All Chapters of Forbidden Mates - A Fight For Love (Overpowered Series): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Lyra’s POV I watched Leandros disappear behind a trailer. With so much to pack up, there wasn’t a minute to spare. I walked away from the window and concentrated on the task at hand. How would we take back so many food supplies with us? I was at my wit’s end now. With only a rucksack and a few carry bags, I had nothing with me. I was so engrossed in packing that I completely forgot to lock the door after Leandros left. The door opened, and I smiled, knowing he was back to help me. It was now a matter of a few minutes before we left this place and started afresh in his village, Lucania. I felt excited at the prospect of going home. “You’re back already? Now help me pack, Leandros,” I ordered him without turning to check. A strange scratching noise behind me alerted me instead. Wasn’t it the same sound I heard outside our trailer last night? Panic settled in my heart, and I knew who was behind me. My worst fears had come true all because of my foolishness. Why didn’t I lock the doo

Leandros’s POV The sniper team gave me the exact location before leaving for the Tower Lakes region. I bought enough weapons and ammunition to survive the ordeal. I had to be ready for war.It was late afternoon when I reached the Echo Bay area. The sun was about to set when I landed at Sault Ste. Marie's heliport and took a cab towards my destination.The cab driver drove along Highway 638 until we came to Sylvan Valley. Beyond it was a secluded forested area we would have to cross to reach the Tower Lakes. At the north end of the lake was a trail that climbed up deep into the forested area, leading to their hideout, in an underground cave on a ridge covered with vegetation. That was the last update I received from the head of the sniper team, Greg Williams.“I’m sorry I can’t go further, sir. You need to travel the rest of the distance by foot.” I gaped at the cab driver, offering him more money, but he was adamant. There was no other option than to pay him and get out of the cab.

Leandros’s POV Carl involved more members of his team, and we trudged towards the site. On reaching there, I frantically looked for my mate. Finally, I detected her scent and rushed into the cave to see her crouched on the floor with an older female. The moment she saw me, she rose and ran towards me. “Leandros, I thought they would kill us. Please save uncle Felixe and uncle Derrick. They’re still trapped inside!” Tears streamed down her face and she looked too traumatized to speak. “We’ll check up on them, Lyra. You’re injured!” Her grandmother came forward, and I gasped at the sight of her wounds. They were more severe. These two needed immediate first aid! “I’m fine, Leandros. You don’t understand the situation. My uncles have only two hours to live. Alpha Athos has given him the ultimatum until sunrise. If he doesn’t join them and sign off all his wealth and business to them, they will kill him.” “Lead the way to your escape route,” said Zephyrus, drawing Lyra’s attention t

Lyra’s POV The cab sped down the streets of Yellowknife, leading us towards our destination. Where were we staying? A strange thrill coursed through my body at the prospect of spending a few days here with my mate. Life was a roller-coaster ride in Leandros’s company. There never was a dull moment. Ever since I met him, my entire life has turned upside down. “Are we going to a hotel?” He shook his head and asked the cab driver to pull up ahead in front of a huge residential complex with four luxurious towers.He paid the cab driver and led me out of the cab towards a tower. “Why are we here, Leandros?” I noticed the strange glances I was receiving. My clothes weren’t up to the mark since I had left all my good clothes in Hay River. Why did humans pay so much attention to clothes?“I have an apartment here. We’ll stay here for a few days. I’ll buy you anything you want from the mall nearby.” My heart skipped a beat with excitement. I loved shopping! “Can we head to Hay River on our

Lyra’s POV The song ended, and I gasped at the sight of Leandros giving me a standing ovation. It made my heart fill with satisfaction. I was sure he loved the song I composed and sang for him. If fashion design hadn’t been my passion, I would surely have taken up music as my career.Leandros came forward, and I smiled at him shyly. Had I confessed too much? Did he understand what he meant to me? Did he feel my love for him? He enveloped me in his warm embrace without a word! Even amidst the loud applause all around me, I could feel his heart thumping wildly in his chest. Was it because of me? “I’m touched, Lyra. I’m deeply touched. Thank you for the wonderful gift. Did you compose it?”“Yes,” I whispered breathlessly.His mouth brushed against my forehead and I wondered if he kissed me there. He released me and led me to our table. I couldn’t meet his probing gaze. It was a different thing to sing from a distance, but now, seated across from him, I felt conscious of myself. The
