Lyra’s POV

Never say never, they said. Why? Because most times you just might find yourself in the same situation you swore to could never be in. While a lot of people said it was true, I wasn't sure I could ever relate to that saying, and even now that I could relate, I honestly found it weird, because I'd never used the phrase before.

I'd never boasted that I would never be in a particular situation, and I'd never told myself that something like this couldn't ever happen to me. If that wasn't enough to keep me immune from the statement's effects then, I wasn't sure what would suffice.

A small sigh slid past my lips as I pushed the thoughts of my head. Even in a million years, I didn't see myself doing this, but right now, I wasn't sure I had any other options waiting for me. This was the only one, a d even at that, I hated that the chances of it working out was honestly a fifty fifty percent chance.

“You can do this, Lyra.”I muttered to myself. “You can do this. I know you c

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 60

    Lyra’s POV Even in a million years, you just had to believe me when I said I didn't see this end coming. Hell, even if someone has whispered to me that this was how this night was going to go, then best believe that I would have laughed my head off before ushering them to get some drinks so they could lighten up and let loose. Right now, the chaotic scene in front of me was all the evidence I needed to know that fate just loved messing me, and this might just be the ultimate blow. The world seemed to hold its breath, and my mind couldn't have picked a more better time to do a little replay of the events that had led up to this moment. When I thought of the ball and made preparations, I knew people would come. What I didn't know, or what I underestimated, was how far and fast the invitation would spread. Everyone knew about Xavier Blackwater, they feared him, and I guess everyone finally wanted to be up close with the man who'd shut his doors so tight even he couldn't breathe. I

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 59

    Xavier’s POV I wasn't interested in the ball, no, scratch that. The fact that Lyra had planned and decorated the whole thing by herself was one of the main reasons why I'd even agreed to come here, and the fact that she'd said she had a way of getting my parliament seat today. While it all sounded dubious and kind of selfish, it honestly wasn't. As crazy as it sounded, I wanted revenge, but at the same time my seat in the parliament was going to make me powerful enough to stop Xander from treating lyra like she was trash. I didn't care for the guests that were attending, I didn't care that whispers trailed me every time I walked past, but I just couldn't sit back and watch them talk smack about Lyra. I knew how she was going to react, or else I would have slaughtered each and everyone of them, right on their spots. The whispers and everything else were really getting to Lyra, and like that wasn't enough, Emily just had to raise her ugly head tonight. The sound hit me like a th

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 58

    Lyra’s POV The ballroom was silent, deathly quiet, and if I didn't know better, coupled with the scene in front of me, I would have easily convinced myself that I'd somehow walked into a graveyard of some sort. I couldn't breathe, and no matter how hard I tried to push the breathe past my lips, it just didn't work out. For a moment it felt like the part of my brain responsible for respiration had been turned off, and it didn't help one bit that the entire place felt like time had suddenly stopped. Oh goddess,please help me.Deep down, I knew it was a lost cause. It was next to hopeless to think that she would come down to help or at least bring some sort of miracle. What was she going to do anyway? Make all the people here disappear? Or cast a spell that would make me their favorite person? All of them sounded unreasonable, and that was my sign that I was done for. Literally. The silence stretched farther than I would like, and believe me when I said the only thing that could

  • A night with my ex-husband’s step brother    Chapter 57

    Lyra’s POV The ballroom shimmered everywhere you looked, and to me, that was the first sign that I'd done a fantastic job. I'd been trying not to toot my own horn since the guests started trooping in, but apparently, all I needed to make the place really shine, was the presence of the guests who seemed to enjoy the atmosphere just as much as I did. Golden chandeliers poured light across marble floors polished to a mirror’s shine, and every corner glittered with jewels and a million sequinned gowns. Laughter echoed from each corner of the room, and while some seemed to be genuine, I didn't miss those that simply used it as a front to cover up whatever they didn't want the public finding out about.Dignitaries and Alphas from packs I had only ever heard of gathered in clusters, sipping from crystal glasses, their eyes sharp with judgment behind practiced smiles. And yet, the moment I entered, it wasn’t the chandeliers or the music I noticed. It was the stares. After my last almost
