Lyra

“Say it. Say that you’re in love with me.”

The words left Nick’s lips like a command, heavy, sharp, slicing straight into my chest. My breath caught, my throat closed, and before I could stop myself, I shoved him back.

“Stop this!” I shouted, my voice shaking so badly it betrayed me. My lips trembled as I said it, and I hated that he could see how rattled I was.

Nick stood there, his tall frame looming in the dim streetlight, his jaw tight. And then, he scoffed. A small, mocking sound that made my blood boil.

“Why are you scoffing?” I snapped, glaring at him.

“Nothing,” he said flatly, his eyes dark but his tone strangely calm. He raked his fingers through his hair like he was tired of fighting me. “Since you want me to stay away from you… fine. I’ll do it. When your heart is ready, come find me.”

And just like that, he turned and walked away.

I stood frozen, staring after him, my fists trembling. My chest rose and fell in quick, shallow breaths. What? Didn’t he say he was going

    Lyra“How could you say that, Nick? How?!” My voice cracked through the room like glass shattering. I didn’t recognize the sound of it myself. It was sharp, loud, full of something ugly and burning that had crawled up my chest and exploded out of my mouth.Nick’s head snapped toward me. His eyes flashed, dark and stormy, the same way they always did when he was trying to keep control and failing.“Ben,” he said tightly, without looking away from me. “Please take her away for now.”The words hit me harder than any slap.Ben hesitated. I saw it. He shifted on his feet, unsure, glancing between Nick and me like a man caught between two fires. Then he started walking toward me, one cautious step at a time, his hand lifting like he meant to touch my arm.I shot him a glare so sharp it could cut steel.He froze.“So this is how you want it to be, huh?” I screamed, my laugh wild and bitter. “This is what you’ve decided?”“Ben,” Nick barked. “Are you deaf? I said take her away. Now.”Ben swal

    Lyra"Paaarrrrrrr...."A loud sound tore through the building.A loud crash, like something heavy, had slammed into metal.The floor vibrated beneath my feet. Nick stiffened beside me.For half a second, everything froze.Then Ben came running.He burst through the door like the hallway was on fire, breathing hard, eyes wide, panic written all over his face.“Rixa is unconscious.”The words hit me like cold water.My chest tightened. My heartbeat stuttered.“What?” Nick said at the same time I did.“There was a loud noise,” Ben continued, gripping the doorframe like his legs might give out. “We heard a crash from the east wing. When we got there, she was on the floor. Not moving.”Nick was already moving.He released me instantly.The warmth of his hand vanished from mine so fast it felt like I’d imagined it. One second he was standing in front of me, breathing unevenly, his eyes still heavy from the blood he’d coughed earlier…The next, he was walking past me. Straight toward Ben, stra

    Lyra“What do you mean by that?”Nick's voice came out sharper, slicing through the quiet room like a blade. I had barely finished saying we needed to go after Damian when my chest tightened, my heart slamming so hard it made my ears ring.“You want to fight Damian?” Nick stared at me like he’d just told him the sky had fallen. “You know him. You know what he’s capable of. There’s no way I’m letting you fight him. No way.”Nick turned toward me fully, his jaw tightening. His eyes were dark, unreadable, but I could see the tension coiled beneath his calm.“What are you saying to me?” I demanded. “This is insane.”He took a step closer. “Lyra, listen—”“No.” I shook my head, stepping back. “This is to our advantage. I’m not human anymore, Nick. And that is Damian’s fault.” My hands lifted, trembling as I stared at my palms like they belonged to someone else. “I think I have powers now. Real ones. I can help you fight him. I can help you get back at him for everything he’s done to us.”N

    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
