The Alpha's Broken Mate

My entire family forced me to take the blame for my adopted sister, and my Alpha told me, "Seven years will pass in no time". While I was in prison for her, losing the child in my womb, my Alpha mate was holding her in his arms and saying, "I love you". After I was released, I severed our soul bond with my own hands and left for the war zone. Later, filled with regret, he clutched my boots and cried, "My Luna". I touched my heavily pregnant belly and said, "Sorry, but I'm already carrying your older brother's child".

Story Guide

Episode 1

Lyra's world collapses in a single night. Her adopted sister Selina drove drunk, killed someone, and ran — but when the top-priority warrant comes down, the whole family lines up to protect the "fragile" one. Their solution? Lyra takes the fall. "Go in her place," they plead, because Selina's wolf would never survive the silver poison of prison.

Lyra refuses. She didn't kill anyone. But her father won't hear it, and guards drag her toward the van while she screams for Kaale to help her.

Instead, her Alpha mate offers a bargain: serve the seven years, and when she's out, they'll complete the bonding ceremony. He'll make her his Luna. It's the cruelest kind of comfort.

Episode 2

Seven years, twenty-five days, and countless nights later, Lyra walks free — and nothing has changed. Kaale keeps his word about the ceremony, but the moment Selina has another "episode," he runs to her side, leaving Lyra alone on her first night home.

Her family doesn't visit her in prison once, yet Selina's stress disorder sends them all to the hospital. The pack even orders Lyra to hide in her room and keep out of sight.

Lyra sees it clearly now: they never loved her. She doesn't want to be his Luna anymore. She's already counting down the days until she's gone for good.

Episode 3

Lyra's family wastes no time planning her erasure. They debate throwing her out of the pack entirely, worried her "rogue stink" will set Selina off again. Their compromise is worse: Lyra must mask her scent completely, never show her face, never step outside, and pretend her wolf doesn't exist.

But Lyra has a secret. During her fifth year in prison, a border commander saw how ruthless survival had made her and invited her to join. She passed the trials and joined the border.

Ten days. Ten more days of these hypocrites, then she severs her bond with the Silver Crown pack and leaves for good — with a farewell gift they'll never forget.

Episode 4

It's Selina's birthday, and the whole pack gathers to celebrate her — while Lyra stands in the shadows, freshly released and penniless. Selina plays the forgiving sister, apologizing for not picking her up, then makes a request dressed as a gift: she wants Kaale as her mate.

The room goes silent. Stealing a mate is the most unforgivable crime among wolves, and every wolf present chooses silence.

Lyra is cornered. If she refuses, she's the villain. If she agrees, she loses everything.

Episode 5

The birthday gathering turns into another performance. Selina shows off her perfect Old Wolf Tongue, and the family showers her with praise — calling her their treasure, destined to be a revered seer.

Then Lyra speaks. She knows Old Wolf Tongue too. But instead of awe, she gets disgust. Her family recoils, telling her to get her filthy, blood-covered self away from Selina before she frightens her.

Kaale declares he'll always protect Lyra, his fated mate — the same Alpha who once swore to protect her. But when Lyra slips outside for air, she notices the bitter truth: everyone circles Selina. Not one wolf remembers it's her birthday too.

Episode 6

Lyra takes work outside the pack, and it's not glamorous. A drunk customer tries to pull her onto his lap, offering a whole night's wages for tips. She shoves him off coldly and tells him to find his fun elsewhere.

When someone sees her in a place like this, the judgment is instant. But Lyra doesn't flinch. She didn't steal the money — she earned it, and honest money beats any handout from a "family" that threw her away.

Seven years in prison taught her one thing: in a world of kill or be killed, she has no pack to shield her. She's done living like them.

Episode 7

Lyra finally tells the story of how she and Kaale began. They knew they were mates as pups. When she was lost in the forest and not found until fifteen, the first face she saw was his — kind, steady, promising to take her home. He was the only one who ever was.

She gave him everything. And in the end, his own hands threw her into prison and killed their pup.

Kaale gives her a red dress, remembering how she once dreamed of wearing red to complete their bond. But Lyra says she doesn't like red anymore. She only wore it as a lost child, hoping her parents would recognize her. That girl is gone.

Episode 8

Kaale notices something off — Lyra's scent is faint, and she's thinner than she was seven years ago. Before he can press her, an urgent call pulls him away: Selina has climbed onto the roof of the main house, claiming she shouldn't have tried to steal Lyra's mate and threatening to jump.

Lyra watches the same tired show unfold. The family rushes to Selina, sobbing and pleading.

When Selina is brought down, the blame lands exactly where it always does. Lyra's family turns on her: if she hadn't come back, Selina would never have tried to kill herself. Once again, Lyra is the villain in their story.

If you love a slow-burn revenge tale where the quiet ones hold all the power, this one's worth binging — press play and watch Lyra's countdown begin.
