Lyra’s POV

Elara stopped a few steps away from me, and the silence between us stretched long enough to make my stomach twist. I searched her face for any trace of the warmth I was used to, but found none.

“Elara?” My voice came out smaller than I intended. “What’s wrong?”

She glanced past me, toward the crowd still murmuring near the base of the mountain, then lowered her voice. “You need to come with me. Now.”

“Why?” I asked.

“Not here.” Her eyes flicked toward the King, still standing near Lu

  • The Alpha’s forgotten daughter    The truth that couldn’t wait

    Prince Luca’s POVI sat alone in my chambers, staring at the darkness beyond the tall windows.The palace had become strangely quiet after everything that had happened on the mountain. Yet inside my head, there was no silence at all.Too many thoughts were fighting for my attention.Lyra.Her face appeared in my mind again.The way she had stood there, surrounded by everyone, yet somehow looking completely alone. The way she had faced everything thrown at her without running. The way my heart reacted whenever my eyes found her.I clenched my jaw and I needed answers.Not tomorrow or after another council.Or perhaps after another excuse.The answer should prevail once and for all.“Luca.” My wolf Varney’s voice suddenly echoed inside my mind.I closed my eyes for a moment.“What?” I answered it.“You need to call a meeting.” Varney verek said, sounding so restless. My eyes opened again. “A meeting?”“With your family. With the people who know what is happening. Everyone who has been

Now.”“Why?” I asked.“Not here.” Her eyes flicked toward the King, still standing near Luca, the two of them locked in a silence heavier than any argument. “Please, Lyra.”I hesitated, then followed her away from the gathering, toward a quiet stretch of path shielded by the tree line. Only once we were alone did she turn to face me fully.“My father has called an emergency council,” she said. “Tonight.”“About what?” I asked again.“About you.” She finally replied.My chest tightened. “Me?”She nodded, and for the first time I saw something close to fear behind her composure. “What

  • The Alpha’s forgotten daughter    The test of the heart

    Lyra’s POV“I’m disappointed in you, Dad.”Luca’s voice cut through the silence that had settled over the mountain. I looked at him, startled. He stood several steps from the King, fists clenched tight at his sides, anger blazing in his eyes in a way I hadn’t seen from the calmer prince who’d spoken to me earlier. This was the Luca everyone feared.“How could you do that?” he demanded. “What has Lyra ever done to you?”The King said nothing, his face unreadable. Luca stepped closer. “You knew what could happen to her. You knew that creature might kill her, and still you let the examination go on.”My chest tightened. I had never heard anyone address the King that way, least of all his own son.Before Luca could say more, the instructor stepped in. “Permit me, Your Royal Highness.”Luca turned toward him, irritated. “What?”“The second part of the examination must begin now.”My heart skipped. A second part? I’d barely recovered from the first, and already another test loomed ahead. I

  • The Alpha’s forgotten daughter    The truth behind the mountain

    Lyra’s POVLuca finally broke the kiss. I was still trying to catch my breath when I noticed movement around us the guards who had turned their backs earlier as a sign of respect while he kissed me were slowly facing forward again, heads bowing one by one as the people who had fled the place to save their lives began trickling back.Then I saw him. The King. Luca’s father, walking toward us flanked by several guards, and the entire gathering fell silent at once. The shift in atmosphere pressed against my skin, whispers rippling through the crowd until even those faded into nothing. The silence that followed felt so heavy I imagined a dropped needle would have echoed across the whole mountainside.I stood beside Luca, unsure what to do, when an elderly man stepped forward, his face carved with grief, tears streaking down cheeks reddened with weeping as he stared toward the mountain. He was the Babaláwo, the royal diviner and spiritual seer who interpreted the supernatural and the kingd

  • The Alpha’s forgotten daughter    The fox beneath my skin

    Lyra’s POVI stayed on the mountain a few moments after the creature vanished, staring at the empty space where it had stood only seconds before. Black smoke still curled into the cold air, and the silence that followed felt almost frightening. My heart pounded loud enough to hear in my own ears.I looked down at myself, still trembling from everything that had happened.Nyra? I called silently.I’m here. She replied me.Relief flooded through me. “Thank goodness.” I closed my eyes. “What do I do now?”Listen carefully, Nyra instructed. We need to fix your body before you go down.“What do you mean?” I asked Nyra. You transformed for the first time. Your bones shifted, your muscles changed, and now you need to return properly. Follow my instructions. She replied. I nodded, even though she couldn’t see it. “Slowly.”I took a deep breath. First, relax your shoulders. I did as she said. Now breathe in. I inhaled. Breathe out. I exhaled, and a strange sensation rippled through me… my fi

  • The Alpha’s forgotten daughter    No one calls her wolfless

    Prince Luca’s POVMy father’s words had been circling in my head from the moment he left my chambers. It is a do-or-die affair. I knew exactly what that meant. At Silver Moon Academy, the promotional examination was no ordinary test where students sat behind desks answering questions. It was a trial of strength every student faced a creature, and only those who survived and proved themselves would rise to the next class. For students whose wolves had never awakened, the danger doubled. Their lives hung in the balance until their wolves were forced to emerge.I hated the entire system. But I knew my father. If I challenged him openly before the examination began, he would only make things worse for Lyra. Everyone already knew she was wolfless. That alone made her a target. So I said nothing.But I made one decision. If things turned dangerous, if Lyra’s life was truly threatened, I would climb that mountain myself and take her away rules, examination, consequences be damned.When I a
