Chapter 19

Lyra’s POV

The first thing I felt was warmth. Not the kind that made you sigh with relief, but the heavy kind, the kind that draped over you like a fever, dragging you under a black spot one wasn't sure you would be able to get out of. A small burst of pain spread throughout the back of my head. It echoed and throbbed, like a group of monkeys had been hired and were now playing a live band in some spot hidden deep inside my brain.

My eyes were still closed, and even the mere thought of peeling them open just didn't sit right with me. I had no idea where I was, but I summoned the courage to turn to the other side. I let out a small sigh of relief when the surface beneath me turned out to be soft and almost velvety, but my mini victory didn't exactly last long,as another pang of pain sprang forth.

A good percentage of my limbs were numb, but nothing felt broken. Perhaps I was in shock, or worse , on my way to the afterlife, I couldn't tell. Whatever it was though, I was

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 37

    Xavier's POV The room was stifling, despite the open window letting in the evening breeze. The sky was beautiful, and from how clear it was, I couldn't shake off the fact that the night would be even more beautiful. That phenomen would give even an insane man a small amount of peace, but not me. Something still stirred in me like I was missing something, like I was missing something vital, and it irritated the fuck out of me. I paced the length of my quarters like a caged predator, muttering to my beneath my breath. I had ine hand clenched at my side while the other dragged through my tousled hair. My appearance had been pristine at first in the morning, but now, now I looked like I just returned from exile. “She wasn’t at breakfast,or the war council. Or the courtyard,* I mumbled to myself, whilst ticking off the numbers on my hands one by one. “Where the hell is she?”I paused, but only to glare at the untouched tray of food on the table. The servants had brought it earlier

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 36

    Lyra's POV The guards didn’t cuff me, but they might as well have. I used to think being under arrest always involved handcuffs and the usual ceremonies of parading them around and what not were the most humiliating tbat could happen to them, but right now, I couldn't help but realize how wrong I was. Very very wrong. At least those criminals being pushed and jeered at got some kind of contact with other people, no matter how wrong or twisted it was. In a nutshell, anything they did to them was far more better than the isolation I was currently facing. The guards shadows stayed glued to my sides as I trudged back through the gates of Redmoon, flanked like a prisoner they weren’t allowed to touch yet. I didn’t speak, neither did I look at anyone. I just stared straight ahead, through the courtyard I’d once bled for, past the stone pillars still marked with blood stains from the lase massacre we had. Xavier. I hated how he could just pop up in my mind at the most random times,

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 34

    Chapter 34Lyra’s POV I was being watched, those were the words I whispered to myself after my little encounter with servant a couple of hours ago. I tried to shake it off, I really did, but the more I tried, the nurse I felt. I knew a lot of people would be quick to rule it out as paranoia, but I knew better. This wasn't just me being extra jerky, it was something more. In my attempt to find out an escape route, maybe, just maybe, I'd dug a little bit too much, and now, I'd made my back a target for someone who wanted to know what I was up to. Shit. As the time slowly ticked by, so did my mind welcome more and more awful thoughts. Had the servant gone to run her tiny little mouth where she wasn't supposed to? Did she somehow suspect that my reasons for all those questions weren't just plain curiosity or worse, had someone overheard our conversation? If yes, then chances that Xavier already heard it was astronomically high at this point. Fuck. What the hell was I supposed to

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 33

    Chapter 33Lyra's POV The storm in Xavier’s eyes hadn’t settled since we returned from the watchtower, a f I hated it. I hated how unsettled it made me I was restless, and no matter how I tried to play it off that his dad demeanor wasn't affecting me, I knew better. Way better. He hadn’t said much, anything at all, but the words scrawled in Xander’s letter, each vile threat and slur, kept replaying in my head like a chant I couldn’t shut off. Even if I did try to turn it off for a couple of seconds, I trusted my mind to turn it back on again. As crazy as it sounded, my mind even went as far as making up words that Xander could have included in his letter to me and Xavier "Slut. Traitor.” more and more words echoed in my ears. “You’ll pay for this."My stomach churned, but not just out of fear. It was anger, with a mix of something else, something I could easily refer to as sadness. The anger I felt was a hollow, gnawing anger that I couldn't do anything while the people I on

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 32

    Chapter 32Lyra's POV I hated how I'd been rendered speechless a little too much these days. It happened more often than I liked, and one would think that somehow, I was getting used to it, but I was wrong. Very very wrong.Time seemed to slow around us, and I wouldn't say I blamed it one bit. I'd realized that every bit of my life could easily be referred to something straight out of a TV show, and this could very well be one of it. For the next couple of seconds, no one dated to speak. Not me, not the servant that had brought the message, not Xavier. While me and the guard were quiet because we had no idea what the message meant for us, I could very well tell that Xavier was boiling with anger. I wasn't a mind reader, but I wouldn't be surprised if the man was already cooking up a plan that would bring Xander back to his knees again, and in the worst way possible this time. “You may leave.” Someone's gruff voice was all ot took to pull me out of my thoughts. I blinked back to
