Lyra's Pov I was sitting by the window, staring at the woods as the cool evening breeze brushed against my face, bringing a rare moment of calm. A small smile crept onto my lips as I thought about Varg and the kiss we’d shared. The memory made me blush, and I absentmindedly tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, his words to me replaying in my head as I continued to stare.That peaceful moment shattered when the door flung open with a loud bang. My heart leaped into my throat, and for a terrifying second, I thought Lucian had come to take me away. But when I turned, I saw Varg standing in the doorway, his face shadowed with frustration and anger. He slammed the door behind him, his movements abrupt and filled with tension.I froze, unsure of what to do as he stormed further into the room. His presence was overwhelming, and the stormy expression on his face made my chest tighten. I could only assume he had just come from another fight with Lucian. His steps were heavy as he move
Lyra Pov "Pleassse." I mumbled, he leaned forward pushed his tongue into my mouth, forcing his cock deeper into me. “Oh, Varg,” I stammered, arching my back. His fingers gripped the sheets in desperation as he continue, going faster and faster into me. The feeling was indescribable; it was like I was on fire, burning from the inside out, my body screaming for more. I clutched tightly onto his shoulders as he fucked me. I clenched my pussy around his length and let out a whimper as the orgasm crashed over me. I clung to Varg desperately, letting go, letting him fill me. “Varg…” I choked out, crying out again as another wave of pleasure swept over me. Before he dropped to the other side of the bed and dosed off to sleep, I lay there trying to catch my breath and calm the racing blood in my veins, wondering why my body had reacted this way to him. I closed my eyes and turned in the opposite direction to him, as I allowed the sleepiness to overcome me. ******** The warm morning
Varg's Pov My head throbbed as I sipped the coffee, the bitterness doing little to dull the ache. Memories of the previous night swirled in my mind, fragmented but vivid enough to make my stomach churn. I wasn’t the type to drink myself into oblivion, but after everything that had happened, I’d given in. I hadn’t anticipated waking up to the aftermath of... intimacy. And with her, of all people, the one responsible for upending my life.She sat on the couch near the window, her gaze fixed on me, wide-eyed and accusing. Her expression was a mixture of shock and hurt, as if I’d just spoken the most unforgivable words. But it was the truth. She had taken advantage of me, a man too intoxicated to think clearly. I wasn’t in my right mind last night, and I wasn’t going to pretend otherwise.I placed the coffee cup back on the tray with a sharp clink, the hangover pounding relentlessly in my skull. This was precisely why I didn’t drink. I hated the aftermath, the pain, the regret, and now,
Lyra POV I sat in the room for hours after Bethany had cleared away the remnants of breakfast, boredom creeping in like an unwelcome guest. The thought of stepping outside for fresh air, to run in the woods as I once loved, gnawed at me. But the fear of Lucian spotting me and using me for his schemes kept me rooted in place. I wrapped my arms around myself, standing near the window, watching the deserted driveway and the nearby trees swaying gently in the breeze.The sight triggered a memory of my mother. She loved watching the wind carry the leaves, often remarking that it was a sign of the Moon Goddess's favor. I was lost in the thought when a soft knock on the door pulled me back to reality.The door creaked open carefully, and Bethany stepped in with an unusual glow on her face. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, as though a heavy burden had been lifted."Lyra, the moment you’ve been waiting for is here," she announced with a wide smile. "You can finally go outside, enjoy the fre
Lyra Pov I sat in the living room, staring at the pictures on the wall while I waited for Bethany to return. The hum of her sister’s soft tune floated through the air, faint but calming. I leaned back against the couch, letting my eyes close for a brief moment, trying to drown out the lingering guilt and tension that seemed to follow me wherever I went.But then, faint whispers broke through the hum. My ears perked up instinctively. At first, I thought I imagined it, but the words grew clearer, harsh and cutting.“He told me that you are going against his will, and because of that, he cut our supply. He no longer sponsors my medical expenses,” a bitter voice hissed, laced with frustration.I sat upright, alert. The voice was faint, but the emotion behind it was unmistakable. Then came the sound of soft sobbing.My curiosity and concern got the better of me. Quietly, I rose from the couch, glancing over my shoulder to see if Bethany’s sister had noticed me. She was still humming, seem
Varg Pov I pulled into the driveway of Mol-ten Diner, a place that had always felt like home to me. It wasn’t just a diner, it was a haven of memories, the kind that lingered long after the taste of a good meal. My parents had brought me here when I was a child, and later, I’d brought my ex here, trying to share the warmth and nostalgia this place carried.The diner had a charm that never faded: the retro sign with its neon glow, the sound of the bell jingling as the door opened, and the faint aroma of freshly brewed coffee mixed with sizzling bacon. Even now, standing in front of it, I could feel the weight of those memories pressing down on me. Good memories, the kind I desperately wanted to cling to.I pushed open the door, and the bell rang softly, announcing my arrival. Inside, the atmosphere was warm and lively, with the clatter of dishes and the hum of soft chatter filling the air. Booths lined the walls, their red vinyl seats as familiar as ever. A jukebox stood in the corner
Lyra's Pov The ride back to the mansion was tense. I felt as though my thoughts were tied in knots, replaying Varg’s words about our intimate night over and over. The moonlight hung high in the sky, bathing the world in its soft glow, while Varg hummed along to the mellow tune playing softly on the stereo.He glanced at me briefly, his red eyes catching the moonlight in a way that made them gleam. His lips curved into a subtle, almost unnoticeable smile, and for a moment, his calm demeanor made me wonder if I was overthinking everything. Maybe, just maybe, things really were changing.“Your thoughts are racing,” he said, his gaze returning to the road. “Take a deep breath. Relax.”I bit my lip, wondering if he could somehow hear my thoughts. His red eyes flickered again, sharp yet soothing, and for a moment, I felt exposed. I shifted in my seat and looked away, focusing on the moonlight filtering through the trees as if that would drown out the chaos in my head.When the car finally
Varg's Pov I kissed her softly on the neck, my lips brushing against her skin as I whispered, “Tell me to stop.” The urge to mark her was overwhelming that night, the full moon's energy intensifying every emotion within me. The way she said my name, her voice breathless and laced with something deeper, only fueled the fire burning inside me. I wanted her to stop me, to give me a reason to hold back, but she didn’t. It was clear she wanted me as much as I wanted her.She shifted on the bed, turning to face me with her eyes still closed. Her hesitation was gone, replaced by something raw and unspoken. “If you want me to stop, say the word,” I muttered, leaning closer until my lips met hers in a soft, lingering kiss.Her lips moved against mine, and the energy between us shifted, electric and undeniable. My hand moved instinctively, sliding down to unbutton her shirt. She responded with equal fervor, her hands gripping my shoulders as she kissed me back, her breaths shallow and quick.
Varg’s POV“Daddy, Mommy said we’re leaving,” Moon’s tiny voice chimed as she padded across the living room, her soft curls bouncing with each step.I smiled down at her, reaching out to lift her onto my lap. She curled against my chest, her warmth settling something deep inside me.“Yes, sweetheart,” I murmured, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “We’re going to the Moon Pack, where your mommy came from.”Bethany entered the room, pushing her father’s wheelchair, her expression composed yet tinged with something unspoken. She settled onto the couch across from me, her eyes steady as she met mine.“Varg,” Tommy said with quiet certainty, “I know you’re going to be a great leader. It’s always been in you, and I’m glad you finally get to step into that role.”I exhaled, a slow, relieved breath. “I just hope things turn out right from now on,” I admitted. The weight of responsibility was still settling over me, but with Thanos gone, the darkness that had loomed over us for so long h
Lyra’s POVA deep voice swept into my subconscious, pulling me from the edge of sleep. I turned the other way, but the cold seeped deeper into my body. My arms wrapped tightly around myself, but it did little to stop the shivers racking through me.I knew I should get up and go to the room, but I couldn't, not when I knew Varg wasn’t there. The bed would feel just as cold, just as empty.A familiar warmth surrounded me suddenly, strong arms lifting me effortlessly. Before I could fully wake, my body was cradled against a solid chest, and a familiar scent wrapped around me like a shield against the cold.My eyes snapped open. “Varg?“He didn't offer a word and carried me down the hallway, his grip firm but careful, his expression unreadable. I let my head rest against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath my ear.When we reached the bedroom, Varg placed me gently on the bed and pulled the blankets over me, tucking them securely around my shoulders.The warm
Lyra’s POV"Bethany… Bethany," I called softly, reaching out to touch her shoulder. But she didn’t flinch. She remained still, lost in her thoughts, her numbness beginning to frighten me."It’s okay," I whispered, kneeling beside her. "Please, let’s go inside before you catch a cold."She lifted her head slowly, her eyes filled with unspeakable pain, but she didn’t move."Please listen to me, Bethany," I pleaded. "I don’t want you getting sick, for your sake and for the baby’s."Her gaze flickered at me for a moment before lowering to the ground. She had been sitting in the exact spot where Lucian had fallen, even though his body was no longer there."Lyra, I don’t think I can survive this," she murmured, her voice fragile, her tears sliding down her pale cheeks. "Why did Lucian had to leave me now that we were planning of getting married?"If only I had an answer. If only I could give her the comfort she so desperately needed. But I couldn’t. I didn’t even have it for myself.Ever si
Varg's POV The urgency in Jacob’s voice sent a sharp prickle down my spine. Something was definitely wrong, but I couldn’t quite place what it was. Maybe Jacob had figured out who the traitor was and needed me there before delivering punishment.“What’s the problem?” Tommy asked, noticing the worried expression on my face.“Just got a call from Jacob. I need to return to the mansion,” I replied absentmindedly, my voice sounding hollow.“Then you have to go. Don’t worry, you can visit whenever you want. And don’t forget what we discussed.” Tommy gave me an encouraging look, but it barely registered in my mind.I glanced at my phone, staring at the multiple missed calls from Lyra. A strange feeling crept up my spine, but I brushed it off.I stood up. “Thanks for your time, Tommy. I understand if you don’t want Lucian to know where you are. But it would really be nice if he knew.”“I’ll tell him when all this is over,” Bethany said as she walked in, handing Tommy a tea mug. “But for now
Lyra’s POVThanos’s voice slithered through my mind like a snake, his words sharp and taunting."Oh, this is exactly what I wanted."His laughter echoed through my head, sending a shiver down my spine. I had never truly tried using the mind link before, not like this. But now, in this moment, it felt like he was inside my head, his presence pressing against my thoughts like a dark cloud."I’ve got you where I wanted, and now you can’t run away from me."A snarl ripped through my throat, my teeth clashing together in a vicious warning. My wolf burned with rage, ready to lunge, but before I could move, a massive force crashed into me from behind.I barely had time to register the weight before I was slammed into the ground, my breath knocked from my lungs. The world spun, dirt and leaves sticking to my fur as a heavy body pinned me down.A deep growl rumbled above me as I realized it was Harold in his wolf form.I thrashed, my claws digging into the ground as I tried to buck him off, bu
Lyra’s POVBile rose in my throat as I stood frozen at the sight before me. Thanos stood tall, his presence menacing, flanked by five wolves with eyes that glowed in the dim moonlight. He was toying with us, drawing this out, knowing full well that Lucian was alone and outnumbered.Lucian held his ground, his jaw clenched, but I could sense his unease. He was strong, but against Thanos and five of his wolves? He wouldn't last.I needed to do something.My gaze darted around the living room, searching for my phone. It lay on the couch, its screen reflecting the dim glow of the chandelier above. I rushed over, snatching it up, and quickly dialed Varg’s number.It rang, a breath of relief left me. If Varg could get here in time, we had a chance. But then it went into voicemail.I cursed under my breath and tried again. Once, twice, three times, nothing.My fingers tightened around the phone before I hurled it onto the couch in frustration. My mind spun, searching for another plan, anothe
Lyra’s POVI stood by the entrance of the mansion, my eyes locked on Jacob as he spoke to Harold. There was tension in Jacob’s posture, the kind that signaled he was piecing together a dangerous truth. Harold, however, remained composed, his face a mask of innocence.Jacob’s jaw tightened as he leaned in closer, his words sharp and demanding, but Harold didn’t waver. A cold unease settled in my stomach. Something wasn’t right.I cast one last glance at the confrontation before turning on my heel and stepping into the mansion. My steps were brisk but quiet as I moved through the dimly lit hallway toward the children’s room. I needed to make sure they were inside, away from any potential danger.Reaching their door, I cracked it open and peeked inside. Moon was curled up beneath her blanket, her small hand resting near her face. Tristan and Justine lay still on their beds, their chests rising and falling in slow, steady breaths. The sight of them safe and asleep sent a wave of relief th
Lyra’s POV“Mommy, I haven't seen Daddy in a while now," Moon complained, her voice soft as she rested her head on my lap.We sat on the lush green lawn in the garden, the warm afternoon breeze brushing against us. Tristan and Justine sat a little distance away, their notepads propped on their knees as they scribbled down whatever held their interest.I ran my fingers gently through Moon’s silky hair, tucking a loose strand behind her ear. “Baby, your dad has been busy for quite some time now," I said, keeping my voice calm despite the ache in my chest.Moon shifted slightly, turning her big, curious eyes up at me. “Is it about that bad man that came over that day?" she asked innocently. "I heard Daddy talking to Aunt Bethany about someone helping him."I chuckled softly, masking my worry with a reassuring smile. “Oh, sweetheart. It’s not just about that man. Your daddy has other important things to take care of.”She pouted, her small fingers tracing absent patterns on my lap. “I tol
Varg’s POV“Thank you for coming,” I said to Jacob as I stepped forward, placing a firm hand on his shoulder.He gave me a slight nod, his gaze sharp but unreadable. Without another word, I turned and walked away, glancing over my shoulder briefly to see if Bethany was following. She cast a hesitant look at Lucian before finally stepping forward, her pace cautious.Sliding into the driver’s seat, I turned on the engine, the low hum filling the air. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bethany hesitating before opening the passenger door. She slipped inside, her face lined with unease, her hands nervously twisting in her lap.“If there’s anything you want me to know, don’t keep it from me,” I said, casting her a knowing look before resting my arm against the steering wheel.She turned to me, and though I kept my eyes on the road ahead, I could feel the tension rolling off her in waves. “I don’t know if my father is ready to see you,” she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. “He ma
