Lyra's POV

The castle felt different at night. No, scratch that. The castle felt different tonight, and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out if it had anything to do with the fact that it had changed since my absence, or I was simply feeling this way because I was moving like I didn't belong here.

What if it was both?

The torches that usually bathed the hallways in golden light were dimmer now, their flames flickering with uncertainty, like even they could sniff that something was wrong somewhere. I'd heard that things like this usually hinted subtly at something going wrong, and I couldn't help but pray it wouldn't be the same in my scenario.

I was cloaked in a long brown robe that dragged slightly behind me, the hood drawn over my head. Ophelia led the way through the servant halls, her steps sure and silent. She hadn’t said a word since we left my room. Not one, and I wasn't sure how I felt about that.

“Are you sure this will work?” I whispered as we paused behind a st

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 45

    Lyra’s POV I always prided myself on the fact that not a lot of things surprised me or left me speechless, and while that had been going on for the longest time, I never thought there would be a day when I would end my lifelong streak. In fact, I had no idea which was worse, the fact that I'd lost the said streak, or how I'd lost it. I lost it by a fucking kiss with Xavier. My mind swirled with a million and one thoughts. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get it out of my head, and it didn't even help that the said man's lips were still pressed against mine, like he could spend the rest of his life in this position, only if I let him. Time seemed to come to a halt, and for a moment, I was this close to thinking that my heart had stopped working. But apparently, all it needed to jerk start to life was Xavier pulling my bottom lip in between his teeth. A shiver ran down my spine, and it took everything not to let the moan at the base of my throat from slipping out. “Ly

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 44

    Lyra’s POV For the next couple of seconds, I couldn't breathe, neither could I think. I had no idea how it had happened, or if it had in fact, but I guess somehow and somewhere, the part of my brain responsible for thinking or what not, had suddenly shut down. I tried, several times, but Id never felt this way before. The moment Xavier’s footsteps faded down the hall, the silence wrapped around me like a vice. It coiled around me like a venomous snake circling its prey, just waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Guilt and a hint of something else thudded in my chest, and I hated how it felt like a fucking freight train was ramming into me and pressing against my rib cages. After what seemed like forever, I told myself that it was fine. That letting him go, letting him have his space, was the right thing to do.I repeated it like a mantra, as if sheer will could smother the gnawing ache in my chest.But his voice wouldn’t leave me. Every word from earlier circled back, sharp

    Chapter 43Lyra's POV I wanted to breathe, but for the life of me, I just couldn't figure out how to anymore. It was as if the part of me responsible for sending commands to other parts of my body had totally shut down, and it didn't look like something that would be turning back on anytime soon. Xavier on the other hand, didn't seem to care. If he did, he was doing a mighty fine job at hiding it, and deep down, I wasn't sure if I was impressed by it, or simply terrified. His grip on the wall, and next to my head was firm and unyielding. I also didn't miss the heat of his palm searing through my sleeve as my back pressed into the wall. In all my life, I wasn't sure I'd felt the urge to disappear as much as I felt it now. I wasn't sure I believed in witches or magic, but right now, I wouldn't mind possessing the power to teleport, or be invisible at least. That way, I would be able to stay clear of Xavier's radar till he was completely cool and calm. I could feel every inch o

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 42

    Lyra's POV The first thing I noticed was the scent.Not the rough tang of damp stone from Redmoon’s cells, but warm cedar, faint smoke, and the underlying pull that told me exactly who it belonged to. I didn't want to believe it, but the more I tried to convince myself otherwise, that I could very well be wrong, the more my heart told me I knew very well the person it belonged to. No. Xavier.I hated how he was the first person that came to mind, when I was still and barely trying to get a hold on myself. A dull throb formed at the back of my head, and when I tried to turn to the other side , I didn't miss how quickly the dull ache spread to the other side. It felt like my head was on fire, and every part of my body was just waiting for the right time to collapse. Slowly ,I blinked back to the present, taking in the room. It was llarge, but not ostentatious. Dark wood walls surrounded me, with heavy curtains pulled halfway open to let in pale light. There was a wide bed with r

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 41

    Xavier's POV The scent of Redmoon hit me the second I crossed the border, and I wouldn't be exaggerating when I said it still wasn't one of my favorite scents in the world . My horse galloped underneath me, and with each stomp of its hooves against the earth, I felt my wolf surge so violently that I nearly lost the thin leash I had on him. He was this close to breaking free, and even though I was a reckless bastard, I think it was safe to say that my wolf was much worse. Whatever damage I thought I could do, my wild could do it ten times better and I would be fucking proud of him. A thought came to mind, but I pushed it aside immediately. It took absolutely nothing for me to let him loose, but deep down, I feared Lyra's reaction. She wouldn't like it if I rained more havoc on the one place she was trying to bring peace to, and that was the only reason I hadn't started my intended massacre from the guards Redmoon placed at their borders. If Lyra was the least bit anything like me,

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 40

    Lyra's POV I woke up with a sharp gasp, and believe me when I said it wasn't the best experience out there. The first thing my tired self felt was the stone beneath my cheek. It was cold, unforgiving and I hated how its icy tendrils seemed to have taken root deep inside my bones. A shiver raced down my spine, and in an attempt to get any bit of warmth I could find, all I came up with was the chattering of my teeth. For a second, I didn’t know where I was, and then it all came crashing back, even though I wished it didn't .The betrayal hit me first. If I wasn't sitting in the same cell Xander had had me sent to yesterday, then I never would have believed that sort of a thing could happen. The letter….I trailed off in my thoughts as my hand moved instinctively to my pocket. My fingers brushed the folded paper I’d fallen asleep clutching, and I felt my heart drop to my feet. I hadn't sent it. I thought I did. A small part of me had hoped that someone would walk by my cell last n
