{Lyra’s POV}

A slow breath.

Light. Too bright.

A sharp sting behind my eyes.

Where… am I?

The ceiling above me looked soft, pale—almost like clouded glass. I blinked slowly, dragging my limbs into awareness. My head felt heavy, as if I'd been underwater for days. My throat burned like sandpaper. My heart… beat softly, unsure. Like it wasn’t sure it was allowed to.

The scent around me was faintly lavender, clean linens, and something else—something warm, earthy, almost like… cinnamon and smoke.

Then I heard them.

“Lyra?”

The voice cracked—strained, filled with barely restrained desperation.

“She’s awake… Oh my goddess—Lyra? Baby, can you hear us?”

Another voice. This one deeper, edged with a trembling sort of relief that made my skin prickle. My eyes fluttered toward the sound. I couldn’t see them yet. Everything was blurred and slow, like waking from a dream I couldn’t remember.

But I heard them. Heard the storm of emotion in their voices.

    {Lyra’s POV}Lying in bed all day was beginning to drive me crazy.The room was lovely—soft sheets, the scent of lavender in the air, and sunlight gently spilling in from the arched windows—but I felt caged. Like a porcelain doll, too fragile to be moved.I sat up slowly, wincing just a little. “I want to go outside,” I said.Ash looked up from the book he was pretending to read, and Aiden perked immediately from the corner, where he’d been folding and refolding a shirt for the tenth time.“Outside?” Aiden asked, like I’d just suggested skydiving off the roof. “Are you sure?”“I’m not made of glass,” I said with a half-smile. “I just need air. Please?”They exchanged that weird twin look—one of those silent conversations I still hadn’t figured out. Then they both nodded.“Fine,” Ash said, setting the book down. “But we’re coming with you.”“Obviously,” Aiden added.I rolled my eyes fondly and slipped off the bed. “I’ll go get ready.”****After a warm bath, I stood in front of the war

    {Ash’s POV}The room was still.Too still.Lyra had fallen asleep again, her breathing soft and even beneath the dim golden glow of the bedside lamp. I watched her chest rise and fall like it was the most fragile thing in the world. Like if I looked away, she might disappear again.Aiden sat on the armchair across from the bed, arms draped over his knees, fingers clutched together in a silent prayer he’d never say out loud. We’d been here for hours. We hadn’t left her side since she woke up. And we wouldn’t. Not now. Not ever.“I keep hoping she’ll open her eyes and just… remember,” he whispered.His voice cracked on the last word.“She will,” I said, though I wasn’t sure who I was trying to convince—him or myself.Aiden looked at me, brows furrowed. “What if she doesn’t?”I exhaled slowly, leaning back against the headboard. “Then we’ll help her remember. One piece at a time.”He fell silent again. The kind of silence that felt loud. Heavy.“She was everything to us,” he murmured aft

  • Hybrid: Claimed by the Alphas   CHAPTER 35

    {Lyra’s POV}The world felt new.Soft.Strange.Like a dream I hadn’t woken from yet.I didn’t remember this place. Or the people in it. But I wasn’t scared.Not with them around.Ash and Aiden—that’s what they said their names were. Names I’d never heard before… and yet they stirred something faint and flickering in the back of my mind. Like echoes of laughter down a hallway I couldn’t reach.They hadn’t left my side since I opened my eyes. Not for a single second.If I so much as shifted in bed, one of them was already there, brushing my hair back or whispering my name like it was a fragile prayer.Every blink, every breath—I felt their eyes on me.Not in a threatening way.No, never that.They watched me like they were afraid I’d disappear again. Like just being conscious was a miracle they didn’t dare take for granted.Their gazes held so much. Too much.Love.Pain.A story I didn’t know how to read anymore.But even without the memories… I felt them.Their presence was a constant

    {Ash's POV} Her eyes fluttered. I nearly fell to my knees. "Lyra?" I whispered, barely recognizing my own voice. It cracked. Goddess, it cracked because I was cracking. She moved again. I surged forward, heart beating too loud in my ears. "She's awake... Oh my goddess—Lyra? Baby, can you hear us?" She didn’t answer. Just blinked slowly, like the light hurt her. My stomach twisted. Aiden hovered beside me, eyes locked on her like he couldn’t breathe until she spoke. "Is she in pain?" I asked, not sure who I was asking—the Moon Goddess, the universe, anyone who would listen. "Lyra, are you hurting? Tell us what’s wrong—please." Her head turned. Her gaze, bleary and dazed, landed on us. And she didn’t smile. Didn’t reach for me. Didn’t say our names. She looked at us like we were strangers. I couldn’t breathe. Her eyes were the same, those beautiful eyes that used to light up when she saw me, when she saw us. But now? Empty. Lost. She winced, trying to speak.

  • Hybrid: Claimed by the Alphas   CHAPTER 32

    {Aiden's pov}Days passed.Or maybe just hours.Time didn’t matter anymore. Only Lyra did.We didn’t leave her side.Didn’t sleep.Didn’t eat.Didn’t breathe—Because she wasn’t breathing.She lay on the bed like a broken doll, still and pale, her chest unmoving.No pulse.No warmth.No heartbeat.Our hearts stopped with hers.The room in Lunaris Haven felt colder than a cave. It wasn’t just the temperature—it was the absence of life, of her laughter, her warmth, her voice calling our names. The air clung heavy to our lungs, and every second that ticked by without her felt like a lifetime carved into our skin.Trays came and went—untouched, growing cold.Until eventually, our mom came herself.She walked in quietly, carrying a small tray with her homemade stew—our favorite, the one she used to make when we were kids and everything felt too heavy.“Babies,” she said gently, setting it on the nightstand. “You need to eat. She wouldn’t want you to wither like this.”Ash didn’t look up.I
