DAMONI stared at Ian, certain I'd heard him wrong. "Are you serious right now? Out of everything you could possibly want, you're choosing for me to give you my Luna?""She was my Luna first!" Ian's voice rose, angry and defensive. "Until you stole her away from me!""I didn't steal anyone." Rage simmered beneath my words, hot and dangerous. "You rejected Lyra as your mate. You treated her badly in your pack. You humiliated her publicly, tried to lock her in a dungeon, made her life miserable. I simply gave her an opportunity to leave your toxic pack for somewhere else.""I don't care about what happened before." Ian moved closer, his eyes hard. "I want her back. That's my final demand.""She's not a toy you can just request whenever you feel like it." I stepped forward, putting myself between Ian and Lyra. "She's a person. My mate. My Luna. She's carrying my child. You don't get to just demand her like she's some object to be traded.""I'm not negotiating with you, Damon." Ian's voic

DAMON POV I was cutting through Ian's warriors, making my way towards the forest where I'd sensed Audrey's presence, when a warrior broke through the chaos and rushed towards me."Alpha! You need to find Audrey and bring her back immediately!"I spun towards the warrior, fury exploding through me. Who did this person think they were, telling me what to do in the middle of a battle? I raised my sword, ready to strike them down for their insolence."What is our mate doing on the battlefield with us?".Azriel's voice cut through my rage, sharp and urgent.I froze. "What are you talking about? She's back at the pack house, guarding the affairs. I'm not stupid enough to allow her to accompany us to a dangerous fight like this.""Our mate is standing in front of us, right ight now."My blood ran cold. I looked at the warrior more carefully. The armour was standard issue, the helmet covering most of the face. But the height was wrong. And the way they moved—The warrior was still waiting

DAMONI ran through the chaos of the battlefield with Audrey clutched tightly against my chest. Her small arms wrapped around my neck, holding on with desperate strength."Papa, we can't leave Lyra all alone inside with Ian!" Her voice was panicked, frightened. "We have to go back for her!""Lyra has made her choice." I kept running, dodging warriors and bodies. "She'll be angry with me if I leave this fight and go back in there.""But she could get hurt—""She has a score she needs to settle personally with Ian. I don't want to interfere with that." The words tasted bitter in my mouth, but they were true. Lyra had claimed this fight as her own, and I had to respect that choice, even if it tore me apart.I spotted a well-hidden area away from the fighting—a cluster of large rocks and thick bushes that provided cover. I set Audrey down carefully, kneeling to her level."Listen to me very carefully." I gripped her shoulders. "You're going to run into those woods over there. Stay hidden.

DAMON POV The news had spread through the pack like wildfire—Alec and Devika had been the ones to facilitate the war. They'd betrayed their own people, endangered their Alpha's daughter, caused the death of their Luna.Or near death. Lyra still hadn't woken up.The pack's reaction had been immediate and violent. People demanded justice, demanded blood. They wanted the traitors executed publicly, their bodies displayed as a warning to anyone else who might consider betrayal.But I'd held back. Locked Alec, Marcus, and Anabelle in the dungeon whilst we waited for the high council to convene for proper judgement.Today was that day.I sat in the council chamber with the five elders and Eric, going through the last items of business before the judgement that evening."How are the security measures coming along?" I directed the question at Eric.He straightened in his chair. "Better than expected. The money from the plantation sale was more than enough to set up proper border barricades.

LYRA POV "I don't want to watch the execution," I stated firmly when Damon brought it up again.He looked relieved. "Good. I wasn't going to allow it anyway. You've just woken up from a long sleep. The trauma of what happened would only return if you witnessed that.""I just want to rest. To process everything that's happened." I leaned back against the pillows, exhaustion weighing down every limb. "Five months. I can't believe I was unconscious for five months.""You're here now. That's what matters." Damon's hand found mine, squeezing gently. "We can deal with everything else later."Eric returned with a tray of food—simple broth, soft bread, and fruit. "Hayden said to start with light foods. Your stomach needs to adjust."I managed a few spoonfuls of broth before my appetite gave out completely. Everything tasted strange, muted somehow."That's enough for now," Hayden approved when he arrived for another examination. "We'll work on building your strength gradually."He conducted a
