Lyra(Mia’s)POV

I sat in the dark car that had brought me here. The only difference was that Logan was driving, and I was with the man responsible for everything that was going on—Xander.

Logan couldn’t stop taking shots at him. “Oh, you are so dead, Mr. Smart.”

“Let me get this straight. So after you had declared that you had nothing to do with Xander, you are spotted with him. Do you lie for a living, or are you just trying to piss off Damion?”

“You can’t ask me any questions.” After all, he had been there when everything was falling apart. He could have stepped up to rescue me. “Just take us to the damn palace.”

He did me a favor and kept mute until we got to the palace.

Damion was still in his silk bed, but he looked a lot more worn than when I had last left him.

I stood in front of Damion, counting my toes.

Xander stood beside me. It was a strange mystery how he still handled it all with confidence. Either Damion was feeling merciful, or he was feeding off the fact that he

    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

    Lyra (Mia) POV“You can’t treat me like this. I am the Luna of this pack,” I tried to defend the little dignity I had left.“Are you still talking? Do you want to find out what happens to people who test my patience?”This was the same man who had been sweet to me initially. Which abyss had that caring individual been pushed into?I looked at him, and for a brief moment, something other than rage flashed in his eyes. Just kidding. That was my mind giving me a fantasy to console my cheeks, which throbbed with pain.The last time I had seen so much rage on someone’s face was when Xander had walked in on me with another man. That traitor!Damion’s eyes were even more reddened. It felt like another slap was lined up, so I moved back for my safety. Another one of those would surely cripple me.Don’t get me wrong—I had heard the tales about the great Alpha Damion! How he was fearless in the face of danger and how he slayed anyone who so much as breathed wrong in his path.But I hadn’t met t

    Lyra(Mia) POVSleep eluded me at night. How could I catch any slumber with my stomach growling in protest? Damion had kept his word and hadn't invited me for dinner. I had barely been allowed to leave my room… it's a prison… all evening. This morning I still hadn't heard from him or anyone for that matter. The door was locked from outside and a guard had been stationed to make sure I didn't try anything. Did I try talking to the guard? Yes. I had tried every trick in the book to convince him to open the door. But he was as hard as a rock. He barely answered me. I'm sure even if he had the intention to help me, the fear of Alpha Damion's punishment would not let him. I could barely raise myself from the bed. I was too tired to move myself. What was the use of getting up? There was no life waiting for me. It's not like I was going to get up and head out to fulfill my Luna duties. I was just an item to be used at will. A knock on the door startled me. “Come in.” The guard peeked

    Lyra(Mia) POVMy words seized in my throat as I came face to face with the person I had bumped into. I had expected for it to be a guest that was probably been distracted. “Nyla?” I muttered under my breath in confusion. I wasn't expecting to see her there or anywhere soon for that matter. My nemesis couldn't be standing in front of me right now. Someone tell me that I wasn't staring into the same face that I had been haunting my dreams. My eyes must be playing tricks on me. “Can you watch where you are going?” I asked when I saw her raise her eyebrows. I'm sure she didn't expect me to know her. “I'm sorry I was in a rush. Are you okay?” I gave a simple nod, studying her.Those were those dark eyes all over again. But this time it didn't look back at me with disgust. Its gaze was that of admiration, of respect. Her lips wore a bright smile proudly. She was draped in a pretty dress, her pose filled with poise. Standing before me was my twin sister Nyla. I had thought when she s

    Lyra(Mia’s)POV I can't believe it. I had put so much effort into making sure that he was in good health. I never would have expected that he would play down all of my sacrifices. I was pissed, to say the least. The anger was boiling up, but that didn't take away the fact that I was still thinking about how he was feeling. So much for caring about him. The hospital had gotten toxic for me. I could understand his mother being ungrateful, but I expected more from him. Selling me out like that should have never been an option. I didn't care about the injury on me anymore. Instead of returning to my hotel room, I slipped on a hoodie and headed out of the hospital. I had just made it out of the hospital when I saw a car standing close to the hospital gate. I immediately recognized it as Xander's. It couldn’t have been him… The windows were down, and my biggest fears were confirmed. He stepped out of the car and began walking toward me. “How the hell did you get in here?” I asked, b

    Damion’s POV “Good riddance to bad rubbish!” my mother fumed under her breath as Mia closed the door. She was spiteful. But something about the whole thing made me feel like what just happened was the wrong decision. “But Mother, what you did was too harsh.” “Come off it, Damion . I don't know if that evil woman attempted to use some kind of spell on you while you were asleep. Don't forget she is not looking out for your good.” That didn’t sound right, even to a heartless man like me. If she didn’t care one bit, she wouldn’t have come to watch over me despite her injuries. It was absurd to see that she would put herself in such a position. Logan walked closer after I turned to him. I noticed that beneath the usual excitement he appeared to have, he hesitated, visibly troubled. “Leave!” he instructed the nurse before turning to me after she had left. “What is it?” “Tell me all about what happened.” “You transformed,” Logan began. But my mother wouldn’t let him finish. “Don’

    Damion’s POV Every part of my body was hurting. My legs felt like they were about to split in half anytime soon. Even the slightest movement was sending signals that shot through my nerves, making even breathing a struggle. I could hear a steady beeping sound in the background and the chatter of people. They didn't sound near, but their jumbled discussions were not clear enough. The light hit hard as I slowly lifted my eyelids. It took a couple of seconds and blinks to finally acclimate to the intrusion of light. "Where am I?" I managed to mutter. The answer was before me. All I could see was white—sheets and emptiness. There was no one in sight as far as my eyes could stretch. Sitting up would have given me a better chance to see the room, but my arms felt like a thousand grams were pressing down on them. I decided to lift a finger, but a sharp pain immediately repelled me. The thick smell of antiseptic whipped my nostrils, leading me to let out a sharp sniff. My eyes took i

    Lyra(Mia’s)POVThat was loud enough to wake up anyone who was asleep—that is, if there was a slim chance that anyone would fall into slumber despite the chaos going on. I shut my ears and jumped back as the noise left his lips. My first thought—that he was about to attack—had been debunked, so I moved closer, lifting his hairy face to meet mine. Damion blinked. And for the briefest moment, his red eyes flickered back to gray. My heart leaped in hope that he was coming back. But then a loud horn sounded. I looked back sharply to see Logan at the back end of the loud horn. It was his signal to let me know he was on standby. “No, wait. Don’t fire. He is back to normal,” I yelled out in plea. But my voice fell on deaf ears. “Fire!” he commanded. Immediately, the little darts poked out of the guns and were headed right at us. I heard the grunts but quickly focused on the darts as they blew through the air. They came in from all directions mercilessly. “No,” I screamed as I watched t

    Lyra(Mia’s)POVI should have fled. At that moment, I regretted everything that led me up to this moment. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have made sure to run away as fast as I could. Just looking at those eyes was enough to chase away any atom of conviction I had managed to muster. But there was no turning back—his eyes were locked onto mine. If I made any attempt to move, I would be the best target. “Please, Damion. You need to stop with this madness. You are hurting people. You need to stop.” I made sure to yell at the top of my lungs. But I was even more sure that my message didn't get to him. If anything, it bounced off as soon as it hit his ears. He kept charging forward. The ground chimed as he kept taking heavy steps closer. All he did was inhale as he walked closer. I wasn’t just calling out to him—I had a plan. And it was a great one if he would stick to me. I was hoping to ensure I stuck this blade into his chest. “Damion!” I screamed. “You don’t want

    Lyra(Mia's)POVPeople were getting lesser and lesser by the minute. They had a choice. It was either they are wound up in a pile on the ground at Damion’s feet, or they were fleeing for their loved ones. You wouldn’t wanted to end up on the latter list, but it was hard to get that line of luck when an obvious beast like Damion was on the loose. Fewer people meant that soon enough, I would have his attention on me. “Oh great, you are here,” I heard someone say behind me. I turned to see Damion's mother. She was accompanied by Logan, who looked devastated, to say the least. But that didn’t catch my eye as sharply as the fact that they were both empty-handed. “Did you not get the wolfsbane?” I asked. “Are you blind? Do you see any on me?” His mother barked as she kept her voice low. She didn’t want to be heard by her son. Logan jumped in for the rescue. “There is too much crowd. Everyone is more concerned about getting to safety rather than looking for wolfsbane.” “Maybe if she di

    Lyra(Mia’s)POV The hallway was a mess. Shrieks welcomed me as people were taking to their heels in all directions. I had to take a step back to avoid getting hit by a girl who couldn't bother to watch where she was heading. I couldn't blame her. I had never seen such a pandemonium in my life. “This is crazy,” I muttered aloud. There were marks on the floor and on the walls, and shattered glass lined the floor just where I was about to plant my foot for the next step. The scent of blood hit my body hard, making me shudder. Bodies lay sprawled and scattered across the ground. Some of them were still quivering, fighting to revive the flickering flame of life, while others lay so alarmingly still. The torches lining the hall flickered erratically, casting eerie shadows over the destruction. This had the vast, written all over it. All around the crime scene were Damion’s footprints and claw imprints. Chaos heralded his presence, and devastation stuck around just after he had left. “

    Lyra(Mia's)POV.How dumb of me to think that staying back was the best choice in this situation. You can't blame me for choosing to think that way. After all, I had just gotten on his bad side. Sticking around would have surely warmed his heart. But watching those tattered buds grind wistfully, I was assured that the only thing getting warm was his appetite. And there he was, the perfect man, just eating under debris. As fear-induced demand dictated, I moved back. “What is going on, Alpha Damion?” I knew he was cruel at heart, but I never expected to see him morph into a monster. This was too far for a reaction. Yes, I had been trying to help sneak out Xander from the back after giving him attention, but that didn't mean he should show up with fangs. “You are done for. You and the rest of this pack. Once again, I’ll make sure the young mourn as the whole pack suffers. They’ll crumble under me.” “Where has this come from?” I asked, looking toward the door. I was panicking, but I
