Chapter: Chapter 45ZANE It is nearly ten at night when all the cadets are called back into the training hall. They shuffle in slowly, exhaustion etched into every line of their bodies. The room smells faintly of sweat and disinfectant, and my eyes sweep the room out of habit. Assessing. Evaluating. Cataloguing strengths and weaknesses the way I always do. And then they stop. Lyra. She is freshly showered, I can tell immediately. The hair of her ponytail is still damp, curling softly at the nape of her neck. That beautiful blonde is darker where the water hasn’t fully dried. She has changed into clean training gear, though it doesn’t look like one of her sets. The shirt is oversized, something I have never seen her wear before. Her scent is different now. Muted. Subtle. The rich chocolate note I’ve come to associate with her is quieter, tucked beneath soap and steam. It doesn’t hit me the way it did earlier — when she was soaked in sweat. That scent had slammed into me like a jolt. Yet this one

Chapter: Chapter 44LYRAFor a second, neither of us moves.Nessa’s chest is still rising fast beneath me, sweat-slick and heaving, and my own pulse is finally slowing from war-drums to something human again. Releasing the hold, I roll back onto my heels.I hold a hand out to her. She takes it immediately and her grip of steady. When she gets to her feet, she pulls me into a hug. A real one. It feels firm, and… oddly familiar.Which is… weird. Considering I’ve never hugged her before. Ever.Her chin rests on my shoulder, her arms tight around me, and I stiffen automatically. My every instinct flares, but I force myself to relax. “Hell of an elimination,” she murmurs into my ear.“Yeah,” I mutter, and she laughs softly.She lets go before it gets awkward, thank the goddess.“You may rest while the rest of the cadets continue their eliminations,” one of the judges says, his voice flat as stone. “Once all tests have been completed, you will be called to return.”And just like that, we’re dismissed.No fanf

Chapter: Chapter 43Lyra The hour between tests does this fun little trick where it crawls like it’s dying… and somehow still sprints past when I’m not ready. Nessa and I are sprawled on hard wooden benches in the locker room of the communal training hall, forty minutes into ‘relaxing,’ which mostly involves sweating, overthinking, and slowly going numb from the ass down. We’re waiting outside the stupid hall as this morning. With the same judges. And the same smug energy waiting inside. They’ve been camped out there all day, watching cadets cycle through like entertainment. Probably sipping espresso. Probably judging my posture, my breathing, my existence. The first two cadets are already in for the final test, but every ten minutes, another team gets called in. And of course, the old fucks we call judges make you spar with the same teammate you ran the obstacle course with. Which is a huge problem. Because I’ve never sparred with Nessa. Hell, I haven’t sparred any cadet in what feels like fo

Chapter: Chapter 42LYRAThe next door opens, and I almost groan in relief. Thank fuck the stupid rock maze gave my arms just enough time to stop screaming. They still ache, but it’s the manageable kind now. The kind I can work through. The next room is long and wide, stark and industrial. Targets line the far wall in neat lanes. Along one side, weapons are mounted with almost reverent precision. Knives. Pistols. Bows and arrows. Okay, here we go. Nessa and I start with the knives. We get one lane, one target, and three knives each. Desperate not to waste time we step up together. I focus on my stance and perfecting my grip. We throw simultaneously. Nessa’s knife thuds solidly into the target, but mine barely sticks at the bottom edge. Fuck. I close my eyes and force myself to breathe. ‘Focus. Stop rushing.’ Zane’s commanding voice cuts through my frustration. Goddess help me, it actually calms me down. I pick up the second knife, take a moment to loosen my grip, and throw. It hits the sid

Chapter: Chapter 41LYRAOf course this is what the next obstacle is would be. My arms are already aching in protest, but of course this is what we get.Right in front of us, there are two lanes, side by side, suspended over a large open space.Fucking monkey bars.The bars stretch for at least fifteen meters and they’re spaced just a little farther apart than normal. The drop beneath them isn’t massive, but it’s more than enough to hurt.I glance at Nessa and we both look at the timer, the red numbers rapidly changing. We’re already bleeding seconds.The rope between us is still taut, and my harness is digging painfully into my shoulders. Nessa’s skin around her harness is a bright, angry red, but she doesn’t even flinch as we take our places beneath our lanes.“Ready?” Nessa asks.I nod at her, even though my hands are already shaking. And together we jump. Thank the goddess there seems to be no tricks this time.The first bar holds perfectly.So does the second.I’m hit with a wave of relief as we ra

Chapter: Chapter 40LYRAThe air inside the hall feels different. It is cooler, heavier, almost like it’s been sealed off from the rest of the world. The space is massive, the ceiling so high it disappears into shadows, and for one stupid second I wonder if that’s intentional. Disorientation first. Fear second.Right in front of us stands a tall rock-climbing wall. About fourteen meters of jagged stone bolted into reinforced steel.I exhale slowly through my nose, and shake my shoulders loose. A rock wall is doable.More than doable.Climbing a rock wall is fucking easy. Nessa and I exchange a quick glance, before both looking up at the massive digital timer mounted high against the far wall. There are four red zeroes on the clock, and we wait with bated breaths.As soon as the buzzer sounds and the timer starts, we sprint the hundred meters toward the rockwall. I immediately feel the rope tug as Nessa falls half a step behind. She’s strong, and sure she takes bigger steps, but she’s still not as fast

Her Alpha's Secret
“We shouldn't do this,” I gasp as his hand slips beneath my dress, his hot breath brushing my ear.
“You can say that all you want, but you're already dripping for me.” His grip on my thighs tightens. “So let me ruin you—slow, deep, and on every surface in this room.”
A moan escapes me—and then he lifts me.

Nova Kingsley is a 24-year-old she-wolf with a legacy soaked in blood and secrets.
She made peace with control. Power kept her safe. Duty kept her distant. Love? That was a luxury for wolves who didn't carry kingdoms on their shoulders.
Then came the Weston brothers.
Nate is kind, loyal, and the younger brother offering the future she needs.
But Alex? The Alpha-heir is untamed, dangerously intense, and utterly forbidden.
His gaze unravels her. His touch threatens to consume her. And when they collide, the world shifts. Stars tremble. The gods remember.
Bound by a divine blessing and trapped in an ancient prophecy, Nova and Alex are more than star-crossed—they’re caught in the middle of a war between goddesses, where fate is weaponized and love is a battlefield.
As a deadly threat rises from the shadows and war brews on all sides, Nova must choose between the mate she can have… and the one her soul was created for.
Because some bonds are sacred. Others are damned.
And this one? It's both.

Chapter: PrologueLyra Six Months Later Selene gave birth to an awesome baby boy. Aaron Nathaniel Weston. A strong little fucker, let me tell you that. Practically born glowing. And yes, Selene wanted the entire family in the room for the grand event, so I got front-row seats to trauma. The wailing, the magic, the tears, the screaming. I may never emotionally recover. Aaron came out fists swinging and eyes blazing. He’s got the same dark aura as his mother. He’s definitely another banshee, but with Nate as his father? Who the fuck knows what kind of terrifying hybrid that kid’s going to grow into. The creepy energy around him crackles sometimes. Honestly? I kinda love the little demon. Meanwhile, Alex and Nova had a little girl. Thank the goddess she only wanted Alex and the doctor in the room for it. Nova gave birth like she does everything else — controlled, powerful, low-key. Little Charlotte. Who is absolutely going to end up being called Charlie. That kid is perfect. Creamy skin

Chapter: Sight and SorcerySight and Sorcery Nova The Alpha home’s courtyard is transformed. The marble walls of the estate glow with fairy lights, suspended in the air like stars. Music pulses from the grand hall. Gold and green banners twist together in massive hanging displays, now carrying the Arcane Oracle sigil. And it looks incredible. I stop for a moment, drawn in. The sigil is like nothing I’ve ever seen. It’s an impossible blend of two legacies that were never meant to coexist. At the centre, a glowing blue eye stares out from a web of radiant lines and sharp geometry, like it’s watching me... no, judging me. That’s the Oracle half—the magic of prophecy and truth. But it’s wrapped in the Arcane. The sharp star sigil we’ve always known is there. It is eight-pointed and etched with runes so old even our oldest witches whisper when they speak their names. Symbols coil outward in a perfect circle, with moons, pentagrams, and green-rooted glyphs, bound together by swirls of magic carved like vines

Chapter: The OathThe OathNovaLyra is tense.And it’s slightly terrifying.I have no idea what could possibly rattle the girl who fought Wendigos in human form. With a dagger. In heels. But here we are.I can hear it, not just in the hitch of her breath or the too-fast rhythm of her pulse, but in the way she applies her eyeliner. Controlled. Almost… too controlled.She acts unfazed, of course. Her brows are arched, she keeps her lips pursed, and she’s now humming softly as she blends her highlighter like it’s the most important task in the world. But something is up.And as much as I am dying to know what, I know she won’t tell me. Not tonight. Not with all these eyes about to be on us.Tonight is the official Co-Alpha Initiation ceremony. Something we probably should have done weeks ago. But we weren’t ready.Not after the blood.Not after the funeral pyres.Not while half our people were still sleeping on borrowed pillows and grieving their dead.But now…Alex has marked me.The bond is sealed.The

Chapter: Round OneLyraI'm wandering through the fucking hallways… again.Something I've been doing way too often since the battle. What the fuck is wrong with me? Everything inside me is screaming to run into the forest and take down an animal, anything, as long as I can tear something apart. Rip it to shreds.Shit, I need to get this under control. I am not some feral, disgusting woodland creature that needs to hunt. Besides, doing that would only ruin my nails, and I just got them done two days ago. Although I did go for red... perhaps you wouldn't even see the blood. Before I go too far down that train of thought I hear movement in the hallways downstairs. Obviously warrior Leon, I could recognise that icky sweaty scent of his anywhere.From what I can tell, Beta Talia is also there. The faint scent of lavender gives that away. But there is someone else. And they smell fucking mouthwatering. Like fine aged wine. Better than wine. I could lick up every drop of whoever that is, man or woman.

It’s overwhelming, like drowning in the deepest part of the ocean, except instead of water, it’s him surrounding me. I love it.And the thoughts…I found that door. The one in my mind that once kept us separate, allowing me privacy, allowing us to filter what we shared through the bond. But when he marked me, it was like that door was ripped off its hinges.His mind crashed into mine like a tidal wave, and suddenly, every stray thought, every flicker of emotion—it is all there.Including the mental link that came through just now.The message wasn’t meant for me, yet I heard it as clearly as if I’d received it myself."Alpha Alexander, there is someone at the border asking for entrance."The request wasn’t alarming at first.

I gasp, my nails dig into his back, desperate to pull him closer.He strips out of the rest of his clothes in seconds. My thighs fall open instinctively, and he settles between them, his hand guiding himself to my entrance, teasing me with the head of his cock.He drags it through my slick folds, slow, deliberate, groaning at the feel of me. I writhe beneath him, trying to push down, to take him in, but he holds me still. “Patience, love.”He presses in, just the tip at first, stretching me inch by agonizing inch. His jaw clenches, muscles trembling with the effort to stay slow.“Fuck, Nova…” he groans, burying his face in my neck. I cling to him, legs wrapping around his waist, heels digging into the small of his back, urging him deeper.He obliges.One powerful thrust, and he’s fully inside me.We stay like that for a heartbeat—still, connected, overwhelmed—until I shift beneath him, nee
