“Now you listen to me young lady, you have said enough. Just cause you're relocating elsewhere doesn’t mean you’re not under our mercy, one wrong move you make and I swear to you, you’ll rot in hell as your parents are” she spat walking away. She stopped halfway, “Get ready, he’ll be here any moment, you better not mess this up for us” She smirked before walking away. I drew to the ground letting the tears stream. I didn’t know who I was married off to all I knew was his name and status which didn’t matter to me. I have always hoped that my escape from my uncle’s grip is when I find a mate that loves and appreciates me for who I am, someone that I’d spend the rest of my already miserable life with but I guess all that now wasn’t going to happen. I mustered the remaining sanity left in me packing up and proceeding to zip up my bags when a knock came through. Lily came into view with a look of piety one that she knows I hate. Lilly is one of the workers in the house, she’s the one person who makes a house less suffocating, she is around my age but older than me by two years. She pulled me in for a hug snuggling into me and trying to make me feel it’ll be better without even saying it as I could read through her mind. “I’ll be fine, I can handle this. I will surely find my way out” I say to her before she can spit what she intended to say. She sighs, “You’re being married off to an Alpha Lyra, and you know what that means right?” I shrug, “I don’t think even he can defy me. Whoever he is, I’m certain he doesn’t want this as much as I don’t too, so we could maybe come to an agreement and wiggle our way out of the situation. Lily chuckles, “I adore your confidence Lyra I just hope you’ll be okay, wherever you go do keep in touch please?” A slight smile stole its way to my lips as I nodded, “Sure, you have my word” She giggles, “Now your uncle wants you down, his beta is around” My heart dropped at the mention of that but masked it away. We can’t do this, what if we don’t like him? Nyx says with a growl as I watch Lily step out helping me with the small box I had set my very few outfits. “We don’t plan on liking him girl, let’s say we’re tolerating him till we’re able to come up with something and find a way out of this mess” “Better” I stood outside, my small bag packed and ready for my new life with Alpha Sage Mickelson. “You better be on your best behavior, If you mess this up for me I’ll make sure you regret it” Uncle mumbled enough to my hearing with a fake smile plastered on his lips so as not to give Jason, Alpha Sage’s beta. Jason’s tall and imposing figure with piercing blue eyes, stood by a sleek black SUV. He nodded at me curtly, his expression stern. "it's time to go." I took a deep breath and walked towards the vehicle, sparing my uncle a last-minute look. Jason opened the door for me, and I climbed in, settling into the plush seat. Jason got down and helped me out just in time the doors breaking open and revealing an aged woman probably around the age of 62 with a smile plastered on her lips. She walked down to us reaching out for me before surprisingly pulling me in for a hug, “Welcome to the family Lyra” she stated pulling back. Nyx groans irritatingly while I force a tight-lipped smile so as not to ruin the moment unsure of how to respond. “Come in my dear, we’ve all been waiting for you” We? I blinked back following her as she guided me inside. I thought the outside of the estate was beautiful until I came in view with the inside. It was magnificent. “Lyra loosen up, you’re part of the family now” she states pausing noticing my distress. Who on earth did my uncle sell me off to? Whoever the Mickelson’s were, they must own a fortune. As we entered the foyer, a young woman with a bright smile and piercing blue eyes rushed towards me. She enveloped me in a tight hug that took me off guard. "Welcome to the family, Lyra!" she exclaimed, her voice genuine and kind. "We're so glad you're here! And I’m Angela by the way” Mrs. Mickelson smiled, her eyes shining with approval. "Angela, dear, go call your brothers and your sister." She nods before walking off. We sat in silence and just as Angela came back with a group of shirtless men each of them oozing dominance and fineness my eyes dropped on a set of familiar deep blue eyes. Shit.Related chapters

SAGE“This is the contract you both go through it before signing and remember I’m doing this for your interest. But you must know that you try and make things work. The man can not call it quiet but rather the woman. Sage, I’m being very precise because I know how obstinate you tend to be but you know better than to defy me” she states in a warning tone narrowing her stare at me to which I shrugged.She clears her throat. “Lyra my dear you should understand that you have a say in your life, you get to decide what you want to do with you at least for as long as you are married to my son. If you too agree to stay together, Sage you have to mark her as your Luna within a year meaning Lyra you have a year to decide whether or not you want this relationship and if you don’t which we all would understand even though I know you are the best my son could have,” she smiled directing it towards my suppose mate.Kato was already getting infuriated by the situation the fact that an Alpha is being

LYRAI stared at the outfit I was gifted by my mother-in-law. It’s a navy blue dress hugging each curve like a second skin. The dress made my waist look quite skinny urging me to move uncomfortably. It made me feel self-conscious, don’t get me wrong the dress is very beautiful but just not to my taste, I mean I don’t wear exposing outfits.But I knew better than to protest.I said adjusting the bun I made my hair into hoping that today goes by smoothly and Sage doesn’t get on my nerves as much as he’s trying to do for the past week.He just can’t get or should I say accept the fact that I am not afraid of him, he can’t use his power or dominance against me if you look at it, you can tell that he is under my mercy since I have the right to cut things off or not, and as much as I want to do that, it can’t happen.I mean I still haven’t figured a way out of the reach of not just the Mickelson’s but my uncle.A knock on my door has me snapping out of my train of thought “Yes, come in” I

LYRA “Wow, your coffee tastes pretty good” Claus states with a smile dangling on his lips. I had followed him out for a morning jog not just to exercise my muscles but also from being trapped in the house for three days. Being Married has never felt so worse, most pack members didn’t seem to like me much which I don’t give a fuck about it, but my plan of getting myself out of here still stands. Unlike Sage Clause is a bit more welcoming and friendly not that I trust me or something but at least my jog with him today has made us exchange a few things about each other. “Thanks” I stated gulping my coffee. “Why don’t you take this to Sage, I am pretty sure he needs as much” Clause suggests. My brows furrowed at his statement, “Meaning?” I couldn’t help but ask. He shrugs, “Just that he doesn’t get much rest these days, always on the edge and running between handling the company and being an Alpha” He explains. I nod, “Yeah but that’s why you are there to help” I state

SAGE I could still feel her heart racing as she walked out, a smirk drawing its way to my lips satisfactory. I will make sure I create fear and obedience in her heart to the extent she shivers at the mention of my name. There is something about Lyra that riles me up which I can’t seem to point it. For some reason which I’m yet to discover, I still don’t trust her, and I don’t think I’ll be able to do that. I growled drawing my stare to the wall clock, I was already getting late for work. I had a business trip to attend to in Rome with a little touch of Alpha duties. I know I’m not able to travel alone, if I had to go, then it must be with Lyra. It’s the conversation I just ended with Mum before walking into the room and meeting with her irking self. To think she’d get on my good side by offering a cup of whatever she had brought with, her was stupid. I didn’t want to go with Lyra. I wanted to use this trip as an opportunity to escape from the reality of being married to

LYRA I stormed out of the hotel room, my heart racing and my eyes brimming with tears. I couldn't bear to be in the same space as Sage right now. What had just happened had left me feeling embarrassed, hurt, and utterly frustrated. I was still turned on but the anger I felt surged within me. How could I be so stupid enough to let him cross his limits? I burst through the door and out into the cool night air, taking a deep breath as I strode away from the hotel. I didn't know where I was going, I just needed to get away. I needed to clear my head and get the embarrassment I felt out of my system. I had let him see the weak side of me, and I knew for sure he wouldn’t let me breathe after what had just happened. The city streets were bustling with people, but I barely noticed. I bit on my lower lip trying to fight back the tears. I wasn’t going to let him get to me. I was lost in my thoughts, replaying the way he made me feel. I have never been so much in contact with a man

LYRA It's been two days since we argued that night I returned after the most unfortunate event had happened that led me to seek sanity. Sage still doesn't get the fact that no matter how much he tries to show his dominance I still don't consider him my Alpha. He had asked who I was with and I'm sure cause he sniffed the scent of another from me, must be why. He called me a slut and an undeserving person, the most insulting words you could ever think of it was hurtful but I manage to ignore him and not let his words get to me must be why he choose to stay away from me. In the morning when I woke up, I woke up to an empty room, and ever since I haven't set my eyes on him. Screw him, for all I care. A knock on my door has me snapped out of my train of thought compelling me to leave the couch I got so comfortable in and walking towards it. Sliding the door open I came into view with one of the hotel attendants holding a box. "Delivery for Mrs Mickleson," he says with a smile pla

LYRAI sat alone at the bar, gulping my beer and feeling like a stranger that I was.. The gala event was in full swing, with laughter and music filling the air, but I couldn't shake the feeling of not belonging. No matter how elegantly dressed I was, I knew I didn't measure up.I glanced around the room, searching for a familiar face, but Sage was nowhere to be found. He was probably off schmoozing with his business partners, leaving me to fend for myself. Again. I wasn't surprised. I knew how this game was played.Not that I cared. He had strictly warned me to not try anything funny and to lay low for as long as we were going to be here.The incident in the car still made me wince in embarrassment while gulping my seventh cup of alcohol. I can count the number of times I have had alcohol, let’s just we don’t work well together. But tonight I felt like I needed this to clear my mind on what has been going on lately.I took another sip of my beer, feeling the alcohol coursing through

LYRA He bit on my lower lip seeking entrance which was offered by a moan that escaped my lips. My legs felt wobbly as he kissed me harder as though I was his only salvation. He must have sensed my discomfort so he picked me up while I encircled my legs around his waist. Just in time, the elevator dinged making us screw back into position before the door completely slides open. An aged woman with a young one helping her by her side came into view as the door completely slammed open. The girl must have noticed what was going on due to the weird stares she shot both of me and Sage. Heat rises my cheeks watching Sage walk out with me tailing behind him like a lost puppy. I walked my heart hammering with each step I took to get closer to the room. I don't exactly know what was going on between us but it wasn't right, as much as we hated each other's guts then whatever game it was we were playing, it needed to stop. I watched Sage disappear into the room while I stood inches away f

Lyra’s POV.I wiggled around the chair trying to get off the ropes that bound me with the chair, anger and fear cursing through me as I stared at Xavier's dark deep orbs that exuded venom and the smug smile that spread against his lips."Why are you doing this, Xavier?" I spat, firing my words at him like bullets.His smile grew wider. "You're just a pawn in a bigger game, Lyra. This is about Sage. Don’t worry princess, I may or may not hurt, so I won’t make any promises” I wagged against the ropes trying to get free from them even though my efforts were in vain yet I didn’t waver, “What does Sage have to do with this? And why would you result to violence for whatever this has to do with” His eyes gleamed with malice. “He needs to learn the hard way, I plan on taking everything from him, anything that ever brought him happiness must be eliminated” I gulped down a lump batting my eyelashes as my eyes stung in tears, “You’re sick Xavier!

I stood before my pack, my voice thundering through the walls."Twenty-four hours! That's how long Lyra's been gone. And what do I see? Nothing! No leads, no clues, no progress!" I roared.Goddamit!I should never have trusted anyone to pick her up. I should have done that myself.Part of me hoped that she didn’t leave me yet again. I thought we had sorted out our differences and now starting things afresh.What changed then?My gaze scoured the room, meeting the downcast eyes of my pack."Incompetence! That's what I'm surrounded by!"Jason stepped forward. "Alpha, we're doing everything we can—""Everything you can?" I roared, cutting him off. "If that were true, Lyra would be back here, safe and sound!"My fists clenched, nails digging into my palms. "I want results, not excuses!"Damien spoke up. "Sage, we've tracked every lead, every rumor. We've covered miles—""Miles? Miles mean nothing without Lyra!" My voice cracked with frustration.I paced, my eyes burning with anger and des

I measured out the sugar carefully so as not to miss the recipe "Lyra, you're lost in thought again," Angela said, nudging me with her elbow. I smiled sheepishly. "Sorry," I say trying to fight back the thoughts. Sage’s different behaviors have been getting to me these days. His efforts aren’t going unnoticed though I try as much as possible to make him believe that his actions weren’t getting to me or going to change my mind, I still stand to the fact that I won’t be giving us a chance. “What is wrong?” She questions with worry in her tune. I shrugged, “Nothing” trying to wave off the conversation but she wasn’t having it, it’s Angela after all. Letting out a sigh I paused my action on molding the dough, my shoulders sulking. “It’s Sage” Angela's expression turned curious. "What about him?" I cleared my throat proceeding to mix the dough. "He's been trying, Angela. Trying. But I'm not making it easy for him." Angela nodded thoughtfully. "You're still hurting Lyra,

I collapsed onto the floor, my legs giving out on me as soon as the door clicked shut behind Sage. The sobs I'd been holding back erupted, shaking my entire body. Nyx, howled in sympathy making me cry even harder.How could he do this to me again? I thought I'd moved on, that I'd left the pain behind. But Sage's kiss had awakened something deep within me, something I couldn't ignore and I hated that.I didn’t want this for myself. My heart has already been broken once and I don’t want it to happen again. It’s breaking me.I wrapped my arms around my knees, rocking back and forth as tears streamed down my face. Why did I still feel this way? Why did my heart still race when he touched me?This isn’t supposed to be happening. He shouldn’t have this effect on me. Nyx's gentle nudges didn't calm me this time. My wolf sensed my pain, but even she couldn't soothe the storm raging inside me.I am left feeling conflicted and hurt. It saddens me that he feels as though he is still in contro

I sat down on the edge of Sage's bed, my heart pounding loudly in my chest as I heard the door creak open, signaling Sage's arrival. Despite the turmoil of emotions inside me, I made a conscious effort to mask my face, trying to appear composed even though I was burning with discomfort. I don’t know if he is aware of my return but then I am sure his Wolf may have sensed it. I turned slightly away, my eyes fixed on a random spot on the floor, avoiding any direct eye contact with him as he entered the room. The tension between us was palpable, and I struggled to find the right words to break the uneasy silence but then again, I was the one wronged, so making an effort first is his go and not mine. “Lyra” he calls out his voice sounding foreign to my hearing, almost as though it was the first time he had ever called my name. The tingling was still there. “Thank you for coming back” he states urging me to stare right back at him and I hit him with a physically chang

I sat alone in the room, Ryan's tiny hands wrapped around mine. His bright eyes sparkled as he chattered excitedly about his favorite cartoon."...and then, Mommy, Buzz Lightyear saved the day!" Ryan exclaimed.I forced a smile, my heart heavy with sadness. Knowing that I will be leaving him, the thought alone is frightening and suffocating.I have never been far away from him and the thought of that happening now wasn’t something that sat well with me.I trusted Luna and Henry to take care of my baby boy while I was away but I didn’t want to leave Ryan and couldn’t take him with me.The last thing I want is for Sage to find out about him even though it is his right as Ryan’s father, but no, he didn’t deserve any of us in his life. "I'm so proud of you, baby," I whispered, squeezing his hands.Ryan looked up at me with innocence and trust. "Mommy, what's wrong?" he asked, sensing my emotions.I quickly blinked away tears. "Nothing, sweetie. Mommy's just tired."Ryan nodded, accepting

I stood before my mother-in-law, Luna, her piercing gaze trying to persuade me to return home with her. But how could I? After what Sage is to me.It's not even an option. I don't want to go back to my past. I want to move on completely and away from Sage or his family, but Luna is making it too hard for me."Lyra, dear, come home with me," she said, her voice laced with a gentle urgency. "We can work through this together, and I am not even asking you to return to him; we can settle for a divorce."My heart dropped at the mention of that. I don't exactly know how I felt after those words had left her mouth, but it sure didn't sound good to me.I hesitated, my heart still heavy with the wounds of Sage's betrayal. "I'm not sure, Aunt," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't want my heart broken again," I say biting on my lower lip.My eyes were already beginning to sting at the mention of Sage. He was my past, and I wanted things to remain as they were now.My life with

Axel walked through the front door of his apartment, exhausted from the long day it had been. The martial arts session had completely drained the daylights out of him. He needed to get some rest, and part of him hoped that Raya was asleep, as he didn't have the energy to entertain any of her dramas, at least not today again. He knows she has so many unanswered questions, but when it is the right time, he will let her in on it, but for now, no. As he walked further into the house, his exhaustion quickly turned to shock. The room was in disarray—furniture overturned, vases shattered, and papers scattered everywhere. "Raya!" Axel called out, panic creeping into his voice. "Raya, where are you?" He rushed through the living room, eyes scanning the area for any sign of his wife. But she was nowhere to be found. His heart dropped as he let out a frustrating hiss, yelling out her name. "Raya, answer me!" Axel yelled, his panic turning to fear. He dashed into the bedroom, but it wa
