NIGHT FANG PACK. LYRA'S POV. The laundry room buzzed with chatter as I carefully ironed Aurelia’s dress. One tiny mistake was all it took to earn a slap. Tonight, of all nights, I couldn’t afford one. "I heard the King’s curse has gotten even worse," one of the omegas whispered, so quietly it was almost as though she feared the King himself might hear her. "Who do you think will turn out to be his fated mate? Lady Aurelia… or Lady Alma?" "I believe it’ll be Lady Aurelia,” another omega murmured. “She’s fierce. A fitting match for someone like the King." "What if the Moon Goddess surprises us all?" my best friend, Elektra casually asked. "What if it turns out to be Lyra?" Silence settled over the room as the other omegas exchanged uneasy glances. Of course they did. I was nobody. Aurelia and Alma were my sisters. Well… Stepsisters. But all my life, they never felt like family. They hated my very existence and were dedicated to making my life a living hell. I was Alpha Garret

KENDRICK'S POV. When I walked through the entrance of that hall, I didn't expect to see my fated mate being tied to a pillar and being flogged. A familiar sense of uncontrollable rage ignited through my veins and the natural instinct to protect surged forth. "Enough!" I thundered. The entire hall went as silent as night, and the Delta who had been flogging her froze halfway through another lash. As I walked further inside, the High Priestess, Nadia, followed me behind. Everyone dropped from their seat to the floor on one knee. "Your Majesty!" they chorused. My gaze had only been on one person. But the closer I got to her, an inferior energy radiated off her. My eyes narrowed when I realized it. Cursed furs... ...An omega. I had done my findings on the Blackthorne daughters; Aurelia Blackthorne and Alma Blackthorne. Both sisters were noble-born and Beta trained warriors. So who in the blasted moon was this omega my beast just claimed as our mate?! "Your Majest

LYRA'S POV. I sucked in a sharp breath and my eyes fluttered open. I squinted as the sunrays filtering through the window shone directly into my eyes. It felt like I had been run over by a carriage. "Lyra!" It was only then that I noticed my worried-looking friend sitting at the edge of my bed. Almost immediately, the events of the previous night flooded my mind, and one word slipped from my lips. "Mate." "Yes," Elektra whispered softly. It was true then. I had found my mate. "He saved me," I murmured. I tried to picture what he looked like, but my mind was blank. I frowned as I realized I had passed out after he saved me. "Who is he, Elektra?" I asked, but noticed how visibly tense she became. When several seconds passed and she said nothing, I pushed. "Please say something." She exhaled a shaky breath and swallowed. "Lyra… your mate is… It’s…" She was still speaking when the familiar voice of my stepsister rang through. "Where is she?!" Aurelia growled, the depth of he

FEW DAYS LATER. KENDRICK'S POV. I scanned the file Knox had just brought into my study, a frown settling on my face. The whole situation was beginning to seem far worse than I had imagined. Wolfless at the age of Twenty-two? "No." I dropped the file onto my desk, shaking my head. "This can't work." Knox sighed in exhaustion. "Kendrick..." "What?" I snapped. He pinned his gaze on me for a few seconds, then answered. "The goddess knows best." "Oh, does she?" I queried. "The girl is a wolfless omega. Who is to say her genes aren't recessive?" "Actually, from everything this file says, she already established a connection with her wolf since she turned sixteen. She just hasn't shifted yet." I looked at him with slight irritation. "Does that even make sense to you?" He shrugged. "If you're a werewolf-demon hybrid, then anything is possible. We don't make the rules, the Moon Goddess does." "This is a curse, not strength." The words tasted bitter. "I’m not a hybrid. I’m a cursed

LYRA'S POV. "Don't tell me you're sulking again." Elektra's voice pulled me out of my train of thoughts as she made her way toward the pavement where I sat. "I can't help it," I whispered pitifully. It had been a week since I found my mate. A whole week, and he still hadn’t come for me. My eyes burned, and I blinked back the tears threatening to spill. I had thought the pain would ease with time, but every day the hollow ache in my chest only seemed to grow deeper. It was strange to feel this deeply for someone I had never even seen, but I guessed that was how the mate bond worked. "Maybe it is all for the best," I muttered. "What is?" she asked as sat beside me. "His rejection," I replied. "If he accepts the bond, he'd be more disappointed when he finds out I'm wolfless. Not to talk of this horrible scar I have to carry on my face from now on," I said, cringing internally when I remembered what my reflection looked like now. "He’d probably be repulsed if he saw me." Ele

KENDRICK'S POV. Against my better judgment, I found myself walking through the gates of Alpha Garrett’s residence. "Your Majesty!" He hurried toward me, bowing deeply. "I... I had no idea you would be visiting today." "Neither did I," I replied dryly. "Where is she?" I asked, going straight to the point. "Wh-who..?" he stuttered. My gaze turn cold, and he visibly gulped. Did I look like I was here to joke around? "I would go and get her for you," he rushed out, looking at his Deltas indecisively, before hurrying off to get her himself. Not long after he left, I began to hear chaotic noises within the compound. Low growls echoed through the compound, making a slight frown settle on my face. Then it occured to me. Tonight was the full moon. A while passed and Alpha Garrett still hadn't returned with her. My patience was starting to wear thin. "Where is..." The words died on my lips when a strange flood of emotions hit me out of nowhere. I stilled instantly, my senses shar

LYRA'S POV. When he introduced me as an omega, my chest physically ached. I looked into his eyes, silently begging, but he tore his gaze away. "I'll leave you both then," he said to the head maid who nodded. "Of course, my king. I will ensure she settles in well." "Good." He gave a curt nod, before turning and walking off. I did everything possible to keep my tears at bay as he walked away. He had saved me a second time last night. He roared out the word, 'MINE!!', then proceeded to whisk me into his arms and ensured I was safe for the rest of the night. When he told me that he had come with the intention of taking me back with him, I felt so hopeful. He didn't reject me, and that only meant he was willing to give me a chance. Then we arrived here, only to have my hopes crushed. He had not brought me here to develop a relationship or get to know me better. He brought me to... To be a servant. "Are you okay, my dear?" The head maid asked warmly, and I nodded slowly, unabl

LYRA'S POV. My eyes felt swollen. It took several seconds before I managed to pry them open, and even then, the room around me remained a blur. Someone was leaning over me and I tensed instinctively. Then her face slowly came into focus. Dalia. The tightness in my chest returned as yesterday came rushing back all at once. "Lyra," she called gently. I only just realized she was the one who had woken me. "Hi," I murmured, pushing myself upright. The moment I sat up, my head throbbed painfully and I winced. "Hi." She smiled warmly. "It's morning. You should prepare for the day." She held out a steaming cup to me. "Here." I looked inside it to see a dark colored liquid. "What... is this?" I asked, reaching out to collect it. "It's for your headache." My hand paused midway and we looked at each other. "I know you cried yourself to sleep last night." She released low sigh. "You must miss your family." I didn’t answer. The only family I missed was Elektra. If anything, I was

LYRA'S POV. One moment, he was glaring at me as though I had committed some unforgivable offense. The next, he turned sharply and strode out of the White Garden, leaving the other maids staring at me in confusion. I looked around in embarrassment, unable to hold anybody's gaze. As I made to resume my work, a Delta walked up to me. "The King has demanded you join him in his study," he said to my hearing alone. I tried to mask my anxiety and gave a nod in response. Knowing better than to keep the King waiting, I followed behind the Delta immediately. After weaving through several hallways yet again, we finally came to a stop in front of a large oakwood door being guarded by two other Deltas. The Deltas pushed open the door and I was ushered in. The open doors didn't give a full view of the office, but I could make out his figure, seated behind a desk. With shaky legs, I entered the room and the doors closed behind me. My gaze found him instantly, and I swallowed. No, it wasn't

KENDRICK'S POV. I stared at Knox in slight irritation after the omega left my study. "You shouldn't speak to her that way," he said, shaking his head in disapproval. "You're hurting her." "Her existence pricks me." "And how is that her fault?" I released a low huff, knowing he was actually right. "Katya sent her to the white garden." My jaw locked. “She should have known better.” Knox just stared at me for a long moment before speaking. "It's unfair for you to transfer your hatred for omegas onto Lyra." "She is an omega," I pointed out. "Yes, she is. But she is also your mate," he shot back. "And how much longer are you going to hide your bond with her?" "She is just here as a placeholder to pacify Varyx, until I can find a permanent solution to my problem." His face fell and he frowned slightly. "So in essence, you still have plans of rejecting her?" "That is the point of keeping the bond hidden, Knox." "That is unfair." "That is the wise thing to do as Alpha King,
