Lylah’s POV
Finished
After bathing and dressing, I stepped out of my bedroom, the soft morning light washing the penthouse in
a pale, golden glow. My hand closed around the first thing I’d claimed as mine since last night.
And no it wasn’t my brush or lipstick.
It was my hairdryer.
My fingers itched shamelessly, my wolf stirring with quiet hunger to feel Alpha Ezra’s raven–black hair again.
As if summoned by my thoughts, his voice carried through the space.
“Good morning, Lylah p>
I swallowed, forcing my pulse to calm.
“Good morning, Ezra.” Then I moved closer, my steps light. “You washed your hair today? Good. Let me help you dry it p>
His scent slammed into me, and my wolf purred deep in my chest, restless and needy. Ezra wore a simple shirt and pants. Something so casual it almost seemed wrong on a man who usually carried command like
– yet it only made him more attractive.
a crown
A reckless thought crossed my mind; this man could wear a rug and still look like a God.
“Lylah? ”
“Ah yes!” I blinked, pulling myself back to reality. “Sorry p>
“I thought you were leaving,” he said with a soft chuckle. “You just went quiet p>
“I was just zoning out. You know, old habit,” I said, lifting the hairdryer. “Come on. Sit p>
But before he could, the little robot rolled between us and chimed brightly.
“Daddy must be wondering why Lylah is silent! It is because she is staring at Daddy and drooling p>
“What?” Ezra blinked.
“Bambi!” I snapped. “That is not true p>
“And now her face is turning red p>
“No, it’s not! I’m going to punish you!” I lunged, laughing, but the little machine glided away on its wheels.
Ezra’s laughter followed us; warm, free, unguarded.
Just as my fingers were about to close around Bambi, my phone buzzed violently in my pocket.

I stopped.
The moment I answered, a rigid male voice spoke.
“Lylah Moonrow. This is Lunaris City Court. You are required to appear immediately p>
I froze. “What p>
“Alpha Rowan of Blackfang has filed to annul your mating,” the voice continued. “He has presented evidence that you left his Pack without authorization and formed a mating bond without the consent of your Alpha. A formal investigation is now underway p>
My fist tightened around the phone, knuckles white. “He doesn’t have the right p>
“He does,” the voice interrupted, cold as ice. “Failure to appear will be considered an admission of guilt. Should you refuse, enforcement will be dispatched to bring you in. The choice is yours p>
The call ended.
I stared at my phone, my pulse roaring in my ears.
Of course, Rowan would move like this.
Of course.
Some bitter part of me almost laughed. This was exactly who he was – pulling strings, calling in favors, using every ounce of his authority to tear my life apart.
Elijah must be involved too. Rowan would use anyone, everyone, to destroy my bond. To destroy my happiness.
Fine.
My grip tightened around my phone as I turned,
And found Alpha Ezra standing far closer than I’d realized.
“Ezra, that was p>
“I heard everything,” he said quietly. The softness in his eyes was gone, replaced by something deeper. Sharper. Alpha power coiled beneath his calm voice.
“Don’t worry,” he continued. “I’m going with you p>
“There’s no need,” I said quickly. “Rowan is my problem. I won’t drag you into the mess he created p>
Ezra stepped closer.
“Lylah,” he said, and even though his aura shifted, his voice remained gentle. “Do you remember what we
are now p>
I swallowed. “Of course. Mates. ”
