Lyra

The moment his hand steadied me, the moment his voice broke through the chaos, “You’re okay, babe?” I felt my whole chest tighten.

And that was exactly why I pulled away.

I stepped back sharply, tearing myself from his warmth, from the way he held me like I was the only thing that mattered. “Don’t touch me again,” I said, my voice firmer than I actually felt. My cheeks burned, betraying me, because the truth was, I had blushed when he called me babe. My heart had skipped when he came for me, right on time, like some unshakable force who knew when I needed him most.

But I couldn’t let him see any of that.

He didn’t say anything. He just stared at me, wide-eyed, like he was trying to read me, to memorize me. His expression was awe, confusion, something deeper I couldn’t bring myself to name.

“I’ll handle it myself,” I snapped, folding my arms tight across my chest like armor. My eyes avoided his, staring anywhere but at him. “We don’t have anything together. Stay out of this. This

    Lyra“Nick…” The word barely made it past my lips.“There’s no way this is possible,” I whispered, my voice breaking into uneven fragments. “How on earth… what’s happening to me…?”My chest rose and fell too fast, my heart slamming against my ribs like it was trying to escape my body.Nick moved before I even realized it. He crossed the space between us in two strides, his boots scraping lightly against the floor.“It’s happening already,” he said, his voice low but urgent. His eyes searched my face like he was afraid I might shatter in front of him. “It’s real, Lyra. You’re not human anymore."Something inside me snapped. “Shut up!” I screamed, the words tearing out of my throat. “It can’t be! It can’t be!”My hands fisted in his shirt, gripping the fabric so hard my knuckles burned. I shoved him once, twice, my vision blurring.“What have you done to me?” I yelled, my voice cracking into something raw and ugly. “What the hell did you do to me? What!?”For a split second, I expected

    Lyra“I love you…” I whispered, my hands still cradling his face, my thumbs resting along his jaw like they belonged there.The words felt fragile and powerful at the same time. Nick's hands came up slowly, hesitantly, as if he was afraid I might disappear if he touched me too fast. His fingers brushed my wrists, then slid upward, warm and unsteady, cupping my hands against his face, His eyes were dark, a little lost.Then he leaned in and our lips met again, softer this time, slower. Not desperate like before, this was careful. As if we were both afraid the moment might break if we moved too quickly.I sighed into the kiss without realizing it.His mouth tasted familiar, like something my body remembered even when my mind didn’t fully catch up. His lips moved gently against mine, and when his tongue brushed my lower lip, a shiver ran through me.I responded instinctively.Our tongues met, slow at first, then deeper, warmer. My fingers tightened against his face, my heart pounding s

    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
