Devlin's POV"What?!" I yelled."What did you say?"He shrugged again, "you know, he had slept with Lyra before you got married. She had told him that they were mates but he didn't believe her and treated her poorly".I couldn't breathe. I never once imagined that Asher and Lyra had had sex. All I thought was that they made out or something but never sex.Especially before we got married.What did that mean?That the baby in her womb was for him?Fuck!That was a possibility. It was possible that she was pregnant for him.If the baby was for Asher, then he surely was not aware of that fact. Knowing Asher, he would dive head on in trying to procure Lyra as a wife, not even taking a moment to think about what that could mean.He would claim the baby and even say I had stolen her scent. He would've done all of this just to have his baby.However, he was allowing the two of them to get married, which meant that there was no way he knew that the baby was his.I couldn't stop the laughter b
Devlin's POVI woke up and was met with a ceiling that was different from what I was used to.It was white and ordinary. And not just that. The walls were painted white which was unlike the walls of my former bedroom.That's right.I left the mansion.Catherina had demanded that I leave, she wanted nothing to do with me and even called me selfish. So after Kaden's attempt to convince me that the people were on my side, I packed my bags immediately and left the house.I could have gone back to the blood river pack seeing that I was married to their alpha, but I knew more than that, Asher would not give me face and moreover, he was spending all his time looking for Lyra.Him and Catherina seemed to be partners in this issue, they were both against me. Asher had completely abandoned me and Catherina did not hold back from telling me that she wanted nothing to do with me.It made me wonder how she could've just suddenly made that decision.There was no way that the decision to cut all tie
Devlin's POVMy heart was beating so fast against my chest when I blurted out those words.There was a calm silence between us. The only thing I could hear was the noise from where he was.He was not saying anything and neither was I."Well," he suddenly said, "I couldn't have kept you company if I hated you".My heart was unable to settle. Beating hard against my chest and rendering me unable to place my order as I stared at the woman behind the counter wordless."I'm so glad you also see the friendship blossoming between us".I chuckled dryly, "quite unexpected, right?". I quickly told the staff my order and then watched her punch it in.Philip must've heard the noise and so he decided to ask, "what are you doing?"I shook my head as if he could see me, then moved on to the other queue."Ordering breakfast, I woke up starving"."There's no starvation in my land". He suddenly said,I didn't know why, but I laughed and the tension that came from my abrupt confession eased a little. An
Devlin's POVNo, I didn't want that.What he was saying was based on the little he knew about me. He was just being myopic in what he was seeing.I wasn't going to let him crumble all that I wanted to do.I backed away from him a few steps, "I don't want to do this, Kaden" I said, "I'm serious" I said sternly.I watched how his face turned very sinister. His eyes raked my body and a devilish smirk appeared on his face."So you're reinventing yourself because of a man?"I growled, "this had nothing to do with a man. I am reinventing myself. I want to change for the better".He chuckled, "I kind of knew I was going to meet this part of you," he said, tilting his head to the side, "but I came prepared, Devlin."I was confused.Prepared?Prepared how?Suddenly large arms seized my own. I turned around and saw two men standing beside me on each side. Their arms were the ones I felt on me."What is this?" I asked as I tried to struggle away from their grasp.He walked towards me and grabbed
Devlin's POVKaden was right.There was no way I could reinvent myself when I had so much anger and hatred towards the woman who was standing there.My head was hurting me as she lied through her teeth, to the people.If anything, this part had not been written for her. This was the only part of vulnerability she could allow herself to feel. The only one she could allow herself to show to the world.And she was not even honest about it."I love Devlin, I love everything about her but, love isn't enough to keep someone who wants to leave"The crowd moaned in acknowledgment to what she was saying."Why don't you try saying that to my face".I pushed the door open and made sure to steal a microphone that was kept in a box beside the door.Her eyes went round as she saw me and the crowd also gasped."Tell me, mother" I knew she bated when I called her that. She had always hated it and now everything made sense why she would hate it.Nkw everything made sense, it was only because I was not
Asher's POVI watched how Catherina dragged Devlin away to a corner. I Was curious to find out what it was they were talking about but butting into a conversation that had emotions flying around was a no go area for me.I turned to Philip who was standing by my side, he also had hisneyes fixated on them as if just like me, he really wanted to find out what was going on with them.I saw this as the perfect time to talk to him about what has been bugging me.Since Lyra was taken away, Philip had somehow shown no interest in finding her. He seemed to.be more engrossed in whatever relationship he has started with Devlin. They were always together, maybe not always though. But most of the time, when you see one, be sure that the other is not far away.He had been so interested in her, it made me wonder what his deal was. What was so interesting about Devlin that he had completely forgotten about Lyra. He didn't even bother to familiarize himself with the group that was set up to find Lyra.
Lyra's POVMy eyes opened with a banging headache against the corner of my head. I looked around the place and saw that there was nothing much really in the room I found myself in.The air was stale, the bed was hard against my body and the window was far from my reach.I recalled that Tristan had taken me from the silver moon pack and waking up, I had no further questions for him. I hopped from the bed and tried to see if there was a possibility I could get a guard around.But there were none.And then the crippling reminder hit me.Catherina had killed Tristan's parents.Catherina was my real mother.So I had been born to a murderer, what does that make me?It was quite a shame. There was a time where she was the most important person to me, because I loved her very much, I was inspired by everything she did. She was a benevolent leader and an even greater mother. She was all the things I used to lack. But all of a sudden, she fell from grace and I saw her and I regret that a day ev
Asher's POV"What do you mean by that?" I asked him.He only shrugged, "I knew you wouldn't believe me, no one will"."You're making it quite hard to believe you, especially when you're talking in riddles".He laughed. It's funny how he could still find things funny despite the fact that Lyra, the woman who he claims to love, had been kidnapped by some psycho.Is it that he feels that Tristan would hurt her and that's why he's not freaking out?"I'm not speaking in riddles, Asher. I'm serious when I say he's here"."What do you mean?" I asked again, this time a bit louder than the previous, successfully earning some glances from the people around.Especially Catherina."Let's walk" he said as he started to usher me away, I'm guessing to a more secluded area.Just like I thought we arrived at the hallway and there was nobody around, just the two of us."So what do you mean?"Though it was seemingly just the two of us, it didn't feel to him like we were alone. He kept looking around, ke
