{Lyra}

No matter how badly I wanted to, I couldn’t look away. My eyes were glued to the huge frame of the creature that literally took up the entire doorway.

The lights in the asylum had come back on, but they flickered nervously, only adding to the eerie feel. Thanks to the light, I could see the charred body of the creature with two glowing red eyes that pierced through the darkness, and locked on Odessa.

The creature took one slow, deliberate step forward, its long, jagged claws curling against the floor with a scraping sound that made my skin crawl.

The second it moved, the stench hit me almost immediately. It smelled like burnt skin and rot, and my stomach twisted while Odessa whimpered behind me.

I didn’t know what the creature was, but every cell in my body screamed that it wasn’t something I would like to get better acquainted with.

Its eyes were locked directly on Odessa, and I knew I couldn't let it get to her.

“Grab on!” I shouted, already bending forward. Just moving se

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SEVEN

    {Lyra}Morning sunlight spilled across the curtains in soft ribbons, warming the sheets tangled around me. For a moment, I didn’t move, just lay there, cocooned in the kind of peace I had once thought impossible. I heard Isaac’s laughter floating faintly through the corridors. Bright, bubbling, so carefree it tugged a smile out of me before my eyes had even opened fully.The promise I made to my mother, swearing to protect him. I had kept it.I stretched languidly, blinking toward the tall windows where the light poured in, gilding everything it touched. And there he was.Dominic stood near the window, shirt half-buttoned, cufflinks glinting as he fastened them. The sunlight painted his profile in gold, catching on the hard edge of his jaw and the sweep of his shoulders. Regal. Powerful. But there was something softer too, something human the world never saw—the way his brow furrowed slightly as he fought with the stubborn cufflink, the faint sigh that escaped him when he won the bat

    {Lyra}The city blurred past in streaks of gold, but all I could see was the hard line of Dominic’s jaw reflected in the window.He looked untouchable, every inch the Alpha who had just walked into a boardroom and taken back his throne without flinching. I turned my hand where it still rested in his, our fingers entwined. His skin was warm, but his grip was absent-minded, like he was holding on out of instinct, not intention. My thumb brushed over his knuckle until his gaze finally shifted toward me.The limo slowed as we turned through the wrought-iron gates of the Bloodhound estate. The familiar sprawl of stone walls and towering glass rose to greet us. Staff lined the entrance, bowing their heads as Dominic stepped out first. I followed, their eyes flickering to me with something new—curiosity, whispers pressed into hushed breaths at the corners of the hall.They looked at me differently now. Not as some nameless girl trailing in his shadow. Not even as an interloper. Something els

    {Dominic}The frosted glass doors whispered shut behind me, sealing the boardroom into silence so sharp I could hear the faint tick of the gilded clock on the wall. Twelve seats, eight familiar faces, and a fracture that spread down the length of the table like a scar.I saw it instantly—who still remembered where their loyalty belonged and who had bartered theirs away like scraps on a street corner.Brad, Ian, and Alexis straightened at once, relief blooming across their features like they had been waiting for this very moment. On the other side sat Stark, Wilmer, Voss, and Lenny—whose presence among them made my jaw tick. They’d finally bought him, then. At the head of the table lounged Mariela, draped in a burgundy suit sharp enough to cut glass, her hand curled lazily over the armrest of what was meant to be my chair.Her gaze collided with mine. Surprise first, then calculation.“Dominic,” she purred, masking her tension with silk. “What a… surprise. We weren’t expecting—”“Get o

    {Dominic}The morning sun caught on every inch of NovaCore’s glass-and-steel towers, gilding them until they looked like they had been carved from the heavens themselves. It should have looked beautiful to me, but instead it looked like a challenge, a fortress I’d once conquered and now had to reclaim.The limo slowed at the barricades. Beyond the tinted windows, a sea of bodies surged—reporters pressing against the cordon, cameras flashing like relentless lightning. Security wrestled to keep the lines intact, but still the voices only grew with each passing second, overlapping in a chaotic chorus.My reflection in the glass stared back at me, I was dressed in a sharp black suit, tie knotted by Lyra. For a second, I simply breathed, pulling the air deep into my chest, steadying the rhythm of my heart. I had faced rogues who wanted to tear me limb from limb, blood feuds older than the walls of Crownshaven, even death itself. But this battlefield was different; it had clean floors and p

    {Lyra}The first thing I felt was warmth. Not the kind born of fire or fever, but the gentler warmth of morning sunlight spilling across sheets, wrapping everything it touched in soft gold. For a moment, I let it pool over me, allowing the silence of Crownshaven to sink into my bones. It had been so long since I woke without dread pressing at my ribs, without fear scraping at my throat.My eyes fluttered open. Curtains billowed faintly with a draft from the balcony doors, carrying the faint hum of the city alive beyond the gates. Somewhere below, laughter rang out—Isaac’s laughter, sharp and bright, echoing through the marble halls as though the boy had made them his playground. The sound curved a smile onto my lips before I even realized it.Dominic was still beside me.I rolled slightly, propping my head on one arm. He lay on his back, dark hair mussed across his brow, the lines of his face softened in sleep. For once, he wasn’t the Alpha or the CEO or the man carrying a curse on hi

    {Dominic}We stood in the courtyard the next morning, watching as Myra single-handedly orchestrated our departure with an efficiency that could’ve put a general to shame—carriages of supplies rolling in, servants darting back and forth with cloaks and travel cases.If she weren't the daughter of the great Alpha of the Nort,h I would've honestly considered hiring her as my assistant. Grimhold leaned heavily on his cane, but the gleam in his golden eyes hadn’t dimmed since the feast. Myra hovered near his shoulder, her mouth pressed thin, though I caught the way her hands gripped his arm tighter than necessary.I bowed my head to him once. “You should be in bed, not standing in the cold.”He bared his teeth in a grin. “And miss bidding you farewell? I’d sooner let frost rot my bones.”Lyra stood beside me, Isaac’s small hand tucked in hers, Odessa draped in a heavy cloak that nearly swallowed her whole. Kael lingered a pace back, shadow-silent but watchful.“Thank you,” I said, and my
