Who does he want me to meet? I pondered again.

"Maybe our mate misses us more than we can imagine," Sasha said.

I rolled my eyes at Sasha as I slipped into a flowing red gown, feeling a mix of nerves and anticipation.

As I smoothed down the fabric of my dress, my heart raced with a mix of curiosity and fear. What if I find that man with the evil smirk there

What if there is some kind of danger lurking in the shadows? Despite the uncertainty, I squared my shoulders and forced myself to push those thoughts aside. I had to be brave for myself. Whatever awaited me at the meeting, I was ready to face it head-on.

After making sure I looked my best and applying a bit of makeup, I stole a glance at the mirror, satisfied with my appearance.

To be honest, I was stunned by Lyra's bold behavior last night and the commanding aura she oozed.Watching Annie bow to her command was something else. My mind wandered to how her body had pressed against mine. Her nipple pointed out from her skimpy red nightie. Despite I tried to control my emotions, I knew I failed miserably.

I'm sorry to say it makes me feel dirty again," she says softly, gently moving her away from me.I look at Cara in shock, wondering what could be going through her mind to behave in such a manner.

I ask in a mocking tone.She stomps her feet like an erring child. "I'm not joking, Lyra.

"She said it before she passed away—she couldn't look into your eyes and ask for forgiveness."I nodded slowly, trying to grasp the significance of Kessler's words and where he was leading this conversation."Annie wants us to be the godparents to her baby," Kessler said hurriedly, as if the words were burning on his tongue.

    Kessler holds me close as if I mean the world to him. His scent is comforting. "Please, get me water," I tell him as he stands up, goes to the kitchen, and brings back a bottle of water. I sit up and look at Ryder, realizing he is almost lifeless on the floor. I guess it's the impact of the syringe he brought to inject me. I rushed to Ryder's side. My heart races as I check for signs of life, hoping for any flicker of movement. "Ryder, can you hear me?" I whisper, my voice trembling with worry.

I opened it and lo I was shocked to realize that it was no other than Ryder, I know I had just thought about him not being a good guy, but he just confirmed my suspicion by coming to my room. "What do you want?" I ask politely, trying my best not to be rude, but inside, I'm seriously annoyed. He smirks and pushes the door open, making his way inside without waiting for an invitation. I stand there, my annoyance growing as Ryder enters without any regard for my privacy or invitation. "I just wanted to talk," he says casually as if his intrusion is perfectly acceptable. "Well, I don't feel like talking right now," I reply curtly, crossing my arms over my chest. Ryder shrugs nonchalantly, unfazed by my obvious discomfort. "Suit yourself," he says, moving further into the room as if he owns it. I grit my teeth, feeling my patience wearing thin. "You need to leave," I say firmly
