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
Alexander’s POVA Day Before The CeremonyI looked into the mirror, admiring my handsome self. “I hope that delusional goddess gives me a strong mate—a mate not as strong as me, though.”“From the rumors, you should be feeling the bond between the two of you a day before the ceremony." My beta Jasper, who was also my right hand, replied to me while standing by the entrance of my door. He was always beside me, ever since I became the Alpha."Do you feel a bond with anyone, Jasper?""I did feel a sensation when I woke up," he said, looking at me with a smile on his face."Why do I feel like you are not talking about something relating to mating?""What are you insinuating, Alexander?" We both burst into laughter. Even if he was my beta, he had always called me by my name. He was the only one permitted to call me without saying "Alpha.".We were the best of friends through the lowest of lows. We didn't have wealthy parents. My father had died during the last war between another pack, whi
Alexander’s POVBecoming the alpha that day became the biggest change in my life. I had people bowing down whenever I passed; I could have any maiden of my choice. The life of the Alpha was something I wouldn't give up until I died. Who would? This power was something I had always longed for...........A few months passed, and I had gotten used to the royal life. To my utmost surprise, I was informed that Jasper was still conscious. They had found him breathing when they went to retrieve his body. His wound had been healing slowly but barely enough to heal him completely, so they had taken him to the healers mountains to get him back into shape."I thought it was a fight to the death. You could have left him there to die.""The main elder ordered to save him says he's going to be useful to you, my Lord." The messenger who was assigned to deliver the message had his head down. Who would look the Alpha in the face?."Oh, really? I really regret not delivering that final blow. I was a f
Lyra’s POVI had crushed the doors of the room to find myself at the ceremony; how is that possible? I turned around to find the room where I had come from, surprisingly. It was the room where the chief maiden had almost beaten me to death. No way!! I was just running away from Sasha a minute ago. I had so many questions running through my mind.I had to run away to get away from whatever Sasha had planned to execute on me. And some way or another, I ended up back at the palace after breaking through the door. Was it a dream? It felt like my mind was playing with me. I prayed it was just my mind playing with me as I decided not to think about what happened with Sasha and face the problem at hand.I finally left my thoughts to find everyone looking at me. Everyone, including the main elders and the chief priest, It was very obvious that I had disturbed the ceremony, as everyone gave me that look. I never wanted this kind of attention. "I am really sorry, hehe. You can continue, she sa
His words rang loudly in my ears like a constant echo that I had begun to see the words boldly written on that face of his.Who did he think he was to reject me just because he was the Alpha? My tears poured on my cheeks like rain, and my eyes hazily ran through my drawers, searching for my clothes. The room was too dark to see anything, not even myself. Crashing hard on the ground in frustration, I screamed into my palms over my mouth. It would have been further embarrassing for anyone to hear me cry. I doubt they cared that much anyways.Looking up at the half moon reflecting on my face, my hoarse voice bitterly complained. “You really do not give me a choice for anything, huh? Not even about my mate? Are we not all equals to you too?”, My voice broke with each fully formed sentence.“Why did you have to take me so high up to make me crash? In front of them, in front of him!”, My anger had turned into pleas and grieviances.“There is no place for me here, moon goddess. I have to
The sun rays flowed through the silk curtains, landing directly on my shut eyes. Groaning in annoyance, I rolled over, turning to the other side, when it suddenly hit me.Pressing my body into the soft texture of the bed, my eyes instantly flew open. I slowly blinked them, trying to adapt to the strange environment. This was definitely not my room. Staring into nothingness for a while, it all began to flood back into my head. I had gone to drown myself in a bar…and I had met a man. My eyes rolled down to my uncovered body, which laid fully unclothed.Right. I had sex with a stranger. Not just any kind of sex. But my first time at that.I stretched out my wobbly feet on the carpet, going straight to the bathroom. There, I stood motionlessly in front of the large mirror, admiring the hickeys on my neck. Although the memories from last night still played hazily in my head, which was a different kind of pain. Especially the man. I could not recall how he looked like. The only thing that
