The boardroom was silent except for the low hum of the air conditioning and the occasional shuffle of papers.

Twenty executives sat around the massive glass table, all eyes on me. Waiting. They always waited for me to speak first. I leaned back in my chair, fingers interlaced, and let the silence stretch just long enough to make them uncomfortable.

"No," I said finally.

Harrison, the lead investor, blinked. Mid-fifties, expensive suit, oozing confidence. "Mr. Knight, if you could just

    LYRA "Zeviar," I whispered, my voice shaking. "What's happening to my sister?" Before he could answer, Willow screamed again. Her back lifted off the floor, her body bending in a way she shouldn’t be. The sound of breaking bones filled the room, sharp enough to turn my stomach. "No, no, no—" I tried to reach for her, but Zeviar caught my arm. "Don't," he said firmly. "You can't touch her right now." "She's dying!" I tried to break free from his grip. "Let me go!" "She's not dying." His grip tightened. "Lyra, look at me." I couldn't. I couldn't look away from Willow writhing on the floor, her body contorting in ways that shouldn't be possible. "Lyra." Zeviar's voice was sharp now. "Look. At. Me." I finally tore my eyes away from Willow and met his eyes. "She's not dying," he repeated, his voice steady. "I need you to trust me." "Then what's happening to her?!" My voice cracked. Willow screamed again, and copper-colored fur began to spread across her arms. I froze. "She's s

    LYRA I couldn't feel anything. Not the leather seat beneath me. Not the low rumble of the engine. Not even the bond that had been screaming at me since I left Orion's office. Everything was numb. Zeviar hadn't said a word since we got in the car. He'd just opened the passenger door, waited for me to get in, then closed it gently behind me like I might break if he moved too quickly. Maybe I would. I stared out the window as the landscape blurred past, dark trees, empty roads, nothing. "Are you okay?" Sky asked quietly. I didn't answer. "Lyra—" “I don't want to talk about it.” "But... he's still your mate," she said carefully. "She said ‘wife’. Not mate. There's a difference, right? Maybe–maybe there's an explanation. Maybe there's still hope?" Her voice was small and hopeful. And it broke something in me. “There's no hope. You saw his face, he didn't deny it,” I replied. "I know. But Rhys—" She stopped. "I don't want to lose him. I don't want to lose what we had." “We

    ZEVIAR The boardroom was silent except for the low hum of the air conditioning and the occasional shuffle of papers. Twenty executives sat around the massive glass table, all eyes on me. Waiting. They always waited for me to speak first. I leaned back in my chair, fingers interlaced, and let the silence stretch just long enough to make them uncomfortable. "No," I said finally. Harrison, the lead investor, blinked. Mid-fifties, expensive suit, oozing confidence. "Mr. Knight, if you could just take a look at the revised numbers—” "I did. The answer is still no." "But the profit margins—" "Are acceptable, but not exceptional." I leaned forward slightly, and Harrison shut his mouth. "I don't do business for acceptable returns. If you want my investment, bring me something worth my time." Silence. Then one of the younger executives cleared his throat. "What would make it worth your time, sir?" I studied him, ambitious and hungry. He reminded me of myself a decade ago. "Double the

    LYRA Orion's arms tightened around me, pulling me closer against his chest. We'd been awake for a while now, just lying there in comfortable silence, watching the morning light filter through the windows. Neither of us seemed in any hurry to move. His fingers traced lazy patterns along my spine, and I shivered despite the warmth. "Are you cold?" he murmured against my hair. "No. I'm just... happy." I felt him smile. "Yeah?" "Yeah." Last night was perfect. More than perfect. It had been everything I didn't know I needed. I didn’t say it out loud; I just thought it to myself. "Good morning," Sky said, sounding unbearably smug. “You already said good morning an hour ago.” "I know. But I wanted to say it again. Because today is a good morning. A very good morning." I bit back a smile. "I'm pretty sure Rhys is happy. We're all happy." “Yes, we are.” Orion shifted slightly, propping himself up on one elbow so he could look down at me. His hair was messy, his eyes still soft with

    LYRA I woke up smiling as the sun streamed through the windows of the guest room, and for a moment, I just lay there, reliving last night. The kiss. God, the kiss. I touched my lips, feeling the ghost of his mouth on mine, and warmth spread through my entire body. "Good morning," Sky said in a singsong voice. “Don't start.” "I'm not starting anything. I'm just saying—we told you so." I rolled my eyes but couldn't stop smiling. "I'm sure Rhys is very happy. And so am I." “I'm happy too.” "Good. Now go find him so we can be even happier." I laughed, shaking my head as I got ready. I found Orion in the kitchen, leaning against the counter with a coffee mug in his hand. He looked up when I entered, and his entire face lit up. "Good morning," he said. "Morning." He set down his mug and crossed over to me, and before I could say anything else, he cupped my face and kissed me. It was slow and sweet. Like it was the most natural thing in the world. When he pulled back, he was

    LYRA I woke to sunlight streaming through the windows and, for a moment, forgot where I was. Then it all came back. Nightshade. Orion. The almost-kiss on the rooftop. I pressed my fingers to my lips, remembering how close we'd been. How much I'd wanted it. "Good morninggg," Sky said, sounding far too pleased with herself. “Morning.” "Are you going to see him today?" “Obviously.” "Good. I have plans." I snorted. “Plans?” "Yes. Plans that involve you and Orion spending as much time together as possible." I shook my head, but I was smiling as I got ready. I got a little lost trying to find my way back to the main areas. The building was bigger than I'd realized, with multiple wings and hallways that all looked similar. I'd just turned down what I hoped was the right corridor when I ran into a woman about my age. "You must be Lyra," she said, smiling. "I'm Sage. You look a little lost." "Very lost," I admitted. "Breakfast?" "Yes please." She laughed and gestured for me to

    ORION The forest stretched endlessly before me as I ran. The cold night air tore through my lungs, sharp and clean. My paws struck the ground in a steady rhythm—each impact grounding me, reminding me I was still here. Still whole. The trees blurred into dark shapes as wind ripped through my f

The late afternoon light framed him in gold, sharp edges and dark shadows. He looked carved from stone—unmoving, unreadable.My heart hammered against

    LYRAThe room was cold.I sat on the edge of a narrow bed, my hands clasped tightly in my lap to keep them from shaking. Fluorescent lights hummed overhead, casting everything in harsh white light. There were no windows and there was no other door except the one the guards had locked behind me.I w
