ETHAN'S POV

Clara's words hang in the air like a blade suspended mid-swing.

“Who are you?” Lyra stiffens beside her.

The room seems to fall silent all at once. Even the monitors beep slower, or maybe it's my pulse roaring so loudly in my ears it drowns everything else out.

I caught the doctor and the attending nurse, exchanging glances from the corner of my eye. They're scared, but trying not to look it.

Clara's eyes are wide– blank. Her brows furrowed like she's struggling with something deeper than physical pain.

It doesn't feel like deception. But I've been wrong before…

Lyra let's go of her hand slowly. Her face says it all– hurt, betrayal, confusion.

I swallow lightly, jaw locking. “Clara…do you know who you are?”

She blinks again. “Clara? Is that my name?”

Fuck. She was either gone, or playing the part with Oscar-worth precision.

I motion for the doctor to continue working and gently pull Lyra away, but she shrugs out of my grasp. Still, she doesn't make a scene.

  • The Alpha’s Untamed Beast is   Chapter 39

    LYRA'S POV The market day breeze is soft and sun-warmed, thick with the scent of grilled meats, wildflowers, and a mix of a bit of everything else. Ravenwoods market day is many things– crowded, noisy, and mildly disorganized– but boring? Never. Warm light spills through the canopy of towering pines, and the air hums with life– pups shrieking with laughter, warriors sparring in the training field, and market stalls bursting with fresh bread, trinkets, and color. About a week had gone by of me being cooped up in my room. So when today's opportunity presented itself, I snatched it eagerly. I'm not wearing anything special. Just a breezy sundress I'd come across in my closet weeks ago. My hair is left out to dry naturally– wavy and wild, and my face is void of any makeup. I just needed to breathe. Breath without thinking of Ethan– without the image of him and Aurora tormenting my mind. “This. It's absolutely gorgeous.” Clara murmurs beside me and I turn to her with a grin. “I tol

  • The Alpha’s Untamed Beast is   Chapter 38

    ETHAN'S POV. Our eyes meet across the room. Lyra's wide with shock. Betrayal. Hurt. And then she's gone. Damn it! I don't remember moving. One second I'm watching Lyra walk away– the next I'm shoving Aurora back, hard enough that she stumbles into my desk. “What the fuck do you think you're doing?” I growl, my hand locking around her throat. “I– I'm sorry. I thought–” she wheezes, my hold tightening with every passing second. “Never again.” I snarl at her, my eyes blazing with rage. “Try something like this next time.” I pause, leaning in closer so she can see how much of a storm is burning through my wolf. "And I'll rip your fucking throat out. I let her go violently, walking away without sparing her a second glance, before I could make good on that threat. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! My hands itched with the need snap Aurora's fucking head off as I storm down the hallways, rage like venom in my veins. What the hell had she been thinking? That throwing herself at me so abruptly wo

  • The Alpha’s Untamed Beast is   Chapter 37

    LYRA'S POVShe turns startled, eyes wide, guilt smeared across her face like she'd been caught red-handed.“What are you doing?”Clara blinks at me, her hands still clutching one of the drawers half-open. Her eyes are wide, innocent– too innocent.“Oh, Luna.” She says with a startled laugh that didn't quite reach her eyes. “You're back! I– I didn't hear you come in.”“Clearly.” I murmur flatly, folding my arms.She steps back from the nightstand like it had bitten her, smoothing her dress down with shaking hands. “I was just… I came to say hi. I heard you were back, and I wanted to see for myself. I didn't mean to snoop or anything– I was just looking for a brush or something to fix my hair before you came in.”A brush. In my drawer.I raise my brow, not bothering to hide my disbelief. “You came to say hi. But instead of, I don't know, sitting on the couch or knocking on the door as anyone would have, you started going through my stuff?”“I swear, it's not what it looks like.” Clara s

  • The Alpha’s Untamed Beast is   Chapter 36

    LYRA'S POVEthan's grip on my hand is firm, but gentle, like he knew I might spook and vanish into thin air if given the chance.He leads me past the training fields and down one of the lesser-used paths by the gardens, our steps crunching softly over the gravel as the sun filters through the trees above us.“I don't bite, you know.” He says over his shoulder, flashing me an annoyingly charming half-smile that surprises me.“I mean, you kind of do.” I mutter, just loud enough.He chuckles. “Only when provoked.”Goddess. I needed to focus. Not get lost in his voice. Or his arms. Or his jawline… definitely not the jawline.Focus woman…We finally stop before a small stone cottage tucked behind the pack greenhouse. Vines curled up the sides of the walls, and wildflowers had claimed whatever space the stones didn't.“I used to sneak off here when I was younger.” Ethan says, pushing open the creaky door and waving me in. “Before I was Alpha. Before… everything.”I step inside, blinking aga

  • The Alpha’s Untamed Beast is   Chapter 35

    LYRA'S POVI can't even scream. Talk. Or come up with a befitting reaction to the mess left in my room.What was I to make of this?Someone had invaded my personal space. Again.Just like back at Ravenwood when they had stolen the note. Broke into my room and left the mystery chest.And now someone else was at silvermoon, sneaking into my space and making me uncomfortable.With a heavy heart and trembling hands, I quietly clean up the place.I couldn't even tell Dad. What difference would it make if I did? Who knew for a sure he didn't already know about it– the possibility of this sabotage being a part of his plans to stop my haunt was high.And the greater heights they were willing to go to keep me away, made me ravel with even more curiosity.I was going to find out– I'd get answers to everything. Didn't matter who stood in my way…~~~~~Hours later, I'm all packed up and headed off, leaving Mae– the younger maid and Amanda's friend, to inform dad.I'm back on my way with the Raven

  • The Alpha’s Untamed Beast is   Chapter 34

    LYRA'S POV“What do you mean?” His voice is low– too low.“I've been receiving some things… messages – cryptic notes. Nothing direct, but bits and pieces here linking back to mum.” He clears his throat at this, pulling his hand out of my hold.My frown deepens as I rise to my feet, crossing my arms over my chest in defiance.“There's nothing more to your mother's passing. She died a noble death– trying to protect silvermoon.” He pauses with a deep sigh, running a hand across his face.“Whoever is doing all that is trying to play games with your mind– very cruel ones.” He finishes, and I let out a scoff in disbelief.It was so clear that he was lying to me. The way his voice was unusually low– the smile that he was forcing across his face that didn't meet his eyes– the way his hand laid by his side on the bed kept fidgeting.“Why are you refusing to tell me what you know Dad? First– Amanda ran away. Now– you're lying right to my face.” My voice shakes, tears clogging up in my throat.
