Chapter 79: BrokenLyra’s POVTlooked over at Dax, hoping to find something in his eyes— a flicker of understanding, forgiveness, anything. Bu he turned away, unable to even look at me My heart sank. Then I glanced at Keal and his face was a storm of anger; he turne his gaze from me, too, like I wasn’t worth his attention.Finally, I looked at Ronon. The silence between us spoke volumes. I guess deep down, I still hoped they’d protect me, tha they’d cover for me, because they were m mates. They were supposed to shield me weren’t they?But then I looked at the crowd gathered around us, and the fury in their faces was unmistakable. I knew I was done for. If th Alphas weren’t here, they’d kill me. It was in the eyes of the people. They wanted me dead. Why would my desperation to escape warrant so much hatred?The Guard continued to strip away my clothes, piece by piece, exposing me not just to the cold but to the judgment and wrath of everyone watching. I struggled te hold back the tears

Silence had a different texture now. It felt tactical, purposeful — like the quiet before a tide that would sweep everything away. I sat at the kitchen table with a thin lamp casting a pool of yellow over the papers I’d spread out: names, dates, fragments of conversations, an ugly web that traced back in ugly, familiar lines. The ink on the paper looked small and sane, but the things written there were not. They were seeds of war.After last night I had slept maybe two hours in fits, propped in a chair, hand over hand on the phone, calling people I’d kept at arm’s length for years and some I had never had reason to call until now. I’d always run my company like a general: contingency plans, exit strategies, redundancies. This was the same muscle; the stakes were different. This was no longer about quarterly reports or hostile takeovers. This was about my children, and that made the calculations sharper, meaner.I picked up my pen and circled a name I kept returning to: an old private

082: A little kindness 1

Lyra’s POVI watched as the crowd slowly drifted away leaving me alone in the biting cold. The chill seeped deep into my bones, and with each passing second, it felt like a part of n was freezing, hardening, becoming numb.They’d left me out here to die, abandoned and alone. The harsh reality settled over it like the weight of the snow piling up around my feet. I hadn’t meant to kill anyone —1 swear, I hadn’t. All I wanted was to escape to break free from the constant weight of life pressing down on me. I was so tired, worn down, and all I wanted was a way out.I looked around, desperate for a glimpse of mercy, my teeth chattering so hard they hurt. Maybe someone, anyone, would take pity on me and save me from this fate. But there was no one. They were gone—all of them. I was alone, forgotten like a discarded piece of trash.It struck me then, like ice running through my veins: they were waiting for me to die for my body to freeze over and turn stiff before they’d even consider coming

083: A little kindness 2

Lyra’s POVMartha’s eyes softened as she watched me dress, but I could see sadness there too, buried beneath her hurried determination.She took a deep breath, as if trying to steel herself, and then spoke.“I don’t believe the rumors, Lyra. I don’t believe you slept with that visitor,” she said, her voice thick with emotion.“I was there when Bianca’s daughter was beaten for calling you an outsider, just because you dared to say you weren’t a Vladislav. That woman—Bianca—she’s vindictive. I wanted to warn you, tell you to steer clear of her, but I was afraid. I thought maybe I’d be making trouble where there was none. Now, I think she set this all up, probably with someone else’s help, just to hurt you. She knew it would be considered a ‘domestic matter,’ so your mates wouldn’t be able to defend you.”Martha’s words made my heart ache. All this time, she’d seen through Bianca’s schemes, but she’d felt powerless to act.She was crying now, tears sliding down her weathered cheeks.“Aft

084: A lift

Lyra’s POV“Thank you,” I murmured as I sank into the passenger seat, a strange warmth spreading through me as the door shut. As the car began to move, I watched Redcape fade into the distance, slipping away like a bad memory. My heart filled with a quiet, cautious joy. I never thought I’d leave that place alive—not after everything that had happened. I closed my eyes and silently thanked the goddess for this small mercy, for this second chance. Maybe, just maybe, I could finally leave the past behind.The driver cleared his throat, his voice warm and surprisingly gentle.“I’m Ebenezer Jenkins. What’s your name?”A flicker of panic shot through me. My real name could tie me to everything I was running from, could unravel the fragile safety I’d just found.“Annika Petrov,” I replied smoothly, offering a name that felt distant enough from my true self. He nodded, smiling as though he believed me.“Sounds like a Southern name,” he said, giving me a curious glance. “What’s a Southerner li

085: Regret1

Dax’s POVI felt like I was losing my mind. Rage boiled inside me—hot, violent, uncontrollable—consuming every logical thought. I couldn’t rein it in, and neither could my wolf.How had we let it come to this? How had we allowed things to spiral so far out of control?I had been ready to go rogue, ready to tear through the Elders and force them to see reason if I had to. I would have wiped them out if it meant Lyra could be accepted. But Ronon and Keal had insisted on diplomacy—on patience.They wanted to clear her name.They wanted the people to love her.And look where that naïve plan had gotten us.When I saw the guards pulling her clothes from her body, stripping her dignity away like she was nothing, I could hardly bear to look. And then we found out they hadn’t been feeding her.They were starving her.We had given strict orders for her to receive the same meals as us—three times a day. But they ignored us. They starved her. Tortured her. All while we were out hunting that snake

086: Regret2

Dax’s POVAs we drove, silence settled in, heavy and uncomfortable. I could see the sorrow eating away at Ronon. He looked like he was drowning, his body slumped against the door, tears trailing down his face. His regret was a dark, consuming thing. Part of me wanted to scream at him again, to lash out and make him feel the pain I was carrying.“You were the one who said we should strip her bare,” I finally shouted, my voice ringing through the cramped space. “You gave that order.”Ronon’s head dropped even lower, but he didn’t defend himself. He seemed as if he couldn’t bear to look at me, or even at himself.“Was that really necessary?” I asked, my voice breaking with frustration and pain.Keal’s words cut deep, his voice sharp and unrelenting. “But you, fucking, went along with it, Dax,” he spat, his tone filled with a bitterness I hadn’t heard before. “So shut the fuck up and stop whining like a child. This anger is a little late, don’t you think? She’s gone, and nothing you do no

087: the wall

Dax’s POVElsa sighed, a deep sadness lining her face.“Poor girl had to endure too much. Any sensible wolf would have fled at the first chance. My grandmother warned your parents not to pass that Elder law—she saw this coming. I was just a child, but I remember her words to your father, warning it would lead to great calamity. Maybe this is what she meant.The Elders’ decision to turn against your Luna, to deny her humanity, has sparked a dark change. The shift in the wind, that darkness—it began with this unjust trial. You sent Gregory away, but they wouldn’t let her go. There are those in your council who can’t stand the idea of you being tied to Vladislav. This is what happens when wolves try to play god,” she said, shaking her head in frustration.Her words hit me hard, stirring anger and regret in my chest. The Elders—the very ones we were supposed to trust—had not only failed us but had actively sabotaged us. I felt the weight of their betrayal, the realization that this was a b

088: Arrivals in wood shire 1

Lyra’s POVAs we rode, the gentle hum of the car lulled me into an uneasy sleep. The nightmares were never far, though, filled with flashes of the North—cold and unyielding, just like the way they’d treated me.My mind replayed the harshest moments, making me flinch as I remembered their faces, the empty promises, the way they’d turned on me without a second thought. I believed in them, trusted in their words, and yet they’d left me to die, casting me off as if I were nothing.I’d thought I’d known suffering before, but nothing could have prepared me for the pain of their betrayal. They’d taken everything, left me with nothing but the scars of their abandonment.I could feel the tears slipping down my cheeks, but I quickly brushed them away, glancing over at Ebenezer. He hadn’t noticed, thankfully. I took a deep breath, gathering myself. It was time to look forward, not back.I was done with the North. Dax, Ronon, Keal—they could have it all, have the revenge, their so-called justice.

89: Arrivals in woodshire2

Lyra’s POVThe question made me stiffen, and I shook my head slowly, hoping it wouldn’t change things. “No wolf,” I said softly. “I hope that’s… not a problem.”He tilted his head thoughtfully, but there was no judgment in his expression. “I did notice something odd, though,” he said, his eyes narrowing in concentration. “Your eyes—they shine neon green when you’re excited. But you don’t have a wolf?”“They used to be brown. They changed… suddenly,” I replied, remembering the strange shift, one of many mysteries I’d learned to accept without question.Ebenezer seemed intrigued, but he didn’t push. He simply nodded, acknowledging the strangeness of it without needing answers. But then his expression softened, and his voice dropped as he asked, “Are you… mated?”The question made my heart sink, and I struggled with how to answer. I knew if I lied and he found out, he might lose all trust in me. But telling him the truth could mean he’d cast me out. With a deep breath, I finally nodded.
