LOGINLyra’s POVI groaned as my eyes slowly fluttered open. My vision was hazy but slowly began to clear up as I tried in vain to sit up. Glancing to my side, I spotted the familiar sight of my table. I was in my room. Thank goodness!I yawned, finally managing to put my right hand over my mouth. My head was heavy, my entire body wracked with a lingering hollow ache. I shut my eyes hard, trying to remember what just happened. The last thing I recalled was the metallic scent of blood and Elayne's panicking voice as she called out to me, asking me not to sleep. It turned out I actually slept. I had never been that good at listening to people anyway. “Lyra…”Elayne's excited voice snapped me out of my thoughts as my eyes opened once again. This time, my vision was clearer. I could properly see her beautiful face as she hurried over to me from the door. “Thank the Goddess! I was starting to get extremely worried about you,” she said, just as she got close to the bed. “Worried? Why? You d
Randall’s POV“Are you sure you don't want to eat anything?” Juan asked as I stepped out of the pack house. “I'm fine. I just want to be left alone to think. When I return to the study, I'll let you know. Until then, please provide me with more information about Max and what he's currently planning. We cannot have him take us unawares.”He nodded and turned to leave but I reminded him, “We are not to attack that man unless he attacks us first. What we want is peace and not another war but if he desires to fight us instead, we must be ready to fulfil his final desires.”He nodded curtly once again and headed back into the pack house as I continued my walk. Ever since Fiona warned me about Lyra's impending labour, I had been plagued by a mounting, inexplicable dread, crawling through my skin so badly that I could barely control my emotions. My wolf was restless, prancing inside me, unable to stay still or let me have any rest. So I decided to leave the pack house and head over to the
Lyra’s POVAs my vision started to fade, Winston lifted me and carried me out of the Ballroom, towards the Chambers with Elayne following closely behind. His face was a mask of sheer terror, his breath ragged as we neared the room. Elayne pushed the door open and he took me in. To my surprise, the midwives were already there alongside the pack doctor, moving sharply as Winston led me to the bed. The witches were there too. They must have informed the midwives even before we started coming. No wonder they weren't in the hall when the pain started. They had probably known this would happen and hurried to make arrangements in time. Placing me on the bed, Winston moved to the side, still holding my hand, allowing the midwives to quickly close in and check on my state. He tried to stay by my side, his hand white-knuckled as he gripped my hand, but the midwives quickly refused. “You need to leave us now, Alpha. You cannot be here,” they said.Reluctantly, he walked out of the room, leav
Lyra’s POV“He kissed me and then gave me a choice,” I vented to Elayne and the sisters. Donna watched my form, standing a bit further from the rest of the ladies, her brow furrowed as she fixed a keen gaze on me. “He… He said I could tell him anything, that I could make any choice I wanted and he was going to go by that choice,” I continued. “I wanted to tell him the truth right there but I couldn't. As soon as he gave me that choice, everything changed completely, and I… I didn't know what to do anymore.”I paused, letting out a forced breath. “I just feel so pressured by all of this,” I complained, my hands lightly trembling with a memory that I couldn't quite shake off no matter how hard I tried to. “I'm not so sure about what I'm supposed to do and I don't want to make the wrong choice.”Elayne and Dina exchanged a mischievous and delighted look with each other before turning back to me, taking a step towards me in unison. “Most pregnant women would kill to be stressed by a h
Randall’s POV“There would be no wedding anymore between Susan and me,” I announced as I stood before the high council in the throne room. “The wedding has been cancelled. I will inform you all about any further changes. Thank you.”The Elders rose from their seats, their faces twisted in indignation. The Chief Elder’s displeasure was more evident than the others as he stamped his staff onto the ground with sheer force. “This is unacceptable,” he said. “We have planned for this wedding. Everything is ready. The guests are on their way to this pack and all of us are dressed for the occasion.”He pointed out the door. “Have you looked outside, Alpha? Your people are ready. You can hear the excitement in their voices. They want to see their Luna Queen. They want to see Susan ascending the throne alongside you.”“You’re making a big mistake,” Dan supported, shaking his head. “Please, have a rethink. This is a catastrophic decision that you're about to make.”“The pack needs the stability
Lyra’s POVNews of the upcoming union with Winston and the mysterious ‘Daisy’ had spread in the pack like wildfire, turning it into a nest of whispers. It was all that most people talked about. I heard it everywhere I went. They didn't even bother to keep their mouths shut in my presence. If anything, the whispers got louder and louder, leaving me very uncomfortable each time I stepped out of the packhouse. The ladies didn't make it any easier for me. They continued yapping about the wedding, trying to find out my favourite colours so they could suggest a style of dress. Thankfully, they knew who I was so no one around me had to call me ‘mysterious’ or give a thousand reasons why I wasn't supposed to be Winston's mate.Not like I wanted to be anyway. If I had my way, I'd have rejected his proposal. Those claims just made me feel less of myself, positioning me as one who was too inferior to be alongside an alpha but I knew one thing… It was simply because I hid my identity from all
Lyra’s POVMy blood boiled as Randall crashed his lips on mine, sticking his filthy tongue deep inside my mouth. I was even more mad at my body for betraying me. Instead of pushing the bastard off, I found myself leaning into the kiss, nearly moaning as he cupped my cheek. As soon as I got myself

Randall’s POVI tried my hardest to hold back but the woman before me was relentless. Years of experience had made her resolute but right now, she was a bit slower than she was in her prime. Despite her desperate attempts to get to me, I held in my rage, electing to play her games for as long as I
