LYRA'S POV

"Lyra." A faint whisper.

I jerked awake. "Who is that?" I asked, looking at the wall clock. It said 2:24 a.m. I turned on the light, but there was no one there. I didn’t think much of it.

I was about to lie back down when I heard it again, this time louder.

"Lyra…" the voice whispered. It was like someone was speaking next to me.

Fear gripped me. I took the closest weapon to me, the dagger. I had previously laid it on the nightstand.

Then suddenly, I noticed a faint glow on the dagger.

"Lyra… please." The whisper came again, this time it was clear it was from the dagger. But the voice sounded familiar, too familiar.

"Elias?" I asked, my eyes widening.

"You have to help me…" he whispered.

*****************

I jerked awake, breathing uncontrollably. Was this just a dream?

Mrs. Mary was in my room, dusting the furniture. I looked at the nightstand, but nothing was there. I remembered placing it there last night. How come it wasn’t there anymore?

"Good morning, Lyra," Mary greet

  • Howl of the Broken Luna   Chapter 90

    SILAS (VEMOD):The rule is carved into me after centuries of trial and error: the black smoke only crosses when the body is cracked wide open, when pleasure is so sharp the soul forgets to hold the door. An orgasm that whites out the mind for half a heartbeat is the perfect keyhole. Sex is the fastest, cleanest way. And I am very, very hungry for a third puppet.I’m leaning against the wall outside the laundry room, shirtless, sweatpants riding low, pretending to wait for coffee. Samantha rounds the corner with an armful of fresh sheets. Same red hair, same nervous little smile she’s had since we hired her. Perfect. I step into her path.She almost drops everything. “G-good morning… I mean, afternoon.”I give her Silas’s lazy, crooked grin. “Hey, Sam. Need help with those?”Her cheeks go scarlet. “I’m okay, really…”I take half the stack anyway, fingers brushing hers on purpose. “Come on. My mess, my responsibility.”She hesitates, then nods and leads me to the big linen closet

  • Howl of the Broken Luna   Chapter 89

    RONAN:It’s morning. I didn’t sleep a minute. My eyes burn, and my head feels heavy. I keep thinking about yesterday, Lyra’s mood shift, the dream she had, the way she acted. It’s already clear that something isn’t right, and pretending everything is fine will just make this worse.I already talked to Silas last night. We agreed we’d keep a close eye on her. We agreed to watch her until we figure this out. But now I need to talk to her dad. He has to know everything.While I'm showering, I'm thinking of how to explain it. There’s no good way. It’ll sound crazy. It’ll sound like I’m overreacting. But I’m not.I finish, dry off, throw on jeans and a t-shirt. My mind is not at rest, like something bad is waiting behind the next door. I step into the hallway and move toward Silas’s room. I knock.“Silas,” I call.No answer.“Yo, Silas. You in there?”Still nothing. Silence. He always answers. Even if he’s half asleep.I grab the handle. It’s unlocked. Silas never leaves it unlocked. Not e

  • Howl of the Broken Luna   Chapter 88: Two bodies are better than one

    SILAS:I couldn’t sleep after we left her room.Neither could Ronan. We sat in the kitchen until the sky turned grey, drinking coffee that tasted like ash, going over every word she said. The way she asked my name like she’d never heard it before, the way her mood changed from curious to all of a sudden cold it is like she doesn't even want to see us and her scent was just… off. I just can't explain it.By morning we were both running on fumes. Ronan put Jax and Milo on her door with orders to follow her if she so much as went to the bathroom. I told them I’d take over at noon.I needed a shower badly. I stank of worry.The hot water helped a little. I stood there forever, letting it hammer the back of my neck, trying to wash the feeling away that something had already crawled inside our house and was wearing Lyra’s skin.I finally shut the water off, towel-dried, wrapped the towel around my waist, and padded back to my room.But then I notice, the door was cracked open. I know I clo

  • Howl of the Broken Luna   Chapter 87: Awakening

    LYRA (VEMOD):This actually worked.I didn’t think it would be possible from inside a dream, but here I am, flesh and bone again, breathing real air after centuries of nothing but screams and chains in the Hollow Dome.Aldric was never supposed to leave that place alive. All Alpha who were locked there were supposed to be the lock. His heartbeat was the key. The moment that dagger went through his ribs, the seal cracked. I felt it shatter from the inside. All I needed was a mate bond strong enough to reach through, and the girl handed herself to me on a silver platter.Foolish little wolf.I open these new eyes slowly. The body is soft, warm, still smells faintly of the sex I gave her in the dream. Good. I’ll need it healthy for now.Two men sit by the bed with their arms crossed. The other leaning forward with his elbows on his knees. They both look up the second my lashes move.“Lyra?” one says. Maybe it's Ronan or Silas. I don't know which is which. I pull the name from her memorie

  • Howl of the Broken Luna   Chapter 86: Out of My Control

    LYRA:I don’t even change. I just kick off my shoes, crawl into bed and pull the blanket up to my chin. My whole body feels tired. The question is ready on my tongue. I’ll ask the second he appears.Sleep hits me.I open my eyes and I’m in the Luna bedroom at Redveil again. Still in my clothes. Aldric is lying next to me again, shirt off, watching me with that half-smirk.I sit up. My heart is already racing.He reaches out, fingers brushing my cheek. “You came back.”I should ask the question. I should.But the memory of last time slams into me. How hard he fucked me. How many times I came. How alive I felt for the first time since he died.I want that again. Even if it’s not really him.“Yes I did and this time, I want all of it.” I lean in and kiss him.He kisses back instantly. His hand slides to the back of my neck and pulls me closer.I straddle his lap without breaking the kiss.I grind down. He groans into my mouth.I rip his belt open. Shove my hand inside. Wrap my fingers a

  • Howl of the Broken Luna   Chapter 85: Is it Him?

    LYRA:This is really trying to freak me out.Aldric told me he was in paradise. He looked me straight in the eyes in that first dream, smiled like everything was alright, and said he just needed my help to come back to me. His voice was calm. Everything felt normal.But now I’m sitting here on this bed, knees pulled to my chest, and I can’t stop the thoughts from spinning. What if that wasn’t really him? What if something else is using his face, his voice, his behaviour? The idea that he’s being tormented, burned every time he tries to reach me… that he’s trapped in the Hollow Dome of all places… it doesn’t fit. It feels wrong. All of it feels wrong.I rub my temples hard, like I can push the doubt out of my skull.Knock. Knock.“Now what,” I mutter under my breath, louder than I meant to.“Who’s there?”“It’s Samantha. The new maiden,” a soft voice answers from the other side.New maiden? Since when does this pack start hiring people I’ve never even seen?I drag myself off the bed an
