POV: Lyra

The letter arrived at dawn.

I found it slipped beneath my door in a plain envelope with no seal and no marking. I picked it up and turned it over in my hands and felt my heart beat faster because I knew what it was before I opened it.

My lawyer.

I sat on the edge of my bed and unfolded the paper.

The words blurred as I read them. Then they sharpened into something cold and sharp and undeniable.

Luna Lyra,

I have completed my investigation into your mating contract and the circumstance

  • When the luna stops waiting    Colt's Regret

    POV: ColtThe pack house was silent.I sat alone in my study with the curtains drawn and the fire dying in the hearth and a glass of whiskey in my hand that I had not touched in hours. The room was dark and cold and the only light came from the embers glowing orange in the grate.She had been gone for three months.Three months of waking up in an empty bed. Three months of walking through halls that felt too large and too quiet. Three months of reaching for her in the middle of the night and finding nothing but cold sheets.I had sent wolves after her.The first group came back with nothing. They had tracked her to the border and lost the scent in the mountains. The second group came back with less. The third group did not come back at all.I stopped sending wolves after that.I took a drink from the glass and felt the whiskey burn my throat and settled back in my chair. The fire popped and a log shifted and the shadows danced on the walls.She was out there somewhere.She was alive.

  • When the luna stops waiting    The Final Goodbye

    POV: LyraThe sun was rising when I walked out of the cabin for the last time.The air was cold and clean and the sky was streaked with gold and pink and the forest around us was waking up with the sound of birds and the rustle of small creatures in the underbrush. I stood on the wooden step and looked at the trees and felt something settle in my chest that I had not felt in years.Peace.Becca came out behind me with her bag slung over her shoulder and her hair braided back from her face. She looked different than she had when I first met her. Stronger. Taller somehow. The bruises on her arms had faded and the fear in her eyes had been replaced by something steadier.Jaden followed with his own bag and a look on his face that was calm and certain. He had not spoken much since we left Darkhall territory. He did not need to. His presence said everything."Ready?" he asked.I nodded.We walked east.---The path through the forest was narrow and winding and the trees grew thick on eithe

  • When the luna stops waiting    The Truth Revealed

    POV: LyraThe cabin was quiet.Becca had fallen asleep on the small bed in the corner with her hand still clutching mine, and Jaden was sitting by the window with his eyes fixed on the dark tree line outside. Neither of them had spoken since I came inside. Neither of them had asked me what happened.They did not need to.They had heard the scream.I sat on the floor with my back against the wall and my hands resting in my lap and I watched the fire burn low in the hearth. The pain from the broken bond had faded to a dull ache in my chest. The emptiness was still there but it was no longer sharp. It was just a quiet hollow space where something used to be.I closed my eyes.And then I saw it.A flash of light. A face I did not recognize. A woman with silver eyes and dark hair and a voice that sounded like bells.Run, little one. Do not look back.I gasped and my eyes flew open.The fire crackled. Becca stirred. Jaden turned from the window."What happened?" he asked.I shook my head."

  • When the luna stops waiting    The Formal Rejection

    POV: LyraHe was still on his knees when I walked back outside.The moon had climbed higher in the sky and the air had grown colder and the forest around us was silent except for the sound of his breathing. He had not moved from where I left him. He had not stopped crying. His face was wet and his eyes were red and his hands hung limp at his sides.I stood in front of him and looked down."Get up," I said.He raised his head slowly."Lyra—""Get up."He rose to his feet. His legs were unsteady and his body swayed and for a moment I thought he would fall. But he caught himself and stood there looking at me with those broken eyes."I have something to say to you," I said.He waited."You rejected me in front of everyone. You broke our bond. You spoke the words that ended us."He flinched."But you never gave me the chance to respond. Not properly. Not in a way that was mine."His face went pale."What are you saying?"I looked at him."I am saying that you ended our bond without my cons

  • When the luna stops waiting    The Confrontation

    POV: Lyra Three days had passed since I left Darkhall territory. We had found shelter in an abandoned cabin at the edge of the neutral lands, a place Jaden knew from his years of patrolling the borders. It was small and drafty and the roof leaked when it rained, but it was ours. No one could reach us here. No one could hurt us. Becca had spent the first day cleaning every corner until the dust was gone and the windows sparkled. Jaden had repaired the door and patched the roof and chopped enough wood to last us through the month. I had walked the perimeter and marked the boundaries and felt the power hum beneath my skin with every step I took. For the first time in five years, I was free. But I knew it would not last. Colt would come. I felt it in my bones. I felt it in the way my wolf stirred whenever the wind shifted and carried a familiar scent. I felt it in the way the bond we had broken still ached somewhere deep inside me, a phantom limb that refused to accept it was gone.

  • When the luna stops waiting    The Cooling-Off Period Ends

    POV: Lyra The letter arrived on a Tuesday. I was sitting in the garden when Jaden found me. He was holding a plain white envelope in his hand and his face was carefully blank, the way it always was when he was trying not to show what he felt. "This came for you," he said. I took it. I knew what it was before I opened it. I had been counting the days in my head since the separation was filed. Twenty-eight days. Four weeks. One month. The cooling-off period was over. I unfolded the paper and read the words I had been waiting for. Luna Lyra, The mate bond separation has been finalized. You are no longer legally bound to Alpha Colt Darkhall. Your assets, as outlined in the original mating contract, have been restored to your name. You are free to leave Darkhall territory at your discretion. It has been an honor to serve you. I read it twice. Then I folded it carefully and placed it in my pocket and looked up at Jaden. "It is done," I said. He nodded. "I know." I stood up.
