Lyra's POV.The men were standing by the door staring at the both of us, but I wasn't sure Devlin knew that they were there, possibly she thought the door just opened because why else would she be standing there on the same spot, glaring at me like i had done something bad to her when in actuality I was the one that was wronged in that gruesome manner.She was frowning and I knew she wanted me to hurt more than I already was. She was angry with me, she was very angry but I didn't care because that anger could not be acted upon seeing that Philip had come. He would always come to my rescue. I didn't have to wait for Asher or Tristan, Philip was all I needed. And I was right about it, he immediately rushed to my side and wrapped his hands around me.Devlin saw him and her face changed, the color drained from her face and she turned around immediately only to be met with Asher's glare and Tristan's disappointed look.Tristan, the man who had been flirting with her for as long as I could
Asher's POVI was looking at them strangely and they were also looking at me just as strangely. I had no words for them, inhad nothing to say or do but only waited for them to tell me who they thought the snitch was. My mind was going places and my heart was beating fast. A part of me believed that they were going to accuse me of being the snitch. It all made sense to me why Tristan would suddenly start behaving like that. He was opely flirting with Devlin, he paid me no respect and said some things out of anger or something along the line. I didn't know what to think.but I surely would not be surprised if they said i was the one.It wouldn't shock me with Philip either, recently, he had grown to hate me too buts seeng that Devlin had hurt Lyra when I was standing there and also, he had found Lyra passed out in my room, on my bed. There wasn't an explanation for that and he didnt really demanded for one. If he had maybe I would've told him the truth but he just assumed the worst of me
Asher's POVI immediately rushed to hold her but as i got there, Philip slapped my hand off of Lyra's body."What's your problem man?!" Philip asked me.I was shocked at his response, i was only trying to help he had yelled blood and gotten everyone in the room worried, week everyone other than Devlin and it was only because of our care and concern for Lyra, however,he was not appreciating any of those, he was more fixed on whatever was going on with him. He was fixed on the fact that Lyra was his.I wanted to help her and that wish, that desire was tainted by nothing. I was genuine and real about my intentions but no, he wouldn't let me have it, he wouldn't let me hold her, he was pulling her so.close to himself like she was an object that belonged to him. Be was so into Lyra that it was unbecoming,but I felt that it was because he was more interested in having a partner than who that partner was. From what I had seen, Philip seemed to be a really great lover, he was without flaws, t
Asher's POV"Miss Devlin fell from the roof".Those words played over and over again in my head. I was taken by a shock compared to none. I couldn't feel anything but the air on my cheeks and the stabbing guilt building in my chest. I was unable to make real of anything happening around me. I might've even forgotten my name.I could not move. The guard was staring at me questionably, it's expected that at such a time I should be running over to the crime scene to decipher what had happened, to see if there was a possibility that devlin would still be alive.Falling from the roof was not a joke, it wasn't something that could be taken lightly. It could happen that she died or she broke many of her bones.I was finding it hard to breathe.I needed to go there and see for myself what had happened, I needed to see if Devlin was alive, if something had happened before she fell down or not, I needed to understand this situation. There was nonother reason for my need to grasp the truth of ev
Lyra's POVI was stupefied. My eyes glued to the servant who had said those words, I wondered what she could have seen that made her give such testimony. Of course her words were untrue, I never pushed Devlin down from the terrace. What reason could I possibly have for committing such a crime?Devlin was a bitch, she was a very horrible and selfish person and I have received such cruelty first hand but it wasn't enough reason to push her down when she might likely fall to her death. I wasn't a monster, I wasn't cruel. I hated her but not to the point where I'll kill her.I do wish her a horrible life worse than death but I wasn't going to be the one to deliver it.The maid's words had been influenced by something, although I had no idea what, but I do know that she couldn't have made such a bold accusation without someone backing her up.I wasn't the only one pissed about the maids' words, Philip who was standing behind me seemed to have his feathers ruffled."What are you saying?" He
Lyra's POVI couldn't believe how sure of himself he was. But what did I expect? This was his house, this was his pack. He made the rules here and even though there was earth shattering proof of him being the culprit, there was nothing one could do against him. He was the leader here and Asher alone cannot stand up against him. It was quite unfortunate the sort of power he had over this place. Like he was a god.I stood my ground, i couldn't allow him see that i was mused on the subject, on the height of his power. He was at the top of the hierarchy and it pissed me off. He could just possibly be the one responsible for what happened with Devlin but everyone was looking at me like i was the culprit.I honestly felt the rush of anger and the need to prove myself innocent especially to Asher."I saw you, you were the one that had pushed her ''."What?" He looked at me with raised eyebrows like I had just said the most improbable thing in the world. As it seemed, I keep surprising him.T
Asher's POVI could not listen to what Lyra had to say nor could I listen to Tristan, all that was on my mind was how to get Devlin inside just so I could stop the bleeding. I was scared about her life, I needed her to survive and whether or not she was pushed, at the moment, it held no importance to me. Maybe when she's alright and safe will I bother about who had wanted to kill her.To be honest, Lyra was on the top of my list. She hated Devlin and even now she desperately wanted Devlin to call her troops back because obviously she didn't want to harm her boyfriend, Philip. Maybe that was the reason why she was behaving like that, maybe that was what she and Devlin had fought about.However, there waa a possibility that it was Devlin that stated the fight, two times, she had been caught hitting Lyra and it could have happened that they fought over me and seeing that I had just told Devlin something truly disturbing bef
Asher's POVThe way that Tristan said it was enough to let me know that this wasn't the first time he was doing something like that. He wanted to do away with Lyra like she was some kind of trash, like she wasn't worth anything.I was feeling angry that he would think.of a person in such a manner and then my eyes darted to Lyra. I wondered how she was feeling, like an object being discarded. Her life had always been like this, growing up with a mother who didn't love her and then getting mated to someone who wasn't mated with her. And then she was abandoned and almost killed, and here where she thought a bit of solace existed, they wanted to get rid of her.Tristan was so displeased as he said her name, like the thought of her alone was such a horrible daydream. He hated lyra so much and i was trying to believe that it wasn't just the fact that she was from the silver moon pack. Maybe it was that Lyra knew of what happened with Devlin or there was so
