Cole's POVWe attacked again, moving faster as our wooden knives repeatedly collided. Lyra didn't rely on strength. She watched my movements, adapted quickly, and escaped every attempt I made to corner her. She wasn't fighting like an Omega who knew a few defensive moves. She fought like someone who had trained for years to survive, making me wonder who the hell had taught her.I increased the pressure and caught her wrist, twisting it behind her back when she tried to throw me. Instead, she turned directly into me, her palms landing against my chest as my hand settled around her waist.Once again, we were too close. Our faces were only inches apart, and when Lyra's hazel eyes dropped to my lips, I knew I hadn't imagined it. My gaze fell to hers as my fingers tightened around her waist, and for several seconds, we both seemed to forget we were supposed to be fighting."She feels it," my wolf said, sounding unbearably pleased.I didn't answer because, for once, I wasn't sure he was wr

Lyra's POV"Interesting."I turned toward Caitlin.She was staring at me with far too much curiosity in her eyes."What?""Nothing." The way she said it told me it was definitely something."Caitlin."She glanced in the direction her brother had disappeared before looking back at me."Did Cole kiss you?"My eyes widened. "What?""Did my brother kiss you?"Heat immediately rushed to my face. "No!"Caitlin narrowed her eyes. "Then why are you blushing?""I'm not.""You are.""I just finished training."She looked at me for several seconds as though deciding whether she believed me.Apparently, she didn't."But he almost kissed you, didn't he?"My embarrassment only grew."No."That answer came far too quickly.Caitlin's eyebrows rose.I crossed my arms. "Why are you asking me this?""Because I saw you."My stomach dropped. "How long were you standing there?""Long enough."Wonderful."Whatever you think you saw, nothing happened," I quickly defended myself. "Your brother and I were trai

Lyra's POVAfter everything that happened on the training ground that morning, I had hoped spending time with Caitlin would stop me from thinking about Cole.It didn't.Every time my mind became quiet, I remembered being beneath him, the weight of his body against mine and the way his eyes had lowered to my lips. Then I remembered Evelyn, and that usually helped."Lyra."I blinked and looked at Caitlin, who was sitting on the floor of her bedroom. "What?""You weren't listening to me.""I was.""What did I say?"I opened my mouth but quickly realized I had absolutely no idea. Caitlin crossed her arms and gave me a knowing look."See?""Fine. Maybe I was distracted.""Thinking about my brother?""No."She smiled, making me narrow my eyes at her. "Don't start again.""I didn't say anything.""You didn't have to."Her smile widened before she turned toward the large box in front of her.We had been spending most of the morning together after training. Caitlin didn't have lessons until la

Cole's POVThe moment I arrived at the ballet studio, the first person I looked for was Lyra.That annoyed me. I was here to watch Caitlin dance and make sure Lyra was doing her job as my sister's personal maid. At least, those were the excuses I kept giving myself.The truth was simpler.I wanted to see Lyra.Ever since our sparring match that morning, she had occupied my thoughts more than I wanted to admit. I pushed the memory aside. It had only been a sparring match, nothing more, no matter what my wolf thought.I had work piled up in my office and documents waiting for my signature, yet I had still come here. I was running out of excuses for why.When I reached the studio, I saw Caitlin dancing happily with her instructor. But when I searched the hallway, Lyra was nowhere in sight.Where the hell was she?I had specifically told her to watch Caitlin. I should have been angry that she had ignored my instructions, but instead, I was worried about where she was, which irritated me e

Cole's POVI barely heard what Roman Woodfire was saying.Normally, anything involving the Woodfires, one of the Five Great Alpha Bloodlines, would have my full attention. But today, my eyes kept drifting toward the empty seat beside Caitlin.Lyra should have been sitting there.I tightened my grip around my glass. I had been trying not to think about Lyra since she walked away, but the more I tried, the more irritated I became with myself.I had told her to wait in the car as though she were nothing more than an employee. Technically, she was Caitlin's personal maid, and there was no reason she needed to join us for lunch.So why the hell did I feel guilty?As Roman continued speaking, something suddenly occurred to me.Damn it. Lyra couldn't get inside. How could I be so stupid?"Excuse me," I said abruptly.Roman stopped speaking. "Everything all right?""Yes. I just remembered something."I stood before anyone could ask another question and headed outside. I looked toward the park
