LYRAI sat alone at the bar, gulping my beer and feeling like a stranger that I was.. The gala event was in full swing, with laughter and music filling the air, but I couldn't shake the feeling of not belonging. No matter how elegantly dressed I was, I knew I didn't measure up.I glanced around the room, searching for a familiar face, but Sage was nowhere to be found. He was probably off schmoozing with his business partners, leaving me to fend for myself. Again. I wasn't surprised. I knew how this game was played.Not that I cared. He had strictly warned me to not try anything funny and to lay low for as long as we were going to be here.The incident in the car still made me wince in embarrassment while gulping my seventh cup of alcohol. I can count the number of times I have had alcohol, let’s just we don’t work well together. But tonight I felt like I needed this to clear my mind on what has been going on lately.I took another sip of my beer, feeling the alcohol coursing through
LYRA He bit on my lower lip seeking entrance which was offered by a moan that escaped my lips. My legs felt wobbly as he kissed me harder as though I was his only salvation. He must have sensed my discomfort so he picked me up while I encircled my legs around his waist. Just in time, the elevator dinged making us screw back into position before the door completely slides open. An aged woman with a young one helping her by her side came into view as the door completely slammed open. The girl must have noticed what was going on due to the weird stares she shot both of me and Sage. Heat rises my cheeks watching Sage walk out with me tailing behind him like a lost puppy. I walked my heart hammering with each step I took to get closer to the room. I don't exactly know what was going on between us but it wasn't right, as much as we hated each other's guts then whatever game it was we were playing, it needed to stop. I watched Sage disappear into the room while I stood inches away f
SAGE. It's been one week since we got back from the goddamn trip and it's been one hell of a torture. We both haven't said a thing about what had happened that night and I don't know what's going on on her side but mine, I'm finding it quite difficult to maintain my sanity when I'm around her. Her smell alone makes me hard. The desire to bury me deep within he and get her out of my system burned through me. Every single day, I want her more than I want her the next day. The taste of her lips was still fresh in my mind, their tenderness as they moaned out my name while I drove her to her orgasm was like music to my ears. Lyra was making me lose my mind. That night I had to refrain every blood in my fiber from taking her hard as I could not just feel the same way but Kato. Kato never fails to growl at the sight of her. I've been doing a great job by avoiding her but it's starting to get hard especially since we live in the same house and must share the same bed. Seeing her
LYRA I walked into the office building, my heart racing as different thoughts wandered through my head. I had been preparing for this moment, and finally, I was here, about to interview for the role of personal assistant to the CEO of Bricks and Hammers I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves, and stepped into the elevator. As I entered the office, I was greeted by a stern-looking receptionist who pointed me to the CEO's office. I walked in, and there he was, sitting behind his massive desk, his face a picture of seriousness. "Miss Skye," he said, his voice firm but a little bit polite. "Please, take a seat." I sat down, trying to make myself comfortable, but my heart was still racing. "So, tell me, why do you think you're the best fit for this role?" he asked, his eyes piercing through me. "I believe my organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to multitask make me an ideal candidate," I replied, trying to sound confident. "And how would you handl
SAGE. "She's healing" Mum states snapping me out of my train of thoughts. I drew my stare away from Lyra moving them to my mother who has concern and as much worry as I am in her eyes. She offered a hand, "Walk with me" she ushers. I was a bit skeptical and Mum had noticed that. It's been a week since Lyra's attack and I've been a bit too overprotective on who walks in and out of the room. Mum smiled, "Don't worry, this house is guarded by top-notch pack members and securities you have nothing to worry about" she stated trying to sound convincing. Kato growled as much protective as I am. I nod letting out a breath and walking out with her. We walked out to the garden taking slow steps in a comfortable silence which I wished would go on as right now I want anything but to talk. "Lyra is going to be okay. She has healing abilities as you can see she must have not mastered them yet, that's why it's taking a little bit too long but she's going to be okay" She adds up
LYRA. I winced in pain as my eyes split open feeling my body all sore and numb. The room is extremely seen that I can barely see clearly as I roam my stare around trying to figure out where exactly I am yet to no avail. I bit on my lower lip feeling a sharp pain in my leg, struggling to sit up with thirst burning in my throat. 'Finally, you're awake' Nyx growled. My brows furrowed to as what she meant before memories of what had happened occurred to me making my eyes widen both in fear and in pain. The image of how the rogue had his burning stare on me sent shivers down my spine. But then who saved me? I can clearly remember a wolf standing in for me before I fell unconscious and where the hell am I? I looked around wanting to familiarize myself with the environment but I wasn't picking up anything. "Lyra" I hear Sage's mum call out from the opposite end walking towards me with concern and a wide smile. She sat next to me pulling me in for a hug, "I'm so
I sighed as I walked alongside Angela and Seira through the bustling streets of the shopping district. I had never been a fan of shopping, and doing it with my sister-in-law felt like nothing short of torture. Apparently it's a week until my father-in-law's birthday, so I had to tag along to get him a gift.Angela had bugged me until she managed to convince me before I agreed to come with her. "I can't believe we're doing this," I said, trying to hide my reluctance."I'm sorry for dragging you into this, but we really need to. Come on, it's a family tradition that you don't want to miss out on."She says she is trying to sound convincing."Yeah, because nothing says quality time like fighting over prices and waiting in lines," I muttered under my breath.Sierra chuckled. "fighting? Waiting?"She questions me like I said the most absurd thing before walking inside the shop."Come, Lyra, you'll see," Angela says, pulling me into one of the shops.As soon as we walked in, the warm air
LYRAI stood outside the building of Bricks and Hammer, a bit tensed as I gathered all the courage left in me before walking in. I received an email three days ago saying that I'd been offered the job, and to say I was excited was an understatement.I honestly didn't seem to be getting the job, but I did, and I'm grateful for that. I let out a breath as I reached the elevator, stepping in alone. Memories of the heated moment I shared with Sage in the elevator came flooding back, making me feel aroused.I bit my lower lip, clutching on the hem of my shirt, and just then the door dinged open.I really hope that there are no wolves lurking around; I bet they'd smell how turned on I was.Sage and I haven't really seen each other each other since I recovered from my injury.I don't know why he is so against me working for Xavier, but it's not going to hold me back regardless of what he thinks; I want to be independent.I don't want to be reliant on my in-laws wealth; I am very much in c
