LYRA'S POV

Lyriq returns with a blue wool T-shirt and a matching skirt.

He hands me the clothes and avoids my gaze when he says, " I didn't see any medical kit, so you'd have to do a walk with the bruise."

I shake my head, grateful and carefully collect the clothes from him. He turns around which surprises me.

" Thank you." I mouth and he hums.

Lyriq is one person I would never expect to help me. I actually thought he was going to murder me after he killed Henry or he'd probably even enjoyed the sight of me being assaulted, but it's eerie how he saved— no— stopped Henry.

I change into the new clothes and watch as his body tenses at every second I take while putting it on.

" You can turn around now," I say and he turn slightly as if to check if I'm lying or not before he fully turns to look at me.

His eyes hang on my face for a brief second before he scowls, walks to Henry's dead body, and easily drags out the knife from his neck. He takes my rags from me and uses them to wipe away t

    LYRA'S POVThe moment I knock the torch from Kymon's grip, the entire place erupts with frantic murmurs and gasps.His piercing eyes snap to mine—shocked at first, then darkening with fury, laced with something wicked. But I don't care. Right now, there are only two outcomes: either Caspian and I die, or Kymon does.Keeper and an Omega step forward, ready to attack, but Kymon raises a hand, his unreadable gaze never leaving mine. At least now, Cas isn't in his grasp."Leave her," he orders, his voice eerily calm, though the storm beneath it is unmistakable. He drops his arm, tilting his head slightly. "I must admit, I'm surprised you actually kept your word.""You must have been expecting otherwise," I counter, matching his expression.He studies me in silence for five long seconds, then his lips curl into a slow, taunting smirk. "You have no idea, my dear."I grind my teeth. "I am not your dear—""Oh, but you are."He laughs. Actually laughs, as if something about this is amusing. As

    Adena's POV Sweat, blood, and pain. I can feel every inch of it pour down on me from my head to my feet. I don't understand why I am still alive. I thought I would have died the very minute they sent six hot rods across my spine and I saw black. I open my eyes. At least I think I do. I can see a bit of the world outside me. To think I was standing at that very spot with Luna Freya as we worried over the rogue's attack — A kick in my spine and my teeth are scraping the soil. " Are you suddenly handicapped?! Move!" A guard is shouting. I force myself from the ground and crouch as I continue walking forward while a chain is tied around my waist preventing me from running away. It's not like I have anywhere to run to. Even if I can take out everyone here, I can't take out Kymon. I raise my head up, ignoring the excruciating pain that streams through me afterward, just to look at Kymon as he stands by the guillotine, his hand holding a sword firmly. Within a minute, I am kneeling

    LYRA'S POVI crane my neck upwards, trying to locate my name on the dashboard amongst the group of people in front of it.And there I see it. Lyra Reyes on the top list. 4.3 CGPA in Medicine.A low chuckle escapes my lip as I pull back and head towards the entrance door of the building stopping myself from tap dancing.Dad was right after all. The years I have been with Zade, I have had terrible grades and it was only by the grace of the moon goddess that I got admitted as a medical student. It was a lot worse after our breakup. I lost 30 pounds which meant I was probably like a Popsicle then. I cried every day, and it always got a lot worse when everyone kept blaming me for cheating on him.Of course, everyone would believe what he'd say, he's Alpha Kymon's brother." Lee!" Bryn calls out, sticking her head out of her shining Pontiac GTO with her sunglasses on and her smile on check. " We are going to the club tonight and I'm not taking no for an answer."" Why would she say no? It

    LYRA'S POV I nearly tumble over the stairs as I try to climb them. I grip my aching head and groan. " Oh Bree, I'm going to murder you for making me drink so much." I finally reach the top of the stairs, and the whole hallway blasting with sensual music seems like a maze to me because I have no freaking idea where Bryn fled off to. All I can remember is that a guy with too many tattoos for his own good whispered something into her ear and the next minute, she was gone. Those tattoos did look familiar. Like the tribal tattoo, every male Omega has, but there was something about his. That crown in the middle. " What the fuck!" A male and two naked females rip apart from each other the moment I push open a door. Oh, okay, wrong room, but I didn't need to see that, especially when he still has a condom on. " I'm sorry," I chuckle nervously as I back away, and to my horror, I don't understand why I am staring at his p*nis. " For the record, this. Threesome— is logically unhealthy.

    KYMON'S POV I crush the cigar into the ashtray, till I can't feel myself holding anything. I lift my gaze from the ashtray to the six-foot-three portrait standing before me. Lifting my claw to the painting, I trace it against the outline of her perfect jaw, to every part of her face. " Tell me how to get over you, please." I rest my head against the portrait and exhale. It gets hard every moment. Ruling this goddamn pack. Attending to everyone's problems. Dealing with these hypocrites. I need you, Freya. I have needed you every second since I couldn't save you. Maybe if I had paid more attention to loving you, you wouldn't have been killed. It's been four years and I still can't help but feel like it's my fault. My gaze flicks to the half burnt portrait of Adena lying broken on the floor. Anger ignites my soul staring at her. I should have given her a far worse death. I should have let her beg me to spare her life as I watch as she agonizes with every blood in her body sippi

    KYMON'S POV I watch as Lyriq takes her away. She is unconscious, so it makes things easier for the both of us; if not, I'd have to kill her, which I know is impossible. There's just something about her that terrifies me. Something that awakens the past, I've been trying to get rid of. I want to kill her; I want to end this fear, but I can't. That song. My legs are suddenly too weak for me to stand and I lean against a tree. How the hell does she know that song? I have sung it to two people in my life, Freya and Adena. Two women I have loved and one woefully regretted loving. They are both gone so how does Lyra know that song? I only shared it with Adena and Freya because I trusted them with everything in me. It was the last thing I heard mom say before she died. Before she was killed by him— " Kymon," Lyriq is standing before me, scowling at every cell in my face. " You aren't going to explain that shit that just happened?" I run a hand through my hair and exhale. " You don'

    LYRA'S POVKymon is driving the van through the bushes and Lyriq is sitting next to me, holding a gun to my abdomen with his face twisted into a scowl as he stares outside the window.The most I know about Lyriq is that he speaks to no one but Kymon. I have heard the way he murders wolves, innocent and guilty. I don't know who's scarier, him or Kymon.He has a sleeve of tattoos running up to his neck. The crown tattoo in the middle of the tribal one signifies he's the head of all Omegas.He is grinding his teeth, clenching and unclenching his fists. Then his gaze snaps to Kymon." Taking her back isn't a good idea. It's obvious she has a pretty big mouth, only death can shut her up."Kymon says nothing. He rests his elbow against the door and bites on a finger. Lyriq releases a frustrated breath and continues staring out the window. I try not to move, knowing he's probably waiting for an opportunity to pull the trigger.I don't move till the van is parked exactly where it was when I

An eagle tattoo is sprawled across every one of their back.He's talking to the males. One of them notices me and smirks before saying something that makes Cas turn abruptly to me.His eyes widen, and he's now walking towards me quickly. He grabs my hands and pulls me away from the sight of the males." What are you doing here Lee?" He asks, his voice very low." Teach me how to fight. I want to learn how to defend myself."

She wouldn't eat or say anything and I completely feel sorry for her. She's been through a lot. From the death of her husband to Adena's death and now Cas's soon-to-be execution.I've heard her howl at Cas multiple times, warning him to stop what he's doing but Cas never listens. She had thrown him out of the house once when he returned home, drenched in blood and bruised from head to toe.I had to take him home and treat his bruises which took almost a week to heal." He'd be killed today," She says, in a voice devoid of emotions. I place the glass of water on the table before her and try as much as possible not to show any sign of anxiety.Cas wouldn't

"Ninety-seven sacks of grains and sixty sacks of starch."I nod toward Keeper, and he writes it down. "And how much is enough to sustain us until the next harvest?"Silence, then—"The next harvest is in a week, so considering the entire population, roughly eighty-one sacks of grains and forty-seven sacks of starch."Once again, I nod toward Keeper before turning to another Omega."Distribute fifty sacks of grains and twenty sacks of starch to the market. Ensure taxes are paid accordingly, and make sure there's no increase in price while selling to the people. Anyone who dares will be placed in front of the market and stoned to death," I instruct, and he nods. "Take three sacks each to the orphanage and two each to the women in the kitchen. Ask them to prepare something and distribute it to the pe

    For an Alpha, there's no such thing as mercy.I have asked the world countless times for it, but I was ignored. No one ever gives a damn about you until you are six feet under the soil—cold, all bones, and rotten flesh.The door closes behind the guards who had carried Lyra away. I can finally breathe. Maybe her presence was far more anxiety-ridden than I thought. I don't know why my body reacts the way it does when I see her, but it crushes me.It crushes me that I'd have to wilt or flash any sign of vulnerability for a female who wants me dead."Shit!" I groan, twisting my head and clenching my hand with the injured finger.My eyes move to my blood-stained brown carpet stretching over the large floor of the lounge.Adena's brother. Caspien.My blood goes cold. I don't understand why my fists are shaking so badly. I want this carpet soaked red in his blood.I've lost a lot—money, machinery, and citizens—because of him. His attacks against me have resulted in so many things destroyed

    LYRA'S POVKymon doesn't look a bit surprised. He just hums, shakes his head, rests his elbows on the armrest, and stares up at the ceiling so I can only see his Adam's apple staring back at me." No matter how much I try to avoid you." He says, sighs, and looks at me perfunctory. " You never seem to go away."I swallow the words about to spill out from my mouth like venom and reply softly to him instead, " It's not like I'm left with a choice."He sits straight, rubs his palms on the side of his robe — it seems like a habit— bends over, and fills a golden cup with wine. Red wine." You do have a choice." " I wouldn't be here if not for you."" Still your fault." He is sipping his wine, staring at me with oblivion. Acting like he didn't send Lyriq to capture Cas. Like he didn't blame another wolf for his misdoings.I want to jump on him and claw that oblivion right out of his eyes. I inhale and stare at the ground whilst twisting my fingers around each other " You sent Omega Lyriq t

Yes," Zade responds, his voice consumed with authority." Omega Simon instructed me to inform you about the Vampires—"He stretches his hands stopping the older man from continuing. He looks at me for a second too long, then fixes his gaze back at the older man." Tell Simon that I'll see him soon," Zade instructs and the man bows again before leaving.There are too many things I am worrying about to have to worry about the Vampires. Everyone thought they had been extinct for years till a few months ago when a six-years-old body was found nailed on a shop door at the market. She had a bite on her neck, a fractured spine, and a message carved on her body saying, 'W

" It's been quite a while since I've seen you. No hugs or kisses?"" Not now Zade." Jillian chides, rolling his eyes but Zade just keeps smirking at me which makes my guts twists.Seconds later, he avarts his gaze to his uncle and says, " Why don't you head back in, I'll handle matters here? You've had quite a rough day."Jillian says nothing. He looks at me, his gaze switching expressions from confusion to anger to warmth to something calculating. He hums a response and disappears into the house.As far as I've known, Jillian is the closest to Kymon and Zade. He treats them better than their father ever did.

    LYRA'S POV My scream. I swallow it deep down my throat because I know Lyriq will do it if I don't control my emotions. For the first time, I see a small smile peek by the corner of his lips. He brings the barrel of the gun to my throat and draws it up to my jaw. I clench my fists, shut my eyes, and pray that nothing happens to Cas. " Good girl," He says to me and goes silent for five seconds. " You have no idea how I want to shoot you right now." I want to scream at him to do it. I want to say that I'm not scared of dying. " Please…" My voice hangs for a moment. I open my eyes and look into his grey venomous ones. " Don't hurt him." Confusion and amusement flash in his eyes. He looks at Cas, whose face is pressed against the ground by Henry and the male who was holding me back moments ago. Lyriq looks at me. " Hm, I see. You and him? Pathetic plus even more pathetic. A match made in hell." I almost say something but I remember a gun is right under my jaw. Spontan
