Clutching his shirt, I pull him closer, and he smirks, well aware of the effect he has on me. The wetness in my core intensifies with his touch. His overpowering scent and minty breath envelop me. Then he whispers, "Lyra if I slip my finger inside you, I swear you are dripping wet for me. And you say you hate me?" That is the breaking point. Summoning all my strength, I push him away forcefully, slipping out of his grasp. ........................ Lyra runs away when falsely accused of poisoning the Alpha Tristan.

View MoreLyra's POV The mating ceremony was done and dusted. It was a fulfilling experience, with dignitaries from various packs from all around the world in attendance. I never knew Kessler was so prominent until the mating ceremony. He is a freaking amazing billionaire, with his wealth spread across the werewolf and human worlds. He owns chains of hotels, nightclubs, and restaurants. I joked with him that he would have to take me to one of his clubs. But I was surprised when he said I'd been to one of his clubs before. Then, he told me that it was the club after I saw the headlines of him and Annie getting engaged. We had fulfilled the part of the mating ceremony, and his mark now is sitting pretty on my neck as his Luna and mate. I don't think I can get enough of this feeling. It's like the marking brings another fresh spark to whatever we had before now. This time around, it wasn't forced, unlike the first. With each passing day, I find myself drawn closer to Kessler, discovering a
Lyra’s POV It is a relief that I finally gave birth. Seeing Atticus has brought nothing but joy. It's a feeling I can't explain; he makes me feel whole again. Each time I look at him, I'm in awe and filled with adoration. I'm a mother, and the moon goddess blessed me with a child I least expected. Raising a family never occurred to me, but having him in my arms each day makes it feel surreal. Kessler has been a doting father, and he's working hard to bring us back together. He's proven time and time again that we are his priority. But sometimes, I feel like I'm not ready for the big step of being a Luna, even though I know I was born for it. The mating ceremony is set for the next full moon. I can feel Sasha again, and the antidote to the elixir was given to me, suppressing whatever damage the elixir had done. As the date of the mating ceremony draws closer, I know that stepping into the role of Luna is my destiny. It's a responsibility I was born for, and I feel a sense of pri
"Lyra was fine before I left the pack. What could have happened in the couple of hours that I was away? I needed to find out, so I followed Cara. Soon, we arrived at the pack hospital. Daniel rushed over to me. "Is everything okay with Lyra?" I asked him. "Lyra is in labor, and the midwives are taking care of her," he said, reassuring me. Without hesitation, I hurried in the direction he pointed. I could hear a muffled scream coming from the room.” "I know it's Lyra. She's in pain, and I feel helpless. Another scream escapes her, and I can't bear it any longer. I step in. Surprisingly, no one stops me or asks me to step aside. I go straight to her, kneel to be at her level, and grasp her hand. She turns her face toward me, and I see the bravery in her eyes, trying not to scream as the midwife attends to her. The pain seems to come in waves because the midwife instructs her to push whenever she feels a contraction.” Lyra clenches my hand tightly as another wave of pain washes ov
I left Lyra in her room while I went back to mine to change into something simple. I can sense Zach's impatience through another mind link."I'll join you shortly," I convey through the mind link, adding, "I just had to make sure Lyra was okay.""Okay," is all he responds as I sever the link.Stepping out of my room, I head to the training ground where the pack warriors are already assembled. I can almost feel Jack's surprise when I confront him.Since Jack's case has been reported to the High Council, it's not just my responsibility to handle it; it concerns all the neighboring packs.They had pledged backup to help bring him down.That's where we had planned to gather. I can see fear in Jack's eyes; he never anticipated the number of warriors uniting against him.From all directions, warriors from different packs are poised to take him down and put an end to his reign of terror over the surrounding parklands.But he quickly tried to cover it up by taunting me, saying, "Good to see yo
Kessler's POVI don't like it when Lyra stays mad at me. I didn't know she was going to take the role of the godmother to Annie's baby. I had my doubts, judging from what Annie had done to her.So I had to follow her to her room to be sure she'd stop being mad at me. When she complained about her leg, all I wanted was to massage her legs and make her feel better.Her moan makes my member twitch in my trousers; I can sense she wants me. There's no doubt I want her, but I want my time with Lyra to be special again.Dang, I can't think straight when I catch a whiff of her arousal. With hurried steps, she heads into the bathroom.I could tell she was embarrassed; she took her time in the bathroom. But when she stepped out in her towel, all I wanted was to take her right there and make her scream my name.I noticed she was at a loss for words; I guess she wasn't expecting me to still be in the room. I need to take control of my emotions; I want her as much as she wants me.With a smirk on m
Lyra POVWhen Kessler called me "Sunshine" and mentioned there was something else, my curiosity piqued. I could sense his uncertainty, but I leaned in, asking, "What is it?""I know she did many things to you that she wasn't proud of, she said it before she passed away—she couldn't look into your eyes and ask for forgiveness."I nodded slowly, trying to grasp the significance of Kessler's words and where he was leading this conversation."Annie wants us to be the godparents to her baby," Kessler said hurriedly as if the words were burning on his tongue.I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across my face. Playfully, I smacked him on the chest and teased, "Is that what was taking you forever to say?"Kessler chuckled, a weight lifted off his shoulders. "Yes, I wanted to make sure you were okay with it." "Of course," I replied with sincerity. "We'll be great godparents. But you hurt my feelings, Kessler, for thinking that I would say no to being the godmother
Kessler’s POV With hurried steps, we made our way to the pack hospital. I wonder what might have gone wrong for my attention to be needed at the hospital, but I was grateful that Lyra was right by my side. The thought of anything happening to Lyra filled me with dread as I remembered what had happened in her room. As we approached the hospital, my heart raced with worry. The memory of finding Lyra in distress in her room flashed through my mind. It's a relief that Lyra was able to control her powers without harming the baby. Ryder must have taken advantage of the situation, knowing we were all focused on Annie's well-being. I wondered if there was a connection between Ryder's actions and Annie's condition. Regardless, I made a mental note to investigate the matter swiftly. The safety and security of our pack were important and we needed to uncover the truth to protect everyone. Many serious issues have happened within my pack, and I can no longer afford to overlook them. We arr
Kessler holds me close as if I mean the world to him. His scent is comforting. "Please, get me water," I tell him as he stands up, goes to the kitchen, and brings back a bottle of water. I sit up and look at Ryder, realizing he is almost lifeless on the floor. I guess it's the impact of the syringe he brought to inject me. I rushed to Ryder's side. My heart races as I check for signs of life, hoping for any flicker of movement. "Ryder, can you hear me?" I whisper, my voice trembling with worry. Fear grips me as I realize I could have been almost lifeless like him, and I doubt I would survive it. I can't begin to imagine the trauma that would follow. Someone wants me dead for sure, and now I don't think Ryder can say anything to reveal who sent him. I was consumed with worry, but my thoughts turned to Julie. How would she handle the revelation that her mate is not who she believes him to be? Just then, Kessler walked in with the bottle of water in hand and handed it to me. "Thank
I was tired and I had to put my clothes back on, wondering who it could be, dragging myself to the door. I opened it and lo I was shocked to realize that it was no other than Ryder, I know I had just thought about him not being a good guy, but he just confirmed my suspicion by coming to my room. "What do you want?" I ask politely, trying my best not to be rude, but inside, I'm seriously annoyed. He smirks and pushes the door open, making his way inside without waiting for an invitation. I stand there, my annoyance growing as Ryder enters without any regard for my privacy or invitation. "I just wanted to talk," he says casually as if his intrusion is perfectly acceptable. "Well, I don't feel like talking right now," I reply curtly, crossing my arms over my chest. Ryder shrugs nonchalantly, unfazed by my obvious discomfort. "Suit yourself," he says, moving further into the room as if he owns it. I grit my teeth, feeling my patience wearing thin. "You need to leave," I say firmly
