Rylan's POVAs we got closer, I saw the looks on their faces. I saw the look of disapproval on the faces of some and the look of excitement on the faces the others. Alexis was in the crowd too. But as we came closer, her figure vanished from the crowd and I knew she was running away. She hadn't expected that I'd be back so soon and with Lyra.I hadn't expected to meet her back at the camp. She'd made a bluff about wanting to leave with those who trusted her.“I see you're still here, Alexis.” I called. She came back to the crowd now, having no other choice. “Welcome back, Rylan.”I ignored the greeting.“I'm wondering why you sent Lyra away,” I said as I walked towards the crowd. Finn looked for food for Lyra and she found a spot to sit and eat while she watched us. “I was helping,” she said, her voice breaking. “I thought it was the only way to keep the rogue pack safe. She was—she was too much of a risk.”“A risk?” I repeated, my tone sharp. I could feel the tension in the cro

Damian's POV As we got deeper into the woods, I became more worried. There'd been no sign back at the Blood Nest pack to suggest that there was an attack going on. I hadn't expected the attack in any way because human hunters never went so far. They did all they could to protect their boundaries and try to make sure detected vampires and werewolves didn't come to their city, but coming all the way into the woods to attack a rogue pack was something that'd not happened in a long time. The thought of Lyra being in the middle of such chaos made me worry so much I started to fidget. She was carrying my children, our children. Whatever grievances we had, I could not let her fall into harm’s way. I turned to the men riding with me, their faces grim and determined.“We ride hard,” I ordered. “There’s no time to waste but it looks like we are going too slowly.”The forest blurred past us as we sped toward the rogues’ camp. My thoughts were a storm. Lyra had always been stubborn, there was

Damian's POV“What did you find, Cade?” I asked, moving over to where the man who'd found something, called. "Here, an unburnt cloth that could belong to the Blood Nest pack and possibly the Luna," he replied, holding out the cloth to me. I took the cloth and sniffed it. It had scent of Lyra on it. The vampires with us looked unsettled. Raphael, their leader, stood a few feet away, his pale face expressionless, though his sharp eyes missed nothing. He and his group had only recently joined us, but their presence was a reminder of the uneasy alliances we had been forced to form."We keep searching," I said firmly. "Lyra might have survived. She’s strong."‘No. She survived,’ I said inwardly, convincing enough to myself.We combed the camp thoroughly, lifting broken beams, pushing aside rubble, and calling out for any survivors. But there was no answer. The silence was almost deafening, broken only by the crackling of the dying embers."Alpha," Cade called out again, kneeling by wha

Lyra's POVThe crackling fire outside the tent had settled into faint embers by the time I slipped inside the tent that had been prepared for me. The night was calm, the sound of crickets filling the air. The others were still moving about, setting up what they could to make this patch of forest feel like home for the night. A small river nearby had become our lifeline, its clean water keeping us nourished and refreshed. The men had already fished enough to feed everyone.I lay down, exhausted. My body felt heavy, my limbs aching from the long journey and the strain of pregnancy. Still, I wanted to see Rylan again. I wanted to give up my sleep and sit with him all night, only if he was willing to sit with me too. The man had a sense of duty that he was committed to and despite our growing connection, he kept his distance. There were times I wanted nothing more than to lie next to him and have his hands wrap around me. There were times I wanted to feel his protective arms around me. A

Lyra's POV Morning arrived, though it felt like I hadn’t slept at all. My eyes fluttered open, and the dull ache in my head made me groan. The events of the previous night weighed on me—the fear in the camp, Alexis’ return, and most of all, the kiss I’d shared with Rylan.Before I could dwell on it, my stomach churned violently, and I sat upright. A sharp wave of nausea hit me, and I barely managed to stumble outside before doubling over. My body shook as I emptied my stomach onto the dirt, making loud vomiting noice.“Breathe, Lyra,” I muttered to myself between heaves, my hand holding my stomach tightly.I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, trembling and weak. As I stood there, trying to regain my balance, I heard footsteps approaching. I turned to see a young girl with bright eyes and a concerned expression hurrying toward me.“Are you okay?” she asked, her voice soft but urgent.I nodded, though I doubted I looked convincing. “I’ll be fine,” I rasped.“Here,” she said, pulli
