The rain was brutal.The main hall of *Blackthorn Pack* reeked of cold and death. The grand chandeliers were dark. Only torches burned, throwing long shadows on the stone walls.In the center, on a marble bed, lay *Alpha Kael Veyron*.24 years old. Alpha of Blackthorn. The name that made rogues tremble. Today, he couldn’t even get out of bed.His body was burning with fever. Black veins spread across his neck like poison crawling under his skin."There’s no use," the Pack Doctor said, head lowered. "It’s been three days. Nothing is working. This… this is a curse, Alpha."Beta *Torin* clenched his fists. "Shut your mouth. Kael will be fine."Kael cracked his eyes open. His grey eyes were hazy. "Shut… up… all of you."That’s when the door creaked open. _Creeeak._Every head turned.A woman stood there. Long black coat. Hood up, hiding half her face. A small leather bag in her hand.Rainwater dripped from her boots onto the floor."Who are you?" Torin barked.The woman didn’t lowe

Three days passed.*Kael Veyron* was healing. The wound on his body had closed. But the wound in his mind… was getting deeper every day.Reason: *Lyra Wynter.*She came every morning. Gave the medicine. Left without a word. No eye contact. No name. Like he wasn’t the Alpha. Like he was air.And at night…At night Kael went insane.---*NIGHT 1*Kael closed his eyes.In the dream, he was back in that hall. The mating ceremony. *Lyra* in a white gown. 20 years old. Trembling."Kael, I’m your mate."And he said: "I reject you."Lyra turned. Ran into the rain.Kael called after her: "STOP!"She stopped. Turned.But this Lyra was older. 25. Cold. Blue eyes.She smiled faintly. "Too late, Alpha."And vanished.Kael’s eyes snapped open. Sweat. Out of breath.He looked at the bed. The pillow beside him was damp. From tears? No. From sweat."No," he clenched his fist. "I’m not weak."---*NIGHT 2*The same dream again.This time Lyra was alone in the forest. Wounded. Bleeding.Kael

Blood. The rainwater was turning red.*Kael Veyron* sat on the ground. *Lyra’s* head in his lap."LYRA! OPEN YOUR EYES!" he roared. His voice echoed through the forest.Blood was pouring from Lyra’s arm. The arrow was still in it. Her lips were turning blue. Breathing fast."Doctor!" Kael bellowed. "TORIN!"Torin and 4 guards appeared in 2 seconds."Move back, Alpha," Torin said.Kael held Lyra tighter. "I’m not letting go.""Alpha she’ll die! The arrow has to come out!"Kael looked at the arrow with shaking hands. Poisoned. Black.He closed his eyes. And snapped the arrow. The rest stayed inside.Lyra groaned and opened her eyes."Kael..." her voice was so faint."I’m here," Kael pressed her hair to his chest. "Nothing’s going to happen. You hear me? Nothing."Lyra gave a weak smile. "You… saved me again...""Shut up," Kael put a finger on her lips. "Don’t talk."Then clapping came from the forest.Clap. Clap. Clap.*Rylan Drake* jumped down from a tree. 10 guards with him. Soake
