Her face beamed with smiles as she hugged me tightly.Cara's presence brought warmth and comfort, instantly easing the tension that lingered in the room. Her joy was infectious."Oh, Lyra, I've missed you so much," she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine affection."I'm not used to having friends, but Cara has proven herself time and time again to be someone closer than a friend to me," I reflected silently."I consider her a sister I never had. Cara, I've missed you too," I said awkwardly, not used to showing emotions.Cara pulled back slightly, tears streaming down her cheeks. I could see the depth of emotion in her eyes, my heartstrings tugged."I was curious and asked, 'Are you okay?'" I was concerned.She swiftly nodded her head, but the tears continued to flow down her eyes, betraying the strength she tried to maintain

Kessler’s POVThe two weeks of Lyra's absence are the fucking worst time of my life. My mother is bent on me not leaving the pack.I'm livid. I've never been this infuriated with my mother in all my life. It's heart-wrenching. I feel her emotions every fucking day. She's in serious pain, and I can feel it through the mate bond. Fuck this mate bond.I never realized how important Lyra is to me until now. With her out of sight, I drown myself in alcohol every night just to find some semblance of sleep, my drink laced with wolfbane to numb the ache in my heart.Annie, sensing my vulnerability, persistently tries to get me to sleep with her, and unfortunately, she succeeds numerous times.Zach walks into my office, a refuge from the world where I can avoid contact with anyone else. Zach looks at me with concern and asks, "How long will you continue to wallow in your pain?”I look at him with a lazy gaze, but still, I ask, "What do you mean?""Jack is trouble, and he can't afford to know t

Lyra’s POVTo say that I'm not happy to see Kessler is an understatement. Sasha purrs in my head, wagging its tail in happiness when he pulls me into a hug. I can see the conflict in his eyes. He's begging with his eyes, thinking I won't rush to him. I allow all the walls I've built around me regarding what I feel for him to crumble.As I look into Kessler's eyes, I see sincerity and vulnerability, and I realize that despite everything, a part of me still cares deeply for him. So, I let go of my reservations and allow myself to be swept away by the moment.Yes, I do feel for him. Besides, he is my mate. Kessler can make any girl's heart race just by seeing him, and when he says hi, you can feel a surge of arousal. Tristan letting us go without a fight is unlike him. I have a feeling that my uncle has a hand in it; he has another, greater cause to gain more power for himself.The power-hungry nature of my Uncle Jack is unmatched; it makes me wonder at times if he didn't have a hand in

I forcefully wipe away the tears threatening to spill. I'm sure Kessler can hear the tiny heartbeat. I feel a mix of emotions—regret for lashing out at her in anger, and the feeling of my heart breaking all over again.Just when I thought I wanted to go against all odds and give Kessler and me a chance to break down the walls I've created around me.I struggle to make sense of it all. I glance at Kessler, his expression unreadable, With a shaky breath, I gather my resolve. I calmly turn to Kessler and Annie, and say, "Shut the door behind you, I need to take a nap." Kessler tries to move closer to me, but I raise my hand in the air, stopping him. There's a flicker of regret in his eyes as if he has many things he wants to say.But I already know what he has to say. "Can we talk about this?" he says, while I rehearse it in my head at the same time."Please leave," I say, pointing to the door.Kessler hesitates for a moment, I can see the words forming on his lips, the pleading look in

Despite still having doubts about my mum being held captive, contrary to what I saw at the park, her visit to me at Croftwood Pack sparked more suspicion.I learned that things turned upheaval after my father's death and that my uncle ruled with an iron fist.

But being Kessler's mate has its advantages.I'm determined to use my mate card to uncover the truth about my father's death and my uncle's nefarious activities.
