The heavy oak door of my study groaned as I opened it, just enough for Ryker to slip in. He looked more serious than usual. Which, considering he had the emotional range of a brick wall on a good day, didn’t bode well.

“Make yourself at home,” I muttered, already heading for my desk.

Ryker didn’t need to be told twice. He bypassed the leather armchairs and headed straight for the bar. I watched him from behind my desk as he poured two fingers of scotch into each glass with the gravity of someone who really, really needed a drink.

“Okay,” I said, folding my arms over the backrest before sitting. “What’s so urgent that you had to show up at my house so early? Last I checked, I stepped down as CEO of NovaCore so I wouldn't have to deal with situations like this.”

He turned, glass in each hand, and handed me one. “You’re gonna want this in your system before I answer that.”

I stared at him for a second, then accepted the glass and took a slow sip.

“Alright,” I said, setting it

  • The Alpha's Fated Desire   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-ONE

    {Dominic}I was barely upright, still tasting dirt and blood, when a thunderous sound split the air. My ears rang, and I instinctively turned toward the sound just in time to see the sealed garden door fly off its hinges and crash into a blackened tree with a deafening crack.A breeze kicked up, rustling what was left of the garden, but my attention was glued to her.Lyra stood where the door had once been, her palm still glowing faintly, the spell fading off her skin like smoke in sunlight. I stared at her, awestruck. My chest rose and fell with uneven breath as realization sunk its claws into me. She wasn’t just strong, she was frighteningly strong. The kind of strong that made you get why a centuries-dead witch would want to get her hands on that power.I swallowed hard, suddenly understanding why Alissa had been obsessed with Lyra from the start. With Lyra at her side, they wouldn’t just be unstoppable, they’d be untouchable.Lyra turned around like she'd just opened a regular d

    {Lyra}I held my breath as the shadow moved through the withered garden, its steps uneven, rustling what little was left of the dried hedges. My fingers tightened instinctively around the strap of my backpack as I shifted my weight forward, bracing myself while already pulling the ring’s magic into my veins. If it was a threat, I’d scorch it with everything I had.But the figure that emerged from the shadows wasn’t a spirit or a monster. It was Dominic.His clothes were ripped in places, coated with dry blood and dirt. One arm was dragging behind him like it barely worked, and his left eye was swollen shut. But it was him… my Alpha. And also the last person I expected to see crumbling out of the dark like a dead man.He looked at me, disbelief washing over his face. His lips parted as if he wanted to say something important, but all he managed was a hoarse whisper “…Lyra?”Then he collapsed.“Dominic!” I dropped the box and ran to him.He was burning up, and his breathing came in sha

    {Lyra}The moment I read Isaac’s message, my heart stuttered. All reason and logic flew straight out the window. I slammed the laptop shut so hard it bounced, then I scrambled to my feet, nearly tripping over the rug on my way to the bedroom. Ten minutes later, I had stuffed a backpack with the essentials and was getting into my car. Before I went rushing back to Crownshaven, there were some things I needed sorted out first, and one of those things required me making a stop.My car drove through the iron gates of Victor Graves' manor, and I took a deep breath to calm myself as I parked the car right at the front door. I never once thought that I would ever come back here, but I guess fate had other plans.The whole house looked exactly the same. Cold, grand, and gray. I marched up the steps and knocked, loud and hard.For a second, nothing happened, then the door suddenly creaked open, and there he was. Victor.His eyes widened like he’d seen a ghost. “Lyra…?” he whispered in a rough

    {Dominic}My eyes snapped open to a blurry sky, and immediately, the sharp tang of magic stung my nose. Everything hurt, and I felt like I’d been in a head-on collision with a freight train. I groaned and blinked rapidly, trying to focus.“Dominic. Dominic, hey—” I heard Dahlia’s voice, even though it sounded fuzzy.She crouched beside me, hands pressing against my chest to check if I was still breathing.“Great,” I rasped, still trying to figure out what was going on. “Get up!” Dahlia yelled.I rolled to my side and slowly started getting up when I saw another person in the garden. Isaac stood as stiff as a statue, his face was pale, and his eyes were wide in both fear and shock.But he wasn’t looking at me. I followed his line of sight and my eyes fell on Odessa.Only, she wasn’t on the ground anymore…. she was floating.Her body hung mid-air like a puppet suspended by threads of light, her hair waving as if underwater. And the energy pouring off her made it even hard to breathe.“

    {Lyra}I couldn’t stop thinking about her, floating in the middle of a ruin like she was caught between the mortal world and the supernatural world. Her eyes, her voice, it all felt so familiar.I wrapped my arms tightly around myself as I sat on my balcony that night, staring down at the quiet town square of Ravenshire. A few teens loitered outside the pizza place, someone’s dog constantly kept barking, and the bar sign across the street flickered happily, welcoming its next victims. But my mind was stuck in that burned-out shell of a house, staring into the glowing fragments where Odessa had vanished.I shouldn’t have even been thinking about it, but I couldn’t just let it go. I couldn’t ignore Odessa’s cry for help even if I wanted to.So the next morning, I brewed myself a cup of coffee, packed my hair into a simple bun, and stormed out the door with my laptop tucked under my arm. I needed to reach out, but I couldn’t do that with a traceable device. I was just starting to enjoy

    {Dominic}It had been two days. Forty-eight hours of Isaac locked in his room, trying to trace whoever cashed that cheque. Two days of staring at my phone every five minutes, waiting for a miracle. No leads. No calls. Just coffee that kept getting stronger and nerves that kept getting thinner.In the meantime, the chaos at NovaCore had morphed into a full-blown soap opera. That morning, I sat at the head of the dining room table with Brad, Ian, Alexis, and Dahlia.“So,” I said, resting my elbows on the table. “Someone catch me up. How badly are the rats squirming?”Brad, who looked like he hadn’t slept since the merger news dropped, cleared his throat and sat forward. “Mariela’s panicking. She’s been calling private meetings with Wilmer and Stark every time she so much as sneezes wrong. They’ve already started reaching out to the other board members, trying to rally backup, but it’s sloppy. They’re getting desperate.” “That’s exactly what I was hoping for.” I said, pleased.“They’re
