Chapter 41

Rune's pov.“This is no way to treat me,'' I said to no one in particular as I made my way to head back to the manor for my trial.I knew Lucas had something to do with this but I couldn't place my hands on it. Everything was falling in place, everything except the culprit.Though, technically I can say I know the culprit, but he is dead. No one was going to believe me, no one but Lyra.Finding her was not going to be easy as it was a huge risk for both of us, but I had to do it. She was the only one who could understand me and probably help me solve this puzzle.I made up my mind to go anyway.I needed a way to hide myself and also get into the manor without being noticed.I let out a resigned sigh and said, “Grimoire, you have anything for me?"Grimoire seemed to get the message as he came floating towards me, glowing and flipping back and forth on its pages.It settled on a page finally and I peered into it. The light from the page was reflecting on my face and illuminating the alr

Chapter 42

Rune's POV I followed my grimoire’s direction and found Lyra. She was alone before the door of the hall, just in time. And she didn't notice me either; my steps, my shadow, my being, and my scent were adequately concealed. “Lyra,” I called out to her. She flinched, looking towards the direction Lucas ran in. She then stopped suddenly to speak to herself, which felt a little strange. “You know, you sounded like Rune,” she said to no one in particular. “The fuck?” I asked myself, a bit confused by the activity taking place before me. “That is because I am Rune,” I said this time, a little louder. She reacted violently to that, and I chuckled at the way she jumped. “Psst, here,” I called out again, tapping the wall closest to me gently. She must not have heard me; it must have been part of the spell. “I can't see you,” she responded. “Oh,” I said out loud, totally forgetting I was cloaked till now. I personally would not be as patient as she was if an invisib

Chapter 43

Rune's Pov“The alpha himself, Lord Xavier.”“Lord Xavier?”“What’s happening?”“How’s this possible?”“The audacity.”These words flew around the court with reckless abandon.“Enough!!!” The main judge yelled. “Let there be order in this sacred court.”Everyone obeyed instantly.“Let’s begin,” he said as he took his seat.“Is the other party in court?” he asked no one in particular.For a brief moment, there was silence as no one answered that question.“He is,” I turned my head towards the direction of the voice, and it was Xavier.“I am here.”“Very well then, we may begin,” the judge said.“This was crazy,” I thought. “In a minute, I could level this whole manor to the ground, and yet I am here going through this process!”“I could torture Lucas and get the truth from him, get him to confess here and now!”“But what good would that do?”I just had to do this.“Rune,” the judge called, shifting my attention towards him. “You’re faced with the accusations of attempting to murder our

Chapter 44

Rune's POV.This spell was active throughout the whole manor.I chuckled. “Wolves? And they call themselves wolves and are not aware of the slightest changes in the environment?”Lucas looked around and blinked his eyes several times, as if he was actually stopped from talking or interrupted and now didn’t remember what he was saying.“...the thing is that…” he dragged on.The whole court, who had been affected by the spell too, just stared and looked at him.The spell did more than what I bargained for; it broke his ego too.Lucas just sat there, silent, and waved his hands as a sign for the jury to continue.“What's the explanation to the whole matter?” the judge asked Lucas, who was trying to cover his face.After he got no response, the jury continued with the judge facing me.“You have heard all these accusations against you, Rune. What do you have to say to them?”Actually, I had nothing to say.I, for one, believed that if all it took for Xavier to believe I attacked him was ju

Chapter 45

Rune's POV“Death time….”That was awfully coincidental.“Huh?” I asked, still confused at what was happening.“What is with the sudden silence?”“I don't know; I am stuck here with you, aren't I?”I rolled my eyes. I mean, it seemed like we were about to get along.In a panicked state, I ran back to the bars and held on tightly as I tried to look out to the other side.The sharp burn made me realize what a goofball I was.I don't know which hurt more at this point: the reaction to silver or my inability to remember that silver is deadly to me and stay away from it.The silence was awfully creepy.I instinctively checked my wristwatch.The blood moon was over, and soon enough, I would be, too, if I didn't get out of this place.Creepy how all sounds went out as quickly as a dying candle flame.“What's the plan?”“I don't know if I responded. I intend to magic my way out of this,” I said.“You know there is no escape here?” a cracked voice croaked from the cells beside me.Looking thro

Chapter 46

Lyra's POVLucas was in the midst of speaking before he was interrupted by the spell, obviously. That was the only explanation for the reaction he gave after he started acting strange. He looked around and blinked his eyes several times, as if he had been stopped from talking or interrupted and now didn’t remember what he was saying.“...the thing is that...”The whole court was affected as well, seemingly having forgotten for a brief second why they were there. They too had been impacted by the spell. They would rather die than admit to one another that they had no idea what they were discussing a few minutes ago.I could visibly see Rune’s lips move, and I broke into a smile.After trying as hard as he could to recollect, Lucas sat back and silently waved his hands, his way of telling the jury to continue their proceedings.“What’s the explanation for the whole matter?” the judge asked Lucas.I wasn’t certain if the judge was trying to get to the root of the matter or if he was just

Chapter 47

Lyra's POVI froze in my tracks. Time seemed to stand still, and my heart did the very same. My lungs seemed to have forgotten their function, the very purpose they were made for. My heart, now very excited, began to beat harder, banging against my ribcage so loudly that I feared everyone would hear.Taking the little bit of self-will I had left, I turned to face the one who held me.“Lyra…” Xavier called again. “You happen to be a very impatient woman…”“...and you are a very slow man,” I blurted out.That came out wrong, I was sure of it. But there was this urge to keep going; I felt powerful with that retort. He must have been surprised by the swift response and the cunning, as his eyes grew wide in surprise, but only for a short moment.“If this is about Rune and the court case, I can assure you…”This was never about the court case or Rune. Heck, I even forgot about him momentarily, thanks to the hot distraction that held me back. And I meant this literally.“I am not a bad perso

Chapter 48

Lyra's POV“Lyra…” he called my name as he approached me slowly. “You don’t have to be alone. Enough of mingling with the trash in the pack. You’ve walked too long with them as your guide. Just recently, the court found Rune, who had been your guide, as a murderer. I am here, Lyra, for you, with you. Why can’t you see that?” His hands grazed my skin, the rough and masculine texture sending shivers up my spine. Grimoire made a slight movement from its hiding spot, which was enough to snap me back to my senses. How Lucas managed to make me freeze like this was still a mystery. And when I figured it out, it was all over for him.With my back to the bed and Lucas hovering over me, I knew I had to think fast.“Who’s the tease now?” I heard Selene ask.“Do something, or I’ll do you one better. Help me,” I pleaded.“Nah, you ventured into this on your own with no help from me. Why don’t you venture out of it by yourself…with no help from me?” Selene’s sassy tone was infuriating.“Thanks a

Chapter 49

Lyra's POV“Knock knock.”I stopped in my tracks, my whole body freezing in place.Grimoire, who was still flipping through pages, stopped mid-flip.“Who is that?” I asked, giving Grimoire a sign to return to his hiding place. This time, he hid perfectly, so there was no need for covering any part of him sticking out.There was no response, only another knock.“Well, that’s one way to respond,” I said.With another knock, I approached the door and knew who it was almost instantly.“Nice job,” Selene commended. “At least you are using that nose of yours for something.”I hesitated for a while; I knew who was on the other side of the door. Probably the reason why he refused to speak until the door was opened.“You do know you can ignore him and continue with what you ought to do—save Rune!” Selene said.“I know, but—” I grabbed the door handle and pulled.There he stood, dressed in nothing but a pair of trousers made from a very beautiful material that was oddly satisfying to watch.“He

Chapter 50

Lyra's POV I thought he was dead. He gave a slight movement and that sparked hope in me again. “Rune, it is me, Lyra!” “Lyra…” he mouthed as he turned slowly towards me. “Lyra, what are you doing here? How did you get past the guards?” he asked, his eyes wide with shock. I came closer to his cell and he was paranoid. “No, don’t!” he yelled. In a bid to prevent me from coming in contact with the metal bars, he brushed his arm against it and got burned. Then it hit me: these bars were made of silver, pure silver! “Ahhh, fuck!!!” “Oh my God!!!! Rune!!” “It’s nothing; it’s not too much, it will heal,” he said, showing me his arm. As if it was a staged play, the wounds began to cover up immediately, though slowly. “What are you doing here?” he asked, shifting the conversation. I thought of the best possible way to explain this to him and I did. “Remember when I found out Rune was dying?” “Yes…” “Same thing happened but this time with you being poisoned.” “The fuck?” “The
