ALDRIC:

We don’t need their aircraft.

We don’t need wolfsbane rounds.

We have five hundred wolves running on four legs, and the ground shakes under us like an earthquake and I enjoy the feeling.

I slow to a walk and shift back to human. My warriors do the same.

We’re all wearing the same thing we always do for a run like this: loose linen war-kilts tied tight at the waist. One tug and they stay on through the shift, another tug and they drop like pants. Bare chests, bare feet, blades strapped across the back. Standard Redveil.

Alpha Jerome is already waiting outside the main gate with thirty of his best. He’s older than I expected, but he stands straight. Lyra’s father Mike is on his left. Ronan and Silas stand a few steps behind.

I stop twenty feet away.

Jerome speaks first. “Aldric.”

I nod once.

“You’ve brought an army to my border,” he says. “State your business.”

I didn’t want to talk. I just wanted to launch a full attack. But that would only ruin things between me and Lyra, and

  • THE THIRD MATING   Chapter 171: He’s With Her

    RONAN:“Hello, Master Ronan.” His shaky voice came from the phone.“Which among you is this?” I asked.“Sir, this is Philip. We were attacked by a group of men in a van. Jackson was shot in the head, and I drove the car into the lake. The current pulled us toward the waterfall. I had to go get help, so I left.”“But you said you tried helping Lyra and she said no and all that stuff, didn’t you?” I asked.He stammered but didn’t say anything. That was all I needed. Lyra wouldn’t want to die because of the pup, so it was clear already. He ran.“You know what? I want you to do something for me, Philip. Give me the exact place you abandoned Lyra and her unborn child so I can come over,” I snarled.“I am sorry, sir, I didn’t…”I cut the call.“The water carried them there. That’s why she is so far away,” I said.“But can it take her so far?” Silas asked.“That’s the only way,” I said. “You said it yourself. The island is a seven day journey by the normal route. She must have been carried t

  • THE THIRD MATING   Chapter 170: Where Lyra Could Be

    RONAN:“I know where Lyra could be,” I stated. “Lisa said—”“Lisa said nothing, Ronan,” he snapped.“If she ever wanted to help, then she wouldn’t try to make you cheat on Lyra like that,” he explained, anger filling his eyes.“How did she know where you are? How did she know who Lyra is? And why do you trust her?” he asked, frowning.“But why do you act like she’s a stranger?” I asked.“I never liked that tramp, not for one second, because I know what she tried to do in your head before,” Silas confessed.“She said she knew who Lyra was because Darius sent her to do a spell to find Lyra, the same spell she did to find me just now,” I explained. “She said I should get Lyra first before Darius finds Lyra, because she will have to report back to Darius,” I added, folding my hands.Silas sighed, dropping his head to the ground.“How do we find Lyra?” he asked.“She said Lyra was on an island very far away from land,” I explained.“That doesn’t make sense. I mean, how can she be so far aw

  • THE THIRD MATING   Chapter 169: The Wrong Moment

    RONAN:“I’ll do all I can to find you, Lyra, to find our pup,” I whispered to her picture on the bed.I had never been this worried about anything or anyone, but my fear was that Lyra couldn’t fight for herself. She was pregnant, and pregnancy stopped females from shifting.I stood up from the bed, pacing in my room, when a soft knock came from the door.All I wanted was to be alone, not talking to anyone, but it could be something important.I walked to the door and opened it a little.My eyes went wide when I saw who it was.It was Lisa, the girl who once had feelings for me. Feelings I knew about but never acted on. We hadn’t seen each other in over nine years, not since she left and our lives went in different directions.I hadn’t expected to ever see her again.“Lisa? What are you doing here?” I whispered in shock.“I have to tell you something important,” she said. “About Lyra. I know where she is.”I pulled her inside immediately, closing the door behind us.“How have you been,

  • THE THIRD MATING   Chapter 168: Forget...

    LYRA:I woke up slowly, the way you do when sleep doesn’t want to let you go. The fire had died down to glowing red coals. The air smelled like smoke. My body ached everywhere, my back, my legs, my head from the uncomfortable rock laid. I blinked, trying to focus.Cole was still sitting where I last saw him, his knees pulled up, arms resting on them. But he wasn’t looking at the trees anymore. He was looking at me.His eyes caught the faint orange light from the coals. They looked darker than usual, almost black. My heart gave a funny jump, the kind that happens when you realize someone has been watching you sleep.“You okay?” he asked.I nodded, even though I wasn’t sure. My mouth felt dry again. I pushed myself up on one elbow. The ground was cold under my palm.He moved then, slowly, like he didn’t want to scare me. He slid closer until his knee brushed my leg. I should have moved away. I didn’t.“Lyra,” he said, softly. Before I could think, his warm hand was on my cheek. His th

  • THE THIRD MATING   Chapter 167: I know where she is

    THIRD PERSON POV:Lisa felt sad and a little hurt inside. Darius always got what he wanted from her. She picked up her clothes from the floor. She put them back on with shaky hands. Her body still hurt a little from what happened. She looked around the office. Papers were all over the place. The desk was messy. She fixed her hair and wiped her face. Then she walked out of the office. The door clicked shut behind her.She went back to her massage room. The client was already gone now. Her helper had finished the job. Lisa sat down on a chair. She thought about Darius and what he asked. He wanted her to find Lyra. Lyra was pregnant. The baby was important to the pack. Lisa knew she had to help. But she did not like it.Lisa remembered her mom. Her mom was a witch. She taught Lisa some magic things. Lisa had special powers because of that. She could do spells to find people. Her mom left her some tools. Like crystals, old books, and special herbs. Lisa kept them hidden at home.She fin

  • THE THIRD MATING   Chapter 166: Exhausted beside him

    LYRA:We walked for a long time without talking.The forest was big and scary. Trees everywhere. Thick vines hanging down.My legs hurt a lot. My stomach made hungry noises. The baby inside me moved a little, like it was saying, “Mom, I’m tired too.”Cole walked in front of me. He didn’t look back. He just kept going. I followed because I was afraid to be alone.My feet stepped on sticks and leaves. They made crunching sounds. Sometimes I slipped on mud. I caught myself before I fell.I wanted to ask questions. Like, where are we going? Do you know this place? But I stayed quiet. I was still mad at him.After some time, the sun started to go down. The light became orange and weak. Shadows grew long and dark.Cole stopped. He looked around.“We need water,” he said. “And a place to sleep. It will be night soon.”I nodded. My throat felt dry.He pointed to a small path between the trees. “This way. I hear water.”We walked again. Now it was harder to see. Branches hit my arms. I kept my
