Lyra couldn't breathe.

The words echoed through her mind like thunder.

The Moon Queen's heir is alive.

The stranger's silver eyes remained fixed on her, as though he feared she might disappear if he blinked.

The forest stood unnaturally silent.

Even the wind seemed afraid to move.

Lyra took a shaky step backward.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

The man didn't answer immediately.

Instead, he studied her face.

Every detail.

Every expression.

Every breath.

As though searching for somethi

    The laughter faded.Silence settled over the cliff once more.Lyra stared at the man standing before her, searching his face for any sign that this was some elaborate joke.She found none.The warriors remained on one knee, their heads bowed in unwavering respect.Only kings inspired that kind of loyalty.Only rulers carried themselves with such effortless authority.Her throat felt dry."So..."She swallowed."You're really the Lycan King."Cassian inclined his head."I am."She laughed.A short, breathless laugh that sounded more like disbelief than amusement."I spent three days arguing with the most feared man in history.""You did.""And I accused you of being a terrible liar.""You weren't entirely wrong."One corner of his mouth lifted.Several of the warriors exchanged bewildered glances.None of them had ever seen their king smile this much.Their surprise didn't escape Lyra.She folded her arms."They're looking at you like you've grown another head."Cassian sighed."They'r

    The fire had burned low by the time Lyra finally fell asleep.Exhaustion claimed her faster than she expected.For three nights, she had barely rested. Every snapped twig had sounded like danger. Every shadow had looked like an enemy.Tonight was different.For reasons she couldn't explain, the presence of the stranger called Cassian calmed something inside her.Which made no sense.She knew nothing about him.He was secretive.Dangerous.Powerful.And yet...Her wolf remained strangely quiet whenever he was near.Almost as if she trusted him.The thought was ridiculous.Still, sleep came easier than it had in days.Across the fire, Cassian sat awake.Watching.Waiting.Protecting.The moment Lyra's breathing steadied, the warmth left his expression.The mask returned.Cold.Controlled.Kingly.He stared into the flames.A thousand memories clawed their way to the surface.The last Moon Queen.The war.The blood.The betrayal.The night everything had been lost.For six hundred years,

    The forest had never felt so large.Lyra Ashbourne had spent her entire life surrounded by walls.The walls of the Silver Shadow Pack.The walls of the servant quarters.The invisible walls that separated the powerful from the forgotten.But nothing had prepared her for the endless wilderness beyond the pack borders.Here, there were no familiar paths.No warm fires waiting at the end of the day.No one calling her name.No one telling her where she belonged.Only trees.Silence.And the constant reminder that she had nowhere to go.Lyra sat beside the small fire she had managed to create, pulling her thin cloak tighter around her shoulders.The flames were weak.Just like her.Three days ago, she had been standing beneath the Moonstone believing her entire life was about to change.Three days ago, she had believed the Moon Goddess had finally chosen her.She remembered the moment clearly.The warmth.The bond.The way her wolf had whispered inside her for the first time.Mate.The me

  • The Alpha's Greatest Mistake   Chapter 6: The King Awakens

    Three days after Lyra's rejection.Three days after her blood touched the Moonstone.Three days after destiny changed.Far beyond the territories of the werewolf packs, beyond the mountains and frozen rivers that marked the edge of known lands, stood the Black Citadel.A fortress carved from obsidian stone.A kingdom feared by every Alpha alive.The Kingdom of the Lycans.Lightning flashed across the night sky.Thunder rolled over the towering walls.Within the highest tower of the citadel, silence ruled.The room was vast.Dark.Ancient.Moonlight poured through towering windows and illuminated a solitary throne carved from black crystal.A man sat upon it.Motionless.Eyes closed.Waiting.For centuries, kings had risen and fallen.Entire bloodlines had vanished.Empires had turned to dust.Yet he remained.Cassian Draven.The first Lycan.The immortal king.The most feared being in existence.His dark hair brushed his shoulders.A silver crown rested upon his head.Scars crossed hi

  • The Alpha's Greatest Mistake   Chapter 5: The Reckoning at the Gate

    The sky above the Lycan border had turned the color of bruised iron. A torrential rain began to fall, freezing the moment it hit the dark, jagged stone of the Citadel's outer gates.I stood on the high stone parapet, hidden from view by the deep shadows of the battlements. Down below, the iron gates groaned as a massive force gathered outside.Dozens of Bloodstone vehicles and armed riders formed a dense, hostile semicircle in the snow. At the very front, astride a massive black warhorse, stood Kael.He was no longer the pristine, smiling Alpha from the ballroom. His formal uniform was soaked through, mud splattered across his chest, and his sea-storm eyes were bloodshot and wild. He looked like a man possessed, his knuckles white as he gripped the reins.The heavy iron gates of the Citadel slowly ground open.Lucien walked out alone. He didn't bring an army. He didn't even draw a weapon. He simply stepped into the freezing rain, his long black coat trailing in the slush, his hands tu
