't I be happy and be with her? Why were there endless obstacles in our relationship? She was my fated mate, for fuck's sake.But she was also the daughter of the moon goddess, so winning her love wasn't supposed to be easy from the start. What was the use of me staying alive when she was gone? You should've just killed me that night... maybe you would still be alive.I heard the words behind me, but I didn't turn to look. I didn't care who was speaking. I was lost in my own pain."How long has he been like this?" Dominic asked."Two days," Calvin replied. "Thank goodness Ember made this room frozen or her body would begin to deteriorate."A growl rumbled in my chest, but I didn't move. I didn't want to see anyone."We need to start preparing for her burial," Dominic said."No," I growled, my voice ba
