Cole’s POV

Training was going to be fucking impossible.

Lyra stood across from me with her hands raised, wearing an outfit that had already tested what little control I had left. Kalen was finally gone, but instead of making things easier, having her to myself only made the pull toward her stronger.

“Are you going to stare at me all morning?” she asked.

I narrowed my eyes. “Attack.”

She smiled. “Bossy.”

“Lyra.”

“Fine.”

She came at me quickly, and I blocked her first strike before she twisted aw

  • Hunting The Alpha’s Heart   The Wolfsbane Collar

    Lyra's POVI followed Caitlin's scent through the eastern corridor, my silver paws striking the floor as smoke curled through the mansion behind me.One of the enemy rogues was carrying her toward the servants' exit. Caitlin struggled against him, tears streaking down her cheeks as she reached one hand toward me."Lyra!"A growl tore from Lana's throat. I raced after them and leaped just as the rogue reached the open doorway. My body slammed into his side, throwing him hard against the wall.Caitlin slipped from his arms and hit the ground, but she quickly pushed herself up."Run!" I told her through the mind link. "Hide somewhere safe!"Caitlin stared at me for one terrified second before turning and running away from the fighting.I faced the rogue again, ready to tear him apart before he could follow her.Then Caitlin screamed."Lyra!"I turned sharply.Another rogue had appeared behind her. He seized Caitlin around the waist before she could reach the safety of the mansion and lif

  • Hunting The Alpha’s Heart   Taken

    Cole's POVThe explosion shook the mansion so violently that dust drifted from the ceiling and shattered glass trembled across the floor. 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

  • Hunting The Alpha’s Heart   Hunting The Ashwood Heir

    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

  • Hunting The Alpha’s Heart   Rivals And Friends

    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

  • Hunting The Alpha’s Heart   A Welcome Banquet

    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

  • Hunting The Alpha’s Heart   The Scouts

    Cole's POVThe moment Kalen's voice reached the room, Lyra sat upright beside me."Cole. Wake up. We have company."I was already moving before the words fully registered. I reached for my shirt and pulled it on quickly while Lyra pushed herself out from beneath the blankets."What is happening?" she asked.A low growl rolled through the forest outside, followed by the sound of something heavy striking the cabin wall.Kalen's voice came again, sharper this time. "At least six wolves. They are surrounding the clearing."Lyra's face paled. I crossed the room and took her shoulders in my hands."Stay here."Her eyes flashed with immediate defiance. "No.""Lyra.""Freya is in the next room. I will not leave her alone."Every instinct in me wanted to order her to remain behind a locked door. I wanted to make sure nothing could reach her. But I had seen her fight for Freya earlier that day, and I knew she would not stay hidden while someone she loved was in danger."Stay with Freya," I said
