LOGINLyra’s POVGregory approached me with a smooth, almost predatory air, his blue eyes focused intently on me. “How do you like it here, Luna?” he asked. He was a striking man—red hair, muscular build, and around Ronon’s age—but there was something unsettling in his gaze. He was undeniably handsome, but I felt no attraction toward him. If anything, his attention made me uneasy, as if there were more behind his words than he let on.“It’s amazing,” I replied, keeping my tone light, polite. He gave a small nod, his eyes searching mine as if he were trying to unravel something hidden within me.“Where are you from?” he continued, tilting his head slightly, his eyes narrowing with curiosity. “You look more like a Southerner.”I gave him a small smile, nodding. “Well, you guessed right. I am a Southerner who traveled north to find my mates.” The moment I said it, I heard a low, protective growl from Dax, a reminder that my mates were always watchful, always aware.Gregory leaned in, his gaze
Lyra’s povMy heart skipped a beat as I quickly took out a handkerchief, wiping it away before any of my mates noticed. Luckily, the pain faded as quickly as it had come, leaving no lingering migraine, but the ominous feeling only grew stronger.“Gregory,” Ronon’s voice cut through the tension, pulling Gregory’s gaze away from me. He blinked, momentarily disoriented, before refocusing on Ronon.“Good day, Alpha Ronon,” he said, bowing in a show of respect. “It is an honour to be in Redcape.” Ronon returned the nod, his expression calm but watchful.Gregory moved down the line, exchanging polite greetings with Keal and Dax. Yet even as he did, his eyes kept flickering back to me, lingering far too long, far too intently. The attention felt invasive, like fingers brushing where they didn’t belong.I could feel Shadow, Ronon’s wolf, growling low in my mind, and I knew Ronon felt it too. He didn’t take kindly to anyone ogling me—especially not right in front of him.“And who is this beaut
Lyra’s POVThe months passed, and my bond with Ronon, Kael, and Dax deepened in ways I hadn’t anticipated. They each had layers that continued to surprise me, am strength tempered with kindness, passion wrapped in gentle understanding. They made me feel treasured, valued, and safe. My world was full, richer than I’d ever dreamed, and yet, shadows lingered on the edges of my happiness.When they suggested a visit to the South, my heart tightened. The South was where I had been sold, a place tainted by betrayal and pain. Facing those who had once traded my life away felt like a nightmare I wasn’t ready to confront. The thought of seeing David, the one who had orchestrated mysuffering, stirred a deep anger within me. If I saw him again, I knew I would demand justice. I couldn’t forgive or forget, and I wasn’t sure if I ever wanted to.Despite these reservations, life continued smoothly. My role as Luna was fulfilling, challenging, and sometimes even amusing. Stasia had made several clum
Lyra’s POVI carefully slipped out of bed, trying not to wake anyone, and tiptoed to the bathroom. My body felt warm and tingly as I undressed, memories from the night flooding back to me with every movement.Standing in front of the mirror, I paused, my breath catching as I saw myself—red marks scattered over my skin, vivid reminders of last night. Each one was like a little secret, a story written in kisses and firm hands. The passion we’d shared left its mark, quite literally, and I couldn’t help but laugh softly, my heart racing with the thrill of it all.This was real. They were mine, and I was theirs, I was officially their Luna. My chest swelled with pride and happiness, emotions rushing over me like a wave. Still feeling a bit dazed, I turned on the shower and let the warm water cascaded over me. Closing my eyes, I breathed deeply, trying to wash away the night while savouring every memory.But then, as I stood there, the faint scent of cinnamon filled the steamy air. I smile
Lyra’s POVI felt our connection solidify, forming a bond so deep and unbreakable that I could feel his every emotion, his every heartbeat resonating within me. His body trembled, he pulled his teeth from my skin, licking the wound to seal it, and I was still lost in bliss, my body shuddering from the aftershocks. Guided by instinct, I leaned up sinking my human teeth into the spot on his neck, claiming him as mine. It took all my strength, but I pushed through, and at moment 1 broke his skin, a fresh surge of pleasure coursed through us both.Keal’s body stilled as he groaned, fill me, his hands gripping me tightly as his release consumed him.My core clenched around him, pulling hin deeper, taking everything he had to give.When the intensity finally subsided, he lame down gently, slipping out of me as I panted, my body trembling, my heart racing.I barely had time to catch my breath beforRonon’s presence filled the room. “Come on, Lyra; you need to rest before Iclain you,” he m
Lyra’s POVI was overwhelmed, lost in waves of pleasure so intense that tears of bliss spilled down my cheeks. “Please,” I whimpered, barely able to form the word, every part of me trembling with raw need.“Mine,” kiro growled, his voice thick with possessive desire, and in that heartbeat, I felt his sharp canines sink into the tender spot on my neck. The instant his teeth pierced my skin, an explosion of ecstasy ripped through me, stronger than anything I had ever felt. My body convulsed, and a cry escaped my lips, filled with the power of th release surging through me.“Ahhhh,” I cried out, clinging to him as he held me tightly, his grip grounding me while his own body trembled against mineKiro didn’t pull back; he kept his teeth in place, his bite marking me as his as he pumped into me with a desperate rhythm, each thrust igniting another wave of pleasure.“Mine,” he growled again, his voice guttural and fierce, each word anchoring me deeper into this moment.
