While the two lovebirds reached a common ground together, with Alpha Tristan atoning for his sins, they were unaware of just how lethal and closely the evil lurked. Lyra on the other hand, unintentionally made things a lot harder for Alpha Tristan. This was one of the things she feared. Although she was sure she had gained the respect of everyone in the palace by now, she had watched her own cousin, Athena, take her place in Alexandra's heart.She knew first hand how it felt. She could not believe that the peaceful love she now acquired held extra strings to it. Due to her mixed emotions, she had simply asked for a bit of space from Alpha Tristan that night, when he was about to skip into the covers with her. “Go to your quarters, Tristan. I want to be left alone”This statement put him into a dumbfounded state as he held the covers mid air. “What else can I do, my princess?”His voice was almost breaking, looking at her resolved expression. Had she really made up her mind to no
Alpha Tristan arrived at the dining room, full of smoke as he coughed violently.He walked towards Lyra as she was now the only one at the table, staring at him flatly.“Are you okay, my princess?”, His hands draped over her shoulders as he crouched down beside her, looking at her in deep concern.Lyra remained motionless and speechless as she maintained her lost gaze into an air of nothingness. Alpha Tristan was suddenly driven into panic by her unresponsiveness, and was about to shake her slightly, when she turned towards him.Their faces rubbed on each other, but this time, there were no sparks of romance or gazes filled with desire. Lyra's heartbroken eyes tore him from the insides again as he involuntarily turned towards Laura's empty chair.What had she told Lyra while he was gone? He should not have let this happen. He was too angry to stand her anymore, but what happened to protecting Lyra as well.“You have something else you're hiding, Tristan?”He snapped his neck towards
Luckily, they had sailed through the violent winds.The palace had quietened down. There was no more hushing around as everything was now clear.According to the palace maids and guards, Laura had fallen out of favor with Alpha Tristan. The maids accorded her more respect as she had successfully made their Alpha throw out the witch. Each of them looked forward to working in the kitchen as only then, they could assist her and be among the first to take in the sweet aroma of her delicacies.Lyra, on the other hand, who was more than happy to share as she was left with nothing to do the entire day, eagerly let the maids watch her as she prepared them.It should be noted that not all the palace maids and guards were happy with the changes as well. They still viewed her as a home wrecker, despite her genuine kindness.This controversy lingered amongst them, but none was bold enough to make any of their opinions visible to Lyra as they feared the Alpha's wrath.“I think this current princ
The eyes only speak the truth.Locky's intense scrutiny did not miss Laura's expectant gaze. He definitely knew her. Ha! Lyra had better braced herself for her arrival at the palace. Yes.. because she was not leaving here without any answers. “Why have you come, Laura?”, His lips pursed in a thin line as he waited for her response. His arms were spread over his legs which were firmly hooked to a small four-legged chair. Laura's eyes curved at him in a sly manner, before responding, “I believe you already know that, Locky”.His eyes cast downwards as he smiled faintly.Laura was, in fact, not surprised that he knew her name. She would have been surprised if he did not know her instead. Her doubts were dispelled in that moment as she now believed he was truly as good as they said.“We only see what is shown to us, Laura. We do not read minds”The slyness gradually dissipated from her eyes as she leaned forward in helpless curiosity.“What do you mean?”“You are aware of the debate
Their bodies glistened with sweat as Alpha Tristan lay motionlessly on her, their heavy breaths filling the room. Laura is not at all surprised by his amount of energy tonight. She willingly surrenders herself even more to him every time.He rolls off her in exhaustion, while she flashes a smile towards him.Seeing no hint of irritation or resistance from him, she knows his guard against her is completely pulled down. Drawing closer to him, she gently strokes his wood, enjoying the feel of it as it responds to her touch.“My lord”, she softly calls out while he groans in response. His eyes remain tightly shut, slipping his fingers into her hair.“There is something you must know”, her strokes increase slightly as she carefully observes his face for a reaction.“And what is that?”He was not pleased that she wanted to bring up a conversation while they were having a good time. His wood itched to ram in and out of her again.“She is from the crescent moon pack”Hearing the name from h
The air wasn't just meant for birds.The conversation drew a longer thread between them. Alpha Tristan buried himself in the pack matters and unnecessary meetings. They both still cared for each other a lot deeply. But secrets had its way of weaning distrust. Lyra had not still come to trust Alpha Tristan with her past as it truly did not matter to her. She knew about the war between both packs. It had been her lingering fear. Would his love for her be greater than a war that did not even involve her? She could not trade the love she now had for anything, but secrets.As much as he hated the Crescent moon pack, he knew he would forgive Lyra if she told him the truth. Alpha Tristan itched to hear the truth from Lyra, which was why he clearly asked to dispel his doubts.But her eyes and lips told two different tales. He was hurt. How could she not trust him till now? He was going to make her his Queen already. Alpha Tristan's bedroom was now completely abandoned. Although Lyra's nec
Lyra’s POVI can't stop thinking about the mating ceremony coming up tomorrow. Finally, I am going to meet the person the Moon Goddess carefully picked for me. I thought as I stood near the iron bucket I had brought along with me to clean.The mating ceremony was an annual ceremony held only once a year. The palace was going to be beautifully decorated, and everyone in the pack was to attend. The mating ceremony was a dream come true for all the women and men in the pack, for all were given their desired mates.I am from the Crescent Moon Pack. They were one of the most prestigious packs in the city of Oceania. The crescent moon pack is highly respected throughout Oceania due to their terrifying strength and ability to take over their prey and predators with their ferocious attacks and techniques. They are currently the strongest and most-feared pack. No one dares to harm anyone from the crescent moon pack and gets away with it. They were well known in the whole of Oceania and also t
Lyra’s POV"Are you there? Hello?" I could hear someone's voice as I opened my eyes carefully. Weirdly, I was on something very soft and comfy. From the feeling, I noticed it was a bed or something and not on the hard grounds of the castle."Hello , Can you hear me? I looked up to see a girl, blue-eyed, with a round face and cheeks as big as eggs. She still had her hand waving over my face when I jumped away from the bed, looking at the surroundings. I was in someone's house."Oh, finally, you are awake." I gazed down at my body to find myself in clothes just barely enough to fit me."Who are you? Where am I? What did you do to me? How long have I been asleep for?" I questioned while shouting like a mad one, heading backwards, trying to find a gasp in the situation."Calm down with the questions, Miss. First, I would really appreciate a thank you instead of the questions.""A thank you?""Yes""Why would I thank you for what I don't even know about?""Are you always like this?""Like
