Lyra(Mia’s) POV.

A day in the office was everything you would expect. It was hectic to the core.

The demand for drafts were alarming and the workload threatened to break my shoulders. I barely got the chance to get up and have myself a feel of lunch. I had to eat my bagel at my table.

I was working twice as hard as everyone else at work and that was no pun intended. Everyone was looking up to me to maintain my fame and the only way to do that was to milk out more beautiful designs.

“You look like you're about to pass out,” Sandra sympathised with me. “Where the hell is the Alpha? He is the one who is supposed to handle all these schedules, not you.”

I sighed in resignation. “I don't have any reason to complain or question his actions. I'm just doing what is expected from me, my job!”

I had a feeling that something wasn't right with Alpha Damion. It was unlike him to stay away from work, worst of all to stay away from work on a day when he has all these important meetings.

    Damion's POV I turned around in my bed restlessly. Being locked up in my room all morning was not the best kind of treatment, but it was the only way I could keep myself in check. I got down from the bed, unable to get any rest. I paced around the room, which was awfully quiet. It was more like a bunker than a room. There was only one way in and out, and the door could only be opened from the outside. It was stocked to the brim with snacks and as many groceries as I needed for the night. That was all I would need for the night. There was nothing I didn't have…well, except for liquor. My mother was of the opinion that it was better to go through the night without getting my head riled up. All I had that connected me to the other side of the bunker door was a button that sat at the top of my bedstead. One push, and a maid would find her way in here.Ohh well…I am being imprisoned. And it is for the greater good of everyone.Sad to say what the reason was,“But I am a monster.”

    Damion’s POV “Come off it, Laura!” I snapped. “How many times have I told you to stay out of my business with Mia?!”Everything about this situation was wrong.For one, she had no reason to be here. I had no clue how she managed to get past the guards without being stopped.And now, she knew I was in a bunker. It was only a matter of time before everyone started asking questions.That was something I wasn't ready for—questions being asked. “This is not a prank, Alpha Damion. If you don’t believe me, you can pick up the envelope and check out the pictures yourself.” I wanted to push her out of the room along with the package she had brought with her. But curiosity had held me in bondage and wouldn’t loosen its grip until I satisfied it. I tore open the envelope, making sure not to destroy its contents. Right in front of me were pictures that I disliked as soon as my eyes fell on them. “What the hell?” I muttered to myself, feeling my butt give way as I fell back onto the couc

    Lyra(Mia’s) POV Xander had really been a pain in the butt, and I mean that metaphorically for all you dirty-minded fellas in the house. For some reason—which he didn't spill—he had me driving all around town just to avoid cops. I kept my hand on the wheel with the impression that I was harboring a criminal. As a Luna, that was not an impression you wanted people to have of you. We had spent over an hour trying to keep our tracks covered before I could finally sneak him through the gate. By the time I had dropped him off at the spot where his car was parked, it was getting to nightfall. I had lost the hour I would have used to catch some sleep. "I'm sorry we had to go through all this stress. I promise the next time won't be like this." I shot him a glare. I wished there wasn’t a second time, that I wouldn't get to see him again for the rest of my life. But wishes were horses, and I had no idea how to ride. I had to see him again. It was the only way my plan for revenge w

    Lyra’s pov“By the power vested in me, I hereby reject you as my mate from this moment onwards.” Xander snapped angrily.The room was filled with a lot of people talking, whispering to themselves as they looked at me with disgust on their faces.— my twin sister,my parents, the whole pack and the elders.My senses became clearer and I could feel the warmth of the blanket over my body. I was half naked- with just my underwear. I blinked rapidly in confusion while trying to recognize my surroundings.Why am I in bed when I was supposed to be at my mating ceremony? I wondered as i looked around.The weight of confusion hit me more as I felt a movement beside me. My heart raced, I looked over as fear gripped my soul like a cold wave. A stranger was next to me with his chest bare and caught under the sheets.“What!…Who is this? And what am I doing in bed with this man?” I questioned with my voice below whispers,clutching the blanket tightly around my trembling body.“Quit the pretense Lyra!

    Lyra’s POVThe night air was cold, biting against my skin as I stood face to face with Nyla , the sister I had once loved and trusted. The sister who now wore a twisted smirk that chilled me to my core.“So This is goodbye,Nyla?,” I said softly, my voice trembling but firm. “I don’t know how to make you see the truth, but I hope one day you’ll realize how much I loved you, despite everything.”Nyla chuckled darkly, crossing her arms. “Spare me the sentiment, Lyra. You think I don’t know you’re planning to slink away with your tail between your legs? You think you’re some tragic heroine? You’re pathetic.”I froze, her venomous words sinking in. “Why are you saying this?”“Why?” she echoed, her voice dripping with mockery. “Because I’ve waited for this moment my entire life. To watch you, the perfect little Lyra, fall from your pedestal. You’ve always been the favorite and always in my way stopping me from getting anything I wanted,weren’t you?.You were always Loved by our parents even

    Lyra (Mia)’s POVThe hours went by as I tried to adapt my new reality.Every corner of the house felt strange and unfamiliar, yet the people around me spoke to me as if I had always been here even though my responses were a bit hesitant and unsure,as if I was trying to put together pieces of puzzles I didn’t know I was a part of.“Mia, breakfast is ready!” The woman who claimed to be my mother called out loudly from downstairs.Her voice carried warmth, but my chest tightened at the sound. It wasn’t my mother and that wasn’t my name.My real mother was miles away, probably grieving about my death. I doubt she is, cause she never cared about hearing my side of the story or bothered about me being kicked out of the pack.I stared at the mirror again, tracing the features of my new face. They were hauntingly similar to mine, yet distinctly different. The gray eyes that stared back at me felt foreign. My auburn hair was now silver, shimmering like the moonlight. I clenched my fists, tryin

    Lyra (Mia)’s POVThe house was bustling with activity by the time I was done getting ready. The Servants moved around , ensuring everything was spotless, while my so-called parents barked orders left and right. There was an obvious tension in the air, and it was all because of him.Damion Byers.That name alone sent chills down my spine. The Alpha King of the Bloodhound Pack wasn’t just feared—he was legendary for his ruthlessness. Stories of his conquests and the blood he spilled were whispered in every corner of the werewolf realm. And now, he was coming here.To marry me.I stood in front of the mirror, dressed in a soft blue gown that clung to my frame showing the shape of my body and the front which was revealing a bit of my cleavage.My silver hair was styled up, and a hint of rouge brought color to my pale cheeks. I looked nothing like the Lyra who had once been rejected and cast aside.But as much as I tried to brace myself, my hands trembled. I wasn't ready to meet him—or any

    Lyra(Mia's) POV“What are you doing here?” Damion's cold voice sounded behind me.Thinking about what you and your mother were discussing was the answer. Reality was checking in with me and I desperately craved an explanation for the mess I was in.“I was just going for a bathroom break. I lost my way and was waiting until someone came by.”I was standing at the edge of the hallway , not quite long away from the room in which I overheard him discussing a matter that troubled my mind.“Come with me. I'll show you where you'll be spending your days.”He marched forward silently beckoning me to follow. I obliged but at a safe pace. His words still brought me terror.I smiled. Surely he was taking me to a grand room.Beneath the strings that were beginning to get attached, the title of Luna was a prestigious one. I felt honoured and couldn't wait to experience the good perks that came with it.Living with Damion's scared me. The man hadn't muttered a word to me and I knew better than to s

    Xander's POV He who tickles the balls of the tiger should be ready to wrestle. That is a popular saying, and most of the time, it gives a glimpse into what is going to happen. But it wasn't what happened in my case. Damion had formed his own pack and had tried to take over my business. I had promised to strike back, but I had been impotent at fighting against the pressure. I had promised that I would show him a violent side of myself, but I had failed to fight back. He had walked into my pack and trampled on me. And I didn't have a say. How much weaker could I prove myself to be? Just when I thought I had my peace, someone rushed into the room without bothering to knock. I looked up to see Nyla at the door, walking toward me. “You have become lazy, Xander. You have indoors all day. Are you not aware you're supposed to be coordinating affairs around the office?” “Don't bother me with your yapping this afternoon, Nyla,” I snapped. “If you don't have something important t

    Damion’s POV I have been holding it in for too long. My feelings toward Mia have been like a rash that wouldn't go away no matter which ointments I applied. I was not used to feeling this way about a woman. The only feelings my heart had known to process until this moment were lust. Love was not on the cards for me, especially toward the woman I hated the most in the world. “What?” she asked, and I lifted my chin to look at her. It was hard enough that I confessed. Had this change not shown up, I would have probably ended up bottling it in for the rest of my life. But her question had struck the well deep enough to bring forth a pool of my secrets. “It's the only explanation for this unusual desire I have toward you. It's like I want you to be mine and mine only. I hate this feeling. I want it to go away, and I hope if I fight it long and well enough, it will eventually ease off,” I struggled to confess. This wasn't a feeling that had begun from the moment I kissed her. It

    Lyra(Mia’s)POV This man's lips were soft. He held me close enough to feel his heart strumming against mine. Should he let me go? Hell no! If there was a way we could get any closer than this, I would not mind. If he pulled me any closer, he would for sure crush me under his grip. My hands went over his shoulders as I held him close. His body felt familiar, felt perfect against mine. It was a raw, sensual entwining. How could I feel this much attachment to a man who had just bullied me a couple of minutes ago? I knew damn well he was a heartless cheat, but still, I was clinging to him like my life depended on it. His tongue reached deep, fighting for dominion. I was the helpless maiden craving more. He conquered me, and I submitted. I tugged at his clothes, trying to rip them off his skin. I wanted more, and I needed it quickly. I wanted to feel those rigid outlines that always tensed up under his chest whenever he was losing his mind. I wanted to run my hands along his

    Damion’s POV. A barge into my office startled me. I was just getting into my nap, but the noise shot my soul straight from my body. I only relaxed when I saw the intruder was Logan. “Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” He walked into the room with raised cheeks and a wide smile. “Have you read the new bulletin for today?” I rubbed off what remained of slumber in my eyes. “No, I haven't. Should I be worried?” He sighed, placing a tablet in front of me. “I'm not going to ruin the fun for you. Go through it yourself.” He didn't have to say it. As soon as that tablet landed on the table, I pulled it toward myself and began scrolling. The first headline caught my eye. "NEW BREAKTHROUGH TALENT STUNS THE FASHION WORLD; PURE TALENT IN AN UNLIKELY PLACE!" Right below it was a picture of Mia smiling. I recalled that image. It was taken on the night of her coronation. Just beside her was a picture of the dress she had presented. It was trending. All the top

    Lyra(Mia’s)POV.My palms were getting sweaty. Having all those eyes pointed in my face made me rethink coming in here. I had trusted my instincts yet again; my instincts coupled with some motivation from Sandra. If Logan wasn't going to let me in, I was going to let myself in; that's the mindset that had ended me up in this pickle. I took a glance at where I was. A couple of steps away from me to the side of the room, I could spot the other designers staring at me. They were bitter, standing besides there rejected work. They must be hoping my work would turn out the same way as theirs, especially Laura. I saw Logan walking over to me and I froze. He had a curt smile which I couldn't place if it was genuine or not. “Hi,” I managed to mutter without cracking my voice.“Don't bother with the pleasantries,” he snapped. “Just make sure you bring this home. If you mess this up more than this, you are going to walk out of the door and never come back.”“Great motivation, Logan!” I mutter
