A night with my ex-husband’s step brother Chapter 62
Xavier’s POV The gardens were alive with laughter, and it made my stomach churn. It wasn't the shallow, performative kind nobles wore like masks, but a genuine deep, rolling, and untamed one. There were hints of mockery dripping from it, but there was something else that stuck to me. I knew that sound too well and even if I'd just woken up from a coma, I would be able to recognize whom that voice belonged to. Anywhere, anytime . Xander. The mere thought of him was more than enough to have my insides flailing in anger and nothing else. While every part of me wanted nothing more than to charge out there and find out what the fuck was so funny, I didn't. I froze on the stone path, partly cloaked in the shade of an arch draped with climbing vines. My gaze was drawn to the sight unfolding a few paces away, and the moment I noticed he was standing too close to her, to Lyra, something inside me snapped into two. Her back was stiff, her head tilted ever so slightly away as thoug

Lyra’s POV I used to blame all of the bad things that happened to me on that moon goddess, since I liked to think that she had a hand in whatever evil thing I experienced. But right now,, and with the man standing in front of me, I couldn't help but feel inclined to think otherwise. Maybe the moon goddess and fate weren't the only ones after my downfall. Somewhere along the line, the devil must have been added to the list, because there was no way the moon goddess would hate me this much to always fill my ways with obstacles. It just wasn't possible. Time seemed to drag to a halt as I took in the man in front of me. He hadn't changed one bit, but there was something different in his aura, something dangerous, and I wasn't sure that was exactly a good thing. “What are you doing here?” I muttered the courage to ask again, but my courage didn't mean shit to this man. “Why are you here and not him?” The quiet of Xavier’s office pressed against me like a weight. I had only

Lyra’s POV The chamber fell silent, and it wasn't the God kind. It was good the kind of silence that rang louder than any war drum, and with each passing second, I felt like I was going to combust into a million tiny pieces and never come back. Now that I thought about it, it didn't sound like such a bad idea. At least, if I was no more, I wouldn't have to deal with Xavier’s death glare that was currently burying daggers into my spine. if someone has whispered into my ears hours before this ball, that this was how things were going to turn out tonight, then best believe I wouldn't have taken it serious. I was well aware of my bad luck with mother nature and the goddess, so I made sure I prayed hard that everything would go smoothly. I honestly thought she'd heard he because the ball started out so well, then why did she have to do this to me last minute? I wanted to say it wasn't my fault, but at the same time, no one else actually had a fault either. I did what I had to do, a

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

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

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
