Chapter 1

LYRAThe piece of bread landed at my feet with a soft thud. Someone had already taken two bites out of it.Another prisoner wrinkled her nose in disgust before kicking it toward me. "You can have it. Even the dogs wouldn't eat something this stale."Laughter echoed through the prison cell.I stared at the bread for a long moment before slowly bending down to pick it up. The mold had spread across one corner, and it smelled sour, but that no longer mattered.Three years ago, I would have thrown it away but now….Now it was the best meal I had seen all day.I brushed away the dirt with my sleeve and whispered, "Thank you, Moon Goddess."Just as I raised it to my lips, a loud bang echoed through the corridor and every prisoner froze.The laughter vanished.The iron door screeched open, and two guards walked inside. My body reacted before my mind did.I immediately lowered my head, pressed my back against the cold wall, and tightened my grip around the bread.The rule was to never look a g

LYRA Of all the people the Moon Goddess could have sent down that road, she picked him.I stopped walking the moment I saw his face through the windshield.Darian Wolfe.My former best friend. My former lover. The only man I had ever trusted with the parts of myself I kept hidden from the rest of the world.The same man who stood in front of the pack council, looked my father in the eye, and said yes. He believed I was capable of betrayal.His eyes found mine and moved over me slowly.The loose clothes. The leg I was favoring. The brand on my wrist catching the last of the evening light.His expression didn't change once. "Get in," he said.I almost laughed. "I don't need a ride.""It's a long way back." His voice was flat. Decided. "It'll be dark before you make it on foot.""I know these woods.""You knew them three years ago." His eyes dropped briefly to my left leg and came back up. "Get in the car, Lyra."I got in but it's not for him. I pulled the door shut and pressed myself a

Chapter 3

LYRA He still hadn't let go of my arm. Kael stood there staring at my scars like they had personally offended him, his grip loose now, his thumb resting against the worst one without realizing it. "Who did this to you?" His voice came out rough around the edges, like the words had caught on something on the way out. I opened my mouth. "Brother?" The door opened and Selene appeared in the doorway like she had been standing just behind it this whole time. Which, knowing Selene, she probably had. She was wrapped in cream silk, her dark hair loose around her shoulders, her eyes doing that thing where they managed to look both innocent and deeply concerned at the same time. She was annoyingly good at it. I would give her that. I watched Kael's entire demeanor shift in real time. The crack in his expression sealed itself shut. His shoulders dropped from tense to relaxed. The hand holding my wrist loosened and fell away entirely, like he had simply forgotten it was there. He turn

Chapter 4

LYRA Selene was practically vibrating with excitement. She sat on the edge of the sitting room couch with her hands twisted together in her lap, her bottom lip caught between her teeth, her eyes darting to the door every few seconds like the Alpha King might walk through it at any moment. Even her anxiety was pretty. Everything about Selene was pretty. It was honestly exhausting."What if I'm not his mate?" She turned to Kael with those enormous eyes, her voice dropping into that small trembling register she reserved for moments she needed his complete and total attention. "What if I get all the way to that meeting and he looks straight past me and I'm just standing there like an idiot in front of everyone?"Kael made a sound low in his throat and reached over, covering both her twisted hands with one of his. "That's not going to happen.""But what if—""Selene…." He said her name the way you stopped a child from running into traffic. "There is no one in this pack who comes close to
