Damian's POV

I sat alone in my room, surrounded by memories. Old photos, trinkets, and notes lay scattered across the table in front of me. Each piece reminded me of Lyra. Her smile, her laugh, the way her eyes lit up when she was happy. My hands trembled as I picked up a small locket she had once worn. It had been mine to give, and she had cherished it—for a time, at least.

The early days of our mating had been beautiful. We'd wanted to do everything together. We'd loved each other deeply and then we'd had a son together.

Lyra had been the woman of my dreams and I the man of her dreams.

“Until I gave Eloisa a chance to tear me apart,”

Roy, my wolf, stirred inside me. He had been restless all day. “Damian,” he said, his voice gruff yet steady, “you’re spiraling. This isn’t healthy.”

I didn’t answer him. Instead, I stared at a photograph of Lyra and me from years ago. We had been happy then, or at least I had thought so. My chest ached, and my throat felt tight. I wanted her back. I

what a fool! If I were Lyra, there's no way in hell I'd come back knowing "she" is still there.

    Rylan's POVThe moonlight spilled across the White Moon Pack grounds, casting soft silver shadows over the buildings and trees. I stood at the edge of the training field, my hands resting on my hips, watching as a few of the younger wolves practiced their moves. It had been a long day, filled with meetings, patrol updates, and decisions that had to be made for the safety of the pack.But no matter how busy my days were, my mind always circled back to Lyra.It had been over a month since she gave birth to the twins. They were beautiful, tiny miracles that carried so much weight in our world. Yet, they were not the reason I found myself distracted, day and night. It was their mother, Lyra. She was all I could think about, all I wanted.I tried to be patient with her. I knew she was still healing, both physically and emotionally. She had been through so much—more than anyone should ever have to endure. And now, she was here, right with me, in my pack, trying to rebuild her life. I wanted

    Lyra's POVEverywhere I turned in the WhiteMoon pack, there were whispers—low, cautious murmurs among the wolves. They didn’t think I could hear them, but I did. I caught fragments of their conversations when I walked past, pieces of sentences that carried fear, doubt, and judgment.“Damian won’t just let her stay here...”“What if he comes for her? For the babies?”“She should go back to him. He’s her mate, isn’t he?”Each word stung like a blade. I couldn’t ignore the unease that had settled over the pack, the way the tension seemed to ripple through everyone. Wolves who had once greeted me warmly now avoided my gaze. Some still showed loyalty to Rylan and me, their support unwavering. But others… others saw Damian as a wronged mate and father, a man simply fighting to reclaim what was his.It made my stomach churn.I sat in my chambers, the twins sleeping peacefully in their cribs while the wet nurse prepared their next feeding. My hands trembled as I folded the same blanket over a

    Eloisa's POV The day was quiet, but there was something off about the air. I could feel it the moment I stepped out of my chambers and walked through the halls of the pack house. The tension wasn’t unusual, given the growing unrest and Damian’s looming attack on the WhiteMoon pack which he'd learned that Lyra had had his babies and was living.I was on my way back to my chambers when I heard a voice. It was faint at first, like a soft whisper carried by the wind. I stopped, straining to listen, and realized it was coming from one of the rooms nearby. Curiosity prickled at me, and I moved closer, careful not to make a sound.The voice became clearer as I reached the slightly ajar door. It was Alexis, her tone low and filled with something I rarely associated with her—doubt.“...what have I gotten myself into?” she muttered. “This doesn't look like the reason I came here. Having to do is simply going... too far.”I leaned against the wall, keeping myself hidden, and listened.“Eliminat

    Lyra's POVThe day had arrived. The day when I would stand in front of the WhiteMoon pack and speak my truth. It felt like both a lifetime and a moment ago when I first arrived here, uncertain, broken, and afraid. Now, I was about to share the story that had shaped my life, the story that had brought me to this point. My heart raced as I thought about what lay ahead. I could feel the tension in the air. Rylan had been nothing but patient with me, but I knew this was an important moment—not just for me, but for the pack too. Rylan walked beside me, his presence steady and calming. His hand rested lightly on my back, guiding me forward, but I could sense his own nerves beneath his calm exterior. He had always been a strong leader, but even he knew how important this moment was. “I’m grateful for this, Rylan,” I said softly, looking up at him. “I really am. I just... I hope they can understand me.”Rylan glanced down at me, his eyes warm with reassurance. “They will, Lyra. They already

    Rylan's POVLyra sat quietly, her hands resting in her lap and her gaze fixed on the floor. I could see how heavy her emotions were, how much weight she carried from everything she had endured. As I spoke, the words came effortlessly, straight from a place deep within me, a place reserved just for her.“I’ve always been here for you, Lyra,” I said softly, my voice steady. “And I always will be. No matter how long it takes, I’ll wait for you. I know you’re still hurting from everything that happened. I know it’s not easy. But there’s something I need you to know and believe. I love you.”Her shoulders tensed slightly at my confession, but she didn’t pull away. I could feel the silence stretching between us, but I stayed patient. I had waited this long for her, and I could wait longer if she needed me to.“I don’t want you to feel pressured,” I continued, trying to make my voice as gentle as possible. “I’ll be here, whether it takes days, months, or years. I just want you to know that w

    Damian's POVThe sun was barely up when I reached the gates of the WhiteMoon pack. The journey had been long and tiring, but it gave me enough time to think. I had decided to come alone, without my men, to avoid any misunderstandings. If I came with force, there would be no way to convince Lyra to come back with me. I needed to show her that I could change, that I could be the father our children needed.As I approached the gates, the guards became alert.I didn’t flinch. I had expected this reaction. “I’m not here to cause trouble,” I said calmly. “I’ve come to see Lyra and my children. I mean no harm.”The guards didn’t move. They didn’t trust me, and I couldn’t blame them. The story of my threats must have reached every corner of this pack. Even though I had changed my mind about attacking them, I couldn’t erase what I had said before. But I had to try.“We’ll report this to Rylan,” another guard said, stepping away to send the message. The rest stayed in position, their eyes never

    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

    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.

    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

    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
