They froze, and their eyes widened. The room fell dead silent, and they all turned their attention towards me. “Listen to me!” I shouted at them and stood up, glaring at them. “We’re at war now, so get that through your thick skulls. Whatever half-baked ideas you’ve got rattling around in there? The
None of the alphas said anything as their heads lowered in submission. I had made my point clear. Tamara would be the Luna Queen, and I’d burn the whole council down before they disagreed.I dropped back into my chair, heaved a deep sigh, and turned to Daris.“What’s your take on these attacks?” I as
~Tamara~I yawned and stretched my hands as the last customer left the restaurant. “Finally!” I shouted excitedly, staring at the clock on the right side of the room. Tonight marked Mark’s and my anniversary, and since I was collecting my paycheck that night, I planned to use part of it to buy him a
~Tamara~My head pounded as I woke to the blinding sunlight outside the window. I fluttered my eyes open and realized that the curtains were wide open, and I saw my clothes tossed beside the bed. I rubbed my bed and reached for my left side, hoping that I would touch the desk that used to be by my b
~Axel~I rubbed my forehead for the umpteenth time, trying to forget the woman I had met a few days ago. She was the same as Lyra. I have heard about reincarnation a thousand times but never expected Lyra to be reincarnated after a hundred years. Seeing her felt surreal; I had almost made a fool of
~Tamara~Today, it had been hectic.The customers had been trooping in, and Mr. Lan and I had worked endlessly to satisfy them. Even with the help of a high school girl on break, my workload did not decrease, and I couldn’t complain because I had begged Mr. Lan for extra hours to pay off my piled-up
~Tamara~I sighed as I stared at my phone, reading the rejection message repeatedly. It was a message from all the companies I had applied to and short and direct rejections.“Miss Tamara, sorry, we are not hiring, but when we do, we will contact you.”It had been almost a week since I last met the
~Axel~Tamara sobbed as she turned to face the car window. My heart ached because I had witnessed everything, but I pretended not to be there, desperate for her to help me. She had been through a lot, and I wished I could have hurt those who made her like that.‘’Are you…’’ I reached out to touch he

~Axel~The meeting room smelled like old wood and tension as I strode in with Silver and Leonara trailing behind me. I entered with a frown as I couldn't help it. The alphas were packed around the long table, their eyes snapping at me the second I walked in. They were muttering amongst themselves,
I sighed as I felt the weight of it all pressing down on me. Ian was never going to stop unless someone got rid of him. “Fine. I’m ready to face them.” But before I could say more, a faint rustle beside me pulled my attention. Tamara stirred, her breathing shifting from the deep sleep rhythm to some
~Axel~I jolted awake and placed my hand on my pounding heart. I had half-expected that I would still be trapped in that insane dream. But no, there was my bed; the familiar dark color of my room came into view as I fluttered my eyes open. Sweat slid down my spine, cold and sticky, as I sucked in a
Tears of joy spilled down my face as he spoke of the meeting with the council. With every word, the pain in my shoulder lessened as if his recognition was healing me."Do you think I’d forget you?" Axel scoffed, rolling his eyes dramatically. "If there’s one thing I’d never forget, it is the act tha
~Tamara~I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder as I slowly opened my eyes. Tears streamed down my face as I struggled to understand what was happening. The room suddenly darkened, and for a few minutes, my vision failed me—I couldn’t see a thing. I fought to keep my eyes open, desperate to meet Axel’s
“Beware,” he shouted. “Your ill-fated relationship began when you two met years ago.”I furrowed my brows, confused by what he meant. I pointed at him, then at myself. “Are you saying I’m Lyra?” I asked, making sure I hadn’t misheard. “How the hell am I, Lyra? She hasn’t died for so long, and—“It
~Tamara~A blinding light appeared as I kissed Axel. It was so bright that I had to close my eyes briefly, my lips still pressed against his. When the light faded, I found myself in an entirely different place. It appeared to be a hallway, but it resembled a dungeon more than anything else. The unfa
