Kayden's POV

The training ground at dawn was the best hour.

No one watching. No performance required. Just the weight of my own body and whatever the wolf wanted to do with it.

I'd been awake since four. Couldn't sleep after holding Nyx while she cried — not because it disturbed me, but the opposite. It had settled something in me so completely that my body didn't know what to do with the quiet.

I threw combinations at the dummy until the cold left my hands.

The wolf was different now. Less sep

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    we have work to do

    Kayden's POVThe Moon Goddess came for Nyx in her sleep.I felt it through the bond before I woke fully — a disturbance, something spiking and then going strange and then very quiet. I came awake in the dark and she was already sitting up, both hands pressed to her chest, breathing hard."Nyx."She didn't answer right away. Just breathed.I sat up. Didn't touch her. Waited.After a moment she lowered her hands. Looked at the window — just the dark and the faint orange edge of the torch-lit courtyard."Goddess," she said. Not a question."What did she show you?"A long pause."Two versions," she said finally. Her voice was very flat. The flatness that means controlled, not cold. "Of myself. What I become if the stone stays whole." She paused. "And what I become if it doesn't."I waited."The first version was powerful," she said. "Still running the empire. But no one in her court could meet her eyes." She turned her face toward the window. "Not because they feared her authority. Becaus

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    enjoy her while you can

    Nyx's POVThe council ran long.Two hours of arguments I half-listened to while the real one ran underneath — the one between what I knew and what I was still refusing to say out loud, even inside my own head. The stone in my chest had been cold all morning. A particular kind of cold. The kind that felt like a countdown.After the meeting, alone in my study with a cup of tea going cold, I spread the map on the desk and stared at it.The intel from the scouts showed Silas's camp had been cleared and abandoned. Organized. Not panicked — he'd had time, he'd moved methodically. Which meant he'd known we were coming, which meant someone had told him, which meant the audit Kayden had recommended wasn't paranoia.Everything pointed inward.I hated that most.A knock. Kayden came in without waiting, which had stopped surprising me somewhere around week three. He had a look — not the closed-off performance he'd arrived wearing. Something more immediate. Something he'd been sitting with."Now?"

    Lyra's POVI walked for six hours.I didn't plan it. My legs just kept going after I stopped running — slower, less panicked, but still moving because the alternative was standing still somewhere in the dark and I couldn't do that. Standing still meant thinking. Thinking meant everything that had happened in that clearing.I lost one shoe somewhere in the third hour. I kept walking.By the time I found the motel it was almost four in the morning. Small place. Cash, no ID, a man behind the desk who looked at the wall rather than my face. That was enough.The room smelled like old carpet and the particular staleness of a space nobody had bothered to air out in a long time. The mirror above the bathroom sink showed me back to myself.I hadn't looked in a mirror since the night of the gala.Purple bruise along my jaw where Silas had hit me three days ago — not hard, just enough to remind. Dried mud in my hair. A cut above my eyebrow I couldn't remember getting. Mascara tracked down both c

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    i'd been patient enough

    Silas's POVI broke three things before I was satisfied.The glass first — a clean, sharp explosion that the men in the room absorbed without flinching. They'd learned. Then the lamp. Then a chair, which took real effort but was more satisfying than the rest combined. Something about breaking furniture tells the body it's doing something.I straightened my jacket.Sat back down."The mill meeting failed," I said. My voice was level. The rage was more useful cold. "Lyra ran. The boy turned it against her. Nyx saw everything I didn't want her to see and none of what I did." I looked at the two men across the table. "Tell me something that helps."Neither spoke.Good. I hadn't asked for noise.I looked at the map spread between us. Territory markers. Pack borders. The shape of everything I'd spent fifteen years constructing."The Blue Moon is three weeks out," I said. "Which means the window is closing."I slid a document across the table. Old paper, handwritten, the ink faded at the edg

Just the weight of my own body and whatever the wolf wanted to do with it.I'd been awake since four. Couldn't sleep after holding Nyx while she cried — not because it disturbed me, but the opposite. It had settled something in me so completely that my body didn't know what to do with the quiet.I threw combinations at the dummy until the cold left my hands.The wolf was different now. Less separate. In the early weeks — when the injections were first reshaping whatever Silas had put into my bloodstream, turning the experiment into something actual — he'd come like a force of nature. Unannounced. Violent about it. I'd wake up on floors. Break things without meaning to. The shift had felt like something happening to me rather than something I was doing.Now he was woven in. A second current running underneath my own, always present, not demanding. Like having better hearing and worse p

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    don't dramatize it

    Nyx's POVMorning came without asking permission.The light slipped through the curtains slow and pale, the way it does after bad nights — like even the sun knew better than to arrive too bright. I felt it on my face before I opened my eyes.I was still in my clothes. So was the arm around my waist.I lay still and let myself feel it. Kayden's arm, heavy and warm, pressing me back against his chest. His breathing, slow and deep behind me. His heartbeat through the fabric of his shirt.Through the bond, his presence sat like a fire that hadn't gone out.I should have moved. Should have slid out and made coffee and put distance between myself and last night before he woke up and looked at me with those eyes that saw too much. That was the smart move.I didn't make it.I lay there and let his arm hold me and tried to count how many times in the last fifteen years I'd let someone hold me like this.Zero. The number was zero.Which meant this was either the most dangerous thing I'd done si

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    Her body is mine again

    Lyra’s POV I saw the whole thing. I was supposed to be in my room, but the guard was dumb. I slipped out. I hid in the dark where the hall turns. I heard their voices. His voice was tight. Angry. Hers tried to sound like a boss, but it just sounded… hurt. I watched them in the doorway of that ro

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    You will obey me

    Nyx's POV The word was quiet, but it cut through the room like a knife. Kayden took one step forward. “You can’t be serious.”I finally looked at him. His jaw was set, his eyes blazing. “My judgment has been given.”“Your judgment is wrong!” he said, his voice rising. He pointed at the girl, who s

    Nyx’s POVI woke up to sunlight and warmth. That was the first strange thing. I don’t usually wake up warm.The second strange thing was the weight on my chest. An arm. Heavy and solid.I turned my head. Kayden was asleep beside me, on his stomach, his face turned toward me. One arm was thrown over

    Lyra’s POVThe dungeon smelled like wet stone and old fear. My dungeon. I’d walked past this cell a hundred times, never thinking I’d be inside. The cold ate into my bones. No one had come. No food. No water. Just silence and dark. Nyx was making me wait. Letting the fear and the cold do the work f
