LYRA'S POVThe smell of bleach burned my nostrils as I scrubbed the corridor outside the Alpha quarters. My knees ached from kneeling on the cold stone floor for the past three hours, but I didn't dare stop. Not when Mattres Franca could walk by at any moment with her sharp eyes and sharper tongue."Lyra! You missed a spot near the window."I flinched at her voice, barely looking up. "Yes, Ma, sorry, Ma.""She sniffed, her expensive perfume cutting through the bleach. "Honestly, I don't know why Kael keeps you around. You're practically useless."My hands tightened around the scrub brush, but I kept my head down. That was the omega way. Silent. Obedient. Invisible.Three weeks had passed since the mating ceremony. Three weeks since I'd felt their hands on my body, their mouths claiming every inch of me. Three weeks since I'd heard them laugh about how pathetic I was.I hadn't seen them since. Not really.Oh, they walked past me in the halls. Kael with his perfectly pressed suits and

LYRA'S POVI made it to the servant's stairwell before the sobs came.They hit me like a wave, violent and wrenching, tearing out of my chest in gasps that echoed off the stone walls. I collapsed on the steps, arms wrapped around myself, trying to hold the pieces together.They didn't believe me.The words played on repeat in my head. *Tests can be faked. Money. Status. You're lying. Prove it.*I pressed my hand to my stomach, feeling nothing but my own skin, but knowing that beneath it, something precious and fragile was growing.Something they didn't want.How long I sat there, I didn't know. Minutes. Hours. Time felt meaningless.Eventually, the tears dried up. The sobs became quiet hiccups, then nothing at all.In their place came something else.Clarity.I couldn't stay here. Not in a pack that had already decided I was a liar. Not with three alphas who would rather deny their own child than face the consequences of one drunken night.Not where every hallway, every room, every co

LYRA'S POVI should have known better than to go home.But where else could I go? I had no money, no plan, nowhere to sleep. The human city was still miles away, and night was falling fast.So I'd turned toward the one place I'd sworn I'd never return to.My family's house sat on the edge of pack territory, a small, rundown building that had seen better days. The yard was overgrown with weeds, the porch sagging under years of neglect.I stood at the gate, my suitcase heavy in my hand, trying to gather the courage to walk up that path.I hadn't seen my family in two years. Not since I'd moved into the omega housing to get away from them.From him.My father's truck was in the driveway. My stomach turned.Maybe this was a mistake. Maybe I should just keep walking, sleep in the forest, figure something else out.But my feet were screaming, my back ached, and the nausea was getting worse. I needed rest. Just for one night.Then I'd leave and never come back.I pushed open the gate and wal

LYRA'S POVThe human city was a nightmare of noise and chaos.Cars honked constantly. People rushed past without looking at each other. Buildings towered so high they blocked out the sky. The air smelled wrong, exhaust and garbage instead of pine and earth.I stood at the bus station with my single suitcase, completely overwhelmed.I'd spent the last of my money on the bus ticket. I had exactly seventeen dollars in my pocket, no identification, no references, and nowhere to go.A baby growing inside me.And absolutely no plan."You lost, honey?"I turned to find an older woman watching me with kind eyes. She wore a volunteer badge that said "City Outreach Program.""I..." My voice came out small. "I just arrived. I don't know where to go."She studied me for a moment, and I wondered what she saw. A scared girl with a bruise on her face and desperation in her eyes, probably."You running from something?" she asked gently.I nodded, not trusting myself to speak."You got family here?"I

LYRA'S POV By week twenty, I'd completed my GED and enrolled in community college classes. Two classes, both online, both at night after my hospital shifts.It was brutal.Work eight hours. School four hours. Sleep maybe five hours. Repeat.My body ached constantly. My back hurt from being on my feet all day. My ankles swelled. The nausea had finally faded, replaced by heartburn that kept me up at night.But I didn't care.Because for the first time in my life, I was working toward something that was mine.Not the pack's expectations.Not my family's demands.Not the Alphas' rejection.Mine.Dr. Chen checked on me regularly, bringing me food when he noticed I was losing weight despite the growing belly. He introduced me to other doctors, nurses, medical students. He made sure everyone knew I was serious about medicine."You're going to burn out," he warned me one night when he found me studying in the break room at midnight."I can't afford to burn out.""Lyra—""I'm fine." I looked
