Lyra had always believed there were moments in life that changed everything.The first time she met Kael Draven.The day she became his wife.The night she stood before the entire Draven Pack and accepted the Luna crown.She never imagined another moment would join those memories.The night her marriage ended.The servants spent nearly two hours preparing her for the Moon Council gathering.They adjusted the silver embroidery on her dress. They fixed the loose strands of her hair. They carefully placed the crescent-shaped necklace around her throat.The symbol of the Draven Luna.A symbol of everything she was about to lose.Lyra stared at her reflection in the mirror.The woman looking back at her appeared graceful.Confident.Powerful.The kind of woman who belonged beside an Alpha.But Lyra knew the truth.Behind the perfect appearance was a woman trying to understand how the man she loved could quietly decide to leave her.The divorce papers sat hidden inside her drawer.She had n

Lyra had always believed leaving would be the hardest part.She was wrong.The hardest part was staying long enough to say goodbye.For three years, the Draven estate had been her home.Or at least, she had tried to make it one.She had learned the names of every servant.She had helped heal injured warriors after battles.She had sat through endless council meetings beside Kael, even when he never once asked what she thought.She had carried the Luna title with pride because she believed one day it would become more than a title.She believed one day she would become more than a duty.But some dreams did not die because they were impossible.They died because one person kept dreaming alone.---The official divorce ceremony would not happen for another week.Werewolf laws required a period of separation before a bond could be legally broken.Seven days.Seven days of still being called Luna.Seven days of living under the same roof as the man who had already chosen a different woman.

Lyra Ashbourne had spent three years learning how to become a Luna.She had learned the traditions.The politics.The expectations.The endless responsibility of standing beside an Alpha who carried the weight of an entire pack.But no one had taught her how to become Lyra again.So she started there.---The village of Aster Hollow was nothing like the Draven territory.There were no towering castles.No council chambers.No guards watching every movement.No one bowed when she walked past.At first, it felt strange.Almost uncomfortable.For three years, everyone had called her Luna.Here, people simply called her Lyra.And somehow, that felt more honest.She rented a small house near the village healing center.It was nothing luxurious.The roof needed repairs.The kitchen was too small.The garden was overgrown.But when Lyra opened the windows on her first morning there, sunlight filled the room.And for the first time in years...She felt like she could breathe.---The first we

Kael stared at the worn leather file resting on his desk long after Rowan left. The Ashbourne crest stared back at him like a ghost from another life. For years, that emblem had meant only one thing. Betrayal. With a slow breath, he broke the faded wax seal. The first document was older than he expected. The parchment had yellowed with age, and the ink had begun to fade, but the signatures at the bottom remained unmistakable. His father's. Lord Ashbourne's. And three council elders. Kael frowned. The document wasn't a declaration of war. It was a peace agreement. He flipped to the next page. Another agreement. Then another. Each one spoke of shared resources, joint patrols, and promises to protect one another during the harsh winters that plagued both territories. His grip tightened. "This... isn't possible." A soft knock interrupted his thoughts. "Come in." Rowan entered, carrying another stack of old records. "I thought you'd have questions." Kael didn't look u

The ride back to the Draven estate was unusually quiet. Rowan rode several paces behind Kael, sensing that his Alpha needed silence more than conversation. Brookhaven Village had left its mark. Every smile Lyra had given. Every family she had helped. Every sacrifice she had hidden. None of it matched the woman Kael believed he had married. He wasn't haunted by what he had learned. He was haunted by everything he had never cared to ask. As dusk settled over the estate, Kael walked straight to the archives. The elderly archivist looked up in surprise. "Alpha?" "I need every record concerning Lady Lyra." The old wolf hesitated. "There are... quite a few." "Bring them." Minutes later, several leather-bound ledgers covered the long oak table. Kael opened the first one. Medical reports. Village inspections. Supply requests. His eyes skimmed page after page until something caught his attention. Personal Donation Log — Lady Lyra Ashbourne Draven. His heart skipped. He
