dear Alpha, my twins are no longer yours
Five years ago, Lyra Sterling walked away from the man she loved.
she spent three years trying to earn the love of Alpha Kaelen Ashthorn, only to watch him choose his first love over her.
So Lyra left without begging, fighting, or looking back.
Five years later, Lyra returns to Black Ridge City as President of Silver Crescent Holdings, a powerful businesswoman who built an empire from nothing while raising her children alone.
She returns to win the biggest investment deal of her career and finally end the marriage that should have ended five years ago.
But the moment she steps back into Kaelen's world, the life she fought so hard to leave behind begins pulling her back in.
Kaelen suddenly wants her attention.
Her children are inexplicably drawn to him.
And for the first time, Lyra finds herself caught between two men.
Kaelen is the husband who broke her heart and now seems determined to prove that he has changed.
Cassian Nightvale is the powerful Alpha who sees her strength, respects her independence, cherishes her children, and gives her the kind of love she once begged Kaelen for.
Lyra promised herself she would never become that heartbroken woman again.
But when a dangerous attack puts one of her children in the hospital, buried secrets begin to surface.
And someone has been hunting Lyra and her children for a reason far more dangerous than revenge.
Now Lyra must protect the family she built, uncover the secrets surrounding her children's bloodline, and decide whether the man who once broke her heart deserves another chance at it.
Because this time, Lyra isn't the woman waiting to be chosen.
She is the woman two Alphas are willing to fight for—and the only one who gets to decide who stays.

Chapter: CHAPTER 5Kaelen's POVThe divorce papers remained on the table between us and I couldn't bring myself to say anything.I looked at the familiar words printed across the first page.PETITION FOR DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE Five years ago, Lyra had sent me these same papers but I never signed them and now she had brought them herself.She stood quietly across from me. There was no anger in her eyes. No sadness. She simply looked... finished."I think this is what both of us wanted," she said calmly."Is it?" I asked looking up."Isn't it?" She frowned slightly.I didn't answer because I honestly didn't know. Five years ago, I would have signed without thinking twice but now my hand refused to move. Lyra checked the time on her watch."I have another meeting." She picked up her handbag. "Take your time."She turned toward the door. "My lawyer will contact yours."Before I could stop her, she had already walked away. I stood there alone, staring at the papers. Something inside me felt strangely empty

Chapter: CHAPTER 4Kaelen's POV"Three days ago?" I repeated, still in shock."Yes, and she is going to be in the board meeting today." Rowan answered."Oh, wow." I said as I picked up my pen again, but the numbers in front of me no longer made sense.Five years. She had really stayed away for five years.A knock sounded on my office door."Come in." I answered.Selene walked in carrying two cups of coffee."Ehm, I will take my leave now." Rowan said and left the office without waiting for my reply."I heard you've been working since morning." She said and placed one cup on my desk smiling.I already knew what she came to the office to do but I wasn't in the mood to answer her."You should take a break." She added when she saw I was still focused on my work, even though my mind was not there, but I was not going to let her know that."Thank you." I finally replied, giving her a brief smile before going back to my work."I also heard something interesting." She started, sitting across from me. "Lyra is

Chapter: CHAPTER 3Lyra's POVThe private jet landed just after nine in the morning. I looked through the window as the familiar skyline came into view.Black Ridge City.Five years ago, I had left this city with nothing except a broken heart and two tiny lives growing inside me, but today, I was returning with everything I had built on my own."Mom!" Aiden tugged gently on my sleeve. "Are we there already?""Yes." I smiled and nodded."So this is the city you grew up in?" Aria looked out of the window with wide eyes."It is." I answered still smiling."Will we stay here forever?" she asked."No." I brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "We're only here for work."The children nodded at the same time. They had heard that answer many times during the trip. There was no way in hell I was going to stay in Black Ridge City. No way I was going to stay in the same space with Adrian and his beloved Selene.As soon as we stepped out of the airport, my assistant, Nina, greeted us. "Welcome to Black Ridge City

Chapter: CHAPTER 2Lyra's POVThe rain had stopped by the time I walked out of the hospital. The night air felt cold against my skin, but I barely noticed it.My hand rested on my stomach the entire time as I slowly walked to my car.Twins. I was carrying twins.I sat behind the steering wheel without starting the engine. My eyes stayed on the ultrasound picture the doctor had given me.Two tiny lives. Two tiny heartbeats.A small smile appeared on my face before tears blurred my vision again."They're really here," I whispered.Kaelen and I have been trying for a child since we got married but for three years, there was nothing."When exactly did it happen?"

The last time Kaelen and I made love before Selene's sudden miraculous appearance.I placed my hands on my stomach again and for the first time in years, I didn't feel completely alone.I reached for my phone and opened Kaelen's contact. My thumb hovered over the call button.He deser

Chapter: chapter 1Lyra's POVThe mirror reflected a woman who looked calm but only I knew the truth.My hands had been shaking for the last ten minutes as I adjusted the sleeve of my cream-colored dress. I wanted to look nice tonight, even if there was no reason to believe my husband would notice.Today was our third wedding anniversary.Three years ago, I became the Luna of the Black Ridge Pack and the wife of Alpha Kaelen Ashthorn.Everyone said I was the luckiest woman in the pack but only I knew I had spent three years married to a man who had never loved me.I picked up the small cake from the kitchen counter and smiled at the housekeeper."Do you think he'll like it?"
