Damien

The boardroom was buzzing with energy, a palpable sense of anticipation hanging in the air as the senior members of our pack’s business elite gathered around the long table. 

The Sol Group’s proposed collaboration was the biggest project our territory had seen in decades, and it promised to bring massive development to our pack. The chance to modernize our infrastructure, build state-of-the-art real estate, and put our pack on the map as a major player in the global economy was within our grasp.

I glanced around the room, my gaze settling on the faces of the board members—most of them eager, ready to move forward with the deal. But one face stood out, as it always did. Elder Marcus. He sat back in his chair, arms crossed, an impenetrable expression on his face. 

“This collaboration with The Sol Group is our chance to push forward,” I began, addressing the room. “Their expertise in real estate development is unmatched, and this partnership will bring jobs, investment, and prosperity to our people. I see no reason to delay any further.”

A murmur of agreement rippled through the room, but Marcus remained silent, his gaze fixed on me with that same unreadable expression. Finally, he leaned forward, clearing his throat.

“With all due respect, Alpha Damian,” he began, his voice measured, “I believe this is a premature decision. Real estate development, while lucrative, should not be our primary focus at this time. We have other pressing concerns that require our attention—concerns that could directly impact the safety and well-being of our pack.”

I suppressed the urge to punch something. Or him. This wasn’t the first time Marcus had attempted to block a decision I made, and I doubted it would be the last. This is a project I have been working on for months.

“Elder Marcus,” I addressed him, forcing a smile. “I understand your concerns, but we’ve discussed these issues at length. The rogues have been quiet for months, and our defenses are stronger than ever. This project isn’t just about profit; it’s about securing the future of our pack. The Sol Group is offering us a rare opportunity, and we’d be foolish to pass it up.”

“Foolish?” Marcus’s voice rose, his eyes narrowing as he glared at me. “What’s foolish, Damian, is rushing into a deal without considering the long-term consequences.”

The muscles in my mouth twitched but I controlled myself.

“Long-term consequences?” I questioned, wondering if this man derives immense pleasure in opposing me everytime. “You are saying you have better ideas for this project?”

That seemed to annoy him.

“Have you forgotten who held this pack together when you were off chasing ghosts?” he said through clenched teeth. “I kept this pack thriving, and I did it without needing the help of outsiders. We’ve survived just fine without The Sol Group.”

The tension in the room thickened, and I could feel the eyes of the other board members darting back and forth between us.

“I haven’t forgotten, Elder Marcus,” I replied, my voice cold and controlled. “I respect the work you did in my absence.”

“Then you should also respect my opinion on this issue,” he said, smiling to himself. “We can survive just fine without another pack’s help.”

‘That man is a pr*ck!’ Adol muttered in my head. I forced a smile on my face. He thinks he’s smart but I remembered how easily I deceived him on the day Lyra disappeared.

When he came charging to my study that day asking for his daughter, I told him I was going to the border to look for her. Meanwhile I went there and dealt with the rogues that wanted to penetrate my borders.

“But Elder Marcus,” I gave him a patronizing smile. “Times have changed. We can’t keep clinging to the past. This collaboration is about growth, progress and development. Our pack deserves to be more than just being survivors.”

Marcus opened his mouth to retort, but just then, his assistant, a wiry man named Garret, leaned down and whispered something in his ear. Marcus’s expression flickered, his eyes widened and then narrowed again as he absorbed whatever information was being conveyed. Without another word, he excused himself and followed Garret out of the room.

I watched him closely and it seemed as if I heard him say Lyra? I didn’t hear the words but as I was watching his assistant, his mouth formed the words - Lyra. It might be my imagination but I mindlinked my beta to try and see if he can overhear their discussion. He nodded, knowing what to do.

‘That man is up to no good,’ Adol said and I agree with him.

I watched him go, my mind racing with possibilities. What news could have been so urgent that Marcus would leave in the middle of such an important meeting? 

‘He’s planning something,” Adol said. ‘And it is not something good.’

‘Well, Rowan is on it,’ I replied to my wolf.

My instincts told me it was something significant, but I pushed the thought aside and refocused on the task at hand. The rest of the board was still waiting for my lead.

“Let’s move forward,” I said, my voice firm. “I propose we finalize the terms of the agreement with The Sol Group. We can’t afford to let this opportunity slip through our fingers.”

The board members nodded in agreement, and we resumed our discussion, hammering out the final details of the deal. But even as we talked strategy and numbers, my thoughts kept drifting back to Marcus and his sudden departure.

Soon my beta came back and told me through mindlink, what he heard.

‘They were rounding up when I got to them but I heard the last few sentences. Here’s what Elder Marcus told his assistant: Tell that bastard son of mine to take care of her. Let him prove his usefulness to me for once.’

‘What?’ I mind linked back to Rowan and he shrugged. 

This got me worried. Who is the ‘her’ they are taking care of? But wait. Elder Marcus has another child? A son?

  • Luna Lyra   Meeting for the Sol Group

    DamienLyra was supposed to be the only child of Marcus and his wife. But now I’m hearing there’s another child?Wait, he called him a bastard child. That means it's not his wife that gave birth to the boy. What a surprise!‘You mean the man everyone is looking up to as a faithful husband is actually screwing another woman?’ Adol sneered in my head. I could hear the surprise in his voice.Everyone in our pack believed Elder Marcus was one of the few men who doesn’t look at another woman beside his wife. As an elder, they were supposed to be above board, leaving an impeccable life others will emulate.But once in a while, they slip up especially the male wolves and you see them messing with other women. They are always excused as it is not uncommon for males to go after women.But Elder Marcus had convinced everyone he was different. You can’t catch him talking to another woman besides his wife or daughter. Now, I’m hearing he had another child, a son for that matter. There’s a lot I d

  • Luna Lyra   Elder Marcus Anger

    MarcusNB: 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   Elder Marcus is shocked

    “Good. Now you need to call your nanny to carry Leo, so you will have time to dance with your man. You need to show off that slit more and show that b*tch that you are in charge.”I smiled but I agreed with her. I haven’t really shown my husband my beautiful outfit so I looked towards the nanny and motioned for her to come. She came and carried Leo while I continued chatting with Denise. Soon Damien rejoined us.“You look lovely Denise,” he complimented his sister.***Damien’s povWhile I greeted the guest I saw Luke and his warriors and I went to them and thanked them specially for all they have for my wife and I. I also thanked them for staying for the ceremony and wished them safe travels tomorrow.I clasped Luke by the shoulder and took him a little way out from his people.“I hear that you are my sister’s mate.” “Yes, Damien. I just found out too and as you can imagine I am just as surprised.”“But I hear you are already making plans.” I looked dead in the eyes.He didn’t cower

  • Luna Lyra   The speech

    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

  • Luna Lyra   Celine comes for Damien

    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 t

  • Luna Lyra   Lost in a daydream

    “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

  • Luna Lyra   An Ominous note

    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

  • Luna Lyra   I am going back with him

    “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’

  • Luna Lyra   Are we going home?

    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
