MasukFive years after the sting of betrayal, Lyra Vale receives a summons bearing the Alpha’s seal, a small, cryptic envelope that threatens to unravel everything she’s rebuilt. She assumes it's a formality, a long-overdue apology from the pack that cast her out. But fate isn't that kind. The new Alpha is none other than Kael Thorne, her former mate, the man who vanished after claiming her heart and body, only to betray her the very next morning. Now ruthless, powerful, and terrifyingly magnetic, Kael is determined to reel her back into his world... and never let her go again. Lyra despises him. Kael insists he hates her too. But that doesn’t stop him from using everything—threats, control, and proximity—to keep her close. The secret she hides? His child. Enter Dorian Vex, a cocky billionaire human with a dangerous amount of influence, and a growing obsession with Lyra. When Lyra lies, claiming Dorian is the father of her child to shield the truth from Kael, things spiral fast. This isn’t just a second chance. It’s a game of power, pride, and passion. And someone’s going to break.

He was staring at me, and I could see it all—anger, hunger, and something much darker blazing in his eyes.He had called me a slut. Said I was “begging to be fucked.” I could’ve laughed at the sheer absurdity of it, but it didn’t dull the sting in my chest. No, that still lingered.I had been having an actual conversation with the poor man before Kael stormed in and gave the guy more than he bargained for. Was Kael angry?I didn’t wait to ask. I moved to the dance floor. Unless he was ready to beat up every single man in the club, he couldn’t stop me.When I decided to go out tonight, my mind had immediately gone to this place—once called The Royale Club. It had changed, but the thrill still lingered in its neon-lit bones.As if the DJ had read my mind, Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus blared through the speakers, and I locked eyes with anot
Kael’s POV"You couldn’t sleep last night either? Pills not working then?" Ricco asked beside me.I massaged my aching temple with two fingers and fixed my attention on the documents in front of me."Should I get the doctor to find you something stronger than what he prescribed?""Of course not. No one can know about this," I said coldly. "Don’t you think if the doctor finds out none of the drugs he’s given me have worked, he’ll run his mouth? To his wife, a colleague... anyone. I’ll just double the dosage. If this gets out, Ricco, I’ll have your head."I pulled my focus from the weakness clawing at me and looked down at the papers again."What are they suggesting?" I asked, pointing at the documents I had just dropped on the table.I’d already read them. I knew exactly what the council was pushing. He should have known that was his cue to change the subject."They want us to buy more land. To build our own supermarkets and hospitals.""More supermarkets and hospitals? Are they prepari
Fractured BoundariesLyra’s POV“I can’t believe he’d do this, Mama! He won’t even let me see you. He hasn’t changed. Not one bit—maybe worse. How did I ever fall in love with that bastard? I can’t believe I once felt butterflies for him.”I threw myself onto the bed, muscles trembling with frustration and fear as I spoke to my mother over the phone.I didn’t tell her about his threats—how he promised to hurt my parents if I didn’t obey. The sting of tears hovered just beneath my skin.“Come on, Lyra! Don’t show weakness in front of a man when you’re trying to prove a point. Don’t let him get to you. I’ll come visit if I have to—before this month is over,” I heard her say, her voice soft and soothing. I pictured her holding me close, whispering everything would be okay.One month? How could I tell her Damon wanted me tethered like a puppet for far longer?“I’ve tried so hard to run from this feeling. Just when I think I’m free, it crashes down on me again. He hates me so much he won’t
Claiming GroundLyra’s POV“You must be out of your mind, Damon, if you think you can come here, disrupt my life, flip it upside down in a matter of hours, and I’ll just listen to you.”I don’t need a scholar to explain what Damon just did. I know exactly what it means. But if I let him walk all over me like this, I’d be showing weakness—and that’s the last thing I’ll do.“Don’t you see what’s happening, Lyra? Don’t you see? Need a reminder?” He pointed sharply to the phone he’d handed one of his men, then back at me. “I’m the Alpha now. I reign over you and your family.”He emphasized it like a predator marking territory. “I’m in charge. Accept it. You belong to me now.”Oh, the son of a bitch.“Fuck you! I don’t belong to anyone. Especially not you!” I screamed, fury burning across my face. I know I should stay quiet—play along, keep everyone safe, plan my next move. But I can’t. I won’t let him claim me after everything he put me through—rejecting me, mocking me. He can go back
