Next day ....MassachusettsKillian, Lyra and Xander had moved into a service apartment they rented out in massachusetts."Since we have so many evidence, the court hearing would be in a few days," Xander said as he walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water and took his seat opposite Killian and Lyra, who were seated in each other's arms in the three seater couch."Have you talked to the lawyer you know?!" Killian asked and Xander nodded slowly."I have, he's down, he'll be representing us at the court," he said and Killian nodded slowly."Alright, that's good to hear" he said and Xander nodded slowly. "We need someone who understands the gravity of the situation and can present our evidence convincingly.""I should go in now and give you guys a little privacy," Xander said standing up."Thank you," Killian whispered."How are you feeling," Killian asked turning to look at Lyra as he kept on caressing her shoulder."I actually do feel better,""Knowing that my brother's death h
Massachusetts Prison Night ...."Aren't you one of the people that brought Maximilian Tirich in earlier today?!" "Yes I was,""Then why are you here to see him this late at night," "I just need to ask him some questions, " "I need to cover all bases, I just want to see him one last time before the court hearing,""Okay then, you have just twenty minutes, no more no less," the officiating officer said and led the way toward the prison where Maximilian was kept."Twenty minutes, no more no less!" He resounded before leaving them there."Get me out of here, or else I'll go on and spill!" Maximilian said immediately he saw who came to visit him."You'll go on and spill?!" "Okay then, let's see if you'd get another chance to spill!""Don't test my patience, get me out of here, or I'll tell everyone of your involvement with Eliza and every other thing after that!""And how you pretend to be the savior of your pack, when you're infact an accomplice!" Maximilian growled."If you know wha
The sun shone brightly over the picturesque landscape of Massachusetts,Killian stepped out of the car, taking in the sights and sounds of Massachusetts. The air was crisp, and there was an unmistakable sense of excitement in the atmosphere. Lyra, with a mischievous smile on her face, led the way, eager to show Killian all the fun places the state had to offer.It's been a while she felt this happy and it was obvious she planned to make the most of it."Marcus, would have wanted this for me," she had said to herself.As they walked through the vibrant streets of Boston, Lyra couldn't contain her enthusiasm. "Killian, I'm so excited to show you around! Massachusetts is full of history, culture, and incredible attractions. We'll have an amazing time today, I promise."Killian grinned, appreciating Lyra's effort to distract him from their pack worries. "I trust you, Lyra. Lead the way, and let's make the most of this day."As they strolled through the historic streets of Boston, Lyra p
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
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
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"
