Lyra

"Keep your stance steady!"

Kael's sharp and commanding voice rang across the training arena.

The warriors immediately adjusted their positions.

I stood several feet away from the arena entrance, watching silently. The clang of weapons striking against one another echoed continuously through the air.

Warriors sparred in groups.

A few were paired off, wrestling each other into the dirt.

And behind it all stood Kael.

His hands were clasped behind his back as he paced slowly between the traine

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   A Beautiful Gift

    MayaThe door burst open without warning.Freya angrily stormed into my room. The handle slammed against the wall with a loud thud, making me pause mid-scroll on my phone.My eyes lifted slowly.She stood in the middle of my room like she owned the space, her chest rising and falling sharply, her arms crossed tightly against her chest. Her face was twisted into an expression of pure irritation—no, not just irritation… frustration and bitterness.“I hate her,” she snapped immediately.“I hate that Lyra girl so much. How can she be laughing and smiling after everything she did to me?” Her voice rose slightly, trembling with anger. “How can she be happy when I feel so miserable?”For a moment, I said nothing. My thumb hovered over my phone screen before I slowly lowered it onto the bed beside me and really looked at her.Freya was breathing hard, her eyes sharp and almost wild with emotion. There was something unstable in the way she stood—like she had been holding all of this in and fin

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   The Upcoming Celebration

    LyraThe kitchen was unusually busy this afternoon.Large baskets of vegetables occupied nearly every corner, while the servants moved in and out carrying sacks of grain and spices. The entire pack was preparing for the Red Full Moon celebration in just a few days' time, and the excitement could practically be felt in the air.I sat beside Gwen on a stool, helping her sort vegetables into separate baskets.At least... I was supposed to be helping.The truth was, I had spent more time watching everyone bustle around than actually helping.This would be my first Red Full Moon celebration in Stormfang Pack. The thought alone filled me with curiosity."Gwen? How is the Red Full Moon celebration celebrated here in the pack? This will actually be my first time experiencing it here."I waited for an answer, but nothing came. I turned my head toward her and noticed that Gwen wasn't paying attention to me at all.Her fingers absentmindedly plucked at the vegetables in her hands in a completely

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   It's All Over

    HarryThe room suddenly felt smaller.No.No.No.If Caleb was here… then…A creaking sound interrupted my thoughts. My gaze snapped toward the large rocking chair facing the window.The chair slowly turned, and my heart nearly stopped.There he was… Ronan… sitting comfortably in the chair, watching me with the same cold eyes and calm expression.He… he had been sitting there all along?A small smile touched his lips.“It’s been such a long time, Harry.”My entire body locked up. I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think.Ronan was here.For a second, my mind refused to accept it. Then survival instinct immediately took over.My hand went straight to my cross bag.I didn’t think. I just acted.My fingers closed around the gun I had kept hidden inside. In one smooth motion, I pulled it out and aimed it at him without hesitati

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   The Trap Springs

    HarryI walked through the apartment door behind Rocky.The moment both of us stepped inside, the door slammed shut behind us with a heavy metallic click.My instincts immediately sharpened.Without thinking, my hand moved to the strap of the cross bag hanging across my shoulder. My fingers curled around it tightly as my eyes swept across the room.The interior wasn't exactly what I had expected.The outside of the apartment had looked abandoned, but the inside was different. It looked very old, but clean.The cream-colored walls showed cracks in some places, but someone had clearly taken the time to maintain them.A large antique clock hung against one wall, and several old paintings decorated the room.Near the far end stood a massive rocking chair that sat directly facing a large window, but the chair's back was turned toward us.I turned toward Rocky."Where's the client?"Rocky offered an awkward smile."Relax," Rocky said quickly. "Exercise some patience. He's here."Just then,

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   The Last Deal

    HarryI looked to my left, then my right.The alley was empty. Dead quiet. Only the weak light from a flickering street light above me and the distant sound of traffic far away.Still… I didn’t move.My hand stayed on the edge of my hood as I pulled it lower over my face, hiding as much of my face as I could.Too many eyes. Too many ears.I exhaled slowly, then finally stepped out of the alley. Across the road, a black vehicle with black tinted windows waited with its engine running.I crossed quickly, head down, shoulders tight, every step felt like a risk.When I reached the car, I didn’t waste time. I pulled the passenger door open and slipped inside fast, shutting it behind me. The moment I was inside, I leaned back and let out a heavy breath.The car started moving, that was when I finally pulled the hood off my head and ran a hand through my hair. That anger and burning, choking frustration suddenly hit me again.“What the fuck is wrong with everything?!” I snapped angrily. “I c

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   Admittance

    LyraI gasped.The moment I stepped through the hallway behind Kael and emerged into the space beyond, it felt as if I had walked into another world entirely."What in the world..."My feet stopped moving.I simply stood there and stared.The place before me looked nothing like the building we had just entered.It was enormous.A living, breathing paradise.Towering trees stretched toward the sky, their branches weaving together overhead like a natural canopy. Sunlight filtered through the leaves in golden beams, dancing across the ground below.Monkeys swung effortlessly from branch to branch above us.One leaped through the air and landed on another tree, causing a shower of leaves to flutter down.Another sat comfortably on a thick branch, munching on fruit while watching the world below.My gaze drifted farther, and I saw a small lake on one side of the path. Its surface was covered with beautiful floating plants and broad green leaves.Clusters of purple water hyacinths bloomed a

    Lyra“What do you mean the Alpha isn’t in the pack?”I stared at Agnes, waiting for her to say she had misspoken… that Kael was simply busy somewhere inside the pack house and would arrive any second.But Agnes only hesitated.That alone made dread settle heavily inside me.“The Alpha…” she began c

    LyraThe entire arena erupted instantly.“What?!”“She stole it?”“I knew something felt suspicious!”The loud whispers hit me all at once.My mind went blank for a second.What? My wardrobe?I stared at Freya in disbelief.And in that moment, I saw it clearly.The slight pause before her words… th

    LyraThe door suddenly burst open with a loud bang.I jolted awake instantly.My body reacted before my mind even fully caught up, every nerve in me snapping alert as I sat up sharply on the bed, breathing unevenly.For one disoriented second, panic rushed through me.Ever since that horrible night

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   Stolen Kiss

    LyraI stood outside Alpha Kael’s study, my hand hovering near the door for a brief moment before I knocked.“Enter.”I pushed the door open and stepped inside.Alpha Kael was seated behind his desk, surrounded by neatly stacked documents. The faint sound of paper shifting filled the room as he sha
