“You've seen this before haven't you?”

Ethan doesn't speak for a long time.

He only stares at the page now crumpled in his grip, fingers twitching slightly as though something on it burned.

I stay rooted to the floor, my heart pacing faster with each tick of silence.

Lucian hadn't moved since I asked the question.

“You've both seen it.” I say again, quieter now.

Ethan's eyes flicked up. Cold steel. No glimmer of anger, no trace of emotion. Just the kind of stillness that screamed louder than shouting ever could.

How had I gotten myself tangled up in their mess this bad?

“Follow me.” And then he turns on his heel, walking out of the room.

Lucian clears his throat. “Lyra–”

“Thanks for helping me out.” I cut him off.

I didn't want to lose my becoming friendship with him….but I didn't know how to react as well.

Did he even see me as a friend or was he that good at camouflaging?

Skillful at lying enough to be faking a personality?

I wasn't sure I wanted to know." We'll talk later." I mutte

  • The Alpha’s Untamed Beast is   Chapter 56

    CLARA'S POVThe silence in Alpha Ethan's study is so loud I can hear my heartbeat. It's not just nerves. It's that deep, instinctive dread that curls in your stomach when your reality begins to split at the seams."I don't know what's happening to me." I whisper. "But it didn't just start with the mirror."Alpha Ethan doesn't move. He watches me the way someone might study an unfamiliar creature. Calm. Still. But will caution sharp in his eyes."I keep seeing things." I continue, wringing my hands. "Symbols, figures. Whispering voices that sound like mine...but isn't."That gets a flicker from him– an almost imperceptible tension in his shoulders."I've been waking up seeing scratches on my arms. Bruises I can't explain. I...I think I've been sleepwalking."His voice is low. "Or being led."I lool up sharply...this was harder than I thought."What?"Alpha Ethan stands, slow and heavy like his body is weighing every thought. He crosses his arms and begins to pace around the room. "You

  • The Alpha’s Untamed Beast is   Chapter 55

    LYRA'S POVThe morning light slips through the open curtains. A golden haze stretching across the room and slipping lazily over Ethan's bed.I blink awake slowly, breathing in the soft scent of his cologne tangled in pine and warmth. The kind of scent that makes your chest ache in the best way.The sheets are a mess, one of his arms thrown around my waist, holding me hostage in the best possible way.He's on his back, hair damp from the shower last night, his face is relaxed in sleep, jaw less tense, lashes long and dark against his cheek. This version of him is unburdened, peaceful– rare. And so, so beautiful.There's something so boyish about watching Ethan sleep. Like the alpha armor falls off and I get off the man beneath.I smile and shift just enough to reach up and brush a lock of hair away from his forehead. He stirs slightly, tightening his hold on me like some part of him knows I'm trying to move. I give up quickly because honestly? There's nowhere else I'd rather be.I stay

    ETHAN'S POV*MEETING ROOM– LATER THAT NIGHT*“You're telling me this kind of magic doesn't exist in our archives?” I snap at Caleb– the wolf assigned to keep account of every important document.He flinches but holds his ground. “Not in ours. But…maybe in the older texts. Ones that predate the last purge.”Great. Just great! We were going to dig through magic that had been deliberately erased from the records.“Find them.” I say. “I don't care if they're buried under six feet of silver ash, or sealed in blood. I want answers.”“There's one more thing.” He says nervously. “One of the bodies from this morning– wasn't completely dead when we found it.”I freeze.“What?”“He was breathing. Barely. Just long enough to say one thing.”Caleb swallows. “He said. It's awakening.”It feels like a stone got dropped in my stomach and I sigh as I lean against my hands rested on the table.“I've seen symbols like this before. Old witchcraft. Forbidden rites. Blood rituals that require… Offerings.”

  • The Alpha’s Untamed Beast is   Chapter 53

    ETHAN'S POVThe air shifts.That subtle but unmistakable drop in energy– like the calm before a storm, sort of.I immediately straighten, arms tightening around Lyra protectively as I take in the guards' expression.He's pale. Too pale. His eyes wide, glassy with something between fear and disbelief, and I feel all my instincts immediately snap to high alert.“What happened?” I demand, feeling Lyra tense up even more beside me.He swallows, chest heaving. “It's the northern clearing. The warded section you ordered patrols around. We found something…sir, I don't know how to explain it–”My pulse ticks up a notch. “Show me.” I cut him off, not wanting to wait for any more explanation.Lyra grabs my hand before I can leave. “I'm coming with you.”I open my mouth to argue– but I see the gleam in her eyes. That deep-rooted resolve that'd always, always win.I nod once, press a kiss to her temple as we both follow the guard out of the training center and into the open courtyard.We walk for

  • The Alpha’s Untamed Beast is   Chapter 52

    CLARA'S POVI wake up gasping and drenched in sweat.I shoot upright, my hands fisting the sheets. My breath fogs the air.The room is pitch black– eerily lacking of light.What happened to my night lamp I usually left on?I reach over and flip the switch but nothing happens and I feel an unpleasant rumble run through my stomach.My eyes can't help but flick to the mirror across the room– the one Lyra had helped me cover with a sheet before she left. But I still her watching me. That woman. The red-eyed thing that smiled like it knew me.Knew my pain– knew my past.I know what Lyra thinks. That I was hallucinating. Or overwhelmed. Maybe an effect of whatever damage I'd done through when I went missing.But I knew I hadn't been imagining things.The woman had spoken– she had been here– felt too real to be a figment of my imagination.Maybe it wasn't real– but it felt real.And worse than that?She looked like me. Just older. Sharper. Crueler.A flicker at the mirror catches my attentio

  • The Alpha’s Untamed Beast is   Chapter 51

    LYRA'S POVThe first thing I notice when I come to is warmth. Not the kind that comes from sunlight, but the kind that wraps around you like a living shield.I stir in bed, feeling around for my pillow, and sigh contently as I snuggle back into it.For some reason, my pillow feels humanly warm… Like it was breathing– and then I realize– I'm not in my room.Shit! My eyes fly open as I go stiff, memories of last night crashing through my mind.Clara. The scream. The mirror. Her shaking hands.Then Ethan. His room. His warmth. His ridiculously unfair chest.Ethan had wanted to leave his bed to me last night, but I had vehemently stood against it.It was freezing cold! And the bed was more than big enough for the both of us, so why would I agree to him sleeping on the couch, or worse floor when we could just share?And so after a few good rounds of him trying to refuse and continuously failing to my never-ending insistence, he gave in.But now, it seems the wall of pillows I'd been the on
