Chapter 1

Lyra's POVThe halls of the pack house were filled with pack members who had come for the memorial of the royal loss.As the Luna of the Blood Nest pack and the one whose son had been snatched by death, I was surrounded by the female werewolves of the pack in my chambers. The beta's wife and the gamma's wife were present. They sat by my side and they consoled me. My eyes were wet with tears and for the umpteenth time, I wondered if there was no way the moon goddess could restore my precious son back to me.“This is not how I had imagined my life as Luna,” I said to no one in particular, tears welling up in my eyes once again.The gamma's wife, Sterling, patted my back.“It's already a year since your son joined the moon goddess. You can't change what has been. Perhaps you should stop mourning him.”I shook my head vehemently, refusing her comfort.“How can I have my first and only child snatched from me by death? I'll always remember. He was the heir to the Blood Nest! How can I forge

Chapter 2

Lyra's POV My legs trembled as I continued to punch the tree stump, letting out my frustration as I did.The woods were silent except for the occasional chirping of birds. With every strike, I felt the tears running down my cheeks. I brushed off the tears and continued, beating my palms against the tree until it was bloody.Damian, my fated mate and now ex-husband had picked my best friend, Eloisa to be his new partner and he had done this on the day of our son's death anniversary.I was here in a rogue pack where I'd come to stay with Rylan, the leader of the pack who was an enemy of Damian. I would get my revenge in due time by forming an alliance with Damian's enemy, Rylan.I didn't know how long I'd been hitting the tree stump when I heard my name.“Lyra.”I froze, the sound sending a chill down my spine. I turned to see Damian, standing a few feet away, arms crossed, his eyes cold as ever.How did he find me? How had he known I'd be in the woods at the rogue pack?I turned to fa

Chapter 3

Lyra's POVWe returned back to the rogue camp when it was almost nightfall. Rylan had managed to help me come awake minutes after I'd fainted. It was cold and I pulled my cloak tightly around me, the cold wind from the mountains biting through my skin as we walked. My heart pounded in my chest, even though I tried to act like I wasn’t affected by what had just happened in the woods.But I had Rylan now. He had promised to help me—help me get the revenge I needed. I clung to that promise like a lifeline."I'd never let him get so close again," he said repeatedly."It wasn't your fault. I wanted some time alone in the woods. I didn't think he'd find me," I said."If I hadn't come there on time, he'd have forced you to go with him back to the Blood Nest pack."The sincerity of the words made me shiver.When we reached the camp, there was an open fire to warm ourselves against.Rylan led me to the fire and helped me settle on the ground.He pulled back, his hands cupping my face. His gaz

Chapter 4

Lyra's POVI stayed in the tent for long as the fighting outside continued. There were shouting and then there were footsteps of running. And then there was snarling, but no one came to the tent where I was. I was safe inside.After a while, I got tired of waiting inside. The fighting had stopped and I was sure it was safe outside.I stepped out of the tent, pulling the cloak tighter around my shoulders. The camp was quieter now, save for the crackle of fire in the distance and the low murmurs of the rogues.I didn’t know where I was going. Perhaps, to find Rylan, the one under whose protection I was.There was a tent at the far edge of the camp, set apart from the others. It looked older, the fabric fraying at the edges and its entrance draped with beaded curtains that clinked together softly in the wind. I hadn’t noticed it before, but something about it now drew me. I was supposed to be looking for Rylan. Apparently, the camp had been attacked by another faction of rogues, but I su

Chapter 5

Lyra's POV How did Damian make it into the rogue camp once again without being hurt?Had it been him leading the attack earlier?Damian’s eyes stayed on me, dark and cold, and I could see in his eyes, fury. His fury made me want to laugh too. To slap him across the face and curse him for leaving his seeds inside of me when I ought to be planning better ways to bring him down.“You didn’t think you could hide this from me forever, did you?” Damian’s voice cut through the silence, laced with fury and something else I couldn’t quite place. Possession. "I don't wish to set my eyes on you, Damian—""You’re pregnant with my children." His words were a statement, not a question. His hand reached out, hovering near my abdomen like he thought he had the right to touch me, to claim them.Rylan’s low growl rumbled behind me, a clear warning, and I stepped back, breaking Damian’s gaze. "They’re not just yours," I said, my voice firmer than I felt. "They’re mine, too. Don’t forget that."And how

Chapter 6

Damian's POVI sat in my office, my hands clasped together on the polished oak desk, my head bowed under the weight of thoughts I couldn't escape. The office was too quiet, the hum of the fireplace offering no real comfort. Even the crackle of flames seemed to mock me, a reminder of the warmth I no longer felt.“We're in a mess. Let's think up ways we can get her back. If Rylan is not letting her out of his sight, that's real trouble.”It was my wolf. I sighed.It had been weeks since Lyra left. Perhaps, I'd not expected things to play out the way they'd eventually played out. How had I let Eloisa get under my flesh and make me do the things I'd done?Until the moment Lyra had left the pack in her humiliation, it hadn't occurred to me how much pain I'd be going through without her. I ran a hand through my hair, groaning softly. The day she'd left replayed in my mind like a nightmare on repeat. I hadn’t realized how far I'd gone astray until it was too late. Eloisa. Her name was a bi

Chapter 7

Eloisa's POVThe flickering light of the candle on my vanity danced across the polished surface, casting long shadows on the walls of my room. I leaned forward, inspecting my reflection. The woman staring back looked every bit the Luna I had dreamed of becoming—elegant, poised, commanding. Yet, no amount of beauty or refinement could mask the bitterness churning inside me."Do you need anything else, my lady?" came a soft voice from behind me. My maid, Ilena, hovered near the door, her expression carefully neutral. She had been with me for years, long before I ever imagined I would wear the title of Luna."Yes, stay," I said, gesturing for her to sit. Ilena hesitated for a moment, then sank gracefully into the chair opposite me.She knew what this was. Ilena was not just my maid—she was my confidant, my partner in schemes, and, sometimes, the only person I could trust with my darkest thoughts. Tonight, I needed her more than ever.I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my dark hair

Chapter 8

Rylan's POVI sat on a flat stone near the edge of camp, my eyes fixed on the dying fire. The air was cold, but I barely felt it. My thoughts were too tangled, too alive. Lyra. She was here, sleeping just a few tents away, her presence a storm that had swept through my carefully constructed world.“She came to us, Lee. To me.”Lee, my wolf, stirred in my mind, his voice sharp and smug. “Of course she did. Where else would she go? She knows we’re her best chance at freedom. Or maybe she just knows we’re the best.”I smirked, shaking my head. “Don’t get cocky. She’s here for revenge, not for us.”“For now,” Lee countered. “But did you see her wolf? She recognized me, Rylan. The way she looked at us, like we were already connected.”I scoffed, though I couldn’t ignore the flicker of agreement deep in my chest. Lyra’s wolf had been watching me intently, her silver eyes glowing with something I couldn’t quite name. Recognition? Curiosity? Maybe both. I hadn't noticed it first, until she

Chapter 9

Lyra's POVThe tent was quiet, but my thoughts were loud. The faint smell of the campfire drifted through the fabric walls, mixing with the damp, earthy scent of the woods. I sat cross-legged on the cot, rubbing my belly as the twins shifted restlessly. They always seemed more active at night, as though they could feel my unease.I couldn’t stop thinking about Damian. About Eloisa. About everything I had lost. And now I was here, hiding among rogues, plotting to destroy the man I once called my mate. My heart ached, but I couldn’t let myself fall apart. Not now.A soft knock at the wooden post outside my tent startled me.“It’s me,” Rylan’s voice said.I hesitated before answering. “Come in.”He pushed aside the flap and stepped inside, his tall frame filling the space. His presence was always so commanding, so steady, even when the world around us wasn’t. He looked tired but alert, his dark eyes scanning the room before landing on me.“We need to talk,” he said, his voice low.I nodd

Chapter 10

Lyra's POVAs soon as Rylan left, silence filled the tent. I felt the absence of his presence immediately, as though the air had grown thinner and the walls closer. The only sounds were the faint crackle of the campfire outside and the rustling of the wind through the trees. My hands rested on my belly, feeling the subtle shifts of the twins within. They had been restless earlier but now lay still, as if sensing my thoughts.“He’s handsome,” Snow, my wolf, purred in the back of my mind, breaking the quiet.I let out a sigh.“Snow, I don’t have the energy for this.”“Oh, come on,” she teased. “You felt it too. The way his voice softened, the way he looked at you. Don’t tell me you didn’t notice.”He’s just being kind, I replied firmly. We’re allies. That’s all this is.“Kind?”Snow scoffed, her voice laced with amusement. “Lyra, allies don’t look at each other like that. And don’t even get me started on how his wolf feels about me. There’s something there, whether you admit it or not.”
