Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone—including her own mate—she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone. Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed—a problem he had been battling for years. Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous—he was the kind of man you don't escape from. Lyric wanted to run. She wanted freedom. But she desired to navigate her way and take back her respect, to rise above the ashes. Eventually, she was forced into a dark world she didn't wish to get involved with.
View MoreLYRIC Jace was at the Pack house when I arrived. I told him about the weird dream, and he only made fun of me. We sought out my jewelry and every other thing I'd be needing for the ceremony tomorrow. Later at night, I went to Jaris' office. I still felt like telling him the truth about five years ago. I was eager to see his reaction and know what he'd say concerning why he left that morning. To my surprise, his office was locked. When I checked his room, it was locked as well. Hm. That was strange. Normally, he'd be back by now. I was headed back to my room and conveniently bumped into Marta. "You left without telling me. I was there, asleep on the table." I told her. She was just as dressed as she'd been at the garden. She shrugged unapologetically. "I had to take care of something. And I didn't want to wake you." Okay. There was the mean Marta I knew. Before I could say anything else, she walked away. .....It was the day we'd all been waiting for. The day that
LYRICFor two days, I avoided Jaris like a plaque. And I think he was doing the same.I know we've both been intimate before. But that was five years ago! When I was a very different person, right before he abandoned me.This body is very special now. He couldn't just look at it when he wanted."Congratulations, aunty," Xylon said with a sweet smile as I massaged his sister's scalp on the bed."For what, honey?""The mating ceremony tomorrow. We know you'll become daddy's Luna," Xyla answered.Oh. "Thank you."Actually, I'd been quite nervous about that. Jaris and I would finally be mated tomorrow, only to be broken apart after a year.But I was still more concerned about the fact we were only going to be together for a year. While it'd help my father clear his debts, I still didn't understand what Jaris would be getting out of this.Someone knocked on the door. It was the children's nanny, followed by Jaris who stood before her.Oh, damn it.I got goosebumps instantly, my t
LYRICEvery organ in my body tightened with rage. Clumsily, I managed to lock the towel around my body, but it felt useless.I'd wasted enough time for him to see every inch of my naked body."What the hell!? Don't you knock!?" I said at the top of my voice, my fingers shaking as they weakly held the towel to my chest.I didn't care that he was the Alpha I didn't want to piss anymore. Right now, I was fucking pissed!Jaris just saw me naked without my consent! And it wouldn't have happened if he'd just knocked!Or maybe it was my fault for not locking the door. No, how was I supposed to know that someone like him would want to come in without knocking?Jaris looked stunned. Too stunned. I'd never seen him this way before. Didn't even think I'd was possible.His
LYRICAfter long hours of research, I managed to come up with something I could substitute for Jaris. Although, there was no guarantee it would work, I was hoping it would.It was evening when I finished making the tea and proceeded to his office to give it to him. It was insane that he was always working even when he was in the Pack. It made me wonder if he had any resting time at all.I knocked repeatedly on the door of his office but got no response. Looked like he wasn't in. But I'd already told him I'd be bringing the tea later on. So, maybe I could just go in and leave this for him.I went into the office and carefully placed the tea on the very messy-looking table. I wondered what he was always researching on that made his table always look like a warzone.Well, I do hope that this tea gets to work a little. It'd sa
JARISI kept thinking about something else through the night.Lyric had comprehensive knowledge in healing techniques. If she could heal Xylon, wouldn't she be able to heal me?By morning, I'd made up my mind and sent for her in my Pack's office. I was running late as I had an important meeting at the company. But this was more important.Lyric looked a bit surprised as she walked in."Did you sleep well?" I casually asked while scribbling down in my book."I uh... I did."Good. Because you're about to hear some really shocking news."I called you here for a purpose. But first, you need to swear secrecy. What I'm about to say to you cannot be heard outside this room."Her eyebrows knitted together in intrigue. "O... kay."
LYRICJaris started the car and kicked us into the road. Initially, I thought I was lucky, but it wasn't until that moment that I thought maybe, Jaris was trying to kill me for everything that just happened. Because why the hell was he going so fast!?He was driving at an incredible speed, making all the buildings and people pass by in a blur.I thought he was mad, but when I looked at him, I saw amusement in his metallic eyes. Then, it dawned on me that he was enjoying this, and he wasn't doing it because he was mad or wanted to punish me.I laughed at some point, also enjoying the thrill of it. But I soon became worried from how dangerous it was."I—I think you might want to slow down," I stuttered when we'd narrowly missed a truck.He glanced at me and smirked. "Are you afr
LYRICMy chin hit the floor in utter surprise.I couldn't take my eyes off Jaris. What in the name of the moon?This was not the reaction I'd expected. I thought he'd call me names and everything ugly. But he was taking this better than I expected!"What?" Roderick's voice sounded bewildered and shaken. "N...No. This is not the reason I came here. I came here to warn you about her. To tell you to kick her out!""So, you can have her?" Jaris huffed. "I'm afraid it doesn't work that way with me."Roderick sprang to his feet, his gaze now contorted in fury."Well, I'm sorry too, but I have no intention of letting her go either."The room turned ice cold.What happened next was a blur—too fast for my mind to fully register. Jaris seized Roderick by the collar,
LYRIC I tightened my hold around my shopping basket as I dipped my head. "Good morning, Alpha Zarek. Sorry, I almost bumped into you.""Oh, it's nothing." He chuckled. "I didn't know you came to such places. You deal with medicines?"I simply nodded. "That's nice. I only came over to check for certain things. It's a good thing that I met you here."A good thing? Why's it a good thing?I managed a smile as I stepped away. "Take care, Alpha."I walked away, continuing with my shopping. A while later, I was done and went over to the counter to clear my bills. To my surprise, the man at the counter simply packed them up and handed them over without asking me to pay. "Someone already took care of your bill," he stunned me. Oh? "Who's that?""Alpha Zarek,." He tipped his head behind me. Turning slightly, I found the Alpha learning against a shelf, waving at me with a weird smile. Okay... Why would he do a thing like this? I never asked.Dropping the bags, I went over
LYRICI stepped out of the bar for a few minutes, but Jace was already in trouble.Broken tables. Smashed glasses. Chairs flipped upside down.The place was in chaos as people struggled to separate the two men engaging in a serious brawl.Jace and Kael.By the moon, not again!"Jace! Jace!" I shouted, pushing my way through the mess."Having a friendly conversation!" he yelled back, just before dodging a punch.I grabbed his arm, trying to pull him away, but he shook me off like a damn wet leaf. They kept going at each other, tossing chairs, knocking over drinks—basically turning the bar into a battleground.How in Selene's name did this happen?It took Nerion's intervention to bring an end to the madness.I stood in front of Jace, panting and glaring at both him and Kael. How could they do this in front of so many people?"I need an apology from him. This instant! Before he steps a foot out of this place!" Kael demanded angrily.Boy, was he pissed.Jace wiped blood from his
LYRIC "You used me!" I sobbed, crying to my mate who just rejected me. "Mating with me was your ladder to power, Roderick! Your Pack climbed the ranks because of me! Now that you've achieved your ambition, you don't need the ugly girl anymore, is that it? But you were willing to mate with me a year ago!""Oh, spare me!" Roderick rolled his eyes. "Don't act like you didn't know I'd have left you at some point. Hold on, did you really think I'd have made you the Luna of my Pack? I can barely stand the sight of you, Lyric. How do you expect me to take you to Alpha meetings and present you to others? You are disgusting!""But I did not give this scar to myself!" I cried bitterly. "And you promised you'd take me to the best doctors. You didn't do any of that, Roderick! It'd have helped!""What? Even your own family doesn't care enough to take you to doctors, and you think I would? Quit, dreaming, Lyric and get out of my Pack!"Tears blurred my vision. It wasn't the firs...
