Reborn to Defy Fate 177. What the Moon Gave Us
LyraI wake to quiet. Not the fragile kind that once made my heart race, waiting for screams or alarms, but a living quiet. The sort that breathes with you. The kind that hums softly through the walls, through the land, through my bones.Morning light spills through the tall windows of our chamber, pale gold and warm. It touches the stone floors, the carved beams, the low table where flowers from the eastern meadow rest in a simple bowl. Wildflowers. They grow again now.For a long time, I simply lie there, listening.Killian sleeps beside me, his breath deep and even, one arm heavy around my waist as if his body still remembers the fear of losing me. His scars, those that remained even after healing, catch the light faintly. Proof that this peace was not given freely.I trace a finger along his wrist, down to where our bond hums, steady, no longer screaming or strained. Whole. We are whole.When he stirs, his eyes open slowly, unfocused at first, then soft when they find me.“You’re
Reborn to Defy Fate 176. A New Throne
LyraThe night the realms bowed was not loud with thunder, nor torn open by fire. It was quiet.Sacred.The moon hung full and unblinking above the ancient clearing, its silver light spilling over stone and root, crown and claw alike. Torches burned low around the council ring, their flames steady, as if even fire understood this was a moment meant to endure.I stood at the heart of it all since I had already been recognized as the Alpha King since the night I rid the world of Alpha Leo and his dark minions.I didn't stand on a dais nor on a throne carved of gold.I stood just on bare earth beneath my feet. The land had asked for no distance between us. Around me gathered the representatives of every realm that still breathed beneath the sky.Wolves; alphas and betas from packs once divided by bloodshed and pride, now stood shoulder to shoulder, their gazes sharp but no longer hostile. Their scents filled the air: iron, pine, loyalty, grief, hope.Witches came next, cloaked in sigils
Reborn to Defy Fate 175. Rise of the Queen
KillianI felt her slipping long before the world went quiet. Not fading, no.Lyra has never faded. She was falling.The sky above the ruined clearing fractured into streaks of silver and ash, lightning frozen mid-tear like the gods themselves had forgotten how to breathe. Varkar’s body lay broken at the heart of the battlefield, his ancient form unraveling into smoke and bone, his scream still echoing between realms.But victory tasted like blood.Lyra knelt at the center of it all, her hands pressed to the scorched earth, head bowed, power pouring out of her in waves that made the ground tremble. Magic screamed around her; wild, ancient and unbound. It tore through the veil between worlds like claws through flesh.“Lyra,” I rasped, staggering toward her.Every instinct I had, Alpha, wolf and mate, was howling. This wasn’t the price of battle. This was the price of ending a cycle.I reached her just as her shoulders shuddered. Her breath hitched once. Then again, and then… nothing.“
Reborn to Defy Fate 174. Team Work
KillianThe bond screamed before the horns ever sounded.It wasn’t pain at first, no, it was absence. A sharp, hollow yank, like someone had torn a living thread straight out of my chest and left nothing but air where Lyra had been. I staggered mid-step, my vision blurring, my wolf slamming against my ribs with a snarl that shook bone.Lyra.I turned just in time to feel it fully. Her fear. Her magic flaring wild. And then… movement. Not running. Not fleeing.Taken.The world snapped into command.“Seal the inner wards!” I roared, my voice carrying across the pack grounds like thunder. “Luca, evacuation protocol, now. Tier One and Two to the secret domain. No delays. No questions.”The horns blared, deep and ancient, echoing through the stone and forest alike. Wolves froze for half a heartbeat, and then moved. Warriors shifted mid-stride. Mothers grabbed children. Elders were lifted without protest. This wasn’t panic. This was training meeting terror.I felt her again then, Lyra’s mag
Reborn to Defy Fate 173. Shadow Crown: the Final Blow
LyraThe Shadow World does not welcome me. It recoils.The ground beneath my bare feet ripples like disturbed water, darkness pulling away from my touch as if I am a wound in its skin. The sky above is not a sky at all, no stars, no moon, only a vast, breathing canopy of shadow, threaded with slow-moving veins of violet light.I feel Killian before I hear him. Not his voice. Not his body.His heart. It beats inside me, steady and fierce, a living anchor tethering me to a world I can no longer see.You shouldn’t be here, the bond whispers, not fear, not doubt, but certainty. And neither should I be without you, I answer.Killian stands at the threshold between realms, his body barred from crossing, his spirit straining so hard against the bond that it burns. The Shadow World will not allow him in. Alphas were never meant to walk this place. This battlefield belongs to witches, gods, and monsters born before language.And yet, he is with me.I can feel his hands shaking. His jaw clenche
Reborn to Defy Fate 172. The Queen of Nothingness
LyraThe first thing Varkar does is laugh at my misery.Not with sound, no. Sound would have been merciful. His laughter is pressure. It bends the air, crushes the ground beneath my feet, makes the moon itself flicker like a frightened thing. The trees around the clearing bow as if in worship, their leaves shriveling mid-breath.I stagger, boots digging into scorched earth, and raise my hands instinctively. Power answers. It always does now.Too easily.Varkar looms before me now, vast and half-formed, as if reality itself cannot decide what shape he should take. His body is smoke and bone and shadow-fire, ribs visible through a chest that burns black at the seams. One horn curls like a broken crown; the other fractures into nothingness before reforming again.He looks… ancient. Older than the packs. Older than the gods who pretend not to remember him.“So,” he says, voice layered, a thousand throats speaking as one. “This is the little witch who drank from the abyss. The abomination
Reborn to Defy Fate 6. Games We Play
KillianThe ballroom glowed with warmth and music, filled with laughter and clinking glasses. Wolves danced, drank, and celebrated like it was the last night on earth.And yet, I felt nothing. The night was supposed to be me choosing my mate, my Luna, but how could I when the one person I wanted di
Reborn to Defy Fate 5. Shattered Chances
LyraHis body was so close to mine that I could barely think.The heat from him rolled off in waves as he loomed over me, his hands braced on the wall beside my head. The music from the Luna choosing ceremony party was just a faint thrum in the background now, as though the world had narrowed down
Reborn to Defy Fate 4. I Want You
“I can't believe you are here, Ayana." I squealed, hugging the girl in my arms.“Come on Lyra, you will squish me into a ball if you keep this up. You have been hugging me the whole day." Ayana complained with a pout and I smiled.Ayana was my best friend before Selene came along. A year before my
Reborn to Defy Fate 3. Taking Back Mine
“What the hell was that about, Lyra?” Selene yelled from behind me as she hastened her steps to catch up with me. I turned around, my anger simmering but I masked it with indifference."What was what about?” I queried back with a frown.“Why did you turn down Damon's proposal? You made him look li
