Lyra’s POV

The time spent with Jack makes me angrier than I can imagine. It stirs up so many emotions that I try my best to suppress, but I just can't help it.

As I walk through the hallway attached to the dungeon, trying to find my way to my room, I can't help but wonder: Why is my life so complicated? First, my mother denies the bond I thought I had with her, and now Jack tells me how he hates my dad.

Each step feels like a struggle against the tangled web of emotions swirling within me. Confusion, anger, and a profound sense of betrayal fill my mind.

"My dear, I'll allow you to ponder on the snippet I've told you," Jack's words keep ringing in my head like a mantra.

He is responsible for my father's death, and the fact that Kayla knows about this fuels the raging anger in my heart.

Every time I close my eyes, I see flashes of memories, the moments with my father that were stolen by Jack's betrayal.

"But how did he do it?" I mutter, my mind racing with questions. Kessler claims he k

    Conor skeptically looks at me, unsure if he should tell me what's up or just let it go. He opens his mouth, wanting to say something, but I beat him to it and say, "Please, don't tell me. It's not my story to tell.”Conor's expression softens, understanding my concern. "I wasn't about to say that, but rather, I wanted to say... before you rudely interrupted me," he says, stalling and smiling mischievously, clearly enjoying teasing me. "Oh, stop keeping me in suspense," I playfully retorted, eager to hear what he had to say.Gosh, I love this place. I can't remember the last time I've been carefree with anyone. It's either I'm uptight or skeptical about something."Lyra," he calls out, breaking my train of thought, "you're doing that again.""Oh, sorry. I can't help it. But take me as I am," I reply in a sing-song mood, embracing my quirks with a smile.Conor chuckles softly, appreciating my playful response. "Of course, I'll take you as you are."

Every moment without her feels like an eternity. I can't bear the thought of her being out there alone.

His attempts to keep it subtle, it was glaringly obvious. Doubts about his loyalty begin to cloud my thoughts. But deep down, a nagging feeling tells me that Shawn's involvement may hold the key to her disappearance.I sti

    I stand up abruptly, pondering what my father said. I can't hold still as many thoughts race through my mind, like what if... I don't want to believe my thoughts, so I ponder more about the possibility of what he said. Finally, I asked him. "What did you mean by that, Dad?" I inquire, my voice trembling slightly "He meets my gaze with a reassuring smile, sensing my unease," I say as an Alpha. "When you have an heir born, you'll always feel that drain of power, like an aura transfer." "Okay," I responded, trying to process the information. "Then, Zach, talk to me through the mind link. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I reach out to Zach, hoping to find clarity. "I resign to fate," I say with a heavy heart, addressing Zach through the mind link. "At this point, I don't know for sure." Turning to my father, I ask again, "When did you feel this?" My father's gaze holds a mix of anticipation and hope as if he's longing for confirmation of what he suspects. "A few days ago."

    She was shaken, and I couldn't care less for what I'd been through just to fulfill her father's desires when he threatened to sever ties with us."I've been left conflicted, and she had to pry on my vulnerable state to gain her way with me," I mutter under my breath, feeling anger and betrayal at being manipulated by her devious tactics.She whimpered, and my wolf threatened to burst out, but I felt a hand on my shoulder trying to pacify me. I took a deep breath, consciously relaxing my tense muscles, and released her from my grip.I knew I had to be careful, especially considering her pregnancy. I couldn't risk anything happening to her or her baby. She was my responsibility, at least for now, until all investigations were carried out and the truth revealed.I realized the tension in the room needed to be diffused, so I gently moved Annie closer to me. She seemed surprised by my sudden display of tenderness after our earlier outburst.With a loving smile, I looked into her eyes. "Anni

    I'm startled. "For fuck's sake, I just had my bath, and you're engulfing me in a hug. 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. But her voice is somber as she asks, "Don't you like it here?"I stare at her in disbelief, wondering what she means by "don't you like it here.""Care to explain, ma'am?" I ask in a mocking tone.She stomps her feet like an erring child. "I'm not joking, Lyra. Don't you like it here?"Then it occurred to me that she thought I was serious when I said I would go back to Northville to continue what I started there. She truly believes I'm considering leaving."Please don't leave us again, your time away from us was hell, and Kessler might not admit it, but it was torture for him not to have you around."I swallow hard, feeling the weight of her words.

    She has this contemplative look like she's debating whether to tell me something or not. But trust me, I won't accept a no for an answer.And I have no intention of pressuring her. I move closer, gently squeezing her shoulder. She places her hand on mine, acknowledging my presence. Her gaze seems distant, and she fidgets with her nails, a sign of nervousness.

I try to brush it off, but it's hard not to notice.She pauses as if trying to piece together her thoughts.

    Kessler’s POVI don't like it when Lyra stays mad at me. I didn't know she was going to take the role of godmother to Annie's baby. Given what Annie had done to her, I had my doubts. So, I followed her to her room to be sure she'd stop being mad at me. When she complains about her leg, all I want is to massage her legs and make her feel better.Her moan makes my member twitch in my trousers; I can sense she wants me. There's no doubt I want her, but I want my time with Lyra to be special again. Dang, I can't think straight when I catch a whiff of her arousal. With hurried steps, she heads into the bathroom. I can tell she is embarrassed; she takes her time in there. But when she steps out in her towel, all I want is to take her right there and make her scream my name.She looks at me, surprised to see I’m still in the room. I need to take control of my emotions; I want her as much as she wants me. With a smirk, I walk closer to her, noticing her expectant gaze. I run my hand through he

    When Kessler called me "Sunshine" and mentioned there was something else, my curiosity piqued. I could sense his uncertainty, but I leaned in, asking, "What is it?""I know she did many things to you that she wasn't proud of," he began. "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. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across my face. Playfully, I smacked him on the chest and teased, "Is that what was taking you forever to say?"Kessler chuckled, a weight lifted off his shoulders. "Yes, I wanted to make sure you were okay with it.""Of course," I replied with sincerity. "We'll be great godparents. But you hurt my feelings, Kessler, for thinking that I would say no to being the godmoth

    Kessler’s POV With hurried steps, we made our way to the pack hospital. I wonder what might have gone wrong for my attention to be needed at the hospital, but I was grateful that Lyra was right by my side. The thought of anything happening to Lyra filled me with dread as I remembered what had happened in her room. As we approached the hospital, my heart raced with worry. The memory of finding Lyra in distress in her room flashed through my mind. It's a relief that Lyra was able to control her powers without harming the baby. Ryder must have taken advantage of the situation, knowing we were all focused on Annie's well-being. I wondered if there was a connection between Ryder's actions and Annie's condition. Regardless, I made a mental note to investigate the matter swiftly. The safety and security of our pack were important and we needed to uncover the truth to protect everyone. Many serious issues have happened within my pack, and I can no longer afford to overlook them. We arr

    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. Fear grips me as I realize I could have been almost lifeless like him, and I doubt I would survive it. I can't begin to imagine the trauma that would follow. Someone wants me dead for sure, and now I don't think Ryder can say anything to reveal who sent him. I was consumed with worry, but my thoughts turned to Julie. How would she handle the revelation that her mate is not who she believes him to be? Just then, Kessler walked in with the bottle of water in hand and handed it to me. "Thank

    I was tired and I had to put my clothes back on, wondering who it could be, dragging myself to the door. 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
