  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE    Keep Her From Them

    Lyra's Pov‎‎I sit down across from Marcus with a vision still burning in my eyes, and I let him see that I have already seen something, because it is the only way he will finally stop deciding what I can handle.‎‎I sat across from Marcus in the small receiving room where he had been waiting. The letter was in my pocket. The vision was fresh. I was not angry, which seemed to disarm him more than anger would. "I need you to tell me about the man who gave me to you, " I said. ‎‎Marcus went pale. The blood left his face completely. His hands pressed flat to the table. "How do you know about that."‎‎"I am Oracle," I said simply. I have been seeing pieces of my own life in fragments for months now. I am not asking you to tell me something I do not already partly know. I am asking you to fill in what I am missing." ‎‎A long silence during which Marcus appeared to be calculating something, weighing the cost of continuing to protect a secret against the cost of watching his daughter

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE    Believed Eliminated

    Lyra's Pov‎I have spent my entire life being told what I am, and every single version of it has been a careful, loving lie.‎‎I stood alone with the photograph for a long moment before I allowed anyone else to speak. It was not denial. It was not the kind of collapse I might have expected from myself given everything the last twenty-four hours had already asked of me. It was quieter and more complicated. The specific exhaustion of someone whose identity has been revised too many times in too short a period. Oracle. Marked mate. Luna. Contract bride. Mother-to-be. And now this. A carrier of a bloodline the world had agreed to call eliminated before I was even born. ‎‎Theron watched me from across the room with his new Ward-Bearer understanding sitting just as fresh and disorienting in his own chest. Both of us revised in the same hour, both of us handed new names for things we had always been without ever knowing there were names for them. It created a strange, shared stillness bet

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE    What He Found

    Lyra's Pov ‎Theron comes home with his sister and a silence that tells me his discovery is not about the rescue at all. ‎ ‎Theron and Garrett's combined forces arrived at Northern Territory before dawn. Maren was among them, physically unharmed as far as I could see from a distance, but visibly shaken by how close her "correction" came. I met Theron at the gate. The bond was now fully restored and I could feel him clearly again, but carrying something underneath the reunion warmth that I could not yet identify. His arms came around me immediately and fierce. The specific quality of the hold felt different from our usual reunions. Less like a man reclaiming something that belonged to him and more like someone checking, with his whole body, that something real was still standing in front of him. ‎ ‎Maren watched this exchange with an expression I could not fully read. Complicated, private, and slightly guilty in a way that had nothing to do with the rescue itself. The reunion was r

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE    The One Who Chose Love Over History

    Lyra's Pov‎‎Vasha's grandmother knew the man she called the Fracture Wolf, and I suddenly understood that Marcus's unfinished confession was only the edge of a much larger truth.‎‎I pressed Vasha immediately. The bond was still dark. Theron was still unreachable. The urgency of the rescue was still present. But whatever Vasha had just said could not wait, and some part of me understood that the two things, the rescue and this revelation, were more connected than they appeared. ‎‎"Tell me everything you know," I said. "Everything your grandmother said. Do not filter it for me". ‎‎Vasha nodded slowly and gathered herself. "My grandmother was one of the few old family members who lived through the period before the great Oracle purge. Before the current hierarchy fully consolidated its power. She was young then, but she remembered it. She rarely spoke about that time at all. It was not a comfortable subject in our household. But once, only once, she told me about a man who disrup

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE    The Connection Snaps

    Lyra's Pov ‎ ‎The bond goes silent between us, and in that silence I understand something I never wanted to know: I have been relying on it the same way I once relied on believing Derek loved me. Like a certainty I never tested. ‎ ‎I was standing in the war room when it happened. One moment Theron's presence was there, The next moment it was gone. Not fading. Not distance stretching thin the way it sometimes did when he was far across the estate. Cut. Severed. Like something had reached in and simply removed it. The sudden absence hit like cold water straight into my chest. My hand went to the edge of the table, needing something solid to hold onto while the rest of me tried to understand what had just happened. Not the distance that severed it. ‎ ‎This was not distance. Distance did not feel like this. This was deliberate. Something in the facility where Maren was being held, something built specifically to interrupt exactly the kind of connection we shared. Old family suppres

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE    Declaration

    ‎Lyra's Pov ‎ ‎An act of war means something specific in old Continental law, and Calla's hands will not stop shaking long enough to fully explain what. ‎ ‎Calla burst into our private quarters without knocking. She held a single sheet of parchment that had apparently appeared on her own desk overnight despite every ward we had placed around the estate. On it was drawn, in precise and ancient script, the exact symbol of the Continental Oracle Council seal that had not been used in three hundred years. The one that meant only one thing: the old families were not just hunting an Oracle child anymore. They were formally declaring, for the first time since the original purge, that the Convergence itself was now considered an act of war. ‎ ‎Calla tried to steady her voice, but her hands kept shaking. "An act of war," she said. "Under old Continental law, the kind that has not been invoked in three hundred years. It grants them legal cover to act openly, with overwhelming force,

    The forest doesn't care that my heart is breaking.I crash through the trees like something is chasing me, even though the only thing behind me is the image of Derek's teeth in Ivy's neck. My silver dress catches on branches and rips, but I keep running. Heels? I kicked them off miles back. Sharp s

    Tonight, Derek finally marks me, and I can stop pretending I don't see the pity in everyone's eyes when they look at us. I stand in front of the small mirror in my bedroom, turning side to side. The silver dress catches the light with every movement. It is simple but pretty, the kind of dress that
