Ezra’s POV
“Sorry Alpha Ezra, I was just rambling,” Iris said quickly, her voice turning apologetic.

I forced the storm rising inside me back into its cage. Ragnar stirred, restless at the name spoken earlier, but I kept my expression composed.
“It’s alright,” I replied evenly. “We all have a favorite story from childhood. Some stay with us longer than they should p>
“Yes!” Iris turned to Lylah. “Do you even realize how lucky you are? Such a kind, handsome Alpha for a mate?” She winked. “After this, should I keep calling you Lylah… or Luna of Moonclaw? ”
“Iris! Don’t start p>
Their laughter filled the car.
But I no longer heard it.
Memories pressed in instead.
My life had once been normal. I was just an ordinary pup–expected, one day, to become Alpha.
Until my fourteenth birthday.
That night, during the celebration, something inside me snapped loose. I ran into the forest, breath ourning in my lungs, bones breaking and reforming as I shifted for the first time. That was when I connected with Ragnar.
And with him, came memories that were never supposed to belong to me.
I had a mate.
Not a future mate.
Not a destined one yet to meet.
A mate I had already loved.
I remembered her face. Her voice. The way her laughter softened even the cruelest parts of me.
Princess Lysara of Lunareth Kingdom.
The same soul who now sits beside me – unaware
And back then, I was not Ezra of Moonclaw. I was Ezrael, commander of the Lycan warrior clan–the most savage, most feared, most powerful bloodline ever to carry Selene’s mark.
The legend Lylah dismissed as myth was the life we had once lived.

Her kingdom could not accept our bond. Her own blood–those sworn to protect her–branded her a traitor for loving me. And my people? They called our bond a curse. Together, they tried to sever fate itself.
War followed–ten long years of blood and ash.
I slaughtered them all.
But it meant nothing.
Because I still lost her.
They took her from me. Kiled her in the cruelest way possible. I can still see it. Still hear it.
When Selene granted us another life, Lysara returned.
But her wolf did not.
The memories were locked away, buried so deep even Ragnar cannot reach them.
My Lysara.
My Lylah.
‘Ezra! ”
Her voice pulled me back.
The car had stopped.
‘Come on! The rain’s gone!” she said brightly.
Damon and Iris had already stepped out. I nodded and exited the car, then walked around to help her.
Lunaris Town Square shimmered beneath the clearing sky, lamplight reflecting off wet stone, moonlight spilling silver across the pavement.
“I know Iris is starving,” Lylah said cheerfully. “So I asked Damon to stop so we could grab something to
eat p>
“Alright p>
My hand settled naturally at her waist as we walked.
The massive digital billboard flickered, and the image shifted. Revealing faces that made Lylah freeze and Ragnar growl inside my head.
“That’s Rowan… ” she murmured. “Who’s that man beside him? ”
“That’s Logan Silver,” I replied. “One of the well–known tech engineers here p>

“Alpha Rowan of Blackfang and Logan Silver sign contract for upcoming expansion project,” Lylah read aloud from the glowing screen. A small, adorable growl slipped from her throat. “Rowan always wanted to expand his power this far. And now he has p>
“You’re afraid p>
“No.” She shook her head. “I’m worried. After the last time he tried to mess with you, I know that won’t be the last.” Her voice lowered. “His collaboration with Logan has to have hidden motives against you, Ezra. He won’t stop bothering you p>
The rest of what she said barely registered.
I focused on only one thing.
She was worried about me.
“Logan used to work at the Lunaris Research Center,” I said calmly.
“That makes it worse,” she insisted. “Then he knows about you. About your project. What if he leaks something to Rowan p>
She looked up at me–those same eyes, bright as stars and soft as moonlight.
“He won’t.” I reached up and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
“He’ll try to bring you down with whatever they’re working on p>
“Every skill and idea Logan took from the Research Center is outdated,” I replied. “At least ten steps behind what we’re developing now p>
A spark of pure, hopeful innocence filled her eyes.
“Really p>
