Lyra's POV

Slowly, I turned to face him.

“About the bargain,” he murmured. “It’s only on for a limited time.”

I shut my eyes in frustration. His provocative words irritated me, but I managed to contain my anger as I flung my eyes back open. “I'll submit the solved problems before I sleep. I want to start working tomorrow morning,” I said.

His gaze lifted slightly, as if amused by my response. “Well, if you managed to solve the problems within such a short period, it would be a waste of talent n

    Lyra's POVSlowly, I turned to face him.“About the bargain,” he murmured. “It’s only on for a limited time.”I shut my eyes in frustration. His provocative words irritated me, but I managed to contain my anger as I flung my eyes back open. “I'll submit the solved problems before I sleep. I want to start working tomorrow morning,” I said.His gaze lifted slightly, as if amused by my response. “Well, if you managed to solve the problems within such a short period, it would be a waste of talent not to have a genius like you working for me.”I batted my lashes once, and without another word, I turned to leave.~The following morning, I finished dressing in a matching coral suit before 8:45 a.m., ready for my new job. The previous night, I'd been confident I could solve the technical problems, even though they looked so complex. Thankfully, Valdren had kept his word and granted me a position in his tech company as a Cyber Intelligence Analyst, claiming he needed more people in that area

    Lyra's POV My lashes fluttered erratically as I processed his words. He knew Elena had come to me. What she said about him being unable to reach climax was true. And now, he wanted me to— Hell no! “I'm not doing that!” I snapped, maintaining his piercing gaze. He chuckled lightly before lowering his hand from my chin. “Fine,” he muttered. “You should leave now. I need a private moment with my real mistress.” I glared at him for a moment in silence before snatching the blade from his desk and hurrying out. Without sparing Elena a glance, I stormed past her and slammed the door behind me. What a heartless monster! I cursed under my breath as I marched back to my room. ~ The next day, late in the evening, I began dialing Ava's number at exactly 9 p.m. She picked up on the first ring. “Hi, Lyra,” she said calmly into the phone. “Ava,” I said, unsure of what to say first. There was a brief silence between us before she spoke again. “You don't have to say anything.

    Lyra's POVI froze at her words. “How did you know what I asked for?” I demanded, looking at her.“I came from the Mind-Weaver bloodline,” she stated frankly, putting on a cheeky smile.“So, you read minds?” I asked in dismay.“Yeah. But only when I want to and I’m allowed to,” she said with a small shrug.“Seriously? You've been reading my mind all this while?” I stood, my eyes pressing her down in disbelief.She sighed so calmly. “No. I've not been,” she murmured. “I mean, your wolf never allowed me to read your mind until earlier today, when you stepped out of his room.”“My wolf?”She smiled faintly, still calmly seated. “Yes. Your not-so-robust wolf.”“So, that's what you do? Invading people's privacy without being given permission to?” I asked, my lashes flicking with irritation.“Okay, fine! I'm sorry. I just wanted to know why you were so angry,” she said, sounding somewhat sincere.“I'm still pissed. What are you even doing here?” I repeated.To my surprise, she smirked. “Why

    Lyra's POV My eyes twitched slightly at his last request. I had just revealed to him crucial information that no one but me could have provided, yet he wanted something else? “Time's running,” he muttered, bringing my hand off his chest and shifting slightly to concentrate on adjusting his cufflinks. “I think I offered enough,” I muttered, turning slightly to look at him. “I’m literally the one asking to be claimed here despite not being your mate. I know of the unavoidable consequences attached to that.” He smirked as he focused on me again. “You know no Alpha makes any woman his Luna without marking her first.” I rolled my eyes slightly. “Fine. You also have my loyalty,” I said frustratingly. “Just until I have my revenge. I'm not planning to be bound to you forever.” He released a subtle chortle, his amber eyes pressing me down. “I command loyalty, little wolf,” he whispered. “Well, mine can't be commanded,” I said, looking him in the eye. “And that's why I'm offering i

    Lyra's POV “Killing you will be too merciful,” he breathed against my lips, his grip still firm around my chin. He studied every flicker of emotion across my face for a few seconds before finally releasing me and taking a step backward. “Leave,” he ordered, his voice cold and final. I remained against the wall, staring at him in stunned silence. He was really letting me go unpunished? “Don't make me repeat myself,” he stated calmly, his gaze hardening. Without another word, I simply obeyed. As I walked through the corridor back to my room, I couldn't help but wonder why he had decided to spare me. “I see you already have his attention. That worries me, Lyra.” Elena's voice suddenly cut through my thoughts. There, I saw her leaning against a door a few feet away, her arms loosely folded. I stopped in front of her. "Why? You care that he might kill me soon like the rest of his mistresses, or are you just jealous?” She chuckled softly, shaking her head. I frowned, my

  • Rise Of The Marked Luna    Chapter 4

    Lyra's POV The moment he walked into the room, the men around the long table immediately straightened. I hesitated at the doorway for a few seconds before finally following him inside. There were five men seated around the table, all dressed in dark suits bearing his golden wolf crest. Their attention briefly shifted toward me before returning to their Alpha. "Continue," Valdren ordered, taking his place at the head of the table while ignoring the displeased looks on their faces. One of the men cleared his throat. "As we were saying, Alpha, Alpha Jake officially named his twins as the Crescent Pack's heirs yesterday during a feast involving only his pack council. In a week from now, he will re-announce them during another feast involving the Alphas and Lunas from across the four territories.” My fingers curled. Sarah had really meant what she said about celebrating my replacement while handing me off to a man I'd never met until yesterday. "And?" Valdren prompted. "The an
