LOGINOn her eighth birthday, Lyra Ashwood watched a monstrous wolf slaughter her parents before her eyes. From that day on, she hated werewolves. Raised by her grandfather in the secluded forests of Mystique Village, Lyra spent the next ten years training for one purpose: revenge. But on her eighteenth birthday, her entire world shattered when she discovered the impossible truth. She wasn't a hunter. She was a wolf. Determined to uncover the truth behind her parents' deaths, Lyra disguises herself as a powerless, wolfless Omega and infiltrates Dravenford Manor as a maid. Her mission is simple. Earn their trust. Get close to Alpha Cole Dravenford. Then destroy the family she believes murdered her parents. What Lyra never expected... Was to become the Alpha's fated mate. Cold, ruthless, and feared throughout the werewolf world, Cole has spent his entire life protecting his pack. The last thing he expected was for fate to bind him to a seemingly wolfless Omega. The more he tried to reject the mate bond, the stronger it became. As the bond pulls them closer together, Lyra begins to question everything she has believed for the past ten years. The wolf she has hunted her entire life may not be her parents' killer, and the Alpha she came to destroy may be the only one capable of revealing the truth. With powerful enemies lurking in the shadows, Lyra must decide what matters more. The revenge she has lived for. Or the Alpha's heart she never intended to steal.

My wolf wanted to chase the man with mismatched eyes through the corridor and tear him apart before he could disappear into the smoke, but another scent reached me beneath the ash and blood.Caitlin's fear.I turned toward the place where she had stood beside Mother and Freya only moments earlier, but Caitlin was gone."Caitlin?" My voice came out as a growl.Mother's face had gone white. Freya stood beside her with one hand pressed to her mouth while Carla searched the broken dining hall with frantic eyes."She was here," Mother said. "She was right beside me."A cold rage spread through my chest. I scanned the room, forcing myself to ignore the injured rogues, the guards struggling to regain control of the mansion, and the smoke curling through the shattered doorway.Then I saw Lyra's silver wolf racing through the eastern corridor. She had follow
Lyra’s POVThe mansion was under attack. The voice outside had cut through the darkness with such cold certainty that every part of me went numb when it rang through the hall.“Bring us the Ashwood heir.”They had come for me, and Cole stepped in front of me before I could even take a breath. His body shielded mine from the broken doors and the growls echoing through the mansion halls. His hand reached back blindly until it found mine, and his fingers closed around mine with such force that I knew he was fighting to remain calm.But I could feel the rage rolling through him.“Stay behind me,” he said, his voice low and almost a growl.Another crash shook the mansion. Somewhere near the front entrance, glass shattered across the floor, followed by claws scraping against polished stone.Caitlin cried out softly, and Cecilia pulled her close at once while Freya moved nearer to them, her face pale but determined. Carlos, Clark, and Carla had already shifted their positions around the tabl
Cole's POVFor several moments, I could only look at Lyra. The soft green dress made her eyes seem brighter beneath the warm glow of the candles, and the silver clips in her hair caught the light whenever she turned her head. But it was not the dress that held my attention. It was the way she looked around the dining hall, as though she still could not believe this place had made room for her.Lyra had spent years believing she had nowhere to belong. Cain had taken her from her home, buried the truth of her bloodline, and raised her to think she was nothing more than an ordinary girl with no place in our world. Darko had wanted to turn her into a weapon before she had the chance to understand who she was, yet tonight she sat beneath the Ashwood crest with her hand in mine, surrounded by people who wanted her here.She looked as though she belonged.My father remained standing at the head of the table, his glass still raised as everyone settled after the toast. His gaze moved to the As
Lyra's POVBy the time the sun was high over the mansion, I had almost convinced myself that I could finally rest.Freya had been given a guest room near Caitlin's, where Martha and one of the pack healers had tended to the bruises on her cheek and the cut on her arm. She was exhausted, but she was safe. Every time I remembered seeing her stumble out of Cain's cabin, I had to remind myself that she was truly here. She was alive.Cole had also been taken to the healer after we arrived, despite his repeated claims that the wound on his shoulder was not serious. His wolf had already begun healing it, but the cut had been deep enough to leave him weak from blood loss. I stayed beside him until the healer cleaned the wound and wrapped it with a fresh bandage."You need to rest," I had told him.He looked at me with that quiet, stubborn expression. "I will rest when you do."I had tried to hide my smile, but he had seen it anyway.Now, after sleeping for only a few hours, I stood near the w
