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.

    Lyra's Pov The sound of banging and hitting pulled me from my sleep. I sat up slowly, my eyes heavy and blurry as I rubbed them with the back of my hand. Sunlight poured through the window, bright and warm, signaling that I had slept longer than intended. The noises coming from the other room, sharp and rhythmic, made it clear that Varg was busy with his early morning training.I glanced around the room, noticing the empty space beside me. Varg wasn’t there. With a sigh, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, walking to the closet. I pulled out a simple blue dress, slipped it on, and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. After splashing water on my face, I felt more awake and ready to confront the day.When I returned to the room, the door creaked open, and Bethany walked in. She carried a tray of food, her steps careful and her gaze firmly fixed on the floor. It was obvious she was avoiding my gaze. She placed the tray gently on the small table next to the couch, then turned as i

    Varg's Pov“I’ve got something to handle,” I said, pulling a black shirt over my head. “I might not be back on time, but don’t forget what I told you, don’t trust anyone, not even Bethany.”She looked up at me, her red eyes shimmering with a mix of longing and uncertainty. For a moment, it seemed like she wanted to say something but hesitated. I paused, studying her expression. “Got something to tell me?” I asked, my tone softer.She smiled faintly and shook her head. “Nope, it’s just… it’s going to feel kinda lonely staying here all alone,” she mumbled, her voice tinged with vulnerability.I sighed, stepping closer to her. “I get it. I really do. But the safest place for you right now is here. If I could stay, I would.” My words carried the weight of truth, but they didn’t seem to offer much comfort.Before I could decide whether to leave her with just words, she stood up and closed the distance between us. Her lips met mine in a kiss that took me off guard but left me wanting more.

    Varg's Pov I pulled into the driveway of the Dom mansion, my pulse quickening with urgency. The fight had drained me, but something inside me, an instinct, a pull, drove me to rush inside. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. My mind raced with thoughts of Lyra.I pushed through the door, my feet moving faster than my thoughts. The hallways felt colder than usual as I rushed toward my room, a knot tightening in my stomach. But when I reached my door, I froze. It wasn’t just slightly ajar, this door had been forced open. Panic gripped me, and my heart skipped a beat.“Lyra?” I called out, my voice laced with fear as I stepped into the room. The silence was deafening.The room was eerily quiet, too quiet. Everything was perfectly in place, the room neat and untouched, except for one glaring detail. She wasn’t here. The bed was made, the furniture in its usual order, but Lyra’s absence filled the room like a heavy shadow.I took another step forward, my heart hammering

    Varg's POV“I’ve told you, I don’t know where she is,” Lucian groaned, his tone laced with impatience. He paused, his hand leaving his stubbled jaw as his eyes narrowed slightly. “Do you think I’m responsible for whatever happens to her?”“I know you are!” I roared, slamming my fist onto the table again. The sound echoed in the room, but he didn’t flinch. He sat there, his composure infuriatingly unshaken, refusing to show even a hint of fear. “You’re the one who’s been after revenge ever since we moved into the Blackwood pack.”He smirked, his lips curling into something cold and condescending. Slowly, he brushed his hand through his hair, his arrogance on full display. “You’re right,” he said, his voice dripping with venom. “I’ve wanted revenge against the Moon pack from day one. And you know what? That girl, your girl, she’s the key I need. But now that you can’t find her, that’s not my fucking problem, is it?” He leaned back in his chair, his words hitting me like a slap.My chest

    Lyra's Pov My head throbbed with an unbearable ache as I stumbled along the path toward the Moon Pack. Each step felt heavier than the last, my thoughts clouded by Lucian’s voice echoing in my mind, his threats, his anger, and the pain he inflicted. Why had I ever thought I could escape him? Why had I let myself believe that Varg’s room could be a sanctuary?The memory replayed vividly, tormenting me with every detail. I had been asleep, curled up on the bed, certain the door was locked. Varg had locked it himself before leaving. But the crash of the door bursting open jolted me awake, and there he was, Lucian, his rage more terrifying than I had ever seen.He didn’t say a word before grabbing my arm and yanking me out of the room. I begged him to leave me alone, pleaded with him to stop, but it only seemed to fuel his fury. He dragged me down the hall and shoved me to the floor. I landed hard, my palms stinging against the cold surface as I looked up at him.Lucian loomed over me, h

    Lyra's Pov “It’s been a long time,” Thanos said, his voice dripping with mockery. His chuckle echoed in the stillness of the room as I instinctively stepped back. My body betrayed me, trembling under the weight of his presence. “I thought you must’ve been dead by now. And yet, here you are, sneaking into my room unannounced. There must be a reason.”I couldn’t speak. My mind reeled as my gaze locked on his. The red glow of his irises was unmistakable, cutting through the dim light like a blade. “Your eyes are…” I finally stammered, the words barely leaving my lips.“Red,” he said, his tone turning sharp, serious. “Yes, they’re red.” He didn’t move closer, as if sensing my fear, but instead strode calmly toward the vanity near the mirror. He picked up a small container and sealed it with deliberate precision. Lenses. He had been hiding his true nature all this time.“You’ve been hiding this from the pack,” I whispered, my voice trembling as the realization sank in. The prophecy, the f

    Lyra’s POVI was home.The realization settled in my chest, warm and comforting.“Thank you for helping me out,” I told Bethany as we carried the babies into the room, heading to the cribs that was adorned with a gold nameplate that shimmered under the soft glow of the overhead light.The room was breathtaking, far more spacious than I had expected. The walls were painted in warm shades of white and brown, creating a sense of peace and comfort. Above us, the ceiling was a masterpiece, painted with an artistic display of the sky, soft, wispy clouds stretched across the canvas, giving the illusion of endless serenity.Three beautifully crafted brown cribs stood side by side, their intricate wooden designs carved with care. A plush beige couch sat in the corner, its inviting cushions promising comfort for the long nights Varg and I would undoubtedly spend here, watching over our children.I gently placed Moon in her crib, her tiny fingers immediately reaching for my hair with a playful c

Wrapping my arms around myself, I tried to ward off the cold, my bare feet sinking slightly into the plush rug beneath me.Slowly, I blinked my eyes open, expecting to find myself still nestled in the warmth of Varg’s embrace, but instead, the space beside me was empty. The sheets were slightly rumpled, the lingering warmth from his body fading away.Frowning, I pushed myself up from the bed, stretching slightly before making my way toward the window. As I pulled the curtains apart, my breath caught in my throat.It was snowing.Thick white flakes floated gently from the sky, blanketing the world in a soft, untouched purity. The ground was covered in a layer of white, the fence dusted with snow, and Varg’s car sat outside, half-buried beneath it.I hadn't seen snow like this in years. Since coming to Norway as a child with my mother, I had only experienced winter once.

  • Her Chosen Mate   73. Welcome Back

    Lyra’s POVThe cold night air brushed against my skin as I stood across from the Dom mansion, staring at the towering structure that loomed before me. The scent of pine, damp earth, and something deeply familiar drifted through the air, stirring memories I wasn’t sure I was ready to face.Years ago, I had wanted nothing more than to escape this place, to run as far away as my legs could take me. But now, standing here with my children in my arms, it felt different. This place, once my prison, had become my solace. The walls I once despised now offered safety. Protection. A home for my pups.A warm hand settled on my shoulder, grounding me.“You’ll be fine. Trust me,” Varg murmured, his breath warm against my ear. “I’m here. And I’m never leaving your side.”I lowered my gaze to the two babies nestled in my arms, then to the one he held. Their tiny fingers curled into the fabric of my clothes, their warmth seeping into me. I wished, for a fleeting moment, that they could tell me what t

    Varg's POV The cries of my babies pulled me from my thoughts, their wails slicing through the night. I turned toward Lyra, who rocked them desperately, trying to soothe them, but their sobs didn’t ease.I knelt beside her, watching the way her red-rimmed eyes flickered up at me, filled with pain, fear… and doubt. It was as if she expected me to hurt them. And honestly, I couldn’t blame her. I hadn’t done enough to protect her before.Gently, I reached for one of the babies. “I’m sorry, Lyra,” I murmured, lifting the tiny, trembling body into my arms.The moment I did, the cries quieted. The baby’s red eyes, so much like mine, locked onto me, filled with warmth instead of fear.“Daddy’s here,” I whispered, pulling him closer.A soft coo replaced the sobs, followed by a tiny, breathy chuckle. A smile tugged at my lips as I brushed a finger over his nose before pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead.“You look just like me,” I mused. “I hope you’re strong too.”Lyra’s voice broke throug

    Varg's POV The sound of snapping jaws and guttural growls filled the air as I slammed into the wolves with everything I had. The impact sent us all tumbling in a blur of fur and claws, snarls tearing through the night. They thrashed, trying to overpower me, but I held firm.The first wolf lunged, aiming for my throat. I twisted sharply, my jaws clamping down on its scruff. With a surge of power, I hurled it aside, sending its limp body crashing into the dirt. It scrambled to its feet, hesitation flickering in its eyes, but it wasn’t done yet.The second came faster, fangs bared and eyes filled with murderous intent. It crashed into me, our bodies meeting with bone-rattling force. Pain flared through my side as its claws raked deep, but I didn’t let up. I drove us both into the underbrush, a whirlwind of snarls and strikes.I couldn’t stop. I wouldn’t. Not when Lyra and my pups were in danger. The thought of what could’ve happened if I hadn’t followed the faint trail of black fur sent

    Lyra's POV“Shit,” he groaned, shoving me so hard my body slammed into the closet doors. The impact rattled the entire frame, but I forced myself to my feet, ignoring the ache in my back. Rage coursed through me, drowning out the pain. I lunged at him, claws outstretched, aiming for his face.My attack was wild, raw, and desperate, but he was ready. With a guttural growl, Thanos shifted into his wolf form. His black fur rippled like a storm cloud, and his crimson eyes burned with malicious delight. His massive frame dwarfed me, his presence suffocating the room.His growl deepened, and he snapped his jaws at me, a warning I ignored. I charged again, my wolf instincts sharpening my senses. I swiped at his side, claws barely grazing the thick hide beneath his fur. His strength was unmatched, and it showed in every movement.With a single swipe of his massive paw, he sent me sprawling to the ground, my body skidding across the wooden floor. I scrambled up, the metallic taste of blood poo

    Lyra's POVThe soft light streaming through the window pulled me from sleep, and I rolled to the other side of the bed, clutching the pillows tightly. Their softness tempted me to drift back into slumber.A cool breeze swept into the room, pushing the beige curtains further inward. I felt it gentle touch on my face and sighed, finally sitting up. Pulling my hair into a tight bun, I made my way to the bathroom to splash water on my face.The day felt crisp, and I decided I’d take my pups out for a stroll. It had been weeks since we’d last stepped outside, and they deserved to experience the daylight and fresh air.But as I wiped my face with a towel, a faint sound caught my attention. My heart stilled. A cold shiver crawled down my spine.“I’ve waited long enough for your response,” a familiar voice said, low and menacing. “But as always, you’ve failed to get back to me. My men say you’ve been lying to them.”“That’s not true!” Sabrina’s voice trembled with fear. “You know I would neve

    Varg's POV“Marcus said he saw a lady with crying baby walk into the woods a few days ago,” Lucian said, his voice breaking the silence as we trekked through the woods, accompanied by Jacob and a few of Lucian’s Betas. “I think she’s the one they saw.”I didn’t immediately react to Lucian’s words. My mind wasn’t focused on what he was saying. Everything he’d mentioned since offering to help me had felt more like a shot in the dark.And who in the hell would believe someone like Marcus Blood Moon? The guy’s a loner who fled his pack years ago and now lives in the woods with his concubine, who, by the way, was mated to another man.The guy was insane, but I couldn’t entirely fault Lucian for trusting him. He had this odd habit of taking in whatever came his way.“That’s not enough reason to be out here wandering aimlessly,” Jacob chimed in, voicing exactly what I was thinking as he stepped up to walk alongside us.“We don’t know, but we have to try,” Lucian replied.I stayed quiet, my m

I carefully stood from the bed and shuffled to the window, peeking through the curtains.Sabrina was standing near the woods, her figure tense as she faced a man dressed in a black hoodie and pants. Though they were a fair distance from the house, their voices carried as if they were right beside me."Alright," the man said, his deep voice sharp and full of warning. "He doesn’t like being kept waiting."Sabrina’s gaze dropped to the ground, her fingers trembling before she steadied them with her other hand. "I won’t let you down," she replied, her tone quiet but resolute. "Tell him that."The man didn’t respond. Instead, he turned and strode into the woods, his retreating figure swallowed by the shadows. I focused on Sabrina, her shaky breaths filling the silence as she turned toward the path leading back
