“What? Your half-brother?” Luke asked.I nodded slowly and whispered, “Yes.”“But, how come he doesn’t know you? And why will he come here to kidnap your son? Why…” Luke’s face hardened, and I saw the realization hit him just as it had struck me. He leaned back, his eyes narrowed as he processed the information. "Wait. He doesn’t know you are related?”I shook my head, feeling utterly lost. "No, he doesn’t know. It seems my father hid him from everyone. That’s why I didn’t recognize him the first time he was brought in here.”“So, how did you know he is your half-sibling?”I exhaled loudly. “I’m not 100% sure, but …”“Lyra.” Luke looked straight at me. “What do you mean?”I leaned into the chair and started my story. “Some years ago, my mother found out that my father was cheating on her. When she tried to confront him, he told her that since she couldn’t give him a male child, he was going to get it outside. According to my mom, she noticed that there was a time he was spending more
LukeI was silent for a moment, running a hand through my hair. Then, I turned to face Lyra, my lips pressed into a thin line. “I… don’t know. He might have. But even if he hasn’t, we can’t risk acting on our own right now. The only thing we can do is wait until he gets back.”She let out a shaky breath, nodding slowly. “If alpha Jaxon had already told him about me and Leo, then …” She said. “Who knows what he is planning right now. My father can be quite unpredictable.”“Don't worry, Lyra,” I told her, my expression softening. "I think its best we wait for Jaxon. We should wait for the Alpha to return and then tell him everything. He’s the one who can help us make sense of this. Besides, he has more power than either of us." “Okay,’ she said with her head bowed. Her voice trembled with the fear that had been gnawing at her ever since we heard the prisoner’s words.“Maybe I should call him,” I said, bringing out my phone. But I stopped midway, because I remebered that the alpha and
I noticed that the Luna was there as well. She must have missed her husband a lot. However, Jaxon likes her to stay in the office during some of our meetings. Her wise counsel has helped us on many occasions. I nodded to her in greeting, then turned to my alpha.“Jaxon, you are back,” I greeted him.“Yes, Luke. I trust there was no problem while we were away.”I shook my head, and he nodded. “Good. I have a task for you, but we’ll talk later.”After saying that, the Alpha’s piercing blue eyes locked onto Lyra. “Welcome back, Alpha Jaxon,” Lyra greeted him in a low voice.“Lyra, how are you and the baby?”“We are good, alpha.”His presence was commanding, as always, but his tone was unexpectedly warm. “Lyra,” he began. “You’ll be returning to Axelland soon.”His words hit Lyra like a punch to the gut. She froze, her breath catching audibly. Then the tears came, streaming down her face as sobs wracked her body. “No,” she whispered, shaking her head. “No, I can’t go back. Please, don’t
Lyra“What is it?” Jaxon asked and I turned to look at Luke wondering what he was talking about.“It's about the prisoner,” Luke said. “We are not sure yet but he may be related to Lyra.”I told Jaxon all I know about my father’s son based on what my mother told me. Based on what the prisoner narrated, it’s likely that he is the same person, Luke told him. The alpha listened calmly to our story and then made his decision.“He will not be executed,” he said and I heaved a sigh of relief. “For now. For all we know he may have heard that story from your real half-brother. Anyway, since we would be collaborating more with your pack, we will surely know the truth in the coming days.”“Okay,” I said, understanding why he said that. Truth be told, I am not entirely sure that he is my relative as I have never met him before nor have my mother. “I have to go now alpha. I have to check on Leo.”“Okay, Lyra,” Jaxon answered. “Remember what I said. Anything at all, you let me know.”“Thank you a
I smiled to myself, closing my eyes and letting Uru’s words wash over me. For the first time in months, I felt at peace. The fire crackled softly in the hearth, and the room was warm and inviting. My thoughts drifted to the future, to the life I was about to reclaim. I pictured Damien holding our son for the first time, his eyes softening in a way I’d only seen a handful of times before. I imagined him smiling at me, not with duty, but with genuine affection and pride.“We’ll get there,” I whispered, more to myself than to Uru. “One step at a time.”Sleep pulled at me, and I didn’t resist. Later in the night, I have a chaotic dream about meeting Damien. First, he was happy to see us. He was smiling broadly as he came close to me. Then his face turned gloomy, and he frowned while looking at me as if he was not happy to see me. What could this dream mean?****JaxonThe room was dimly lit, the only source of light coming from the crackling fireplace. I leaned over the large oak table
DamienHere in Axelland, my excitement was palpable. I stood in my office, pacing for some time, then stopping to think about something. Rowan, leaned against the desk, watching me with an amused expression.“You’re going to wear a hole in the floor,” he said, smirking. “Calm down, Damien. Everything is under control.”I shot him a look. “I can’t calm down, Rowan. Do you realize how long it’s been since I’ve seen Lyra? And I’ve never even met my son. My son, Rowan. I’m about to meet him for the first time. How am I supposed to stay calm?”Rowan chuckled, shaking his head. “You’re hopeless. But I get it. It’s a big moment. Just remember, this is about Lyra too. She’s been through hell. You need to… I don’t know, treat her better than you have in the past.”Adol growled softly in agreement, and I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck. “I know. I’ve made mistakes. But I’ll make it up to her. She deserves better. And so does our son.”“Good,” Rowan said, his tone serious now. “Because if
The door opened to reveal a younger version of me, a female version of me.“Denise!” I shouted standing up.She looked up at me, her face lighting up with a smile. “Damien!”She came inside, looking every bit the part of a confident, accomplished woman. Her auburn hair was tied back in a neat bun, and her tailored coat gave her an air of sophistication.I walked close to her and pulled her into a tight hug, lifting her off the ground for a moment. She laughed, the sound warm and familiar.“It’s so good to see you,” I said, stepping back to look at her. “You look amazing. The human world has been good to you.”She grinned. “And you look… the same. Still brooding and intense, I see.”I chuckled, shaking my head. “You haven’t changed a bit. Come seat. There’s so much to catch up on.”“Welcome Denise,” Rowan greeted her, also standing.“Hey Rowan,” she answered.I rang the bell and one of the Omega came. I told them to prepare some delicious food for my sister and to help her settle in he
The morning was crisp and bright as I stood on the porch, staring out at the snow-capped mountains. My thoughts were filled with anticipation, Lyra and our son were on their way home. The idea of finally meeting my boy made my heart race, and my wolf’s excitement was a constant hum in the back of my mind.Adol was constantly prancing in my head, he couldn't wait to see his mate. At one point I had gone out for a run. I just let him take control and we ran into the forest. We ran and ran until he was tired. That was the only thing that calmed Adol down for us to sleep. I needed the run too to clear my head.I leaned back in the plush armchair in the sitting room looking at Denise as she smiled at me. She was ready to go meet Marcus to put our plan in motion. Yesterday she had given us a good suggestion that solved our problem of a distraction for Marcus. “Are sure you about this, Denise?” I asked her. I wouldn’t want her to do this because she feels it is the only way. I still don’t t
“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
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,
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
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
“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
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
