Step uncles are my mates
Some stories begin with love.
Lyra’s begins with a fall.
Once, she was the heart of the Sterling Estate—an orphan girl cherished by three powerful Alphas who swore to protect her. Lyra believed in them with everything she had. Trusted them. Loved them.
Until the day they chained her to a chair… called her a murderer… and destroyed her with their own hands.
Betrayed by her family. Framed by a serpent in silk. Cast out and broken, Lyra was hunted to the edge of the world—where Genevieve finally revealed the truth behind every lie, every tear, every stolen glance.
Then she pushed Lyra off the cliffs to die.
But Lyra didn’t beg for mercy.
She prayed for revenge.
And the Great Mother answered.
Reborn five years in the past, Lyra returns to the moment it all began—armed with memories of betrayal, cruelty, and the cold touch of death. This time, she refuses to be their victim. She will rewrite her fate, destroy the girl who stole her life, and walk away from the three men who once shattered her soul.
But something is wrong.
The Alphas who once condemned her now watch her with guilt. With hunger. With something dangerously close to devotion.
They remember.
As enemies close in, secrets unravel, and a forgotten royal bloodline awakens within her, Lyra is forced to face a truth far more dangerous than betrayal—
What if the monsters who broke her… would burn the world to save her this time?
Power. Revenge. Desire. Redemption.
This time, Lyra doesn’t fall.
This time, she rises.
