“You’re carrying his child.”The whisper didn’t echo. It landed like a blade between Lyra’s ribs, quiet and surgical, and it cut her world open before the ceremony even had a chance to begin.Her body froze mid-breath inside the crowded dressing room. The air smelled of juniper oil, damp wool, and the metallic tang of fear. Around her, other girls adjusted veils and whispered prayers to the Moon Goddess, but all of it faded into a dull roar. Behind her, the older healer’s hand trembled where it hovered above Lyra’s stomach. The woman’s face had drained of color, her knuckles white with the effort of not pulling away too fast. “No…” Lyra breathed. The word was too small for the weight of it. “The Moon Goddess protect you,” the healer whispered, eyes wide and glassy. “If Alpha Kael finds out before the mating ceremony—”A horn shattered the night.Deep, resonant, absolute. It rolled across the pack grounds like a decree, vibrating in Lyra’s bones. The Blood Moon Ceremony had begun.
