Reborn & Became The Alpha's Obsession CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
꧁ JAXON'S POVThomas called it a gesture of unity. “The family should be present,” he said, straightening his jacket in the hallway mirror like a man rehearsing for an audience. “Shows the Alpha we stand behind Lyra. Shows the council we're a united front.”I knew better. Thomas didn't care about unity. He cared about being seen standing beside power, and if that meant riding along on Aurelia's excuse to visit her sister, he'd take the seat gladly.I went anyway. Told myself it was for Lyra, not for whatever tangled thing had been growing in my chest since the courtship went public. I almost believed it by the time the car passed through the Greyson gates.The estate was larger than anything I'd grown up around, staff moving with the particular discipline of a pack that took its rank seriously — Betas overseeing sections of the grounds, an Omega escort assigned to guide visitors who didn't already know the layout, the whole place organized in a hierarchy I only half understood and Lyr
Reborn & Became The Alpha's Obsession CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
꧁ AURELIA'S POVI arrived at Greyson territory with a single suitcase and a story already rehearsed, the kind of visit that looked like devotion and cost me nothing to perform.“I just couldn't stay away,” I told the Beta who greeted me at the gate, my voice pitched soft and a little tired, the exact register of a sister who'd worried herself thin. “With the ceremony coming, I wanted to be here for her. Family should be, shouldn't they?”He nodded, sympathetic, already waving me through without a second thought. Getting past the household staff had never been the hard part. They saw what they expected to see, and I'd spent my whole life learning exactly what people expected.The noble circles took slightly more effort, though not much. I found Priscilla within the hour, sitting with two other women I didn't yet know by name, and let myself be drawn into their circle with the practiced reluctance of someone who hadn't meant to share so much.“It must be strange,” one of the women said,

꧁ LYRA'S POVGrace found me the next morning in the library, staring at a stack of ceremonial protocols thick enough to double as a doorstop.“You look like someone handed you a legal contract in a language you don't speak,” she said, dropping into the chair across from me without waiting for an invitation.“That's fairly accurate.”“Good. Better to start honest.” She reached over, flipped the binder shut, and set it aside like it had personally offended her. “Nobody learns this from a book. Ask me instead.”“Where do I even start?”“With the parts that'll actually get you in trouble first.” She counted off on her fingers, brisk, no wasted motion. “Dispute mediation — pack members bring grievances to the Luna before they escalate to the Alpha. You listen, you rule, you don't play favorites even when one side has more money than the other. Charitable oversight — every noble family runs some pet project to look generous, and half of them are actually generous. You'll learn which half fa
Reborn & Became The Alpha's Obsession CHAPTER NINETEEN
꧁ ASHER'S POVThe council chamber sat twelve, and today all twelve were watching me the way they watched everything that threatened to shift the balance of who held power in this territory.Marcus opened without preamble, which was itself a strategy — get ahead of anyone else framing the conversation first. “I want to be clear this isn't personal,” he said, folding his hands on the table like a man about to deliver difficult but necessary news. “It's procedural. We have an Alpha claiming a mate bond formed within days, with a woman who has no prior standing in any pack, adopted into a Beta family with no political weight of its own. That timeline alone warrants scrutiny.”“The timeline isn't in question,” I said. “The bond is real. I've confirmed it myself.”“I don't doubt your sincerity.” Marcus's tone stayed smooth, reasonable, the exact register that made him dangerous — he wasn't attacking Lyra, wasn't attacking me directly, just attacking the shape of events in a way that sounded
Reborn & Became The Alpha's Obsession CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
꧁ LYRA'S POVI let the silence sit half a second longer than comfortable before I answered, the way I'd learned worked better than rushing to fill it.“I imagine rumors travel faster than truth in every pack,” I said, keeping my voice level, almost pleasant. “I look forward to you learning the difference yourself, Priscilla.”Her smile flickered, just barely, the particular stutter of someone who'd expected a blush or a stammer and gotten neither. “Of course,” she said, recovering fast. “I only meant—”“I know exactly what you meant.” I held her gaze a beat longer than she wanted, long enough that she was the one who looked away first. “It's fine. I'm not fragile.”Asher didn't say anything. He didn't need to. He simply shifted half a step closer, not crowding me, not speaking for me, just close enough that anyone watching understood exactly where he stood without him having to announce it. I noticed the restraint in that more than I noticed the gesture itself — a man used to solving
Reborn & Became The Alpha's Obsession CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
꧁ LYRA'S POVI packed my whole life into two suitcases, and it took less than an hour.That should have meant something sad. In my old life it would have — this exact scene had played out as a funeral once, Jaxon's ring on my finger, my mother's practiced tears, a house pretending to grieve a departure it had engineered from the start. This time I folded my clothes without ceremony, checked the room once for anything left behind, and found nothing worth the extra look.Eleanor found me on the stairs, already performing whatever version of this moment she'd decided suited her best.“I can't believe you're really leaving,” she said, hand pressed to her chest like the words cost her something. “Our little Lyra, a future Luna.”“You'll manage.” I shifted the suitcase to my other hand. “You always do.”“Write to us. Often.” She reached for a hug I let happen without leaning into it. “And remember everything we've done for you, won't you? All those years.”“I remember everything,” I said, a

꧁ LYRA'S POVMy head was pounding.I groaned, pressing my palm against my forehead as consciousness slowly returned. The sheets beneath me were impossibly soft, far nicer than anything I owned, and they smelled like cedar and winter and…Oh god.Memory crashed over me in waves. The club. The dare.

꧁ ASHER'S POVI stared at the woman sleeping in my bed, and for the first time in fifteen years, I felt something.Actually felt something.It should have been impossible. The curse which had turned me into the famous ice king was very clear…you will never feel for anyone…not until you find your m

Oh.My God!This wasn't like any kiss I'd ever experienced. In fact calling this a kiss had to be some sort of crime because a kiss isn’t supposed to feel like fire and electricity pulsing through every nerve ending and making my body come alive.Or was it?What did I know?His other hand found m

The bass thrummed through my chest as Maya pulled me through the entrance of Midnight Den, the most exclusive club in our pack territory. "I still can't believe you actually wanted to come out tonight!" Maya shouted over the loud music, her dark curls bouncing as she led me toward the VIP section.
