Lyra's POV"What's on your mind?"Philip asked. I've been quiet since we walked into the room and it would be rather unusual if he didn't ask. I wasn't in a mood because I wanted him to ask, I was just as I found myself.Moody."What are you thinking of?" He asked again seeing as my reply was deathly silence.I shook my head and pushed the plate away. I was done with the food and what was left on there were just crumbs. There was a satisfied smirk on his face as he took the plate away. He walked back to the bed where I was sitting with a smile on his face."Are you thinking about Asher?" Was I?I wasn't.I had been thinking about all that we learned today, I had been thinking about Tristan, about the man before me, and maybe, about Asher seeing as he was part of the happenings today."Not precisely". I answered truthfully.He nodded his head, " okay then,, what had been precise?""Tristan '' I said, "I don't know what's going through his mind, one can never figure him out"."I don't
Asher's POVDevlin stirred beside me. Such movements would've caused me to wake up if I wasn't already awake. I couldn't sleep since last night, the second I pulled out and released on the bed, I couldn't close my eyes. I laud quietly on the bed just staring until I felt her move beside me. The way she moved felt different, however, I wasn't particularly acquainted with the way she moved so I paid little mind to it."I'm so fucking sore". She suddenly said, "my body has forgotten how big you are"."What a sugary mouth," I said.Her slim fingers ran over my chest, "I can't believe I passed out underneath you, did you keep going?"I shook my head, "what's the point?""Did you enjoy yourself?" She asked.I removed my hand and lifted my body up from the bed, "what's with the early morning questions? Are you expecting a feedback?"She chuckled, "can't we just pretend for a split second like everything between us is perfect?""I don't like lying or pretending." I said as I made my way to t
Lyra's POVMy heart fluttered at the intensity of his stare. I shivered slightly wondering where the feeling of guilt came from. There was no way I could've somehow felt pity for him, he was the one who fucked Devlin so hard she couldn't walk properly.There was no proof of my sexual interactions with Philip, it wasn't like he was the father of my child. All I did was to claim that we were having sex but he was actually doing it.And I shouldn't feel guilty for saying that I was doing it when I wasn't.I removed my eyes from him and looked to where Philip was sitting , he was smiling at me like he knew about what I had just done, of course he would know, we don't have sex and this sudden idea floating around that we do was just a farce to provoke sinful thoughts in Tristan and to make Asher jealous.And so far, from how Tristan's eyes darkened, it was a job well done."Well, I guess I'm the sore loser here," Tristan chuckled."What do you plan to do today?" Devkin asked, "are you thro
Asher's POV The way he sounded made everyone on the table feel the confidence he had in himself. It would be relatively stupid if anyone didn't believe in his ability to render the Luna of the silver moon pack harmless from those words. The way he spoke, the wickedness and vileness in his voice was earth shattering.The truth had come to light, for a long time, he had known of our identity and I would applaud that to Devlin who couldn't keep it in her pants but found the desire to sleep with the man who was openly threatening her pack. Giving him more than enough information about her life. There was surely no way that Tristan had found everything else on his own. He was smart but surely he wasn't that smart and Devlin just happened to be more stupid than I gave her credit for."You're so sure of yourself," I said, "where's the proof you were talking about, the proof in your possession?"Tristan brought his eyes to me and a wicked smile took over his features, "today is my birthday,
Asher's POV"And you're sure you can do that?" I asked Devlin. "It's gonna be so hard to accomplish that, looking for something like that". I knew Devlin was a lazy woman, especially when it came down to certain things and this was one of them. She wouldn't just be so empowered to look for something that may not be there. I was also slightly stunned at her zeal for this. Well, a part of me still blamed her because if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't be in this situation and now she was profoundly useless. I had wanted to try to convince her to make Tristan confide in her considering what he planned to do but seeing as Tristan claims that the woman in his heart was Lyra, I realized that in that aspect, Devlin would be useless. It was easy to get her to confess but to get Tristan to confess was going to be next to impossible."Of course I can. It's just like you said, although he claims he won't shed any blood, but it's Tristan and it cannot be the truth" she said, "I cannot let anythi
Lyra's POVThe short meeting held at Asher's room ended and I was on a sprint back to our room. I didn't want to collide with Asher, especially after what he had said. The only thing that would bring us together was the fact that we needed to save the silver moon pack. Other than that, there was nothing. I wanted nothing to do with him. However, Philip did not share the same thought. He stayed back talking about whatever with Asher which made me angry but I couldn't tell him not to. To Philip, I was on a path to getting over Asher and if I suddenly demanded that he stop any form of communication with the man, it would appear as if all my talk about getting over him had been just words and I was never going to put action to it.Which was the opposite of what I was doing. I was putting effort into having nothing to do with him, avoiding him at every turn, and trying to not look at him in a room filled with people. It was hard getting over one's mate. Itbwas hard accepting rejection.
Lyra's POVI stayed still. Unable to fathom what had just been relayed to me. I couldn't believe that Devlin was the one he was intending to go after. He could've gone after Luna herself but he preferred her daughter knowing that of course Luna cared more about Devlin than she did herself. It was a mother's love for her child that Tristan was after. Surely he was a cruel human being. He was very wicked."Why?" I asked, "that's wicked! That's inhumane"."She took my parents from me. The people I loved very much, she took them from me. She took my pack, my family and you think I shouldn't repay? I'm being merciful by letting her pack live, but surely, her daughter will not get that mercy".I shook my head, "so what, are you going to kill her?" He shook his head, "I have other plans for her, she will suffer a terrible fate, she will beg me to kill her"."Tristan,'' I wanted to say something but the sound of a car driving in shut me up. I looked towards the direction and saw a very expe
Lyra's POVI couldn't say exactly how I felt when I heard those words. But I knew that my whole body felt like I was tossed into an ocean with my ankle tied to a boulder and I sank down, my fingers wrapped around my heart as my breath failed, my nostrils packed with water.In other words, I could not breathe.I was feeling my clothes sticking to my body and that was how I knew I was sweating profusely. I wanted to look at Philip, I wanted to turn to him to clarify if that was the truth. For him to tell me that this beautiful woman I was seeing was nothing more than his ex, the ex he had no sort of relationship with any longer. The ex he never told me about. I wanted to know if her story ended there as being an ex because I could feel my sanity slowly slipping from my fingertips."Oh yes,'' I heard Tristan's voice. It sounded so far away but I knew he was merely twenty feet away from me. "I forgot to mention that bit, Lyra. Fiona and Philip have a sexual relationship".My thoughts were
