LOGINI caught him red handed with his tongue in his mistress’ mouth on the night we were told I could never give birth. He humiliated me and made me a laughing stock. To spite him, I had a one-night stand with a handsome stranger who was the hotter version of him. On the night our pack is almost burnt down to shreds, my husband is asked to pick one person to save, and he picks her! His mistress! Condemning me to death even after everything I did for him! That is when he erupts from the shadows. HIM, the man who dared to go against the army of the great Redmoon, and the man I had a one-night stand with. “You disappoint me, brother. Father would turn in his grave for your cowardice.” He says to my husband. He is my husband’s brother, an illegitimate son of the late alpha king. He has returned out of spite for his father to possess everything the royal family has ever owned; and that includes me. He is the definition of evil and cruel, but immorality has never looked or tasted so good.
View MoreLyra's POV I had known fear before, I had known pain before, but nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared me for the moment my body tightened around a burning ache and I collapsed in Ava’s kitchen.I had gone to visit her since that had been my routine in the last couple of months. Xavier hadn't fully forgiven her yet, but at this point, I liked to think it was safe to say that the relationship between them was slowly coming together. I didn't mind playing the role of an intermediary between them because just as I was trying my best to reconcile Xavier with his mother, I was actually enjoying the woman's company. One moment I was laughing with her, sipping tea, feeling Xavier’s warmth lingering from the morning kiss he’d pressed to my forehead before heading out for his Alpha duties, and the next, the cup fell from my hand, shattered, and a sharp, twisting agony tore through me like claws dragging through my womb.“Ava…” I gasped, grabbing the edge of the table. “Ava, something’s w
Xavier’s POV I never believed redemption was a real thing. At least not for men like me. I didn't believe it was for men shaped out of abandonment, violence, and rage, nor for a creature who clawed his crown out of the ashes of those who wronged him.But when Lyra had stood there in my mother's cabin all these weeks ago, bloody, shaking, terrified, and still whispered the words “Let me stand by you. Let me love you.” it had bromen me beyond compare. A single sentence, and the world I knew cracked down the middle. Since the night she confessed, something had shifted in me, slowly and painfully, like thaw breaking in the heart of winter. I didn’t trust it at first, didn’t trust myself. But Lyra she believed.Every time she touched her belly, every time she looked at me without fear, every time she said my name like it wasn’t something cursed, and as crazy as it sounded, I felt myself changing.And so, for the first time in my life, I forced myself to face the one thing I had alwa
Xander's POV I wasn’t supposed to hear her voice, not like this, not in that tone, and definitely not saying those words. But fate was cruel, and apparently so was the universe, because I reached the clearing at the exact moment her voice cracked through the open doorway of the small wooden house.I didn't want to believe it, but with how Much those words had echoed in my ears the moment I heard them, I liked to think it was hard to ever forget them. For the next couple of seconds, everything around me seemed to come to a halt. My breathing stopped and with each passing second, I could swear I felt my body shutting down. Did I really come all the way here for this? Did I really really murder that guard after he'd told me gave Intel to Xavier as well? Just to see this? A million and one thoughts ran through my head all at once, but apparently, it was nothing for my body. My boots froze mid-step as I listened even closer. “…whatever you choose, I’ll stand by you.”Her voice trem
Xavier’s POV The forest went silent the moment I stepped into the clearing, and I wasn't sure how i felt about that. On one hand, it was almost poetic. The forest bowing because they recognized my power and what not, and on the other hand, I couldn't help but feel like the quietness around me signaled something else. Danger, maybe., but not to me.I shook the thought away before it could fester into something else. I'd literally walked through the eye of the needle, just to get here and the last thing I wanted would be for me to realize I was too late. This village, settlement or whatever would burn. That's for sure. A small sigh slid past my lips as I pushed the thoughts out of my head again. This time, and like a child clinging to its mother, I felt the air around me become quiet immediately. Well, not quiet, but almost silent.Like the trees themselves had stopped breathing, like the world folded in on itself, bracing for something it already knew was coming.My boots sank in
Lyra's POV Xavier’s hands closed around my arms before I even had time to breathe. His grip on me wasn't harsh neither was it possessive. Hell, in a twisted sense of things, it almost felt comforting in a way, and maybe, just maybe if I hadn't just heard the worst thing in my life, I would ha
Xavier’s POV It has been two days since the summons, two solid days since I'd been losing my mind, and from the looks of things, it didn't look like things would be clearing up anytime soon. Two days since the council dared call for Lyra like she was some pawn they could move around a board,
Xavier’s POV Helena didn’t speak as we walked down the corridor, but she didn’t have to. Her silence was the kind that filled every inch of space, like a noose waiting for the right moment to pull tight, and I would be a fucking liar if I said I didn't hate it. It pressed around me like I had
Lyra's POV The moment Cassian spoke Helena’s name, the temperature in the room dropped.Xavier’s entire body went rigid, every muscle drawn tight beneath his shirt like he was preparing for war, or remembering one.He didn’t look at me, not first and I wasn't sure how I felt about that. Inste
