Goodbye Alpha, You Can Never Win Me Back Chapter 46: Northern Alpha's scent on you.
Lyra POVOur fingers met, and the last thread of restraint between us snapped.He pulled me across the three feet of cave floor, and his mouth found mine in the dark. His lips curved as they lowered to mine, swallowing them with raw hunger as I returned the kiss. I didn’t think about my action or weigh it as I usually would. This was possibly the most irresponsible thing I had done since I walked out of Ashford Dominion Pack with nothing but a bag of old clothes and a worn necklace. My body moved without consulting my brain, and my brain, for once in my life, didn't object.His hands cupped my face — rough palms, scarred knuckles, gentle despite the desperation. He kissed me like I was water and he had been dying of thirst, his lips moving against mine with an intensity that sent fire cascading down my spine and pooling low in my stomach.I gripped the front of his torn shirt and pulled him closer. My back hit the cave wall, and the cold stone was a shock against my overheated skin,
Goodbye Alpha, You Can Never Win Me Back Chapter 45: Halfway.
Lyra POVThe silence that followed the rogues' departure was almost worse than the noise.Without the snarling, the crashing, and the desperate pounding of my heart to fill it, the cave shrank, and I realized for the first time since we crawled into it that the space was small — barely wide enough for two people standing shoulder to shoulder, with a low ceiling that forced Jaxon to duck his head. Rough stone walls pressed in from every side, still damp with moisture that caught the faint moonlight filtering through the cave's narrow mouth.And Jaxon was pressed against me.In the scramble to get inside, we had ended up with my back flat against his chest, his body curved around mine, both of us wedged into the deepest part of the cave where the shadows were thickest. His breathing was ragged against the top of my head. I could feel the rise and fall of his chest against my shoulder blades — fast at first, then gradually slowing as the adrenaline drained from his system.My heart was s

Lyra POVDorian's body slammed into mine before I could process what was happening.He shoved me behind him with one arm, his other hand already tearing open the collar of his jacket as his wolf surged beneath his skin. His eyes blazed gold, scanning the tree line, where the shadows had come alive.They poured from the forest like a tide — dozens of rogue wolves, grey and black and mottled brown, bursting through the garden perimeter in a wave of snarls and gnashing teeth. They weren't organized the way pack wolves moved. They were frantic, chaotic, driven by hunger. Their eyes caught the lantern light as they flooded the garden, and my blood turned to ice.Their eyes were hollow.The same vacant, empty stare I had seen in the bathroom vision. Wolves without wolves. Bodies running on instinct with nothing behind them.The garden shattered into pandemonium.Tables overturned. Crystal glasses exploded against the flagstones. Delegates screamed, scrambling from their chairs, some shiftin
Goodbye Alpha, You Can Never Win Me Back Chapter 43: Rogues at the perimeter.
Lyra POVThe south terrace looked like something out of a painting.Long tables stretched beneath the old fruit trees, draped in white linen and lit by hundreds of amber lanterns that swayed gently in the evening breeze. Crystal glasses caught the light. Platters of roasted meats, grilled vegetables, and delicacies from every province in the region lined the buffet. The string quartet had been replaced by a full ensemble — their music drifting across the garden like warm honey, weaving between conversations and laughter and the soft clink of glasses being raised in toasts.I entered on Dorian's arm, wearing the royal blue gown I had chosen during the shopping trip — the one with the fitted bodice and the flowing chiffon that concealed my stomach beneath layers of fabric. The Moonshard crest hung warm against my collarbone. The concealment was locked tight. I had checked it twice before leaving my room and once more at the top of the stairs.After this morning, I wasn't taking any chan
Goodbye Alpha, You Can Never Win Me Back Chapter 42: What do you want?
Jaxon POVThe color drained from Vivienne's face. It happened slowly, like a tide pulling out, leaving behind something pale and exposed and very, very afraid."You're lying," she whispered, shaking her head. “Asher would ot act like that. He knows that Lyra Hartlery, his mate is death. The Alpha King’s daughter, just happen to be her namesake.”“You think?” I scoffed. “I know you asked us to plant a body so it would pass as Asher’s ex, but correct me if I am wrong. They were fated mates. I think Asher would know if his mate is dead or not, and since then, we’ve not been able to find her. So maybe Lyra Moonshard is still Lyra Hartley.”“Y-You bloody liar!” she fumed. “He was taken to the holding cells for an entirely different reason. He told me he had acted with insurbodination—”“Insurbodnation my foot!” I laughed. “Your fiancée lied to you, Vivienne. He was taken to the holding cells because of the assault on Lyra Moonshard. You can verify that yourself." I drained the last of my w

Jaxon POVThe garden was already filling when I stepped onto the south terrace.Lanterns hung from the old fruit trees in strings of amber light, casting warm pools across the white-draped tables and the clusters of delegates milling between them. The scent of roasted meat and fresh bread drifted from the buffet line, mingling with the heavier undercurrent of wine, perfume, and competing Alpha pheromones. A string quartet played somewhere near the fountain, their music barely audible beneath the steady hum of conversation.I grabbed a plate, loaded it with two slices of honeycake and a pastry I didn't recognize, and ate standing up near the buffet table. My eyes moved across the garden with the practiced casualness of someone admiring the decorations while taking in every face, every exit, every shadow along the tree line where, somewhere in the darkness, twelve of my men were already in position.But there was still no sign of Vivienne yet.I had sent the message an hour ago via one
