Lyra POV

I didn’t expect it to affect me the way it did.

Not the council meeting itself—I had been prepared for that. Questions, doubts, the careful way people circled around what they really meant. I had already learned how to stand through that without letting it show.

But Rowan—

That was different.

I stood there long after the clearing had emptied, my mind replaying the moment over and over again.

The way he stepped forward.

The way he spoke.

The way he didn’t hesitate.

He hadn’t looked at

  • The Man I Buried    Chapter 65

    Lyra POV It wasn’t planned.There was no build-up, no moment where I told myself this is what tonight will be. If anything, it felt like the opposite of intention. It felt like something I stepped into slowly, without realizing how far I had gone until I was already there.We had been talking.That was how it started.Just talking, the way we had learned to do—carefully at first, then more naturally as time passed. We were near the edge of the forest again, the place that had somehow become ours without either of us saying it out loud. The air was cooler that night, the quiet wrapping around us in a way that made everything feel softer.I wasn’t guarded.That was the difference.I wasn’t watching myself, wasn’t measuring every word before I spoke it. I was just… there.With him.“I didn’t think it would feel like this,” I said, my voice quiet but steady.“Like what?” Rowan asked.I hesitated, not because I didn’t know the answer, but because saying it out loud still felt unfamiliar.

  • The Man I Buried    Chapter 64

    Lyra POV It didn’t happen all at once.There was no single moment where everything shifted and the pack suddenly felt whole again, no clear line between broken and healed. It came slowly, almost quietly, in ways that were easy to miss if you weren’t paying attention.But I was.I had to be.Because for a long time, I had been part of the reason everything felt unsteady.Not intentionally, not in a way I could have controlled back then, but absence leaves a mark. Silence leaves space where something is supposed to be. And the pack had felt that, even when no one said it out loud.Now, I could feel the difference.It was in the mornings first. The way the village woke with more certainty, less hesitation. People moved with purpose again, not just out of obligation but out of something steadier, something closer to trust. There were fewer pauses in conversations, fewer careful glances in my direction to see if I was holding together or about to fall apart.They weren’t watching me anymo

  • The Man I Buried    Chapter 63

    Rowan POV It wasn’t supposed to be a moment.Not the kind that stays with you, not the kind that shifts something you can’t easily name afterward. It started like everything had been starting lately—quiet, steady, without pressure. That had become our rhythm. Careful, but not strained. Close, but not overwhelming.We were by the forest again. Not deep enough for it to feel isolated, but far enough from the center of the village that the noise softened into something distant and easy to ignore. The light was low, fading slowly, the kind of evening that made everything feel a little more still than usual.Lyra stood beside me, not speaking, not restless. Just present.That alone would have been enough to hold my attention.But there was something different about her that day.Not obvious.Subtle.The way she stayed a little closer than she normally would. The way her shoulder brushed mine once and she didn’t step away immediately after. The way she looked at me like she was on the edg

  • The Man I Buried    Chapter 62

    Rowan POV It caught me off guard.Not the situation itself. That part was normal. Harmless, even. Wolves talking, working, moving through their routines the way they always had. There was nothing unusual about it, nothing that should have pulled my attention the way it did.But it did.And I knew exactly why.Lyra stood near the center of the clearing, speaking with Tomas. They were going over something practical—supplies, from what I could tell, maybe patrol provisions or distribution counts. It was the kind of conversation she had been stepping back into more frequently lately, her role settling around her again in a way that felt natural, earned.She looked comfortable.Focused.Present.And Tomas was standing a little too close.It wasn’t inappropriate. Not by any real measure. He wasn’t touching her, wasn’t speaking in a way that crossed any lines. But he was there, within her space, leaning in slightly as he pointed something out on the tablet in his hands.And she wasn’t pulli

  • The Man I Buried    Chapter 61

    Lyra povIt didn’t change everything overnight.I think a part of me expected it to. Not in some dramatic, impossible way, but at least enough that things would feel clearer after speaking with the elder. Enough that I would wake up the next morning with some kind of certainty, some direction that didn’t feel like I was constantly walking a line I didn’t fully understand.That didn’t happen.But something did shift.Not in the bond. That had already settled into something steady, something I couldn’t deny even when I tried. The shift was quieter than that. It was in me. In the way I stopped fighting every moment before it even had the chance to exist.I noticed it first in the smallest ways.The way I didn’t tense immediately when I felt him nearby.The way I didn’t instinctively turn away when our paths crossed.The way silence around him didn’t feel like something I needed to fill or escape from.It wasn’t acceptance.Not fully.But it wasn’t resistance either.And that was new.I

  • The Man I Buried    Chapter 60

    Rowan POV I knew before the elder spoke.Not because anyone had told me. Not because I had overheard something or seen a sign that others hadn’t.I knew because the bond had changed.It wasn’t just awareness anymore. It wasn’t just that quiet pull that existed between us whether we acknowledged it or not. It had settled into something deeper, something more grounded, like it had taken root in a way that couldn’t be undone.Still, knowing it and hearing it confirmed were two very different things.And I wasn’t sure which one I was more prepared for.Lyra stood a few steps ahead of me in the elder’s dwelling, her posture straight, her expression composed in that careful way she used when she was holding more inside than she wanted anyone to see. I had seen that look enough times to recognize it immediately.She wasn’t calm.She was bracing.The room itself was quiet, filled with the faint scent of herbs and old wood, the kind of place that carried more history than most people ever th

  • The Man I Buried    Chapter 37

    Rowan pov The first call came from the clearing.Low.Carried through the night air like a signal.It wasn’t loud.Didn’t need to be.Everyone knew what it meant.It was time.---Lyra didn’t move.She stood where she was, arms at her sides, gaze fixed somewhere ahead that didn’t exist.The moon

  • The Man I Buried    Chapter 33

    Rowan POV Grief changed the way a place sounded.It wasn’t just quieter.It was… restrained.Like every voice had learned to soften itself, to step carefully around something fragile that could break again if disturbed too harshly.Silver Ridge felt like that now.Held together.I moved through th

  • The Man I Buried    Chapter 29

    Rowan POV The ground had been prepared before sunrise.I watched them from a distance as they worked—quiet, methodical, careful with every movement. No one spoke unless necessary. No one rushed. Even the sound of shovels breaking earth felt… restrained.Respectful.This wasn’t just another burial

  • The Man I Buried    Chapter 27

    Rowan POV No one moved. Not for a long time.The clearing stayed frozen in that heavy, unbearable silence, every eye fixed on Lyra as if waiting for something to shift—something to break.But it didn’t. Not at first.She stood exactly where she had been when the words were spoken. Shoulders strai
