Alpha Damian POV.{ Cresent Moon pack }As soon as I walked into my apartment within the pack area, my heart was filled with less joy and happiness after getting the new about the animal,I was wasted my sperm on.My face Revealed my present look, which drag in question to me, as soon as her face hit mine.Her words were filled with hated towards how Lyra, went up to the new pack and did what she did there.She fought with a beta wolf, despite she knew she was nothing but an Omega wolf, who is truly hated by many and loved by none.As soon as I dropped my bag on the floor, the thud echoing through the silent apartment. My gaze met hers at once, and I could sense the tension radiating from her body. Her eyes narrowed, with a strong gaze at me, scrutinizing my expression, while I also locked my eyes to hers."Damian, what's wrong again?" she asked, her voice laced with concern and seriousness.I sighed at her at her question, running a hand through my hair at same time. "It's the stup
Lyra POV{ Dark Shadow pack }He walked into the cell when almost everyone was fast asleep and wondering about, how there life would be.Myself and Aria slept close to each other after the long discussion we both had, ealier.I felt the feeling of someone passing me by, with cold feet. I opened up my eyes at once gazing at the man at my front." Who are you?" I asked.His voice was so thick and bold, that woke few people around.Aria, stood up same time I stood up from the bare floor with fear of what the man was doing right at my front." What do you want from me?" I pushed him trying to defend myself.He took few steps backward, and looked at me." Who are you?" Aria asked.The stranger's eyes locked onto mine, while I gazed at him with anxiety, his gaze piercing through the dimly lit cell. His features were chiseled, sharp jawline and piercing blue eyes that seemed to see right through me, and that just made me so scared like never before."I'm Guard Thompson," he said, his voice
Lyra POV" What happened?" Aria asked as soon as I got into the cell room." Nothing much," " How can you say that?" She asked.I looked into her eye, giving a nasty look to her.She also gave me a look that shows what I can't just read out." Why that look?" She asked." Aria, please let me be," I said pushing her aside and going to pick up a bench to sit on.As soon as I sat down, the thoughts of the previous event still was familiar in my head and was quite hard for me to forget about that.I sat on the bench, trying to shake off the lingering thoughts of Alpha Dante's touch over me on the previous night.But Aria wouldn't let up with her questions, that made things worse."Lyra, what happened last night?" she pressed, her voice laced with concern and pity.I sighed, running my hands through my hair with confusion on how I could begin to explain myself."Alpha Dante... he kissed me last night," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper to her ears.Aria's eyes widened with shock
Lyra POVIt already few days to the mating ceremony in the pack, and I would be more than pleased to be taken in there, as a guest.I would be love to experience others joy, even though I don't have my own joy to myself.My days in this pack have always been hell for me to enjoy in.I've never had peace for day's." Lyra, so how do you think this mating ceremony would come up?" Aria asked with her eyes locked on mine.I gave a short grin." I've never been to one before, so I don't know yet; but I just pray it happens peacefully and everyone getting there mate's " I gave a sigh as soon as u ended my words.She just gave a nod, in support of my words." You'd atleast know much about mating ceremony, Since you've attended one," I looked into aria eyes." It was a disaster and I don't want to say it, " she faked her smile to me.Aria's fake smile faltered at almost same time, and she looked away, her eyes clouding over. "Let's just say.... it, wasn't what I expected to happen," she said
Damian POV" We all have no choice but to go to the Dark Shadow pack," my Word's were like hitting chaos towards my wife and my son." Damian, that the choice you made for yourself and not for me," my wife said in a voice filled with disagreement." I'm the Alpha..." She cut off my words." You are just the alpha of the pack and not the Alpha of this house," she stood up giving me a gaze that wasn't friendly." Hey, you!" I turned to my son who gave less talk to me and his mother." I think you rejected, Lyra, so why are you interested in her now?" He asked." Why must you always say that word?" I asked."Which word?" my son, Ryder asked, his eyes sparkling with defiance toward me."Rejected," I growled, feeling a pang of guilt wash over me.Ryder shrugged. "It's the truth, Alpha. You rejected Lyra, and now you want to drag us to the Dark Shadow pack because of her."My wife, stepped forward, her voice firm and calm. "Damian, explain to me and our son why we need to go to the Dark S
Lyra POV" Morning, Aria," I gave a quick stretch as soon as I woke up.My eye were fully blur,which made me to use my arms to clear it out.After a deep inhale and exhale.I turned over, to see Aria, but no one was in her sleeping spot.At first, I just felt relaxed and think otherwise, but as time passed by she was quite no way to be found.I wasn't just relaxed at all and it was eating me up.I walked up to one of the other captive's." Sorry, have you seen Aria," I asked with a smile." No," the man replied with a rude look.I asked the next, and then I asked so much people and my sadness was visible.My mood immediately changed, with sadness eating me up.When u thought I already had a Friend that I can take as a sister, then someone came up and took her away from me.I sat down there with thought, as the voice from outside caught me ." Lyra, come here," I just tried ignoring the words at first and turn away, but it quite wasn't working." You bastard, I am talking to you," i fe
Lyra POVI sat in the cold, damp corner of the cell, knees pulled to my chest, the walls around me closing in tighter by the hour. My body ached from the transformation, the painful reminder of my failure—rejected by my family and pack and left to rot in this godforsaken prison I was sold too. The air was thick with lot's of despair, and I had almost forgotten what it felt like to hope for anything beyond survival.The door creaked open, and a young guard stepped in. He was looking new, barely in his twenties, but there was something unsettling about the way he looked at me, his blue eyes flickering with something that made my skin crawl and inch for answers."You have a visitor, Lyra," he said, his voice too calm for someone standing before a prisoner.I tensed, my eyes narrowing with the Word's. "A visitor for myself?Who would come for me now?" I asked myself, still giving him a stinging look.The pack had disowned me already. My family had cast me aside. No one cared whether I
Lyra POVI paced the narrow space of my cell, the dream from last night still clinging to me like a shadow I couldn’t shake off. The cold, stone walls did nothing to calm my nerves, and my wolf was restless, prowling beneath my skin, sensing something was coming forth for me, but still can't explain what it was. The guard opened the door with a loud clank, pulling me from my thoughts. “You have visitors,” he said, the same disinterested tone as before in the dream.I didn’t have to ask who it was this time. There was only one person who would bother visiting me in this cell at this time.Alpha Damian, my father who was never met to be mine. He always found a way to remind me of my failures, of the expectations I couldn’t meet up with anything the pack needed. And if he was here, that meant she was with him as always.I straightened as Alpha Damian entered, his broad frame filling the room with an authoritative presence. His dark eyes, the same as mine, scanned the cell with disda
Chapter Twelve: Shadows of the PastCrystal point of viewI barely slept that night, my mind racing with everything that had happened. Orin’s attack had left a scar—not just on my body but on my soul. Every time I closed my eyes, I could feel the shard’s darkness lingering, a shadow waiting to consume me. It was a chilling reminder of how close I had come to losing control.As the first light of dawn filtered through the trees, I forced myself to get up. The pack was already stirring, preparing for the day ahead. I could hear the low murmur of voices, the shuffle of feet as they moved about the camp. They were watching me now, but it was different. There was a new tension in the air, a mix of respect and fear that hadn’t been there before.I walked outside, the cool morning breeze brushing against my skin. Dante, Ezra, and Ryan were already awake, talking quietly near the edge of the camp. They looked up as I approached, their expressions unreadable.“Morning,” I said, trying to sound
Chapter Eleven: AwakeningCrystal point of viewThe darkness was suffocating, a heavy weight pressing down on me, pinning me to the ground, making me feel pressured. My mind and body struggled to fight through it, but it felt endless and meaningless—cold, empty, and filled with whispers I couldn’t understand. Somewhere, deep in the void, I could hear voices calling my name, but they were distant, muffled by the shadows swirling around me.Then, suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my chest, jolting me back to reality. My eyes flew open, and I gasped for air, my lungs burning as I choked on the cold night air. I was on the ground, lying in the clearing where the battle had taken place. Everything was a blur, but slowly, I began to focus. The pain in my chest was intense, and I instinctively reached for it, only to find the dark shard that Orin had stabbed me with still embedded there, pulsing with an unnatural energy.I tried to pull it out, but the moment I touched it, a searing pain s
Chapter Ten: Betrayal in the Shadows.The howl rang out, cutting through the night like a blade. My blood ran cold as I recognized it—Cole’s rallying cry.“Cole’s coming back,” Dante said, his voice low and dangerous as his wolf senses sharpened. His posture was tense, ready for battle.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. My heart raced, not from fear but from the anticipation of what I knew was coming. Cole wasn’t going to accept my ascension quietly. He’d rally whoever he could and challenge me head-on. But what unnerved me wasn’t just his impending attack. It was that haunting howl, the unmistakable call for war.“Crystal, stay close to us,” Ryan said, his eyes scanning the treeline. Ezra stepped forward, positioning himself in front of me.“He’s not alone,” Dante muttered, his voice grim.I could feel the tension ripple through the pack as they all turned their attention to the trees. Shadows flickered, and suddenly, from the forest’s edge, Cole emerged, flanked by a do
Chapter Nine: A Queen’s CommandThe pack knelt before me, the tension hanging thick in the air. I could hardly believe it. Me? Their Queen?The words sounded foreign in my mind, yet the power still hummed beneath my skin, undeniable.Dante stepped closer, his voice low but firm. “Crystal, you need to speak. Show them who you are.”I swallowed hard, glancing at the wolves who had once mocked and banished me. Now, they were kneeling, their heads lowered in submission. My hands clenched at my sides, unsure of what to say, but Dante’s presence grounded me. This wasn’t about them anymore. This was about me stepping into what I was destined for.I took a deep breath. “Rise,” I commanded, my voice stronger than I expected.The pack hesitated, exchanging nervous glances before they obeyed. Slowly, they stood, keeping their heads low, refusing to meet my gaze. The weight of their submission pressed against me, but I wasn’t going to let it crush me.Cole, still on one knee, finally stood as wel
Chapter Eight: Bonds of BloodCrystal point of viewThe moment the wave of power exploded from me, everything around us seemed to freeze in the thin air. The harsh light from my energy bathed the forest in an eerie glow, and I could hear nothing but the faint crackle of power still coursing through me like a river flowing water. For the first time, the wolves hesitated. Their snarls were replaced with uncertainty, their eyes wide with something I hadn’t seen before or even gotten from them before;fear.They were scared of me already.Alpha Dante, Beta Ezra, and Gamma Ryan stood by my side, their eyes glowing with intensity and low Word's to me. Their whole presence was more than just comforting to me, it was empowering. Dante’s towering frame exuded dominance, his muscles rippling beneath his skin as he prepared for the next attack even if the opposing team isn't ready to do that. Ezra was sharp like sword, his eyes constantly scanning for any movement, calculating the next step
Chapter Seven: The ChaseCrystal point of viewThe night was alive with tension, every shadow stretching long and ominous under the cold moonlight. Alpha’s words echoed in my mind like a bell. "The pack won’t wait long before they strike again.”He was right about those words. There was no time to rest, no time to gather my thoughts together. The pack was out for blood, and I was their target and there pawn in there big game.“We have to leave now,” Alpha said, his voice low but firm and controlling. The other men were already moving, preparing for what was to come up next. “They’ll come in full force, and next time, they’ll be better prepared to fight for themselves.”I nodded, my heart still racing from the confrontation. My mind was spinning unstop, but my body felt much alive, buzzing with the energy I had only just started to understand. I was ready, more than ready than I had ever been. But the fear was still hanging in there, lurking under the surface. This power, this destin
Chapter Six: The First BattleCrystal POVThe howls grew louder, closer, as the pack approached to my standing position. My heart pounded, my grip tightening on the silver dagger. I stood beside Alpha and his brothers, their presence grounding me as the power inside me pulsed up at once, almost eager to be unleashed."Remember, Crystal," Alpha said quietly, his voice low and controlled, distracting me of my Concentration. "You don't need to fear your power. Let it flow. Let it guide you on what to do."I nodded, my breath shallow. It was easier said than done.I had never had power or a wolf, never been in control of anything since my first day on earth. How was I supposed to wield something so raw, so dangerous, when I didn’t even understand how it works.The courtyard was bathed in moonlight, casting eerie shadows on the stone walls on us. The main tension in the air was electric, thick with anticipation. My ears picked up the rustling of footsteps—lots of them—closing in fas
Chapter Five: The AwakeningCrystal POVThe weight of his words hung high in the air, suffocating and impossible to escape. Is still not possible that I was The Lycan Queen.Me, of all whole wolves in the pack.It didn’t make any sense to me. None of it made equal sense to me. I couldn’t be some legendary ruler of the pack that hated me. I was barely surviving in this pack, bullied, ignored, and forgotten.But the look in the man with gray eyes told me he wasn’t joking. He truly believed it. And worse, there was a part of me, deep, deep inside, that wondered if it might be true or just a mere Story.“No,” I whispered, shaking my head, backing away from him, slowly. “I can’t just be.”“You are, Crysta,” he said firmly, his voice unwavering. “It’s in your blood, in your bones,in your flesh. You’ve felt it, haven’t you? The pull, the power? It’s been waiting for you to wake up.”I backed up until I hit the stone wall behind of me. My heart was pounding, my mind spinning with an
Chapter Four: Questions Without AnswersCrystal POVThe threemen’s words haunted me for days. “Afraid of what you might become.” What was I supposed to become in a pack when I am low classed? How could I be someone or something that people would fear? It didn’t make any sense to my own hearing. I was totally nothing in this new pack. Just a nobody wolf that everyone either ignored or despised.But now? Now they looked at me with suspicion, that was totally unreadable. Even more than before. The confrontation in the hallway had been the tipping point. The pack knew something was going on between we four, even if they couldn’t quite figure it out by themselves. And neither couldn't.*****A few days had passed since the incident with Cole and his lackeys, but the tension within the pack was thicker than ever and the tension was there was also high. The whispers had intensified, rumors swirling around me like a dark storm of the day. It just felt as if, everyone was watching me,
