I stared at the blanket, Ethan’s arm loosely draped over my waist. My muscles ached, but for the first time in days… my heart felt at peace.

“Rise and shine, lovebirds,” Chase’s voice rang out across the room—teasing, and far too smug.

“Good morning to you too, sunshine,” I grumbled, rubbing my eyes.

Then it hit me—I hadn’t told Chase about Ethan and me.

I turned and glared at Ethan. “This is your fault.”

Ethan chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck.

Chase crossed his arms, a grin pulling at the corner of his mouth. “Hey, no need to glare. Ember and I saw you two outside. And you weren’t exactly quiet.”

My eyes widened. Ethan let out a low laugh as my face flushed.

“You both watched us?” I asked, mortified.

“No,” Chase said quickly, snorting. “But we heard enough.”

Ember smirked, though her fingers tapped restlessly against her thigh— she was holding back. “Oh, don’t stop on my account,” she drawled, but her eyes flicked to Chase, waiting for the storm to break.

I threw one of Ember’s

    LyraI turned around, and a dark shadow materialized before me. My spirit reincarnation, Rowena, stood tall, her presence radiating an otherworldly aura. "Why are you guys here?" I asked, my voice laced with annoyance.Rowena's expression was unreadable, but a hint of amusement danced in her eyes. "Is that how you greet your old friends?" she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.I snorted, rolling my eyes. "Old friends? Go straight to the point, Rowena. Your silly stunts just to pull me using ghost mode are getting old." I folded my arms, my patience wearing thin. "Wait, or are you here to mock me, saying 'I told you so'? If you're here to taunt me about how Ethan rejected me, there's no need. I've been cursing myself every day for six years."Rowena's expression softened slightly, and she took a step closer to me. "I'm not here to mock you, Lyra. Because if I do, I would be mocking myself too. I was foolish too, but mine was love, and yours was the mate bond."I raised an eyebrow,

    Lyra"You shouldn't fight now, you might expose us, Lyra. I think you should use your Alpha Aura," Amira warned.The three guys had already shifted, their brown wolves snarling and baring their teeth. I stood still, not moving an inch, as I let out my Alpha's aura.The effect was immediate. The three wolves halted in their tracks, their ears folding back as they bowed slightly. They tried to move, but it was as if an invisible force was holding them in place. I could see the struggle in their eyes, the desperation to break free from my aura's grip.I let out a slow breath, feeling the power coursing through me. The three men transformed back into their human forms, shaking slightly as they tried to stand upright. I did the same, my eyes never leaving theirs."Who are you?" the leader asked through gritted teeth, his voice strained with effort.My identity was not important. What was important was why they had come to attack me. "You will answer my questions," I said, "and not the othe

    LyraI knew I kept rambling and rambling, but I couldn't just stop. I needed to tell Mother, to share the weight of my secrets with her. The words poured out of me like, and with each sentence, the pain seemed to intensify. I felt like I was reliving every moment, every heartbreak, every betrayal.As I spoke, my breath came in ragged gasps, and my heart pounded in my chest. I needed to leave, to flee from the suffocating emotions that threatened to consume me. I needed to feel the cool breeze of the outside world on my skin, to scream and shout until the pain receded.I mindlinked Ember. "Ember, please call Uncle Gerald. Check on Mother's vitals, make sure she's okay." My voice was barely above a whisper, but Ember's response was immediate. "On it, Lyra."I looked at Mother, her face etched with concern. For a moment, our eyes locked, and I felt a pang of guilt for unloading my emotions on her. But I knew I had to do it. She needed to know why I was the way I was.Without another word

    Lyra"So what happened next?" Mother asked softly, her eyes filled with a deep concern, her voice barely above a whisper.I took a deep breath, my heart racing as I recalled the events that had unfolded. "Well, he was transparent with me at first because I didn't let the mate bond push me to him," I began, my voice steady, but with a hint of vulnerability. "But still, Ethan didn't give up."My mother's eyes narrowed slightly, her brow furrowed in interest. "His name is Ethan?" she asked, her voice laced with a mixture of curiosity.I nodded, my throat constricting as I spoke his name. "Yes, Mother," I said calmly, though my breath was shaky. I took a moment to recollect myself, letting my emotions settle before continuing.As I spoke, the memories came flooding back, and I could feel the pain and frustration all over again. "After then, I found out that he was a beast, and that my blood could calm him down, temporarily, I think," I said, my voice filled with a mix of emotions. "Everyt

    Lyra"Mother," I said in a short whisper, my eyes fixed on hers, searching for any sign of understanding. "Do you remember Martina?"She looked at me with a confused expression, her brow furrowed in thought. "Martina? Oh, yes... the woman who visited and helped us a long time ago. How is she doing? I couldn't say my goodbyes to her when she traveled, oh, I miss my friend so much.""If we weren't captured, I am sure... were you able to locate her?"I gritted my teeth, feeling a surge of frustration and anger. How could she be so blind? How could she not see the truth?I stood, backing away from her, trying to create some distance between us. "She's not your friend, Mother," I said, my voice low and urgent. "She's the enemy."My mother's expression changed, her eyes narrowing slightly. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of defensiveness."She betrayed you, Mother," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "She was the reason Gunnar and his son found us. She led th

    LyraI sat close to my mother while looking deeply into her eyes. "Mother, what I'm about to tell you might sound hurtful, you will blame yourself or even have self-doubt. I want you to promise me that you wouldn't blame yourself for whatever you're going to hear."My mother Elisa looked at me with a worried, confused look. "You're scaring me, Lyra. What's happening? Is it because I asked to see your mate?""Please, Mother! Just listen," I said, my voice firm but gentle. She nodded before speaking. "I promise."I took a deep breath and exhaled before speaking, my eyes locked on hers. "After I was taken away from you, I was locked away in a hybrid agency for six years, Mother. I was imprisoned, punished, beaten, tortured brutally. My blood was to be used for God knows what. Every day I was reminded how I shouldn't have existed because you were human, Mother, and Richard wasn't."Elisa's eyes widened in horror, her face pale, but she didn't interrupt, her gaze fixed on mine."He tried t
