Hold on, Alpha! Your Luna is on the Way! CHAPTER 20
LyraShifting early leaves me with an entire host of problems, some of which I haven’t even considered.Not only is my wolf convinced that Zachary is our mate—which is a problem in itself—it has also healed the scar on my forehead, leaving the skin smooth and clear.This means I’m no longer able to pass myself off as Elena. We look enough alike, sure, but Elena’s birthmark on her forehead is distinctive and not something that might randomly disappear one day.I make my way quickly to Dorian’s house. I’m panicking about what might happen next. His plan is falling through, and I don’t know what to do next.I have to get to him and explain what happened so we can figure out the next step.I’m honestly still rattled from the fire and from seeing Jack. I needed to get out.***He listens to the story quietly while we sit at the kitchen table. There is a frown on his face, but he doesn’t reply until I finish.I even admit my wolf’s feelings about my mate. There is no use hiding anything fro

ZacharyI know that it’s no use denying the summons to my father. He’d just send someone to hunt me down if I ignore him for too long.My mother is waiting for me outside of my father’s room. She smiles when she sees me, and hugs me before stepping back.“How is the competition going?” She asks. “Find any girls you like?”There is no way I can tell her about Lyra, because then I’d have to tell her about the Outriders and what I’m doing in the wastes, and I know she’d be angry for me putting myself in danger like that.Besides, I can’t marry someone like Lyra. But none of the girls—noble or otherwise—have my attention quite like Lyra.“Oh, I don’t know,” I give her a vague answer. “I’m still young. I’m not in a rush.”She frowns. I know she would. Everyone does when I refuse to get excited about the prospect of marriage.“Well,” she says softly, reaching out to give my arm a squeeze, “go and see your father.”I push the door open and stand by my father’s desk.He is only growing sicker

LyraEach moment that passes feels like an eternity. Everything smells like smoke, and it is getting harder to see what is going on.The guards seem to have vanished, probably fleeing from the fire. I shake the bars of the cell, hoping against hope that it might swing open.The smoke is growing thicker with every second.Diana is close to shifting. It is too early, I’m still not eighteen, but the stress of everything is building up inside of me. I am a little nervous to shift. It is a big deal, but this is a life-or-death situation.I can’t escape here as a human. I know that. I’m not strong enough to break through the bars, and if I stay here any longer, I’m going to die.I let Diana take over, and together, we burst out of the cell. I feel stronger than I’ve ever felt before. Power courses through me as I experience so many sensations at once.The smoke is constant, but I’m able to crouch below the smoke line.Instinct takes over. I run out of the dungeons as fast as I can. The fire

Lyra“You have to believe me,” I plead, with anyone who will listen to me. “I didn’t do it!”The guards only laugh. It is obvious they don’t care one way or another.They drag me deep into the dungeon. It lets in little light, and everything is dusty and cold. I’m starting to panic.“You could get out of this if you just explain why you had that bottle,” one of the guards says.I don’t know if he is actively trying to help me, or if he is mocking me. I’ve already refused to answer any questions thrown my way. All I did was deny my involvement. Evidently not well enough. Zachary won’t even listen to me after the guards dragged me from his room.But I can’t. I’d have to explain that I’ve been sneaking out to join the Outriders, that I was out with Zachary earlier today and was attacked.I’d have to explain that I wasn’t really Elena.I know I can’t do that. So my silence means I must be guilty, and they toss me into a cell without any more questions.The cell door locks behind them and

ZacharySince Heather’s death, there have been plenty of girls who have vied for the position of my new Luna. And since the competition began, that number has only increased.I’ve been given dozens of things, most of which sit untouched in my room. Half the girls here seem convinced that they can buy my affection—or buy first prize in this competition. It is an exceptionally frustrating experience. Not only am I uninterested in the competition in the first place, but I had to contend with what are essentially bribes.Elena’s arrival didn’t exactly surprise me. Obviously she is trying to earn my favor and I’m willing to humor her, if only for a moment. I don’t know her all that well, but if the other girls mentioned they’ve been trying to win my affections, then it must have made sense for her to give it a try.That’s why I accepted the pastries in the first place.Apollo stirs when I open the box, growling in the back of my head that something is off. The scent is strange, but I igno
Hold on, Alpha! Your Luna is on the Way! CHAPTER 15
LyraI know I only had seconds to get away, before Sabrina comes looking. There’s no way she’ll allow anyone to get away with the information I just heard. And I’m sure she heard me, even if she doesn’t know it was me.I slip out of the room, walking quickly but quietly. I don’t really think Sabrina would chase me down, but I can’t be sure. She’s stubborn, and if she’s that worried, she won’t let me get away that easily.Silently, I slip into the healer’s room—it was thankfully empty—and swipe some medicine for my arm. The room is well stocked, and I really don’t think the healer will notice it missing. With any luck, I might be able to put it back before anyone ever notices it’s gone.I know I need to get it treated soon so it will stop bleeding. I already feel a little better just having it in my hand, though.Now I just need to get back to my room without running into anyone. I’m almost in the clear. The hardest part is already done.Unfortunately, I’m not so lucky.As I leave th
