All Chapters of The Alpha’s forgotten daughter : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Lyra’s POVHis fingers closed around my throat in one swift, violent movement, and the peaceful evening shattered around us.A gust of wind tore through the garden as if summoned by his fury. Dark clouds rolled across the sky in answer to his rage, and the trees bent and groaned under an unseen pressure. Flowers that had been blooming so serenely only moments before were ripped from their stems and flung into the churning air. Behind us, the lake thrashed with restless waves, and the horse Rowan had brought reared in terror before breaking free of its tether and galloping into the darkness.Prince Luca’s silver eyes darkened slowly, glowing now with an eerie fusion of silver and midnight blue. The veins along his neck rose to the surface as his Lycan aura burst free, uncontrolled and suffocating. His presence alone pressed down on me like a weight, making it hard to draw breath.“I was worried,” he growled, the words forced through clenched teeth. “How many times have I told you to ke

Lyra’s POVThe night breeze drifted gently through my half-open window, cool against my skin as I pulled the blanket closer around my body, still turning over everything that had happened in the garden.Prince Luca’s furious expression. Rowan lying motionless on the ground. The strange, aching possessiveness in the prince’s voice as he’d told me, again and again, that I belonged to him.None of it made sense.Why did he always become so consumed with rage whenever another man came close to me? He kept insisting I was nothing more than his personal slave, and yetsometimes, in the way his voice cracked, in the way his hands trembled even as they hurt me his actions felt nothing like the way a master treated a servant. There was something underneath his fury that I couldn’t name, something that frightened me more than the anger itself.I sighed and turned onto my side, staring into the darkness.“Nyra,” I called softly. “Are you awake?”Silence answered me.“You’ve been ignoring me a lot

Lyra’s POVThe morning sun filtered through the long academy windows, painting golden streaks across the polished floors. Although my body still ached from Prince Luca’s punishment the previous evening, I forced myself out of bed. Today was another school day, and no matter how much pain lingered beneath my skin, I couldn’t afford to miss another class.Nyra remained unusually quiet inside my mind. She hadn’t spoken since yesterday, and I wondered, not for the first time, if she wanted me to solve my own problems for once.After dressing in my academy uniform, I quietly left Silvermoon Mansion and made my way toward the academy grounds. Students filled the pathways, some greeting one another excitedly, others huddled together discussing yesterday’s examination. But the moment I stepped into the main courtyard, several eyes turned toward me.They’re looking again, I thought.Nyra remained silent.Some students offered polite smiles. Others leaned close to whisper among themselves.“The

Lyra’s POVThe Alvaks were gone. But they left a big room of suspense to the entire people. Especially me and my wolf Nyra is silent.Why does anything? And and dangerous got to do with always me. Can't the Alvaks just pass without involving me in one clingy funny story or the other. The silence they left behind wasn’t.It clung to the courtyard like smoke that refused to clear — students huddled in tight knots, whispering, stealing glances at me before snapping their eyes away the moment I looked back.No one understood why the leader of the Alvaks had knelt before me.I didn’t understand it either.I gripped the strap of my bag and forced my feet toward class, each step somehow heavier than the last. Part of me wished the morning had never happened at all that I was still the invisible wolfless girl nobody bothered to look at twice.Being seen, I was learning, was far more dangerous than being ignored.“Lyra!”I turned. Hikky came jogging over, Ivy right behind her, both of them

Lyra’s POVThe sound of approaching footsteps grew louder, echoing off the shelves until it felt like the library itself was closing in around me.My heart pounded wildly against my chest.Without thinking, I quickly shut the forbidden book and slid it back beneath the stack of dusty volumes beside me, my fingers trembling as I straightened the spines. I brushed imaginary dust from my gown and forced myself to breathe normally, though my lungs refused to cooperate.Whoever was coming must not find me here.The footsteps stopped just beyond the shelf. A familiar voice broke the silence.“Lyra?”I turned sharply, my whole body tensing.It is Rowan.Relief washed over me so fast it nearly buckled my knees.“Oh…” I said.It’s only you.” He frowned, studying my face a moment too long. “You look frightened.”he added.“I’ve been looking everywhere for you,” he said, stepping closer. “We’re supposed to return to class.”“I lost track of time,” I replied quickly, forcing a small smile.His eye
