JAKE’S POV

“Gosh! This is one hell of a heavy leash,” the first guard sighed, throwing down what seemed like a ton of heavy, intertwined rods.

“What does the Alpha really need them for? Dragons had gone extinct, I would have said he wanted to use them to bind one down here in the dungeon,” The second guard responded.

They both burst into a peal of laughter, careful not to let me hear them but I guess they forgot I was an Alpha and I could hear spoken words from an unimaginable distance, and second of all, I could use my mind link to hear thoughts.

“How about I use those chains to suspend you both in the air? Maybe you’d learn how to be more competent and focused !” I snapped at them.

“I’m sorry, we are sorry, Your Grace!” They both shuddered as they bowed to apologize before scattering out of the dungeon to continue preparations for today's event. Finally, the long-awaited full-blood moon ceremony was here.

Damon walked into the dungeon, wearing a pair of baggy shorts and a matchin

    CHAPTER 50JAKE’S POV“All Hail the moon goddess! The giver of life and hope! The protector of our realm!” Selene proclaimed, bowing before the temple.“All hail the mother of light!” Everyone chorused in unison, bowing to their knees with their foreheads pressing against the floor.In no time, the prayers were over and immediately followed by loud music and chants echoing through the night. I sat back in my chair, watching the event unfold before me. The pack members were jumping and twisting their bodies in rhythm to the melodious beats from the speakers.It was indeed a grand ceremony! I ought to be happy and flow with the spirit of the night but unease tightened my chest. Fear, doubts, and guilt all crept through my mind at once. I shifted my gaze to Damon who sat adjacent to me, signaling him to come over to the podium where I sat.“Have you seen Lyra since the event started?” I asked Damon, screaming aloud because my voice was almost drowned by the noisy environment.“Yes, Your

    LYRA’S POVLast night was nothing short of unease. I had made myself a warm glass of milk hoping it would help but for every time I closed my eyes, voices, nightmares and unsettling thoughts kept my eyes peeled. "56, 57, 58, 59, finally 7am!" I muttered, slamming shut the alarm before pushing myself up from the bed. I had been staring at my digital alarm clock counting along with every tick sound it made till it was finally dawn.My body ached in a way I couldn’t quite explain, like I had run for miles in my sleep. My bones made a cracking sound, fixing into place as I stretched out myself, yawning. Something about this day felt cold and off as though an unseen force was pressing down on me. Ignoring the gnawing feeling in my mind I headed to the shower, before joining others to prepare for the day.I scanned to the many faces walking back and forth around the house in search of Jake but couldn't find him. He had explained the significance of the ceremony earlier. Nonetheless, I fel

    LYRA'S POV"Arrh.." I grunted as a sharp pain stabbed me in my ribs. I gradually sat upright on the bed, holding tight on my side. How did I get here? The last thing I remembered was being sucked up by the moon's energy and then transforming into my wolf. Its thick white furs swayed as I shook them, seeing the surroundings from Tara's view was indeed the highlight of the night until Lucio struck. My head pounded so badly against my skull and my throat was as dry as sandpaper. As the daze gradually cleared off my eyes, I shifted my gaze to see those standing around me in the room.A pang of anger cut through my chest as their faces came into focus. Lisa and Tessa stood by the foot of the bed with what seemed like remorse or perhaps regrets in their eyes. One more person was remaining. Where is that Liar? I screamed in my head as my eyes darted to the other side of the room to see him standing stiffly by the window with his arms crossed. Patches of plaster stuck to his face with banda

    LYRA'S POV“Oh my God…” I shuddered. My heart seemed like they were about to fail at this point. I clutched tight, holding it together as I took, slow, deep breath. “The maids were right." I muttered to myself. "They were not gossip after all,” My voice broke. “You were going to do the same to me too, didn’t you?”Jake shook as if my words physically punched him. “No,” he whispered almost inaudibly. “I would never—”“But you did.” I retorted, my eyes burned with unshed tears. I bit hard on my lips to stop it from trembling."And you!" I barked, turning to Lisa, who stood frozen, tears finally streaming down my cheeks. “I believed you! You were meant to be my friend but you lied to me,” I accused, my voice breaking. “You told me she died in childbirth.” My fists clenched. “You all lied.”Lisa opened her mouth, but whatever excuse she had, I didn’t want to hear it. The weight of betrayal was unbearable. Everything I had believed, everyone I had trusted stabbed me right in the chest.I b

    LYRA’S POVI was caught In a dilemma; walking out of the door or going back to get answers. My gaze shifted to Lisa who stood completely stunned. Just a few weeks ago she had suspected I was pregnant but I waved it off. I instinctively held my hand over my belly not sure what to feel or say. Why is everything going into total disarray in the twinkle of an eye? I was about to walk out that door and never return, now this? What if this was another lie to keep me from leaving? A jumble of thoughts clashed in my mind like the waves of a troubled sea.I shifted my gaze to Selene. She had been in charge of me since I started noticing these changes but I felt it was just my wolf abilities stirring it up. If this was true, she could have told me before now, I thought.Secondly, somehow Lisa had seen it, but I refused to believe it. What have I gotten myself into? “Tell me this is not true. Jake is lying right?” I asked with my brows furrowed and my voice low and etched with mixed emotions.

    LYRA'S POVMy hands shook as I pressed them against my belly, a subconscious act of protection, trying to feel my baby's presence.I'm such a terrible mother. How couldn't I have known I had a life growing inside of me? "I'm so sorry my sweet little pea," I muttered to my foetus, clutching on my belly.A knock at the door snapped me from my thoughts, breaking the mother-child moment I was having. I didn’t need to look up to know who it was. Her ayurvedic scent already gave her off. Selene. I redressed myself in an upright position.She stepped in without waiting for me to grant her access, her expression unreadable as always. I clenched my jaw with a serious look. I wasn’t in the mood for another lecture, and I certainly wasn’t in the mood to hear her try to justify Jake’s actions“I don't want to see anyone!” I snapped at her.“I guess there are exceptions to who you wouldn't want to see,” Selene responded as she walked into my room.“Why are you here?” I retorted, visibly angry.“We

My uncle, Logan's voice thundered through the night.Logan was my father's junior brother whom I grew up to know as a man of the people, a peace lover, and most of all, my father's trusted Beta. He had taught me my combat skills and today, I stand face to face with him, not as my loving uncle but as a villain who wanted so dearly to rule over the werewolf clan.“What do you want from my sister?” I shot back at him, ready to pounce at any moment. My hands trembled as he slowly walked towards me with a sinister smile on his face.“This is not your fight, boy. All you have to do is tell me where Lyra is and I'd walk away and you'd still have blood running through your veins,” he said, tapping my shoulders. His voice was low but laced with every bit of evil. My stomach twisted, swirling violently, and I almost threw up. The metal scent of blood oozed all over him as he drew closer to me.

    ELLA'S POVBetrayal had never been a choice—it had been a necessity. My father once said that adage to me. It never made sense then, but I think it does now.My father had informed me weeks back that the Blood Moon Pack had stormed Arakis, my home. My father, Alpha Ben, had fought, but it hadn’t been enough. Alpha Leo took everything—our land, our people, our freedom. But worst of all, he took Jimmy, my little brother.To save his life, I had to carry out a difficult task. Was it that difficult? Somehow not! Mating to Jake was more of an arranged marriage that did little to save my pack when it mattered the most. I had to give him in.The cold breeze of the night bit at my skin as I slipped past the boundaries of Shadowclaw Pack, careful not to be spotted by the security guards. I had applied mint to help mask my scent from the ferocious watchdogs that guarded the border. I properly tucked my hair into the black hoodie I wore, and a long black cloak to blend my shadows with the dark.

I have worked my ass off, my sweat, my blood, yet you keep taking credit for all! No acknowledgement! Wait till I take everything from you and have you stripped on the street,” I spat venom at Leo in my head, still maintaining a submissive look. I nodded with my gaze fixed on him, with a forced smile, while I tightened my fist away from his view.“I am happy you're beginning to see reasons with me, your Grace. I'd reach out immediately to Zephyr. I am certain he would be able to give me more insight about the pendant,” my voice rang with so much excitement as I stood up to exit the bar.My phone buzzed in my pocket, I reached out to see it was Ella. I took a sharp glance at Leo. Luckily his face was buried in his phone. Clicking on the message icon, I realized it was Ella.I AM YET TO GET AN UPDATE ON THAT BITCH. WHY IS SHE STILL BREATHING?

All that mattered to me at this point was to hurry off and get Lyra out of this before she got hurt or worst of all, taken.I disabled the last rogue coming at me before racing off to find Lyra. “Lyra!” I called out, darting through the woods with branches and leaves, slapping and tearing my chest as I ran. All I heard was the sound of dry leaves crushing under my feet as I raced till I heard a scream, my heart stopped. “Lyra!” I whispered, my eyes popped out in fear. “No no no,” I growled, changing my direction towards the east wing.What my eyes saw made me halt in my tracks. I lost my breath for a minute. Bodies littered all over the place. “What the hell happened?” I whispered to myself, my eyes darting from left to right when I spotted Tara, standing on a hill.Her thick white fur was stained with

    LYRA’S POV“Tara! Tara! Stop!” I yelled, my heart racing. I couldn’t control her, all she wanted to do was to tear out of me and attack. As the protector of the pendant and the bearer, Tara would never take any chances with anyone who posed a threat to me, even if it was my brother.YOU NEED TO STAY BACK AND LEARN HOW TO CONTROL YOUR WOLF AND YOUR ABILITIESMy mind reeled back to what Selene had told me back in ShadowClaw. Maybe I should have listened. Ever since Tara returned, she was no longer the sweet little pup I used to know. Though she was still sweet, but, a lot of chances had taken place. Changes I couldn’t control.“What are you doing, Lyra?” Leo asked, his voice trembling as his gaze faltered. “I don’t know Leo, just drop the damn pendant!” I yelled again, this time I felt Tara connecting to the Pendant. “Wha…What are you doing?” I muttered inaudibly. Tara’s body began to heat up inside of me. I knew what she was doing. “Arrh! Leo’s voice echoed into the night with a loud

His gaze shifted to my hand in shock. “What the hell happened to you, sir?” He queried, examining my wrapped arm.“It’s nothing, I got burnt but it's just a mild scratch,” I responded casually, hoping it would stop him from asking further questions but Aemond was one inquisitive individual. “You may leave us now, Nurse Zoey,” I shifted my gaze to the nurse, who nodded, packing up her first aid box. Aemond and I just stared at each other for the period she was putting her things in order.“These a

Stop! You are embarrassing yourself! You are embarrassing me!” Ella scolded as she ran towards me, struggling to keep herself balanced on her heels.I spun around, my face contoured into a non friendly form. I stormed towards her as though I was going to take out my frustration on her. “Don't fucking tell me to stop! I knew what I saw!” I yelled at her face, saliva spreading into the air. “She was right there! I saw her! And thanks to your bullshit, I'm sure she saw me too! Gosh!” I clawed my finger into my head, holding it tightly. “If you hadn't insisted I accompany you to get some jewelry, I wouldn't be in this compromising situation.“I’m sure she'd be thinking we are likely getting married. You've always wanted h

    LEO’S POVMy thoughts had constantly been haunted by Aemond's words. Just last night, I could barely sleep. What if he was right? Would giving in or somehow considering his proposal make me evil? This is what every Alpha yearned for! To be in charge, to be the controller of vast nations.“No!” I subconsciously barked out loud. “Do not turn yourself into a villain! Let this slide! Get a hold on yourself, Leo!” I spoke to myself, walking up and down the room with a glass of red wine in my hand.“What if Aemond was lying? On the contrary, what does he stand to gain from all of this? It's not like he is a power-thirsty individual. If he wanted this ability for himself, he wouldn't have informed me,” I gave voice to my thoughts. “I don't know about you, but I can't imagine possessing double the strength I have now! Double of my size and bite force,” Zeus, my wolf snarled in my mind. “I don't think you understand how powerful the legendary white wolf is! It is the raw energy of the moon g

The angry sales attendant spat at me, as she picked up her merchandise from the floor, though I didn't stand to apologize. “I'm so sorry,” I whispered almost inaudibly in between my heavy gasps as I ran towards Caspian. “Sorry, excuse me!” I said, pushing through onlookers and those purchasing some items.What the hell was he doing here? He didn't even have the dignity to search for me. How long has it been since I disappeared? Here he is, splashing luxury on a traitor! How demeaning can this get? Jake will always remain Jake! A manipulator!“Lyra? Lyra, is that you?” Jake's voice came behind me.“Jake, where are you going? You can't be running after someone just like that! Stop embarrassing yourself! You are creating a scene!” A second voice came through. It was Ella. She also joined the chase but not to find out if it was truly me, instead, she tri

    LYRA'S POVIt has been a rough couple of days for me since Caspian walked out on me at the hospital, not saying a word after overhearing the doctor mention my pregnancy. The cold look on my face, the disbelief, the disappointment etched on it was soul-shattering for me. No questions, no accusations, no goodbye—just silence and distance. That silence now filled every corner of my mind.I guess I should’ve told him. Maybe I should’ve been honest from the beginning, but everything was happening so fast. I was completely swept off by his charm, so deep I didn't pay attention to my head.I sighed, looking at my phone screen for the umpteenth time today before sliding into my pocket, straightening my shoulder, and stepping outside of the house.The wind gradually became cooler by the minute with dark clouds beginning to form in the sky. "I think it's going to rain today," I whispered to myself, taking a look at my phone again, hissing in disappointment. I blew into my hands, rubbing them

    LEO'S POVI stood under the shade of the stone arch that framed the training grounds, the midday sun casting broken light through the dense canopy above. I was lost, totally torn between anger and confusion. What is he even saying? Lyra? How is that even possible? My mind was a jumble of thought that I didn't notice the condensed liquid of the energy drink in my hand, dripping down my wrist. "She was the vessel. The Moon’s Chosen. If you don’t take the power, someone else will. You deserve it. You’re their legacy. She’s just the bearer."The words he said somehow kept echoing in my head twisting inside my gut like a knife."How did you get to know?" I had asked him, curiosity etching in my tone. "How come my better now knows more than I do?"He'd smiled that sly, venom-laced grin of his and said, "When the men we had sent to abduct Jake's Luna brought her in, Zephyr had to take her with an enchanted collar. I'm sure you know what that means?" Aemond asked, raising his brows slightl
