Ronon’s POV

When Bianca finally appeared, her face held a hint of anxiety that made my gut tighten further. “Alpha,” she greeted softly, her eyes darting around as if she sensed something was wrong.

“What was put in the wine?” I demanded, cutting to the chase. Bianca shook her head quickly, looking alarmed.

“Nothing, Alpha. It’s the usual batch from the cellar. Luna Lyra selected it herself,” she replied, but her words didn’t sit right with me. I could feel something was off.

This wasn’t just wine. There was a thickness, a darkness to it, as if something had been mixed in—wolfsbane, perhaps.

The thought chilled me. Wolfsbane was designed to dull our senses, to make us weak, unable to link, unable to feel or think clearly. Someone was trying to ensure we weren’t at our best tonight.

I held onto my cup tightly, fighting off the haziness that was slowly settling over my mind. I called for my Beta, William, needing him to run a test on the wine, to confirm what I was already certain of. T

    Lyra’s POVRonon cleared his throat, wiping his tears.“We’ll have to put you in the seclusion cell and bring you out for trial in the evening,” he said, his tone hollow. “The Elders of the North will demand the truth. We can’t overturn their judgment.”I frowned, confusion breaking through my sadness.“The Elders? Who are they?” I asked, feeling lost in a world that seemed darker with every passing moment.Keal sighed heavily. “The North has a council of Elders,” he explained. “Even though Lycans Alphas rule because of their strength, the Elders judge matters of law, family, and justice. This situation falls under their authority. They reside in Tealberg, and with the witnesses who saw what happened… they’ve likely already been informed. We have no way of hiding this from them, Lyra.”The realization hit me with brutal clarity. My future with them hung by a thread. My innocence was in question, and nothing seemed certain anymore. The love we shared, the life we’d begun to build—it

  • Mistaken by fate(the Lycans curse)   071: preparing for trials 1

    Lyra’s POVI stood in the shower, shivering despite the warmth of the water and the steady arms of my mates around me. A cold fear settled deep within my chest, whispering that things would never be the same again. I hadn’t invited Gregory into my room, and I certainly hadn’t slept with him. But I knew how it would look to everyone else—that was the truth that hurt the most.My heart ached with the injustice of it all. How was I supposed to prove my innocence? It felt like every accusation, every whispered doubt I had ever faced had finally caught up to me, looming now like a dark shadow I couldn’t escape.Ronon gently wrapped a towel around me, drying my tears along with the water on my face. His touch was tender, but I could feel the tension in his hands, the heaviness hanging in the air as he guided me back to his bedroom. Keal and Dax followed closely behind, their expressions mirroring my own anguish and confusion.They wanted to protect me—I could feel that—but this situation ha

  • Mistaken by fate(the Lycans curse)   070: Hearts i. Tirmoil2

    Ronon’s POVI moved towards Lyra, scooping her into my arms despite the ache of doubt clawing at my mind. Whatever else was true or false she was still my mate, and I would not let a stranger see me question her loyalty. I looked at Gregory with a hardness I didn’t even recognize in myself.“The deal is off, Merchant. It would be best for you to leave while you still have the chance,” I said, my voice barely more than a growl, thick with fury and shame.Lyra’s sobs wracked her body as I held her, but I kept my face cold, my words clipped.“I didn’t do anything,” she whispered, her voice breaking. “I swear to you…”I didn’t answer, biting down my own hurt as we stepped into the hallway, A small crowd had gathered, their eyes wide withcuriosity and judgment. A deep growl escaped me, and I glared at them, the command clear: Mind your own business.Slowly, they dispersed, but the damage was done. The rumour would spread, and this would be all anyone spoke of for days, maybe weeks. I’d h

  • Mistaken by fate(the Lycans curse)   069: Heart in Turmoil

    Ronon’s POVI woke up with a splitting headache, the pain so intense it seemed to throb with my every heartbeat. As I groaned, the memories of the night before came rushing back, and a terrible realisation struck me—it had to have been wolfsbane in our drinks.That was the only reason why we would all wake up like this, heads pounding and memories foggy. Shaking off the pain as best as I could, I nudged Dax and Keal awake. They stirred, groggy and confused, but eventually managed to sit up, their faces mirroring my own discomfort.Needing relief, I headed to my room for painkillers, but as soon as I entered, something felt off. The room was empty, the bed undisturbed. Lyra’s scent, usually lingering softly in the air, was absent. My stomach twisted. Had she not slept here last night? Anxiety prickled at the edges of my mind as I left my room and checked both Dax’s and Keal’s rooms, hoping she’d simply ended up there. But she wasn’t there either. A cold dread began to creep in.“Where

  • Mistaken by fate(the Lycans curse)   067: something In the wine 2

    Ronon’s POVI needed Gregory’s help for trade in the North, but every time I saw him casting those lingering looks at Lyra, my stomach tightened with anger.He was being more than friendly, and she, for some reason, seemed to welcome it, laughing a little too warmly at his jokes, her eyes shining just a bit too brightly. I knew I couldn’t reprimand her in front of him; that would be unfair and humiliating. So, I gritted my teeth, forcing myself to stay silent, to swallow down the bitter frustration building up inside me. I didn’t let out a breath until she elegantly turned him down when he asked her to dance. That brought me a small wave of relief, but it didn’t wash away my worry entirely.Why was I even worried? Lyra was ours—claimed and marked. Yet, I couldn’tshake the nervous tension that gnawed at me, the lingering fear that maybe, just maybe, Gregory was getting to her. He looked at her with a hunger that made my blood boil, as if he were under her spell. And maybe he was —Lyra
