****Lyra was walking out of her class, lost in her own thoughts when she suddenly saw Maximilian walking out of his class. She stopped in her tracks, surprised to see him at that moment. Lyra cleared her throat, as she shut the door to her class and waited for Maximilian to walk up to her. "I was actually coming to see you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Max raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Really? Why?""Why not?!" She said as they began walking together towards the main entrance."It's my first day here and alot is already happening!""I heard a pup is missing?! What going on?! Your Alpha and his entourage didn't explain clearly to me !" "Our Alpha!" Maximilian corrected."That's by the way Max, what do you know about the missing pup and how exactly did it happen?!" She asked and he just went silent staring at his feet as they walked."Do you not know anything about it?! Say something!" She urged."The missing pup is actually a pupil of my class, and the one before
Later that evening ...."You should have told me," "You should have trusted me enough to tell me the truth.""I tried to! I really really tried to but stuff were happening here and there and we really couldn't talk, I'm sorry" Lyra whispered."What do we do now?!" Marcus asked."Why is this up for debate, he almost rejected me when we first met, I can actually reject him now and we'll be free to go our separate ways ""Since it's the mate pull making him head over heels for me" "It's not that easy, you can't just reject without a solid reason, it's almost like a court divorce,""The judge won't grant you one unless you have a valid reason to want to be divorced!" Marcus explained and she rolled her eyes."You have to accept it," Marcus whispered as he turned to face Xander, he snapped his head up immediately."What?!" Marcus asked with a small shrug,"That's our best bet, besides you promised Killian to talk to Lyra on his behalf, which automatically meant you'll talk to her about ac
Meanwhile .....Dowgar's pack ...."Did they accept our offer?!" Theodore asked his best friend and soon to be Beta- Rowan who was seated Infront of him."They haven't given a reply yet!" "I heard starlight pack offered them a fifty fifty benefits!""They're quite confused at the moment,""Increase it to Eighty -twenty!" Theodore said and Rowan snapped his head up immediately."You must be joking!, At that rate our pack will go bankrupt, we can't keep up with that!""Obviously we won't!" Theodore whispered sinisterly as he stood up from where he was seated."We obviously won't add that to the agreement, we just need to get them on our side before the night of the full moon!""There, I want to announce my intention of overthrowing starlight pack and making us the head of all Twelve packs around here!" "Why so concerned about Blue crescent pack though""The night of the full moon is in Twelve days and here we are still wasting time waiting for Blue crescent to make a decision!""We ne
"We keep going from frying pan to fire, how do we explain this?!" Sebastian muttered as he paced the hospital's hallway."We still haven't gotten any meaningful bases on the missing pup! Now we have go on an wild goose chase mission on who did this to the Alpha?! Who exactly in this pack has that power!" "Can't you see it?! I'm sure who ever did this did it on purpose!" "They're trying to divert our attention from that Missing Pup!" Jada imputed."Did you happen to see anyone or anything, any hint when you walked in?!" Xander asked turning to Lyra."I have no idea!" She replied, almost yelling her face already red and messed up with tears.Never had she felt the kind of fear she felt today, she still hasn't gotten over it."I didn't look around, Immediately I saw him on the floor I raised an alarm, I didn't wait to look around or anything!" ."That's alright!" Jada whispered as she walked over to Lyra and put her hands around her comfortingly."I'm sure it must have being horrible a
Next day ....Morning 7:00am ....At the school Lyra walked into the school, her head bent as she stared intently at the floor carefully taking her steps one after the other.Her mind was swirling with different thoughts, she hadn't been the same ever since she saw Killian in a pool of his own blood.She has been rather different and disoriented, probably because she has never seen anyone in that horrible state."Lyra!" She paused immediately as she turned towards the direction of the voice."Oh Max!". She said with a small exhale as she walked back to where he stood, she had already walked passed him without even noticing he was standing there or waving out to her."I'm really sorry, I didn't see you there " she said and he nodded slowly."That's alright! I understand " he said as he grabbed her hands and led her to his classroom.The pupils hadn't began to come in so his classroom was empty."How are you feeling this morning?!" He asked as he made her sit on his chair and he stood
Later in the afternoon ..."Thank you so much Miss Lyra for this, we deeply appreciate you!" The Elementary school headmaster said to Lyra and she nodded with a smile."And there's something else I wanted to ask of you," she whispered and he nodded urging her to go on."I'm not sure if it's in my place to ask for this but I'll like to be in charge of the school bus, like be the bus attendant!" Lyra said her voice unsteady unsure if she was pushing the limit already.The headmaster's expression boosted her courage and she continued,"I don't know, I just feel inclined to do more for this pack!" She said."Of course! You're our Luna it's in your place to ask!" He said and she released a light nervous chuckle."But have you discussed this with your brothers or the Alpha before coming up to me?!" She asked."Nope, I didn't, they won't let me do it anyway!""You don't have to make it look like I asked, you just have to appoint me that's all!""And what will happen to the previous bus atten
"I want accept the mate bond!""I'm gonna accept the mate bond!""You do?!""Are you beiserious right now?!" "Never been more serious!" She replied."What are you doing here anyway?!" She asked and he slowly raised his brows at her."Are you no longer going to Eleanor's parent's house?! Are you giving up because of whatever Hazel said to you?!""Yeah right! Ofcourse not!" She replied as she clutched her bag tightly and slung it over her shoulders."Let's go!""Lyra! Calm down the exit is this way!" Maximilian said pointing the other way and she nodded firmly before turning again and heading for the exit."Are you nervous?!" Maximilian asked as they got into his car."Oh Nonsense!" She replied immediately as she did her seat belt."She's not enough to make me nervous!" She said and he nodded slowly."If you say so!" He whispered as he did his seat belt also, turned on the ignition, stepped on the accelerator and zoomed off.As they drove down the road, Lyra couldn't help but feel a kn
"Hear what?!" "Heart beat!""Really?!""Heartbeat?!""So asides tracking stale scents you hear heartbeats too?!""Come on now! You're probably just overthinking!""Only vampires have the ability to hear heartbeats of someone that is far away!!""This is not my imagination Max, please listen to me, I can hear it!!" She said."And since when did you start hearing people's heartbeats?!""I don't know?!" "Now?!" She replied her voice clearly evident of uncertainty."At this point one would think that this is a skit!" He said."I'm not joking Max, let's follow it quickly" she said pulling him along."Fine!"The heartbeat Lyra was hearing led them to a small deserted hut."Now this is scary!" Maximilian muttered but Lyra was too engrossed in her zeal to bring back Eleanor that she didn't notice the scary details of where they're in or the comments Maximilian just made.As they walked into the hut, Lyra put on the flashlight of her phone and carefully looked around searching the nook and c
