Marcus

NB: This chapter is written from Elder Marcus' point of view.

I stepped into the house, slamming the door behind me so hard the walls seemed to shake. The scent of lavender from the candles my wife always lit wafted in the air, but instead of calming me, it only irritated me further.

I can’t believe that stupid son of mine was asking me for money to go to Crewwood. He was even trying to blackmail me, saying I have not sent him any money like I promised. So he’s going to come to the council and tell them he is my son. That twerk!

If only the woman in my house gave me a son, I wouldn’t have gone outside. But no. She couldn't do that simple job of bearing me a son. It would have been easy to put my son on the alpha chair, especially when ….

"Marcus, you are back" Serena greeted softly, interrupting my thoughts. It seems she was coming from the kitchen as she was wearing an apron. The same one with little sunflowers on it, that I had bought for her years ago. Back then, I thought

  • Luna Lyra   What is he planning?

    DamienThe cool, polished wood of my study desk was soothing under my fingers as I leaned back in my chair, letting the faint hum of the pack house fill the silence. The weight of leadership was something I wore like a second skin, but moments like this, alone in my office, were rare and welcome. Until, of course, the phone buzzed on my desk.I picked it up and pressed it to my ear. “Speak.”“Alpha,” came the low, gravelly voice of one of my men. “I want to make a report on the man you asked me to follow.”“Go ahead.” I told him.“I followed him to the outskirts of the city. He went to the slums,” the man continued, hesitating slightly, as though unsure how to proceed. “It was strange, Alpha. I didn’t expect to see him in a place like that.”The slums. That caught my attention. Garret wasn’t the type to step foot in such a rundown area unless he had a very good reason - or a very bad one.“Go on,” I said, my tone sharpening.“He went into a building full of... questionable characters.

  • Luna Lyra   The Bruised Truth

    The next day after handling some work at the office, I drove down to Elder Marcus’ house. I arrived at his house with a purpose in every step. The grand façade of the house loomed before me, a testament to the man’s inflated ego and his self-fashioned reputation as a pillar of honor. Yet I knew better. Marcus was a snake in an elder's robes.When the door opened, I was relieved to see Serena standing there alone. She wore a modest dress, her hands clasped nervously in front of her. Her eyes widened slightly when she recognized me, but she quickly composed herself, stepping aside to let me in.“Alpha Damien,” she greeted with a weak smile and a bow. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”“I need to speak with Elder Marcus,” I said, stepping into the richly decorated foyer. The walls were adorned with awards, photographs, and symbols of Marcus’ position. It was all for show.“He’s not here,” Serena said, her voice soft. “He’s at the elder’s council meeting.”I knew that already. She was reall

  • Luna Lyra    The quiet before the storm

    “No, I’ve never met him. I don’t even know his name.” I leaned back, my mind racing. Marcus was up to something, and now I had more questions than answers. But one thing was clear: I needed to act fast. “I’ll handle it,” I said, my tone firm. I stood up to leave. “I have to go now. If anything happens, anything at all, you send word to me immediately.” “Yes, Alpha,” she whispered, her gratitude evident in her tearful eyes. She stood up to see me off. “But please, if you truly want to help, find Lyra first. And... and her son.” “Her son?” I was wondering if she had heard something else. “We all knew Lyra was carrying a boy and must have given birth by now. Find them Alpha. Whatever you do, don’t let Marcus get to them first.” “Why do you say that?” “I’m not very sure. But if Marcus is planning something, I’m sure it involves both Lyra and that child.” Her words gave me pause. “Do you have any idea where she might be?” She shook her head. “No.” As I made to leave, I couldn’t s

  • Luna Lyra    A mother’s fear

    I stepped out of the bedroom, my feet quiet on the floor as I moved toward the living room. The house seemed too still, as though it was holding its breath.“Who’s there?” I called, my voice was firmer this time.Silence.I hesitated, my instincts warning me that something wasn’t right. But after a moment, I shook my head. Maybe it was just the wind rattling the windows.I returned to the bedroom, shaking off the tension. I’d finish getting ready and head over to the Luna’s house. Everything was fine.But when I entered the nursery to check on my son, my heart stopped.The cot was empty.“Leo?” I whispered, panic gripping me. My feet carried me closer to the cot, my hands fumbling to pull back the blankets as if he could somehow be hiding underneath.“Leo!” I screamed, my voice echoing through the house. I spun around, my eyes scanning the room. He wasn’t here.Frantic, I tore through the nursery, yanking open the closet and looking under the furniture. My breaths came in sharp, shallo

  • Luna Lyra   The chase

    LyraI followed her instructions, though my heart was pounding in my chest. My mind was a whirlwind of fear and doubt, but I forced myself to think of my son. His tiny hands, his soft giggles, the way he looked at me with so much trust and love.At first, there was nothing but darkness, a suffocating void. I felt panic rising, but the healer’s voice steadied me. “Keep going. Don’t give up. Reach for him.”Then, like a spark in the dark, I felt something—a faint, trembling connection.“I can feel him. He’s woken up. He’s… he’s scared,” I whispered, tears streaming down my face.“Good, Lyra. Stay with him. What else do you feel?”I concentrated harder, the connection growing stronger. Images began to form in my mind, a man holding Leo, his arms trembling as he carried my son.“He’s in the arms of a man,” I said, my voice rising. “Leo’s scared! He’s crying!”The room buzzed with energy, the guards exchanging determined looks.“Don’t worry Lyra,” the alpha told me. “We’ll get you son back

  • Luna Lyra   Getting the baby

    The man turned to fight me, his face twisted with desperation. “Stay back!” I told him, but he ignored me and drew a small, rusted blade from beneath his cloak.I smirked, his confidence unwavering. “You’re going to regret that.”I can easily take this piece of sh*t down at any monemnt. However I have to be conscious of the baby on my back. The fight was brutal but short. The man lunged with the knife, but I dodged easily, my training giving him the upper hand. I delivered a swift punch to the man’s gut, making him double over.“You think you can take a child from this pack and walk away?” I growled, landing another blow to the man’s jaw.The man swung the knife again, but I caught his wrist, twisting it until the blade clattered to the ground. With one final strike, I knocked him to the ground.As the man groaned, trying to crawl away, I heard the sound of boots pounding against the cobblestones. I turned to see a group of guards running toward him.“Over here!” Caleb shouted.The

  • Luna Lyra   Getting to know the prisoner

    LyraThe morning sun streamed through the windows, casting yellow light across the modest furniture of my home. I was arranging fresh flowers on the dining table when I heard the knock at the door. My heart skipped a beat as I wasn’t expecting anyone.I know there’s a guard at the door but after the kidnapping incident concerning Leo, I have been more careful. I set the vase down and asked Maria to go check who’s at the door while I went near the crib to stay close to Leo.My plan is to grab him and start running if it was an intruder at the door. Even though Jaxon and Calista have assured me that I am safe here, I can’t help the feeling that something can go wrong again.Maria came back to inform me that it is Beta Luke at the door and I heaved a sigh of relief. I went back to my seat and asked her to let him in.A moment later, the Beta walked in, his sharp features illuminated by the sunlight. He waved a hand to dismiss the guard who accompanied him, leaving the man stationed outsi

  • Luna Lyra   Finding the rogue

    DamienThe winds howled like mournful spirits as i raced through the dense forest with my beta, Rowan, and a pack of skilled warriors at our side. I had heard reports of rogues breaching the northern borders, and I told Rowan to get a group of warriors and follow me.I would not allow such an affront to go unchallenged. My protective instincts burned like wildfire within me, urging me to act swiftly and decisively. The earlier I nip these attacks in the bud, the better. My plan going forward is to meet the rogues head on and kill every single one of them.By the time they suffer great losses in my hands they will stop bothering my pack. It seemed as they had a special fondness for my pack, I’m not sure other places get attacked this frequently. Anyway, I had revelares death for them all from now onwards. That was the focus of my discussion with Rowan two days ago and what we are going to do here today. Rowan had suggested that we try to find out why it seems that they are always atta

  • Luna Lyra   He wants to see you

    "I believe you confessed to me because you still don’t trust the women in your back," she said quietly. "You feel they will behave the same way as your former girlfriend. But you need to forgive yourself and move on. And you can still check out other packs if that is what you really want and pick a mate from there. Luke, you need to move on. There’s more to life than what has happened."Her words hung between us, heavy with meaning. I didn’t know what to say, but a part of me wanted to argue, to tell her it wasn’t that simple. But I didn’t. Instead, I just stared at her, trying to process what she was saying. She was being so… open.Lyra gave a soft chuckle, as if reading my thoughts. "I’m not asking you to forget your past, Luke. It’s just… don’t let it steal your future. Don’t let it steal what could be."I swallowed, feeling a lump in my throat. "And what’s that supposed to mean? You want me to forget everything just like that?""No." She shook her head firmly. "I’m saying don’t li

    “That’s terrible,” Garret exclaimed, taking a seat. “How could Damien do that to you?”“Don’t worry. His time is coming.” My tone softened slightly, though it still had a cold edge. “By the time I finish with him, he won’t know what hit him.”“But sir, do you think Jaxon knows about us? I mean, do you think Lyra told them about what she overheard in your study that day?”“What did she hear? We were just speculating on the reason she may have run away since she was in the house that day. For all you know, she didn’t hear anything, and something else may have triggered her.”“I was just wondering what they might have discussed - Jaxon and Damien,” Garret continued. “If Lyra didn’t know about your plan, she wouldn’t have told Jaxon. So Damien is still unaware of anything.”“Of course,” I said, taking a sip from my drink. “Even if Lyra suspects me, she wouldn’t go blabbering her mouth to outsiders. She can’t tell such things to people from other packs.”“Really?”“I raised her with an iro

  • Luna Lyra   Marcus' Fury

    MarcusI sat in my study, the amber liquid in my glass catching the faint light from the single candle I had lit on my desk. It was getting dark outside, the kind of time I should be relaxing. But all I could feel was the burning rage deep inside me. That little twerp called me his subject.Imagine that little twerp, telling me I am his subject.I took another sip, letting the fire of the alcohol settle in my chest. But it wasn’t enough to douse the fire in my mind. My fingers gripped the glass tighter, the crystal almost feeling like it might shatter under my anger. Well, I am his subject for now, for now. I would have finished my discussions with Jaxon by now. It was supposed to be a simple, discreet meeting between us. By now, he would have given me access to Lyra. That was why I wanted to let him know that I am Lyra’s father. I am sure that would have made him see me in a good light.Knowing that I’m related to Lyra would have meant something to him. I could have swayed him. He

  • Luna Lyra   Marcus is livid

    I was in my office typing on my laptop while checking on some files on my desk. I have so many files to go through, especially regarding the new collaboration we just got with the Sol Group.Suddenly, the door burst open, and I saw my secretary running after Elder Marcus. She looked on the verge of tears, but I nodded to her and told her to go back to her office.“Where is Alpha Jaxon?”“He has left for his home. I believe he has crossed the borders by now. Is there any problem?”“What is that supposed to mean, Damien? I was waiting in the reception for him to come out or for you to come and inform me that you have finished your meeting. I wanted to talk to him about something.”“Oh. Is that it?” I asked nonchalantly. “Well, the alpha said he had another meeting somewhere else. He left immediately after we finished our discussion.”“What is that supposed to mean? You knew I wanted to meet him. You could have called me to come and see him, even if only briefly.”I leaned back on my cha

  • Luna Lyra   Meeting with Jaxon

    DamienDamien couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something more going on that he didn’t know about. Why would elder Marcus suddenly develop interest in alpha Jaxon? Elder Marcus’s insistence on staying made me feel uneasy. But I didn’t press the issue. I had a sense that this conversation was one he wasn’t meant to be part of,not yet.There was something about Marcus's sudden interest in Jaxon that didn’t sit right with him, and he wasn’t sure what game they were playing. But he intended to find out. Still, my instincts told him to stay vigilant. Something was off, and I wasn’t about to ignore it. For now, I decided to focus on the conversation I am having with Jaxon.“Thank you for agreeing to this meeting,” I told him while motioning for him to sit on a seat close to the end of the conference table. This way, we will be sitting far away from the door. Although, Rowan is at the door to make sure no one disturbs me as I have already mindlinked him to him.Jaxon stepped forward,

  • Luna Lyra   Her former friend

    As if that was not enough, she still had a soft, cashmere cardigan draped over her shoulders, the pale beige color further emphasizing the soft opulence of her ensemble. She was carrying a small, structured handbag, probably designers since everything else she is wearing is designers. Its sleek features and pink color was designed to make a powerful statement. Then her accessories are all gold, from her earrings to the rings that glitter subtly on her fingers. Every piece of her outfit oozes wealth and refinement. She doesn’t need to shout about it; her clothing speaks volumes, subtly hinting that she knows exactly what she’s doing. You will think this woman is going to a ball dance at a palace and not coming for a casual visit to her Luna. She flings her long, wavy her at Calista as she gets closer to her.“I heard you were in the kitchen so I decided to come here and see you,” the woman said.“Hello Sylvia,” Calista said, with no expression on her face. It was clear that she is n

  • Luna Lyra   Calista’s rival

    LyraShe shrugged. “Who knows? Maybe he has finally decided to open his heart to love again. Although why he would pick you is strange.”“Why do you say that?”“He should know that you are already mated. Definitely you are not thinking of leaving your mate for him.”“No. And I told him so. I just hope I haven’t hurt him too much by rejecting him now that he has finally decided to love again.” Calista’s eyes softened, and she nodded. “I think Luke has always kept a piece of himself reserved, not wanting to trust anyone completely. But maybe, just maybe, he saw something in you, Lyra. Something that made him believe it was safe to open up. I’m not saying he was right to confess to you, but I think he’s been carrying that weight for a long time.”I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat growing. “He’s been carrying it alone. And I can’t be the one to fix him. I can’t be the one to heal those wounds.”“You don’t have to,” Calista said gently, reaching across the table and placing her hand

  • Luna Lyra   The meeting with Sol Group

    I sat at the head of the conference table, watching as the representatives of the Sol Group and some of my executives filed out of the room. The meeting had gone smoothly, far smoother than I had expected, to be honest. They didn’t come with a large contingent like I expected.The two packs are not friends with each other but then we were not at war either. It's more like we were wary of one another and were waiting for who would make the first move. Usually if they are coming to this kind of meeting, they will come with a lot of their warriors in case things turn awry but that doesn’t seem to be the case today. A few years after I became the alpha, I decided that I needed more allies than enemies and I decided to find them. And for Jaxon to come with such a few representatives, mostly business officials, maybe he is having the same thoughts as me. This will make our meeting go smoother. Crewwood has a lot of material resources that makes them one of the richest packs in our country

  • Luna Lyra   Making the brew

    The morning sun filtered through the windows of Calista's home, casting a golden glow across the room. The herbs and roots the maids had gathered the day before were now carefully simmering in a large pot on the stove, the scent of the healing potion filling the air with an earthy, soothing aroma. I was deep in concentration, making sure the brew was prepared just as my mother had taught me. It had to be perfect. Calista and I were counting on it.I glanced over at her as she sat at the table, her fingers absentmindedly tracing patterns on the cloth. She seemed nervous, yet hopeful. I could see the anxiety in her eyes, but there was something else there too. There was also a flicker of hope and excitement at the thought that maybe, just maybe, this could work. She wanted a child so badly, and I wanted to help her get what she deserved.Once I had finished the potion, we let it cool. When it was ready, I poured it into a small vial, the liquid glimmering in the morning light. I turned
