Seven Years of Nothing

~Lyra's POV~“Lyra, as of today, you cease to be the Luna of the Nightshade Pack. Alpha Ivan insists you sign these divorce papers tonight. It’s time to stop clinging to a dream that was never meant to be.”The words were harsh. Seven years of marriage, seven years of waiting, and still, I was nothing more than an outsider.I had defied my parents and abandoned my birth pack, all to be with Ivan. We were fated mates, destined by the Moon Goddess herself.But fate had been cruel.Ivan had never officially bestowed upon me the title ‘Luna,’ despite my years by his side. Without a wolf of my own, I was seen as weak, an embarrassment to the pack.Even now, I was nothing more than a hollow shell in their eyes, a Luna without a wolf, a fated mate without power. And now, everything was being stripped from me entirely.‘I never imagined that my bloodwritten plea for one more meeting wouldn’t sway Ivan,’ I thought bitterly. The desperation in that plea, the hope that it might change his mind,

The Wrong Morning

~Lyra's POV~The first thing I notice is the smell.Pancakes. Warm butter. A faint hint of cinnamon drifting through the air like the house itself is trying to comfort me.I lie still for a long moment, staring up at the ceiling. The ceiling is white with a thin crack running diagonally from the light fixture toward the window, a crack I memorized all my life, counting it like a familiar scar.This ceiling.This room.I sit up slowly and my body feels… fine. No bruises. No deep bone-cold ache. No dried blood on my palms. I look at my hands, turning them over once, twice, three times. The skin is smooth, unbroken. Younger than I remember it being.The door swings open and Zara walks in.She is grinning, bright and easy, her locs pulled up in a messy bun with a pen stuck through them, wearing one of her ridiculous oversized hoodies that reads WORLD'S OKAYEST PERSON across the chest in cracked iron-on letters.Alive. Completely, fully, annoyingly alive."Finally!" She throws her arms out

What fate Keeps

~Lyra's POV~The eastern market town was everything I needed it to be.Busy, loud, full of colour and noise and the smell of roasting groundnuts and fresh fabric bolts piled in crooked towers outside the shop fronts. Exactly the kind of place that makes it hard to think about anything serious for too long.Zara loved it immediately."Okay," she said, spinning in a slow circle in the middle of the main street with her arms out. "I will admit. This is better than the other one.""I told you.""You did tell me." She grabbed my arm and steered us toward the nearest fabric stall. "Don't let it go to your head."We spent two hours moving from stall to stall. She tried on three different perfume samples and made me smell each one, holding her wrist under my nose with the focused seriousness of someone making a medical decision. She argued cheerfully with a seller over a bolt of deep green fabric, won, and then bought two extra metres she didn't originally plan for. She told me about a boy fr

First Fire

~Lyra's POV~I was in the forest before the sun came up.The trail was familiar in the way only childhood things are, not something you think about, just something your feet remember. The roots, the low branch at the third turn, the place where the path narrows and the trees crowd in close enough to brush both shoulders. I had walked this so many times as a girl that my body found it in the dark without trying.I hadn't done it in years. Ivan's pack had cured me of it efficiently. Wolfless omegas don't belong in the trees at sunrise. That was the unspoken rule. You learn it fast enough when nobody says it directly but everyone acts accordingly.I had forgotten, somewhere in those seven years, that this used to be mine.I started walking. Then I ran.Not the way I used to run in my previous life, not desperate, not driven by anything chasing me. Just running because I had legs and lungs and a body that was young again and didn't hurt and above all, I wanted to get my mind off what happ

Declination

~Lyra's POV~I sit alone in my room, the afternoon light thin and pale against the curtains. The proposal repeating itself in my head, pages I once flipped through without really seeing.I remember the day we merged the companies. I remember trusting him. The way I trusted everything about Ivan back then. My signature had been quick, confident, sealed with the kind of love that never thought it needed to read the fine print.Now the words stare back at me, cold and precise._Clause 7.2: In the event of casualty or death of either party, the surviving partner shall assume full control of the company and all properties held under its name, including access to previously designated assets and holdings.I thought it was just an agreement. A safeguard. A formality between two people building something together. I didn’t read this part in my previous life. Why would I? I loved him. I believed the future we planned was the one we would actually live into.Trust made me blind. Love made me ca

The Alpha Ball

~Lyra's POV~I did not want to go.I said this clearly, twice, and both times my parents listened politely and then continued preparing as if I had said something mildly interesting that didn't require a response. Mama had already set out a dress by Tuesday. Papa had already confirmed our attendance by Wednesday. By Thursday I understood that my opinion on the matter had been noted and categorised as irrelevant."It's one evening," Mama said, fastening the clasp at the back of my neck Friday morning, her fingers quick and certain. "You've been home for weeks. People are beginning to wonder.""Let them wonder.""Lyra.""I'm serious, Mama. Political gatherings full of Alphas competing over table placement is not what I need right now.""It's what the family needs," she said simply. "And you know it."I looked at myself in the mirror. The dress was deep blue, simple, well-cut. I looked like myself, which was more than I could say for most of the years I had spent dressing to disappear in

Morning After The Ball

~Lyra's POV~I didn't sleep well.I lay in the dark for most of the night with the ceiling above me and the events of the ball replaying in my head on a loop I couldn't shut off. Xavier's voice. The quiet certainty of it. The way he stood between me and Ivan without hesitating, without posturing, without making it a performance. He hadn't looked at the room when he made that declaration. He hadn't looked at Ivan. He'd looked at me, just briefly, to make sure I was steady. And then he'd turned back to Ivan like the rest of it was already handled.And Ivan's face right after, that fast cycle of shock and fury, and underneath both of those things, something I didn't expect. Something that looked almost like loss.I turned over and told myself to stop analyzing it. I had more important things to focus on than reading the expression on the face of a man who'd spent years making sure I didn't matter to him.I came downstairs at eight. Mama was already at the table, both hands around her tea

Training Lessons

~Lyra's POV~Dane didn't believe in warm-ups the way most trainers did.His version of a warm-up was thirty minutes of footwork drills that left your calves burning and your ankles questioning every decision you'd ever made. Then, if he felt generous, he'd let you catch your breath for sixty seconds before the real work started.I had been at it for a week now. I was not yet at the point where I stopped hating the first thirty minutes."You're dropping your left shoulder," he said, circling me at an unhurried pace, hands clasped behind his back. "Every time you set your feet, left shoulder drops. It's a tell.""I know.""Then fix it.""I'm trying.""Trying is what you do when you're not sure you can. Fix it."I reset my stance. Squared both shoulders. He came at me from the right, a fast controlled strike aimed at my ribs, and I blocked it, stepped left, kept my shoulder up. He came again. I blocked again. He feinted high, went low, and I caught it on my forearm instead of my side, w

The Forged Letter

~Lyra's POV~Papa wasn’t at breakfast. That wasn’t weird by itself. He had early meetings sometimes. Border reports. Pack stuff that couldn’t wait. But when I came down, Mr. Denton told me Papa wanted to see me in his study after I ate. He said it in a way that made me lose my appetite. So I didn’t eat. --- The letter was already open on the desk when I walked in. Papa stood by the window, not behind his desk. That told me everything before he said a word. He turned when I shut the door. Looked at me. Then he walked to the desk and slid the letter toward me. He didn’t speak. I picked it up and read. It was to the Alpha of the Crestmoor Pack. Very formal. It said there was good info that Nightshade planned to move their patrols east. Into land that Crestmoor and two other small packs shared. It sounded like a warning from someone close to Nightshade. It was signed with my name. “Did you write this?” Papa asked. I kept reading for a few seconds. Not because I had to. I

Tea and Territory

~Lyra's POV~I heard him before I saw him.Not footsteps exactly. Just a shift in the air at the yard's edge, the particular stillness that happens when someone stops moving and starts watching. I'd been doing solo drills for forty minutes, working the left shoulder correction Dane had been hammering into me all week, and I was deep enough in the sequence that I almost let the awareness pass.I didn't stop. I finished the full set. Both sides, full extension, the footwork clean and deliberate. When the last move landed and I straightened, I turned toward the edge of the yard.Xavier was standing with one shoulder against the post, arms loose at his sides, watching me with the focused, neutral attention of someone who had been doing this long enough that it wasn't a compliment, it was just an assessment."You're telegraphing your left side," he said.I picked up my water from the low wall. "Everyone says that.""Then everyone has been too polite to show you why it matters."I looked at
