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

  • 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   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   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   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,

    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 chai

    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

    “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   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

  • Luna Lyra   Arresting Luke

    Adol was almost on the surface as my eyes turned black. My guards, seeing what had happened, brought out their own weapons and faced them. The room was on the brink of chaos. Warriors from both sides faced off, tension crackling in the air. Weapons were drawn, and it felt like the smallest spark would ignite a deadly fight.Luke, now sitting on the floor, held up a hand. “Stop,” he said, his voice steady despite the blood on his face. “There’s no need for anyone to get hurt.”He slowly got to his feet, looking directly at me. “If you want me, then take me. But leave my men out of this.”His warriors protested, but he silenced them with a sharp look. “Stand down,” he commanded. “That’s an order.”Reluctantly, they obeyed, stepping back. I motioned to my guards, who moved in and grabbed Luke. As they dragged him away, he didn’t resist. He simply looked at me, his expression calm but unreadable.Rowan caught my arm as I turned to leave. “Damien, what is going on? You’re acting like a

    Damien’s povThat was all the answer I needed. I smiled, came down from the bed, and pulled her toward the edge of the bed until her feet were on the ground. I didn’t know whether she could stand steady with the way her body was still shaking from the org*sm. So I held her to steady her, but surprisingly, she stood firm.I turn her around so she back is facing me.“Now, bend over, and let me fuck you,” I told her.She did and then raised her ass up for my full view. This was intoxicating; and my wolf groaned at the sight as I grabbed her ass and brought them closer to me. I released a moan as I put my cock into her hole and thrust.I thrust again and again as she moaned in pleasure. I put a hand in her hair, pulling her head back. My tongue traces her neck, flicking it over her mark. She moans as my teeth scrape the mark. I knew it was just as sensitive as her clit, and she couldn't get enough.I thrust up into her again, a mixture of pain and pleasure tears through my body, as I felt

  • Luna Lyra   I missed my wife

    Lyra’s povSeeing that Denise was not responding to my calls, I decided to touch her to bring her back to earth. I wonder what could make her to be so lost in thought like this. She nearly jumped out of her skin when my hand reached her arm. I apologized for startling her and asked if everything was okay with her. She tried to downplay it, but I knew there was something wrong.Anyway, I walked her back to the room since she said she would not be coming down for dinner. Maybe a good night's rest will help her, like she said. Yet, I wondered what could worry her like this. Denise is not a woman that things get to so easily. I sighed and turned around to head to my room.I believed she was lying when she said Luke looked like someone she knows. As far as I know, Luke never ventured into the human city for anything. But then, why was she interested in him? Could it be that he was the source of her worry? What a silly thought, I chide myself. They are meeting for the first time today, so

  • Luna Lyra   You can’t enter

    Damien pov I stood at the main entrance of the packhouse, my arms crossed as I waited for Marcus to arrive. Adol stirred uneasily, sensing the tension in the air. He had always been looking for an opportunity to tear at Marcus. ‘Relax, Adol,’ I tell him. ‘There is no need to fight. We are just here to talk.’‘Are you sure about that? I neither trust nor like that man.’‘Same with me. But that doesn’t mean we should fight him.’‘What if he wants to fight us? What if he wants to enter the house by force?’‘I won’t allow that to happen,’ I answered, stepping forward to intercept the elder as I just sighted him. Marcus approached, his brisk strides and sharp expression giving away his annoyance.“Damien,” Marcus greeted, his tone clipped. “My assistant informed me that there are visitors from Crewwood inside the packhouse. Is that true?”I gave a short nod to acknowledge him, my expression calm but firm. “Elder Marcus. It is true.”His eyes narrowed. “Then I want to see them. It’s not e

  • Luna Lyra   What will she do?

    From what she told me, she was closer to the Luna of that pack. So, she might not know this guy that well. So what am I going to do now? Should I keep quiet and pretend that I didn’t just find my mate? A mate that I have been praying for all these while?Then what happens after tomorrow when they go home? Should I go back and talk to him about the mate bond? No, the mate bond is a strong pull, and the wolves that feel it are not able to resist it. You can try to resist it for a while, especially if you are a ranked member of a pack. Yeah, it comes with the training, but eventually, you have to do something about it. I think I should relax, go to bed, and wait for tomorrow to see what happens.I thought I was still walking towards my room, not knowing that I had stopped and was literally standing in one place. As I stood there, my thoughts kept drifting back to that man. The beta, my mate. I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was far from over. If he truly was my mate, we’d have to

  • Luna Lyra   Her mate

    Everyone is fine. He said it was a sort of flash attack, brief and short. They killed off the small number of wolves that came. But he just wanted me to inform me so we would be careful on our way back.”“Oh okay. That’s good of him,” Lyra said. “I hope you’ve been fed. We have enough food and drinks for all of you.”“Don’t worry, Lyra. We are good,” the man said, touching Lyra’s arm tenderly. If I didn't know better I would say he was flirting with my brother’s wife. I wonder if he is aware of what his scent is doing to my wolf. To me.Axel, my wolf, has been so sure as soon as we entered this room that he is the one. She has been prancing in my head, and I could feel her pushing forward, whispering, no, shouting the word: Mate. Axel wanted me to jump him as soon as we identified where the smell was coming from.But that would be rash. Besides I am the woman here and he is the man. Although since we are not entirely human, a woman can go to a man. I, for one, don’t have any reservati

  • Luna Lyra   Greeting the guests

    Denise pov“Hello, little one,” I said warmly, kneeling to his level. “I’m your Aunt Denise. It’s so nice to finally meet you.”Leo giggled and reached out a tiny hand, and I felt a pang of emotion I hadn’t expected. He looks so much like my brother. I took his hand gently, marveling at how small it was.“Come, let me carry you a bit,” I said to Leo, stretching out my hand. To my pleasant surprise, he agreed. He stretched both of his hands, and I lifted him up. “Oh, you are quite a big boy.”He gave me a sweet, goofy smile as I bounced him around in my arms.“He’s beautiful, Lyra,” I said, glancing up at my sister-in-law. “You and Damien have every reason to be proud.”Lyra’s smile was radiant. “We are. He’s our little miracle.”“Now, you are making me want a pup of my own,” I smiled, still looking at Leo.“Oh, but you will have your own. And not just one but many pups. Because I know how much you love children, Denise.”I chuckled. She was right. “Well, only with my true mate.”“The

  • Luna Lyra   Talking with Denise

    My smile tightened. “Thank you. It’s been an adjustment but a rewarding one.”Denise was a vision in power dressing. Her crisp white blouse, tailored to perfection, accentuated her sharp collarbones. A sleek black pencil skirt hugged her curves, while a sharp blazer completed the look, exuding an air of confidence and professionalism. Her hair, usually worn in loose waves, was pulled back into a polished chignon, showcasing her delicate features. A pair of classic pumps, their heels clicking confidently against the floor of the offic, completed the ensemble. She probably dressed this way in order to impress my father. Although, to her credit, Denise always knows how to dress up. Anywhere she is going, she knows how to look sharp. She knows just the right outfit that will complement her figures and for the event. I smiled faintly. Still, I am sure she picked this outfit today at the new firm, determined to make a lasting impression on not just my father but the people at …. The sile

    Damien's povI watched Lyra as she hesitated by the window, her eyes clouded with worry. I approached her, wrapping my arms gently around her waist.“What’s on your mind, love?” I asked softly.She leaned into me, her body relaxing slightly but her tone carrying her unease. “I was just thinking about the other room downstairs. Since I am going to stay here, who will use my former room?”My lips curled into a small smile. “That will be our son’s room. Leo deserves a space of his own, doesn’t he?”“Yes, he does,” she replied.“That’s why I told the nanny to convert your former room to become a nursery where our son will stay.”“You are getting my point. The room is downstairs while ours is upstairs.”“I don’t quite get you. Can you explain further?” I asked her.Lyra turned in my arms, her brows furrowed. “I don’t think it’s a good idea. I’d prefer it if he had a room close to our bedroom upstairs. That way, I can feel secure knowing he’s safe and within our reach, especially after…” S
