A comfortable silence settled between us.

I looked around and closed my eyes as I felt like I was safe now.

But before I could sleep off, something bothered me. 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.

But I couldn’t. I didn’t care and to be honest I didn’t want

    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

    Authors povThe sentence repeated in her head, and it hurt like a physical blow. Did he think that little of her? That she was somehow less? 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--"“

    Lyra’s povThe next morning, I woke up to sunlight getting in through the curtains. I yawned and stretched as I felt a bit groggy from last night. 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. It’s quite important and he would have you looking your best there if I heard it right, you’re going

    Lyra’s povThe sun of that Noonday was white with heat. Multicoloured flowers drooped in their pots. The windows of the rooms gleamed as I sat on the bed, groggy. 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! You’re going to look radiant and everyone is just going to die over how wonderfu

    LYRA.My feet left the ground as my body was slammed against the rough bark of a towering pine tree. My fingers clawed at the hand wrapped tightly around my throat, my nails scraping against unyielding flesh. Air refused to enter my lungs, and my vision began to blur as dark spots danced at the edges."Pathetic whore," a voice sneered cruelly, and the fingers let loose my throat only at the moment when the blackness of unconsciousness seemed to come and swallow me. I slumped on the ground, like a rag doll, clasping my neck and gagging for breath.Above me, the jeering laughs of my bullies were grating, and nasty to hear."Why do we even bother? She's not even worth the dirt under our boots," a tall, broad-shouldered boy sneered."She's just a burden," another joined in."You should've died in your mother's place," Anna's cold voice cut through the rest, silencing them all in an instant.I lifted my teary gaze to meet the smirk of the auburn-haired beauty. Anna stood with her arms cros

    LYRA.I stood shaking in the centre of the packed square, surrounded by a sea of pack members, all eyes on me. The mate bond, that sacred, unbreakable connection, stirred weakly in my chest as if it knew what was coming. Across from me, Alpha Derrick Lashley stood tall, his piercing amber eyes cold and unforgiving. The weight of his authority and dominance was a suffocating reminder of the power that he held, not just over the pack but over my very heart."Say it," Anna's voice whispered venomously from behind Derrick as her perfectly manicured hand rested possessively upon his arm. She smirked, her green eyes gleaming with malice.My hands were shaking as Derrick's mouth opened, the words I feared like a death sentence falling from his lips. "I, Derrick Lashley, reject you, Lyra Morgant, as my mate.The bond shattered. The agony I had never known ripped through my chest, and I fell to my knees, clutching at my heart as if someone had driven a blade deep into her and twisted it mercil

    LYRA. It took several weeks before the torment finally let up. I knew Anna had grown more enraged with each passing day, the smug, cruel Luna-in-waiting having finally caught on to Alpha Derrick's twisted obsession with me. Scornful glances turned to outright hostility from Anna as her group of bullies became even more creative in their tortures to make my life a living hell.Yet, nothing terrified me more than Derrick himself. His shadow seemed to follow me everywhere. He lurked in corners, his eyes dark with something far more sinister than affection. I avoided him as best as I could, working tirelessly, keeping my head down, and taking the long way back to my quarters every night.But I could never avoid him forever.It happened one quiet afternoon in the kitchens. I was scrubbing pots, the heat from the stoves making my hair stick to my damp forehead. I barely registered his scent until it was too late."Lyra," Derrick's deep voice rumbled behind me, sending a chill down my spine

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.

    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.

    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
