Aiden POV

Aiden stood at the edge of the grand hall, watching from the shadows as the Lycan Prince strode through the pack house with an air of authority that had everyone’s attention. It had been less than a day since the Prince’s arrival, and already, everything had changed.

But the change that bothered him the most? The way Prince Kane had reacted to her.

Lyra.

Aiden clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms as he recalled the humiliating scene earlier. Kane, the almighty Lycan Prince, had found her broken and bleeding in the cells beneath the pack house. There had been a flicker of shock, then fury in the Prince’s eyes when he realized what had been done to her.

Why did it bother him so much? Why did Lyra matter to a Prince?

Aiden shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts, but the image of her haunted him. He’d thought he was done with her. He’d rejected her for a reason - she was beneath him, an Omega, a nobody. But seeing her fragile form, seeing her clinging to lif

It's all about Aiden now. He rejected her now thinks he owns her. I hope Kane takes care of Aiden.

So far I’m loving this story. I can’t wait to see the story progress between Jane & Lyra. Then read about Kane kicking Aiden’s ass! That can’t come quick enough.

    Aiden's POVAiden paced furiously in his quarters, his fists clenched, his thoughts tangled. Every fiber of his being, every nerve, screamed for him to act, to reclaim what had been taken from him. His wolf stirred restlessly inside him, snarling with frustration." She’s ours. How could you let him touch her?"The sharp reminder made Aiden’s heart pound with anger. He’d cast Lyra aside, yes, but that was before he realized the depth of their connection. His rejection had been a mistake, and now Kane, the Lycan Prince, thought he had the right to claim her? The very thought twisted Aiden's gut with jealousy and rage.He could feel his wolf pushing against his control, demanding action, demanding blood."You’ll have to fight him," his wolf whispered darkly. "You’ll have to take her back."Aiden gritted his teeth, imagining Kane’s smug face, the way he looked at Lyra as if she were something to be pitied. He wouldn't stand by and let Kane steal her away.

    Kane's POVKane stood frozen for a moment, his golden eyes scanning Lyra’s still form, every inch of her battered body a testament to the brutality she'd suffered at the hands of his pack's Alpha and his daughter. She looked fragile - broken. He could feel her fading heartbeat, her once-vibrant energy nearly extinguished.A surge of fury rose in him, sharper than anything he had ever felt before. How dare they - his own people - treat her like this? This fragile, beautiful, broken girl was his second-chance mate. And she wasn’t going to die. Not like this. Not because of their cruelty.The healer, Evelyn, had already begun to administer IV fluids, but even as she worked, it was clear Lyra wasn’t responding as she should. Her skin was cold to the touch, and her breaths shallow, almost non-existent.Kane's Lycan side stirred restlessly, and a dark, primal force inside him rose in response to her suffering. He couldn’t let her die.Turning to Evelyn, he spoke sharply, his voice cold and f

    Kane's POVKane’s mind was a storm of fury and suspicion as he strode down the darkened corridors of the Blackstone Pack’s estate. Lyra lay resting in his room, finally stable but still vulnerable after everything she had endured. Every time he thought about her condition, the bruises and wounds covering her frail body, he felt his Lycan rage boil within him, pushing him to unleash it on the very people responsible.But he needed answers, not just vengeance. He needed to understand how the pack had fallen so far, and he intended to start with the two who led it: Alpha Caden and Luna Regina.Kane found Thorne waiting in his quarters. Thorne’s expression was serious, his eyes a sharp contrast to his usual easy-going demeanor. He’d seen Lyra’s condition and knew this was no ordinary investigation.Kane shut the door, crossing the room in a few tense steps. “I want every scrap of information we can find about this pack. Whatever we need to uncover, whatever is hidden here, I want it laid b

    Kane's POVThe Blackstone Pack had built its strength on loyalty and fear. Kane could see that much in the wary glances cast his way as he moved through the corridors, each member too afraid to meet his gaze for long. He felt a simmering rage as he remembered the fear in Lyra’s eyes, her scarred body a testament to the horrors hidden behind these walls. Tonight, he would expose every last one of Regina’s lies.He entered the hall where the pack members had begun gathering, no doubt summoned by the whispered rumors that the Lycan Prince had a reason for them all to be there. Kane scanned the faces of the gathered pack, noting the tense postures, the flickers of confusion and apprehension. He found himself locking eyes with Thorne, who gave him a subtle nod. Thorne’s own investigations had uncovered enough for Kane to have a clear picture of what truly lay beneath the Blackstone Pack’s veneer.Kane stepped forward, letting silence fall over the crowd as all eyes turned toward him.“Many

    As Kane guided her away from the oppressive walls of the Blackstone Pack house, Lyra felt a strange mixture of relief and apprehension. The night air was cool, washing over her with a gentle touch that contrasted with the fire still lingering in her heart. Her body was still weak, recovering from days of mistreatment, but for the first time, she felt a glimmer of freedom. She glanced up at Kane, uncertain of his motives yet drawn to his strength and steady presence.They walked in silence for a while, the soft crunch of leaves beneath their feet and the distant rustling of the forest filling the quiet between them. Kane finally led her to the riverbank, where the water glistened under the moonlight. They stopped, and he gestured for her to sit beside him on a fallen log.“Are you comfortable?” Kane’s voice was gentle, as though he sensed her unease.Lyra hesitated but nodded, not wanting to show any more weakness. “Yes…thank you.” Her voice was barely a whisper, but she managed to mee

Kane’s heart softened at the sight of her, but he knew he couldn’t afford to linger - there were answers he needed to find, and Regina’s lies to unravel.He headed down the hallway, his footsteps falling silent on the cold stone floor, each step a reminder of the grim task ahead. He would root out every trace of the darkness that had infected this pack, ensuring that no one would ever threaten Lyra again. As he approached the office of Alpha Caden, he signaled to Thorne, who had been waiting outside, ready for whatever came next.“Thorne,” Kane said, nodding to his commander, “I’ll need you to accompany me. We’re going to investigate the records and interview any witnesses who can shed light on what’s been happening here.”Thorne gave a short nod, his eyes hardening with determination. “Understood,

    Lyra could hardly believe her reflection. Gone was the hollow-eyed, exhausted girl she had grown accustomed to seeing; in her place was someone new, someone who might even be called… hopeful. Her hand lingered at the collar of the gown Evelyn had brought for her, fingers brushing the soft fabric. It was finer than anything she’d worn in years, and the weight of it felt almost like an anchor, something to keep her steady in the storm ahead.Evelyn’s words echoed in her mind. “He sees strength in you.” Lyra wanted desperately to believe it, but doubt gnawed at her heart.“Lyra, they’re waiting,” Evelyn said softly, touching her shoulder.Lyra nodded, steeling herself as she stepped into the corridor, each step carrying her closer to the chamber where Kane, his father, and the Council members awaited. Her mind raced with doubts and worries. Would they see her as nothing more than the broken slave she’d been all her life? Could she truly stand before them and face their judgment?As she e

    The dawn was just breaking over the Blackstone Pack’s grounds, casting long shadows across the assembled crowd in the courtyard. The elders of the Lycan Council, each draped in ceremonial robes that bore the insignia of their rank, stood alongside King Alaric. The Lycan King’s presence alone cast an aura of solemn authority, his silver gaze steely and unyielding. Kane stood by his father’s side, his own expression unreadable yet tense, his protective stance making it clear that his support lay with Lyra.Lyra, standing beside Kane, felt the eyes of every pack member trained upon her. She glanced at Kane, who gave her a reassuring nod, his gaze steady and unwavering. But her heart raced; she was no longer hiding in the shadows. Her time had come to tell her story.As murmurs rose through the crowd, King Alaric raised his hand, silencing them with a single, commanding motion. “Today, we are here to investigate the actions of Alpha Caden and Luna Regina, who stand accused of cruelty, abu

    Lyra POV The battlefield had gone silent. Smoke drifted in slow spirals, carrying the scent of charred magic and iron. The fires were still burning, but no one moved to put them out. The witches stood frozen in their circles, eyes wide. Warriors clutched weapons they would never raise. Because all eyes were on her and on him. Kane knelt at the heart of the broken ring, cracked stone glowing with sigils that no longer pulsed. His hands dug into the earth, breath coming in ragged gasps, and his back arched in pain as the Harbinger’s presence writhed inside him - like a second heartbeat made of shadows and fire. But it was still Kane’s face. Still his eyes. Lyra stepped forward slowly. She couldn’t feel her feet. Couldn’t feel her hands. Only the pulsing ache in her chest - the last thread of their bond, frayed and bleeding. Ekreth stood to her right, arms folded, waiting like a vulture made of smoke and starlight. His wings curled inward as if to shield her from what came

    Lyra POV The air reeked of blood and burning wards. From the highest spire, Lyra watched shadow creatures pour through the eastern breach - just as planned. Their forms rippled with unnatural grace, bones wrong beneath stretching skin, eyes like coals. The trap was set. Glyphs flared to life in a massive ring around the breach, turning the battlefield into a burning cage. And still they came. The creatures weren’t slowed by fire. They thrived in it. “Fall back to second line!” Elara shouted, sword dripping with black ichor. “Protect the witches! Get the civilians below-” A bolt of shadow tore past her and struck the ground at Lyra’s feet. The stone cracked. The heat of it sizzled against her skin even as she raised a shield instinctively. She spun. And there he was. Kane. No mask. No armor. Just him - worn leathers and that familiar, twisted expression of grief and rage. His eyes, however, were not his own. They blazed with the Harbinger’s mark - red, ringed in black. Hi

    Harbinger POVThe darkness welcomed him like an old friend.It moved when he moved. Breathed when he breathed. Twined around his shoulders like a living mantle as he drifted through the ruins of the old forest temple, the shattered remnants of gods long forgotten crushed beneath his feet.Kane sat in the center of the stone circle, head bowed, sweat beading at his brow despite the cold. He hadn’t moved in hours.Still resisting.The Harbinger tilted his head, amused. He circled the boy slowly, boots making no sound on the broken marble. Kane’s energy flickered - unstable. Like a flame exposed to too much air.“You're unraveling,” the Harbinger said softly. His voice was silk over razors, ancient and echoing. “And still, you cling to her.”Kane’s jaw tightened. “I’m not yours.”The Harbinger crouched behind him, a whisper at his ear. “No. Not yet. But you will be.”A flick of power, and the circle of runes flared beneath them, casting everything in a red glow. Kane flinched but didn’t

    Lyra POVThe scouts returned at dawn.Mud-streaked, hollow-eyed, their wolves panting from the long run. They came with no injuries - but no peace, either.“The eastern tree line,” one reported, voice gravel-rough. “There’s movement in the hollows. Shadows that don’t cast light. It’s him. We know it.”Lyra nodded, absorbing each word like stone absorbing rain. She didn’t flinch. Didn’t blink. She simply said, “Then we fortify. Every outpost from Hollow Reach to the Veil Spine gets fire runes and silver-lined weapons. No one patrols alone. If anyone sees him - him, not shadows, not dreams - they report to me. Directly.”The scouts hesitated, glancing between one another, then nodded.The war council convened by mid-morning. Nyxar stood at her right, silent as ever, while Elara ran point on magical defenses. The barracks had been roused hours before sunrise. Steel clanged in every courtyard. Witches painted wards on armor, blood-mixed sigils glowing faintly against the leather.And stil

    Lyra POVThe gates slammed shut behind her with a clang that echoed down the empty streets like a warning bell. Lyra didn’t flinch.She stood still, her eyes fixed on the place where Kane had vanished into the trees - the memory of him, burned into the horizon like a scar.Elara barked orders, sharp and efficient, snapping the guards to motion. Wards flared faintly across the gate’s surface, light trailing like glowing veins through ancient stone. The perimeter was sealed. For now.But Lyra didn’t move.She could still feel it - him. That terrible, twisted echo of what once tethered her heart. Her fingers curled unconsciously, her palm grazing the pouch at her hip. The obsidian shard pulsed once, like it sensed the shift. Or the danger.“He wasn’t alone,” she said softly.Elara turned back to her, eyes wide. “You saw others?”Lyra shook her head. “No. But I felt them. Like… breathing behind a door. Waiting.”The other witch - Dalen - stepped closer. “We should alert the council.”“The

    Lyra POV The silence lingered after Thalia’s growl had faded. A silence that felt fuller now. Less like an absence and more like a promise.Lyra sat in the dust until the ache in her body returned, dull and real. Her palms were scraped, her muscles trembling from the strain of holding herself together for too long.Behind her, she felt Nyxar shift. She turned slowly.He stood near the edge of the temple, framed by broken columns and shafts of sunlight cutting through the crumbled roof. The wind stirred his dark cloak, and in the light, the silver of his eyes caught fire.“You saw her,” he said, not a question.Lyra nodded. “She didn’t speak. But she didn’t leave.”“That’s more than most get.”He walked toward her, steps almost soundless. For once, the air around him didn’t feel cold. Just heavy. Old. Like the ruins themselves.“What happens now?” she asked. “With the Harbinger? With… Kane?”Nyxar’s jaw tensed at the name.“He’s not gone,” Lyra said softly. “Not completely.”“No,” Nyx

    Lyra sat on a worn, half-buried stone, the remnants of what might’ve once been an altar. Light streamed through the broken ceiling above - slanted, gold-tinged sunlight that pierced through the dust and fractured glass. The air here still thrummed with old power, magic older than any living soul could remember. And somewhere behind her, Nyxar lingered in the shadows, silent.She hadn’t spoken since the dream.Her hands rested limply on her knees, stained with dust and blood. Her eyes were fixed on the far wall where vines crawled over carved glyphs, half-erased by time and ash.“Do you remember what this place was?” she asked softly, unsure why she spoke aloud.Nyxar’s voice came like the stir of wind. “It was where we made promises. The first pacts. The first betrayals.”Lyra turned her head toward him slowly. “And you brought me here because…?”His gaze didn’t meet hers. “Because the temple still remembers. Even when the gods forget.”She swallowed the lump in her throat. Her body s

    Lyra POV As Lyra stood beside Nyxar, the haze lifted, revealing more of the ruins that stretched beyond the immediate carnage. Crumbled walls half-swallowed by ash and time. Statues toppled. Towers broken. It was like walking through a graveyard built for gods.He moved ahead of her in silence, his long cloak trailing like smoke. Lyra followed, drawn forward despite the ache in her chest. She could feel the echo of magic here - raw, broken magic, older than any she had ever touched.“This was your home?” she asked quietly, though the answer pulsed in her bones.“It was,” Nyxar replied, his voice distant. “A long time ago. Before I became what I am now.”He stopped before a shattered archway. Vines had overtaken the stone, and in its center lay a deep scar carved into the earth, as if something had been ripped from it violently.“What happened here?” Lyra asked, stepping beside him.He didn’t look at her. “I had a mate once.”The words hit her like a thunderclap. Her breath stilled.“

    The tent around Lyra was dim, the pale blue light of dawn barely seeping through the canvas. For a moment, she didn’t breathe. Her body ached, her skin prickled, and her heart thudded like a war drum beneath her ribs.Nyxar’s voice still echoed faintly in her mind. "Go to the temple ruins. Alone."She sat up slowly, wincing as every joint protested. The shirt clung to her skin with a mix of sweat and dried blood. The bowl of now-cold water on the table beside her remained untouched since last night, just as the plate of food had gone uneaten. Her stomach curled at the thought of it.Her gaze drifted to the opening of the tent. The barrier was up again - she could feel the thrum of its magic, steady but strained. The witches had worked through the night. So had the warriors. She wasn’t sure who had dragged her back from the battlefield after Ekreth vanished with Kane and the Harbinger. She only remembered the rage. The pain. The silence Thalia had retreated into deepest parts of her, l
