All Chapters of Her Three Alphas: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Vaelin's POV"Fuck!" I growled again, slamming my fist into the wall as I fought to keep my rage in check.My eyes widened with a rush of shock and pain the moment Lyra stepped into the room wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around her chest, water still trailing down her skin.Her hair hung wet and damp, and there was something about the way she looked right then that completely threw me off."Is something wrong? I heard you," she said, studying me carefully, but I couldn't find the words to answer. She let out a small sigh, figuring I was fine, and started to turn away. But I moved fast, planting my feet shoulder-width apart to block her path, arms folded tightly across my chest. My face twisted with a storm of feelings hurt, fury, and betrayal.My gaze locked onto hers, searching, almost demanding she explain whatever I thought she'd done wrong. My brows knit together, lips pressed into a hard line, giving me a cold, accusing stare.Lyra picked up on the tension immediately and s

  Lyra's POV I bit the inside of my lip, unsure how to respond to his suggestion. A date? This would be our second one. I could still picture the last date so clearly when he took me deep into the forest to that breathtaking waterfall. That day stood out in my memory; every moment felt alive, from the thrill of dashing through the dense trees without a care, with him right there beside me. He had this bright, cheerful energy and viewed the world through a lens of pure color and wonder. Everything seemed rainbow-bright and full of beauty to him. I could sense he'd already tasted more than his share of life's hardships, yet he still chose to stay this open and joyful. "What do you say?" he asked, his expression shifting to confusion and a touch of worry. Was he actually nervous I'd say no? A small laugh escaped me at the sound of his voice. For some reason, I felt this playful urge to tease him, so I stay

Lyra's POVWe stepped into the room but froze right at the doorway when I realized someone was already there. It was Thorian, arms crossed tightly over his chest, a deep scowl carved across his face. The air felt thick with tension as Thorian’s narrowed eyes locked onto Vaelin.“Where have you been?” Thorian demanded, his voice low and commanding. “I told you to keep an eye on her, not drag her off wandering through the woods!”Vaelin moved forward a step, his posture defensive. “That’s not what happened. I was just trying to help her clear her head. We didn’t do anything strenuous.”Thorian cut him off sharply. “You know she’s still recovering! And Soren said she needs rest and relaxation, not some romantic little adventure in the forest!”A wave of embarrassment and irritation rushed through me. I hated being talked about like I was a child who couldn’t make her own choices. “Thorian, please stop,” I said firmly, straightening my spine. “I can take care of myself. And Vaelin was onl

Lyra's POV"Look, there's nothing to worry about. Whatever it was that you heard, I'll look into it further, and if we find anything, I'll let you know," he said, giving my shoulder a gentle pat before turning to leave."Try to get some more rest," Vaelin added before he followed, leaving the room.Finally alone, I tried to make sense of their reactions and could tell there was more to it than they'd let on.Thorian had looked startled, which suggested this was the first time anything like this had happened. But why wouldn't they say more? Was I in danger? Was the Pack safe?Thinking about it now, I realized I was only just beginning to know them. This was my first time in the Obsidian Pack, and I knew next to nothing about its history or the threats it might face. Could there be something more mysterious going on here?"Nyssa, do you have any idea what that sound could have been?" I couldn't hold back anymore, so I asked. Something was involved but what?"The Pack is safe, Lyra. They

Lyra's POVMy eyes widened with fierce determination as I seized Thorian’s arm, my voice sharp and urgent. “Let me come with you! I can help!”Thorian’s face hardened, his jaw locking tight. “No, Lyra. This isn’t the place for you. You’re not trained for combat.”“But I can…”“No, Lyra!” Thorian’s voice rose, his fingers tightening around my arm. “You stay here, where it’s safe. I won’t risk losing you.”My shoulders slumped, but I refused to back down. “I want to help! I can…”Thorian’s gaze turned cold as steel, his tone flat and final. “Follow my orders, Lyra. Stay put. That’s an order.”He left no room for argument this time. Still, I couldn’t shake the twisting knot of dread in my stomach. I couldn’t just stand by and watch him march into battle while I remained completely useless. I was exhausted from feeling powerless, and just once, I wanted to make a real difference.Fear crept in, icy and relentless, sinking deep into my bones. All I wanted was to stand by his side, to prote
