LYRA.

I've been avoiding Sage since our heated argument yesterday and I like the fact that he got the message and let me be.

I needed space away from him from all this the thought of what my uncle had put me through still lingered in my head.

I know Uncle to be a devious wicked money monger but I didn't think it'd reach this extent.

Uncle was more than ready to eliminate any obstacle that stands in his way and it scares me that Sage had to be part of it.

Alone tears slip from my eyes which I hurriedly wipes off due to the sound of the doorbell.

I got up walking towards the door sucking back in the remaining tears that had threatened to spill

Slipping open the door I am met with Angela's worried gaze. I bit on my lower lip trying s hard to fight back a hiss as I turned away avoiding her gaze.

She walks in tailing behind me

"You shouldn't be here Angel," I say trying to reason with her.

I didn't need her sympathy and right now I had better things to worry about that.

He's my husband you can't stop me from seeing him" I say my breath hardening as I send Sierra glares which cut her off guard. "Lyra, please... you need to be careful. Sage is... unstable. He's hurt, and his powers are wild. If you go in there, he could hurt you without even meaning to."I pushed past clause, my eyes fixed on the door. "I don't care. I need to see him."Angela grabbed my arm, her grip tight. "Lyra, listen to me. He's not himself right now. He's at his most powerful, and that's dangerous. For you, for everyone."I wrenched my arm free, my voice firm. "I don't care about the danger none of y

    LYRA "Why are you doing this?" Sage asked cutting the silence that filled the thin air. I ignored continuing to attend to his wounds by cleaning them up and redressing them. I don't exactly know why I am doing this as well. Was it for my uncle's threats or was it out of true piety I felt towards him? I'm not very sure though so I don't have an exact answer to the question. "Are you going to pretend you didn't hear me or what?" He says yet again seizing my actions and drawing me back to reality. I let out a sigh finally drawing my stare back to his dominating once that sends shivers running down my spine. "I don't have anything to say to you Sage," I say darting my eyes. He shifts a bit, "I'm sorry" he states more as a mumble. My brows frown in confusion wondering if I heard wrong or did he just apologized. No, I heard wrong. "I know we didn't start up on the right foot and I've been a little too hard on you even though we were both forced into this--" I cut him off bef

    LYRA I stare at my reflection in the mirror, transformed. The gown I wore was a piece of perfection hugging every curve of mine. The silk fabric clings to my skin, showcasing my figure in a way that makes me feel so different. The dress is a deep, rich blue, almost purple, almost like Sage knew exactly what to pick out for me all the time. It's an offshoulder with long lace sleeves flowing. I know this date was supposed to be casual but Sage didn't think as I did. He was hell-bent on making it a bit overboard. Disappointing I must say, if only he knew. My makeup is light, I made sure to make it as simple as I could as I didn't even know how to do it in the first place. My hair was packed into a bun. He had wanted to send in someone to help me get dressed but I told him it was very unnecessary. The things Sage has been doing these days are very alarming. It's like he is turning into a completely different version of himself, one that I thought I'd never get to see b

    LYRA "Are you enjoying yourself?" He asks snapping me out of my train of thought. I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding gulping my water before nodding with a slight smile. "Tell me more about yourself Lyra." He adds. I know he was trying to pick up conversation and I want to help by giving lag responses. "There's nothing much to say really. I've been living with my uncle and aunt all my life. I didn't grow to know my parents, I lost them at a very tender age and the only memory I have of them is," I pulled out a locket from my neck showing it. I saw a mix of piety in his eyes to which I shrugged. "I'm sorry about that," He says. I nod, "It's fine. It's not your fault." "You're very beautiful Lyra, you know that right?" He suddenly says cutting me off guard. My cheeks swelled up his words getting to me. The soft glow of the candles and the gentle hum of the restaurant's ambiance did little to ease the tension between us. He was trying to pick up so

    LYRA. "Are you sure about this?" He asked with pure lust in his eyes. I could feel his wolf growling inwardly as much as Nyx was on fire. I didn't want to rethink this, right now I wanted nothing but to be satisfied, I wanted him to take me raw. I nod instantly drawing him for a kiss to which he smirked. He began to undress me fully while doing the same till we were both naked. As my eyes met his bulge I gulped down a lump at how big he was, wondering if he'd ever fit in. He felt my fear so he leaned into my neckline trailing kisses to calm my racing heart, "I won't hurt you Lyra, I'll take it easy" he mumbled in between kisses. I didn't say a word but rather a moan sprung free from my lips as I ran my hands through his hair. "Do you want me to use protection?" He asked lifting to burn his eyes into mine. It was pointless using protection after all he needed a pup and I also didn't want a thing standing in between us. I wanted it raw. I shake my head, "It's fine"

    LYRA I stirred on the bed feeling morning sunlight around my face making me squint my eyes a low-grown slip from my lips. My eyes split open feeling my whole body sore and foreign. Memories of yesterday came rushing down making a brush creep on my cheek as I struggled to lift my eye scanning the room for his figure which was nowhere to be found. I got up biting on my lower lip as the pain surged within me. I picked up his shirt and put it on before making my way outside the room to find him. I met him in his study room his attention fully on the phone call he was having which seemed to tense up the environment. He turned perceiving my presence a small smile tugging on his lips as he motioned for me to come. I bit on my lower lip fighting back a grin that threatened to slip as I walked to him. He drew me to him placing a lingering kiss on my forehead drawing completely into him. "Alright run some checks I'll try and drop by later, we'll see what we can do then,"

    SAGE Just as I cut off from the call with Damien my eyes dropped on my sexy Luna dressed in one of my shirts. Her slender thighs were exposed to my ravaging eyes. It's been a week since I marked her' and everyday, I want nothing but more of her. I gulped down a lump wondering if she even had anything under it with dirty thoughts wandering on my head here and there. My jawline hardened as I felt the big man down there already getting hard. Memories of our passionate moment washing down. Lyra is the type of meal one could never get tired of having. God knows how many rounds I would have gone if I hadn't controlled myself from hurting her. I walked towards her as my gaze burned into every inch of her. Right now I wanted nothing but to Fuck sanity out of her. To feel her tight hot pussy clenched against my dick. The feeling alone was enough to make me cum. The effect she has on me and the big man is out of this world. None of the ladies I've fucked have given me enough pl

    Lyra’s POV.I wiggled around the chair trying to get off the ropes that bound me with the chair, anger and fear cursing through me as I stared at Xavier's dark deep orbs that exuded venom and the smug smile that spread against his lips."Why are you doing this, Xavier?" I spat, firing my words at him like bullets.His smile grew wider. "You're just a pawn in a bigger game, Lyra. This is about Sage. Don’t worry princess, I may or may not hurt, so I won’t make any promises” I wagged against the ropes trying to get free from them even though my efforts were in vain yet I didn’t waver, “What does Sage have to do with this? And why would you result to violence for whatever this has to do with” His eyes gleamed with malice. “He needs to learn the hard way, I plan on taking everything from him, anything that ever brought him happiness must be eliminated” I gulped down a lump batting my eyelashes as my eyes stung in tears, “You’re sick Xavier!

    I stood before my pack, my voice thundering through the walls."Twenty-four hours! That's how long Lyra's been gone. And what do I see? Nothing! No leads, no clues, no progress!" I roared.Goddamit!I should never have trusted anyone to pick her up. I should have done that myself.Part of me hoped that she didn’t leave me yet again. I thought we had sorted out our differences and now starting things afresh.What changed then?My gaze scoured the room, meeting the downcast eyes of my pack."Incompetence! That's what I'm surrounded by!"Jason stepped forward. "Alpha, we're doing everything we can—""Everything you can?" I roared, cutting him off. "If that were true, Lyra would be back here, safe and sound!"My fists clenched, nails digging into my palms. "I want results, not excuses!"Damien spoke up. "Sage, we've tracked every lead, every rumor. We've covered miles—""Miles? Miles mean nothing without Lyra!" My voice cracked with frustration.I paced, my eyes burning with anger and des

I paused asnmy heart dropped lifting up hurriedly, I came in contact with his stare.Memories of what happened last night came rushing back to me urging a growl that has him chuckling.My face carried a blush as my cheek heat up, hurridly hiding my face at the crool of his neck motrified.He burst into a fits of laughter holding onto my waist asbi cuddle deep into him, hiding from the embarrassment.“Stop” I mumbled.“If you keep doing that, I won’t be able to control myself anymore” he says making my brows furrow in confusion.“It won’t hurt to go for another round” he addsI chee on my lower lip the thought turning me on but I am still sour from last night, a good rest won’t hurt.I groaned, my embarrassment deepening."Last night was...unexpected," I stammered.Sage's fingers traced gentle patterns on my back.

    I measured out the sugar carefully so as not to miss the recipe "Lyra, you're lost in thought again," Angela said, nudging me with her elbow. I smiled sheepishly. "Sorry," I say trying to fight back the thoughts. Sage’s different behaviors have been getting to me these days. His efforts aren’t going unnoticed though I try as much as possible to make him believe that his actions weren’t getting to me or going to change my mind, I still stand to the fact that I won’t be giving us a chance. “What is wrong?” She questions with worry in her tune. I shrugged, “Nothing” trying to wave off the conversation but she wasn’t having it, it’s Angela after all. Letting out a sigh I paused my action on molding the dough, my shoulders sulking. “It’s Sage” Angela's expression turned curious. "What about him?" I cleared my throat proceeding to mix the dough. "He's been trying, Angela. Trying. But I'm not making it easy for him." Angela nodded thoughtfully. "You're still hurting Lyra,

    I collapsed onto the floor, my legs giving out on me as soon as the door clicked shut behind Sage. The sobs I'd been holding back erupted, shaking my entire body. Nyx, howled in sympathy making me cry even harder.How could he do this to me again? I thought I'd moved on, that I'd left the pain behind. But Sage's kiss had awakened something deep within me, something I couldn't ignore and I hated that.I didn’t want this for myself. My heart has already been broken once and I don’t want it to happen again. It’s breaking me.I wrapped my arms around my knees, rocking back and forth as tears streamed down my face. Why did I still feel this way? Why did my heart still race when he touched me?This isn’t supposed to be happening. He shouldn’t have this effect on me. Nyx's gentle nudges didn't calm me this time. My wolf sensed my pain, but even she couldn't soothe the storm raging inside me.I am left feeling conflicted and hurt. It saddens me that he feels as though he is still in contro

    I sat down on the edge of Sage's bed, my heart pounding loudly in my chest as I heard the door creak open, signaling Sage's arrival. Despite the turmoil of emotions inside me, I made a conscious effort to mask my face, trying to appear composed even though I was burning with discomfort. I don’t know if he is aware of my return but then I am sure his Wolf may have sensed it. I turned slightly away, my eyes fixed on a random spot on the floor, avoiding any direct eye contact with him as he entered the room. The tension between us was palpable, and I struggled to find the right words to break the uneasy silence but then again, I was the one wronged, so making an effort first is his go and not mine. “Lyra” he calls out his voice sounding foreign to my hearing, almost as though it was the first time he had ever called my name. The tingling was still there. “Thank you for coming back” he states urging me to stare right back at him and I hit him with a physically chang

    I sat alone in the room, Ryan's tiny hands wrapped around mine. His bright eyes sparkled as he chattered excitedly about his favorite cartoon."...and then, Mommy, Buzz Lightyear saved the day!" Ryan exclaimed.I forced a smile, my heart heavy with sadness. Knowing that I will be leaving him, the thought alone is frightening and suffocating.I have never been far away from him and the thought of that happening now wasn’t something that sat well with me.I trusted Luna and Henry to take care of my baby boy while I was away but I didn’t want to leave Ryan and couldn’t take him with me.The last thing I want is for Sage to find out about him even though it is his right as Ryan’s father, but no, he didn’t deserve any of us in his life. "I'm so proud of you, baby," I whispered, squeezing his hands.Ryan looked up at me with innocence and trust. "Mommy, what's wrong?" he asked, sensing my emotions.I quickly blinked away tears. "Nothing, sweetie. Mommy's just tired."Ryan nodded, accepting

    I stood before my mother-in-law, Luna, her piercing gaze trying to persuade me to return home with her. But how could I? After what Sage is to me.It's not even an option. I don't want to go back to my past. I want to move on completely and away from Sage or his family, but Luna is making it too hard for me."Lyra, dear, come home with me," she said, her voice laced with a gentle urgency. "We can work through this together, and I am not even asking you to return to him; we can settle for a divorce."My heart dropped at the mention of that. I don't exactly know how I felt after those words had left her mouth, but it sure didn't sound good to me.I hesitated, my heart still heavy with the wounds of Sage's betrayal. "I'm not sure, Aunt," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't want my heart broken again," I say biting on my lower lip.My eyes were already beginning to sting at the mention of Sage. He was my past, and I wanted things to remain as they were now.My life with

    Axel walked through the front door of his apartment, exhausted from the long day it had been. The martial arts session had completely drained the daylights out of him. He needed to get some rest, and part of him hoped that Raya was asleep, as he didn't have the energy to entertain any of her dramas, at least not today again. He knows she has so many unanswered questions, but when it is the right time, he will let her in on it, but for now, no. As he walked further into the house, his exhaustion quickly turned to shock. The room was in disarray—furniture overturned, vases shattered, and papers scattered everywhere. "Raya!" Axel called out, panic creeping into his voice. "Raya, where are you?" He rushed through the living room, eyes scanning the area for any sign of his wife. But she was nowhere to be found. His heart dropped as he let out a frustrating hiss, yelling out her name. "Raya, answer me!" Axel yelled, his panic turning to fear. He dashed into the bedroom, but it wa
