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
Lyra's POV.I felt very heartbroken about all that was going on. There was nothing I was doing right. Even trying to figure out what had happened to Devlin had resulted in me finding out of the cruel things both Tristan and Philip were taking part in. I had no idea who to trust. There was the man who.loved me like crazy and my mate who wants me to.leave with him.Leaving with Asher did not mean I wasn't going to suffer, I knew what would be waiting for me back at home would be stigma, many people would blame me for what happened to Devlin and assume that I stole Asher from her. And if he says we're not going home, then where would we go?I could tell that when those words had left him, he never gave it proper thought, he just let his spur of the moment idea lead him to say such a thing but why would he get a spur of the moment idea about running away with me?Did he like me?I shook my head, even if he did, would he change anything?Asher was a ruler, he had duties to everyone in his
Asher's POVI decided it would be best if we let Devlin rest for a bit. Lucas was honestly reluctant to let her rest. I was almost tempted to let him stay with her but I knew that staying back was not going to make her heal faster but rather it was going to make him tired.We left Devlin in the care of the doctor while we drove back to Tristan's house.The advice I received from Lucas about deceiving Tristan and Philip and telling them I was leaving just to see what importance I was to them kept swimming in my head.I couldn't stop myself from thinking a lot of things and even thinking about Lyra. To say I was embarrassed was an understatement.I didn't know what came over me to stupidly go to her room and try to convince her to run away with me. I had been so confident that Tristan and Philip were going to plan to do away with her but I was wrong. Philip genuinely cared for her and it made me look utterly disgraceful. I couldn't accept such a fate and running away was the only thing
Lyra's POV.It was morning and I was laying in bed next to Philip. He eas busy feeding me grapes. In his words, he wanted our baby to be the cutest.When he had said it, i didnt know how to feek about it. It was a very unusual thing to say or maybe it was an unusual thing to hear. The father of the baby was only a few doors away and he was alive and well, except that he didnt know of this baby.I didn't think anything will change even if he does know. He wouldn't want it, he wouldn't want anything to mess with his status as an alpha. He had a reputation he needed to live up to and even if he had told Devlin he wanted nothing tl do with her anymore, it didn't mean he would divorce her. There were many things involved in their marriage it wasnt just the two of them anymore, but rather two different packs.Men like these only have words and not actions but the man laying down next to me with his face buried in a magazine reading about pregnancy was every woman's dream. He accepted me, lo
Lyra's POVThose men holding the guns were riding towards us. They had killing intent plastered on thier faces and i gripped the reins of the horse tighter.They didnt look like they wanted to have a conversation with us and this was what Philip also noticed, he immediately rode his horse to where I was."Run". He only had to say that one word and I instantly urged my own horse. It started running and it was suddenly a chase.The sound of gunshots filled the air. Bullets spreading far and wide and i wondered how come none of those bullets touched either of us.Philip was riding in front because he was the only one who knew his way around the place. I was totally oblivious about what to fo and where to do. We were riding in an open field. It was far stretched, we had arrived here afyer ridding through the thick woods surrounding Tristan's mansion. Philip had known exactly which way to go and I trusted him. I followed him laughing and rejoicing only to be met with people who wanted to
