Rylan's POV

The celebration of special gifts from the moon goddess was one of the few things that the rogues looked forward to and it didn't matter when it was to hold, they always ensured it happended. I'd left organizing it to those who really did have special gifts, especially those who had helped the pack in the past with their unique powers. It was always held each year and I appreciated them for upholding the culture.

Last night, I'd seen the lady call Lyra to come to the circle and I'd seen how the power from her had been displayed, shocking even her.

The others had believed that she was powerful and they wanted her to stay in the pack because her powers would lead us and also help us in the future like theirs had done.

I'd been watching from where I stood and I saw the confusion on Lyra's face as she left the crowd.

She'd been startled upon seeing me. But she'd also been relieved when she learned that I didn't pay attention to a lot of superstition around us.

    Damian's POVThe road back to the Blood Nest Pack felt longer than I remembered. The air was heavy, filled with tension that pressed down on me and my men. Nobody spoke as we walked, our footsteps steady but cautious. Each step felt like a reminder of what I had lost and what I intended to take back.I couldn’t stop thinking about the report from the messenger. “She’s calling herself the new ruler or the pack,” he had said. “She’s tightened security and taken full control. She tells them that you abandoned the pack to chase after your selfish desires l.” The words echoed in my mind, making my blood boil.Eloisa. Weak, scheming Eloisa, had claimed my pack, my position. She had no right. None of this belonged to her. She was nothing without me, and now she dared to take what was mine. She was supposed to be next to me and only speak when I gave the order for her to speak and act when I wanted her to act.I clenched my fists, trying to keep my anger in check. “We’ll take back the pack an

    Eloisa's POVThe noise outside grew louder. I stood by the window, peeking through the curtains. Damian's men were advancing, their movements calculated and precise. My guards were faltering, surrendering one by one. My chest tightened as I realized it was only a matter of time before Damian made it to the pack house.I turned to the guards standing inside with me. “Leave,” I said sharply.One of them hesitated. “But Luna—”“Go,” I snapped, my voice firm. “You must not be here when Damian arrives. I need to handle this alone.”Reluctantly, they nodded and left. The heavy door closed behind them, leaving me in the silence of the grand hall. I adjusted my dress, smoothing the fabric, and sat down on the edge of the table. My mind was a mess. A part of me feared for the worst. What if he came in and didn't give me audience that I needed?I took a deep breath, hoping the men I'd just dismissed would leave the pack house in time so they would not be found heavily armed as they were by Dami

    Damian's POVThe Blood Nest pack had a new feeling now but the weight of familiarity settled on me like an old cloak. The scent of the woods and the crispness of the air were the same, but something about the place felt off. It wasn’t the walls or the structures, but the atmosphere. The pack felt... different.I couldn’t put my finger on it at first, but as I walked further, it became clearer. My pack wasn’t the same as when I left it. It didn't matter that the men had surrendered. It didn't matter that they had now come back to their senses, something still felt off.The guards stood rigid, their eyes cautious, as though unsure of their loyalty. The pack members moved about, but there was a stiffness to their actions, a hesitation that hadn’t been there before.Eloisa was waiting for me in the courtyard. She had the same confident stance I had grown used to, but her eyes told a different story. They flickered with urgency, almost desperation. I hadn't had time to digest her story the

    Lyra's POVI knew Damian wouldn’t give up so easily. He was stubborn, always needing things to go his way. Even when I left the Blood Nest Pack, I knew he wouldn’t just let me go. But I didn’t care. I had my reasons for leaving, and I wasn’t going to let him control me again.It had been peaceful in the camp, but I always felt like something was coming. Rylan had been extra cautious, keeping guards near my tent and around the camp. He said it was to keep me and the others safe, but I knew he was worried about Damian. He wouldn’t admit it, but I could see it in his eyes.The fact that Damian had just packed up and left even before he had the time to speak with me and try to convince me to go with him was a little puzzling. I'd been keeping my distance from his camp and from Rylan but after he'd left with his folks, I'd gone to Rylan to ask if there was something they had probably agreed to that I didn't know of which had led Damian to leave.Then, one evening, one of the rogues came ru

    Lyra's POVThe event of the past two days had left me a little shaken. Knowing that Damian was not giving up the chase for me was as sickening as it was annoying. I couldn't go to the Blood Nest pack for any reason. Not even to give him a stern warning to leave me alone.“That'd be the dumbest move ever,” Snow said with a small chuckle. I sighed. Of course I knew it was dumb and that was exactly why I wasn't going to be doing it. It was pointless anyway. He already knew my stance. He knew I didn't want to come back to the Blood Nest pack.Olivia was sitting across from me, her eyes filled with curiosity. She had always been the one to ask questions, to dig into things, even when I didn’t want to talk about them. She had a way to learn things. It helped me feel relieved. Each time I spoke to her, I felt like some of my troubles simply dissipated.“Why does Alpha Damian want you back so badly?” she asked, tilting her head.I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. I didn’t want to t

    Damian's POVThe men I'd sent to get Lyra as Eloisa had suggested had not returned yet. I waited for another day and when they didn't return, I decided to meet with the head of my army and tell him to send a few more men to find the others.Eloisa was sitting quietly as she watched me walk up and down the large hall. I didn't discuss my next move with her. I didn't want to.All the while, I cursed the idea. I should not have listened to Eloisa. I should have known better.Just as I walked to the door of the hall, I heard the loud, urgent footsteps advancing.I walked back inside the hall and took a seat to receive whoever was coming.The men I'd sent out came in right after I sat down.They didn't have Lyra with them, from all indications.“What is it?” I demanded, my voice sharp.“I’m afraid things didn't go exactly as planned, alpha. We were caught by Rylan himself and he was going to execute us.”I clenched my fists, feeling a wave of anger rise. “Then how are you standing here ali

    Eloisa's POVThe room was dimly lit, the candles casting flickering shadows on the walls. I paced back and forth, my mind spinning with plans. Everything was falling apart. Damian wasn’t the Alpha I thought he’d be. His hesitation, his indecision, it was making him weak. And Lyra, that insufferable woman, had dared to threaten him.He didn't want to give me a chance to make him see that she couldn't talk to him like that or send a message that was a threat to him.I clenched my fists, anger coursing through me. Lyra thought she could shame me, but she had no idea who she was dealing with.If Damian was too weak and was going to make the other members of the pack see him as a weak alpha, then he was sure to have me step in and show him how things are to be done so that power can be maintained.“I need to take charge of the pack. I need to make him see that this is not how an alpha is supposed to rule a pack.”The sorceress’s voice echoed in my memory: “Bring me the blood of the unborn,

    Rylan's POVThe journey had been long and exhausting. The rogue lands stretched endlessly, and the rough terrain tested even the strongest of us. We needed to move quickly, but the landscape offered little mercy. The only way forward was through the gates of the WhiteMoon Pack.I had heard stories of this pack. Their Alpha, Darius, was known for his cruelty. He cared nothing for his people and ruled with an iron fist. Yet, we had no choice. The other paths were blocked by large rocks, impossible to scale without losing precious time.Not to talk of the fact that the young ones and the old ones among us would not make it across the mighty rocks.As we approached the gates, the sight before me confirmed the rumors. The walls were tall and heavily guarded. The men stationed there looked tired, their faces pale and thin. They were not warriors; they were prisoners of their own pack.I stepped forward, calling out to the guards. “We seek passage through your land. We mean no harm.”The gua

    Lyra's POVThe room was silent except for the soft rustling of the bedding and the quiet hum of Olivia and Mildred as they worked, moving about the room with the same gentle care they always gave the babies. I sat on the edge of the bed, my hands resting in my lap, fingers nervously twisting the fabric of my dress as I stared at the floor. My mind wouldn’t settle.Damian was on my mind."No," I whispered to myself, shaking my head in frustration. "It’s not true. You don’t feel anything for him anymore.""It is true," Snow, my wolf, replied in a calm but insistent voice inside my mind. "You’re still drawn to him. Stop trying to deny it."I bit my lip, trying to hold back the flood of emotions threatening to spill over. "I don’t," I muttered, more to myself than to Snow. "It’s only because he’s the father of my babies. And my former husband. That’s it.""Lyra," Snow said, her voice soft but firm. "You know that’s not the whole truth. You still have feelings for him.

    Damian’s POVAs I left the nursery, I couldn’t help the anger simmering beneath my skin. My fists clenched at my sides as I stomped down the hallway, my chest tight with frustration. The image of Lyra leaning into Rylan, her trust in him so clear, replayed in my mind like a taunt. It stung more than I wanted to admit.It wasn't just a knowledge that he was in love with her. I could see it now. It didn't make it hurt less. If anything, the more I thought of it, the more exasperated I got over the knowledge of it.The way he looked at her, the way he hovered protectively—it was obvious. But seeing Lyra respond to him like that, seeing her find comfort in his presence, was a slap in the face. I’d hoped, prayed even, that she hadn’t fallen for him. Yet, what I saw in that room spoke volumes.They were already a pair, weren’t they? A couple.They are running the pack together after all. What did I expect?The thought tore at my heart, and I felt a pang of jealousy so sharp it almost brough

    Rylan's POVLyra didn't ask for me to keep Damian away from the babies. Later when she said she was calm enough, she asked for Damian to come take a proper look at the babies.But I wasn't sure she'd completely gotten over her anger like she said she had.Standing near the door, I watched Lyra’s body tense, her anger sharp and clear as she confronted Damian again. The same thing she'd said she would not do. She looked so strong, but I knew the pain behind her cold words. I took a deep breath and walked to her side.“Lyra,” I said softly, draping my arm over her shoulders. “You don’t need to do this. Forget that terrible night. Forget what he did. You’re in a better place now.”Her body relaxed against me, just slightly. It wasn’t much, but it was enough for me to feel her leaning into me. I kept my hand there, steady and firm, silently reminding her that she wasn’t alone.Damian turned then, his eyes catching the way we stood together. His jaw tightened, and a frown spread across his

    Lyra's POVThe room was calm, quiet except for the soft voices of Mildred and Olivia as they talked about the babies. I listened, nodding along, but my mind wandered. The boys slept peacefully in their cot, their tiny chests rising and falling, oblivious to the chaos around them.The door creaked open.I looked up sharply, my body immediately tensing. Rylan stepped inside, his expression unreadable, but before I could ask him what he was doing, someone else appeared behind him.Damian.My breath caught, and my chest tightened. The sight of him made my stomach churn. His gaze found mine, and I felt my anger flare instantly. I gripped the arm of my chair, willing myself to stay calm, but it was nearly impossible.“He needed to see the babies, Lyra,” Rylan said, his voice steady.Those words knocked the wind out of me. I felt my anger dissolve, but only slightly. I couldn’t let it fade entirely—not when Damian was standing there, looking at me as if nothing had happened. I clenched my ja

    Eloisa's POVDamian wanted to get his babies. And of course their mother too. There was no way he would bring back babies without their mother.He left me behind. He doesn’t care about me or my position here. He’s going to see Lyra. If he brings her back, she's going to take back her place and I will be kicked out of this pack that I’ve worked so hard to take control of. That’s what I’m worried about. What if he comes back with her? What if she manages to worm her way back into his heart?No. Maybe she didn't want him. But what if he found a way to convince her that she still wanted him?What if she takes revenge on me for what I did? I’ve stolen her place, her title. She’s going to hate me for it. And I don’t know if I can handle it. She was always a threat to me, and now, with Damian gone, she could very well come back and take everything. She could ruin all my plans, and I would be left with nothing.I curl my fingers into a fist, clenching them tight as I try to control my breath

    Damian's POVI stand in the royal pack house, looking around the room they’ve given me. For a moment, I feel a rush of anger. This is not where I belong. I shouldn’t be here, stuck in this foreign place with Rylan in charge. I’m an Alpha. I should be calling the shots. But as I scan the room, the fact that I’m being treated like an Alpha here is hard to ignore.They’ve brought me food, fitting for someone of my status. A roasted leg of lamb, vegetables cooked to perfection, and bread that’s warm, soft, and fresh. It's not what I would have chosen for myself, but I can’t deny that it’s well prepared. It’s almost as if they’ve tried to remind me of my former standing. I hate Rylan, but even I can’t argue with the care they’ve taken to serve me.The food is good. The treatment is what I’m accustomed to. But still, this isn’t my home. This is Rylan’s home. He’s the one with control now, not me. It burns me to think about it. I’ve spent years leading my pack, the Blood Nest Pack and it's a

    Lyra's POV I sat alone in the nursery, staring at the two little faces that were resting peacefully in their cribs. The door to the nursery creaked open, and I turned toward it. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Rylan step into the room. His expression was serious, and there was a weight to his steps, like he was carrying something heavy that he needed to share."Rylan," I greeted, my voice steady but cautious. "What’s going on?"He didn’t answer immediately, his eyes flicking over to the babies, before he met my gaze again. "I need to talk to you about something," he said, his tone firm but calm.I already knew what this was about. There was no need for him to tell me. But I also knew that Rylan had never been one to leave things unsaid, so I didn’t interrupt. I just folded my arms over my chest and waited for him to continue."If it’s about Damian that you let into the pack," I said, trying to keep my voice even, "then you should know by now that I’ve heard. It’s not a secret."R

    Rylan's POVThe grand hall of the pack house was empty, save for a few of my trusted men who had been ordered to stand guard. They glanced up as we passed, their expressions serious but unreadable. I was sure they were as alert as I was. Damian had always been a wildcard, and there was no telling what kind of trouble he might stir up if left unchecked.When we reached the center of the hall, I stopped and turned to face him."Damian," I said, my voice firm, "I’m only letting you into the royal pack house because you claim you’re not here for trouble. You’ve made your intentions clear, and I’m choosing to believe you.”He didn’t speak right away, just watched me, as if sizing me up. It was clear he wasn’t intimidated by me, and why should he be? We had been enemies for years, and yet there was still some mutual respect between us."But let me make something very clear," I added, making sure my words cut through the silence. "I’ve already sent men to comb the woods surrounding the pack.

    Lyra's POVI was pacing back and forth in my room when Olivia pushed the door open. Her face looked tense, and I could tell something was wrong. The air in the room felt heavy, and I could feel my pulse quickening as I turned to face her.“What is it?” I demanded, unable to hide the impatience in my voice.Olivia hesitated, like she was trying to figure out how to deliver the news. That only made me more anxious.“Alpha Damian’s in the pack,” she said finally, the words tumbling out like they had been too heavy to hold back.For a moment, it was like the floor had dropped out from beneath me. Damian? Here? That didn’t make any sense. My heart pounded as a wave of anger rose in my chest.“What do you mean Damian’s in the pack?” I snapped. “How could that even happen? And why would Rylan let him in?”Olivia flinched slightly at the edge in my tone, but she stood her ground. “From what I’ve heard, he came to see the babies,” she explained quickly. “He told Alpha Rylan he’s here for peace
