Lyra's POV

The tent was quiet. The kind of quiet that made you feel like the world outside didn’t exist. I sat on the floor, leaning against the soft fabric wall, rubbing my belly. My hands moved slowly, tracing the curve of my growing bump.

The babies were active today. I could feel tiny kicks, soft movements that reminded me of the lives I carried within and the power that came from the lives I carried. It was a strange feeling and it was both comforting and heavy. These little lives depended on me.

I sighed, closing my eyes. For their sake, I needed to be safe. I couldn't let myself be hurt and it was for their sake.

My thoughts were all over the place. Damian, Eloisa, the wolf hunters...everything was a mess. But here, in this moment, it was just me and them. My babies.

As my palms rested on my belly, something strange happened. A warm sensation spread from my hands, deep into my skin. It wasn’t normal. It wasn’t just the usual warmth of my body. This was...different.

    Rylan's POVThe evening air was cool, and the camp was quiet. Most of the others had settled for the night, but I couldn’t rest. My thoughts were heavy, filled with Lyra. I stood near the edge of the camp, staring into the dark woods, when I heard footsteps behind me.“Couldn’t sleep?” Caspian’s voice was low but steady.I turned to see him, his tall frame outlined by the faint light of the campfire. Caspian had been my friend and trusted warrior for few years, but I felt he understood me more than anyone I'd met in recent times. If anyone could handle the storm in my head, it was him.“No,” I said simply.He stepped closer, folding his arms. “What’s on your mind? Want to share?”I hesitated. Caspian wasn’t one for emotional talks, but he was loyal, always willing to listen.“It’s Lyra,” I admitted.He raised an eyebrow. “Lyra?”I nodded, looking back at the trees. “I can’t stop thinking about her, Caspian. She’s... she's in my head whether I want it or not.”He didn’t say anything, j

    Eloisa's POVThe moonlight poured into my room as I looked into the mirror. My reflection was calm, but my mind was far from it. If I wanted control, I needed allies. Not just anyone, but powerful ones. Someone like Vincent.Vincent was the second in command to Damian but he was weak enough to watch the other of things move slowly from what it'd been when Damian first left the pack to go and search for Lyra. But now it occured to me that he was perhaps planning something that I didn't know of. What if he had plans?I had to get him on my side.Vincent had always been loyal to Damian, but loyalty was fragile. It could bend, even break, with the right push. Tonight, I would push.I called for him. He didn't waste time. He came to me as soon as he was called and soon he arrived. His tall, broad figure filled the doorway, his face unreadable.“You wanted to see me, Eloisa?”“Yes, Vincent,” I said with a smile. “Come in.”He stepped inside, standing stiffly as if unsure of my intentions.

    Lyra's POVI could have stayed silent as I sat down on a roughly made stool Olivia had found for me to sit on. I could have acted like I wasn't anywhere close. Or that Rylan didn't seize a few seconds to look at me occasionally while he spoke to Caspian and Finn, giving them specific orders on things to do while we stayed in the camp.Rylan was still there, speaking with some of his men. His voice was steady, commanding. He always seemed to know what to do. That’s why I trusted him. But this time, I had to tell him what I felt.“Rylan,” I called, my voice low but commanding attention.He turned, his brows furrowed as he walked toward me. I didn't hold his gaze. I wanted him to reach me so I wouldn't have to let my voice be so loud when I told him what I wanted to tell him. Behind him, Caspian and Finn were silent. They respected me enough and wouldn't interrupt when the alpha was talking to me.Rylan reached me and I tensed for a bit. Feeling his eyes on me and having my emotions stra

    Eloisa's POVKaius had his mouth all over me and even if I wanted to make him stop until we were in my chambers, my body wanted more. My body clamoured for more and he knew this. He understood what it meant to make me feel wanted. He knew how to get my sexual life brimming and that was simply magical.“Kaius….stop. someone might come out here and find us like this,”I said between gasps, but he did not seem to have heard me. His hand went under my dress and he slowly started to lifted it. My breathing became heavier and my panic could be heard in my voice when I spoke again.“Kaius….we have to get to my chambers or this might actually be a problem.” I was frantic this time, knowing well that this was not the image I needed to portray.“I could take you right here and right now and no one would say anything. You're the Luna and you can do whatever the hell you want to do,” he muttered against my skin as he nibbled on me, leaving small bites on me.I clung to his shoulder. For while, I

    Rylan's POVFor two days, the camp had been tense. Everyone expected Damian to show up, but he didn’t. I kept scanning the woods, expecting to see his men at any moment, but the forest remained quiet. Too quiet.I sat near the fire, sharpening my blade. My men were restless, the air around us heavy with anticipation. Lyra stayed in her tent most of the time, probably trying to keep calm for the sake of her unborn children.“He’s not coming,” Caspian said as he walked up to me, his arms crossed.I glanced at him. “You don’t know that.”“It’s been two days, Rylan,” he said, sitting down beside me. “If he was coming, he’d be here by now. Maybe he lost our trail.”I frowned, considering his words. It was possible. Damian might’ve taken a wrong turn in the dense woods or been slowed down by something else.“We can’t stay here forever,” Caspian added. “We’re low on supplies, and the men are getting antsy.”He was right. We couldn’t wait any longer. “Fine,” I said, standing up. “We’ll move c

    Damian's POV The air was thick with the smell of blood and smoke as the last of the hunters retreated into the woods. My body ached from the relentless fighting, every muscle straining to keep moving, but the battle was over, for now.Rylan and I stood amidst the carnage, surrounded by the broken bodies of hunters and our own injured. For a moment, neither of us said a word. The weight of the situation hung heavy between us.“We pushed them back,” Rylan said, his tone neutral, as though we weren’t enemies.I nodded, wiping blood from my face. “You've been out here in the wild for long enough. You should know that they always come back. Didn't they attack a while ago?”He had a frown on his face for a while but he said nothing. I took a deep breath.“They always come back. They never defeat us. That's a consolation.”I scoffed “If I hadn't happened to be here at the time they showed up, you'd be as good as dead. You and the lot of your folks.”He didn’t reply, just glanced at his me

    Rylan's POVThe sun was barely up when I rose from my very rest. My body felt sore, aching from the battle, but there was no time to relax. My men had already started getting about the day, wounds were tended to and there were preparations for food for the very Young ones. I could hear them talking quietly, their voices tired, but grateful we had survived and this time with just six injured men and all the kids and women safe. I walked across the camp, my eyes scanning the area. It was hard to ignore the tension that still lingered. Even though the battle was over, it felt like things were only getting started.I knew I had to speak with Raphael, the vampire leader who had come with Damian. I wasn’t sure what I wanted from him, but I couldn’t let them stay here without knowing where they stood. Damian had already made his move by allowing them to join his forces, but I wasn’t about to let them hang around if they were only loyal to him.I approached their side of the camp, where Ra

    Rylan's POVThe camp was quieter than usual that morning. We had been here for days, still unsure of what to do. Damian had not moved again, and his men seemed content to stay where they were. The tension between us was thick, the kind you could almost touch, but no one spoke about it openly. We didn’t want to slit each other’s throats, but we didn’t exactly want peace either.Lyra was still keeping to herself. She hadn’t come near me, nor had she gone to Damian. She stayed close to Olivia most of the time, keeping her distance from everyone else. It was hard to know what she was thinking. I wanted to talk to her, to understand where her head was, but I couldn’t make sense of her silence. It was frustrating, but I wasn’t going to push her. Not yet.I was standing at the head of the camp when Caspian approached me, his face serious.“Rylan,” he said quietly, pulling me to my feet. “We have a problem.”I followed him to a quieter part of the camp, away from the others, my eyes scanning

    Rylan’s POVThe sky was darkening when Damian and his men arrived at the WhiteMoon pack. I was already waiting by the gates, watching them walk toward me. There was no fanfare, no noise, just the solid sound of their boots hitting the dirt. Damian moved with purpose, as he always did since I'd grown familiar with him. His eyes scanned the surroundings, taking everything in like he had to make sure everything was in place. He had been gone for some time. Now, he was back.He stopped in front of me, his gaze steady as always. “It’s done,” he said.I nodded. I knew what that meant. “Kaius?”“Dead,” Damian said without hesitation. “Ilena poisoned him. She tried to take control of the Blood Nest. She failed.”I didn’t need to ask what had happened to her. I already knew. It wasn’t hard to figure out. “And the pack?” I asked.“Secured,” Damian replied. “The traitors are gone. The loyal ones remain.”I took a breath and glanced around. The WhiteMoon pack was in better shape than I thought it

  • Betrayed By The Alpha ~ Claimed By The Rogue   Chapter 141

    Lyra’s POVThe WhiteMoon pack was only just beginning to get past the chaos of war. The battle was over, but the scars it left behind still lingered. The dead had been buried, the wounded tended to, and the pack was trying to move forward, but the unease was still there. A shadow of what had been lost.And yet, there was one thing left unfinished—one loose end that needed to be dealt with.Eloisa.I didn't think I wanted to have her executed, despite all she'd done to me and what she'd tried to do to my babies. She was someone I'd loved but who had also turned around to hate me with all her might. Damian wanted her dead so she would not cause any more harm, Rylan said it was completely up to me to do whatever I wanted to do with her since I was the one who had defeated her anyway. My softness was getting the best of me. I didn't want to hurt Eloisa, the knowledge of what she'd tried to do to me didn't change this either. The moment I could, I made my way to the pack dungeons.

    Damian's POVThe journey back to the Blood Nest pack felt like it took forever. My mind was clouded with thoughts of everything that had transpired. The battle at WhiteMoon had been brutal, but we had won. Lyra had proven herself time and time again, and the victory was ours. Still, there was a gnawing feeling in my gut, the knowledge that things were not yet over. The fight for power and control had only just begun.When we finally arrived at the Blood Nest pack, I felt the tension in the air. There was a heaviness in the atmosphere, a thick sense of uncertainty hanging over everything. My pack had been through so much in the last few days, and now, with me back at the helm, there was no time to rest. I needed to find out what had happened in my absence, and I needed answers, fast.I had no idea what I was about to walk into.As soon as I entered the pack house, I was met by one of my most trusted men. His face was grim, his posture stiff with the weight of the news he had to deliver

    Rylan's POVThe battle was over. The dust had settled, but the air still carried the heavy scent of blood, sweat, and destruction. The WhiteMoon pack was battered and bruised, but they were alive. And that, at least, was something to hold onto. We had won, but at what cost? The warriors were all tired, their faces painted with exhaustion, their wounds still fresh. The camp was in disarray, but we had managed to push the enemy back.I found myself walking along the outskirts of the camp with Caspian and Finn. The battlefield felt quieter now, the distant sounds of the survivors tending to their injured and picking up the pieces of what was left. The weight of the day sat heavy on my shoulders. The fight had been brutal, and while I was glad it was over, it didn’t feel like a victory just yet. The aftermath was always the hardest part.Damian had gone back to the Blood Nest pack to reclaim his position as Alpha. There was no question about it. Kaius had taken control while Damian was go

    Damian's POVThe fight had ended, but the air was thick with tension. Blood, sweat, and dirt mixed together, leaving the battlefield in a grim haze. The clashing of weapons had died down, and the warriors around me began to gather, taking stock of what was left. The battle was won, but it wasn’t over yet.Eloisa lay on the ground, her wolf form battered and bruised but not defeated entirely. She wasn’t dead. She wasn’t going to die—not by my hand, not by Lyra’s. But she had lost. Her fortification had crumbled, and her strength had faltered under the weight of Lyra’s relentless defense. Still, she lay there, struggling to breathe, her gaze fixed on us with a defiant hatred.I stood beside Lyra, watching her. She had been the one to bring down Eloisa, the one to push her to the edge. But Lyra had stopped short. She didn’t want to kill Eloisa. As much as Eloisa had tried to destroy us, to destroy her, Lyra had shown mercy."Don’t," Lyra said, her voice steady. "We don’t need to kill her

    Lyra’s POVThe battle raged on around me. I could hear the clash of swords, the roar of warriors, and the sounds of werewolves fighting for their lives. But it was all distant noise. I wasn’t focused on the battle around me; my attention was fixed on one thing—the one thing that mattered more than anything right now.Damian.I had sneaked out of the safety of the pack house, determined to be where the fight was. A guard had tried to stop me, insisted that I stay hidden, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t just stand back and wait while the people I cared about fought. I needed to be there.But then, I saw her. Eloisa.The sight of me stopped Eloisa in her tracks.Eloisa was in her wolf form, her body was unusually large and fortified with the power she had gained through her twisted ways. I could see the raw strength emanating from her, and it was clear that she wasn’t just fighting to win. She was fighting to break Damian. Eloisa was more than just a rival. She was a woman bent on destro

    Damian’s POVThe battlefield was madness. The air was thick with the scent of blood, sweat, and death. Wolves lunged at each other, claws tearing through flesh, growls and screams blending together. The sound of steel meeting steel rang out as warriors fought with everything they had. The ground beneath us was already stained red, bodies littering the area.I fought my way through the chaos, blade in hand, striking down anyone who dared to stand in my path. My wolf snarled within me, pushing me forward, demanding vengeance. Rylan fought beside me, moving with the same deadly focus. We had battled side by side before, but this time, it was different. We weren’t just fighting an enemy—we were fighting our own.Something was wrong.I could see it in the way some of the WhiteMoon warriors moved. Their attacks were slower than usual, hesitant, as if they weren’t truly trying to kill. Otmes barely lifted their weapons, stepping back instead of forward. And then tmee were the ones who did no

    Rylan's POVThe battlefield was a scene of pure chaos. The air smelled thick with blood and smoke. Wolves fought, teeth bared, fur flying. The sound of swords clashing with flesh echoed around me, drowning out all but the screams and roars. The earth was soaked with blood, and bodies littered the ground in every direction. I could hear the growls of shifting wolves, mixed with the clash of steel, the air alive with tension and fury.I moved quickly through the battle, my feet light but my strikes deadly. My blade cut through the enemies with the precision of a wolf on the hunt. My body felt alive with adrenaline, muscles coiling and releasing in perfect rhythm as I fought beside Damian. His movements were just as fluid, just as fast. We were a team, working together like we had done so many times before.But despite the intensity of the battle, something didn’t sit right.I noticed it immediately—the hesitation in the movements of some of the WhiteMoon warriors. They were faltering, t

    Eloisa's POV The battlefield was exactly as I had imagined—chaotic, brutal, and perfect for my victory. The scent of blood and sweat filled the air, thick and intoxicating. The ground trembled beneath the weight of charging warriors, their roars mixing with the clash of steel and the growls of shifting wolves. It was a beautiful sight—one I had long waited for.From my position on the hill, I could see everything. My forces, my carefully trained warriors, moved with purpose, cutting down those who stood against me. Their strikes were swift, precise, efficient. Every blade that sank into enemy flesh was a step closer to my rightful place.I had planned this well.I had spent months planting the seeds of doubt, whispering truths and lies into the ears of the weak-minded within the WhiteMoon pack. And now, those whispers bore fruit.The hesitation in the steps of some warriors, the uncertainty in their eyes—I saw it all. Some barely lifted their weapons, while others stepped back from t
