LOGIN“Too wet, baby…” On the night of Lyra’s 18th birthday, she was planning to propose to her mate, Rowan—until she walked in on him having sex with her best friend, Callia. Heartbroken, Lyra begged her Alpha father to banish them both, but he dropped a bombshell: Callia is her half-sister. As an Alpha-blooded she-wolf, Lyra was required to join the Alpha King’s Queen Luna Selection. Out of revenge, she exposed Callia as an illegitimate girl, forcing her and Rowan apart. When they arrived at the palace, Callia quickly turned the other candidates against her. One night, while walking back to her room alone, Lyra caught a scent that made her and her wolf go wild. She followed it to an unfamiliar room—only to find a stunning naked man pleasuring himself. His jet-black hair and glowing golden eyes sent a jolt through her entire body. Who was he? And if the Alpha King found out she’d barged into a naked man’s room in the middle of the night… would he kill her?

Turning to the entrance, Valrik entered into the chambers flanked by two guards with swords. “There will be no such thing as an execution.” His declaration was hard as stone, and as he paused at the centre of the room, his gaze momentarily met with mine. I felt a small smile creep up on my lips. “But, your majesty…” Elder Soren walked up to him, “She…” he pointed at me, “broke the law. She's no longer a virgin and she must face the punishment of lying to the Royal family.” “And I said you will do no such thing!” Valrik snapped and his words bounced against the walls of the room in a thunderous echo. Goosebumps crawled up my skin. Valrik was…defending me? What made him believe me over his own council? Once again, his gaze met mine and I swear, his eyes softened a bit. If my heart sing, it would probably belt a chorus right at that moment upon seeing the look in h
Lyra’s POVThe guards that came along with the elders escorted me to the council chamber. I was surprised, wondering what the urgent summon was all about but when I stepped into the chamber and saw Brenna and Callia already seated, I knew exactly what I was there for. Callia and Brenna’s eyes narrowed at me as I walked in. I tried to ignore their disdainful look, but it was hard not to feel uneasy as it accompanied every step I took my seat. Only then did they look away, snorting and huffing respectively. I sucked in a huge breath. Elder Soren mounted the podium in front of us and looked between the three of us before his gaze ultimately settled on me—and hardened. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, my brows fusing together as I wondered why everyone was being especially hostile. “Lyra, it has come to our notice that your innocence as a woman has become…compromised.” He cleared his throat, “That goes against our code of conduct as the rules state that each candidate must be and r
LYRA'S POVValrik tore his gaze away from me and looked down at my injuries one last time and his brows furrowed a bit. “It has started to scab.” He confirmed. I nodded, that was a good thing. However, before I could say anything else he reached forward and scooped me into his arms so suddenly that I let out a yelp. “W-what are you doing?” My face had immediately flushed red and I felt tingles going up my spine. I was already mortified from everything that had already happened, like it didn't help matters that I had kissed him or cried in front of him or come this close to dying in his arms.I didn’t want him to carry me. Goddess help me, I didn’t want him to carry me.I didn’t want to feel his arms around me again, didn’t want to be pressed against his chest with his heartbeat pounding steady beneath my cheek, didn’t want to smell the cool sharpness of the spring water still clinging to his skin, didn’t want to feel how careful he was being with me.“I'm fine you know…I can walk,
LYRA'S POVDear Gods!I instinctively tried to pull my leg back because the position was too humiliating, but his grip was strong. Impossibly strong, and the moment I tugged even a little. His hand tightened, not roughly, not in a way that hurt, but with just enough pressure to lock me in place. His eyes lifted briefly to mine and I went still, my hands trembling as they hovered uncertainty over my lap.I felt my face burning and I hated that he could affect me like this, that a single glance could silence me when I was supposed to be stronger than this, supposed to have a spine.But then his gaze dropped again, and I realized—he wasn’t doing this to humiliate me or punish me or anything like that, he was checking my ankle.My freaking ankle. I’d forgotten, somehow, that there was a wound there, that I’d been poisoned, that I’d nearly died, and I blinked down in shock as he tilted my leg slightly, adjusting the angle to get a better look.The pain was gone.I glanced down and saw t
