"You arrogant little—mutt!" Lira's voice warped into a snarl, and before Nyma could take another step. 

Lira's wolf erupted from her human skin in a snarl of snapping tendons and splintering bone—black as a starless night, eyes twin pits of fire. Saliva strung between her fangs in glistening ropes as she lunged, a killing arc aimed for Nyma's exposed throat.

Time fractured.

The air thickened with the copper tang of impending bloodshed, and in that suspended heartbeat, Nyma understood with crystalline clarity:

One. She could not shift. Her wolf lay dormant, shackled by instinct—the life inside her more precious than vengeance, than survival itself.

Two. She could not run. Her body, heavy with child, would never outpace Lira's murderous grace.

Three. She was not prey.

The realisation struck like lightning. And somehow the world stopped.

Nyma stood frozen as Lira's monstrous wolf form hurtled toward

    As Nyma emerged from the training grounds, the coldness clung to her like air bitten into her skin, and she barely flinched. The ignition in her veins had yet to cool. Behind her, the scent of blood and betrayal lingered, and she refused to look back.A sleek black car idled at the edge of the clearing, came into view, its sight cutting through the her misty darkness. Leaning against the hood, arms crossed, stood Kael—her brother, ever watchful. His hazel eyes locked onto Nyma immediately, scanning her with the precision of a protector.Beside him, Raina, his mate, sat in the open passenger seat, her usually warm expression twisted with concern. The moment Nyma stepped closer, Raina's brows furrowed."You reek of blood," she said, voice careful. Just knowing.Kael pushed off the car, his nostrils flaring as he took in her scent. His stance stiffened. "Nyma… what happened?" Kael's voice was measured, but his wolf was on high alert.

    As they crossed into Raven's Flock territory, the tension in the car shifted. The dense, familiar forest wrapped around them like a protective shroud, the towering evergreens whispering in the wind. And when they finally pulled up to the grand pack house, the sight of it—warmly lit, bustling with anticipation—made something tighten in Nyma's chest.They were waiting for her.The gates of Raven's Flock loomed ahead, wrought iron twisted into the shape of outstretched wings. As the car rolled to a stop, Nyma's breath caught—the scent of pine and hearth smoke wrapped around her like a forgotten embrace.Six months.Six months since she'd stood here as Adrain had come after her with a proposal of marriage for her. Sealing her fate with him from mates to soulmates for all life.Six months since she had left this place as a Luna-to-be, glowing with hope, believing in the promises whispered against her skin. Six months sin

    The next morning, the Alpha Cedric's packhouse awoke to chaos.Nyma burned. Not with rage, not with heartbreak—but with fever.Luna Elara was the first to notice. Before dawn, she had slipped into Nyma's room, a habit she had only recently broken after years of checking on her children as they slept. And Nyma's muffled sobs the earlier night had shattered that resolve, rekindling the instinct to protect not just her daughter, but the life growing inside her, gnawing at her like an old, familiar ache. Her daughter's pain was one thing, but the thought of her grandchild suffering too? That she couldn't bear.So Elara came only to find, her face ashen, Nyma lay drenched in sweat, her skin sickly pale, her body wracked with tremors as if caught in some unseen storm."Kael!" Elara's voice pierced through the halls, sharp and urgent. "Call Amelia, now! Nyma got fever. "Kael was in the room before the words had fully left their mother's mouth, his

    "Him?" Nyma gasped as fresh fire raced through her veins. "Who is he?""Shh… calm down, my crescen." the goddess voice said familiar, as if it had been whispered to her in dreams she never remembered upon waking.Crescen?Her lips parted, the question forming, but before she could speak, the silver light blinded her as it continued to speak."Luna Nyma, you dare put an infidelity mark on your mate, Lycan Alpha? Something rare and unexpected… done in centuries." the goddess walked out of the light in clear.The space charged with something that sent ice crawling down Nyma's spine. A pit yawned open in her stomach, a nameless, shapeless dread rising with it to see that light take shape.An infidelity mark?"Lunara, answer me... what is all this? Who is he and..." Nyma growl at her wolf. Having more than Lunara's presence in her consciousness felt overwhelming. With all her might, Nyma was resisting the stranger's

    The Silvermoon pack-house was alive with celebration—golden lanterns swayed gently from the ceiling, casting a soft glow over the crowd. The scent of honeyed pastries and fresh blooms mixed with the ever-present musk of wolves and the Lycan family that host them.Nyma sat on her throne-like chair, one hand protectively resting on her swollen belly, a forced smile on her lips as she accepted gifts from her pack.She should have felt joy. Excitement. Something other than this choking sense of unease.Because among the laughter and well-wishes, her husband—Alpha Prince Adrain—hadn't even properly looked at her or given a compliment, when she had spend days to select perfect dress and arrangements just to make him more happier other than being a father.Adrain had returned just yesterday after five long months of 'special training,' yet he had barely spared Nyma a glance since stepping foot back into their home. Instead, Adrain was swallowed whole by his entourage—four women, three men—w

    As the night stretched on and celebration came to a nearing end, Royal family took their leave first, then Nyma's family prepared to take their leave. She embraced her parents, her mother lingering for a moment longer, pressing a gentle kiss to her temple as if she sensed the storm brewing beneath Nyma's skin. Only Kael, Nyma's elder brother and his mate, Raina, Nyma's sister-in-law remained. They would be escorting Nyma to their family's territory, Raven Flack Pack in the morning, as per her request. Nyma wanted to give birth surrounded by those she trusted, rather than the den of Lycan she did not. The weight of the night pressed against her ribs. The veiled insults, the mocking gifts, Lucian's audacity—she had endured them all with her head high. But as her gaze flickered across the room, she found herself locked onto Adrain. Her mate. Her absent, distant, suspiciously preoccupied husband. For eight months, she had carried his child. For five, she had led their pack alone, endu

    The morning light filtered through the heavy drapes, spilling golden streaks across the plush velvet of Nyma's chambers. Dust motes swirled in the air, dancing in the soft glow, as a faint rustling broke the silence. A familiar voice, gentle yet insistent, called her back from the restless void of sleep."Luna, it's time to rise."Nyma inhaled deeply, the scent of lavender and embers lingering from the night before. She blinked away the remnants of broken dreams, her hand instinctively settling over the curve of her unborn child. A tether to the present. A reminder of all that lay ahead.But beside her, the sheets remained undisturbed. Cold. As empty as they had been all night.The warmth from last evening... had been nothing but a cruel mirage.She said nothing as her omega moved efficiently through the room, drawing out layers of gossamer fabric, silks soft as moonlight. The quiet routine should have been comforting. Instead, it made the silence between her ribs ache all the more.T

    "Lira, enough." She crept closer, her heart pounding as she peered through the dense trees. The clearing came into view, dimly lit by the last remnants of dawn's glow, and there—standing too close, much too close—were Adrain and Lira.His hands were on her arms, holding her steady. Lira, unsteady on her feet, swayed slightly, her usually sharp gaze hazy."Let me go, please," Lira muttered, pushing at his chest weakly. "I don't need your help.""You drank too much last night," Adrain's voice was taut, concerned. "You're barely standing, and you're in no condition to leave by yourself."Lira let out a breathy, exasperated laugh. "I'm fine, Alpha.""You're not," he countered, firm but not harsh. "You need rest, and I'm making sure you get back safely."Nyma's hands curled into fists. A dark, possessive growl rumbled deep in her chest, the presence of her she-wolf thrashing against the confines of her control. Why was he acting like this? Like she mattered?

    Adrain's breath was ragged, his teeth grazing Lira's throat—too close, too intimate—his canines fully extended. The primal urge to mark pulsed between them, thick and heady.Nyma's heart twisted.Then—Lira moved.With a strength that belied her delicate frame, she shoved Adrain back against the rough bark of a tree, her fingers tangled in his hair. Before he could react, Lira sank her teeth into his mark—the sacred claim he bore from Nyma.A growl tore from Adrain's throat—not in pain, but of pleasure.Nyma felt it. The bond between them screamed, white-hot agony lancing through her chest as if Lira's teeth had torn into Nyam's flesh instead. She staggered, a whimper escaping before she could choke it back.Nyma's vision tunnelled. Lunara, her she-wolf, raged inside her, claws scraping against the confines of Nyma's mind."Let me out," Lunara snarled, her voice a wildfire in Nyma's

He was struggling. Struggling to command his Luna. Struggling to even look her in the eyes.Lira paused amidst. Fear and doubt creeping in.Adrain's hand trembled as he reached for Nyma, his fingers brushing empty air where her shadow had been. "Nyma... please stop... the mark... it burns—"Nyma recoiled, her expression twisted in disgust. "Now it burns, Adrain?" Nyma's voice was a whisper of winter wind as she loomed over her fallen mate. "Good." Her claw traced the smoking mark, making his back arch in agony. "Let it scar so deep even your Lycan healing fails. Let every wolf who sees it know—their Prince Alpha groveled for a whore's affection."Nyma withdrew her

    "Enough," he panted, voice rough, strained. "I said enough."A pause.Then Lira's silky, knowing hummed echoed. "Oh, Rain… why do you always resist?""Because I can't..." Adrain rasped."And why not?" she pressed, her tone playful, edged with something deeper. "It's not like it was so long ago. Isn't it because of me that you kept running away from your little wife since yesterday, is it not? So she doesn't caught my scent on you. After all we did trained a lot in this..."Nyma's breath turned to frost in her lungs.Months. His training, his months long training was spend with her. They'd been together all this time."We were good together, Adrain." A honeyed pause. "Remember what you told Nyma about the 'blood moon night'?"Her thumb brushed his lower lip. "How creative you were with the truth..."Adrain's muscles locked. "
