The Alpha's prey

The Alpha's prey Lyra Blackwood has been running her entire life. As the last surviving member of her disgraced family, she’s been hunted, hated, and feared. But nothing could prepare her for being captured by Kael Wolfe—the brutal, merciless Alpha of a rival pack. Cold and calculated, Kael sees Lyra as nothing more than a means to an end, a pawn in his quest for revenge against the bloodline that betrayed him years ago. Thrown into his world, Lyra is held captive under Kael’s control, forced to submit to the will of a man who thrives on power and domination. He wants to break her, bend her to his will, and make her suffer for the sins of her family. But Lyra is no helpless prey. Despite the chains that bind her, she refuses to bow to him, challenging Kael at every turn. Their mutual hatred fuels a dark and dangerous attraction. The more Kael tries to dominate her, the more he becomes consumed by an obsession he never expected. And as the full moon approaches, so does a curse that ties their fates together in ways neither of them can escape. Their passion is raw, violent, and unforgiving—a battle for control as much as it is a descent into desire. But what begins as punishment turns into something darker and more twisted, as Kael realizes that breaking Lyra might mean breaking himself. As they teeter on the edge of madness, Lyra must decide whether to trust the man who once vowed to destroy her, or let the forces hunting her finally claim her life. Bound by hatred, bound by desire, they’re forced to face a love that could destroy them both—or consume them entirely. In this dark, primal world where loyalty is a weapon and betrayal is everywhere, Lyra and Kael’s fate is sealed beneath the moon—locked in a brutal dance of love and power they can no longer control.

Doubts

The camp was alive with tension, a feeling that crept over Lyra like a cold mist as Kael led her deeper into his territory. Wolves around them whispered and cast her wary looks. Lyra felt like an outsider in every sense, and Ariadne's bitter words from earlier echoed in her mind. Was Kael truly on her side, or was she simply a means to an end?

Kael walked beside her, keeping her close. She could feel his unease, his guarded posture, like he was ready for an attack. But she wasn't sure if he was protecting her—or keeping her in line.

As they neared Kael's quarters, Lyra noticed unfriendly glances from other wolves. Doubt and resentment burned in their eyes. The weight of their silent judgment pressed on her, filling her with dread.

Kael paused, sensing her hesitation. "Lyra, don't pay attention to them," he said quietly. "They don't understand. But I'll handle it. You're safe here."
