“Not again.” This is the fucking third time this week. Doesn't she fucking give up? My wolf circles hard. Fast. Hackles up. “This is not her.* “What do you mean, not her?” I hiss back as I pull on my jacket and shove my feet into boots. “Not Lyra. Too different.’ “I see. Still, an attack is an attack.” “Too loud. Too sloppy. It burns. So messy." I pause with my hand on the door because he is right. I can feel it now. The magic is wrong. It scratches instead of slicing clean. It is everywhere at once and nowhere useful.

I gestured towards a free seat. “Thank you, Jake,” She responded, pulling in a chair. “There’s… there's something in Lyra's bloodwork. It’s not just trauma, Jake. There’s a foreign element, there is something magical about it.” My mind raced. “Magic? Like a curse?” My eyes widened in shock. The moon goddess cannot be so unfair to mate me with someone who also carried a curse. “It's magic, but definitely not a curse” she admitted. “It’s something as old as time. But I noticed it’s dormant, waiting for a particular trigger to activate it.”

"It will help us see the true extent of your abilities without putting strain on your untrained control. Just be yourself and trust your bond with Lyra." As she spoke words in an ancient language that made the air itself seem to thicken and shimmer, the crystals began to glow with soft, pulsing light. The magical energy in the room intensified dramatically, and I felt something responding deep within me—not just Lyra, but something older and more fundamental, as if the Golden Wolf nature itself was awakening to the presence of compatible magic. "Step into the circle," Iris instructed gently, her voice carrying both authority and reassurance.

Exactly as I had seen in my vision. Small. Old. Deceptively still. The air around it shimmered with warding sigils, invisible to most eyes but painfully clear to mine. Damon’s magic reeked of arrogance and possession, and Morwein’s work was layered over it, sharp, cruel and ancient. I slowed, my body trembling from the force of my own magic barely held in check. My pulse was a drumbeat of fury. Moonveil’s voice filled my head, furious and bright. Now, Lyra. Do not hesitate. This is where we ended. Now it is where we begin again.

Then she curled up in bed, body still humming with unfulfilled desire, mind spinning with images from the ceremony and the dangerous man who was slowly dying because of her. The Copulation Ceremony had ended. But her own personal ceremony of choice was only just beginning. The following morning, the Obsidian Tower felt heavier, as though the magic itself was holding its breath after the Copulation Ceremony. Lyra barely slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw glowing magical names fading on sweat-slick skin, heard the moans echoing through the Grand Hall, and felt Kaelith’s fingers teasing her to the edge only to pull away. Her body still ached with frustration.

Maria’s small voice trembled, fragile as a dying leaf in the wind. The others stirred at the sound, their tiny arms reaching for me with the last dregs of their strength. I dropped to my knees in the center of the desecrated ritual circle, the cold stone biting through my jeans. Moonlight filtered through the cracked ceiling above, bathing us in its silver glow. The moment I opened myself to it, the light softened, warming like a living embrace. It wrapped around us all, a protective cocoon of lunar magic that pushed back the lingering shadows of dark sorcery still clinging to the air.

"I know you orchestrated all that just to piss me off. To get my attention, you’re willing to embarrass yourself. Why are you pretending like you don't want my attention now?" The knife he was holding accidentally grazed my arm. Fresh blood soaked the silk sheets. I was sweating from the pain. But the pain in my heart was a thousand times worse. Cade didn’t even bat an eye. His gaze was almost merciless. "My mother was right. Women like you who climb up from the bottom are never respectable! Why bother hiring someone to put on a show? If you dare, just divorce me for real! Your sister is a thousand times better than you!"
