Next day ....Lyra slowly walked into the living room pulling the rack where her drip was on gently behind her."Lyra!" Hazel murmured as she stood up beside Xander immediately Lyra walked into the living room."Look, I'm really sorry for whatever happened between us in the past" "I won't try to defend or justify all I did and said to you!""I felt so insecure about you being Killian's mate, and I came at you even when you didn't attack me""I realized how bad of a person I was to you, when I faced death in Eliza hands, I realized you didn't deserve any of the treatment you got from me!" "I realized you were pure hearted and sincerely trying to help""You asked if I would be apologizing if your brother wasn't my mate but you didn't let me answer it""Yes Lyra, I would be apologizing, I felt bad for how I treated you and knew I needed to apologize, even when I didn't know I was mated to him" she whispered."I have no idea how to express how sorry I am but I'm sorry, I really am and I
"She went missing shortly after Eleanor died and you got missing!""Eliza claimed to have being the one who kidnapped her and handed her over to werewolf hunter""But that was all the information we got from her!" Xander explained as she wailed by bluey's grave side."Not Bluey! Shouldn't have been bluey! Shouldn't have been anybody!" She wailed repeatedly."We searched everywhere for her," Xander continued."But we only found her yesterday evening already dead !" He said and her crying intensified.After a while her tears reduced and she dropped the flowers carefully by the grave stone, and stood up, her heart hardened in a firm resolve."This madness has got to stop!""Eliza might be gone, but she has done a work that would haunt us for the rest of our lives if we're not careful!!""We have to find that Werewolf hunter!" She gritted."He can't keep killing our children like this!""Killian and the rest of us are working on it already, we'll make sure to find whoever it is as soon as
They disengaged from the short kiss and stared into each other's eyes.Lyra's heart was racing as she looked into Killian's eyes. She couldn't deny the intense connection between them, but at the same time, she was scared to let herself fall too deeply.But before she could even finish her thought, she found herself leaning in again, drawn to Killian's lips like a magnet. As their lips met, Lyra felt a rush of emotions wash over her - desire, love, and a sense of belonging.Killian's arms wrapped around her, pulling her closer as they kissed deeply. Lyra's fingers tangled in his hair, holding him close as she surrendered to the overwhelming feelings coursing through her body.When they finally broke apart, they were both breathing heavily. Killian rested his forehead against hers, and Lyra could feel the warmth of his breath on her skin."I love you Lyra!" He whispered and she nodded slowly as she slowly circled her hands around his waist and press her body against him."Do you accept
The following week ....Monday Morning....Lyra opened the door to step out of the house and she was greeted by Killian in front of the house leaning on his car with a small smile on his face."Killian?!" She called immediately as she slammed the door shut and walked up to him."What are you doing here?!" "Don't you have stuff to do?!" She asked and he shook his head as he stood up straight and moved closer to her."Good Morning Love," he whispered in reply and she shook her head."That's not what I'm asking!""I promised to drive you to work on your first day back right ?! Did you think I was joking?!" He asked and she exhaled deeply."I was hoping you were!" She replied and he laughed."Well I'm not, Let me help you into the car and let's get going" he said as he headed towards the other side and opened the door for her."But I go to work with Maximilian everyday," she replied."You have me now, you don't have to!" He replied."That seems unfair, I can't just throw him under the bu
Dowgar's packQuinn and Rowan stood Infront of Theodore's bed as they stared at him looking pale and almost lifeless."For how long is he going to remain like this?!" Quinn asked in a whisper as she wiped the tears that fell carelessly down her face.After the fight with starlight pack four days ago, Theodore had remained in a state of unconscious, Lyra got him really bad, the only reason he still remained alive was his status as an Alpha wolf, an ordinary wolf would have died at the spot."Honestly, I have no idea also" Rowan replied as he slowly moved closer to her and circled his hands around her shoulder comfortingly."I warned you guys about this, I warned him and now this silly thing is going to cost him his life!" She lamented."There were better ways to get revenge!""You shouldn't be saying these things Quinn, you should support him now more than ever!" Rowan said to her and she nodded slowly, "I'm trying to, I just can't help it!" "I can't bare to see him this way!" "Kill
Later that day ...."You want me to go with you?!" Lyra asked looking up at Jada."Yes, obviously!""It's your job plus it's what the Alpha wants !""I thought you wanted to help around, well you can start with this!" She said and Lyra nodded slowly."Wow!""I had no idea an orphanage was in this town, what school do they attend?!" She asked."They have a school around them!" She replied."Wow! Only orphans attend the school?!" Lyra replied."Not really," "The school the orphans attend is sort of like a public school, built by the park government!""Where you work on the other hand is a private school owned by a park member!""So those that cannot afford to take their children to the private school attends the public school!" Jada explained."Wow! I had no idea there were many sides to this" Lyra said and Jada smiled, "Well now you know!""Let's get going, it's getting quite late!" Jada hurried as Lyra stood up from behind her desk and they headed for the door."I've still not heard
At the Parkhouse ...."Woah!" "This is serious, why didn't you tell me immediately!" Jada said immediately Lyra narrated what happened earlier."First thing tommorow, I'll get someone to rebuild the fence!" Killian said "Even more than that, you should actually send warriors who would guard the area, atleast until the hunter is caught!" Lyra said and Killian nodded slowly."I'll do just that!" He said."What did you say was the inscription on his wrist again?!" Sebastian asked and they all turned to look at him."Tirich " Lyra replied and Sebastian immediately arched forward to the shelf there in Killian's study and brought down the book they found in the past week at the abandoned hut."It definitely is the hunter!" He said, they all stood up and looked at the book."Tirich" was boldly written in front of it, it was sort of like a journal, but what was inside still remained like a mystery to them."Where and when did you find this?!" Lyra asked and they looked up at her."It's a lo
Lyra slowly moved backwards as she thought of all what Killian had just said to her.She slowly sat back on the chair as she reminisced on all of her actions to him.He was actually right, she hadn't been treating him well enough as he did her.She had tried to cover her feelings and she did an absolutely bad job hiding it.She quickly brought out her phone and tried calling Jada, atleast she's a woman too and she would understand her and give her appropriate advice, seeing as her relationship was equally successful, plus she knows the ways of the wolves."Hello?!" Jada answered at the other end immediately she picked up."Hello?" She called again."Jada, I need to talk to you!" She said tearing up afresh again."Hello?!""Hello?!" Jada kept repeating."Jada can you hear me?!" Lyra asked again, them there was a loud scratching sound before the call finally ended.She tried calling again but the line was no longer going through."Damn this network!" She growled as she bursted out in te
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
