Lyra, His Second Chance Mate Chapter 11 : Lyra’s Reluctance
As Kane guided her away from the oppressive walls of the Blackstone Pack house, Lyra felt a strange mixture of relief and apprehension. The night air was cool, washing over her with a gentle touch that contrasted with the fire still lingering in her heart. Her body was still weak, recovering from days of mistreatment, but for the first time, she felt a glimmer of freedom. She glanced up at Kane, uncertain of his motives yet drawn to his strength and steady presence.They walked in silence for a while, the soft crunch of leaves beneath their feet and the distant rustling of the forest filling the quiet between them. Kane finally led her to the riverbank, where the water glistened under the moonlight. They stopped, and he gestured for her to sit beside him on a fallen log.“Are you comfortable?” Kane’s voice was gentle, as though he sensed her unease.Lyra hesitated but nodded, not wanting to show any more weakness. “Yes…thank you.” Her voice was barely a whisper, but she managed to mee

Kane's POVAs dawn broke, Kane slipped quietly from Lyra’s room, careful not to disturb her rest. Her breathing had steadied through the night, though she remained in a deep, healing sleep. Kane’s heart softened at the sight of her, but he knew he couldn’t afford to linger - there were answers he needed to find, and Regina’s lies to unravel.He headed down the hallway, his footsteps falling silent on the cold stone floor, each step a reminder of the grim task ahead. He would root out every trace of the darkness that had infected this pack, ensuring that no one would ever threaten Lyra again. As he approached the office of Alpha Caden, he signaled to Thorne, who had been waiting outside, ready for whatever came next.“Thorne,” Kane said, nodding to his commander, “I’ll need you to accompany me. We’re going to investigate the records and interview any witnesses who can shed light on what’s been happening here.”Thorne gave a short nod, his eyes hardening with determination. “Understood,

Lyra could hardly believe her reflection. Gone was the hollow-eyed, exhausted girl she had grown accustomed to seeing; in her place was someone new, someone who might even be called… hopeful. Her hand lingered at the collar of the gown Evelyn had brought for her, fingers brushing the soft fabric. It was finer than anything she’d worn in years, and the weight of it felt almost like an anchor, something to keep her steady in the storm ahead.Evelyn’s words echoed in her mind. “He sees strength in you.” Lyra wanted desperately to believe it, but doubt gnawed at her heart.“Lyra, they’re waiting,” Evelyn said softly, touching her shoulder.Lyra nodded, steeling herself as she stepped into the corridor, each step carrying her closer to the chamber where Kane, his father, and the Council members awaited. Her mind raced with doubts and worries. Would they see her as nothing more than the broken slave she’d been all her life? Could she truly stand before them and face their judgment?As she e

The dawn was just breaking over the Blackstone Pack’s grounds, casting long shadows across the assembled crowd in the courtyard. The elders of the Lycan Council, each draped in ceremonial robes that bore the insignia of their rank, stood alongside King Alaric. The Lycan King’s presence alone cast an aura of solemn authority, his silver gaze steely and unyielding. Kane stood by his father’s side, his own expression unreadable yet tense, his protective stance making it clear that his support lay with Lyra.Lyra, standing beside Kane, felt the eyes of every pack member trained upon her. She glanced at Kane, who gave her a reassuring nod, his gaze steady and unwavering. But her heart raced; she was no longer hiding in the shadows. Her time had come to tell her story.As murmurs rose through the crowd, King Alaric raised his hand, silencing them with a single, commanding motion. “Today, we are here to investigate the actions of Alpha Caden and Luna Regina, who stand accused of cruelty, abu

The room was silent, tense as King Alaric rose. The shadows seemed to deepen around him, his powerful presence casting a weight over the entire gathering. He fixed his gaze on Regina, his eyes piercing. "Regina, it’s time you reveal the truth."Regina’s eyes darted around, panic flashing in their depths as she tried to hold onto her composure. She straightened, sneering as she opened her mouth to speak, but her bravado was faltering under the King’s intense scrutiny.King Alaric leaned forward. “You can resist, but only for so long. I, King Alaric of the Lycans, command you to speak only the truth.” His voice, low and powerful, resonated through the hall, binding her.Regina’s face contorted, and she seemed to fight the words rising to her lips. But the Alpha command left her no choice. Her voice was strained, trembling as she began.“I… I did what I had to do,” Regina spat, each word forced from her. “The old Luna - she was beloved, too beloved. Everyone adored her, respected her. Sh

Seraphine POV Seraphine stormed out of the hall, her heart pounding furiously. The truth that had come to light was incomprehensible, tearing her world apart. She couldn’t bear the whispers, the astonished looks, and worst of all - the humiliating truth about her own bloodline.Caden wasn’t her father.She ducked into the shadows, finding refuge in a hidden alcove at the side of the pack house. Her breath came in shallow gasps as she clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. A moment later, Aiden joined her, his own face as pale and stunned as hers.“They lied to us,” she spat, her voice barely a whisper but full of venom. “All this time...”Aiden’s jaw clenched as he absorbed the truth. “Our entire lives, we’ve been living a lie. They claimed we were the rightful heirs, born of a powerful line. And now, this... we’re not even Alpha Caden’s children. We’re... nothing.”Seraphine’s eyes flared, a dangerous light kindling within them. “No, Aiden. We are not nothing. We have

The trial hall fell silent once more as King Alaric turned his steely gaze toward Regina and Caden, who stood side-by-side, their faces pale and drawn. Bound by enchanted silver cuffs that dulled their powers, they looked more like prisoners than leaders, weighed down by the gravity of their crimes. The pack members watched intently, waiting to witness the final chapter of the cruel rule that had terrorized their lives for years.Regina's eyes darted nervously around the room, searching for some trace of sympathy, but all she saw were cold, accusing stares. Caden, meanwhile, looked down, shoulders slumped, as though he had already resigned himself to his fate. For once, there was no arrogance or pride in his posture, only the haunted realization of what lay ahead.King Alaric began, his voice echoing with authority. "Regina and Caden, you have been found guilty of heinous crimes: betrayal of the pack, abuse of authority, treason, and murder. You have used your power to oppress, to tor

Lyra POVThe moon hung heavy in the sky, casting a silver glow over the landscape as Kane guided Lyra through the quiet forest just beyond the pack grounds. The soft crunch of leaves underfoot and the fresh scent of pine seemed to soothe the air around them, creating a rare, delicate sense of peace. For Lyra, this tranquility felt new, almost unsettling in its gentleness. She glanced sideways at Kane, his presence beside her solid and steady, an anchor in the dark wilderness.Kane stopped at a small clearing illuminated by moonlight, a place hidden from the world but alive with the sounds of the forest. He gestured for her to sit, and they settled together on a fallen log, facing the soft rippling of a nearby stream. For a moment, neither of them spoke, letting the night air settle around them like a comforting blanket.“This forest…” Lyra whispered, her voice barely carrying above the sound of the stream. “I used to dream of running here as a child. But after everything that happened

Lyra, His Second Chance Mate Chapter 119 : Stones and Silence
Lyra didn’t speak.She stepped quietly to the side and settled onto a patch of moss, legs folded beneath her, spine straight as a sentinel. The moonlight slid in through the broken rafters above, painting her hair in silver. Her presence was steady - not pressing, not retreating. Just there. She could Nyxar stayed kneeling, fingers grazing the fractured stone where once an altar had stood tall and gleaming with divine light. His hand traced the worn runes, fingers slipping over grooves long eroded by wind and time.“This is where I fell,” he said after a while, voice low. “Not in battle. Not before a blade. Here. In the temple.”Lyra looked toward him, but said nothing. She didn’t need to.“I was given a choice.” His gaze fixed on the stones. “To let them die… or to fall. Become immortal. To give up the throne. My power. My life. My mortality. Everything.”His jaw tightened. “I didn’t hesitate. Not for one breath. I gave it all for them. For the ones who cried out in my name.”“And
Lyra, His Second Chance Mate Chapter 118 : Hunger and Memory
Nyxar POV The corridor felt quieter than it had ever been. As if the walls themselves held their breath, watching the once-immortal god relearn the rhythm of mortality. Nyxar leaned slightly against Lyra as they moved - her arm steady beneath his, her touch warm and sure.He paused beside one of the archways, exhaling slow. The torchlight flickered over his face, casting golden highlights into the dark growth of stubble along his jaw.“I need to see it,” he murmured. “The old sanctuary. The ruins.”Lyra turned her face toward him, brows lifting. “Now?”Nyxar’s gaze was distant, tethered to memory and something deeper - pulling at him like the moon pulled at tides. But then hiis stomach growled. Loud and unmistakable.He blinked. She blinked. And then she laughed.Not the soft, guarded sound he’d grown used to, but a real laugh - light and almost surprised, like she hadn't expected it from herself.He glanced down at his own stomach and muttered, “Apparently, being mortal comes with i
Lyra, His Second Chance Mate Chapter 117 : Ashes and Embers
Nyxar’s POVThere was no pain at first.No sound. No color. Only the hollow thrum of memory drifting through a void where even time dared not exist. Here, in this formless silence, everything Nyxar had been - god, warrior, monster - unraveled.His name echoed once, a ghost of thunder across a dark sea. Then it dissolved. Nyxar. Once a name that cracked mountains and bled stars. Now, meaningless.The world beyond had vanished. Only the impression of a face lingered, etched into the dying light of his thoughts. Lyra. Her warmth, her tears, the feel of her hand in his - real in a way nothing else had been in centuries. He’d given everything to protect her. To save her.He thought it had been the end. But something remained. A flicker. An ember buried beneath the ash.He reached for it - not with hands, but with the fragile echo of thought. There was no body here. No form. Just awareness stretched thin like dying flame. The divine part of him - once radiant and vengeful - was crumbling.
Lyra, His Second Chance Mate Chapter 116 : Still Standing
Lyra POV Ekreth was gone again. For a long moment, she simply sat there, the weight of the world pressing down on her shoulders. Duty waited outside that door. An entire kingdom will look to her now - broken, battered, but victorious. They had won the war. The Harbinger was gone. The seal was locked and nothing should get through to this world.And Kane… Kane was gone too.The thought carved another raw wound through her heart. She pressed a trembling hand against her chest, as if she could hold the pieces of herself together a little longer. She was Queen. There was no one else. She can't hide here.The heavy cloak of authority settled around her shoulders. She did not look at Nyxar. She couldn’t. Not yet.A soft knock stirred the heavy silence.Lyra blinked slowly, pulling herself out of the half-daze she'd sunk into. Her fingers still curled around Nyxar’s, reluctant to let go. She didn’t want to move. Didn’t want to face whatever waited beyond this quiet, broken moment.Th
Lyra, His Second Chance Mate Chapter 115 : The Weight of Staying
Lyra POV The door clicked softly shut behind Ekreth, leaving her alone with Nyxar and the sound of her own heartbeat.For a long time, she didn't move.She sat there, hands folded on her lap, staring at the slow, steady rise and fall of his chest beneath the blanket. Each breath was a fragile miracle. A proof that he still lived - that he hadn't slipped away entirely into whatever place gods went when they died."You stayed", Thalia murmured inside her, voice warm and thick with emotion."I had to."Lyra answered numbly."No, Lyra. You chose to."Lyra's chest ached at the words.She hadn't thought about it. Not really. When Nyxar’s light began to break apart, when the world had turned inside out - she had moved without hesitation. Without calculation. As if something inside her had already decided long before she knew it herself.But that didn't mean she understood it. Or that she wanted to.A heavy silence filled her mind."He matters to you", Thalia said softly, without accusation.
Lyra, His Second Chance Mate Chapter 114 : Dust and Gold
Lyra POV The silence that followed didn’t feel like peace. It felt like the world had forgotten how to breathe.Stone dust hung in the air like smoke, fine and pale, drifting slowly down in spirals from the vaulted ceiling above. Runes that had once blazed with ancient light were now dark and broken, their power spent. Cracks split the floor like veins across a dead heart.And at the center of it all, Lyra sat on her knees in the ruins of the seal - her hands tangled in Nyxar’s coat, her breath coming in ragged, uneven pulls.He was warm. That was the only thing she could hold onto.He was warm.His chest rose and fell beneath her fingers, slow but steady. His body, usually tense with power, now felt strangely soft in her arms - boneless, weighty. And his face…His face looked peaceful.Not serene. Not untouched. There were shadows under his eyes, ash on his skin, and gold still faintly glowing at the corners of his mouth. But there was no pain now. No fight left in him.Just… peace
Lyra, His Second Chance Mate Chapter 113 : Ashes of a God
Nyxar POVThe earth still quaked when the light began to fade. Not with the blinding fury of battle, nor with the blood-red chaos of war - but with something quieter. Heavier. Like the echo of a heartbeat after it stops.A sacred breath held too long… finally exhaled.Nyxar stood at the heart of the chamber beneath the castle - boots braced against fractured stone, the runes beneath his feet flickering like dying stars. The seal pulsed in front of him, threads of gold and shadow unraveling into the dark like veins torn open.Ekreth stood beside him, tall and monstrous in his truest form - wrought of shadow and old bone, his wings hunched tight against the low ceiling, scraping stone as they twitched.The air thrummed with old power. The kind that didn’t belong to the world above.Nyxar didn’t flinch.And before them in one moment the gate was gone. No fire. No rupture. No tearing in the fabric of the world. Just… closed. Like it had never been there at all.Nyxar’s chest was a war dru
Lyra, His Second Chance Mate Chapter 112 : The Gate
Lyra POV - Dawn The sky held no warmth when morning came.It broke over the horizon like a blade - pale and cold, slicing through the hush that had settled over the city. No birds sang. No bells rang. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath.Lyra stood alone in the highest tower, watching the first light seep into the edges of the world. The city still slept below, curled into itself like a creature trying to heal. She could see the rooftops where ivy climbed, the market square where sweetbread had been shared, the fountains where pups had splashed. All the places that had made her heart ache the night before.Her eyes were dry now. Her chest hollowed and quiet, the way it always felt after grief had burned itself down to embers.The shirt she’d held all night was gone. Folded. Left behind. Like a prayer she couldn’t take with her.She wasn’t bringing Kane into this. This was hers to carry. This was her moment to end what First Queen couldn't. Gave up what gods turn her into.The rit
Lyra, His Second Chance Mate Chapter 111 : Before the Ash Settles
Lyra POVThe city pulsed like a living thing.Not with war drums or warning horns, not with screams or smoke. But with something gentler. Steadier. Like a heartbeat finding its rhythm again after the chaos had passed.She walked its cobbled streets alone, the sky soft and bruised with dusk, her cloak drawn close against the cool wind.She didn’t want to be recognized.Tonight, she wasn’t the Queen. Not the warrior. Not the widow.She was just a woman - a ghost, maybe - drifting through the bones of a city that had outlived too much death.The streets were cracked and uneven where the stone had split from the last quake. Ivy had begun to creep over the ruins. Not the kind born of darkness and shadow like before - but living ivy. Green. Hopeful. Unafraid.It clung to burned-out walls, softening them. Claiming them.And everywhere she looked, life had begun again.A child ran past her, barefoot and shrieking with laughter, trailing a cloth banner behind her like it was a cape. Another pu
