Lyra's POVThe heavy iron door clicked shut behind me, completely sealing Iris inside her dark cell. I stood in the cold basement hallway, feeling entirely drained. My hands were shaking, and my breathing was very uneven. Talking to Iris took a massive toll on me physically and emotionally. All the crying, the shouting, and the terrible secrets she revealed had left my mind completely exhausted.Jeremy, Silas, Raphael, Caspian, Orion, and Rowan were standing just a few feet away. They watched me closely as I leaned against the stone wall to catch my breath."Well?" Jeremy asked, stepping forward with a deep frown on his face. "What did she say? Did you get the answers you were looking for?"I looked at him, feeling a sudden wave of annoyance. "Why are you asking me? I thought you already knew everything. Weren't you standing right outside the door listening to every single word we said?""We did not hear anything," Silas said, shaking his head slowly."How is that even possible?" I as

Caspian's POVI could clearly see how Lyra was doing for the past few days, especially after she was shown to the entire world. Ever since her white wolf form was exposed during the rogue attack, she looked completely exhausted. The heavy burden of her new reality was crashing down on her shoulders. We all knew she was entirely desperate to find her family and her true origins. It was the only thing keeping her moving forward.She also had a lot on her mind lately, quietly thinking about the foster mother who took care of her all these years. Iris turned out not to be her real mother at all, but someone who stole her from her parents. Because of that selfish choice, Lyra had to suffer all this time in poverty, living a life built on a massive lie. Watching her sit quietly by the window with a blank expression made me feel deeply sorry for her.I used to think my brothers and I were the most pitiful people in the world because of how we lost almost all of our family. Our parents were t

Lyra's POVI kept looking everywhere and seeing how the place was so strange, yet it was absolutely packed with people from different walks of life in their own kind. The sheer size of the council hall was overwhelming, with towering stone walls that stretched high up into the darkness of the ceiling. I couldn't believe that there was something like this hidden away from the normal world. I mean, I wouldn't have believed this so many years ago since I was practically a human before then. Living in run-down apartments, worrying about paying cheap bills, and avoiding bad neighborhoods felt like an entirely different lifetime compared to this grand, supernatural gathering.I looked around the hall, and everywhere was filled with so many ancient things and decorations. There were massive, heavy tapestries hanging from the stone pillars, depicting giant wolves in the middle of fierce battles. The chandeliers above us were made of dark, twisted iron, holding hundreds of thick, burning candl

Raphael's POVI watched Lyra storm out of the council hall like a hurricane, and my blood ran cold. She was furious, and truthfully, I couldn't blame her. I had stood there in front of the elders and the Ashford family and agreed to a marriage alliance I despised. I had seen the hurt in her eyes, a sharp, piercing look that felt like a dagger to my chest.At first, I told myself it didn't matter. I told myself she was just an outsider who didn't understand the complex politics of our kind. But that was a lie. Since she had been living with us, I had seen a side of her that the rest of the world never got to see. I had seen her fierce courage, her hidden vulnerability, and the way she fought for her own survival against impossible odds. Suddenly, I found myself caring far too much. I cared about what she thought of me, and more importantly, I realized she was my mate. She deserved an explanation. If I wasn't planning on breaking our bond, I owed her the truth about my plans.I searched

Lyra's POVI blinked, the world slowly coming back into focus. Joshua was still looking at me, his hand gently shaking my shoulder. I felt like I had just woken up from a very long, confusing dream. I quickly regained my composure, smoothing down my hair and forcing a polite, small smile onto my face."I am so sorry," I said, my voice sounding a bit shaky. "I was just thinking about something else. My name is Lyra. It is nice to meet you, Joshua.""It is nice to meet you, too, Lyra," he replied, beaming at me.I took a good look at him. He had a very friendly face and warm eyes that didn't hold any of the sharp judgment I was used to from the other students at this school. Most people here looked at me like I was a disease they didn't want to catch. They either whispered behind my back or stared at me with pure, cold hostility. But Joshua was different. He was pretty easygoing and incredibly nice.He probably does not know yet, I thought to myself. He is new to the school, so he hasn'
