The Alpha's Fated Desire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THREE
{Lyra}I sat there for a while, pondering my next move. I still couldn’t move, but my tongue tingled every once in a while, and I had a crazy idea to try and speak.My voice cracked on the way out, rough from disuse, but somehow, it made it through the heavy silence. One of the figures in the corner lifted her head.“Mace,” I tried again, louder this time.She turned, her eyes flicking toward me with suspicion. I willed my gaze to hold hers like it mattered more than breathing.“What did you just say?” she muttered.“Mace… It’s me. Lyra.”She stood slowly, chains clinking as she did, and stalked across the cell like a cautious predator. When she got close enough to see my face, her lips curled into a snarl.“Nice try, witch.”“No, no—it’s not her. It’s not Alissa. I swear, it’s me,” I said quickly, blinking hard, trying to force some truth into my eyes. “I don’t know how to prove it, but I’m me, Mace. I’m Lyra.”Mace squinted. “You expect me to believe that after everything that’s hap
The Alpha's Fated Desire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-TWO
{Lyra}The first thing I noticed was the sky. It was grey and heavy with clouds. The second thing was the unmistakable scent of home.Not my real home, of course. That was long gone, burned to ash by betrayal and time. But the place my heart had stupidly started calling home before everything fell apart—Dominic’s mansion.At least what was left of it.Alissa, who was still very much the pilot of my body, stood tall beside Varen as he led the way through the iron gates, but I felt her pulse quicken by the second. We were back.The grand doors had been broken off their hinges. Rubble framed the entryway like the jagged teeth of a monster. The windows were shattered. Curtains were torn and thrown all over the floor. The place looked like it had been chewed up and spit back out by a raging storm.But it was the people I saw who really made my stomach turn.Dominic’s pack members stood in tight clusters around the wreckage, looking both lost and scared. It was almost like someone had turn

{Dominic}It should’ve rained.The sky should’ve opened up and poured every ounce of heaven’s wrath on Crownshaven, just to match the way my chest felt like it had caved in. But no. The skies were blue, mockingly clear. And a warm breeze swept across my blood-soaked shirt like the deities above were applauding my fall.I was dragged across the ground. Literally.Two of Varen’s warriors had me by the arms, hauling me across the marble like I was yesterday’s garbage. My feet scraped lifelessly behind me, boots leaving a trail of blood and broken pride all the way to the front gates of the villa.“Mind the step,” one of them muttered, and then ruthlessly shoved my already battered body down the stone stairs.I hit every single one.“Son of a—” My voice cracked as I rolled, bones screaming with every jolt. My vision sparked white at the edges. I bit back the groan climbing up my throat because I’d be damned if I gave them that satisfaction.Corvin was waiting at the bottom, looking every

{Lyra}It’s strange, really, how you can be alive, but not fully living. Breathing, but not in control of your own lungs. Watching the world through your own eyes, but behind a locked door, screaming into a darkness that no one else can hear.That’s exactly where I was… trapped inside myself in a room with no walls, no floors, no ceilings. Just an endless black space where I floated, watching as Alissa wore my body like a coat.She had promised she’d leave Crownshaven, but I guess she wasn’t going to leave until she had gotten her revenge fully out of her system, and that meant marching straight toward the Elder’s villa and ending up in a fight with the man I loved. Dominic Bloodhound.I watched it all like a movie playing in my head. How she threw spell after spell at him, how she mocked him with my own voice. I hated every single second of it, but there wasn’t anything I could do.As the fight raged on and things got even more serious, all I could do was stand there, deep inside my

{Dominic}I spat blood onto the cracked marble floor and swayed, barely catching myself against what was left of the villa’s mangled archway. My chest felt like it had caved in, and my ribs were screaming with every breath, but I stayed standing… barely. My wolf growled weakly inside me, licking his wounds. He was hurting, but alive. Which was more than I could say for my pride.Across the room, Corvin stoodwith his hands clasped behind his back and not a damn scratch on him. The smell of betrayal clung to him like his stupid, unwrinkled robe.And then there was Varen, leaning on a fractured pillar with all the lazy arrogance of a wolf who’d already won the war. “Go on,” I rasped, glaring at both of them. “How long have you been planning this little parade?”Corvin gave a low chuckle and shook his head, his silver hair gleaming in the firelight. “Long enough to know you were never meant to lead. You were always sentimental, Dominic. Soft in all the wrong places.”“Could’ve fooled me
The Alpha's Fated Desire CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT
{Dominic}I didn’t know whether it was the blood in my ears or the way the light kept strobing through the cracks in the ceiling, but the world felt like it was tilting.Smoke curled through the shattered rafters of the Elder’s Villa, and the taste of magic clung to my tongue, but somewhere beneath it, I caught the scent again.My claws were still dug into the marble on either side of her head, my body half-shifted and trembling, but not from exhaustion, oh no. From something so much deeper that my wolf couldn’t name it, but it was howling for it all the same.I stared down at Lyra and watched as her chest rose and fell beneath me. She looked like a goddess sculpted from fury and gold, magic simmering under her skin like a volcano beneath a silk sheet.She was my mate… the pieces snapped together almost immediately, it all made sense now. Every time I couldn’t bring myself to hurt her, every time I let her get under my skin. Even when she lied, even when she ran, I still wanted her.
