I exhaled. They are not gonna like my answer but it's the truth. “No. We’ve been searching for him for years.”“Are you?” Damien asked me. “Are you really searching for him or have you abandoned him? After all, he is an adult and should be able to handle his responsibilities.”I looked up at him. “You are right alpha Damien. He is an adult and should bear the consequences of his actions. But he has omitted crimes in our pack and so is a wanted man there too,” I told him. “Maybe we are not actively looking for him but that‘S because we don’t even know where to look.”A heavy silence filled the room as they processed my words. There were still so many unanswered questions, but one thing was clear - Luca has overdone himself this time, in a bad way too.Damien turned to Lyra, his anger barely contained. “We need to find him.”Lyra nodded, determination flashing in her eyes. “Yes, we do. But first thing first.”“What first thing?” he asked her and she nodded towards me.Damien looked a
Lyra’s povHe exhaled, his expression guarded. “Just tell me. What is it?”“It’s about Tricia,” I said carefully.He stood still, his fingers clenching beside him. A flicker of pain crossed his face, but he quickly masked it. “What about her?”“There was a dead body found in Crewwood borders,” I explained. “Calista told me they increased border patrol after the last attack. That’s when they found the body. On checking it, they discovered it was Tricia’s.”He was silent for a few seconds.“Did she say what happened to her?”“No. Though she said, they are still investigating. But they felt you should know about it.”His jaw clenched slightly, but he nodded. “I see.”“Are you okay?” I asked gently.He let out a hollow chuckle. “She rejected me, Lyra. It doesn’t matter anymore.”I frowned, but before I could say anything, he cut me off. “It's okay Lyra. really. I need to see my warriors. It seemed we really needed to go back home. My warriors and I will have to leave soon.”I exchanged a
Damien’s povThe door opened to reveal the back of the family chef. He is an old man in early fifties. He has served as a cook here for many years. I know because he was my parents' favorite cook. When they brought more Omegas to help him he focused on bakery and had excelled in that too. I had once asked him if he wants to retire but he would hear none of it.As usual, he didn’t come here empty-handed. He never comes to see me or my wife without bringing something edible. I looked at the tray on hhis hands he turned round for it not to hit the door. It was a tray containing different types of pastries on it."He's always bringing something," I chuckled, watching as Lyra adjusted herself and went back to her seat. "Hope he's not expecting us to sample every single one."Barth, the head chef in the packhouse, bustled in, a whirlwind of flour and apron strings. He kept the tray down on a table and bowed to us."Good day Alpha, Luna!" he boomed, his voice echoing slightly in the spaciou
Luke’s povThe guard led me away, and as I stepped into the pack house, I was welcomed with warmth and the comforting scent of home. The scent of fresh pine and burning wood filled the air, a stark contrast to the damp, musty dungeon cell.The packhouse wasn't a crumbling, gothic mansion; it was a sleek, modern house nestled amidst a grove of ancient oak trees. I noticed the trees when we arrived yesterday. The exterior was a blend of steel and glass, reflecting the moonlight like a thousand shattered mirrors. Inside, the minimalist aesthetic was punctuated by unexpected touches of the past. The guard took me through the hall. The main hall was a soaring space with a polished concrete floor and a wall-sized fireplace roaring to life. Animal skins – wolf, bear, and even the occasional cougar – were draped over sleek leather couches, adding a touch of primal elegance. A grand staircase, crafted from dark wood, led to the upper levels, where the bedrooms were spacious and luxurious, eac
“Yes, Lyra, I knew about him. I visited your mother some time ago. Remember, I told you about it. I had just learned that your father had a bastard son. So I paid your mother a visit to ask about him, among other things.”“You knew?” Lyra asked.I hope this doesn’t degenerate into a couples fight of ‘you knew and you didn’t tell me’ between them.“I also got to know recently, just days before you came back,” Damien clarified and Lyra was silent.“The main thing,” I cut in, “is that that boy in our dungeon may be his son. And possibly Lyra's half-brother. Since we have created a new relationship, Jaxon wants to release him to you so you can deal with him according to your own laws.”“It should be instant death for him. He tried to kidnap the heir of this pack," Damien said, and Lyra gasped.“Damien, he could be related to me. Besides he may not really know what he was doing. I feel my father threatened him into doing his bidding.”“But he kidnapped my son and tried to run away with him
Damien’s pov When Luke said he had to go, I left my seat and came round to shake his hand, thanking him for giving all this information. It's Been an enlightening discussion with him intimating me of all the happenings in the pack world where it concerns Axelland. I held his arm with my other hand while smiling at him as I wished him well. I gave my regards to Alpha Jaxon and his wife though since he said he is going back that day. I then led him to the door and smiled as he left and closed the door after him.I stood at the closed door and sighed. IIt'sbeen a tiring day and the day is not over yet. Luke seemed like a good man, someone I could become friends with. If only we didn’t start with this misunderstanding. I rolled my shoulders to lessen the tension there as I walked slowly back to a couch to sit down.“At least, he is out of the dungeon,” Lyra said to me as if she could read my mind. “I’m sure he will understand your actions and will forgive you.”I nodded, but there was s
Luke’s povI took another step forward, a slow smile spreading across my lips. "Hello, Denise."Her breath hitched. "You are out of the dungeon.”“Is that a question or a statement?” I said, my voice low but steady.“I …I’m just surprised, that’s all,” she blurted.“Well, I’ll answer you anyway,” I said, taking another step closer. “I’m out of the dungeon, mate.”She gasped and looked up to meet my eyes.“You …you knew?”“Of course. From your scent, I already know. And I’m sure it's the same for you.”“Since…since when?” she asked.“Yesterday,” I answered, taking another step towards her. “Yesterday evening, when you came to greet your sister-in-law.”“But ..but..but..,” she stopped and took a deep breath. I guess she is trying to calm herself so she can stop stammering. “But you didn’t say anything yesterday. In fact you barely even looked at me,” she smirked. She looks so sexy doing that I want to kiss away that smirk from her face.“Well, I wasn’t sure what I was experiencing. I
Lyra’s PovI told Damien that I couldn’t stand by and watch an innocent man die. He simply nodded and brushed his thumb on my lips. That sent some electric jolts down my body. Is this man trying to seduce me here? Earlier on I listened to his thoughts about Luke and spoke about it.But I didn’t want him to suspect what I had done so I disconnected and stopped listening. I have to let him know of my new found powers before I can use it on him. That only seems fair. I only used it on Denise because she was wallowing in pity and I wanted to help her. I’m glad it ended well. But from now, I have to let people know and then ask for their permission before I get into their minds. I wouldn’t like to invade anyone’s privacy. That would seem like abuse of powers. I turned to look at Damien. This man is definitely trying to seduce. I don’t need to read his mind to know that. "And that’s why you’re perfect for this role,” he said. “You challenge me, Lyra, and that’s exactly what I need."Wow,
Lyra’s pov“So I called you here to celebrate,” my husband continued talking. “Celebrate with us, celebrate with my family, celebrate with our pack as the goddess has blessed us greatly. No matter the worries or challenges we may encounter in our country, we are not consumed. Rather, we have been winning and will keep winning. I urge you all to enjoy yourselves tonight, as there is a lot to eat and drink.”The crowd erupted in joy and happiness as the cheers and clappings got louder. I’m glad our people are happy to be here and are receiving this news with joy. I was a little apprehensive that many of them may wonder why we hid the news of my return and rather prepared a feast to reveal. But it seems I have nothing to worry about at all as they don’t mind at all. Damien raised his hands, and they quieted down.“You will all agree with me that our goddess has been blessed, and it is evident in the good news we are celebrating today,” he said, pointing at me and Leo.A ripple of agreeme
Damien’s povThe soft hum of classical music greeted me as I entered the grand hall, my polished shoes clicking against the marble floor. The lightning decorations above bathed the environment in a warm golden glow, casting delicate patterns on the grounds. Guests were scattered throughout, sipping on champagne and mingling in groups. Everyone was dressed to impress, as they always were at these events.I adjusted the hem of his tailored caftan with matching pants against my skin. I scanned the room, my sharp gaze catching familiar faces. The room buzzed with excitement and curiosity—my invitation had been vague, after all. I had called it a “special celebration” without revealing the true purpose of the night. That, of course, was deliberate. Let them speculate.I looked around the venue. By this time the last of the guests were seated, the ceremonial grounds were packed. Rows upon rows of chairs stretched out before the grand dais, which was adorned with cascading white flowers and
“I hope they checked around the area for others. Anyway, Tobias knows his job.”“Yes, he does. He said they checked thoroughly, and there was no other wolf around.“Probably stray rogues,” Rowan chuckled. “Nothing to worry about. Still, we have tight security.”My lips twitched with a ghost of a smile at Rowan’s words. Rogues are already considered stray wolves as they have an allegiance or loyalty to any pack. So he calls these ones stray rogues, and it's just him having a run of words.“You used the elite warriors we trained for security tonight, right?” I asked for another confirmation from him. I’m sure he will understand why I am asking for reassurance. This note might be nothing, or it might mean something huge.He nodded. “Like we planned. This place is highly secured.”“However, tell our warriors to be on alert, as we don’t want any surprises.”“Sure, alpha,” Rowan said and pointed at me. “Now you need to go and dress up. You will soon be called for your address.”I slapped hi
She’d said she was happy, and I believed her, but something about the timing felt off. Why now? Why did she seem so eager to leave the packhouse and follow him back to his territory? I shook my head. Maybe I’m overthinking this.I shook off the thought, forcing my focus back to the task at hand. I didn’t have the luxury of distraction tonight.“Alpha Damien,” a familiar voice called out, pulling me from my reverie. I turned to see Tobias, my Gamma, approaching with a grim expression. Tobias was tall and broad, with a sharp, no-nonsense demeanor that made him indispensable to me and this pack.“What is it?” I asked, my voice low.“There’s been... a situation,” Tobias said, lowering his voice further. “One of the scouts reported movement near the northern border. It might be a rogue.”My jaw tightened, my instincts sharpening instantly. Rogues. They were a persistent problem, always testing the boundaries, looking for weak points to exploit. Normally, they wouldn’t dare approach on a n
“I want you to be happy, Denise. But I need to know you're not rushing into something because it feels right at the moment. Luke might be a good man, but remember, a mate bond isn’t just about feelings. It’s about trust and understanding as you would be getting married soon.”“I know, I know,” she replied, her voice slightly exasperated but still gentle. “I’m not a child anymore, Damien. I can make my own decisions.”I smirked, my protective instincts easing for a moment. “Of course, you're an adult now. But I’ll always be your brother, and I’ll always look out for you.”I paused, watching her for a moment. My heart softened as I realized just how much she had grown up in the past few years, though my protective instincts still ran deep. She is not the same young lady I sent to the human world to school.“Are you happy, though?” I asked softly.She met my gaze and smiled. “Yes. I am. I didn’t think it was possible to feel like this with anyone, but he makes me feel safe. I think that’
I left his hand as soon as we got close to the doors. I wouldn’t want them to see me with my hands in his for now. When we are properly introduced, then I can hold his hand all I want. Luke seemed to agree as he just smiled at me. The moment Luke pushed the doors open, the room erupted into cheers.“Beta Luke!” one of the men shouted, his voice booming. Several others surged forward, clapping Luke on the back and shaking his hand. Their joy was palpable, and it warmed something deep inside me to see how much they respected him.“It’s good to see all of you,” Luke said, his voice carrying over the noise. He raised a hand to quiet them, and the room fell silent almost instantly. “I know there’s been a lot of confusion, but I want to assure you that everything is resolved. What happened was a misunderstanding, and it’s been handled.”The men exchanged glances, nodding in approval.“What about back home, Beta?” one of them asked. “Is everything secure there?”Luke smiled faintly. “I’ve he
“But I can assure them of his release, too. I can even take one of them back to the dungeon to prove it to them if that’s what it takes.”“I still think it's a bad idea, Lyra. The guests have started arriving,” he said, releasing my arm. Then he nodded towards the crowd outside. “I saw your father’s assistant as I was coming in just now.”“Oh. We wouldn’t want him seeing me now and trying something so soon.”“Exactly,” Rowan said, nodding his head as we were all on board with the plan.I sighed. “I think you are right. Find Luke and tell him his men need him.”“Sure, Luna,” he said, smiling.I decided to head inside my room, our room and start getting ready for the event. As Rowan said, the guests have started arriving, and the event will start soon. I need to dress up and also make sure that Leo is ready.I turned back and headed upstairs. I wonder what sort of clothing I should put on. I need something that would pass a message without being shouting or showy, something that would
I loved having him big and hot inside of my sopping wet hole. I love the feeling. I wanted to cum already, and I started to ride him faster and harder. I moaned his name out loud as I pointed towards my climax. His hands squeezed my nipples hard to bring me even more pleasure before sliding downwards to hold my hips.Damien started thrusting his hips up to meet me midway to bury his cock even deeper inside with each thrust. He was thrusting so fast and hard compared to my own previous thrusting rhythm. It felt so hot.“Does it feel good? You’re squeezing me so tightly down there,” Damien whispered in my ear while pounding his heat into me harder. I hope he is not trying to get into a rut. I’m not sure I want another pup just yet.“Yes,” I answered in a whisper. I wasn’t sure he heard me, so I nodded in response and hugged his neck as I bounced up and down on his cock. I moaned and kissed him hard, grinding my tongue against his as I ground my hips and pussy wall against his cock. My
