Chapter 31: The wall.

Asher POVI knew that scent.I knew it the way I knew my own heartbeat. My body reacted the way it did, like three years ago, when the Moon Goddess decided a quiet Omega with grey eyes was the other half of my soul.It was Lyra’s scent. It was faint, almost fleeting and gone before it arrived, but unmistakably hers. It was Rain and flower and something soft beneath both, something that had lived in my sheets, my office, the corridors of my pack for three years. A scent I had dismissed, ignored, taken for granted until the night it vanished and left a silence so vast I couldn't breathe inside it.And beneath it — woven into the same thread, inseparable — something else. Something I had never smelled before but recognized instantly, the way a wolf recognizes its own blood. A pup carrying my scent mark and signature.My pup was alive. My pup was in this room. And the scent had come from the direction of the Alpha King's daughter.I moved through the crowd without thinking. I pushed past

Chapter 32: Before dawn.

Lyra POVThe Summit had been extended by two days.The announcement came at the close of the evening proceedings last night, with a formal declaration from the Alpha King that, in celebration of the return of his long-lost daughter, all delegations were invited to remain in the state capital for an additional forty-eight hours. A party had been arranged, where informal meetings were encouraged, all of which was the Alpha King’s hospitality extended to every pack, regardless of size or standing. The hall had erupted into applause. I had smiled from the stage and accepted the congratulations as though my father hadn't just trapped me in the same building as Asher Voss for two more days.Now it was four in the morning, and I hadn't slept.I lay in bed staring at the ceiling; my thoughts were circling. Asher's face when our eyes met across the hall, stripped raw, desperate, certain of something he couldn't prove. Then the amber-eyed Alpha whose aura and charisma did not portray him as a

Chapter 33: The kitchen.

Lyra POV"Step back," Jaxon said.His voice wasn't loud. It didn't need to be. The authority in it filled the garden. He stood between Asher and me with his feet planted wide, his shoulders squared, his scarred face angled toward Asher as he regarded him quietly.Asher's eyes blazed. "Get out of my way.""No.""You don't know who you're talking to. I am the Alpha of Ashford Dominion, and that woman behind you is—""A woman who asked you to let go." Jaxon still didn't move or raise his voice. "And you didn't. So I'm asking you now. Step back, now.""This has nothing to do with you." Asher's voice was climbing, the desperation in it twisting into something sharp and volatile. "You have no idea what's happening here. That woman is my—""Your what?" Jaxon tilted his head, interrupting him. "Because from where I was standing, she looked like someone who wanted you to stop touching her."Asher’s eyes turned red; he snarled and, without thinking, lunged at Jaxon, swinging his fist.His fist

Chapter 34: Did you ask your brother to look into me?

Lyra POV"No," I said, quickly taking a step back. "You're not interrupting anything."Dorian didn't move from the doorway. His eyes stayed on Jaxon, taking in the blood, the torn shirt, the swollen eye, the distance between us that was simultaneously too wide to be suspicious and too narrow to be innocent."Then perhaps someone can explain," Dorian said, stepping into the kitchen, "why my sister is alone in a kitchen at seven in the morning with a man I've never met, who appears to have recently lost a fight.""He didn't lose," I said quickly. "He chose not to fight back. In fact, he saved my life."Dorian's gaze shifted to me. One eyebrow lifted. “What are you talking about? Explain. Now.” I set the first aid kit on the counter and told him everything. The sleeplessness. The walk. The garden. Asher sitting on the bench, the confrontation, the accusations, the moment he grabbed my arm and wouldn't let go.As I spoke, Dorian's stillness deepened. It was the kind of stillness I had com

Chapter 35: The awakening.

Lyra POV“What?” I asked, the color draining from my face."Did you ask your brother to look into me?" He asked again, gazing at me quietly. The question hung in the air between us. My hand was still on his face, the gauze pressed to his split lip, and I could feel the heat of his skin beneath my fingertips.I must have looked mortified, because his expression shifted from searching to amusement.“Does the question bother you that much?” he chuckled. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”"What?" I managed, still disoriented. "I didn't — that's not—"He laughed loudly, wincing slightly when it pulled at his lip. He lifted his hand and gently took the bandages from my frozen fingers."Don't worry about it," he said. "I'd have done the same thing. It’s just that I am confused that you think me suspicious when I haven’t done anything. Or is that how you feel about me?"I didn’t know what to say. I just stood there, staring at him, shame coloring my cheeks.He slid off the counter, gathere

Chapter 36: She might have answers.

Lyra POVI regained my consciousness and realized I was still in the bathroom.The shower was still running. Hot water streamed over my crumpled body, pooling around my knees, plastering my hair to my face. I was gasping. Great, ragged lungfuls of air burned in my chest, and I was shaking so violently that my teeth chattered against each other, despite being under hot water. The trance this time around had been so real. The sunlight, the screaming, the hollow-eyed rogues, Jaxon's body taking those massive jaws from those rogue wolves. I could still smell the blood. I could still hear the woman screaming my name.Who had that voice?No matter how much I’d tried to know who it was, the person didn’t reveal themselves to me, but for some weird reason it felt like whoever that was, it had been important. I pressed my hand to my stomach, checking for my baby. The baby fluttered, kicking slightly, clearly agitated but alive. "It's okay," I whispered, though I didn't know if I was talking

Chapter 37: The holding cell.

Asher POVThe holding cell beneath Crescent Hall smelled like damp stone and old iron.I sat on the floor with my back against the wall, my wrists resting on my knees, staring at the opposite wall without seeing it. A single torch burned in the bracket outside the iron gate, casting long, unsteady shadows across the floor. The guards who had dragged me here were posted somewhere down the corridor, their voices a low murmur I couldn't be bothered to decipher.None of it mattered.Because the Alpha King's daughter was Lyra.My wolf had confirmed it. Not with uncertainty, hope, or the desperate wishful thinking of a man who had lost too much, but with certainty. Lyra Moonshard was Lyra Hartley. My mate. The mother of my child. The woman I had spent weeks believing was dead, whose bracelet I still kept in my desk drawer, whose absence had unraveled my pack, whose scent I had caught for exactly one heartbeat in the Summit hall before it vanished like smoke.She was alive.My child was aliv

Chapter 38: The anticipated negotiation.

Asher POVHe felt Dorian’s body stiffen. Although he seemed to be composed, Asher didn’t miss the instant discomfort rolling off him. But his expression didn’t change, not even a muscle. “What the hell are you talking about? My sister is not your wife?”I pushed myself to my feet slowly. The cell was small enough that standing put me within arm's reach of Dorian, though the height difference meant I was looking slightly upward. I didn't care. I had spent my entire life commanding rooms. A holding cell and a tall man weren't going to change that."Your sister," I said, "is not who she claims to be.""Is that so?""Lyra Moonshard is Lyra Hartley. My fated mate who disappeared about a month ago. She was the Luna of Ashford Dominion Pack for three years, but she rejected me, fled the pack, and disappeared." I held his gaze. "She can deceive the whole world, Alpha Dorian. She can change her name, hide her scent, put on a crown, and stand on the Alpha King's stage. But she cannot deceive

Chapter 39: The ticking clock.

Jaxon POVI couldn't sit still.I kept pacing the length of my room until my boots had worn a track into the thin carpet that the Summit organizers had generously provided for minor-pack Alphas. The room was small, sparse, and tucked into a corner of the west wing that saw sunlight for approximately two hours a day. It was the kind of room that told you exactly where you ranked without anyone having to say it out loud.We had to endure stomping, loud scraping, and infuriating noises coming from the Alphas lodged above us, but right now, I didn’t care about the room. I cared about the thing strapped beneath my shirt, pressed flat against my chest, that hadn’t stopped humming since last night. The Moon Vessel Marker. Maren had given it to me before I left, insisting that since all the Alphas in the whole world would be attending the Summit and coming with their significant halves, I was sure to find the Moon Vessel among them. The marker was a small, flat stone etched with symbols of

Chapter 40:The ticking clock II

Jaxon POV"I had to go through serious security sweeps." Renn pulled off the cap and ran a hand through his hair. "They've doubled the patrols since last night. Something happened in the gardens this morning. I heard that guards dragged an Alpha out who’d been harassing the Alpha King’s daughter. The whole east wing is buzzing about it."I wanted to tell him I’d been involved in that, and that I had taken the heat of everything, but that could wait."We have a problem," I said without preamble. "Alpha Dorian Moonshard ran a background check on my credentials. He knows Stone Ridge exists, but he's already found inconsistencies. There's no Alpha Varek in their leadership registry."Renn's expression shifted from casual to alert in half a second. "How much does he know?""He knows the current Alpha is Henrick Moss, who hasn't left the territory in four years. I told him Henrick was my uncle and sent me in his place, but he didn't buy it." I stopped pacing and faced him. "He's sent a form
