Lyra’s pov

The forest stretched out in front of us, a green wave as we walked. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting odd shadows on the path ahead. The only sounds were the rustling of leaves, birds calling somewhere above us and an occasional branch cracking under our feet.

Greg led the way, a dead wildebeest more than twice his size and weight weighed across his massive shoulders. His bare chest shone with sweat and every muscle moved easily beneath his skin.

Meanwhile, I was shuffling along at a snail’s pace, my body in agony from hours of torturous walking; my stomach felt like it was eating itself, my legs were on fire and every step sent shooting pains through my lower back.

Greg turned slightly, his eyes glinting in the low light. “How’s your training going?”

I breathed in deeply, trying not to sound as tired as I felt. “It’s fine, I suppose.”

He arched one eyebrow, a faint smile on his lips again. “Just fine?”

I did an eye roll. “It’s difficult but I’m doing it

    Greg’s povI made my way to the kitchen and dropped the heavy buffalo on the preparation table causing a thud that caused the maids to jump and turn towards me with wide eyes. “Prepare it for dinner,” I told them, rolling my shoulders to try and dispel some of the tension from carrying the massive beast all the way back.The head cook, a kind old woman named Martha, smiled happily at me. “Yes, Alpha.” She waved for a couple of the other maids to get going with her, quickly barking orders at them on how to deal with such a large amount of meat.Since there was nothing left for me to do, I turned around and left the kitchen.The minute I got to the hallway, I saw Sanchez waiting for me with his arms crossed over his broad chest. His gaze took in my dishevelled appearance.Satisfied, I turned and left the room, making my way out into the hallway.When I opened the door to the corridor, I found Sanchez waiting on the other side. He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed over his

    Author’s povSanchez dragged Steven along the packhouse’s long halls, his grasp unbreakable.Steven fought, his fingers tearing at Sanchez’s hand, but he couldn’t do it.“Let go of me!” Steven hissed, panic rising in his voice.But Sanchez didn’t release him.His face was stone-cold and his eyes were burning with an anger Steven had never seen before.The packhouse doors swung open as Sanchez threw Steven out, causing Steven to roll out onto the dirt.The cool night air blew in Steven’s face, although he wasn’t aware of it. His mind had gone into overdrive.He could not believe that this was happening now.“Please don't do this. You have to stop. It’s not good. Please stop.”“I told you to stay away from her. It was very simple. Anyone would do that with half a brain. But you refused to listen.”But Stephen refused to listen. “I get it. I shouldn’t have done what I did. I wasn’t thinking.”Sanchez growled at this as he rolled his eyes in disgust.“Not thinking? You put your hands on

I turned to look at him as I called out. “Greg?”His eyes met mine. “Yeah?”It took a moment for me to be calm before I sighed and went on to talk to him. “You’re not a bad person.”He laughed a bit before nodding, “Is that your way of trying to patronize me?”“Maybe.”He grinned. “You know, for someone who is just a wolf and not a lycan, you’re not bad yourself.”“What?!” I laughed, smacking his chest in a playful venture.Greg just laughed, his body trembling a little.But then, something in his face and voice shifted and he wasn't quite so entertained.There was something else in his expression now.Something that went beyond just being an alpha.I caught my breath as he leaned into mine.I knew I should look away.I knew I was in dangerous territory.

    Authors povIn the dead of night, hidden by trees that reached towards the sky, a group of elders congregated in a clearing far into the deep forest. The moon illuminated them softly but the density of the leaves produced enough darkness to ensure that they would not be heard. They were all uneasy for one reason or another; some worried, others angry and a few even still bemused.“We cannot let this stand,” said Darius, a tall Lycan with loose silver hair. His eyes shone like fresh snow. “We just can’t.”“Agreed.” Another elder, named Rowan, grumbled. He was shorter but built like a warrior and his arms were crossed tightly over his chest. “A mere wolf cannot be Luna; this goes against everything we have built.”Again there were murmurs of agreement from a few of the elders and silence from others.“Maybe we should consider this.” Elder Magnus spoke calmly, his aged face held wisdom but also doubt. “Greg is our king. If he feels that this woman is right for him… then who are we not to

That she needed protection because she was incompetent?Pained, she turned and fled the hall, letting her anger seething through her with every stride.Greg saw her retreating figure as the meeting ended. “Fuck,” he sighed as he ran his hand through his hair. Without waiting, he followed her as he called after her.“Lyra!” He called as she didn’t stop but kept on running.It was clear she hated him. He used his speed to catch up with her as he held her arm and held her in place. But she shoved against him to take her arm back.“Why won’t you leave me be?” She asked in anger. “It’s clear you don’t care about me so how about you let me be.”“Lyra calm down,” he sighed. "Let me explain.""Explain to me?" she snapped, whirling on him. "You want to explain? Do you mean like I'm harmless? Like I'm not a real werewolf?"Greg flinched. "No, that's--"“

It was then that I heard a knock on the door as I got out of bed and looked at the clock.Who could be at the door this early in the morning, I thought to myself before I stretched again.Before I could even take a step to the door, the front door flew open and in walked a woman with fabric swatches and a measuring tape around her neck, followed closely by two others with boxes, and bags.“Good morning Miss Lyra,” the woman smiled brightly. “My name’s Clara, I’m the lead designer of the pack; Alpha Greg sent me here to get your measurements for tonight’s ball.”I blinked sitting up in bed, my mind in a whirl at what she had just said. “Ball? What ball?”Clara tilted her head, still smiling. “The ball that Alpha Greg will be holding tonight.

I hadn’t slept well since last night but now that I was here, I might fall back to sleep. As I got to my feet to dress up, I heard a knock. "Come in," I said softly.The door creaked open and Helga walked in, her smile always beaming. She was my personal maid of sorts and had become more like a friend to me as the weeks went by. She had a tray with tea and light snacks that she set on the small table before looking at me, “Good afternoon Miss Lyra,” she said to me warmly. “Feeling better? Aren’t you excited for tonight?”I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. “I don’t know, Helga. I don’t. I just want this all to go down without a hitch.”She laughed but her laugh was light and teasing. “Aw, come on, Lyra! It’s going to be great! You’ll see!

People crowded around, the scent of wine and spices hanging in the air but beneath it all, there was no mistaking that this was a Lycan party. It hung heavy in the air, a heady thing that stilled my heart for a moment.I followed Greg through the crowd, feeling my heart pound in my chest. A ball that Greg had thrown me that night but I was still scared of how everything was going to go.I stood in the middle of the most powerful Lycans and Alphas in existence as my mated partner walked around trying to introduce me.All I could do was smile and try to be as polite as possible. I didn’t want to cause any war or trouble as I knew how lycans could be. They found so many things offensive and the minute most of them knew I was a wolf, they would flip.What was I even saying? Through my scent, I was sure they already knew I was a wolf. I gulp
