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"
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 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"
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
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
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
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
The white pearly hairy werewolf ran through the woods with an angry determination, her muscles tensed and her eyes blazed with a fiery intensity. Her long legs propelled her forward with each stride, her powerful claws digging into the earth with each step.Her fur bristled with frustration, the pearly white now dulled by the anger that coursed through her veins. Her snarling lips revealed sharp teeth, as she sniffed the air in search of the source of her anger.She moved with a sense of urgency as if she was on a mission. Her ears were pinned back, and her tail was held low, a clear indication of her aggressive state. The wolf ran with a sense of purpose, driven by the need to find and confront whatever has provoked her.As she ran, she left a trail of destruction in her wake. Her claws tore into the ground, and branches snapped and break as she pushed through the dense forest. Her howl echoed through the woods, signaling to any other creatures that she is not to be trifled with.The

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
