Lyra’s POV

I sat on the floor near the fireplace, my fingers curled on my laps as pa took a sit opposite me. He was fidgety and kept shifting in his chair.

"Pa, is everything alright? You keep fidgeting." I asked him curiously.

"I'm okay my dear. It's just that I really find it hard to talk about it." Maddox said and then he started.

“Your mother, Rhea, was like you. Kind. Gentle. Too soft for a world that didn’t know how to love softness. They treated her like dirt because she was an omega too. She was quiet, but there was fire in her. I saw it. She reminded me of her mother, my wife.

She was just a girl when they started picking on her. It was cruel, even back then.

But one day, she came home… different.

Her cheeks were flushed. Her eyes brighter.

I asked her why.

She said, "He picked up my books, Papa. He told them to stop."

I didn’t think much of it. Teenagers do reckless things. But weeks passed, and her eyes only grew softer. She looked more alive and happy.

One day, I followed

    Kade’s POVThe surge hit me like a crack of lightning, raw and unrelenting, rattling through the air around the pack grounds. I froze mid-stride, every nerve in my body alert. That wasn’t ordinary energy. It carried something primal, something dangerous. My wolf stirred restlessly beneath my skin, growling for me to move, to find the source.I didn’t need anyone to tell me where it came from. My instincts dragged me straight toward Lyra. Her presence burned like a beacon in the storm, pulling me faster, sharper, until I burst into the clearing and saw her.She was trembling, her chest heaving as if she had been ripped from a nightmare while wide awake. Her eyes darted around like prey sensing a predator, her skin damp with sweat, pale under the moonlight. My chest tightened. Something about her felt… fragile, breakable, and I hated it.“Lyra,” I called, voice rougher than I intended. She jerked her gaze toward me, and for a fleeting second, I swore I saw recognition flash there—as tho

    The morning sun filtered through the curtains like golden threads, wrapping around me with surprising warmth. I blinked at the light, then slowly sat up, surprised to feel... okay. The pain that had consumed me the night before had dulled to a manageable ache. My body was still sore, but I no longer felt like it would tear apart at the seams.“Good morning,” Kade’s voice rumbled gently beside me.I turned to see him seated on a chair by my bedside, his eyes tired but relieved. He looked like he hadn’t left all night.“You stayed,” I whispered, voice still scratchy.He gave a soft chuckle. “You didn’t really give me a choice, did you?”I couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at my lips. “Still. Thank you.”Kade looked at me for a long moment, his gaze lingering like he wanted to say more, but instead, he simply nodded. “You’re safe, Lyra. That’s what matters.”The days that followed were surprisingly peaceful. Kade never left me alone for long. He brought me food, helped me outside

    Lyra’s POVThe door clicked softly behind him as he left.Fresh air.That’s what he’d said.But something in his voice… the tightness in his jaw, the way his eyes avoided mine — I knew he wasn’t just going out for a breath. He was going to Caleb. Maybe to question him, maybe to punish him, maybe just to make sure he wouldn’t come anywhere near me again.I turned my eyes to the ceiling, letting out a soft breath that trembled more than I wanted it to.Then I let them fall shut.Sleep pulled at me, slow and thick like honey. It wrapped around my limbs, dragging me into a quiet nothingness. My body was sore, heavy, but my mind… my mind floated.And in the silence of sleep, she came to me.My mother.She stood in the middle of a sunlit field. The sky above her was soft blue, like a painted dream, and around her, gold-tipped grass swayed with a breeze I couldn’t feel. She wore the white dress I always remembered her in, the one she used to wear on calm afternoons at home. Her long hair shi

    “Step Away From Her.”Caleb froze like someone had yanked the air from his lungs. The whip in his hand dangled midair, trembling.Through my hazy eyes, I saw him turn slowly.And then, there he was.Kade.His black coat billowed behind him like the wings of a beast. His eyes usually cool and unreadable now burned golden, flickering like wildfire.Rivena stood just behind him, her face as sharp as ice. Her eyes locked onto the scene with pure disgust.“A..Alpha?” Caleb stuttered, backing away from me, the whip falling from his hand with a thud.Kade didn’t answer. The growl that came from his chest said everything.Then he moved.One second, Caleb was standing. The next, Kade had him by the throat, slammed up against the far wall with a bone-shaking crash.“You touched her,” Kade growled, his voice nearly unrecognizable.Caleb choked. “I—It wasn’t—what—”Kade snarled, tightening his grip. “You laid your filthy hands on my mate.”Mate.The word echoed in the chamber like a war drum.My

    Darkness.It wrapped around me like a second skin thick, heavy, and endless.My body was numb, but slowly, pain began to creep in like smoke under a locked door. My head pounded, and my arms… god, they ached. My eyes fluttered open.Chains. My wrists and ankles bound, cold steel biting into my skin.Stone walls. A flickering torch. The air was damp, thick with mildew… and blood.I was in a basement or something else.Fear slammed into my chest.Then I heard them, footsteps. Steady. Familiar.And from the shadows… Caleb stepped out.“Caleb?” I croaked. “What… why…?”He didn’t answer right away. His eyes were distant, conflicted, like he was forcing himself to do something his soul hadn't agreed to.“What are you doing?” I whispered.He came closer, crouching in front of me, a hand brushing my cheek.“I never wanted this, Lyra,” he murmured.“Then why?” I asked. “Why are you doing this?”He hesitated.I saw it — the flicker of guilt in his eyes.And then… his voice changed.“I’m sorry i

    Lyra’s POVI walked to my locker first, carefully placing my things inside. My fingers brushed over the worn edge of my textbook, the only one I actually liked and I pulled it out, holding it against my chest as I slammed my locker shut.Walking to class, the hallway was quieter than usual. Most students had already disappeared into their classrooms, the air still heavy with what happened earlier.I turned the corner and saw caleb. I frozeHe was walking straight towards me.My heart skipped. Not in the way it used to. Not with longing. But with confusion… and caution.I blinked, wondering if maybe someone else was behind me. But no, the hallway was nearly empty. His eyes were locked on me.He stopped right in front of me.His expression… it wasn’t smug or cruel or detached like it had been that night.It was pleading.“Lyra—”I didn’t wait. I turned sharply, determined to leave. I didn’t have the energy to entertain whatever game he was playing.But before I could take a step, his ha
