2025-04-27 17:16:14I walked out of the patient's room, carrying the chart in my hand and going through it.
I instructed the nurse beside me on what to do to one of the patients in the chart.
I came to a pause when someone stopped in front of me. I was forced to lift my head from the book, and in front of me was Marta.
Oh, great.
"Do you need something, Doctor Monroe?" I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.
"Yes." She had a dubious smile on her face. "How has life been without your best friend being close to you?"
I widened my eyes at her. Was she really going to do this in front of a nurse.
Turning to the nurse beside me, I dismissed her.
"What is wrong with you, Marta?" I shook my head.
"Why don't you tell me? I mean, it's been two days since he was kicked out of the pack. Ho

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

LYRICWe left the bar together, heading to his hotel as he called it. We drove off in his Arcanis GT. It was one of the most expensive cars in the world.Whoever this man was, he was filthy rich. Could he possibly be an Alpha?A part of me had been tempted to ask questions, but none of it mattered. We were simply going to make love and never see each other again.......It was the best night of my life. He made love to me in the sweetest way. Although, it was my first time, I wasn't sure intimacy could be any sweeter. I didn't want us to stop.The stranger had been shocked to know I was a virgin. The entire session, he kept asking if I was fine and needed him to be more gentle. For the first time, someone cared about my feelings.But something unusual happened during the intercourse. Everything had been going so fine until he suddenly jerked while inside me and came with a deep groan. I was shocked, but we were both in the moment and could not ask questions.He

LYRIC "I'm sorry, ma'am; but I'm here to pick someone. I can't give you a free ride, if that's what you're asking." I struggled to hold back my laughter as I listened to Rufus, one of my father's oldest guards say, his eyes darting past my shoulder, looking out for the person he had been assigned to pick from the airport. "I know. You have been sent to pick Lyric Harper, right? It's me, Rufus."His eyes narrowed with suspicion. "You still haven't told me how you know my name. And...And how can you be Lyric? It's not possible." He shook his head. "Lyric is—""Ugly?" I finished for him, a broad smile on my face. He frowned as he shook his head. Back then, Rufus was the only one that had never been able to call me ugly. He was among the very few that had cared about my feelings, and even now, to a stranger, he still couldn't call me ugly. I laughed. "Well, would it help if I reminded you that your favorite soup was butternut squash and you and little Lyric used to

Roderick Fletcher. The one man I'd hoped would love me but never did. The mind was a bitch. I thought I was over Roderick's betrayal and wouldn't feel a thing when I met him. But watching him as he approached me, looking like he was the one in charge made my eyes rim with tears. I sniffled and looked away, forcing the tears back in. "So, I had to come over to speak to you myself," he leaned against the counter beside me. "How daring."My throat was tight, unable to find any words. I feared there would be a crack in my voice if I managed to speak. Three guards hovered beside him, their eyes darting around. Roderick looked sophisticated, like he'd obviously been having a good life. What was he even doing here? Was he picking someone?"What's the name?" He tilted his head as he asked. I said nothing, won't even look at him. "Hello?""I don't feel like disclosing my name to strangers," I finally managed. My voice was tight. His eyes beamed with amusement. And here was a man who n

LYRIC It had to be a joke. Or at the very least, not what I was thinking. Father's eyes turned more serious as he moved toward me. "I thought of offering Nora to him, but she's already with someone else, and the Alpha King might become furious if he thinks we're trying to offer him someone else's woman. This is the reason you're the only choice we have, Lyric. And... you have no idea how perfect it is that you have your face back. Initially, I had been worried we'd have issues with the Alpha King accepting you, but now, I am confident he'll be thrilled.""Hold on," I scoffed, placing a hand on my thigh. "Please don't tell me you made me travel all the way from Draconis just to be told that I am about to be sacrificed to a demon."No wolf was stranger to the name ' Darkspire'. Even me who knew little of Pack matters still knew how dangerous they were and nobody wanted to have anything to do with them; not in this life, not in another. "Alpha Jaris is not a demon,

"Jaris, you're here." Isolde said with relief. "Please, meet Alpha Bennett of Ravencrest. This is his daughter we talked about."I'd stopped breathing since he walked in. In that moment, nothing else, other than the pain in my chest seemed to exist. Memories I'd been fighting so hard to stay buried reared their ugly heads at me. And the name 'Princess' echoed in my head, hauntingly, I wanted to scream. He had been Jaris? Alpha of Darkspire? I couldn't believe this. Unlike that night, when he looked at me with those charming eyes and called me beautiful, his eyes were very cold now; devoid of emotion. He didn't look like the man I'd wanted to spend an extra day with. He looked ruthless, like a man I wanted to run as far away as possible from. Now it made sense. That night, he'd only been sweet 'cause he wanted to deceive me. Oh, how foolish I had been. And how he must have laughed at me when I laid my head on his chest. He must have been disgusted too. I contemplated running. I di

LYRICOn the bed was a young boy, just about the girll's age, shaking profusely. It wasn't shivering-kind of shake. He looked like someone that was in hell. His forehead was beaded with sweat, and his tiny hands were fisted around the sheets. I didn't think I'd seen a little child in so much pain before. "My goodness, what is wrong with him?" I asked, alarmed, as I ran to meet him in the bed. His eyes were tightly shut, small grunts of pain escaping his throat. "It happens to him often but it's getting worse by the day. I don't know where mummy went, and daddy's busy. I can't go to him."Touching the boy's forehead, it was as hot as burning coal, I almost hissed. For the love of Selene, he was in a terrible state! A child like him didn't deserve to go through this. I should be finding a way to get him to his parents to take him to a doctor, but I think I might know what to do. I turned to the little girl to ask her something, only to discover she was crying.

"It must be mere luck," she cleared her throat. "I'm sure she didn't have to do much."I was tempted to laugh. Mere luck? Did she have any idea the effort I had to put in?She stepped away from the door. "Leave. Now."For a spitting second, I wondered why Jaris wasn't making her his Luna. She looked beautiful and already had kids for him."I'm sorry I invaded your kids' privacy. The little boy just needed help, and I thought it'd be wrong to ignore him." Dipping my head, I left the room. JARISI knew what would happen the moment I walked out on them. My mother was never one to let things go, especially not this. Although, for the first time, I wish she'd get off my back.My beta—Kael—and head of security—Ner

JARISI stopped at a spot, my fingers going into my hair and pulling at my roots. I was trying—trying so hard to remain calm. Because I knew if I had to really snap, only the innocent ones around me would get to suffer."What did you just say, Margaret?" I could hardly even hear myself."I'm so sorry. It was one of the women that was supposed to keep an eye on him. She was one of us, and we trusted her. We were just as shocked when we discovered she had him released." She was still sobbing. She was scared. And oh, she had the right to be. Because right now, I was really thinking about going over and doing all the things I imagined last night."How did she release him unconscious? It's impossible for him to get out of his condition.""I know. But she got help. We were just as surprised, Alpha. This strange lady, she was able to heal him

"What?" Her mother murmured. "How's that—How's that possible?""They can't be his, Marta. We bought them, remember? Or did someone manipulate the results?""Beatrix is Jaris' aunt. She'd definitely want to know if her nephew was being deceived, and if he was, she'd expose it. She wouldn't cover up for us for any reason." Marta pulled at the roots of her hair. "This isn't right. Something isn't right.""Hold on," Her grandmother took a seat. "Are you trying to say the kids we arranged for and bought in a far away country are actually Jaris' kids? How in hell is that possible? Who's their mother, then?""I—I don't know, grandma. But this can't be good." Marta's eyes were wide with panic. "How did I end up with Jaris' kids? How is another woman pregnant for him and...and he knows nothing about it?""More importantly, who's the mother of the twins? How could she possibly

LYRICJaris wouldn't say a word the entire ride home. But he looked pissed. Very pissed.Did that mean the result wasn't good? Were the kids not his?When we reached the Pack, he asked for Jace and Marta. But while Jace was in, Marta wasn't. He called her and ordered her to get to the Pack House immediately."What's going on?" Jace asked when we were alone on the balcony."I don't know. The results are out, and he's been acting all weird."My mind went to the kids who were already in their room. Was this the point where their lives went bad? Gods. What would Jaris do about them not being his?After waiting for a long time, Marta did come. We all met in Jaris' office.Luna Isolde, Kael, Nerion and some other guards were there as well. Marta looked so scared.

LYRICI was reading a book on my phone when a text popped on my screen, freezing the air in my lungs.'Hi, Lyric. Have you missed me?'It was from Roderick, and it was accompanied with a photo of me at the airport from when I newly came into the country.What the hell? He had taken a photo of me that day?But most importantly, why was he texting me?The doorbell ringing interrupted my thoughts.I scrambled off the bed and into the living room to check who it was. The kids were in their room, playing a video game.Who could possibly be visiting Jaris?I opened the door and was met with surprise when I found Marta.Unlike her, she didn't have any makeup on. Her hair looked like it had been hurriedly brushed and parked. Her eyes were swollen, indicating

JARIS"Daddy!" Xyla screamed when she noticed me from the counter.I didn't miss the color that crept onto Lyric's nose the moment she saw me. Why did she always have this reaction around me?A dark thought settled in my mind: Did she also have this reaction when she let Zarek touch her?I pushed the thought aside, deciding to enjoy the moment.I went closer to the kids, taking Xylon into my arms while I planted a kiss on Xyla's hair."Good morning, Alpha." Lyric dipped her head, her nose still pink.I was starting to grow irritated with her calling me 'Alpha.' In her dream mode, she always called me by my name. I think I liked that better."How was your night, Lyric?" I regarded.I noticed the color reached her ears as well. But now, I thin

LYRICMy lips parted but no words formed. Jaris was asking me to stay. He might not be straightforward about it, but he wanted me to stay.When I still didn't say a word, Xyla started another conversation. And fortunately, the conversation drifted from me.....So, I did stay.The twins and I spent some time watching a movie in the home cinema. Yup. Jaris had a freaking cinema built into his mansion.The twins slept off before the end of the second movie. I had to carry them one after the other to their rooms.When I was done laying them both in beds and tucking them in, I turned to the door and startled when I found Jaris leaning against the doorframe.Geez! That gave me quite a stare."Good job." He tipped his head toward the k

LYRICOkay...why was he sweet with the kids and not with me?Adjusting the strep of my bag over my shoulder, I went after him.The inside was more beautiful than I imagined with a black theme.I didn't want to imagine the amount of money that must have been put into this place.I continued walking behind Jace until we reached an office. Oh. So, he had a home office here as well."What're you doing here?" His voice was icy.I couldn't hold his stare and was forced to lower mine to the floor. He didn't look like the man that had been happy to see his kids a while ago."I asked a question," he clipped.Fuck this, Lyric. Stop showing him your weakness."The kids wanted to see you." My voice came out s

LYRICThings were not fine. The aftermath of the situation was exactly why I'd been scared of revealing the truth.Since the previous day after the samples were taken, Jaris hadn't been home. What bothered me the most was the fact that the twins were very sad and worried.They didn't exactly know what the problem was, but they knew their father was mad about something and hadn't been home because of it."Aunty, do you think daddy will come home today?" Xyla asked, lifting her head from her drawing book to look at me.I stuttered for words."He's not taking our calls. And we were supposed to show him some pictures," she made a pout.Xylon nodded, showing his agreement.My heart clenched painfully. Jaris hadn't been taking their calls? Was that necessary?
