Nicholas POV:

The cool night air did nothing to cool the heat under my skin,it only added to it . I was so restless tonight.

Unlike me. Very unlike me.

I walked towards the edge of the camp,where mighty trees swallowed up the moonlight, leaving nothing but darkness. And I stood there with my hands in my pockets, cigarette on my lips,jaw clenched so tight my teeth bit into the cigarette.

Silver fire.

I had heard stories as a child. Tales about wolves that we're blessed by the Moon Goddess herse

  • His Fear Her Becoming    Chapter 28 – The Last Day

    Aiden's POVShe came to the war room at dawn, exactly as she'd promised. No Nicholas trailing behind her this time. Just Lyra, her hair still damp from washing, dressed in the leathers that Raven had given her, instead of anything that belonged to the pack.I tried not to notice how well they suited her."You wanted to talk battle plans," she said, stopping at the edge of the table. Not crossing it,she kept the wood between us like a wall she'd built on purpose."I did." I cleared my throat and forced my eyes to the map instead of her face. "The scouts spotted the first of the Rogue King's forces moving through the northern pass last night. If they keep that pace, they'll reach the valley by tomorrow's dusk. Right as the blood moon rises.""Of course they will." Her mouth twisted, bitter. "He's always had a flair for theater.""You know him.""I know what twenty years of hatred does to a person who used to be an Alpha." She moved closer to the map, studying the markers Grayson had pin

  • His Fear Her Becoming    Chapter 27 – What The Fire Remembers

    Lyra's POVI didn't sleep.Not because of Aiden, though his face kept surfacing in my mind no matter how many times I pushed it under. It was the bond. Even faint and frayed as it was, it pulsed against my ribs all night like a second, struggling heartbeat, and every time it stuttered, I felt it in my teeth.By the time the sky turned gray, I was already dressed and standing outside Raven's borrowed tent, watching the pack wake around me.They didn't look at me the way they used to.There was no sneering, no whispered "omega" passed between cupped hands. Now they looked at me like I was something they didn't have a name for yet. Not enemy. Not quite pack. Something standing in the doorway between both."You look like you haven't slept," Nicholas said, appearing beside me with two cups of something hot. He handed me one without asking if I wanted it, which was, I was starting to realize, simply how he loved people."I haven't.""Aiden?""The bond." I wrapped my hands around the cup,

  • His Fear Her Becoming    Chapter 26 – She Was Here

    Aiden's POVShe walked out of my office without looking back."I wish you won't make my staying here harder than it already is."Her words cut deeper than any blade could.I stood there for a long moment, staring at the door she had disappeared through. The map was still spread across the table. The candles were still burning. But everything felt colder than before.She was here. Lyra was here,and yet she felt so far away. And she even came with another man.The rogue. Nicholas. The way he had stood by the door, watching me like a wolf protecting his territory. The way he had growled at me—growled—like I was the enemy.Like I was the one who didn't belong in my own pack, made me feel all sorts of emotions that I didn't like."Alpha."Grayson's voice pulled me from my thoughts. I hadn't heard him enter,I have been so distracted these days that I'm hardly aware of the presence of someone."What?""The rogues are settling in the eastern barracks. Lyra requested a tent near the training y

  • His Fear Her Becoming    Chapter 25 – The Return

    Lyra's POVI made the decision to go back to Howler in the middle of the night.I laid on my cot, staring at the canvas ceiling, listening to the chatters of the people. Nicholas was somewhere nearby—I could feel him through the fragile bond we'd been building. Raven was on patrol. Sera was sleeping in a tent of her own.But Howler was dying."If you are not at Howler by then—if the pack does not have its true Luna—everyone dies."The Moon Goddess's words echoed in my head,loud enough that I couldn't shut it off even though I wanted to.I sat up on the cot"Lyra?" Nicholas's voice came from outside my tent. "You okay?""I need to go back." I said. There was silence for some time,then the tent flap opened and Nicholas stepped inside, his face shadowed in the darkness."Go back where?" He asked."Howler." I said swinging my legs over the side of the cot. "The pack needs me. The Moon Goddess said—""I don't care what the Moon Goddess said." He said with a tight voice. "You can't go back

  • His Fear Her Becoming    Chapter 24 – The Confession

    Nicholas POVIt was getting dark when I found Lyra and a Lycan woman I didn't recognize, stumbling out of the treeline, half-dead, covered in blood and ash and something that looked like silver light still clinging to Lyra's skin.My heart stopped for a movement,then it started again, pounding so hard I thought my ribs would crack."Lyra!" I found my foot running towards her before I could think.As she saw me,her face crumpled. And then she was running too, closing the distance between us, crashing into my chest so hard I nearly fell backward."I thought I lost you," I whispered into her hair."You didn't." Her voice was muffled against my shirt. "I'm here. I'm okay."I held her tighter,not wanting to let go,and I was planning on doing that if the lycan woman didn't clear her throat."I'm Sera," she said,like I cared. "I helped her escape. The Rogue King is going to come looking for her. Soon."I pulled back from Lyra but didn't let go. My eyes scanned her face, her arms, her hands,f

  • His Fear Her Becoming    Chapter 23 – The Escape

    Lyra's POVThe chains hit the stone floor with a clatter that echoed through the dungeon like thunder. "Quiet!" Sera hissed under her breatAnd I tried to,but I couldn't be quiet. The silver fire roared in my chest, surging through veins that had been starved of it for too long. My hands blazed,my arms glowed,the light spilled out of me like I was the moon itself."We need to go," Sera hissed. "Now."She grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward the corridor,and I followed as quietly as I could.The dungeon twisted and turned, a maze of stone and shadow. Torches flickered on the walls, casting dancing shapes that looked like watching eyes. Every sound made my heart lurch."Left," Sera whispered. "Then right. Then down the stairs.""How do you know the way?" I asked ."I've lived here for ten years. I know every tunnel, every cell, every escape route the King doesn't know exists."Within a few minutes,we reached the stairs. Stone steps worn smooth by centuries of feet. I took them two at
