IRA’S POV

I woke up in a room which smells of expensive burnt cedarwood and smoked leather and something unfamiliar filled my lungs as I slowly blinked awake. Every muscle in my body ached like I’d been run over, stomped on and stitched together with wire.

A fireplace crackled somewhere behind me. Warmth kissed my skin. The fabric of the shirt clung to my skin. Wait…. Shirt? I looked down on myself and realized that I was not in my clothes. The shirt on me does not belong to me. It was oversized, black and smelled familiar, like ashwood and something intoxicating.

I sat up too fast, gasping as pain climbed through my side. That’s when my eyes fell on him.

Alpha Lucian.

Standing tall in the corner, still and strong.

“You’re awake,” he said, his voice heavy like stone.

I stared at him. Then, at myself. My mouth felt dry. The space felt too intimate for only the two of us to exist despite being vast enough to fit fifty people at once.

“Where–”

“You’re safe.” He announced and took a

    IRA'S POV “Alpha Ares is not happy with you leaving.” Myra commented, standing with her arms crossed over her chest, wearing an unreadable expression.“He doesn’t want his Luna to go and live with another Alpha.” She added, desperately. I dropped my suitcase on the floor and straightened my spine, holding her venomous gaze, “Oh, so now he cares?” I raised a brow, mockingly. Myra rolled her eyes, “He always cared, Ira. You are the one making a big deal out of something so trivial. Alpha Ares can practice polygamy. You know, it’s normal among the Alphas.” The audacity of this woman would make me fucking strangle her one day. The only reason I am trying to keep myself as far away from conflict as possible is because I do not want to risk the health of my pup.I scoffed, “Guess what, Myra? I am not going to sit and be insulted like I mean nothing in the name of something as problematic as polygamy. He doesn’t have my consent for this shit.”“Mind your words, Ira!” She shouted, glaring

    LUCIAN'S POVTurned out my cousin, Medina, is a high school friend of the broken and betrayed Luna. Once the party came to an end, Medina, my beta and I were invited for dinner so we could discuss business afterwards. But I am already cursing the minute because the constant whining of Myra about her pup is annoying the fuck out of me. And, like a fool, Ares follows her every command, blindly, like she is the one he vowed to love, cherish and protect. I wonder if Myra has casted a witch spell on the idiot. My eyes gravitated towards the beautiful luna, playing with her food absentmindedly and seeing the look of hurt flash across her I wanted to shake the fucker and knock some sense into his hollow brain. ‘Connection.’ My wolf whispered, ‘I feel a connection.’I tried to ignore the constant nagging of my wolf and how absurd his statement sounds when Luna Ira is already married. “Stop staring at her,” Medina whispered beside me, eyes shining with excitement. I arched an eyebrow, “Ob

    IRA'S POVMyra is a goddamn piece of art with her skills to annoy people to the limit that they would start wishing for their own demise just to escape the hell she personally creates for them. And, unlike what I thought, Lucian has more in common with Myra than anyone else. Even Ares is better than Lucian. At least, he didn't abandon his pack when they were under attack. Though, our pack hasn't been fortunate enough to not be attacked by anyone so far. But I know, he won't leave the members of the pack to die when under attack. “If I were you, I'd watch my words, Alpha Ares.” Alpha Lucian's beta stepped in, glaring at Ares like he is stopping himself from using violence to make Alpha Ares understand. Ares rolled his eyes, discreetly and before he could make things worse with his mouth, his beta stepped up. “Alpha Ares, we can not afford to be on the bad side of Alpha Lucian.” he whispered in his ear so that only he could hear. And just like that, Ares bent to the situation like hi

    IRA’S POVAlpha Lucian is the kind of man who commands attention in a room with his presence alone. His tall and muscular frame occupies more space than necessary, because of him, the hall looks funny. Every woman in the hall has their eyes on her, including Myra, who gawks at him like she is ready to sink her claws in his skin and replace it with the same violent and manipulative fabric she is made of. Leaving me behind, Ares charges towards the guest, Myra clinging to his arm as they welcome him together, “Welcome, Alpha Lucian.”Myra plasters her poisonously sweet smile, batting her lashes at him. She said, “It’s nice to have you at my pup’s celebration party.”Alpha Lucian frowned at her, displeased, shifting his focus to Alpha Ares he asked, “Who is she?”I hold back a snicker at his blatant disrespect. Alpha Ares pressed his lips in a thin line, searching for the right words to express his illegitimate relationship with my twin sister. But before he can say something, Myra chim

    “Your pup is safe, Luna Ira.” Nate informed me after a brief checkup and I heaved out a breath in relief, I didn’t realize I was holding. “For now.” Nate added, concern obvious on his face.My brows pinched, “What.. why?”Sighing, he takes a seat on the chair right across from me. “It’s a subchorionic bleed,” he muttered, eyes narrowing, “Not fatal. Not yet. But you must rest, Luna. If your spirit cracks again, the baby may not survive the storm inside you.”My fingers trembled as they shifted to rest possessively on my belly, “What should I do?”“Given your suggestion, I would suggest you get separated from Alpha Ares as soon as possible or stop letting his words affect you.” A pause. “Or, I am afraid to say that your pup would face the consequences.”After getting some medications for precautionary measures, I left his house and by the time I arrived at the mansion, it sparkled with joy and light. My heart twisted, not from envy, but grief. My pup deserved this. My child was not a sh
