The Lost Heir
READING AGE 16+
Lyra Grey has spent her life being underestimated.
An orphaned gamma with no family name, no inheritance, and no place to call home beyond the walls of Exton College, she has fought for everything she has. Now, in her final year, she's finally earned the respect she's worked so hard for.
Until Joshua Landry comes back into her life.
Arrogant, powerful, and born into the most influential Lycan family in Britain, Joshua is the last person Lyra wants anything to do with. He humiliated her, called her worthless, and left her hospitalised after a combat match that went too far.
Then, on her eighteenth birthday, the Goddess delivers the cruellest possible twist.
Joshua Landry is her destined mate.
Lyra rejects him without hesitation.
But unknown to Lyra, Joshua doesn't reject her back...
He knows what he did. He knows he doesn't deserve her forgiveness. Yet the arrogant boy Lyra remembers is no longer quite the man standing before her, and Joshua is determined to prove it.
As forced proximity gives way to reluctant friendship, every argument, stolen glance and unexpected moment of tenderness threatens the certainty of Lyra's rejection. Joshua wants her, but refuses to take what she isn't willing to give. And Lyra begins to wonder whether the bond she rejected might lead to something she never believed she could have.
A love she chooses for herself.
But while Joshua fights to become worthy of his family's extraordinary legacy, Lyra's own past is beginning to unravel.
Someone is searching for a girl who disappeared years ago.
Someone else is determined she must never be found.
And as mysterious attacks draw closer to Exton, Lyra finds herself at the centre of a danger she cannot explain, while the truth about who she really is threatens to change everything.
Two lost heirs. One rejected bond. And a destiny neither of them can claim without first discovering who they are.
Because the Goddess may have chosen them for each other.
But love is a choice only they can make.

When we leave Leo's office, Joshua starts leading us with suspicious purpose towards the training hall.
I am not particularly dressed for the occasion, but I could make it work.
He slows at the far end of the corridor, and for a second, I think he is looking at the doors.
Then he looks at me.
