CHAPTER 14

Lyra(Mia's)POV

I was seated beside Xander while Nyla sat in front.

If looks could kill, I'm sure that Nyla would have buried a dagger in my gut like she had ordered her hoodlums to do in my other life.

I was uncomfortable with her being in the same car with me. But I kept my cool.

I didn't want to mess up this part of the plan. I ignored both of them and looked out the window.

I recall the pack a little differently.

There was a new building at every corner and new businesses here and there. Everyone wanted to dabble in commerce it would seem. Even the air seemed to smell different, unclear.

Me being back here plagued me with so many memories. These were the streets I grew up in.

I could remember touring every corner of the pack whether I was allowed to or not. I could still remember walking around with my sister and causing trouble wherever we went.

Now that woman that meant everything to me was a traitor. I wouldn't have believed that we would ever grow apart and hate each other after the kind of deep connection that we had.

But I guess life wouldn't stop hitting me with surprises.

“Impressed?” Xander asked as he caught me observing the environment.

“Not so much. Feels like every other pack I have been to.”

“Wait till you see my home.”

I turned to him sharply and so did Nyla.

“Your home?”

“You're taking her to our house?” Nyla retorted. “What happened to taking her to the company?”

“Don't be so bitter. We have just invited Luna Mia into our pack. We ought to host her accordingly. There is no way she can visit and not be properly hosted.”

“There is no need to take me back to your house. It's okay if we go straight to the company so I check it out. I have to get back anyway before Damion begins to get worried.”

“You heard her, Xander. She has to get back as soon as possible,” Nyla chipped in.

“That's nonsense. You're coming to my palace first and then I'm taking you on a tour to my workplace. Don't worry, I contacted the maids to whip up something for you.”

I would have kept rejecting his offer but his mind was already made up. There was no changing it.

Even Nyla has given up.

I didn't want to show up to the palace.

Just as we turned to the path leading to the palace gate, I could already feel the memories flooding In. I was held captive by a feeling of nostalgia for all the sad and few happy moments I had here.

As you would have guessed, the dark memories were the dominant.

This was where I had been made fun of, rejected, betrayed and lastly, killed.

Even as we got to the parking lot, I refused to step down from the door. How could I spend another moment in here when all it had taught me was watching my back and trusting no one?

This was an even more uncomfortable place for me. It made the palace back in Riverdale feel like a walk in the park.

I felt a hand touch my shoulder gently.

“I know it's magnificent. But we do need to get inside.”

How boastful of him. The building in front of me meant nothing. It was the memories I had made over the years that made me stunned.

“It is,” I managed to say. “I wonder how long it must have taken to put such a magnificent structure up.”

Like everything else, the palace has changed.

“Some parts had been demolished and made even grander. I had the entire place repainted and even added a couple of buildings.”

All he said was true. But that didn't impress me. Frankly I was disappointed. I was used to how the palace was before. There was never a need for space nor was the building looking less grand. Everything was just perfect.

“Looks great,” I commented. I wondered what made him motivated to give the building a new look.

“I know. Now let's go. The maids have everything in order for your arrival.” He led me to the palace ignoring Nyla. “Come along, Nyla.”

His attention was on me just like I expected. I stole a glance at Nyla and her eyes still looked like they would tear me in half.

Now she knew what it felt like when her man gets stolen. She followed us into the house but at a pace that kept her at more than an arm's length.

I hesitated at the door but I finally walked in.

Surprisingly the interior has remained the same. The nostalgia hit hard.

I ran my hand along the swede cushion letting my finger slip through the smooth material.

When the pictures on the wall remained the same except there was a new frame. It was a picture of Damion and Nyla smiling and holding hands while being adorned in wedding apparel.

They looked so happy, a sharp contrast in what was theirs reality right now.

“Go and call everyone to come out. We have a guest,” he instructed Nyla and she obeyed.

She disappeared down a hallway. By the time she emerged, she had gathered everyone. I'm talking about everyone from my past life; my family.

My father; Nathan, my mother; Lucy. They all walked out with smiles on their faces.

I had the urge to rush after them and hug them. It feels like an eternity since I saw them. I wanted to tell them that I was their daughter who had been reborn into another maiden's body.

But no one would believe me. Here I was with another face and life. Even I was yet to come to terms with my new reality.

But then I recalled. They wouldn't want anything to do with me. Even if there was a way to prove to them that I was Lyra, I would always be the daughter that brought shame to my entire pack and the child my parents couldn't defend.

Speaking of my mother, she wouldn't stop staring at me. She seemed to stare past my skin into my soul. I had to look away from her intense stare.

Xander did the introductions. “Hello guys, this is…”

My mother finished his sentence.

“...Lyra?”

  • Twin Hearts,Broken Bonds   CHAPTER 130

    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

  • Twin Hearts,Broken Bonds   CHAPTER 127

    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
