Lyra

The world narrowed to breath and fire.

The Crimson Fangs surrounded them, their torches casting snarling shadows against the crumbling stone. Silver glinted in every direction. Ronan stood at her front, chest rising like a shield, teeth bared, claws extended.

But the bond, itt burned.

Not just between them, but through her, down to the dark place inside where the goddess now stirred.

The One Who Hungers had not followed them out of the tomb. She hadn’t needed to.

She was already inside Lyra.

And as the enemy moved in, as the silver caught moonlight and eyes blazed with intent to kill

The goddess whispered:

“Let me show you how wolves were born.”

Ronan

He counted six in front, four to the rear.

Ten against two.

And she wasn’t at full strength.

He wasn’t either, not with the silver still thick in his blood, his body aching, the wound from the last fight barely closed. But that didn’t matter.

He would die for her.

He would die for her.

He crouched low, growl vibrating through his ri

  • Kiss Of The Cursed Alpha   Chapter 19: The One Who Hungers

    LyraThe sarcophagus began to hum.Not a sound, not really, but a pressure in the air, in her blood, in the bond itself.It wasn’t just ancient magic.It was a heartbeat.Hers.Lyra staggered back, but the connection held tight. She could feel the tendrils of something vast and unspeakable wrapping around her soul, dragging her into a memory that didn’t belong to her, and yet somehow always had.The wolf in her went still. Reverent.A pulse answered her from the sarcophagus. Low. Timeless.The stone lid cracked down the center with a shriek of breaking runes.Ronan stepped in front of her, teeth bared, claws out. “Don’t.”But Lyra touched his shoulder and pushed forward.“I have to know,” she whispered.⸻RonanHe should’ve stopped her.Every instinct screamed to drag her back, seal the passage, bury the thing still breathing inside that tomb.But the bond…It wanted this.And worse, she wanted it.Ronan watched as she placed her hand against the cracked lid.And the stone dissolved.

  • Kiss Of The Cursed Alpha   Chapter 18: Whispers Beneath the Stone

    LYRAThe ruins breathed.Not with wind. Not with life.But with something ancient and deep, like the inhale of a god long buried beneath rock and regret.Lyra sat beside Ronan, his head resting against her thigh as she cleaned the silver wound with trembling hands and mountain spring water.It hissed against his skin.He didn’t even flinch.Too proud. Too stubborn. Too hers.She watched him carefully, how the bond pulsed between them like a second heartbeat, low and rhythmic, echoing beneath the stone. It had been more alive lately, stronger, powerful.The ruins themselves seem to be listening.She looked around the hollow chamber they’d chosen for shelter. The arches above them were cracked and covered in old runes, their meanings lost, their power lingering.“I’ve been here before,” she said quietly.Ronan stirred. “When?”“I don’t know. I was young. Or… maybe not even born yet.”He frowned up at her. “Lyra”“Don’t look at me like I’m crazy,” she muttered.“I’m not. I’m worried.”Sh

  • Kiss Of The Cursed Alpha   Chapter 17: Teeth At Their Backs

    LyraThe forest was a blur of shadows and breathless silence.Each step was a heartbeat. Each heartbeat, a countdown.They were being hunted.Not by mere scouts now, but by a war party.The Crimson Fangs had regrouped.And they were coming.Lyra crashed into the ground, lungs burning, claws half-formed and teeth aching from the strain of the shift she was holding back.Her wolf was clawing at her chest, demanding to take over. To protect. To fight.But they couldn’t stop. Not now.Not when they’d seen what she could do.The magic still flickered beneath her skin like hot coals. Runes pulsed faintly on her arms, ghosting in and out of sight, as if her blood couldn’t decide whether it belonged to ancient gods or mortal wolves.Ronan was just ahead of her, barely. His strides longer, body powerful and fast even wounded. But she could feel it.Through the bond.He was hurting.And he was trying to hide it from her.Idiot.She got herself up and poured more speed into her steps, ignoring t

  • Kiss Of The Cursed Alpha   Chapter 16: Ashes in Blood

    LYRAShe didn’t hear the intruder at first.The rain drummed too loudly on the roof of the safehouse, and Ronan’s weight was still a warmth across her side, his hand loose against her hip where they’d fallen asleep tangled in the aftermath of truths too heavy to carry alone.But something shifted in the air.She felt it. Cold. Off.Her eyes opened to dark shadows at the edge of the door. Three. Maybe four. Movement, fast, silent.Her fingers tightened on Ronan’s forearm. “Wake up.”He stirred instantly, instincts sharper than her voice could ever be.In a heartbeat, they were both crouched low, naked bodies wrapped in shadows and tension.Then…Bang.The door exploded inward, blown off its hinges by raw force.Lyra rolled, grabbing the dagger from her boots. Ronan snarled low, already moving, already shifting. His claws caught the nearest intruder in the gut, throwing him across the room in a bloody arc.But the others poured in behind him.Masks.Silver-edged weapons.And the crest h

  • Kiss Of The Cursed Alpha   Chapter 15: What The Bond Won’t Say

    LyraShe didn’t speak to him for hours. Not only because she was angry.Because if she opened her mouth, she wasn’t sure what would come out. Maybe rage, sorrow, desperation. Maybe all of it.After hitting the ravine, they moved through the old tunnels in silence, the flicker of rune-lamps throwing jagged shadows across Ronan’s face. He hadn’t looked at her since the bluff, since “Then we sever it.”As if he could sever something carved into the marrow of her bones.She could still feel him under her skin, tight and agitated. The bond didn’t lie. It pulsed with his guilt, his fear, and something more dangerous than either.His love.It would have been easier if he didn’t love her.She would’ve let him go if that bond didn’t burn just like hers.They stopped at the second safehouse before dawn. An old den carved into the side of a moss-covered cliff, hidden behind a waterfall. She slipped inside first, soaked to the skin, heart racing with more than cold.He followed, silent, slow.She
