Lyra

The entire arena erupted instantly.

“What?!”

“She stole it?”

“I knew something felt suspicious!”

The loud whispers hit me all at once.

My mind went blank for a second.

What? My wardrobe?

I stared at Freya in disbelief.

And in that moment, I saw it clearly.

The slight pause before her words… the way her voice trembled, but her eyes didn’t match the fear she was pretending to feel. Even her tears looked delayed, like they were being forced to fall. Nothing about it felt real.

    Kael"This is totally unacceptable!"Beta Jasper slammed his palm so hard against the long oak table. His face was flushed with rage, veins bulging along his neck as he glared directly at me."I still don't understand how our Gamma of IronClaw Pack suddenly died in just one night," he roared. "He came here alive. Healthy. He came here as an emissary under your protection, Alpha Kael! This is just ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!"The room descended into a tense silence. The elders exchanged troubled glances before beginning to murmur among themselves.They couldn't hide the tension weighing down the room.Regardless of who had committed the crime of killing the Gamma of IronClaw Pack, the responsibility inevitably pointed toward me first.I remained seated, calm and collected, allowing Jasper to vent every ounce of his anger without interruption.The room gradually fell silent again. Only then did I finally speak."The investigation is already underway. We are pursuing every possibl

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   A Beautiful Trap

    RonanFor a brief second, the image flashed through my mind again—Seeing Lyra helpless, drugged, and unable to fight back while some disgusting bastard took advantage of her.No...Someone was definitely going to pay for that… The only question was how much.Before either of us could say another word, voices drifted from somewhere in the east garden.Drunken laughter.Followed by pleading.Caleb and I exchanged a glance.Without another word, we slipped into the shadows.There, beneath the pale moonlight, stood a man wearing the crest of IronClaw Pack… a visiting emissary.He staggered with every unsteady step, the pungent stench of alcohol reaching us long before his drunken figure came into full view.An omega maid struggled desperately against his grip as he clutched her wrist and dragged her along behind him. Tears streamed down her face, her frightened pleas trembling through the quiet night."Please..." she sobbed, digging her heels into the ground in a futile attempt to break

    RonanThe crispy skin of the roasted chicken cracked beneath my fingers as I tore off another piece, the rich aroma of herbs and smoke filling the air around my table.Old Madam Zara truly hadn't lost her touch. Even after all these years, no one in the pack seasoned roasted chicken quite like she did.I had barely taken another bite when hurried footsteps approached."Sir Ronan."I looked up to see Silas, one of the gate guards, standing a respectful distance away. "I apologize for the interruption.""What is it?" I asked, slowly wiping my fingers with a napkin."Your pass card has been temporarily denied. Alpha Kael has ordered that the pack gates be sealed until further notice. No one is permitted to enter or leave the pack."I simply nodded and waved a hand dismissively at him. With another respectful bow, he turned and left.My attention returned to the roasted chicken waiting patiently on my plate. I tore off another piece and took a slow, satisfied bite."What in the Moon Godd

    MayaOh gods!My heart slammed against my ribs, so hard that it hurt to breathe.How... how could this happen? An emissary from IronClaw Pack? No! This was a complete disaster.The moment Kael carried Lyra into his arms and stormed away, Craig immediately reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone."Get security here. Immediately."No one moved.No one spoke.Every single person stood frozen, staring at the lifeless body lying on the bed. There wasn't a single trace of blood around him... nothing at all... one would really think that he was sleeping and not dead.The heavy footsteps of guards soon echoed through the corridor. Three armed guards rushed inside.Craig pointed toward the corpse first."You two. Take the body to the medical wing. Secure the area. No one touches anything.""Yes, Beta."The two guards immediately obeyed, carefully lifting the dead emissary onto a stretcher before carrying him away.Then Craig's gaze slowly shifted toward Freya. She was still collapse

    KaelPresent hour…"What?"An emissary from IronClaw Pack?Dead?For several long seconds, my mind tried to process Craig's words. IronClaw had sent two emissaries for the celebration; Beta Jasper and one other emissary. Every representative a pack dispatched carried the authority of an Alpha, and harming one was considered an unforgivable offense between packs.An emissary dead inside my territory… This was no longer an internal dispute anymore… It could become war.I turned toward Maya. Her expression had stiffened, her eyes wide with shock.From everything I'd witnessed since arriving, I could already piece together what had happened.They had somehow tried to pull Lyra into another one of their disgusting schemes. Except this time, my woman hadn't fallen victim. Instead... their own trap had somehow claimed someone else's life.My jaw clenched.I had intended to punish them severely for targeting Lyra yet again. But this… This had spiraled into something far beyond childish jeal

  • Rejected By The Alpha, Crowned By Fate   The Hand Behind the Trap

    LyraA few hours earlier...My head snapped toward the entrance as moonlight spilled into the darkness through the open doorway.For one terrifying second, my heart nearly stopped.A tall figure stood there. Broad shoulders, dark silhouette, just standing there motionless.My fingers dug into the floor beneath me. The figure stepped forward. My throat tightened."Oh, gods..."The moonlight finally illuminated his face, and relief hit me so hard that I nearly cried."Ronan..."He crossed the distance between us almost instantly."Lyra!"His voice was sharp with alarm. The moment he reached me, he dropped into a crouch beside me. Concern filled his eyes as they scanned my face, but at the same time, he sniffed the air and frowned, his hand going straight to his nose."What happened?"I really tried to answer, but my thoughts felt tangled, heavy, and disoriented. My mout

    LyraDamon slowly walked forward through the crowd until he stopped directly beside me.For a brief second, relief flickered weakly inside me again.Maybe…Maybe he truly came to stop this.Maybe he realized Maya had gone too far.His expression was unreadable as his eyes swept over me tied against

    Lyra“What do you mean the Alpha isn’t in the pack?”I stared at Agnes, waiting for her to say she had misspoken… that Kael was simply busy somewhere inside the pack house and would arrive any second.But Agnes only hesitated.That alone made dread settle heavily inside me.“The Alpha…” she began c

    LyraThe door suddenly burst open with a loud bang.I jolted awake instantly.My body reacted before my mind even fully caught up, every nerve in me snapping alert as I sat up sharply on the bed, breathing unevenly.For one disoriented second, panic rushed through me.Ever since that horrible night

    LyraI stood outside Alpha Kael’s study, my hand hovering near the door for a brief moment before I knocked.“Enter.”I pushed the door open and stepped inside.Alpha Kael was seated behind his desk, surrounded by neatly stacked documents. The faint sound of paper shifting filled the room as he sha
