CHAPTER TEN

The dark was still thick outside the window when my eyes opened.

I lay still for a moment, listening. The mansion breathed around me — the low settle of old walls, the distant hum of something mechanical deep in the basement, the occasional creak of a floorboard somewhere above. I reached for my glasses. Then my hearing aid. The world sharpened and filled.

Four forty-three.

I got up.

If Sera wanted five, I would give her four fifty. I didn't know what I was trying to prove or who I

    CHAPTER TENThe dark was still thick outside the window when my eyes opened.I lay still for a moment, listening. The mansion breathed around me — the low settle of old walls, the distant hum of something mechanical deep in the basement, the occasional creak of a floorboard somewhere above. I reached for my glasses. Then my hearing aid. The world sharpened and filled.Four forty-three.I got up.If Sera wanted five, I would give her four fifty. I didn't know what I was trying to prove or who I was trying to prove it to. I dressed in the grey uniform, tied my hair back, and walked out into the corridor before the mansion had fully decided to wake up.The kitchen was empty when I arrived.I stood in the doorway for a moment, taking it in without the noise and bodies of yesterday crowding the space. Large. Organized in a way that made sense once you understood the logic of it. I moved to the far counter, found the cleaning cloths where they'd been yesterday, and started wiping down the

    Lyra's POV"You will be discharged today."Doctor Ifeanyi's words settled over me like the first cold breath of a season changing. I looked at him, searching his face for something more. An explanation. A direction. Anything that would tell me what discharged meant for a woman with no name, no past, and nowhere to go.He smiled gently, the way people smile when they've already decided not to answer the questions they can see forming in your eyes."You've healed well, Lyra," he said. "Better than any of us expected."Lyra."Where do I go?" I asked.He busied himself with the clipboard in his hands. "Arrangements have been made.""By who?"He paused whatever he was doing. "The Alpha," he said.He left before I could ask anything else.I sat on the edge of the bed for a long moment, my glasses on, my hearing aid in place, the world crisp and present around me in a way it hadn't been when I first woke up here. I looked at my hands. Turned them over. Looked at the lines on my palms like t

  • The Alpha's blind Luna:Desired by Rival Alphas    The face I can't find

    Lyra’s POVWhen my eyes opened, the world felt wrong.A pounding ache throbbed at the center of my skull, slow and heavy, like someone striking a drum from inside my head. My body felt weak, too weak, as if the mattress beneath me was swallowing every bit of strength I tried to gather. I blinked once. Twice. The ceiling wavered above me, shifting like water. My tongue tasted bitter, almost metallic.I turned on the bed, but even that small movement made my vision smear into cloudy shapes. Everything was blurred. Distorted. Uncertain. Colors bled into one another. Edges dissolved. I could not tell where one object ended and another began. A cold wave washed through me. I did not understand what was wrong, only that my eyes refused to obey me.Someone moved near the foot of the bed. I saw only a pale shape leaning closer.“Good. You are awake.” The voice was gentle, steady. “My name is Ifeanyi. I am the doctor here. You are safe. Try not to panic.”Safe.He was saying other things, his

    Diego’s POVThe door slammed behind me. I barely remembered moving. One second I was standing in the room, the next I was outside, cold air cutting through my clothes as I strode toward the car.“Klaus,” I barked, “start the damn engine.”He looked up from his phone, startled. “Diego, calm down—”I shot him a look. Just one.That was all it took. He swallowed whatever he was about to say and turned the key.The car roared to life, tires scraping against gravel as we sped down the road. Streetlights flashed past, pale streaks of yellow in the dark. I couldn’t keep still. My leg bounced against the floor, my heel hitting it again and again, each thud syncing with the pulse in my head.Klaus kept glancing my way. “She’s in good hands,” he said quietly. “You heard the doctor.”“Good hands?” I muttered. “She’s in a hospital bed with her memory torn apart. Don’t tell me about good hands.”He exhaled, fingers tightening around the wheel. “You’re not helping her by losing it.”“I’m not losing

    Diego’s POVThe cold night bit into my skin as I walked toward the car. The driver started the engine, headlights slicing through the fog. I just wanted to leave that damned pack and everything it reeked of, mostly Kendrick’s smug. I had barely opened the car door when his voice cut through the night.“Diego.”I froze. My jaw clenched so hard I thought my teeth might crack. I turned slowly, my eyes finding him where he stood on the marble steps. Kendrick looked too comfortable, too calm, as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn’t just tossed his Luna aside like trash.He walked toward me, glass in hand, that lazy smirk still fixed on his face.“This is a peace treaty between our packs,” he said smoothly. “If you won’t stand beside me, shake my hand, and give a little speech for the cameras, then all this…” he gestured around with a mocking smile “...is useless.”He wasn’t wrong. But I didn’t care.I took a step closer, voice low and deadly,“You can take your damn peace treaty and s

    Diego’s POVKlaus’s voice brushed through my mind before Kendrick could say another word.“She’s awake,” he said, his tone strained. “What do I do?”I swallowed hard, my heart slamming hard against my chest. My pulse quickened, my wolf alert again.“Bring her up,” I ordered. “Find a back door. No one should see her.”Klaus’s link faded, leaving silence behind.The tension between Kendrick and me hung heavy in the air. The night wind from the balcony carried the scent of wine. Kendrick leaned against the railing again, eyes sharp and bored, his patience running thin.“I’m done discussing this,” he said at last, voice lazy but laced with finality. “If you’re so interested in the girl, then have her. I’m least interested in a burden.”I felt the words hit like a slap.Before I could stop myself, my hand shot forward and I grabbed his wrist, dragging him backward. His wine glass shattered against the floor, the wine spilling like blood across marble.He turned sharply, his eyes locking o
