Cole's POVI was on my way to the office in the heart of the city, where the towering Dravenford Global Center stood, when Martha suddenly stepped into my path.She bowed respectfully before meeting my eyes."I apologize for stopping you, Mr. Dravenford, but I need to speak with you."I glanced at my watch. I had a board meeting waiting for me."What is it, Martha? I'm already running late.""It's about Lyra Ashfield."The moment I heard her name, my wolf stirred.Mate...I clenched my jaw and forced him into silence."What about her?""I know you've already made your decision," Martha began carefully, "but I hope you'll allow me to speak."I gave her a small nod."Last night, I assigned Lyra to wash the dishes after dinner. There were hundreds of plates, bowls, serving trays, glasses, and cooking utensils left from the evening meal. Normally, a job like that would take several servants working together."She paused before continuing."But she did it alone."My wolf became restless."

Cole's POV She never looked back. I stood where I was long after Lyra Ashfield disappeared beyond the estate gates, my eyes fixed on the empty road. The morning breeze stirred the trees surrounding the estate, carrying away the last trace of her scent. My wolf grew restless. Go after her. "No." She had failed before her training had even begun. Saving Leo didn't change that. Rules existed for a reason. If I made exceptions for one person, I would have to make exceptions for everyone. That wasn't how I ran the Dravenford Estate. Yet, despite repeating those words to myself, I couldn't erase the image of Lyra throwing herself in front of the moving truck. There had been no hesitation, no fear, only an unwavering determination to save that child. I frowned. She was different. Every Omega I had ever known was naturally submissive. They kept their heads down, avoided confrontation, and rarely challenged anyone stronger than themselves. But Lyra Ashfield had done the

Lyra's POV "Hey!" I shouted. All three rogues instinctively looked up. The one holding the little girl's wrist barely had time to react before I drove my elbow hard into the side of his jaw. Crunch. His grip immediately loosened. The little girl stumbled backward with a frightened gasp. "Run!" I shouted. For a heartbeat, she simply stared at me. "Go!" She didn't hesitate a second time. She turned and bolted toward the crowded plaza. The other rogue cursed. "Stop her!" He lunged after the little girl, but I stepped directly into his path and slammed the heel of my palm into his nose. A sickening crack echoed through the alley entrance. Blood immediately poured down his face as he staggered backward. The third rogue narrowed his eyes. "Who the hell are you?" I didn't answer. Grandpa had always said talking during a fight only wasted precious seconds. The first rogue recovered faster than I expected. His fist came flying toward my face. I tilted my he

Lyra's POV"He's such a jerk, Lana," I muttered inwardly, unable to tear my eyes away from Cole.I still couldn't believe that, of all the people in Crestmont City, the little girl I had risked my life to save turned out to be Cole's younger sister.What were the chances?And the arrogant Alpha actually believed I had used Caitlin to get close to him.As if I had known who she was, or would ever lower myself to something so pathetic.I could've defended myself and reminded him that I had walked away from his estate without looking back.Instead, I simply held his gaze. The fury burning in my eyes was more than enough to tell him exactly what I thought of him.Lana, on the other hand, was no help at all."He's handsome," she sighed dreamily. "I'd much rather he kissed us than glared at us."My jaw tightened."There is absolutely no chance of that happening," I snapped at her."He's our mate.""And he's an insufferable Alpha.""Still our mate."I rolled my eyes.The mate bond tugged at

Lyra's POVI was still furious with Cole. The man had the nerve to accuse me of having ulterior motives after everything that had happened. Instead of thanking me for saving his sister, he treated me as though I were some criminal trying to take advantage of his family. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became."Arrogant jerk," I muttered under my breath as I kicked a small pebble along the sidewalk. A quiet sigh escaped my lips. Despite everything that had happened, I couldn't bring myself to dislike Caitlin. She was nothing like her brother. She was kind, polite, and genuinely grateful, defending me even while Cole questioned my intentions.A small smile crossed my lips as I remembered her standing up to her own brother. She really was a sweet girl. With just one glance, anyone could tell she had grown up in a wealthy family.I let out a bitter laugh. Fate really had a strange sense of humor. Only hours after being dismissed from the Dravenford Estate, I somehow ende
