Kessler’s POV

The two weeks of Lyra's absence are the fucking worst time of my life. My mother is bent on me not leaving the pack.

I'm livid. I've never been this infuriated with my mother in all my life.

It's heart-wrenching. I feel her emotions every fucking day. She's in serious pain, and I can feel it through the mate bond. Fuck this mate bond.

I never realized how important Lyra is to me until now. With her out of sight, I drown myself in alcohol every night just to find some semblance of sleep, my drink laced with wolfbane to numb the ache in my heart.

Annie, sensing my vulnerability, persistently tries to get me to sleep with her, and unfortunately, she succeeds numerous times.

Zach walks into my office, a refuge from the world where I can avoid contact with anyone else. Zach looks at me with concern and asks, "How long will you continue to wallow in your pain?”

I look at him with a lazy gaze, but still, I ask, "What do you mean?"

My mind is in a frenzy as I hold Lyra tightly to me, feeling a mix of protectiveness and anger.In a swift motion, I storm toward Tristan. "How dare you!" I shout, shock and fear evident on his face."How dare you attack my pack," I continue. "You didn't bring Lyra to me when I called you two days ago. And now you choose to attack my pack?" My anger burns hot.He looks at me with fear evident in his eyes, stammering, "I didn't do anything." I lock eyes with him, trying to decipher if he's telling the truth or not.But he had no hand in the attack. I grip my hair in anger, frustration boiling over."Let's go!" I roar to my men, my hand finding its place on Lyra's lower back. As I touch her, I sense a spark—a feeling I've missed deeply. These sparks bring emotions I wasn't ready to acknowledge.Lyra abruptly stops, and I feel a surge of concern. "What's happening?" I ask urgently. "I can

    "What the fuck do you want?" I say calmly but with a tinge of anger. She does have the guts to come into my room after everything she has put me through.First, she pushed me into the pool. I bet she doesn't know I don't know how to swim, but the lengths she could go to hurt me were out of it.She steps closer to me, her words cutting through the air like a knife. "I know who you are, you pathetic excuse of a wolf, and I don't know why he chose to bring you back."I try to stay calm, but Sasha is growling in my head.

I glance at Kessler, his expression unreadable, With a shaky breath, I gather my resolve. I calmly turn to Kessler and Annie, and say, "Shut the door behind you, I need to take a nap."

There's a flicker of regret in his eyes as if he has many things he wants to say.But I already know what he has to say.

    Kessler POVThe news about Annie's pregnancy hit me like a boulder. How could I be so reckless to have my way with her without protection?I kept pacing back and forth. Mum mustn't have heard of this. If she does, there is no going back as regards me taking Annie as my Luna.I clenched my fists, trying to calm the storm of emotions raging within me. I needed to think, to find a solution before this situation spiraled out of control."I don't know how to feel if I should be happy that I will have an heir soon," Dolph whined in my head. "I wish it was Lyra."The thought made my heart tug. Just when I felt I should give Lyra and me a shot, this happened.I couldn't stand to see the hurt in her eyes. It was heartbreaking.

    "That piqued my interest, Cassie," I say, glancing between Kessler and Zach.Zach has tight lips, looking at Kessler as if he's ready to reveal the information.

I'm sorry for asking," I apologize, sensing the tension in the room.Kessler's expression softens, and he exchanges a glance with Zach before turning his attention back to me.

"I know this is a mistake I'll regret for the rest of my life." "I tried to avoid the matter concerning Lyra and sai

    I'm startled. "For fuck's sake, I just had my bath, and you're engulfing me in a hug. I'm sorry to say it makes me feel dirty again," she says softly, gently moving her away from me.I look at Cara in shock, wondering what could be going through her mind to behave in such a manner. But her voice is somber as she asks, "Don't you like it here?"I stare at her in disbelief, wondering what she means by "don't you like it here.""Care to explain, ma'am?" I ask in a mocking tone.She stomps her feet like an erring child. "I'm not joking, Lyra. Don't you like it here?"Then it occurred to me that she thought I was serious when I said I would go back to Northville to continue what I started there. She truly believes I'm considering leaving."Please don't leave us again, your time away from us was hell, and Kessler might not admit it, but it was torture for him not to have you around."I swallow hard, feeling the weight of her words.

    She has this contemplative look like she's debating whether to tell me something or not. But trust me, I won't accept a no for an answer.And I have no intention of pressuring her. I move closer, gently squeezing her shoulder. She places her hand on mine, acknowledging my presence. Her gaze seems distant, and she fidgets with her nails, a sign of nervousness. Zach and I are great, but whenever I'm on my period, I notice he gets that look.It's like a switch flips, and suddenly, there's this tension in the air. I try to brush it off, but it's hard not to notice.She pauses as if trying to piece together her thoughts. I wonder if he always wears that expression as if he wishes I were pregnant instead of menstruating.Finally, I grasped the issue. But I must choose my words carefully, so as not to hurt her, because it's one thing to open up, and another for your heart to find solace from that vulnerability."So, you mean he expects you to be pregnant, and seeing you menstruating means yo

    Kessler’s POVI don't like it when Lyra stays mad at me. I didn't know she was going to take the role of godmother to Annie's baby. Given what Annie had done to her, I had my doubts. So, I followed her to her room to be sure she'd stop being mad at me. When she complains about her leg, all I want is to massage her legs and make her feel better.Her moan makes my member twitch in my trousers; I can sense she wants me. There's no doubt I want her, but I want my time with Lyra to be special again. Dang, I can't think straight when I catch a whiff of her arousal. With hurried steps, she heads into the bathroom. I can tell she is embarrassed; she takes her time in there. But when she steps out in her towel, all I want is to take her right there and make her scream my name.She looks at me, surprised to see I’m still in the room. I need to take control of my emotions; I want her as much as she wants me. With a smirk, I walk closer to her, noticing her expectant gaze. I run my hand through he

    When Kessler called me "Sunshine" and mentioned there was something else, my curiosity piqued. I could sense his uncertainty, but I leaned in, asking, "What is it?""I know she did many things to you that she wasn't proud of," he began. "She said it before she passed away—she couldn't look into your eyes and ask for forgiveness."I nodded slowly, trying to grasp the significance of Kessler's words and where he was leading this conversation."Annie wants us to be the godparents to her baby," Kessler said hurriedly, as if the words were burning on his tongue. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across my face. Playfully, I smacked him on the chest and teased, "Is that what was taking you forever to say?"Kessler chuckled, a weight lifted off his shoulders. "Yes, I wanted to make sure you were okay with it.""Of course," I replied with sincerity. "We'll be great godparents. But you hurt my feelings, Kessler, for thinking that I would say no to being the godmoth

    Kessler’s POV With hurried steps, we made our way to the pack hospital. I wonder what might have gone wrong for my attention to be needed at the hospital, but I was grateful that Lyra was right by my side. The thought of anything happening to Lyra filled me with dread as I remembered what had happened in her room. As we approached the hospital, my heart raced with worry. The memory of finding Lyra in distress in her room flashed through my mind. It's a relief that Lyra was able to control her powers without harming the baby. Ryder must have taken advantage of the situation, knowing we were all focused on Annie's well-being. I wondered if there was a connection between Ryder's actions and Annie's condition. Regardless, I made a mental note to investigate the matter swiftly. The safety and security of our pack were important and we needed to uncover the truth to protect everyone. Many serious issues have happened within my pack, and I can no longer afford to overlook them. We arr

    Kessler holds me close as if I mean the world to him. His scent is comforting. "Please, get me water," I tell him as he stands up, goes to the kitchen, and brings back a bottle of water. I sit up and look at Ryder, realizing he is almost lifeless on the floor. I guess it's the impact of the syringe he brought to inject me. I rushed to Ryder's side. My heart races as I check for signs of life, hoping for any flicker of movement. "Ryder, can you hear me?" I whisper, my voice trembling with worry. Fear grips me as I realize I could have been almost lifeless like him, and I doubt I would survive it. I can't begin to imagine the trauma that would follow. Someone wants me dead for sure, and now I don't think Ryder can say anything to reveal who sent him. I was consumed with worry, but my thoughts turned to Julie. How would she handle the revelation that her mate is not who she believes him to be? Just then, Kessler walked in with the bottle of water in hand and handed it to me. "Thank

    I was tired and I had to put my clothes back on, wondering who it could be, dragging myself to the door. I opened it and lo I was shocked to realize that it was no other than Ryder, I know I had just thought about him not being a good guy, but he just confirmed my suspicion by coming to my room. "What do you want?" I ask politely, trying my best not to be rude, but inside, I'm seriously annoyed. He smirks and pushes the door open, making his way inside without waiting for an invitation. I stand there, my annoyance growing as Ryder enters without any regard for my privacy or invitation. "I just wanted to talk," he says casually as if his intrusion is perfectly acceptable. "Well, I don't feel like talking right now," I reply curtly, crossing my arms over my chest. Ryder shrugs nonchalantly, unfazed by my obvious discomfort. "Suit yourself," he says, moving further into the room as if he owns it. I grit my teeth, feeling my patience wearing thin. "You need to leave," I say firmly
