Lyra. I woke up on a hard surface urging me to sprint my eyes open only to fall on Sage's sleepy figure. My eyes widened in shock when he got here cause the last time I checked, he wasn't lying next to me and neither was I expecting him. He told me not to worry last night and to go to sleep early, that he'd be staying so late then why then what was he doing here? His hands on my waistline were light. I couldn't help but reach out to his brows, running my hands around them. A smile flattened on my lips feeling the tinglings. I couldn't help but muffle a giggle at how peaceful and cute he looked. "If you keep up with that, you may just unleash the beast within me princess" his deep voice came, making my heart drop. I make a move to get off him but he beats me to it by drawing me on top of him with his hold getting a bit tighter to prevent me from making any attempt to run off. "Stay like this and don't move" came out more as an order but unlike his usual dominating t
LYRA "I don't trust her Damien. I need to lure her down to get to Magnus, she's gullible enough to think I'm stupid enough to fall for her tricks" Sage says through his phone call My lips quivered as I peeped through his room standing like a statue as his words reached my hearing. Every piece of my heart-shattering. "She has to produce an heir for me before I reject her and I'm sure by that time we've gotten to achieve our main goal," He says yet again. A lone tear slipped from my eyes feeling his words getting to me like an arrow. I bit on my lower lip feeling the gravity of his words. I swallowed down a sob feeling the ache in my heart grow as I pulled back turning on my shoe. I ran to my room locking shut the door as I drew down to the ground finally letting the tears stream. I was stupid enough to give myself to Sage. I should have known that he was only using me. I agree that I may be working for my uncle but it is out of compulsion and if I had a choice I would
LYRA. I stared at Henry as though he had suddenly grown to heads hearing him say something as impossible. Tears accumulated at the brim of my eyes staring at him unbelievably. He held my hand seating me down just as a tear rolled down. It can’t be. “You’re lying to me” I sobbed out turning to finally stare at him burning my eyes into his in search of answers to what he had just told me. But I could see was sincerity. He was telling the truth after all. I shake my head as more tears slip out of my eye, “I can’t be pregnant” I cried out rubbing on my belly. It makes much more sense now, the constant mood swings, early morning sickness, and whatnot. I was pregnant. It's been four days since I had fled from the pack and I'm safe to say they were never going to find me. I bumped into Henry, a sorcerer who had saved me on my way to the southern pack claiming that I was digging my own grave if I dared to go there. I don't fully trust Henry for now but he wasn't as b
SAGE. "Alpha there's still no news about her" Jason states his head hung low avoiding my stare. I sneered in utter annoyance, "You have one job, and is to keep her under your nose but you were too busy doing god knows what!" He thundered. I bolt up my jawline gritting. "I don't care how you do it, make sure you find her" I hiss walking out of the study room. Lyra must be daft to think she'd run away from me. Just when I thought I got her right where I wanted to but seemed to me that she's not as gullible as I think she is. I met with Damien by the entrance of the penthouse giving me a loom of pity one that he knew I found annoying yet it wasn't going to stop him. "Mum is looking for you, she's been trying to reach you," he says. I hissed feeling like throwing him a punch for such information. I'm not even surprised that the news had gotten to Mum. It's been three days since she left and no tracks of her. She left no hint behind not even her smell and it annoys me that
Lyra The sun batted my face making my brows scrunch and my eyelids depart open. I growled feeling a sharp headache hit me hard making a growl slip from my lips. I manage to sit up leaning my back on the bed my stare roaming around the unfamiliar environment. I held it in my forehead feeling the sharp headache strike through. I bit on my lower lip trying to fight back the pain that I feel. Henry brought me here but then where is he? My stare roared around trying to spot his location yet to no avail. Sage's thought crossed my mind making me cry even harder than before. I'm sure the news of my disappearance reached him long before we left the area. Sometimes the way Sage keeps track of me, one could mistake it for care and protection when the truth is, that he didn't want me running away. Sage doesn't know how much damage he has caused. He led me on and let me think that there'd be something more between us is absurd. I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive him as
LYRA. "When Henry told me he had a guess he didn't mention she was this much beautiful" the elderly woman complimented with a warm smile plastered on her lips. I forced a tight-lipped smile as she drew me for a quick hug. I hear Henry growling, "Take it easy on her mother, don't scare her off," he says. My eyes widen in shock hearing him refer to her as mother. So she is his mother. "It's nice to meet you Raya," A girl around my age said standing beside the queen. I smiled back with a smile. "I'm Ashley, Henry's sister" she Introduced. The resemblance was uncanny, "Why don't you let me show her around?" She offers. Henry narrowed his stare at her, "She's not to be stressed, Ash--" She cuts off, "Come on brother, I can handle her. I promise to bring her home safely in one piece so chill out and trust me." I felt stuck in the middle. The warm stare the queen had on me made me feel a bit uneasy but it didn't make her as much uncomfortable. "Let them be Henry. Come with me,
I slammed my fist onto the table, my eyes blazing with frustration. "Two years!" I spat, my voice venomous. "Two years and not a single sign of Lyra! What is wrong with all of you?" My pack members cowered. "Alpha, we're trying our best," one of them says. I laughed, a harsh, mocking sound. "Your best? Your best isn't good enough! Lyra is still out there, and god knows if she's in one shape!" I hissed, my anger boiling over. "I can't sleep, I can't eat. All I can think about is finding her, and you're all failing me!" I glared at them, my eyes burning with disappointment. "You're my pack. And you're all letting me down." I slumped back in my chair, my head in my hands. I'm a mess, I whispered, my voice cracking underneath my breath. I'm a mess, and it's all because of her. I don't know when it happened or how but Lyra has taken a part of me that not even Veronica. How didn't I not notice? She has always been the one. I should have trusted Mum when she had made her choice mayb
