His Girlfriend

Lyra’s POVCaitlin held the colored pencils I had brought from Crestmont City as though they were precious. She placed them beside her butterfly drawing and smiled brightly.“Thank you, Lyra. I’ve never had this many colors before.”“You deserve every color,” I told her. “Your butterflies need more than one shade of blue.”As she added purple to one wing, my thoughts drifted back to Cole finding me outside his study earlier. I had only wanted to search for files about the Dravenfords and my parents’ deaths, but he had invited me inside and calmly explained the Ashwood territory from a pack history book.He had watched me carefully while I asked questions, yet he had not accused me of lying or demanded to know why I was outside his locked study. I still could not decide whether I had imagined his suspicion or whether Cole was simply good at hiding what he thought.“Lyra?”Caitlin’s voice pulled me back to the garden, and I looked at her. “Yes?”“You’re holding the purple pencil upside

The Invitation

Lyra’s POVCole did not release my hand as he walked me toward the mansion. The garden lights glowed softly around us, and even though anyone could have looked out a window and seen us together, he did not seem to care. He held my hand openly, as though making me his girlfriend had changed something important, and maybe it had.Before we reached the entrance, Cole stopped and turned toward me. “If you want to know anything, you can ask me, Lyra.”His expression was serious, without the teasing smile he had worn only moments earlier. I nodded, though guilt tightened inside my chest. There were so many things I wanted to ask him about the Ashwood territory, the attack that destroyed my pack, and whether his family knew more than they had ever admitted, but there were even more things I could not tell him.“Okay,” I said quietly.Cole studied my face as though he knew I had not said everything on my mind, then lifted my hand and pressed a kiss against my knuckles. “Good.”The following w

The Hunting Festival

Lyra’s POVThe annual hunting festival should have made me excited, but as I stood near the entrance of Dravenford Estate, fear twisted inside my chest.Every Dravenford joining the hunt would shift today, giving me the chance to discover whether the black wolf who murdered my parents was one of them.What would I do if I saw that midnight-black fur? Could I keep calling Cole my boyfriend if his family had destroyed mine? Worse, what if Cole himself was somehow connected to my parents’ deaths?Grandfather would be proud of me. His plan had worked. I had entered the estate to get close to the Dravenfords, and now I was Cole’s girlfriend. By inviting me to the festival, Cole had unknowingly given me exactly the opportunity Grandfather wanted: the chance to see his family in their wolf forms and finally learn if one of them was my parents’ murderer.Guilt tightened my chest. Cole thought he had brought his girlfriend to share an important pack tradition, and part of me truly wanted to be

The Silver Wolf

Cole’s POVThe annual hunting festival was one of the few traditions I looked forward to every year. The moment I shifted and my paws hit the forest floor, everything else disappeared. There were no meetings, pack disputes, or responsibilities, only the cold air rushing through my fur, the earth beneath my paws, and the familiar scents of Dravenford territory surrounding me.Usually, winning was the only thing on my mind, but this year, I kept thinking about Lyra. I had left her at camp with Caitlin, my parents, and enough pack members to keep them safe. She had seemed nervous while watching my family shift, but I assumed it was because she had never attended a hunting festival before.Part of me wanted her to understand this side of my life, even if she could never shift and run beside me. My wolf had accepted that long ago. Lyra was ours, and whether she had a wolf or not had never mattered to him.A russet-brown blur slammed into my shoulder, knocking me out of my thoughts, and I

Couldn’t Be

Cole’s POVThe trees opened into a small clearing, and the silver wolf stopped near the opposite side. For the first time, I saw her completely.She was smaller than me but powerfully built, her silver coat gleaming beneath the afternoon sunlight. Every muscle in her body was tense as she stared at the trees ahead, but the moment I stepped into the clearing, her head snapped toward me.Our eyes met, and the presence of my wolf inside my mind went strangely quiet. The silver wolf froze too, and for several seconds, neither of us moved.Something about the way she looked at me unsettled me. I had never seen this wolf before, yet the longer I stared at her, the stronger the strange feeling became.“Who are you?” I asked through the link.Her ears flattened. “Go back to the festival.”I stared at her because she knew about the festival. “Answer my question.”“I don’t have time for this.”She turned away, but I moved farther into the clearing. “You’re on Dravenford territory. You make time

Something Familiar

Lyra’s POVI couldn’t decide which terrified me more, losing the black wolf again or having Cole catch me.The black wolf’s scent still lingered faintly in the air, and every instinct demanded that I follow it. After years of searching, I had finally seen the wolf with one crimson eye and one violet eye again. I couldn’t let him disappear, but Cole was close behind me, refusing to give up the chase.“Silver wolf, stop!” his voice entered the link.I pushed myself faster. “Go back, Alpha.”Grandfather had taught me how to disguise my scent and alter my voice through a mind link long before I came to Dravenford Estate. Hiding my ability to shift would be useless if another wolf could recognize Lyra’s scent beneath my silver fur, so I had trained until maintaining the disguise became almost instinctive.What frightened me was the one thing his technique might not be able to hide.The mate bond.I already knew Cole was my mate, but he had only ever known me as Lyra, the human girl who cou

An Impossible Thought

Cole's POVI should have been thinking about the silver wolf, but the moment I stepped into the clearing, I searched for Lyra.My gaze swept across the camp. My parents were near the fire, several pack members had already returned from the hunt, and Caitlin was sitting exactly where I had left her. Then I saw Lyra beside her with a cup in her hands, and relief hit me so quickly that I stopped walking.For the past several minutes, one impossible thought had followed me through the forest.What if the silver wolf was Lyra?It made no sense. Lyra had told me she couldn't shift, and the wolf's scent and voice were nothing like hers. I had no reason to connect them except for the feeling that had struck me when our eyes met.She had argued with me as though she already knew exactly how irritating I could be, ignored every order I gave her, and made me abandon the hunt just to follow her deeper into the forest.Then she had called me Cole.Not Alpha Cole or Alpha. Just my name, spoken so n

Back To The Clearing

Lyra’s POVBy Saturday afternoon, I had spent almost an hour wondering where Cole was taking me.He had picked me up after lunch and refused to tell me anything beyond the fact that we were going somewhere together. Now I sat beside him while he drove along a narrow road surrounded by trees.“Are you ever going to tell me where we’re going?”“No.”“That isn’t suspicious at all.”Cole smiled. “You’ll find out soon.”A few minutes later, I recognized the road. I had traveled this exact route only a week ago when I came here with Cole and his family for the hunting festival.“We’re going back to the festival clearing.”“You remembered.”“Of course. Why are we going back?”“You’ll see.”The familiar surroundings brought back memories of the festival and the guilt I had carried since then. Cole had lost the competition for the first time in years because he had abandoned the course to follow me through the forest.“You know, I still feel bad about the hunting festival.”He glanced at me. “

He Knew My Real Name

Lyra’s POV“She knew my name.”Cole’s words stayed with me as we packed the picnic and walked back to the car. I tried to act normally, but one detail from our conversation mattered more than everything else.Cole had seen the black wolf, and he hadn’t recognized him.If the wolf belonged to the Dravenford pack, Cole should have known him. He was the Alpha, and a black wolf with one crimson eye and one violet eye wasn’t exactly easy to forget. I had come to Dravenford Estate because Grandfather’s investigation suggested the wolf responsible for my parents’ deaths was connected to this family, but I had watched every Dravenford shift during the hunting festival. None of them had been the wolf I remembered.Cole’s words should have convinced me that we had been wrong about his family, yet one possibility kept me cautious. What if they were playing a trick on me? If Cole had somehow discovered that I wasn’t really Lyra Ashfield, he could be waiting for me to panic and reveal why I had c

The Ashwood Heir

Lyra’s POVEveryone at Dravenford Estate knew me as Lyra Ashfield, but the wolf who had killed my parents knew my real name.For several seconds, I could only stare at him while his jaws remained dangerously close to Freya’s throat.“How do you know that name?”The black wolf’s mismatched eyes never left mine. “Because I knew your family.”Anger surged through me. “You killed my family.”“Yes. Because I was ordered to.”The admission hit harder than a denial would have. Freya’s eyes widened beneath him, and every instinct demanded that I attack, but I forced myself to remain still. One wrong move could cost my best friend her life.“Who ordered you?”“You already know the answer. You simply stopped believing it.”My stomach tightened. “The Dravenfords?”His silence was enough.“Lyra, don’t listen to him,” Freya warned through the link.The black wolf glanced down at her. “You should worry about your own throat.”“Touch her again and I’ll kill you.”His attention returned to me. “You c
