51 Someone Worth Loving 2

Nyra’s POVI felt myself shrink instinctively, my chest tightening, my fingers trembling as Ronan reached for my hand.I clung to him like he was the only steady thing on the street.Then a voice cut through the murmur.“Traitor.”It was said with disgust, loud enough to be heard.My stomach dropped.Another voice followed, sharp and accusing.“Siding with an outsider.”My face went hot. My eyes stung. My entire body went rigid.Ronan didn’t move at first.He simply stopped walking.And the stillness that rolled off him was so sudden, so heavy, that it felt like the air itself had been commanded to freeze.Slowly, he turned.His gaze swept over the people watching, and when he spoke, his voice didn’t need to be loud to be terrifying.It carried.It filled the street like thunder filling the sky.“Anyone who dares say a word,” he said calmly, “or look in Nyra’s direction with disdain… will have me to contend with.”The entire place went still.I felt it, the fear rippling through the c

52 Under the Full Moon

Nyra’s POVThe park was quieter than I expected.Not empty, just calm, like the town finally loosened its grip when the night came. The trees stood tall, their leaves whispering softly in the breeze, and the lamps along the pathway cast gentle circles of light that didn’t reach far enough to steal the darkness.Ronan led me deeper into the grass where it felt private, where the world couldn’t lean in and listen.He spread the takeout bag beside us and sat down first, then patted the spot next to him like it was my rightful place.I lowered myself carefully, smoothing my skirt, still half expecting someone to come and remind me I didn’t belong here. But the grass was cool and forgiving beneath my fingers, and the air smelled like earth and night flowers.Above us, the moon hung full and bright, so close it almost looked touchable.Ronan reached for my hand.His fingers slid through mine as if it was instinct, as if the shape of my hand had already been carved into his. His thumb brushe

53 Under the Full Moon 2

Nyra’s POVIt got late.The park lights dimmed, and the air grew cooler. Ronan stood first, then pulled me up gently, his hand never leaving mine.The drive back was quiet, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. It felt like we were still holding the moon between us, like the night had stitched us together with something invisible.When we arrived at the cabin, Ronan didn’t immediately get out.The car idled softly, and the porch light glowed faintly ahead, like a small star.He turned toward me, and his gaze softened.“I wish I didn’t have to part from you,” he admitted quietly. “I want more time. I want to know you.”My heart fluttered.But he didn’t lean into urgency. He didn’t demand. He didn’t push.“I’m willing to take it slow,” he said, voice steady. “I’ll move at your pace. I won’t rush you.”The words made my chest ache again, in that tender, dangerous way.Because everything about him, his dominance, his power, the way his wolf seemed to hum beneath his skin, suggested he could take w

54 The Moon Doesn’t Care Who You Love

Keiran’s POVI saw them before I even stepped inside.Through the glass.Through the warm, golden light spilling out onto the street like a promise.Nyra was sitting by the window.Not in the corner. Not hidden. Not half-turned away like she was bracing for someone to shame her. She was right there where anyone could see her. Where the world could look. She looked beautiful. She had dressed up for him. Not me. Him.And Ronan was across from her, leaning in, smiling like he had all the time in the world.Nyra laughed.Not the small, careful sound she used when she was trying to survive.A real laugh.It hit me in the chest so hard I forgot how to breathe.My feet slowed as if my body had turned into stone. My stomach dropped and twisted and then went hollow, like hunger had been punched out of me. One moment I’d been walking towards the restaurant thinking about food, trying to be normal, trying to pretend the day hadn’t ended with Nyra screaming at me and my pride bleeding all over he

55 The Moon Doesn’t Care Who You Love 2

Keiran’s POVThe trees swallowed me quickly.The air changed as soon as I crossed the line where civilisation stopped pretending it was civil. The woods were colder, darker, honest in a way the pack wasn’t. The moonlight filtered through the branches in broken pieces like scattered silver.My wolf was already clawing at my skin.I didn’t fight it.I shifted.Bone and heat and pain tore through me as I dropped onto four legs, the world snapping into sharper scent and sharper sound. The earth smelled alive. The night tasted like damp bark and old leaves and distant prey.But none of it mattered.Because the bond was still there.The bond didn’t loosen just because I was in wolf form.If anything, it got worse.It burned.It yanked.It hurt like a wound being reopened every time Nyra’s laughter replayed in my mind.I ran.Fast.Hard.Branches whipped at my fur. The ground blurred beneath me. I pushed and pushed until my muscles screamed and my lungs burned, trying to outrun the feeling.B

56 Find Your Centre

Nyra’s POVThe cabin felt different at night. Not quieter, Vandwood was always quiet out here, always distant enough that the pack’s laughter didn’t carry, but closer, like the walls leaned in when the sun went down. Like the dark made everything you tried to ignore crawl back onto your lap.I should have been asleep. I should have let my body rest after the day I’d had, after Keiran on his knees in front of me, after the way my chest had cracked open and poured four years of waiting onto the floor. But my mother hadn’t come home to rest. She came home to work. And the moment the door shut behind her, she moved with that same determined focus she wore when she was mixing remedies for wounds and fever, calm hands, sharp eyes, no room for excuses.“The training starts tonight.”So here I was. Barefoot in the sitting space, the rug rolled back, the floor cold under my feet. The lantern on the table burned low. Shadows flickered across the walls like they were alive. The air smelled of her

57 Follow the Thread

Nyra’s POV“The thread?” I repeated.“You don’t pull a rope out of the dark by wishing,” she said. “You find the smallest piece, and you follow it.”My mother reached for the power-sensing crystal.She didn’t hand it to me immediately. She held it between us, palms steady, eyes focused.“This crystal doesn’t give you power,” she said. “It reflects it. It senses what you bring near it, like a mirror for the part of you you’ve never learned to touch.”The crystal caught the lantern light and scattered it in tiny prisms across the ceiling.It looked innocent.But my skin prickled.My mother finally placed it in my hands.It was heavier than I expected, cool and smooth. The weight of it made my wrists tense.“Don’t grip it like a weapon,” she murmured. “Hold it like you would hold a heartbeat.”I adjusted my hands, easing my fingers until the crystal rested in my palms instead of being crushed by them.“Now,” she said, “close your eyes again.”I obeyed.The crystal’s coolness seeped into

58 I Hate the Word Soon

Nyra’s POVThe gold stayed in the crystal for a heartbeat too long.Long enough to prove it wasn’t a trick of lantern light.Long enough to make my skin prickle and my lungs forget what to do with air.My arms were still raised like I was about to throw it, frozen mid-motion, breath caught painfully in my throat. The crystal burned warm in my palms, and the glow inside it pulsed, soft, molten, alive, like it had been sleeping and I had finally screamed loud enough to wake it.I stared at it, stunned.My mind couldn’t hold the shape of what I was seeing.Golden light.In my hands.Because of me.“What…?” My voice came out thin, almost childlike. “What does that mean?”My mother moved so fast she was suddenly in front of me.Her eyes were bright in a way I hadn’t seen in years, wide, almost disbelieving, like joy had hit her too hard to fit in her body.She took the crystal from my hands carefully, reverently, like it was sacred.The moment it left my palms, I felt colder.Empty.But th

59 The Golden Thing Inside Me

Nyra’s POVI got back to duty late.Not because I’d been careless.Because the night had swallowed me whole.Because my mother’s voice had shattered the ground beneath my life and I’d spent hours trying to piece myself back together, golden light still pulsing behind my eyes, phantom wolf echoing in my chest like a curse and a miracle at once.Because I had slept like someone who’d been running.And when I finally woke, the sun was already too high and Vandwood was already ready to punish me for it.The omega in charge of the workers was waiting in the corridor with her arms folded and her mouth twisted into satisfaction.“You’re late,” she said, loud enough for the other servants to hear.I didn’t argue. I didn’t beg. I simply lowered my head and murmured an apology because I’d learned long ago that apologies weren’t for forgiveness here. They were for survival.She didn’t care.“You won’t get breakfast,” she announced.My stomach tightened.I hadn’t eaten since yesterday evening, si

60 He Can Do Whatever He Damn Pleases

Nyra’s POVFor a heartbeat, the head maid just stared at me.Her fist hovered in the air like she couldn’t decide whether to swing again or retreat. The other maids tightened their grip on my arms, confused, unsettled, because they had felt me move. They had felt my body twist in a way it shouldn’t have been able to twist while restrained.Their eyes flicked between each other.A fluke, I could almost hear them thinking.A lucky dodge.Nothing more.I was still trying to gather my strength to wrench free, still struggling to breathe through the sting in my ribs, when a sound cut through the garden like a blade.A growl.Low.Dangerous.The kind of growl that didn’t threaten. It promised.The maids froze instantly.Their hands loosened on my arms so fast it felt like my skin finally got air again. The servants watching stepped back as if the ground had turned to fire beneath their feet.They all turned toward the direction of the sound.I didn’t need to guess.My body knew him the way
