Damion's POV

You don't care about her! She is a traitor! Whatever she does is none of your business!

I had to keep reminding myself that this woman had no layer of importance in my life. She was nothing more than an object to be used by me.

Just like the other women in my life, she was nothing special. The others were just s*x toys meant to quench my list whenever I wanted to, she was just a figure to show to everyone as my Luna.

The only women that I showed compassion towards were my mother and sister. I could kill for them anyday, anytime. They easiest way to mess with me was to try any attempt at harm to those two.

Other than that, affection bore no residence in my personality. All I knew was duty to my pack and making sure everyone else feared me.

I drowned my glass of root beer. I had taken a break to rewind from everything. Seated across from me was my Beta; Logan McGill.

He was my best friend for as long as I knew how to walk. His father and mine were close so we basically grew up together.

He was the only other person that I could have a conversation with about what was going on in my personal life.

He was just as tall as me with dull brown eyes that only lit up when he was about to smile. He had a great build.

We were two contrasting personalities. While he was the social and jovial one who made everyone smile wherever he went, I was the reserved friend who would rather kill a thousand men that show emotion.

Emotions make you weak and vulnerable. Those were two traits that I didn't wish to possess.

“Maybe you should ease up on her a little.”

I sighed. “What are you going on about?”

“I mean, I get you're ruthless but the way you spoke with her in public was just heartbreaking. I'm not surprised that she wants to get as far away from you as possible.”

“Not you too taking her side. Have you forgotten that she is my property and that I can do with her however I please?”

He had witnessed the incident with Mia earlier and wouldn't stop talking about it ever since.

“That I do not disagree with. But why do you have a problem with her leaving if she is just a house object to you? It's not like she is of any use for you around the house.”

“Xander will do everything in his power to sleep with her. I can't have that.”

“Why? You don't seem to have a problem with sleeping with other Alpha's Luna.”

“Don't blame me for that. They are the ones who offer their bodies to me. I don't go about begging for s*x like Xander.”

“Maybe if you had treated her a little better she wouldn't have seen the need to see comfort in another man’s arms.”

“Save your preachings, Logan. I asked you what to do about this situation. I didn't call you here to try and convince me into caring about women.”

Logan sighed. I knew he would keep on pressing about the matter if I hadn't put a stop to it.

“There is nothing to do. Just let the woman do what she wants. But if you're jealous about seeing her with another man, then treat her well and she'll stay faithful to you.”

I rolled my eyes. What was wrong with everyone calling me jealous? I didn't love her. Why would I get jealous?

“You're not helping,” I scolded.

“You said it yourself. No woman is special. You can change her with a snap of your finger. If at any point, you get tired you'll change her anyway. Besides, you don't usually have a problem when the women you sleep with do the same with others.”

“I'm not changing her for another two years. We signed an agreement, remember?”

“She is just going to work. If you don't want Xander trying to seduce her, then confront him and warn him to stay away from her.” He took a sip of his root beer. “If you don't care, then just let her be and go on with your affairs.”

Now he was talking. That was something great to do. I would do just that. I was going to ignore her until after it was time to carry out the plan I had in mind for her and her father.

“That is what I will do.”

“All you have to be bothered about is if she is actually going to impact his company and make him grow more than you.”

No one can be greater than me. “There is no way she knows her way around fashion. Xander just wants her to himself. He knows there is no miracle that can pull his company back up.”

“If you say so.”

“I guess we'll just wait and see.”

Speaking of Mia, I hadn't seen her all day. I had sent a guard earlier to go and fetch her for me but he still hadn't returned.

“Where the hell is this guard?”

Logan shrugged. He looked up and something behind me caught his attention. His next words were a whisper. “Speak off the devil.”

“Do you have a death wish, guess?!” I yelled. “I sent you to grab me Mia. Why haven't you come back with her.’

“Sir I have searched everywhere for her but I couldn't find her. I had to go to the gate and ask if they had seen her. The last time they saw her, she was in a car, getting out of the pack.”

What? “Was she alone?”

“No. Alpha Xander was with her.”

I slammed my hand on the table. “And none of you assholes thought that didn't look right.”

“They tried to stop the car. But Luna Mia told them to stand down that she had permission from you to move about freely.”

“And none of you cared to reach out to me and confirm? How much more useless could you be?”

I was restless. I began pacing my room. “I have had enough of Xander. Logan, coordinate the troops we are going to take over his pack!”

“You know that is not reasonable, Damion. I'm sure there is a reason she went with him and he is going to drop her off when they are done.”

“Am I stuttering?! Do as I asked!”

“Calm down, Damion. She is going to show up. If she doesn't show up before evening, I'm sending a troop over to his pack.”

“Xander had captured my Luna. He's going to regret messing with me.”

    Lyra’s POVHours later, the celebration faded into murmurs and distant laughter.The moon had risen full and low casting silver light through the open hall, washing everything in a calm too fragile to trust.The banners of Bloodhound and Moonshine hung side by side, their crimson threads glinting beneath the torchlight. For the first time in decades, the packs had feasted without bloodshed. The war was over. The lost had been honored. The living dared to hope.I stood by the tall window, watching the stars shimmer across the horizon.They looked close tonight — like they were listening.My reflection stared back at me — Mia’s face, Lyra’s eyes. Two souls fused by vengeance and rebirth. I was no longer the ghost that haunted the woods. I was the fire that had crawled from its ashes.Footsteps echoed softly behind me.Damion came up, wrapping his arms around my waist. His warmth seeped through me, grounding me in a world that still didn’t feel real.“You silenced centuries of fear in a

    CHAPTER 129Lyra’s POVPeace had never sounded so strange.No war cries, no burning steel. Only the soft hum of rebuilding and the whispers of ghosts we could never bury.The Bloodhound Pack was breathing again. After months of bloodshed, of watching the world burn under Lucius and Nyla’s madness, dawn finally came without fear.But peace was fragile and it trembled beneath every stare, every uncertain word spoken in the courtyard that morning.Damion and I called the gathering beneath the high dome of the council hall.The Bloodhound and Moonshine Alphas filled the chamber — men and women who had once bowed to Lucius’s cruelty, now watching me with wary eyes. Some whispered, some glared. None dared to speak too loud.They were waiting for answers.For truth.Damion stood at the center of the room, his black coat brushing the stone, his presence quiet but commanding. “Today,” he began, his voice echoing against the marble walls, “we close a chapter written in blood.”He turned to me.

  • Twin Hearts,Broken Bonds   CHAPTER 128

    Lyra’s POVThe night was too quiet.Too still.Even the wind had stopped moving, and the Bloodhound Pack slept soundly beneath a silver moon. I stood by the window, feeling something stir in my chest — a weight, a warning. My wolf shifted restlessly beneath my skin.I couldn’t sleep. The child inside me stirred softly, a flutter beneath my ribs — fragile, alive, a reminder that peace might finally exist after all the bloodshed. Damion had made sure the pack was safe, rebuilding the ruins Lucius left behind. For once, the world was still.Then I felt it.That familiar, poisonous energy.My breath caught.It couldn’t be.But before I could think, a shadow slipped through the courtyard — silent as death. Her aura hit me like a blade to the heart.It was Nyla.I stepped out into the cold air barefoot, the gravel biting into my skin, my heartbeat echoing in my ears. She stood in the moonlight — pale, hollow, her eyes glowing with crimson fury.“Did you miss me, sister?” she whispered, her

    Nyla’s POVSilence.That was all that remained when the screams faded.Pain.That’s all that was left of me.The smell of blood still clung to the walls of the cell. Xander’s blood. His scent haunted me, thick and suffocating — a reminder of the moment everything shattered. His body had been taken hours ago, but I could still see him, sprawled across the cold stone floor, eyes lifeless…My knees pressed against the stone floor, slick with what was left of him. Xander. His blood still stained my hands, warm once, now cold and sticky, like the life that had drained from me too.He was gone.Gone because of her.I stared at the empty space where his body had lain, the weight of it crushing me from the inside out. His eyes had closed in peace, his lips had formed her name — not mine. Never mine.Lyra.Even thinking about it made my throat burn.I pressed my palms to my face, the sobs tearing out of me uncontrollably. My heart screamed her name in fury. My fingers shook as I looked down at

  • Twin Hearts,Broken Bonds   Chapter 126

    Damion's POV Outside, the air was heavy with smoke and the faint scent of rain. Warriors gathered in the courtyard, weary but alert. They looked up as I descended the stairs — the Alpha King, bloodied but unbroken.I raised my voice, letting it cut through the silence.“Lucius is dead.”A hush fell.“I killed him,” I continued, the words cold and sharp. “He was the one who murdered my father. He deceived us all — framed Beta Sinclair, divided the pack, and turned brother against brother. But his reign ends tonight.”A murmur spread like wildfire. The tension that had hung over Bloodhound lands for years finally cracked — replaced by shock, then relief, then fury.I lifted my chin. “The Bloodhound Pack is free again. The lies end here. The curse ends here.”Cheers broke out — raw, thunderous howls that rose to the sky. Warriors beat their chests. Mothers wept. Elders bowed.I waited for the noise to quiet, then added, my voice softer but steady, “Our Luna lives. And she carries our fu

  • Twin Hearts,Broken Bonds   CHAPTER 125

    Damion’s POVThe world felt too quiet after the blood stopped spilling.I carried Lyra in my arms, her body limp, her pulse faint but there. Each step back to Bloodhound territory felt heavier than the last. My hands were slick with blood — hers, mine, Lucius’s — I couldn’t tell anymore.By the time I reached the gates, the guards froze. Eyes widened. Murmurs rippled through the crowd like wind through dry leaves.Their Alpha King had returned.But there was no victory in my stride, only exhaustion, rage, and the desperate hope that the woman in my arms would open her eyes again.“Prepare the healer,” I ordered, my voice hoarse but commanding. “Now.”Warriors moved aside instantly. No one dared speak. No one dared breathe. I took her through the courtyard, through the grand hall, straight to our chamber. The scent of smoke and steel lingered in the air, but I didn’t care. I laid her gently on the bed, brushing strands of hair from her pale face.I laid her gently on our bed, my hands
