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

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

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

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

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
Last Updated : 2024-12-21Luna Lyra Did he talk?
DamienThe dungeon was a cold, damp chamber beneath the packhouse, lit by a single flickering lantern. I stood outside the cell, my arms crossed, glaring at the rogue who had shifted back into his human form. The man was wiry, with scars running across his face and arms. He sat slumped against the wall, his breathing ragged but his eyes defiant.I signaled for the guard to open the cell and I went in with Rowan standing just outside. I glared at the man who was looking at me without any fear in his eyes.“Who sent you?” I demanded, my tone like the crack of a whip.The rogue just looked at me and chuckled, a low, grating sound that only stoked my anger. He didn’t answer my question. This infuriated me and I can’t use my alpha aura on him because he is not a member of my pack.“I said who sent you to attack my people?” “You think I’ll talk?” the rogue sneered. “You have no idea what’s coming.”“You’re going to tell me everything,” I said coldly, stepping closer. “Or I’ll make you wish
Last Updated : 2024-12-22Luna Lyra His obsession
MarcusI couldn’t keep still. My legs carried me around my study in restless circles, the ornate carpet muffling my hurried steps. The large grandfather clock in the corner ticked away mercilessly, a constant reminder that time was running out. Three days, three whole fu*king days has passed.Yet I have not heard anything from the person I sent to Crewwood. I had sent that useless, son of a wh*re to do a simple job. A simple job. And not a single word from him since.The Sol Group meeting loomed over me like a dark cloud, set for tomorrow. I could feel the weight of it pressing down on my chest. Facing them without the little child in my possession wasn’t something I’d planned. But now I have to go along with them and pretend that all is well.Oh, that blasted son of mine! Any fool could have done this job effectively. What’s so difficult in picking up a baby, a little human being?“Damn!” I said as I hit a flower vase my wife had kept in a corner. It shattered to pieces. I looked at
Last Updated : 2024-12-23Luna Lyra Her Gift
LyraI arrived at the Luna's house just as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a soft golden hue across the hills. The evening air was cool, carrying the scent of pine and earth, Calista's favorite, I thought, as I walked up the gravel driveway. This is because I perceive this scent more than others here.Luna Calista greeted me at the door, her arms open wide, and that familiar warmth of her presence made the tension in my chest ease for the first time all day. Her hair was still a wild cascade of dark curls, and her eyes, they always seemed to be full of mischief. But I have known Calista to be anything but calm and gentle."Lyra!" she said, pulling me into a tight hug. "Good to see you. How are you doing?”I smiled and hugged her back. "I am good. And you?" "I am doing great,Lyra." She stepped back, eyeing my son, Leo, who was in my arms looking around the room, his wide eyes full of curiosity.”And how is my little man?" I passed Leo to her and he didn’t even make a sound

Luna Lyra The prisoner’s truth
The stone steps of the dungeon felt colder than usual, the chill creeping through my boots as we descended into the depths of the keep. Lyra walked beside me, her face set with determination, but I could see the tension in her jaw and the tightness around her eyes that suggested something deeper.I didn’t know what to expect when we saw the prisoner, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were walking into something far more complicated than either of us realized. The prisoner had been quiet ever since he was brought here, his fate uncertain. We reached the steel door of the holding cells, and the guard standing outside nodded to us as he unlocked the gate. The flickering torchlight cast long shadows on the walls, illuminating the grim stone floor and the narrow, damp hallway. I glanced at Lyra, but she was already stepping forward, her steps measured.Inside the cell, the prisoner sat against the cold wall, his arms chained to a rusted iron ring bolted into the stone. He looked mo
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 Help for Luke
“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 chai
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
