LYRA'S POV

The driver killed the engine at the end of the driveway in front of the pack house. I picked up my belongings still looking at Leo unsure what he had up his sleeves. “You know I hate suspense. Tell me already! What is this surprise?” I pouted playfully pushing the door open.

“The last time I remember, you cherished the word surprise more than your name,” Leo teased, slamming the door shut. He returned my side glance with a smirk before shifting his gaze from me.

“Welcome Miss Lyra, kindly walk with me this way,” a middle-aged lady greeted me with a bow before freeing me of the items I held in my hand. One would think she was a younger lady given her striking physical appearance. The wavy brown hair, a pair of beautiful green eyes, and a well-toned body. Most of all, a dazzling smile.

I flashed a soft smile back at her responding to her greetings.

I pointed to a group of men standing at the far end of the driveway, their eyes shaded by oversized sunglasses, puffing Cuban

    LYRA’S POVI felt my heart skip a beat instantly. "What?" I exclaimed inaudibly.How did he find me? I could feel my heart threatening to jump out of my chest. Standing right in front of me with my shoes in his hand was the guy I noticed earlier at the party—the one with the charming smile and an irresistible physic. He held my shoes up in the air, glancing at me with a look that made me shake.I stood upright, dusting off dirt and pieces of flower thorns hanging on my dress. Embarrassed at being caught barefoot and breathless in the middle of a chase I couldn’t even explain.“Uhm—no, I wasn’t running,” I said, laughing nervously and smoothing my hair. “I just…I just thought I saw something back there,” I forced the smile to remain on my face, pointing back to the spot where he caught me.His brows furrowed. “In the dark? Barefoot?” he queried.“Well,” I chuckled awkwardly, “I thought I saw someone running through the garden. But I guess it was just in my head. Or the wine.”He steppe

    ELLA’S POVIt's been over a week since Lyra's disappearance from Shadowclaw. Everything and everyone feels tense. Alpha Jake has mounted strict surveillance and curfew. One had to be more calculative before they did anything.That being the situation, I was more concerned with the fact Lyra turned out to be Leo's lost sister and suddenly he had stopped his pursuit of Alpha Jake. Probably because he is the father of Lyra’s unborn baby which spells doom for me.Lyra knows I organized the kidnap and Leo must have filled her in on what transpired. She'd likely come for me and my brother Jimmy who is in a lot more danger than he was before now.“I have to act up quickly before I get caught up in all of it,” I whispered to myself, sipping a glass of fruit juice I had in front of me. The buzz of my cell phone made me flinch back to reality. I reached for it and my expression suddenly darkened when I saw who it was. “Aemond? What does he want from me again?” I grumbled before taking the call.

    AEMOND'S POV "Good night Alpha and Luna George!" I greeted them with a bow as the dignitaries filed out of the building. Different sounds of exotic cars echoed in the night as they drove off. Slowly, the residual energy of the night began to die down. It was time to locate Leo and his sister. I sucked in a deep breath and made my way to the sitting room.I pushed open the door to find Leo and Lyra sitting by the fireplace gisting and smiling. The moment I stepped inside, their conversation dropped into a hush. Lyra was seated with a wave of excitement on her face as her fingers grazed the fancy box she held in her hands. Leo sat beside her with his arms crossed, brows arched as he watched her gosh over her new gadget. His eyes snapped to me the moment I entered.“Where have you been?” he asked, his voice lined with suspicion, but cloaked under the veil of calm authority.I bowed slightly, careful to keep my expression unreadable. “I was taking care of a few things. Making sure the gu

    LYRA'S POV I rolled over to the other side of the bed with a soft groan, stretching out the remnants of my sleep from my lazy bones. My finger slid underneath my fluffy pillow, brushing against something smooth. I scoffed, trying to figure out what it was at first. Then, I grabbed onto it, pulling it out as I moved my body towards the other side of the bed.Slowly, peeling my eyes open, I looked down to see it was the complimentary card Caspian had handed me at the homecoming party.I ran my fingertip across the engraved letters on the card remembering how confident his eyes had been, how he teased me for running without shoes on. A small smile curled at the side of my lips before I could even realize it.The screen lock of my phone beeped open as my index finger rolled to the fingerprint sensor. My thumb hovered for a second before punching in the numbers on my screen then, I hit the dial icon followed by a ring sound from the other end.My chest tightened immediately when the call

    AEMOND’S POVThe overlapping voices of the council members chorused within the room. I leaned back in my chair, supporting my jaw with my fist while slowly tapping my pen on the laid-out mahogany table. As much as I tried to pay attention, everything they said barely registered in my mind. I sat on Alpha Leo's seat, imagining how great it would feel sitting not as a representative but as the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack."I think we need to sell off our shares with Trade Bear Investment Company," Delta Stark said, his voice firm and practical."It's been all losses the last two quarters, and we can't afford to keep bleeding money," Delta Blake added.A chorus of murmurs followed—affirmations, worried nods, even a few anxious glances exchanged between members.I barely paid attention. My phone vibrated in my pocket, jolting me out of my wild, far-gone imagination. I slid it out casually, shielding the screen with my hand.ZEPHYR: MEET ME NOW IN MY QUARTERS. IT'S URGENT.My brows knitt

    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

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.

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

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?

    LEO’ S POVWhy are younger siblings so difficult to handle? I thought, tearing through rogues coming at me from the front gate. I had no idea who they were and why they were attacking. 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

    LEO'S POV“Easy!” I winced in pain as the nurse gently wrapped medicated gauze around my palm.“Sorry sir,” the nurse responded to my reaction.I hadn't spoken to nor seen Lyra since the incident last night. “How bad is the burn?” I asked.“It is just a first-degree burn sir, you should be fine in a couple of weeks, with proper dressing, some analgesic, and antibiotics,” she responded, clipping the loose edge of the bandage.“Good morning sir,” Aemond greeted, walking in on me and the nurse. 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
