Lyra Heartstrings

Lyra a sacrifié cinq années à négocier la paix entre meutes hostiles. À son retour, son âme sœur célèbre son cinquième anniversaire avec celle qui fut sa meilleure amie. Leurs jumeaux, leurs enfants, arrachés à leurs bras nourrissons, appellent une autre « maman ». Sa place a été effacée. Son sacrifice oublié. Lorsque cette même amie l'accuse d'avoir empoisonné les jumeaux, Lyra comprend que la trahison remonte à sa naissance. Née Shadowborn, issue d'une lignée crainte pour son pouvoir destructeur, elle a été secrètement empoisonnée toute sa vie pour réprimer ses dons. Condamnée à mort, exilée dans les territoires rebelles, elle ne meurt pas. Elle s'éveille. Libérée, ses pouvoirs d'ombre et de perception de la vérité émergent , capables de faire s'effondrer des royaumes bâtis sur le mensonge. Cinq ans plus tard, elle revient, transformée. Son ancien compagnon règne comme Alpha. Sa meilleure amie porte la couronne qui aurait dû être sienne. Kael Northwood, un Alpha rival, croit en son innocence et détient un secret rendant leur lien interdit. Lyra doit choisir : reprendre ses enfants volés, ou forger un destin que personne ne contrôlera. Certaines trahisons détruisent. La sienne a réveillé ce qui aurait dû rester enfoui.

Every year, the Dragon King takes girls from their families. None ever come back. Lyra Walker was never supposed to matter — plain, unwanted, and sent to die in place of her stepsister. But on her first night in the palace, something impossible happens: the fearsome black dragon that has killed countless tributes before her curls up in her arms like a tame cat and falls asleep. She doesn't know yet that the dragon and the king are one and the same. Zarek Nightflame has ruled for centuries under a curse that is slowly stealing his mind. He needs an heir. He needs his true queen. And somehow, the most ordinary girl he has ever laid eyes on is the only one who has ever made the beast inside him go quiet. But Lyra didn't come here to be anyone's queen. She came to survive, to uncover the truth behind her mother's death, and to make the people who destroyed her family pay. Staying alive is just the first problem. Staying out of love with a dragon king might be the harder one.

Durante seis años, esperé para convertirme en la compañera marcada y Luna oficial del Alfa Kael. La primera vez, Lyra, la compañera de su difunto hermano, llamó llorando por un ataque de renegados. Él me dejó en el altar y corrió a salvarla, pero resultó que ella solo se había perdido mientras caminaba por el bosque. La segunda vez, nunca se presentó porque Lyra había amenazado con suicidarse. Más tarde descubrí que él le había entregado el collar de la Luna porque la loba de ella necesitaba más protección que la mía. La tercera vez, fui a buscarlo y lo encontré en su cita prenatal, con la mano sobre el vientre de ella. Él no sabía que yo también estaba esperando un cachorro suyo. Con el corazón roto, decidí irme. Después de que desaparecí, él se volvió loco buscándome.

Years after graduation, someone suddenly tags me in the class group chat. "Mr. Warren is gravely ill, Mira. Aren't you going to do anything? You really are heartless!" I only realize what's going on when I click on the fundraising link in the chat. Our high school homeroom teacher, Joseph Warren, has late-stage cancer. Thus, Lyra Fairfield, the class belle, is leading a fundraiser and patient-donor matching process. "I'll donate ten thousand dollars. My husband is the director of Waverly General Hospital, and I've already asked him to arrange a VIP ward for Mr. Warren." Right after I send that message, the group pounces on me. "Mira, you contracted an STD back then and tried to pin it on Lyra. She didn't even hold it against you, and now you're trying to steal her thunder? You're unbelievable!" "I can't believe you're still lying through your teeth during such a serious situation. You never change, do you?" Lyra immediately defuses the tension. "Mira, I don't blame you for what happened in the past, but you really shouldn't impersonate the director's wife. I've already arranged the ward and surgery, and I'm donating another 100 thousand dollars to Mr. Warren!" I'm this close to laughing out of sheer anger. She's the one who scratched her name off the diagnosis report and framed me for having an STD all those years ago. I never even confronted her about it, and now she's playing the victim? Lyra soon posts a photo in the group chat, showing off her husband's car. Yet, when I see the man in the passenger seat, I guffaw. Isn't that my husband's driver? When did he start running a hospital?

Lyra has made journaling a habit ever since she lost her father and her elder sister. She sees it as a way to communicate with them. So she journals.

Sechs Jahre lang hatte ich darauf gewartet, Alpha Kaels markierte Gefährtin und offizielle Luna zu werden. Beim ersten Mal rief Lyra – die Gefährtin seines verstorbenen Bruders – weinend an und behauptete, Einzelgänger-Wölfe hätten sie angegriffen. Er ließ mich am Altar stehen und rannte los, um sie zu retten, doch es stellte sich heraus, dass sie sich lediglich im Wald verlaufen hatte. Beim zweiten Mal tauchte er gar nicht erst auf, weil Lyra gedroht hatte, sich das Leben zu nehmen. Später erfuhr ich, dass er ihr die Luna-Kette gegeben hatte – weil ihre Wölfin angeblich mehr Schutz brauchte als meine. Beim dritten Mal ging ich selbst auf die Suche nach ihm und fand ihn bei ihrer Vorsorgeuntersuchung. Seine Hand lag auf ihrem Bauch. Er wusste nicht, dass auch ich seinen Welpen in mir trug. Mit gebrochenem Herzen beschloss ich zu gehen. Nachdem ich verschwunden war, drehte er fast durch vor Verzweiflung, mich zu finden.
