LYRA'S POV

I can literally taste the blatant disrespect in the air as the crowd thundered with questions and hails for the wolf who had just spoken.

"How do you want to handle this?" Keyon spoke in a low tone beside me. I saw his fingers clench around his spoon as he eyed the crowd.

"Just watch."

The crowd eventually grew quiet when they saw I was not falling for their taunts or even trying to calm them down.

"Miss, you can go take your seat now," I told the wolf.

"Excuse me?"

"You can go take

  • A MATE WORTH HATING    CHAPTER THIRTY

    LYRA'S POV My entire body hurt. In fact, it felt like I had taken a brutal beating from a pack of frontline warriors. I tried to ignore the healer rummaging around me, keeping my eyes squeezed shut. Tears had leaked down my cheeks when I initially woke up and blinked open to the blinding glare of far too many candles. Footsteps thundered out in the corridor, and I instantly realized I was far too hyper-aware of my surroundings. It felt like I was a newborn again, like the exact day my wolf had first awakened inside me. Was this the lingering effect of nearly dying, combined with Ronan Blackthorne's incessant, turbulent thoughts flooding across the bond with lightning precision? I didn't know if he was doing it deliberately or if my end of the bond was simply too weak to shut him out. Time and time again, I could feel him lingering so close in the connection that it felt like he was lying right beside me. In fact, I wasn't even sure he had let up on the bond the entire time

  • A MATE WORTH HATING    CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

    RONAN'S POVI scoff at the smug look on Nicole's face as I walk into the conference room."Make it quick," I snap, sinking into one of the empty seats."Ross?" Nicole calls out, and one of Misthollow's wolves steps forward. For some reason, he looks nervous as hell."Well..." I say through clenched teeth. I didn't have all day to sit here and play whatever game Nicole was trying to orchestrate."I... I was one of the warriors who shook down your guard while he was delivering the medicine to the Alpha," Ross stammers.That instantly makes me sit up. After a heartbeat, I stand and slowly approach the trembling wolf."You are not allowed to lay a finger on him," Nicole says defensively, stepping into my path. "Let's hear what he has to say first.""If I wanted to lay a hand on him, his legs would already be dangling off the floor," I reply nonchalantly, turning my gaze back to the warrior. "Do you know that your victim is dead?"His eyes widen to the size of silver coins, and he shakes h

    RONAN'S POV"For someone who has been so adamant about being innocent in Lyra's condition, you sure are awfully happy to hear about this," Keyon scoffs.This runt."Of course I'm happy to hear this news. It helps set in motion the events that will lead to the execution of whoever thought they could hurt Lyra," I snap back. "Honestly, you should be happy, too."I look at Keyon again and almost laugh at the look on his face, because if the only elder of my pack currently stationed at Misthollow had just been bumped up to the top of the suspect list, I'd probably look like that, too.Especially if I were a self-righteous bastard.But I wasn't. I was Ronan Blackthorne, the dark menace , and I was going to make whoever did this to Lyra pay with their life.I motioned to one of the Misthollow warriors inside the tent to go fetch Marco and a few of my own commanders, because I couldn't help noticing that I was severely outnumbered in this room.A few minutes later, the warrior, Commander Spe

    RONAN'S POVI snatch the parchment out of Nicole's hands and spread open the wrinkled paper. My brows climb when I finally see what is written inside."It's empty." I eye her as I shove the letter back toward her."Yes, it's empty. But aside from your handwriting addressing the letter to my Alpha, there are traces of rust," she presses."You can't possibly tell me you don't see how suspicious this is?" one of Lyra's commanders argues.Actually, it was suspicious, but I was finding it hard to remember when I had ever sent Lyra a completely blank letter."It's not just one letter, either." Commander Ed steps forward, pulling out four more parchments, and the memory of how those notes ended up in Lyra's hands suddenly clicks into place.Fuck."After the riot where Lyra was attacked, she was patched up by my sister," I inform them, keeping my voice steady. "She wouldn't accept any direct help from us, but Ana was worried, so I had the healing herbs wrapped in letters and sent to her every

  • A MATE WORTH HATING    CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

    RONAN'S POVMy body felt far too heavy to move, and my mouth tasted as though a healer had just brewed a toxic concoction inside it. Yet, none of that mattered compared to the steady, comforting rhythm of Lyra's consciousness finally stabilizing at the edge of the mate bond.I forced my eyes open, instantly wincing and snapping them shut against the harsh glare. Who on earth had lit up every single candle in this room?Shielding my eyes with my palm, I tried again, adjusting to the light until I felt a bit more steady. I stood unsteadily on my feet and slipped out of the recovery chamber, immediately heading down the hall to the room where Lyra was being kept.I pushed the door open to find her resting on the exact same bed, breathing easily and sleeping peacefully. I closed the door behind me and walked slowly, still a bit stiff, to sit in the armchair beside her bedside.Her color looked much better. As much as her lips still retained a faint blue tint, I couldn't help noticing they

  • A MATE WORTH HATING    CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

    RONAN'S POV"What did you say?" I ask."Ronan, she's going to die. In a matter of hours. There's nothing I can do to stop the rapid spread of the poison."Earlier, Nicole had made it clear that she didn't want either me or Keyon involving ourselves in the matter, but at this point, if I didn't do anything, Lyra was going to die."Do we have any antidotes here?" I ask Ana."No, we don't. But I have medicines that can slow the poison considerably, at least until a proper antidote can be synthesized or found.""Grab them and come with me."When I step outside, I wave down one of my warriors, ordering him to dispatch an emissary to scour neighboring packs and Blackthorne for any known treatments.Misthollow warriors patrol the camp grounds relentlessly, their eyes fixed on me with heavy suspicion as I pass.Six guards block my path when I reach the medical quarters."Tell Nicole and Elder Rowe that I need to see them," I announce.The warriors eye me coldly. "They are trying to save the A
