LYRA POV

A knock on the door pulled me from my deep sleep.

I blinked groggily, trying to orient myself. The bed felt too big, too empty.

Then I remembered Damon had taken his pillow and left last night.

"Come in," I called, my voice still rough with sleep.

The door opened and a maid entered, carrying what looked like formal clothing draped over her arm.

But when she turned to face me properly, I sat up alert immediately.

Devika.

We stared at each other for a long moment.

She looked different than the last time I'd seen her less hostile. Her usual arrogance was completely absent.

Finally, she dropped into a curtsey. "My Luna."

The formal address sounded strange coming from her.

I watched warily as she moved to the table and set down the clothes she'd been carrying.

"Eric has appointed me as your personal maid for the time being," she explained, her voice carefully neutral. "Until another one is found to replace... to replace Leah."

I nodded slowly, not trusting myself to speak. H

    LYRA POV I sat by the waterfall, my hand still pressed against my stomach, trying to wrap my mind around everything that had just been revealed."You don't have a choice," Lumina's voice broke through my thoughts. "You have to tell Damon he's going to be a father. Today.""How do you even know for certain?" I challenged, desperation creeping into my mental voice. "You could be wrong. Maybe what you're sensing is something else entirely.""I'm a werewolf," Lumina reminded me patiently. "You're a healer. Our senses are designed to detect these things. I can hear the heartbeat inside you, it's tiny, yes, but definitely there. I'm honestly surprised Damon hasn't sensed it yet. Once he does, he won't let you do anything that might risk the baby."I closed my eyes, reality crashing down on me. "This is really messed up. The pregnancy is going to limit everything I can do. I won't be able to train as hard. I'll have to be careful about using my powers. But I need to save Audrey. She's runni

    LYRA POV The sound of the door opening pulled me from sleep. I stirred, blinking groggily as Damon entered the room carrying another tray of food. The smell of fresh bread and cooked meat filled the air."How are you feeling?" he asked, settling onto the bed beside me and placing the tray within easy reach.I pushed myself up to sitting, my body protesting the movement. "Weaker than last night, actually. I thought I'd feel better after sleeping.""That's probably because your healing reserves are completely empty. You need to eat more before you'll start feeling normal again." He frowned slightly. "Though I don't really know how your healing power works. How it gets filled up, I mean. That's something you'll need to figure out."I shrugged, reaching for a piece of bread. "I don't know either. Guess I'll learn as I go.""Eat everything on that tray," he instructed, standing to leave. "I have a meeting to attend, but I'll come check on you later to make sure you're resting properly."

    LYRAAfter the sex , things between Damon and me had shifted into something complicated. We weren't exactly together, but we weren't completely apart either.We existed in this strange middle ground where neither of us knew quite where we stood.But I couldn't focus on that now. I had training to complete.Hayden had moved our sessions from the river to a private training room in the pack house. He said it would be easier to practice healing techniques indoors, where we had more control over the environment.I sat cross-legged on the floor, my eyes closed, trying to find that internal light Hayden kept talking about. The room was quiet except for the sound of our breathing and the occasional crackle from the fireplace."Breathe in for four counts," Hayden instructed from his position across from me. "Hold for four. Out for four. Keep the rhythm steady."I followed his instructions, but my mind kept wandering to that night."Your focus is scattered," Hayden observed. "I can feel it fro

    LYRA POV His hands gripped my waist tightly as he pulled me closer to his chest. He leaned closer, brushing his lips against mine the same second I closed my eyes. They were cold, firm, yet gentle.His hands found the zip of my dress and with mastered precision, he pulled it down, leaving my back bare.Lumina danced with excitement but I ignored it. He carried me in his arms while I giggled and headed to the chambers. Once we got in, I was spun around. This time with my back turned to him. He pulled me closer and leaned towards my ear.His words sounded like a promise he intended to fulfil but there was no time to figure it out because I was suddenly lifted and placed against the bed.I didn't realise he had taken his clothes off until I stared at him, seeing his toned muscles and abs beckoning to me.His lips found mine and all trace of resistance vanished. Damn, this man was a good kisser.The way his tongue invaded my senses, sending me almost over the edge was amazing.My finger

    DAMON POVMy hands were folded behind my back as I paced the garden floor, my eyes constantly flicking towards the gate. Devika had delivered my message, but that didn't mean Lyra would actually come.She had every right to refuse. Every right to stay away and let me suffer in my guilt alone.I looked at the table I'd had prepared—dishes of all her favorite foods, candles casting soft light across the garden, flowers arranged carefully to make everything perfect. It all seemed inadequate now. How could a nice dinner make up for the lies I'd told? The trust I'd broken?But I had to try. Had to do something other than watch her walk past me like I didn't exist.The gate creaked open and my heart stopped.Lyra stood there, bathed in moonlight, wearing a green dress that made her look ethereal. Her hair was styled beautifully, soft waves framing her face. She looked stunning. Absolutely stunning.I took a step towards her. Then another. And another, until I was standing directly in front

    LYRA POVI woke before dawn, my body still aching from the previous day's events. Today was the first day of training with Hayden. Today I'd begin learning how to control whatever healing power supposedly lived inside me.I dressed quickly in simple, practical clothes that would allow me to move freely. Hayden had told me to meet him at the river just after sunrise.As I hurried out of the pack house, my mind focused on the day ahead, I wasn't watching where I was going. I collided with someone solid, stumbling backwards."I'm sorry," Damon's voice said immediately. "I wasn't paying attention."I looked up at him and barely suppressed a gasp. He looked terrible. Dark circles shadowed his eyes, which were swollen like he'd been crying or hadn't slept in days. His face looked thinner somehow, more drawn. He'd clearly been struggling as much as I had."Are you on your way to training?" he asked, his voice careful and gentle.I nodded, not trusting myself to speak.My scarf had slipped du
