“Are you reading my mind right now?” he asks me while coming closer. “No, I am not.” “I wish you were. So that you can know how you have consumed my mind, how much I think about you. How I want to hold you and care for you. This is what has been going through my mind from the first day I saw you at our border with a protruding belly.” *** Lyra thought marriage to the Alpha would be her salvation, a chance to escape her father’s suffocating control. But when she overhears a deadly plan—one that marks her and her unborn child as pawns in a sinister power play—she makes the only choice that can save her life. With nothing but a cloak to hide her secret and no one to trust, Lyra runs. In a world where loyalty is tested and alliances shift like shadows, Lyra finds refuge in a rival pack, only to uncover gifts she never knew she possessed. But as her powers grow, so do the dangers lurking in the dark. While Damian, her estranged husband, searches for answers about his missing wife and child, and the truth behind his parents’ deaths—an even greater threat looms over them all. Yet some secrets refuse to stay hidden.
View MoreLyra’s pov I stormed out of Damien's office, my anger surging through me like an uncontrollable wildfire. My husband’s resolute words echoed in my mind: “My decision is final.” No matter how much I had pleaded, begged, or reasoned, Damien refused to back down. Luke was to be executed at dawn, and there was nothing I could say that would change his mind.I don’t know why he is so headstrong in believing Luke is a bad person. We are still talking about the error in arresting him and he is talking about executing him. What is wrong with this man? He is not even thinking of the consequences of his action on his family, the pack and our relationship with the Crewwood pack. Just arresting him alone has created bad blood between the two packs.This would definitely cause a war between us and that will lead to the loss of many lives and property. On both sides. It doesn’t matter who wins as it will be devastating. They can even report us to the alpha king and they would be justified. How can
‘Yes, I did,’ replied Adol. ‘But this whole thing is confusing.’“Have you even thought of the consequences that this action will cause our pack? Lyra asked, cutting into my conversation with Adol. “It might lead to war, you know.”“I’ll handle the consequences myself.”“You’ll regret this, Damien,” she said, getting to her feet. “And when you do, don’t expect me to stand by your side.”I was seething but I tried to control it. My wife, my mate, believed in this man, a man I despised instead of believing in my words. She believed in his innocence without regard to my feelings. The betrayal cut deep, even if she didn’t intend it that way. I clenched my fists, my nails biting into my palms as Lyra’s words echoed in his mind.I was still sitting when Lyra stood up to go but I stood up and ran in front of her. I may be mad at her for not believing me but I don't want to lose her again. I need her by my side. “Lyra, wait. Please come and sit down.” She hesitated, then took a deep breath
“A threat?” she said. “How? By ensuring my safety? By helping your son? If he’s a threat, then you’re delusional.”“He is a rogue,” I insisted. “I won’t be surprised if he has been the one masterminding all the rogue attacks we had had the past free years.”She laughed more. “Seriously Damien. A rogue. Is that the best you can come up with? And what evidence do you have?”I wanted to respond, to tell my evidence but my sister cut me off with her rebuttal.“He doesn't have any evidence of course,” Denise said.“Alpha, with all due respect, Luna has a point. Luke’s actions have only benefited the pack. There’s no evidence against him.”Trust Rowan to interject immediately he heard Denise’s voice. I thought they would leave me and my wife alone so we could continue arguing our points. I was mad at Rowan. I had explained things to him before they came in so I expected him to side with me in this argument. I asked if he was questioning my authority.“I question your reasoning,” Rowan rep
Damien’s povCrap! Alpha Jaxon is in his house thinking that I’m having a drink with his beta, discussing the prisoner in Crewwood and other things. While the real situation is that his beta is my prisoner.What would he do if he finds out that his man is in my dungeon? I guess he would be greatly disappointed and probably start a war. Damn!I mean I would probably do the same if I hear that Rowan was arrested and thrown inside the dungeon. Especially when we are not at war and he went for something like a courtesy call. I brought out a bottle of my favorite whiskey and poured a little shot. I downed the drink immediately and sat down. The liquid burned my throat as it went down the esophagus. I needed to think. I had to find a way to handle it without causing more complications. I thought hard but I can see a way to avoid war in this situation.Damn! My hands clenched into fists on the polished surface. “Drinking this early?” I looked up to see Rowan come in. His eyes seem bloods
“What nonsense are you talking about?” shouted Denise. “Do you know who is standing before you? This is the Luna of this pack.” “I know who she is, ma’am. But orders are orders.”“And I am the alpha’s sister. I also want to see the prisoner.”The guard hesitated. “I wish I can help you both but I can’t.”“Let me see him,” I demanded, my tone leaving no room for argument.The man sighed, his gaze flicking nervously between me and Denise. “I’m sorry, Luna,” he said, his voice gruff. “The Alpha’s orders were clear. No one can go in there to see the prisoner. No one else except him.”I narrowed my eyes. “Open that door, or I’ll make you regret it.”“I can’t,” he replied, standing firm. “The Alpha said no exceptions, not even for you.”Denise stepped forward, her voice rising. “What’s wrong with you? He’s our guest, not some criminal! Why is he locked up?”The guard’s expression darkened. “I’m only following orders. The Alpha said the man stays locked up until the date of his execution.
Lyra’s povWhen I woke up the next morning, the space beside me on the bed was empty. I stretched and sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, before heading to the nursery to check on Leo. The nanny greeted me warmly, informing me that the boy had been up early and was now napping after his breakfast. Wow, did I sleep that long? I guess it was due to the multiple org*sms I had from the hot sex with Damien. I smiled at the memory.I checked the time in the clock in their room, a quarter to nine. I did sleep long. I thanked the nanny and went out, closing the door gently. Satisfied, I made my way to the kitchen, where I found a group of omegas busy preparing food. Others were cleaning and sweeping the different sections of the packhouse.“Good morning, Luna,” one of them greeted with a bow.“Good morning,” I replied with a smile. I turned to the cook. “Please make sure to prepare a delicious breakfast for our guests.” The head omega nodded, and I turned to leave. I headed back to the r
Adol was almost on the surface as my eyes turned black. My guards, seeing what had happened, brought out their own weapons and faced them. The room was on the brink of chaos. Warriors from both sides faced off, tension crackling in the air. Weapons were drawn, and it felt like the smallest spark would ignite a deadly fight.Luke, now sitting on the floor, held up a hand. “Stop,” he said, his voice steady despite the blood on his face. “There’s no need for anyone to get hurt.”He slowly got to his feet, looking directly at me. “If you want me, then take me. But leave my men out of this.”His warriors protested, but he silenced them with a sharp look. “Stand down,” he commanded. “That’s an order.”Reluctantly, they obeyed, stepping back. I motioned to my guards, who moved in and grabbed Luke. As they dragged him away, he didn’t resist. He simply looked at me, his expression calm but unreadable.Rowan caught my arm as I turned to leave. “Damien, what is going on? You’re acting like a
Damien’s povThat was all the answer I needed. I smiled, came down from the bed, and pulled her toward the edge of the bed until her feet were on the ground. I didn’t know whether she could stand steady with the way her body was still shaking from the org*sm. So I held her to steady her, but surprisingly, she stood firm.I turn her around so she back is facing me.“Now, bend over, and let me fuck you,” I told her.She did and then raised her ass up for my full view. This was intoxicating; and my wolf groaned at the sight as I grabbed her ass and brought them closer to me. I released a moan as I put my cock into her hole and thrust.I thrust again and again as she moaned in pleasure. I put a hand in her hair, pulling her head back. My tongue traces her neck, flicking it over her mark. She moans as my teeth scrape the mark. I knew it was just as sensitive as her clit, and she couldn't get enough.I thrust up into her again, a mixture of pain and pleasure tears through my body, as I felt
Lyra’s povSeeing that Denise was not responding to my calls, I decided to touch her to bring her back to earth. I wonder what could make her to be so lost in thought like this. She nearly jumped out of her skin when my hand reached her arm. I apologized for startling her and asked if everything was okay with her. She tried to downplay it, but I knew there was something wrong.Anyway, I walked her back to the room since she said she would not be coming down for dinner. Maybe a good night's rest will help her, like she said. Yet, I wondered what could worry her like this. Denise is not a woman that things get to so easily. I sighed and turned around to head to my room.I believed she was lying when she said Luke looked like someone she knows. As far as I know, Luke never ventured into the human city for anything. But then, why was she interested in him? Could it be that he was the source of her worry? What a silly thought, I chide myself. They are meeting for the first time today, so
LyraMy father is a respected husband and father, a model citizen, a role model to the youth, and a revered elder of our pack. Yet from the first day I was born, he wanted me dead.I thought getting married to Alpha Damian was going to protect me from him, but his long hands of hatred still reached me there. And now, because of him, my husband wants me dead.My name is Elyra Forte and I am on the run.My breath came in ragged gasps, each step sending sharp jolts of pain through my body. The weight of my pregnancy slowed me down, but I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t risk being caught—not now, not ever. The thick forest canopy above me blocked out most of the moonlight, casting eerie shadows that made the underbrush even more treacherous. But I had to keep going.My father’s voice still echoed in my mind, cold and calculating. “Once she gives birth, we’ll dispose of her. No one will stand in our way - not even Damian. He has served his purpose.”I had never been close to my father, but I n...
