Owned for the Alpha's pleasure What the Moon Knows
The realization settled over the study like a held breath."Everyone close to us," Kieran repeated slowly. "My Alpha, that includes the senior staff, the council members, the people who have served this pack for years.""I am aware of what it includes," Draven said grimly. "Which is exactly why it must be considered."Lyra watched the weight of this settle across every face in the room. Zara stood frozen, the discovered evidence still trembling slightly in her hands as the implications of being deliberately framed pressed down on her. Whatever animosity existed between them, Lyra felt a flicker of genuine sympathy for the fear now evident in the other woman's eyes."Evelyn Frostmere," Lyra said suddenly, a memory surfacing. "She was the one who brought Kieran the letter about the leaked information, the day in the training yard.""She has served this palace for years," Kieran said, though his tone carried less certainty than his words."And she would know palace schedules intimately,"
Owned for the Alpha's pleasure Zara's Poison
The revelation about Mira changed everything.By sunrise, the atmosphere within the palace had transformed entirely. What had once been an investigation focused on external threats now felt far more dangerous. The enemy was no longer a shadow lurking beyond the palace walls. The enemy was inside.Draven wasted no time responding to the new information. Before dawn had fully broken, he doubled the guards assigned to both Lyra and Mira. Every entrance to the healing wing was watched. Additional warriors patrolled the corridors, and no servant was allowed near either woman without clearance.The palace felt tense, as though everyone could sense that something had shifted, even if they did not yet know exactly what.While the guards strengthened security, Elara spent the entire night buried beneath piles of records. Missing sedative vials, staff schedules, healer inventories, and servant rotations were spread across tables and desks throughout her workspace.She worked tirelessly, compari
Owned for the Alpha's pleasure Torn Between Duty and Need
The throne room felt different this time, the morning light pale through the high windows as Zara Black was escorted in, flanked by two guards, her composure carefully arranged despite the circumstances.Lyra stood at Draven's side, exactly where Kieran had taught her to stand, and watched Zara's eyes flicker to her briefly before settling on Draven with practiced calm."You said you have information," Draven said, his voice giving nothing away."I do," Zara said. "About the night someone attempted to take her." She nodded toward Lyra without quite looking at her. "I know I am the obvious suspect, given everything between us. Which is exactly why I came forward.""Go on," Draven said."I saw someone near the servants' passage that night," Zara said. "Late, after the horns had quieted but before dawn. A figure I did not recognize, moving carefully, avoiding the main corridors." She paused. "I did not think much of it until I heard what had happened. I assumed, given the chaos of the bo
Owned for the Alpha's pleasure The Beta's Warning
The silence in the interrogation chamber stretched unbearably.Mira stood frozen in the doorway, her eyes wide with confusion and dawning fear as every gaze in the room remained fixed on her. "I do not understand," she said, her voice small. "What letters. I have never spoken to anyone outside this palace."Draven's expression had hardened into something unreadable, the careful Alpha mask sliding fully into place despite whatever uncertainty he might have felt beneath it. "Mira Dawnvale," he said evenly. "Step inside. Close the door."She obeyed, trembling visibly now, and Lyra felt a surge of protectiveness toward the girl who had shown her nothing but kindness since her first night in this palace."This does not mean she is involved," Lyra said quietly, though she addressed the room generally. "A name in a letter is not proof of anything.""It is proof," Lucien said coldly, "that Azrik believes there is reason to investigate her."Silas, still bound to his chair, looked between the
Owned for the Alpha's pleasure Hunger Without a Name
Magnus Thornfang's private study smelled of old parchment and woodsmoke.Lyra sat across from him the following morning, the elder's weathered face unreadable as he studied her in silence for a long moment before speaking. Draven had left her at the door, true to his promise, though she had felt the reluctance radiating from him as he walked away."You are wondering why I wanted to speak with you alone," Magnus said finally."Yes.""There are aspects of the Moonfire bloodline that involve a mate," he said carefully, "that an Alpha, particularly one as protective as Draven has already become, finds difficult to hear discussed plainly." His eyes held hers. "I find it kinder to explain certain things to you directly, so you understand your own body and instincts, rather than having him filter that explanation through his own fear for you."Lyra felt a flicker of unease. "What kind of aspects?""The bond between you and Draven settled completely on the first night," Magnus said. "That is
Owned for the Alpha's pleasure The Price of Defiance
The ride back to Silver Claw was tense and largely silent, Draven's warriors maintaining tight formation around them, every set of eyes scanning the tree line for further ambush. Lyra rode close beside Draven, his hand finding hers periodically as though needing the reassurance of contact, his expression carved from stone in the way she now recognized meant he was holding something dangerous carefully in check.They reached the palace gates as evening settled over the territory, and the moment the heavy doors closed behind them, Draven's controlled composure cracked."You should not have been in that clearing," he said, rounding on her the instant they were alone in his chambers, his voice tight with the fear he had been suppressing for hours."You agreed I should come," Lyra said evenly."I was wrong." He paced the length of the room, his hands raking through his hair, a gesture of frustration she had not seen from him before. "I let you convince me, and today proved exactly why that
Owned for the Alpha's pleasure The Omega's Fire
Lyra told them everything she could remember.She sat by the fire with Draven across from her, Elara nearby, and walked through the morning Viktor had told her, the weeks before that, anything that might be relevant. Viktor's debts had been mounting for months, that much she had known. But she had
Owned for the Alpha's pleasure Secrets in the Stone
Lyra spent the morning in Draven's chambers exactly as instructed, though stillness did not come easily.She bathed in the adjoining room, finding clothes that had clearly been left for her use, soft dark fabric that fit better than anything she had worn since arriving. The mark at her throat was v
Owned for the Alpha's pleasure Marked by the King
She woke before he did.Pale grey light was just beginning to touch the windows of his chambers, and Lyra lay still for a long moment, feeling the unfamiliar weight of an arm draped across her, the steady rhythm of breathing behind her, the warmth of a body that had been a stranger seventy two hour
Owned for the Alpha's pleasure The Claiming Night
The horns did not stop for an hour.Lyra stood at the window of her chamber and watched the courtyard transform below, warriors pouring from the barracks in organized waves, Orion's voice carrying across the stone as he barked formations, the heavy gates groaning open to let mounted scouts through
