The bitter chill of rejection pierces my heart once again as Gray turns his back on me without a word. The mate the moon goddess has sent to me as my only source of joy doesn't even spare me a glance as he walks away, off to join the mate his council has chosen for him. Not me. Never me. My father, the Alpha, sees me as a waste. My packmates sneer and jeer, enjoying my pain. And my fated mate Gray, whose rejection cuts deeper than any wound. I thought I knew heartbreak when my mother died birthing me but this agony is so much worse. Every day I pray to the Moon Goddess for a family to call my own, for acceptance, for love. My prayers go unanswered. Each day, there are whispers that I am cursed, that my existence brings misfortune to the pack. If only they knew the turmoil steaming inside me. But I will endure. Even as assassins ambush me and Silver Fang soldiers see me as a threat. Even as I find myself mysteriously pregnant with no father in sight. Even as wolves come to me claiming friendship while concealing wicked motives. I have survived worse. I am stronger than they know. There are secrets about me, truths my so-called pack tries to bury. My identity. My power. My purpose - all hidden from me by lies. But I will uncover it all. The course of my life is changing, veering into unpredictable territory. But I am ready for whatever comes. My story has only just begun. I am Lyra, the Omega without a wolf but not without a purpose and I would fulfill it! I will shock my pack, I will shock my father, I will shock my mate. This is how I rise!

Chapter 224Lyra's POVThe woods echoed with our hurried footsteps as Alpha Gray and I searched frantically for any sign of Dora. Fear clenched my heart like a vise, my mind racing with worst-case scenarios. We had combed through every inch of the pack grounds, but there was still no trace of her."Where could they have gone?" Alpha Gray muttered, his voice laced with frustration and worry.I shook my head, feeling a sense of helplessness wash over me. "I don't know," I admitted, my voice trembling with fear. "But we have to keep looking."We pressed on, determined to find Dora no matter what. As we delved deeper into the woods, the darkness seemed to envelop us, casting eerie shadows on the forest floor.Suddenly, a twig snapped somewhere nearby, causing us both to freeze in our tracks.

Chapter 223Lyra's POVI sighed softly as Alpha Gray turned to me, concern evident in his eyes.

"Gray, there's something I need to tell you," I began, my voice quiet yet resolute.He glanced around the pack hall, sensing the gravity of the situation. "Okay," he replied, taking my hand and leading me out of the hall. We found a quiet corner outside, the moon casting a soft glow over us.Taking a deep breath, I gathered my thoughts before speaking. "I have a child," I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. "Her name is Dora, and she's been living in the pack, unknown to everyone."Alpha Gray's reaction surprised me; he didn't look surprised at all. Instead, he wore a knowing expression that sent a shiver down my spine. "Why aren't you surprised?" I asked, furrowing my brows in confusion.He sighed softly, his gaze searching for mine. "I knew," he
Chapter 222Raven's POV I stood there with Silver, a mischievous smile playing on my lips, I couldn't help but revel in the sense of satisfaction that came with knowing something he didn't. Despite the turmoil swirling within me, there was a small thrill in having the upper hand, even if it was just for a moment."Maybe you'll find out soon enough," I replied cryptically, my voice dripping with amusement. "But don't worry, Silver. You'll see."Just as our conversation reached a tense moment, a messenger hurried towards us, breathless and wide-eyed."Silver, princess Raven, you're needed at the pack hall," the messenger announced, his voice urgent. "Alpha Gray has called for an important announcement."I turned to Silver, a knowing smile playing on my lips. "Looks like you'll find out sooner than you thought," I remarked, interlocking my hand with his as we began to make our way towards the pack hall.Silver sighed, his expression a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. "What do you
Chapter 221Alpha Gray's POVAs Lyra leaned in and kissed me, a rush of emotions surged through me, catching me off guard. I felt a mixture of surprise, longing, and a tinge of uncertainty. What did this kiss mean? Was it a sign of forgiveness? Or simply a moment of vulnerability amidst the chaos surrounding us?Breaking away from the kiss, I looked at her with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. "I... I don't understand," I admitted, my voice tinged with uncertainty.“What does this mean?.” I asked, expecting a clear explanation from her, something heartfelt. Lyra smiled softly, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "Does it have to mean anything?" she asked, her tone gentle yet teasing.I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. Did this kiss signify a reconciliation between us? Or was it merely just a moment of weakness from her part. Glancing around to ensure that no one was watching, I turned back to Lyra, searching her eyes for any hint of clarity. "Does that mean that...?" I began, b
Chapter 220Lyra's POV Alpha Gray's reassuring smile eased some of the tension coiling in my chest. His comforting presence gave me a sense of stability in the midst of uncertainty."Everything is going to be okay, Lyra," he said softly, his voice gentle yet firm. "We'll get through this together."I nodded, grateful for his words of encouragement. But despite his reassurance, a nagging worry lingered at the back of my mind, like a shadow threatening to engulf me."I'm just... worried," I admitted, turning to him with a furrowed brow. "I don't know why or what exactly, but I'm worried about Raven. She... she isn't taking the news well, and I fear she might do something rash."Alpha Gray's expression softened, understanding flickering in his eyes. "I know Raven," he said with a sigh. "She's headstrong and impulsive, but she's also fiercely loyal to the pack. We'll keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't do anything foolish."I nodded in agreement, grateful for his assurance.
Chapter 219Lyra's POVI walked towards the palace, my mind still preoccupied with the weight of the secrets I carried. As I glanced up, I noticed Raven standing by the ledge, her gaze fixed on me. I sighed, feeling a pang of guilt as I wondered what she must be thinking.Shrugging off the uneasy feeling, I pushed open the doors and entered the palace. Climbing the stairs, I made my way through the hallway, expecting to see Raven still standing there, but she was nowhere to be found.With a heavy sigh, I continued walking towards the room where Alpha Gray had said he would be meeting with the rest of the elders. As I approached, the low murmur of voices reached my ears, signaling that they were already in session.Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door and stepped inside, the weight of their collective gazes settling on me as I entered the room. Alpha Gray looked up from his conversation and gestured for me to come forward."Lyra," he called out, his voice filled with warmth and
Chapter 218Raven's POV I approached the grand entrance of the palace, a sense of loneliness washed over me. I hesitated, unable to bring myself to step inside. It felt as though an invisible barrier stood between me and the life I had always known, a life that suddenly felt unfamiliar and unwelcoming.I knew that something was wrong when I saw the picture of the late Luna, and how she looked so much like Lyra … “you were supposed to be my mother.. not her.” I muttered in anger. I was a fool for thinking that it was just a coincidence. “Fuck!.” I shook my head, trying to dispel the doubts that gnawed at the edges of my mind. "Get it together, Raven," I muttered under my breath, steeling myself for what lay ahead.Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the heavy doors and stepped into the opulent hallway beyond. But instead of feeling a sense of belonging, I felt like an intruder in my own home. Every step I took felt wrong, as though I was trespassing on someone else's territory.I
Chapter 217Lyra's POVAlpha Gray," I said, turning to him with a firm expression. "I think you should go ahead of me. There are some things I need to take care of first."Gray nodded in understanding, though a hint of concern lingered in his eyes. "Are you sure, Lyra?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine worry. "Is everything alright?"I forced a smile, trying to reassure him despite the tumult of emotions swirling within me. "Yes, everything's fine," I replied, my voice steady. "I just need to check on some things. I'll catch up with you later."As Gray moved to leave, I turned to follow him, eager to get started on my own tasks. But before I could take a step, he reached out and gently took my hand in his, halting me in my tracks.I turned to look at him, surprised by the sudden gesture. "Is there something else?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.Gray hesitated for a moment, his gaze searching mine as if trying to read my thoughts. "Are you sure you're okay, Lyra?" he asked again,
"Stop it Ezekiel! You'll kill her" came the hysterical cry from a voice that belonged to a middle aged woman. At that moment, the one who was called Ezekiel yanked the neck of a young girl from the freezing depths of an open tank filled with icy water. That young girl was me. After being released from my previous hell of being plunged face first into the tank with my neck being strangled slightly to keep me from breaking away, I emerged as what everyone wanted to see, what everyone knew I was, weak. Gasping for breath loudly, inhaling so much it felt like my lung would burst, coughing and choking from the hold on my neck and shivering from the intense cold. This is how I start my week and if I was unlucky and I usually am, this is how I end it too. I am still coughing while trying desperately to breathe when I lock eyes with Ezekiel.
