Lyla stood in front of the mirror and examined herself. She was putting on a long red evening gown. The gown was a sleeveless, off the shoulder gown that showed off her neck. It also had a high slit that showed off most of her thighs. Against the blood red of the gown, her pale skin contrasted beautifully making her look stunning. Lyla nodded at her reflection in the mirror, satisfied. She looked ok. Just then the door opened and Lyla turned over startlingly to look at who would walk in like that without knocking. She swallowed back her words and gulped instinctively when she saw that it was her husband, the alpha, who had just walked in.Lyla stared uneasily at him, standing at 6ft tall, Kyrian, was devilishly handsome. He had Hades - black eyebrows affixed to an aesthetic face. His eyes were opal round and he had scintillating loam gray eyes. His acqueline shaped nose sat in between this pair of loam gray eyes. He also arched cheekbones and his marble jaw was rugged was rugged and m
Kyrian looked over to where Lyla sat at the head of the ballroom. That was her place, she was never to socialize, she just had to sit and look pretty, that was her role. And sooner rather than later, bear him a son. This was what Kyrian recited to himself over and over again so he wouldn't forget why he had married Lyla in the first place but Lyla eluded him. Recently, he found himself more often than not having other thoughts. He just couldn't explain it. Kyrian remembered the first time he had seen Lyla, at that annual moonlight festival that he was always forced to go to. He had sat there extremely bored and desperately longing for the festival to be over so he could leave. He was aware of how everyone was staring at him. He knew of all the rumors about him, but he didn't care about them because they were true. He was indeed cruel and ruthless, he made no excuses for himself but it was needed to run a Pack. So many eyes on him that night but only one caught his and piqued his inte
As Lyla glided across the dance floor with Liam, she had a broad smile on her face. She had never danced at any of Kyrian's parties before. She was always seated at the podium, smiling at the guests because that is where Kyrian wanted her. According to him, that was her place. And out of fear of Kyrian, no one had ever offered her a dance or even so much as interacted with her for so long. Liam was different. Lyla glanced at Liam, she had a good impression of him. He was about 5 ft 3 tall, arched cheekbones, marble jaw, falcon nose and merry eyes. His eyes were round shaped and his eyebrows bristly. He had lean shoulders that gave off a soft masculine vibe. He was quite good looking with all these features but to Lyla, Kyrian would always be the most handsome man. Liam though wasn't bad and Lyla regarded him highly for he was the only one that had ever had guts to greet her in Kyrian's party. He even asked her for a dance and Kyrian had surprisingly agreed. And now as she glided acros
As Liam led Lyla back to Kyrian on the podium, Kyrian watched them approach with intense eyes."You have such a lovely wife, alpha Kyrian", Liam said as he placed Lyla's hands in Kyrian's.Kyrian received Lyla's hand and gave her a little squeeze which caused Lyla to wince but she took care to hide her discomfort."I understand why you hide her from the world", Liam added and winked at Kyrian.Kyrian did not take to Liam's joke but he forced a smile all the same."Indeed, I do not like to share what is mine", Kyrian replied with a hint of warning in his tone.Liam stared at Kyrian and Kyrian stared back. They both engaged in a staring contest for a few seconds until Liam finally broke his gaze away. Giving a little laugh, Liam said,"I agree... I agree"Kyrian gave him a small smile as well."Well, I have to go now, Alpha Kyrian. I best socialize", Liam said."Indeed", Kyrian nodded."It was lovely meeting you my lady", Liam told Lyla who smiled at him."Likewise", Lyla responded.Lia
He got so scared and realized what he had said to her yesterday night was not so fair. He went down on his knees and bowed his and growled, letting his wolf nature take charge for a moment before turning to face his guards. And with a loud growl that shooked the palace.“Find her!” he snarled. For the first time, his guards and the whole of the city could feel a very sharp force taken over the palace than usual, and with immediate effect, the guards were assembled including all the available warriors to search for Lyla. And within what seemed like an hour everyone was dispatched. Some had their dogs with them while others who were well-trained sniffed and ran faster with their wolf abilities. And soon it was evening and everyone came with their reports to the captain.The first warrior whose name was Abel( a very good friend of alpha Kyrian who is now like a brother to him but refused to take the captain role on himself as he always tells himself he’s not good at it), was known for hi
It was still 2 am when Kyrian growled loudly from his sleep which shook the whole palace and made all the guards rush Into his chamber. And with his eyes glowing in the dark and him sweating profusely “I’m fine, I’m good. If you all were this alert maybe she wouldn’t have sliped off under your nose without your knowledge. Leave my chamber at once!” he growled and turned his back on them.“But alpha Kyrian we thought…we…” Before he could finish his statement Kyrian snapped his head off his neck. “Pack him and leave at once! Everyone get out! Now!” and with anger in his voice the guards fearfully rushed out of his chamber while the dead guard was dragged away from his room. And the female maids attended to the floors and scrubbed them.While doing that Hilda who was the head of the female maids in charge of taking care of the royalties was also in there with them when her gaze went to alpha Kyrian. And before she could run off and avoid him a voice suddenly startled her which made her s
Lyla and Hilda’s hearts can be heard thumping faster which made it very obvious that they were talking about something secretive.“I could hear your heartbeats. Is there something you guys are not telling me, cause you both look very scared? Relax, I won't bite. I’m here to take my Luna to the party and I’m very sure you both are ready for the party. Shall we Lyla?” he completed the statement and reached out for her hand.“We were only talking about ladies' stuff, you don’t need to be bothered actually. Right, Hilda?” she said smiling towards her. “Yes, your grace. Yes, we were.” She responded with her head bowed down. And by the time she raised her head, her gaze met Lyla’s, and with her face that says let’s see each other later.Lyla took Kyrian’s hand and before they got to the door, Kyrian looked back, with his arched brows, “Hey, what’s your name, I don’t think I’ve seen you before.” He said looking at her before fixing his gaze back to Lyla.Before Hilda could respond, Lyla cou
“And what are you doing here Sarah?” he asked with a surprising tone.“I needed to use the toilet but I happen to meet your beautiful Luna, so I decided to have a little chit-chat with her at least. Since you rarely let her out of your sight.” She said rudely and left them all in the toilet, closing the door behind them.“What was that about Lyla?” Kyrian asked confused, as her stepsister has never spoken to him in such a manner before.“I have no idea. Maybe you should ask her yourself.” Lyla concluded without blinking an eye.Hilda whose heart was beating fast against her chest quickly left the both of them in the toilet and went straight to carry out their plan.“Well, you should not be here. I asked you to stay at the party. And why did you take so long in the toilet? Is there something you are not telling me, Lyla?” he asked with a deep tone.“Nothing is going on if you are so worried. I only came to use the toilet. And since when do you care?” Lyla replied turning away from him
