Lydia’s POVI heard the King and Luna Queen were done with their honeymoon. The news spread like wildfire. I hated it. All the attention Lyra got made my heart boil. I adjusted my dress as I stepped out of the car.“Lydia,” Mom greeted as I walked into the house.I moved to a seat in the living room and sat down. “Hello, Mom,” I responded. Her lips curled into a smile, but I could tell all was not well. “What is it?”She exhaled sharply, her feet gentle on the floor as she walked to me. “Your father got suspended from work by the Alpha King.”My mouth opened. “What? Why?”“He punished your sister the last time she visited. The Alpha King didn’t like it.”My fists clenched with rage. Who did Lyra think she was? “Lyra let it happen? Why didn’t she stop him?” I complained with rage.Mother slid her hand into mine. “It’s not a big deal, dear. He will return to his position soon,” she assured me.I leaned my back against the chair and pouted. “Okay.”She inched closer, her eyes forming a h

Sila’s POV“Who could have done this?” I asked with shock.“I’m not sure, Alpha, but I know for sure the culprit is in the palace,” he said, his tone serious. “It could be anybody.”My fists clenched tightly, my mind filled with thoughts. “We need to investigate and find out who it is.” I raked my fingers through my hair in frustration. “How did my brother manage to send a person in here without us knowing?”Salvatore said nothing. I could tell he was in thought.I looked back at Lyra. Her head was bowed, and her fingers fondled with each other. “What is it?” I asked. I could tell she had something to say.Her brown eyes moved up to meet mine. She shook her head. “Nothing.”I walked to her, my hand sliding into hers. “Are you scared?” I asked.“It’s just… if a killer is in my home, then I could be in trouble. Anybody could be next in line,” she admitted.I shook my head. “It’s okay. We will find out who it is.” I turned to Salvatore. “Is there any new guard here?”He nodded. “Twelve g

“Who put my Luna in this position?” he growled loudly as he picked me up from the ground. His clothes were soaking wet from the rain; mine were much worse.His black hair was stuck to his forehead because of the rain, his green eyes searching mine. “Did your family do this?” he shouted as the rain poured heavily.I gave a gentle nod and held his hand. “Take me home, Silas.”Anger filled his eyes, but he stayed silent. He led me towards his car. “Take us home,” he said to the driver.Throughout the car ride home, Silas was silent, his eyes blazing with rage. “I should have come with you,” he admitted, his tone gentle as he spoke.“It’s not your fault,” I said. “Father was just not in a good mood.”“I’ll strip him of his position as the alpha’s advisor,” he said. “I’ll ban him from ever stepping foot in my home.”I slid my hands into his even though I was still shivering from the cold. “It’s okay.”But why was I trying to save my father?He has mistreated me all these years. I should ha

Lyra’s POV“What did Kate want to talk about?” I asked as he returned to the bedroom.“Nothing important,” he said as he got into bed, wrapping me back up in his arms and placing a gentle kiss on me. “She doesn’t matter.”Silence lingered for a few seconds before he spoke again. “In two days you have to go visit your father. It’s tradition.”“Selene told me,” I said.“Do you want me to come?” he asked. “I know your father doesn’t like you.”I sighed loudly. “It’s the rules. I have to go alone.”TWO DAYS LATERMy eyes scanned the place as the car pulled up to my father’s compound. As tradition demanded, I had to come visit him days after my honeymoon. I still didn’t know how I felt about my father abandoning me as a child.Did I hate him?I know I should, but for some reason I just want him to be proud of me—proud enough to accept me back as his daughter and not just a pawn in his game. He used me to boost his position among his peers. The father of the Luna—what a title.“Wait here fo

Lyra’s POVI stood underneath the shower head, letting the cold water pour down on me. Sila was in the bedroom, his eyes fixed on his tablet.I wrapped a towel around my chest and stepped out of the bathroom. His eyes instantly moved to me, a narrowing smile playing on his lips.He reached for his black hair and pushed it back. He slid out of bed and slowly walked to me. I gulped loudly as my eyes scanned his body; his abs were well defined, sweat dripping down them.“You look beautiful,” he complimented, his voice so deep it vibrated through his chest. The bedroom light was on, so I could see his face clearly.He pushed his face against mine and gently walked me against the wall. I gulped loudly as I struggled to hold the towel against my chest. “What are you doing?” My tone was low.“Being captivated by my wife’s beauty,” he responded and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. His hands moved to my towel and gently slid it off. I held it tightly. As his eyes noticed the fear in mine, he

Aria’s POV (in Silas’s Study)“I don’t understand. Why didn’t you tell me that you got injured?” I complained, pacing in front of Silas, who was seated.“It’s nothing, Aria. The doctor had treated the wound.”“Does Lyra know?”He sighed. “I can’t keep secrets from my wife,” he admitted.My heart tightened. Your wife? This woman is a stranger…“I like her,” he cut in, his expression serious.My fingers clenched tight with rage. I sucked in a deep breath, and the smell of new books followed. The maids had added a new collection of books to his shelves, but he hardly ever read them.“What do you know about her?”“She’s kind,” he said. “I know I can trust her.”I spun to face Salvatore, who had been silent. “Do you see what your master is doing? Why didn’t you say no?”Salvatore adjusted his suit before he spoke. “I don’t have the authority to speak against his decisions,” he simply said. “Also… she has not said anything to anybody.”“Yet,” I added.“She won’t, Aria,” Silas said.I knew t
