Two days later ....Evening 7:00pm ......At the packhouse"In the past two days the only evidence we found was Lyra's presence at the abandoned hut!" Sebastian began."Are you sure, you're really sure about this Killian!""Someone claimed to always have seen her frequently for the past two days there!""Can you see! I know exactly what I'm saying!" Killian asserted immediately."Listen to me, No?!, You constantly make me feel like I'm just a random werewolf speaking gibberish!" He spat angrily."Relax" Sebastian murmured turning to him."It's just a claim, it's not confirmed yet!"Killian, Sebastian, Xander and Marcus were seated in Killian's chamber trying to sort out both the rogue issue and the Lyra issue."So, we found this in the hut!" He said and brought out the stack of paper they took from the hut.Marcus sniffed in deeply with his eyes tightly shut, and after some minutes slowly looked up at them."It belongs to an human! There's no werewolf scent on it""Oh finally! Thank g
"It's nice to finally meet you, Lyra!"Lyra slowly looked up at him her hair scattered all over her face, she shook her head, just so her face becomes visible.Her face looked pale red, like she had been crying nonstop, her eyes red and depicting deep anger.She lifted her head and spat on his face."Fuck!" He growled as he stood up immediately and moved backwards, he raised the collar of his shirt and cleaned off her spit."Fuck you! How dare you do that!" Quinn growled as she walked towards her and slammed her hands on Lyra's face ."You are a woman too, how dare you do this to me!" Lyra murmured angrily."Why are you surprised?! There isn't much of a difference between us!"Theodore moved forward and angrily grabbed a handful of Lyra's hair in his hands."You're just a fucking bitch," he growled as he raised her hair and made her look up to his face."My brothers will find me!" She growled defiantly."Well actually that's quite the contrary!" Quinn imputed, she slowly walked over t
Series of Flash backs .....*"Lyra?! What are you eating?!"**"What do you mean, can't you see what's in my plate, it's meat ofcourse!"**"But you don't eat meat!"*Lyra made to talk but she ended up spluttering at that attempt.*"True I-i just decided to try food I never gave a chance, I was curious to know how it tastes!"**"You were curious to know how it tastes?! But you only stopped eating meat six months ago because of your diet plan?!"**"Look Xander, stop stressing me! I stopped six months ago and I'm restarting now! People do that all the time! I'm already going through a lot for you to keep questioning me like this"* she snapped and with that she stormed up to her room...Knock!knock!*"Can I come in Lyra please we need to talk!"**"One second I'll be out soon!"**"Just let me in we can always talk in your room!"**"No!"* She replied as she walked out of the room and shut the door tightly behind her.*"I don't want you snooping around my private stuff!"**"You now have priv
Meanwhile .... Dowgar's Pack ..."So Lyra, tell me why you'd try to kill your mate!" Killian asked as he looked up at Lyra.She slowly met his gaze her mouth curved in a loud hiss.She looked more normal now, she had been cleaned up and given a decent pair of clothes go wear, she looks like the Lyra we all admired once again, except that the burning angry expression never left her face."You know, if I was actually close to you, I would have spat in your face again for asking me that stupid question!" She whispered and Theodore face slowly wide widened in a smile, "I can see you're deciding to take the hardest path""Screw you, unknown Alpha of this nameless pack!""Just admit it my dear, we both have one thing in common, we hate Killian's gut! So you're free to talk!""Well you're out of luck Mr Entitled guy, I don't hate Killian!""Then explain why you tried to kill him, twice!" He said and she scoffed."Who is supplying you with nonsense informations!""Why would I try to kill a
Eliza, now back in Lyra's form squatted by Hazel on the floor.They had both being in that position for the past thirty minutes since Hazel went unconscious, Eliza waiting patiently for her to come back awake.Hazel slowly turned on the floor and Eliza lips stretched into a small smile, Hazel was coming awake."Holy shit!" Hazel exclaimed as she tried to stand up abruptly, but she couldn't, Eliza quickly moved closer to her and pinned her to the wall."Well you were so curious, now you know" Eliza whispered."What do you plan to do about it?!" "Please don't hurt me!" Was the only thing Hazel could murmur, Eliza bursted out laughing."Are you seriously begging for your life?!""Where did all your sharp mouth and strong woman go?!" "Please don't hurt me!" She repeated."Well, I really can't promise that!" She whispered, her eyes changing color to deep red."You're not human like Killian speculated!" Hazel whispered her eyes hovering all around Eliza and the room ."Yes, and let me tel
****"I Killian Winterfur, the son of Alpha Jethro, hereby reject you Lyra Hercules as my rightful mate, Because I cannot live with a person who wants the downfall and destruction of my pack!""I hereby announce myself as a free soul, and reject the mate Bond with Lyra Hercules, and will be living my life a free soul until I decide so!""How do you feel?!" Sebastian whispered some minutes after,"Nothing!" He whispered."I don't feel anything! But I've made my intentions known!" He concluded as he passed Eliza in Lyra's form one more disdainful look and stormed out, with Sebastian following behind him."Lyra can you please tell me what's going on in your head?!" Xander said, Eliza was seated in the dungeon, the farthest Killian could let's him go was behinds the huge metallic gates, although he totally hated what Lyra did but Killian didn't really trust him, he knew there was still a small chance of vulnerability and sentiment in Xander's heart towards Lyra that could make him do what
"You deceived me!" She muttered before falling down to the ground unconscious*Back to present*"You actually are a very good instigator Lyra!" Quinn said as she slowly stood up from where she sat and walked towards them."How did you do it?!" "How did you manage to make yourself two?!""I guess we really underestimated humans babe," she murmured turning to Theodore."Especially this one!" She grunted turning back to Lyra."Obviously, they are science people should be even more feared !" Theodore replied."Here you are in our pack and your clone in Starlight pack, paying for your sins in the dungeon!" Quinn continued as she slowly moved closer go Lyra."My clone?!" Lyra murmured."What are you talking about?!""Your family and friends still have no idea that their real enemy is out here, they are busy dealing with the fake you created!" She said "Which fake did I create!" Lyra yelled."I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!""Why can't you guys just see that I'm innoce
Two days later ...."So it's true!" Maximilian whispered to Eliza in Lyra's form.Killian didn't actually want him to come in but after so much pleading and everything, he decided to let him come in, just for a stipulated period of time."You really are what they say you are?!""Even you don't believe me Milly?! It's not true!" She replied pretentiously tearing up."Don't call me that!" He snapped lowly "It's not what you think Maximilian,""Actually, I really don't know what to think!""Considering how our last conversation ended!""I'm trying to makeup excuses for you in my head but it all just doesn't make sense!" He whispered."It was a set up" she replied."Set up?! You tried to kill Hazel and we all saw you, you call that a set up?!""Come on now, Lyra come on now!" "It's actually not what you think ," she repeated "Can you please stop saying that!!" Maximilian snapped."Can you please just stop saying that! When exactly do you plan to come out straight to us!""Until when do
Squid Arena...Night of the full moon...It was the night of the full moon and all important personalities from the neighboring packs were present in the Squid Arena, ready to witness the fight for the throne between two powerful Alphas. Alpha Killian of Starlight Pack and Alpha Theodore of Dowgar's pack. It was indeed going to be a tough battle, anyone seated there could easily sense the tension in the atmosphere.The full moon shone brightly on the Arena, as it flocked with people from different packs.Killian stood some distance away from the ring, with Lyra, Sebastian, Jada and Xander around him.His eyes stopped on Xander and they stared at each other for a while before he looked away. After he talked to Sebastian, they had decided to not confront him as Lyra had asked, and tonight was the night they were going to get him in the act, he had tried giving him a drink which contained a substance that was supposed to weaken him and make Theodore win instead but he didn't take it, eve
Same dayThe laptop made a beeping sound and Lyra immediately dropped the phone on the table as she ran her hands on the keyboard. Her fingers were shaking as she hoped and prayed it wasn't who she thought it was. He'd never do that to them.The flashdrive contained only one audio. She took a deep breath before playing the audio.---"When you killed Marcus did you consider it an act of maturity!""You know how important Marcus was in all of these, how dare you take his life that like that!" "What would you have me do?!""He saw my face, that was going to be doom for me and my job here isn't done yet!""Fuck! You should have left that to me!""Do you have an idea how many plans you've disrupted just by that singular stupid act?!""You shouldn't have touched his life!""Well I did, move on!""I should move on?!" "Are you crazy!! Do you know the implications of what you've just done?!""You don't seem to know the gravity of what you've done!" "It's the fact that you're not even remor
The next day...Lyra stirred slowly in her sleep and her eyes fluttered open. She sat upright as she took in her environment. She was in her room, a glass of water and a tablet of aspirin sat on the side table.She groaned as she felt a throbbing pain in her head. She felt a sneeze coming and she raised her elbow, sneezing into it. She quickly reached out for the medicine, tossed one into her mouth and gulped it down with the glass of water. She sniffed as she placed it on the table again. Bless whoever had thought to bring her that. Now the question was who brought her home? She had remembered being in the forest last night, crying her eyes out when the rain began falling and she finally blacked out. So how the hell was she in her house again?She made to stand up but her feet wobbled and she sat back on her bed. She was feeling so weak and tired in every part of her muscles and she could feel her body burning up already. How long had she stayed in the rain yesterday? She should hav
Starlight PackLater that night...Lyra trudged tiredly into the house, her feet ached from walking around the town, her cheeks stained with tears. Immediately she pulled the door open and walked in, the cold evening air wafted the sensuous aroma of her favorite food into her nostrils and she sighed.On a normal day she'd be eager to go into the kitchen and devour the food, but today, things were different. She didn't even have the appetite to eat anything. Either ways, she dragged her feet into the kitchen to take a peek at who was cooking and get herself a glass of water."Lyra" she heard Xavier call her name once she stepped foot in. Hazel, turned in at that moment and smiled at her."Hey, " Hazel greeted and she just forced a smile at her."Want some?" Hazel pointed towards the food she was cooking."No thanks" she replied and that moment Xavier walked in."Where have you been all day?"She walked closer to him, standing only a few feet away."Did you or did you not know the real
Killian watched in frustration and Lyra stared back at him in something that resembled anger, hate and disappointment and that was all it took to bring everything in him crashing down.She turned back and walked out, slamming the door harder then necessary. "Great work dude, congratulations on getting our mate angry" Gerald snarled from inside."Just shut up Gerald" he snarled equally and when his wolf made to reply , he shut him out completely.He wasn't about to listen to Gerald blame him for all that happened, even if he knew quite well it was his fault.He sighed as he reached for the door, and walked out.However was he going to get to talk to Lyra? How the hell was he going to convince her? Was she even going to listen?!He remembered how angry she had gotten, when Eliza had pretended to be her, but now things were different, her mother died for him, he had no sensible explanation to give for that. Just as he made his way out of the house, Sebastian walked up to him."Killian"
Earlier....Lyra had finished breakfast thirty minutes ago, showered, changed into a comfortable dress and decided to talk a walk around the pack house, since Killian wasn't back from the meeting, somehow she found herself in the Dungeon.Moving past the bars where some rogues and offenders were kept, she stopped in front of the cell where Eliza was kept when she was still alive ."Luna" the guards bowed as soon as she stopped in front of the gate.She gave a small smile ."The keys?"She noticed their hesitation so she quickly added."It's fine, I already talked to Killian, and he's fine with it"The guard looked at his colleague in hesitation, but nodded anyways and opened the door of the small cell.She stared around the room and realization suddenly hit her. She had remembered placing tiny surveillance cameras at strategic positions in the packhouse, including her house and the school, just for security reasons and she had placed one of it right in Eliza's cell.She quickly reache
Killian walked into the bedroom, holding a tray with a plate of pancakes and a steaming cup of tea on it . He carefully set the tray on the side table and crouched on the floor.A small smile formed on his face as he stared at Lyra's sleeping figure. His hands left his sides as his fingers traced her cheeks.How was he even going to bring himself to tell her, that he was the main reason she couldn't have a happy life with her parents, that he was the reason behind her mother's death. Lyra was going to hate him for that, and he hated it, because he wouldn't be able to live without her. He needed to tell her before she finds out from someone else, but how was he going to bring himself to do that? Suddenly Lyra's eyes fluttered open and she groaned lowly, as she stirred in the bed. Killian shifted backwards as he watched her sit upright on the bed, resting on the bedhead."How long have you been sitting there, staring at me?" She asked softly, a small smile on her face."Not quite long"
Same DayEmpty. The house was empty and looked like a normal human house. There was nothing special. Maybe coming in herewas a bad idea, but still there had to be something, the police had ransacked his house, yes, but there could still be something there.The loud sound from her phone, pierced through the silent house causing her to abruptly stop her search. She fished out the phone from her pocket, her eyes widening once she saw the name flashing on the screen.Killian. She had been engrossed in her search she forgot they had plans.She quickly swiped across the screen, answering the call."Hey babe, where'd you go?""I went for a walk, I'd be in the pack house soon""Alright, stay safe"She clicked on the hang up button and the call ended. She shoved it back into her pocket and turned around to leave. Just as she did, her eyes caught a small black object peeking out from a flower vase on the center table. She walked briskly to it and reached for the vase, retrieving the object. A
Back at the service Apartment"How did this happen?!" Killian asked immediately he walked into the house."I have no idea also, I just got called by the police today to be informed about his death," "What killed him?!" Lyra asked."They said food poisoning" Xander replied and they both gasped."Food poisoning?!" They called together "How did his food get poisoned!" Killian asked."Didn't you guys say it's safe in there,""Are you sure this people aren't trying to pull a fast one on us ?!" Killian asked in a whisper."I don't think so, I saw his corpse,""I suspect something fishy also, but I don't think it's from the police end, they're as transparent as ever!""They are carrying out an investigation on it and they promise to contact us soon," Xander explained."I already dropped contact details,""We should go back to the pack now," he added."This doesn't seem right!" Lyra protested."I know, but what can we do, nothing!" Xander replied and they nodded slowly."You guys should pac
