Lyra’s POV

I chuckled, almost certain that I didn’t hear him correctly.

“I reject you, Lyra Octavia, as my mate and Luna.” He pronounced, pointing at me with his index finger.

I gasped as the excruciating pain ripped through my heart. I clutched my chest, feeling the piercing pain burn my heart. My wolf, Imogene, whimpered in pain. It’s breaking her too. I didn’t know rejection hurts like hell. It’s fucking heartbreaking, especially from someone you love. It felt like something inside me was being torn and ripped apart.

“No you can’t do this Luca,” I muttered as tears threatened to fall off my eyes.

“You are no longer my mate. I have found the woman of my dreams,” he said, his voice filled with no emotion.

I got up from the chair where I was seated and gazed at the man I love with all I have breaking my heart into tiny pieces.

“Luca?” I managed to say, finally finding my voice after a moment of speechlessness.

Tears were slowly streaming down my face, betraying the emotions I tried so hard to hide. I felt my wolf, Imogene talking to me. She is trying to console me and help me get through the rejection. She is the only one I have left.

“What have I done wrong?” I cried out from where I was. “After all I have done for you. You can’t just wake up and choose to reject me after all these years,” I said, expecting to get a response from him but he was silent.

He clambered down from the stage where he was and walked towards me. “I do not love you, all this was just fantasy. You had your fun, so do I,” he said with a cold voice.

“I don’t believe you,” I said, fixing my gaze at him in disbelief.

“You have to,” there was a sly smile on his lips. It was as though he was enjoying this. “You will be fine. Trust me,”

With these words, he faced the wolves who were still looking surprised. I guess they didn’t see that coming.

What would they have done?

No one dares to stand against him.

“Who is she? Who is the woman you chose over me?” I questioned with tears in my eyes as he gave me a sly smile.

“You should get ready to vacate the pack. You are no longer welcome in this place,”

I chuckled in disbelief and stood from my feet but my legs couldn’t bear my weight.

I was in shock.

“Selene”

In the whole of Duskfire, I only know of two Selene. My maid and the Chief’s daughter

Was it_?

“No, this can’t be true,” I cried out when I got the most shocking news when Selene, my maid walked up to the stage.

“You bastard!” I wanted to walk up to him and give him a sounding slap that might bring him back to his senses but was held back by one of the guards.

“This is my mate. The Luna to be!”

“All hail the Luna!” a voice said from the crowd and other wolves got on their feet to hail Selene who clamped her hand around Luca’s.

How could she? How can a woman I called my friend do this to me?

“You will pay for this, I will not stop until I’m done with you,” I cried out with the last resilience in me.

“Take her away! I have a wedding ritual to carry out before the moon arrives,” he said and left the field with Selene.

The men yanked me out of the field, while I cried out with every ounce of strength in me. I struggled and let go of their grip and ran to Luca’s room. I opened the door hoping to hear screams like “Surprise! It was a prank.” But instead, I saw Luca and Selene kissing passionately.

Selene immediately noticed my presence and maintained her composure before exiting the room.

“I thought I asked you to leave?” he asked in a calm, yet cold tone but I remained silent.

“Since when has this been going on?” I asked in tears, and my nose was crammed with mucus.

“A few days ago,” he said with a sly grin playing on his face.

“I am sorry for the way I talked to you on stage; I did not mean any of those. Please don’t do this to me,” I pleaded in tears.

“Guard!” he called out, pulling the door open and one of the guards came towards me with his blade drawn.

“Take her away.” He ordered.

“Please_”

Without listening to what I had to say, the guard grabbed me by the hand and while I was pushed out of the pack’s premises, I didn’t forget to throw threats at whoever cared to listen.

“I will make sure you suffer for this. It won’t end here!”

Even though they were empty threats.

I just nodded.“I shall wait,” I mumbled and he locked back the gate while I stayed outside looking homeless and hopeless.“Who do we have here?” my mom laughed.

I offered her a smile and a wave, but she merely glared and returned to her knitting.Will she ever forgive me?I wanted to forget everything that happened around me, at least for the moment, and not sulk over Luca who was with the woman of his dreams, or my mom who didn’t seem to care about me.I need a shoulder to cry on, but that only happens when I get high on alcohol. It’s the only way I’ll feel a little better. As soon as the security opened the gate, I walked out without a second thought. I heaved a sigh as I stepped outside the compound. It’s not like I know any bar nearby.But what can I do?I can’t possibly ask my mother for directions or ask her for one of her cars, not with the way things are between us.I walked down the estate, wondering how long the walk was going to take since it was hard to find a cab.

There was something strange about her. It feels like I have known her from somewhere but cannot place my thoughts on where exactly. The thought of her makes me feel weak.“I_” I grit my teeth as the thoughts of her make me crave a woman’s body.I hate feeling weak, I was vulnerable to her. The more I tried getting her off my mind, the harder the thought of her envelope my mind.“Shit!”“What’s wrong?” Rune was worried about me. It was evident on his face.“Get me a woman; I need to calm myself,”I got into the car and scratched my hair. I haven’t felt this way for a long time and that is strange. I have lived for centuries and have met many women but none has got my attention just like the crazy lady did.I came to the bar after a very stressful day of searching for the moo

I couldn't feel the ground anymore, it felt like zero gravity and the silence was deafening. I headed towards the call and took a step forward. With each step, I felt her head churn. I remembered how i got there but not where I was. It was at that bar. The pain increased with each step and I nearly fell back into the darkness. Moving closer a faint light shone on me, with a beautiful wolf piercing me with his looks.I reached out to him, it was the most logical thing I could do at that point. My hand, phasing through his being made me realize that I was part of a vision, a dream, a trance perhaps. But none of the things happening around me happened to be real.I saw myself walking towards him, I could tell that I was scared as I approached him but I just couldn't stay away from him either. I moved closer to him, and with each s

At least he knew something about it.About who this girl was, why he didn't sit right with her, and more importantly why she was on the verge of dying.“What do we do about this, she's freaking white” I said.“I had no idea you'd know who she is talk more of being crazy” Rune responded.The irony of the whole event unfolding here made me want to go wild and release all the rage in me.I demanded a woman to calm my nerves and look at what the universe throws to my face.The woman who set my nerves on fire from the very start.I have never felt this way for a lady in the past century. My humanity felt sorry for the crazy young lady as she lay in bed. Naked.I gulped so loud and I guess Rune noticed.

I moved closer to identify as many as I could till a wizard sensed my presence."Etherea dissolvimus, forma astralis, absolve!"That was the last thing I could remember hearing.The spell hit my face before I could even react and I was flying back to my body.Like lightning, I was back in my own body. It took a while to get comfortable in my skin, but when I did, I wasted no time relaying my reports.“She's in danger, she's being tracked by rouges, and I barely escaped being hit with a spell…” I uttered before I noticed the effect that report had on him.But my attention was drawn back by th

I got a call from one of my men telling me that my brother, Xavier was spotted. “Very well then. Keep an eye on him,"“Nikolai!” I called out my wingman immediately I dropped the phone. Just then another call came into Nikolai's phone. "Permit me to pick the call my lord,” Nikolai requested and I nodded in affirmation. Not long after, he dropped the call. “It was a call about a lone wolf. It was from another wolf and yet what was most intriguing about the whole thing was that this caller had demanded no commissions.” Nikolai said with a smirk. I was skeptical at first but it won't hurt to take those dogs for a walk. We take lone wolves in as a servant for our pack but if they are lucky enough, they might be mated to one of us. I turned to the nearest man, “Get the dogs and go, we have a lone wolf out of its cage,”“We have no dogs,” a voice said from behind

I needed to be there.Rune who had teleported away was yet to return.He was my eyes and ears outside of this place.I wasn't ready to face my people, my brother, but I was willing to try, and most especially, for Lyra.Rune returned but it was with a more dramatic light show than he left.“That will teach that lout not to double-cross me,” he said as he walked up to the wine cabinet.“Spells and magic have taken a whole lot out of me today, please let us rest,” Rune said to me. “You should also have a shot yourself, you look like a drenched wolf cub,” he added. I looked at him and chuckled, my next news was going to send him into a frenzy, a very wild one at that. “Drink up and rest and do that quickly. We're heading to the Darkmoon manor at once,”And just as expected, he gave a dramatic show.He spat the drink from his mouth and choked on his tongue.“What do you mean we are

I saw Nikolai's corpse falling in too, but there was nothing that I could do.“Where is he?” I asked without wasting any more time.I turned back and ran, leading Rune to where Xavier lay.The remaining rogues who were there still ran after us, but they were the least of my problems.I just wanted Xavier alive and well.We got to where he was. “Rune? Is that you?” Xavier asked.“Of course, it is me,” Rune called out to him, while his grimoire flew closely.“Lyra, there is a spell here, but the ingredients and the time for this spell are impossible to get and prepare.”“Well, not for me, but given the time and the availability of these materials, I am sorry; there is nothing that we can do!” he said to me.“Do something!”The rogues had already caught up to us and were coming closer and closer.“Hold!” Rune said to me.“That should be able to hold them.” A protective form of li

I should take your life right here and now, and there would be nothing that would happen.”“Do that, please,” he said, bleeding seriously from his shoulder; he was not healing.“The poison has got to you badly, has it not?” I asked him, and he shook his head.I thought he had healed from the poison Lucas injected him with, but I was wrong.That bastard strikes and wins again, with Nikolai.“Akira asked me to protect you…”I saw the shock in his eyes. “And that, I swear, I am going to do!”He was teary; his eyes were saddled with regrets. I could see that he was willing to turn back the hands of time just to correct the mistakes he had made before.“That is too late. There is nothing that you can do now. I am still holding on to tell you some things.”“Even if you figure something out, that w

    Lyra's POVThere was something uncomfortable on my face. I was too weak to open my eyes, and for some reason, I felt oddly comfortable where I lay. I didn’t want to move a muscle, but the crawling sensation grew worse, becoming unbearable.I tried to brush whatever it was away with my hands, but it was no use. I had to open my eyes. My heart leapt when they finally came into contact with the green leaves hanging and swinging freely above me.The tingling sensation I felt was from a spider trying to weave a web on my face. I remembered why I was here.I could hear thunder and sizzling sounds nearby, and I knew something was happening. Random screams and shouts echoed around me. I realized people were getting hit, and the moment I thought of who might be on the receiving end, I summoned every last bit of strength I had to stand and fight.As I made my way through the bushes, I began to wonder who was fighting. “Nikolai?” I thought in disbelief. There was no way he could have done this.

Not everyone has to tell you everything,” he added with a smirk.“It’s not every day you see a three-tailed wolf laying around at her initiation ceremony.”Pity filled me as I recalled all the times I should have been there for her. But it was too late to turn back now. If I had one wish, it would be to go back and support her then.“Of course, I knew what that meant,” he said, taking a step forward. “I and Lyra have history.”“Remember that one time you subjected me to the human realm, forcing me to live amongst them for over a century? Yes, that one time. I obeyed, and it turned out not to be as bad as I expected.”“It was wonderful. She was one of the reasons—I loved her dearly.”“She didn’t give me a chance anyway, and my punishment was nearing its completion. I was going to make my move until you cut me off.”“I mean, you brought her back to me…”He must have seen the confusion in my eyes. “Oh… I understand how confusing that

    Xavier's POVI had heard enough from Rune. I could have found ways to shut him up if this were not true and if he had not just been to hell and back. His explanations gave logical reasons for everything I experienced the very first day I came in contact with Lyra. It could also explain why Ozed was skeptical about me touching her that night and why I felt attracted to her.But there was a catch: if all that Rune had said were true, I was yet to see her as my mate. She was still with her exes, as far as I knew, and I did not want to ruin whatever we had going on between us. I trusted Rune, but this was a significant risk to take. But first, I needed to get to Lyra.He was still speaking when I felt something strange. Whatever it was, I could feel it, and it felt familiar. I needed to get to her.I impulsively entered the bushy road without consulting Rune. This was one of those times I fully trusted my instincts and whatever I felt.“You feel that too?” I asked.He responded in the a

    Rune's POVI had been through hell and back, and today felt like the worst of it. I was certain this was the least that could happen to me.I opened my eyes to see Xavier looming over me, his face a mix of concern and confusion. He was calling my name repeatedly, but I was just as lost as I had been moments ago. Where was I? What was happening?As my surroundings came into focus, I realized I was in Kayla's room. I struggled to piece together how I got there, my mind still foggy. Xavier's urgent voice was a constant in my ears, shaking me as if he could rattle the answers out of me.“Rune,” he called again, and I felt a surge of irritation. The pounding in my head was growing unbearable. Just as I was about to respond, an unexpected sneeze overtook me. It felt like a reset button—my heart kicked back to life, and memories flooded my mind.“I remember trying to...” I began, but the thoughts were jumbled, causing a splitting headache. I could barely differentiate between past and presen

I turned to check on Rune and saw he was still asleep. I followed the movement behind the headrest. It was fast—definitely not a rat; they wouldn’t survive long in this meticulously clean manor.The sound moved to the closet. I opened the door and found it—Rune's grimoire. “You sneaky tome!” I chuckled, mentally exhausted. I fell back onto the bed, trying to catch my breath.“Wait…” A bright idea struck me. We didn’t actually need Lyra; I just needed the grimoire.“Your master is sick and not himself,” I told it. The book pulsed with a glow, responding, but I couldn’t understand its message.“Yeah, yeah,” I muttered, still unsure how to communicate. The one who could explain everything was unconscious, and I couldn’t risk waking him without facing repercussions.The grimoire pulsed again. I tore open the bag containin

    Xavier's POVI needed to handle this matter wisely. Something was going on, and I had to get to the bottom of it. Rune had become audacious. I knew he was bold, but today felt different. He was embittered, fueled by every negative energy I could think of. This wasn’t the Rune who stood for the right things.I had no one to blame but myself. I left him to whatever had changed him. “Lyra was right,” I sighed. I needed to know what was wrong with Rune and, most importantly, if the one I held in my hands was truly him. This was a serious debate in my mind. Certain signs made me believe this was Rune, while others made me doubt. He had knowledge no one else could have about me. He was my right-hand man for a reason, privy to my deepest fears. He was a magic user, and the spells he cast were ones I had seen him use before. But the fact that he couldn’t heal as quickly as usual threw me off. He was a wolf, after all.“Why do I even bother?” I groaned. “Just don’t let him die. Whoever he

    Nikolai's POV“You had better start talking!” Lyra said as she opened the door to her closet.It was a close call.She had been a good host to me all this while.Either she knew what she was up against and didn’t care, or she was just foolish to help me. Whatever the case, I was grateful.Luca came inside and saw me.I pleaded with him to spare my life. “What the hell do you want from me? I’m done with this,” I said.“I’m tired of your control and reign of terror. Have you done enough by taking my sister too?”“Just leave me alone. You have a lot of people under you, yet you cling to me like a plague.”He chuckled. “And there he goes, the little pup has begun to grow teeth and thinks it’s okay to nip at the elder wolf! The audacity,” he said, walking closer to the window.“You know Lyra is a lovely wolf,” he said. I knew he was watching her from the window. My heart skipped a beat.“Do what you want with me, but leave Lyra out of this.”“Really?” He laughed. “You think this is about
