LYRA'S POVMy 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. Spontaneously, something h
LYRA'S POVI blink, trying to peel my eyes off Zade. Away from the man that has made my heart break at every second despite how much I try to forget. Forget how good he used to make me feel up till the moment he cheated on me.I shift my gaze to Jillian and say, " I need to see Kymon—please."But, Zade speaks next. " 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. I've heard rumors from the workers at the mansion that Kymon used
LYRA'S POV" Gamma Zade. " A male, dressed in a grey and purple uniform like the other workers, moving helter-skelter around the porch of the mansion, calls before Zade can utter another word from his mouth.Zade looks at him with furrowed brows while he bows in respect despite the plenty of grey hair on his chin and head." 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
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
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
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.

LYRA'S POVBrown, angry eyes are staring into mine, and I resist the urge to whine and back away. Maybe learning how to kick ass isn't as easy as I expected.Lawrence's claws reach to my face as he growls, mad with anger because I razored part of his wolf hair with my teeth. I duck, just by an inch. He doesn't stop trying to attack me." Heal Lawrence!" Caspian growls from where he's standing with the other wolves as he watches us.Lawrence doesn't listen and somehow, I end up getting a claw on one of my legs. I stop struggling and crumble on my back to whine in pain.Caspian growls a loud curse and super speeds towards Lawrence then pushes him away before he can attack me again.Lawrence and I both shift back to our human form simultaneously, still lying on the ground. I look at the huge bruise on his neck and I wince on his behalf." What the fuck was that Lawrence?" Cas barks loud enough for Lawrence to flinch.Lawrence sits up, gripping his bleeding neck as he glares at me. I was
KYMON'S POVI stare at the fire igniting from one of the many torches lighting up the massive plush front gate as I sit on a haddock on the balcony of my room.I can just imagine her and Adena chit-chatting while walking through the gate with smiles on their faces. I can see Freya's chestnut eyes smiling up at me as she giggles." Who's that?" I say not turning around when I feel someone behind me." Who else would ever dare enter your room?" Stepmother says, and I peel my eyes from the torch and stand to see her standing by my door with a smile.I bow my head in respect and she shakes her head and walks into the balcony. " The Alpha bows to no one."She takes a cigarette out of the many on a table adjacent to the haddock, and I snatch it from her hand before she can light it up." Old habits die hard." I smile down at her seeing the disappointment in her face. " Or maybe I have lost every form of authority when it comes to my mother."I raise up the cigar to her. " Well, except stopp
LYRA'S POVMum, Dad, and Jacob stayed with me for the night. It was hard getting any sleep because whenever I looked over at Bryn's bed and remembered she used to sleep there, I would start crying again.It's been three days now, and I still can't get over it.I don't know what Alpha Kymon is up to. He instructed the college to be shut down till Bryn's murderer is found.Everyone is living in fear and panic because of him. I move through the mist till I can see Cas, standing by the lake, upper body naked with seven males that look his age. 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." His gaze alters into co
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
