View MoreVarg POV I sat on the chair, spreading my arms over the armrests, as I stared at her. Her eyes met mine, wide and fearful, but that fear quickly shifted into something else, something unreadable. I knew she would have died from the cold if I hadn’t found her, yet the question gnawed at me: what was she doing alone in the woods during such a storm? What game was she and Lucian playing? The urge to ask tugged at me, but I reminded myself that it wasn’t my business, not unless it affected me directly.She pulled herself up, not quite sitting but clutching the blanket tightly around her shoulders, shivering. I couldn’t tell if it was from the cold or something else, but the way she looked at me with those deep red eyes, wide and shimmering with unshed tears, sent a strange pang through my chest. I scoffed, trying to shake off the feeling, but her gaze stayed locked on me, stirring something in the pit of my stomach that I didn’t want to acknowledge.“Thank you for saving me,” she whisper
Lyra POV I ran as fast as my legs would carry me, my breaths coming in short, panicked gasps. My heart thundered wildly in my chest, and the metallic scent of blood clung to me, a suffocating reminder of what I had just done. The image of the white wolf, shattered and broken, flashed before my eyes, her pleas for mercy echoing in my mind. The sound of her voice, desperate and fearful, clawed at me, cutting deeper than any wound.I had no choice. Lucian's words haunted me, the sting of his hand across my face and his cold threat replaying in my memory. He had warned me that disobedience would mean being dragged back to my pack, only to be slaughtered in front of them as a warning. Fear had taken hold, wrapping its icy fingers around my throat and leaving me with no other option. What I once thought was redemption had twisted into a nightmare I could never have imagined. He had saved my life, and now I was bound to his will, a slave to his commands.The scene replayed in vivid detail,
Varg POV Something stirred within me, a feeling I’d never felt before. I looked at the girl, trembling from nearly being struck by my dagger. Her eyes were wide, and I could see the similarities between us, though I wasn’t about to dwell on it. I stepped closer, watching as she pressed herself against the stone wall, almost as if she wished she could melt into it.People always had that reaction to me. I was used to it. I moved nearer, sensing her discomfort and unease. Now standing directly in front of her, I could hear her heart pounding frantically. That was exactly how close I needed to be to pull the dagger from the wall beside her head. She shut her eyes, trying to calm her breathing, though it was clearly not working.I smirked. I liked the effect I had on her. Maybe next time she’d think twice before barging in where she didn’t belong. Dropping the dagger onto the round oak table, I grabbed a towel from nearby and draped it over my shoulder.“You’re my mate,” she stammered, h
Lyra POV Lucian stood up and made his way over to me. “Now that you've spent some time in that enclosed room and changed into new clothes, I hope you're ready to take on your duties as I expect,” he said, curling a strand of my hair around his finger in a disturbingly playful way.I felt rooted to the spot, even though my body screamed for me to step away. His warm breath brushed against my cheek, sending a chill down my spine. The closeness wasn't what unnerved me, it was the weight of his demand. What exactly did he want from me?“I should've known that it was you who possessed the power,” he murmured in my ear, the smell of alcohol strong on his breath, creating a queasy feeling in my gut. I took a step back, feeling an unexpected wave of disgust instead of fear, despite him having saved my life.He turned and went back to the table, downing the contents of his glass in one swift motion.“What do you want from me?” The question slipped out before I could stop myself.He chuckled
Varg POV “Varg!” the crowd chanted as I stepped into the ring. Two brunettes standing nearby took off my black, sleeveless jacket. I eyed the man across from me, tall, broad, with a round belly and thick, strong arms. I scoffed at his appearance; this wasn’t the opponent I had expected.I wanted a real challenge, someone stronger. Seeing this man as my opponent made me wonder if the manager who set up this fight was mocking me or doubting my winning streak. Despite having won nearly thirty matches since I’d started fighting in this underground arena, they still had the fucking nerve to pick an opponent like this.“You little whelp, I’m going to put you in your place with the rest of those fools who brought you here,” the man growled, giving off the same hostile energy I felt.I didn’t respond. As much as I wanted to put him in his place with a few words, I figured it’d be better to let my actions speak. I cracked my knuckles, my red eyes blazing with a fire I was more than ready to u
He walked closer, the sound of his footsteps resonating on the ground, echoing with a chilling familiarity, the same movement I had sensed from the person who killed my mother.My heart raced as his presence filled the space, powerful and commanding. Every step sent a wave of dread through me, but I didn’t dare lift my head. I was too afraid of what I might see.“Lower your weapon,” the voice commanded, cold and unwavering.Frederick hesitated, his grip tightening on the sacred blade. “Who are you to come here and try to stop me?” he growled, his voice strained with frustration.The man took a step closer, his presence commanding, as the rest of the pack members snarled, ready to attack. But he didn’t flinch or show any sign of fear. “I am Lucian, Alpha of the Blackwood Pack.”Frederick’s eyes widened in shock, and I could feel the sudden tension rippling through the pack. Lucian’s name held power, and it was clear they recognized it.Without hesitation, Lucian reached down and graspe
Lyra's POVThe moon was blood-red the day a powerful Alpha was murdered—Serene Moon, the leader of the most outstanding pack in the northern part of Norway. She was fierce, strong, and she was my mother.I had just returned from my lonely walk to the garden, secluded in the farthest corner of our marked territory. As I made my way back, I couldn’t ignore the glares my kind shot at me. They hated me for what they believed was forbidden. I was the only one who possessed the trait the prophecy had foretold could bring about the end of our pack—red irises.I brushed off the side of my dark brown, knee-length dress, straightening the folds from leaning so close to the ground to pluck the fine roses my mother loved. We used to pick them together, since I was like an outcast in my pack. I had no friends, no one to talk to except my mother, who had tried many times to shed light on their false beliefs. I had once hoped my mate would be from our pack, but that dream had long since faded.My mo
