1. A Second Chance

LyraDarkness pressed in from all sides. It was suffocating and endless. I blinked hard, once, twice, trying to adjust to the black void that swallowed me whole. Every nerve in my body screamed in pain, a deep ache that radiated from my bones outward. I tried to cry out but no sound came. Not even a whimper.Then came the memories. They were sharp, unforgiving, and merciless.Damon.Selene.The two people I loved the most. My boyfriend and my best friend.Their betrayal pierced deeper than the cold steel they drove into my body, deeper than the acid they forced down my throat. I gagged as the phantom pain surged through me again, tears slipping silently down my cheeks. But none of it, none, hurt as much as knowing they were the ones who had done this to me.And for what? Power.It all began when I ignored every warning and chose Damon as my mate. Blinded by what I thought was love, I didn’t see the ambition lurking behind his smile. He didn’t love me. He needed me. My power. My status

2. The Rejection

LyraI took my time getting ready that morning. Every movement, every choice was deliberate. Today, I would see him and that’s exactly why she was already here.Selene.In the past, I had thought her presence comforting, like a sister waiting to help me pick the right outfit or whisper advice about love. But now I knew better. Her charm had always been a weapon. Her loyalty, an illusion. And I… well, I had walked right into the trap they laid for me.Not this time.I stepped out of the shower, letting the steam swirl around me like mist on a battlefield. Choosing a pair of high-waisted skinny jeans and a form-fitting tee, I made sure everything I wore said one thing: I’m not your puppet anymore.At the vanity, I brushed out my silver hair, the color Selene once convinced me to hide. I applied a soft, bold makeup look, letting the glow of my skin and the icy blue of my eyes speak for themselves. My reflection looked like a stranger to the old Lyra. But to me, now, it looked like power.

3. Taking Back Mine

“What the hell was that about, Lyra?” Selene yelled from behind me as she hastened her steps to catch up with me. I turned around, my anger simmering but I masked it with indifference."What was what about?” I queried back with a frown.“Why did you turn down Damon's proposal? You made him look like a joke in the whole pack." She hissed, glaring at me.“What was I supposed to do when I am not ready to be his girlfriend?" “What do you mean you don't want to be with him? Last night,you said…”"I thought it over and while Damon is a good man, I want to concentrate on other things first and not starting a relationship.” I cut her off, folding my hands on my chest daring her to continue.Selene looked taken aback by my answer, she never expected that from me. She wasn't used to me not doing what she wanted. I had been a puppet.In my past life, I was a fool who got easily manipulated by their sweet words and coercion. Things were different and I was going to undo every single mistake I m

4. I Want You

“I can't believe you are here, Ayana." I squealed, hugging the girl in my arms.“Come on Lyra, you will squish me into a ball if you keep this up. You have been hugging me the whole day." Ayana complained with a pout and I smiled.Ayana was my best friend before Selene came along. A year before my eighteenth birthday which is two years now, she left the pack without much of an explanation.In my past life, Selene mocked me for taking away my best friend's mate. It turned out that Damon was Ayana's true mate. I had already started falling in love with Damon back then and I guessed she left because she couldn't stand her best friend having feelings for her mate. I wondered if he still was in this life too.“I am happy that you are back." I replied sincerely. In my past life, she never came back till my death. “I thought you forgot all about me after getting a new best friend." Ayana joked but something told me she meant it.“No one can replace you in my heart and don't ever think like

5. Shattered Chances

LyraHis body was so close to mine that I could barely think.The heat from him rolled off in waves as he loomed over me, his hands braced on the wall beside my head. The music from the Luna choosing ceremony party was just a faint thrum in the background now, as though the world had narrowed down to this moment, to this one man whose heart I had shattered long ago and now wanted to heal.“What do you want from me, Lyra?” Killian growled, his voice low and sharp like broken glass ready to cut into my soul.I met his eyes, my heart racing. “I want to be your Luna, alpha”He flinched.For a heartbeat, I thought he would say something, anything, but instead, he laughed. Bitter and hollow and then shook his head.“No,” he said, backing away from me, shaking his head. “No, you don’t.”“Killian~~ I…”“Don’t,” he cut in, his voice rising. “Don’t say my name like that. Like it means something to you now. Where was that when you turned your back on me? When you chose ‘him’ over me? When you hu

KillianThe ballroom glowed with warmth and music, filled with laughter and clinking glasses. Wolves danced, drank, and celebrated like it was the last night on earth.And yet, I felt nothing. The night was supposed to be me choosing my mate, my Luna, but how could I when the one person I wanted didn't want me?But what was with her bad playing games with me? Did she think that I couldn't get over her because I loved her?I moved from group to group, my face split into a forced smile. I greeted my guests, nodded at elders, exchanged shallow pleasantries with acquaintances and with every female that brushed too close, every hopeful Luna candidate with perfectly painted lips and sparkly eyes. It all blurred. I wasn't with them.…because I was watching the damn door.Waiting for her. Lyra.Hoping that she had been serious about wanting me.The woman who once turned me away as if I was unworthy, was the same woman who now claimed she wanted to be my Luna. And despite everything, my wolf
