The alphas dead mate
Everyone believes Lyra Ashwood died nineteen years ago.
Raised as an orphan with no family, no pack, and no knowledge of her past, Lyra travels to the Moon Temple expecting nothing more than an ordinary blessing. Instead, the Moon Goddess chooses her as the fated mate of the most powerful Alpha in the Seven Packs—Kael Blackthorn.
But the bond exposes a secret that was buried long ago.
A forgotten royal crest awakens on Lyra's neck, revealing that she is the lost Moon Queen everyone believed was dead. Before the truth can be uncovered, an assassin strikes, old enemies emerge from the shadows, and every pack begins hunting the woman who was never supposed to return.
Bound to a mate who refuses to trust her, surrounded by betrayal, and haunted by a past she cannot remember, Lyra must uncover who stole her life nineteen years ago before history repeats itself.
In a kingdom where love is a weapon, loyalty is bought with blood, and every Alpha has something to hide, surviving the mate bond may be far more dangerous than finding it.

Chapter: Shadows among wolves The laughter inside the Great Hall slowly returned. Musicians resumed playing. Goblets clinked. Servants moved between the tables, refilling cups and replacing empty platters. To everyone else, the interruption had passed. Only three people remained uneasy. Lyra. Kael. And Lady Selene. Kael's eyes never left the stone pillar Lyra had pointed toward. Nothing. No movement. No shadow. No hooded figure. Yet the uneasy feeling twisting inside his chest refused to disappear. His instincts had saved his life too many times to ignore them now. Without drawing attention, he looked toward Rowan. The captain immediately understood. A tiny nod. That was all it took. Rowan quietly excused himself from the table and disappeared into the crowd without a single noble noticing. Lyra watched him leave. "He's searching, isn't he?" she asked quietly. Kael didn't deny it. "You saw someone." "I know what I saw." "I believe you." She looked at him in s

Chapter: A table of wolves The evening bells echoed across Blackthorn Keep. Their deep, steady chimes rolled through every corridor and courtyard, announcing the evening meal. In the Moon Wing, Lyra stood motionless before the tall window. Outside, snow drifted gently across the mountains, turning the fortress into a sea of silver and white. Below, servants hurried between buildings carrying lanterns that glowed warmly against the growing darkness. Everything looked peaceful. Too peaceful. It was hard to believe that only hours earlier, someone had tried to kill her inside the Moon Temple. Her reflection stared back at her from the glass. She barely recognized the girl looking back. No patched cloak. No worn leather boots. No windblown hair. Instead, she wore a simple sapphire-blue gown that flowed to her ankles. Silver embroidery shimmered along the sleeves like tiny stars. Her dark hair had been brushed smooth and tied back neatly with a matching ribbon. She looked... Different.

Chapter: whispers in the keepThe Moon Wing fell silent the moment Alpha Kael closed the doors behind him.The echo of his footsteps faded down the corridor until Lyra could no longer hear them.She was alone.Completely alone.Slowly, she turned back toward the room.It was unlike anything she had ever imagined.The fireplace was carved from white marble, its mantel decorated with wolves chasing the moon through flowering vines. Tall bookshelves lined one wall, each shelf packed with leather-bound books that looked too old to touch. Silver curtains framed the towering windows, and beyond them, snow drifted gently over the mountains surrounding Blackthorn Keep.The room was beautiful.Too beautiful.Lyra walked carefully across the polished floor, almost afraid her worn boots would leave marks.She stopped before the ruined portrait hanging above the fireplace.The silver frame gleamed despite its age.The painting inside was another story.Someone had destroyed it.The woman's face had been slashed beyond recogni

Chapter: The moon wingThe Council Hall remained silent long after Alpha Kael's words settled over the room."My decision is final."No one dared challenge him.Not after that.The declaration echoed against the towering stone pillars before fading into an uneasy silence.Lyra stood near the entrance, suddenly aware of every pair of eyes fixed on her.Some were curious.Some fearful.Others openly resentful.She lowered her gaze.The feeling was painfully familiar.At Grey Hollow, people whispered because she was without a lone wolfHere, they whispered because she might not be.The elderly councilor slowly lowered himself back into his seat, his weathered face unreadable."So be it."His voice carried through the chamber."But remember this, Alpha."His sharp eyes shifted toward Lyra."If this girl brings ruin upon Blackthorn... history will remember who welcomed her inside."The warning lingered in the room.Kael gave no reply.Instead, he turned."Come."Lyra hesitated only a moment before following him.

Chapter: Blackthorn keepThe temple bells refused to fall silent.Their relentless toll rolled across the mountains, each strike echoing farther than the last until it seemed the entire kingdom could hear them.Not a blessing.A warning.Outside the Moon Temple, wolves rushed through the courtyards with drawn weapons. Messengers mounted waiting horses, their cloaks snapping violently in the cold wind as they rode toward the territories of the Seven Great Packs.Within hours, every Alpha would know.The Moon Goddess had chosen.The Royal Moon Crest had returned.And an assassin had struck inside sacred ground.Inside the temple, the once-orderly ceremony had dissolved into controlled chaos.Families clung together, ushered toward the side exits by anxious priests.Lyra stood exactly where she had been since the bells first changed.She couldn't make herself move.Her fingers drifted unconsciously to the back of her neck.The skin there was warm.No...Hot.Not painful, but alive.As though the crest hidden ben

Chapter: under blackthorn protectionThe temple bells continued to ring.Their frantic toll echoed across the mountains. _Dong. Dong. Dong._ Fast and sharp and wrong. It wasn’t the blessing toll. That one was slow. Deep. Reverent. This was warning. The sound rolled down the slopes and into the valleys. It warned every wolf within miles that something had gone terribly wrong. In the villages below, mothers pulled children inside. In the forests, hunting parties stopped and lifted their heads. In the seven Pack territories, Alphas would be hearing it now.Inside the Moon Temple, chaos threatened to spill over.It was in the way people moved. Too fast. Too sharp. The way voices rose half an octave. The way no one was looking at each other in the eyes anymore."Seal every entrance!" one captain shouted. His voice cracked on the last word. "No one leaves!"Blackthorn guards rushed toward the massive silver doors. Their boots were loud on the marble. They moved in pairs, checking each handle, each lock. The doors were anci
