Lyra’s POV.I wiggled around the chair trying to get off the ropes that bound me with the chair, anger and fear cursing through me as I stared at Xavier's dark deep orbs that exuded venom and the smug smile that spread against his lips."Why are you doing this, Xavier?" I spat, firing my words at him like bullets.His smile grew wider. "You're just a pawn in a bigger game, Lyra. This is about Sage. Don’t worry princess, I may or may not hurt, so I won’t make any promises” I wagged against the ropes trying to get free from them even though my efforts were in vain yet I didn’t waver, “What does Sage have to do with this? And why would you result to violence for whatever this has to do with” His eyes gleamed with malice. “He needs to learn the hard way, I plan on taking everything from him, anything that ever brought him happiness must be eliminated” I gulped down a lump batting my eyelashes as my eyes stung in tears, “You’re sick Xavier! Sage won’t spare you if he ever gets a hold of

I stood before my pack, my voice thundering through the walls."Twenty-four hours! That's how long Lyra's been gone. And what do I see? Nothing! No leads, no clues, no progress!" I roared.Goddamit!I should never have trusted anyone to pick her up. I should have done that myself.Part of me hoped that she didn’t leave me yet again. I thought we had sorted out our differences and now starting things afresh.What changed then?My gaze scoured the room, meeting the downcast eyes of my pack."Incompetence! That's what I'm surrounded by!"Jason stepped forward. "Alpha, we're doing everything we can—""Everything you can?" I roared, cutting him off. "If that were true, Lyra would be back here, safe and sound!"My fists clenched, nails digging into my palms. "I want results, not excuses!"Damien spoke up. "Sage, we've tracked every lead, every rumor. We've covered miles—""Miles? Miles mean nothing without Lyra!" My voice cracked with frustration.I paced, my eyes burning with anger and des

I stirred letting out a growl feeling a masculine chest beneath my cheek. I paused asnmy heart dropped lifting up hurriedly, I came in contact with his stare.Memories of what happened last night came rushing back to me urging a growl that has him chuckling.My face carried a blush as my cheek heat up, hurridly hiding my face at the crool of his neck motrified.He burst into a fits of laughter holding onto my waist asbi cuddle deep into him, hiding from the embarrassment.“Stop” I mumbled.“If you keep doing that, I won’t be able to control myself anymore” he says making my brows furrow in confusion.“It won’t hurt to go for another round” he addsI chee on my lower lip the thought turning me on but I am still sour from last night, a good rest won’t hurt.I groaned, my embarrassment deepening."Last night was...unexpected," I stammered.Sage's fingers traced gentle patterns on my back. "Unexpected, but incredible."I peeked up at him, my eyes narrowing. "You're enjoying my embarrassme

I measured out the sugar carefully so as not to miss the recipe "Lyra, you're lost in thought again," Angela said, nudging me with her elbow. I smiled sheepishly. "Sorry," I say trying to fight back the thoughts. Sage’s different behaviors have been getting to me these days. His efforts aren’t going unnoticed though I try as much as possible to make him believe that his actions weren’t getting to me or going to change my mind, I still stand to the fact that I won’t be giving us a chance. “What is wrong?” She questions with worry in her tune. I shrugged, “Nothing” trying to wave off the conversation but she wasn’t having it, it’s Angela after all. Letting out a sigh I paused my action on molding the dough, my shoulders sulking. “It’s Sage” Angela's expression turned curious. "What about him?" I cleared my throat proceeding to mix the dough. "He's been trying, Angela. Trying. But I'm not making it easy for him." Angela nodded thoughtfully. "You're still hurting Lyra,

I collapsed onto the floor, my legs giving out on me as soon as the door clicked shut behind Sage. The sobs I'd been holding back erupted, shaking my entire body. Nyx, howled in sympathy making me cry even harder.How could he do this to me again? I thought I'd moved on, that I'd left the pain behind. But Sage's kiss had awakened something deep within me, something I couldn't ignore and I hated that.I didn’t want this for myself. My heart has already been broken once and I don’t want it to happen again. It’s breaking me.I wrapped my arms around my knees, rocking back and forth as tears streamed down my face. Why did I still feel this way? Why did my heart still race when he touched me?This isn’t supposed to be happening. He shouldn’t have this effect on me. Nyx's gentle nudges didn't calm me this time. My wolf sensed my pain, but even she couldn't soothe the storm raging inside me.I am left feeling conflicted and hurt. It saddens me that he feels as though he is still in contro

I sat down on the edge of Sage's bed, my heart pounding loudly in my chest as I heard the door creak open, signaling Sage's arrival. Despite the turmoil of emotions inside me, I made a conscious effort to mask my face, trying to appear composed even though I was burning with discomfort. I don’t know if he is aware of my return but then I am sure his Wolf may have sensed it. I turned slightly away, my eyes fixed on a random spot on the floor, avoiding any direct eye contact with him as he entered the room. The tension between us was palpable, and I struggled to find the right words to break the uneasy silence but then again, I was the one wronged, so making an effort first is his go and not mine. “Lyra” he calls out his voice sounding foreign to my hearing, almost as though it was the first time he had ever called my name. The tingling was still there. “Thank you for coming back” he states urging me to stare right back at him and I hit him with a physically chang
