Lyra’s pov.A faint call pulled me from nowhere, not that I couldn't explain where I was, it was just dark. Dark and nothing. The still voice called again. I couldn't feel the ground anymore, it felt like zero gravity and the silence was deafening. I headed towards the call and took a step forward. With each step, I felt her head churn. I remembered how i got there but not where I was. It was at that bar. The pain increased with each step and I nearly fell back into the darkness. Moving closer a faint light shone on me, with a beautiful wolf piercing me with his looks.I reached out to him, it was the most logical thing I could do at that point. My hand, phasing through his being made me realize that I was part of a vision, a dream, a trance perhaps. But none of the things happening around me happened to be real.I saw myself walking towards him, I could tell that I was scared as I approached him but I just couldn't stay away from him either. I moved closer to him, and with each s
Xavier's povShe was white. I was losing my mind and I don't know why. I knew my inner wolf, Ozed had something to do with this. At least he knew something about it.About who this girl was, why he didn't sit right with her, and more importantly why she was on the verge of dying.“What do we do about this, she's freaking white” I said.“I had no idea you'd know who she is talk more of being crazy” Rune responded.The irony of the whole event unfolding here made me want to go wild and release all the rage in me.I demanded a woman to calm my nerves and look at what the universe throws to my face.The woman who set my nerves on fire from the very start.I have never felt this way for a lady in the past century. My humanity felt sorry for the crazy young lady as she lay in bed. Naked.I gulped so loud and I guess Rune noticed. I just had a few minutes with her at the bar although I pretended not to care yet those few minutes with her were able to burn out all the cares I had in the wo
Rune’s povEverything was happening so fast.Lyra ran out of the house, I could not follow her as the tracking spell had worn off and all I had was following her in my astral form.She seemed scared and the reason soon presented itself.Not quite long after she zoomed off, a convoy of three trucks drove in, bearing several weapons.I identified some rogues and wanted criminals in their company. I moved closer to identify as many as I could till a wizard sensed my presence."Etherea dissolvimus, forma astralis, absolve!"That was the last thing I could remember hearing.The spell hit my face before I could even react and I was flying back to my body.Like lightning, I was back in my own body. It took a while to get comfortable in my skin, but when I did, I wasted no time relaying my reports.“She's in danger, she's being tracked by rouges, and I barely escaped being hit with a spell…” I uttered before I noticed the effect that report had on him.But my attention was drawn back by th
Luca’s POV“This had better not be a prank!, you what this means and the punishment if it's false,” I said over the phone. I got a call from one of my men telling me that my brother, Xavier was spotted. “Very well then. Keep an eye on him,"“Nikolai!” I called out my wingman immediately I dropped the phone. Just then another call came into Nikolai's phone. "Permit me to pick the call my lord,” Nikolai requested and I nodded in affirmation. Not long after, he dropped the call. “It was a call about a lone wolf. It was from another wolf and yet what was most intriguing about the whole thing was that this caller had demanded no commissions.” Nikolai said with a smirk. I was skeptical at first but it won't hurt to take those dogs for a walk. We take lone wolves in as a servant for our pack but if they are lucky enough, they might be mated to one of us. I turned to the nearest man, “Get the dogs and go, we have a lone wolf out of its cage,”“We have no dogs,” a voice said from behind
Xavier's pov.I still was not satisfied with the report I received from Rune. I just felt drawn to Lyra. I needed to be there.Rune who had teleported away was yet to return.He was my eyes and ears outside of this place.I wasn't ready to face my people, my brother, but I was willing to try, and most especially, for Lyra.Rune returned but it was with a more dramatic light show than he left.“That will teach that lout not to double-cross me,” he said as he walked up to the wine cabinet.“Spells and magic have taken a whole lot out of me today, please let us rest,” Rune said to me. “You should also have a shot yourself, you look like a drenched wolf cub,” he added. I looked at him and chuckled, my next news was going to send him into a frenzy, a very wild one at that. “Drink up and rest and do that quickly. We're heading to the Darkmoon manor at once,”And just as expected, he gave a dramatic show.He spat the drink from his mouth and choked on his tongue.“What do you mean we are
Rune’s povIt felt good getting back at that wizard. Something about it felt wrong especially the way he was looking at Lyra with fear evident on his face but I didn't care. If not for anything I used Lyra as my consolation. He almost drained her soul from her body. He deserved worse for using such spells on another living being especially when he was not being attacked. Lyra was helpless and yet he used spells with the power to inflict excruciating pain on its victims.I was back at the residence with Xavier, and he was looking like a drenched puppy. I offered him a shot of vodka as I was having several shots too. “You should have a shot yourself, you look like a drenched wolf cub,” I poked at him. He was always an easy tease. He took it well and he chuckled in response to my teasing. Or so I thought.The words that came out of his mouth threw me into a frenzy.“Drink up,” he let out, “Rest and do that quickly, we're heading to the Darkmoon manor at once,”It took me a while
Lyra's povI walked up to the door with thoughts and questions raging in my head. I still don't see how I got here. None of this was my fault. I turned to make one last plea. I was ready to take the blame. I just needed my mother in these hard times, heck, who was I going to tell of my ordeal with that wild earlier? “Mother please, we don't have to do this, not again” I pleaded.“Mother please, just listen to me,”“I have no daughter,” she responded as she grabbed the phone and dialed some numbers.I knew what that meant at this point. Rejected by my mate, and rejected by my mother.I became a lone wolf, easy prey, and my first predator.My mom had them on the line.Giving them every bit of information and descriptions about me, down to the last button on my shirt.I ran out through the front door, all the way to the back, and leaped over the fence. I had run a reasonable distance before I heard howls and saw bright lights coming from the direction of my mother's place.I ran int
Lyra's pov What was happening to me?Why are these visions and most importantly why do they look like they are coming to pass? Why do these premonitions seem so real?Rune was oblivious to what was happening to me. I looked at every object and every person carefully to see if I could trigger something to further prove or disprove that what I saw earlier today was real.Nothing was helping, nothing clicked and nothing most definitely rang a single bell.“Almost there now,” Rune announced.I expected the best honestly but something would not let that premonition go. Not like it had ever mattered or happened before, save that one time. But even then, it didn't seem like it happened in real-time.The decor from the moment Rune announced changed.The hallway was a masterclass in elegance and refinement, a symphony of opulence that unfolds with each step. My gaze was first drawn to the soaring ceiling, adorned with intricate moldings and gilded details that shimmered in the soft light.
