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.

Tethered by fate

The shadows of the forest thickened as Lyra and Kael pushed forward, the scent of pine and damp earth mingling with the scent of blood and sweat. The silence between them had stretched long enough that Lyra began to feel the weight of everything left unsaid. Her heart pounded with the questions she couldn't ask why had he saved her, why did he care now, and how much of what Marcus said was true?

They had nearly reached Kael's territory, his home, but it felt like they had entered enemy grounds.

"Lyra," Kael said, breaking the silence. His voice was strained, raw with something she couldn't quite place. "When we get back, I need you to stay close to me. Things will be different."

Lyra furrowed her brows. "Different how?"

Kael slowed his steps, turning to face her. His eyes gleamed in the fading light, intense as ever. "There are others... Ariadne has returned." The name hung in the air between them like a poisonous fog.
