Lyra's POVI faked a smile, but inside I was shaking.How could she tell I wasn't Ravenna in just a five-minute conversation?"I'm lost, I don't get you," I said, even though my voice sounded weak. "Are you trying to say, I'm impersonating Ravenna?" I added.She didn't say a word for some seconds. She twirled her lips, and I could tell she was still wrapping her head around the possibility of transmigration."Alright then, if you insist you're Ravenna, tell me, what happened to your memories?" "How am I supposed to know? You're the healer, you're the one to tell me what's wrong with me." "No, this is not amnesia." She said, "This is transmigration, and before you try and deny it." She cut me off before I could say anything."Ravenna is left-handed, but as far as I can tell, you're right-handed."Was I right-handed? Yes, as far as Lyra is concerned, I'm right-handed, but I never knew that part of me was obvious in Ravenna's body."Secondly," she continued, "Before you woke up from
Lyra's POV"Why are you both looking at me like you've got something to hide?" Keto asked, his eyeballs rolling to the left at me, and to the right at Kira."Don't fucking play that card on me," Kira replied. "You're the one hiding behind the door like a spying criminal." Kira shot back as she eyed him from head to toe.From the way Keto was looking, I knew he heard some of our conversations, and my heart wouldn't stop the fast beats.I kept my gaze fixed on him for any hint he knew the truth about Ravenna and I, but so far his face looked neutral, like he didn't hear that part, or he was simply good at hiding it.Keto raised his hand up in mock surrender, "Yeah," he admitted, "You're right, I was at the door for a while.""Why?" My voice in tandem with Kira's voice as we asked him.He didn't say a word, he just strolled into the ward like he owns the fucking hospital."I needed to be sure it was the right ward before knocking." He said, his tone playful.It was a lie, I knew it, Kir
Lyra's POVI swallowed the saliva in my mouth, and my legs started shaking."What did you say?" I asked."Who's Lyra?" He inquired again, "I heard you and Kira talking about Lyra."I don't know what you think you heard, Keto, but now's not the time to ask me questions, after everything I've been through. What I need right now is rest, not interrogations."His eyes narrowed, "It's a simple question, Who is Lyra?" He pressed."Keto, I have no idea who Lyra is; you mus
Lyra's POVThe minute he saw me, his eyes widened in fear as panic washed over him.Orion's eyes rolled between me and him, he was obviously confused about why I was pointing at the man.Keto drew closer to me, he pinched me lightly, a gesture that reminded me of our agreement earlier.I swallowed a lump, but my fingers were still pointed at him.How do I explain it now without making a fool of myself?An idea popped up, "Sir, there's dirt on your shirt." I said, pointing to the left side of his shoulder."Oooh,
Lyra’s POVMy hands shook uncontrollably, tears streaming down my face as I stared at the messages on my phone. This wasn't how I imagined the day before my wedding would be. My heart pounded in my chest, and a bad feeling settled in my stomach. I struggled to process the reality I was experiencing at that moment. “Why? Why me?” I whispered to myself, my voice cracking, but I couldn't find any answers. It all made no sense. I read the message again, hoping against hope that I had misunderstood, but the words remained the same, cutting like a knife: “I do not want you anymore. I am breaking this bond between us. Elise is the one for me, and I am going to be with her. She is having my child soon. Goodbye.”I dropped the phone onto the bed, my hands going limp. My breath hitched as I clutched my chest, feeling as if the ground was slipping away beneath me. The room seemed to spin, and I sat down, burying my face in my hands, my shoulders shaking with sobs. That was all the message said
Lyra’s POVI woke up with a groan, clutching my throbbing head. I struggled to open my eyes, but when I finally did, the blinding rays of sunlight streaming through the window made me wince and snap them shut again. The light felt like it was burning into my eyes.I slowly opened my eyes once more, using my hands to shield them from the harsh light. As I sat up in bed, my movements were sluggish, and my head pounded with a strong ache. Confusion took over my thoughts. What's going on? I wondered, as my vision gradually cleared, revealing my surroundings. "Where am I?" I muttered, my voice as low as a whisper. The room was big and luxurious compared to my room at home."Where is this?" I whispered again, my eyes darting around the space. The memories started to come back: running from my father, the blaring horn, the sudden impact of the car. I placed a hand over my chest, feeling my heart race as panic set in. How was I alive and feeling okay? I clenched my fists, trying to calm down
Lyra’s POVI stared at the man before me, utterly speechless. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out as his eyes roamed up and down my frame. I had to admit, Alpha Orion was the most attractive man I had ever seen—with his chiseled jaw, impressive physique, and striking features. But I was too frightened to appreciate his looks in that moment; everything felt way too intense. I was scared.“What the fuck will I use a mate for?” he snapped. His harsh tone made it clear he was not happy with the idea of a mate bond. But why would something so beautiful as a mate bond make him feel so disgusted? I couldn’t make sense of it at all.I gulped nervously, seeing his growing impatience, which frightened me even more. “He is definitely not going to like the idea of a mate between us,” the man said, as I opened my mouth to ask a question, only to shut it again, lacking the courage to speak. What was going on? Who was this person he mentioned who wouldn’t like the idea of a mate bond?
Lyra's POVI stood in the middle of the gym, my head turning like a rollercoaster. My lips still ached from where Jacob had kissed me just minutes ago. Jacob, my fiancé, the guy who’d jilted me some days ago, leaving me heartbroken and shattered to pieces. And yet, somehow, it feels like I'm stuck with him again. He even has the mind to kiss me, like we were lovers.I felt really annoyed and frustrated at the same time. I was confused as fuck.While I was still trying to process the whole jargon flowing through my head, I heard the gym door opening.I turned to look and saw Alpha Orion walk in.My goodness, this dude looks like a smoking mountain, or a freaking giant. Everything about him was intimidating as hell, down to the way he looks at me, the exact kind of look a lion would give to a puppy. It made me feel very uncomfortable.Slowly, I placed my sweaty palms on my gown and tried to act like nothing was wrong.Orion stopped a few distances away from me and crossed his arms

Lyra's POVThe first thing that popped up in my head as I eased back into consciousness was the sound of heavy rainfall.I opened my eyes, looked around. Where's everyone? I muttered under my breath.I was still in the field where Nikki was buried, at the exact same spot where I had passed out.My clothes were completely soaked by the rain, and I couldn't stop myself from shaking so much that my teeth vibrated.Why did they leave me here alone in the field, under the rain and without help?Did they leave me here to die? I thought within, or perhaps they thought I had died.I tried getting up from the ground, my eyes scanned for any covering that could shield me from the rain, but I was too weak to stand up.Then I tried crawling, and that was when it dawned on me that I was paralyzed: I could move my head, but not my body.Fear gripped me. If nobody comes out here to help, I'd probably die out of cold.My gaze turned to the direction where Nikki had been buried, but the coffin was no
Lyra's POVWhat if I make a deal with him? Tell him I support the plan to kill Orion and also volunteer to help make it possible.It still won't stop him from killing me, to honour Nikki's death."You know you don't have to kill me?" I pleaded as he brought out the dagger he had used to kill the other man. "If you kill me now, they would know something is wrong, Orion would know."Part of me wanted him to see sense, I didn't want to die. I'd wanted it in the stadium, but now, for some unknown reason, I wanted to live, even though I didn't like the kind of life I was living.He smiled, "Don't misunderstand me, princess, the plan is to kill you while Orion watches, not behind him.""He's going to watch you die at my hands just as you watched Nikki's death at his."He gestured with the dagger, "Now get up on your feet, and slowly; I'd advise you not to get any ideas."I winced, but somehow managed to push myself up."Good girl," he taunted, "You know, for a minute, I thought of letting
Lyra's POVIf a witch or a priest had told me about my future, perhaps prophesied like the church folks used to say, that I would somehow survive the battle against Nikki.I wouldn't believe it, but afterwards, I might definitely believe in miracles.But one thing is for sure: one supreme being doesn't want me dead, at least not yet. First, I was reincarnated in another body, next I narrowly escaped death again, only God knows what lies ahead.The time was 1 pm, but the sun was perhaps grieving a great fighter like Nikki to show up; it almost felt like the Earth was mourning Nikki's death.It cried thunder, and sobbed rain as we got to the venue for the burial. It was a big field where, according to Keto, dead werewolves from Orion's pack were buried."Are you sure the burial will hold?" I asked, turning to face Keto in the car as the driver slowly parked in the field. "The rain is heavy."Keto chuckled, more like a light scoff. "You weren't afraid to face death in the arena, and her
Lyra's POV"Ravenna! Ravenna! You need to wake up." These were the faint words that played in my head as I regained my consciousness.I was on a bed, facing the wall, when I opened my eyes.My hand instinctively went to my stomach, the exact spot Nikki had maimed me. It was patched up with a bandage by only God knows who.Am I in the hospital? was the next question that puzzled me as I turned to take in the wonderful apartment.It wasn't a hospital, hospitals don't go heavy on interior decoration."Good to see you're awake." Keto's voice cut in, and I looked towards his
Lyra's POVI snapped my eyes closed like a door slammed shut, bracing for death.I had expected it sooner, but it lingered, stalking me like a wild cat before closing the distance to take me beyond.How does death feel like? Some say it's a quick sleep, painless. Others said death is faster than time, hits you within the twinkling of an eye, but I had waited for seconds now, no transition, just silence.I had expected Nikki's claws to be on my throat by now, slicing it open like a blade on paper.Perhaps the moon goddess had, in her benevolence, teleported me into another body again.I opened my eyes, willing to see why the beast didn't make good on her death promise.Just then, a pool of blood was splashed across my face, the smell of iron filled my senses, but the blood wasn't mine.My mouth opened widely in utter shock, my breath came in hard, although my vision remained blurred, but I could see an object rolling like a ball towards me.As soon as my sight cleared, my eyes widened
