Lyra

“Jay… drive.”

My voice was steady, but inside I was falling apart. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking, and I couldn’t tell if it was from fear, exhaustion, or the truth clawing at my chest.

Jay’s knuckles tightened on the steering wheel, his jaw tensing as he stared at the police officers blocking our way. “But—” he started, uncertain.

I cut him off, my eyes fixed on his, demanding. “Officers, she needs to get to the hospital. Let the interrogation wait until later.” My tone was sharper than I intended, but my desperation leaked through every word.

The younger officer, studied me for a long second. His eyes scanned Mirae’s pale face in the backseat before he finally sighed. “Alright. You can go. But we’ll talk later.”

Relief surged through me, but my heart still pounded as Jay pressed his foot on the accelerator. The car rolled forward, and I leaned back in the seat, forcing myself to breathe, though every inhale shook with suppressed panic.

Mirae needed help. That was all that matte

    NickBen shook his head, his face pale. “I don’t know, Alpha.”I clenched my jaw, my fingers curling into fists. Every instinct in me wanted to finish what I started to end Rixa and be done with her madness. But reality forced its way in, cold and cruel.“Take her,” I said finally, my voice hard. “Take her to the doctors immediately.”Ben hesitated. “Alpha—l…”“I don’t care what you think,” I snapped. “I don’t want her dead. We need her. Find out what’s wrong with her and report back to me.”He nodded quickly and motioned for the guards to move.As they lifted Rixa’s convulsing body, I turned away. I couldn’t stand the sight of her anymore.“I need to go back to Lyra,” I muttered, my steps were fast, uneven, my chest tight as I walked back down the hallway. The adrenaline faded with every step, I pushed the door open.Lyra was already awake, sitting upright on the bed. Her hair fell loosely around her shoulders, her face pale but alive. The sight of her made something in my chest loos

    Nick“Wow…you really came before me.I stared at the elders, my lips curling slightly, not in amusement but in disbelief. They stood there like statues, faces stiff, eyes carefully avoiding mine, as if they already knew I was about to flip the situation on its head.“If you want me to get married to her,” I said slowly, my voice calm but sharp beneath the surface, “fine. I don’t have a problem with that.”The moment the words left my mouth, I saw surprise in their faces.All three flickered across their old faces.“But,” I continued, lifting a finger, “that means I take her with me.”Their brows furrowed instantly.“Everywhere,” I added. “She stays under my watch, and with me..”The elders exchanged glances, silent conversations passing between them through narrowed eyes and tight mouths. One of them swallowed hard.“Yes… of course,” the first elder said finally. “That is acceptable.”Another nodded. “You must take her. She belongs to you now.”Belongs….The word tasted bitter.I turne

    Nick“Alpha… be careful so you don’t fall..” Ben’s voice came from behind me, strained and breathless, but I didn’t slow down. I didn’t even hear the rest of what he said. At that moment, the floor could crack open beneath my feet and I still wouldn’t care.My hand slammed against the door, pushing it open so hard it hit the wall with a dull thud, I rushed in, she was still lying on the bed.For half a second, my heart dropped again, hard and violent, like it had been doing for days. Her body was still, her face pale against the white sheets, lashes resting quietly against her cheeks.Then…her fingers moved as Ben had said, I had seen it now with my own eyes, I froze.My breath caught painfully in my throat, like my lungs forgot how to work. My eyes stayed glued to her hand, afraid that if I blinked, it would stop again and I’d lose my mind completely.“She moved,” I whispered, my voice cracking without permission.I started pacing, my steps uneven, my hands running through my hair o

    Nick“What… Alpha… what did you just say?” Ben’s voice came out low and unsteady, like he wasn’t sure he wanted the answer, his eyes flicked from my face to Lyra’s motionless body, then back to me again, hiis breathing had slowed, careful, like he was standing in front of something that might explode.“You heard me right,” I said, my voice calm in a way that scared even me. “I’m going to bite her. I’ll turn her into a wolf and a vampire.”The words settled heavily in the room, Ben took a step closer, his mouth opening like he wanted to argue, then he stopped. His shoulders stiffened. His lips pressed together.“Alpha…” he started, then stopped again.I moved closer to him until he couldn’t avoid my gaze. “No,” I said quietly. “Say it.”He swallowed. “Say what?”“What you were about to say.”Ben looked away. “Nothing.”I let out a short, humorless chuckle. “You’ve never been good at lying.”He hesitated, then exhaled slowly. “I forgot,” he muttered.I shook my head slightly, the corner

    NickBen dropped to his knees immediately, the sound echoed in the room, fear carved itself across his face, draining it of color. His hands pressed flat against the floor, his shoulders shaking as he bowed so low his forehead nearly touched the ground. The sword was still at his neck. I hadn’t moved it yet “I’m sorry, Alpha,” Ben said, his voice trembling. “Please forgive me. Please… show mercy.”I stared down at him, my grip tight, my arm steady. The blade rested against his skin like a promise waiting to be fulfilled. I watched every twitch of his jaw, every swallow, every breath he struggled to control, one wrong word…..just one.“I’m sure she isn’t dead yet,” Ben rushed out, desperation thick in his voice. “I’ll call a doctor. I swear. I’ll get the best one.”Something inside me shifted, just slightly and I exhaled slowly, the sword slipped from my hand and hit the floor with a sharp clatter, the sound slicing through the tension. Ben flinched as if he’d been struck, gasping li

    Nick“What do you mean she isn’t breathing?”The words tore out of me, sharp and broken. My hands were already moving before Ben could answer, fumbling and shaking as I pressed my fingers against her nose, then her lips.But I felt nothing, no warmth, no breath brushing my skin and immediately my chest collapsed inward.No, this couldn’t be happening. I refused to accept this! This can't be! She must still be alive…she can't just die. No! My hands frantically moved to my hair, and then moved frantically, touching her face, her neck, her shoulders, like maybe I’d missed something, like maybe my hands were wrong, her skin was cold and that fear crawled straight into my bones.“Wake up,” I said hoarsely, panic cracking my voice. “Lyra… wake up.”I shook her gently at first, then harder, my hands trembling as I cupped her face. Her head lolled to the side, lifeless, and something inside me screamed.“Wake up!” I shouted, my voice echoing through the forest like a wounded animal’s cry, b
