CHAPTER 16

Lyra's POV.

My heart initially skipped a beat as soon as those words rolled off his tongue.

I had to come up with an excuse and I meant it as fast as possible. He was going to figure out that I was lying through my teeth and wasn't going to let me go except I had proven my existence.

I also did not think that anything was going to be wrong with doing any of that besides the fact that I have to be as conscious not to divert such a sensitive secret.

"Really?"

It was a huge way of putting back what I imagined was the right thing and still hoping that I will be able to out smart him one way or the other for him not to figure out what I was up to.

"You don't want to get on my nerves."

It was a warning that even I could not resist so I did the most ridiculous thing that I could come up with.

I folded my arms and crossed my chest pretending like I didn't know why he was asking me who I was and kept staring at him.

"I'm sorry for acting that way but..."

I tried to run out of the room but it was only going to put me in the wrong position which was not something that I wanted to get into right now.

All I needed was an escape that was not going to point fingers at me and then I could start all over again with my excuses but for now...

"Running aways only going to make you look like a criminal even more than you already are. If I were you, I would focus on what is. Don't you think that you owe me the truth?" He inquired.

He was only letting me get away with this because he wanted to prove that I was truly a rogue.

"I didn't know where I was going." I insisted my lies

If he was going to catch me then I was going to give him permission and not the other way around.

I had figured a way of getting him off my back forever but it was not going to be as simple as I had imagined it.

He was very sensitive and knew when people were lying to him

I wasn't expecting him to allow this slide like it was nothing but I was expecting that he gave me some grace that helped me out.

I had already figured out many ways to put certain things into perspective but I was still waiting for the ball to drop

It wouldn't be really too bad if I was able to figure out the way of getting him completely off, that was going to save me the stress and also help me stay in shape.

I knew that it was going to be hard but I would be able to figure it out if I truly set my heart to it.

"Right..."

He raised his hands and came closer causing me to jump back a bit.

I wasn't expecting him to believe me but I wasn't also expecting him to stretch for his hands and try to smack me.

"You must have something to hide if you think that everyone is out to get you. Telling me the truth is only the first step for you to get out of this place alive." He dished out the threat with so much poise.

I had nothing to lose nor win, but I had only one thing and that was wit.

It was going to save me in unruly circumstances and make me get out of it without anyone catching a hold of what I was capable of doing.

I smile at him. "Aren't you attracted to me alpha? I saw the way your eyes kept roaming all over my skin out there. You cannot deny that we have a connection deeper than what anybody would want to admit to. Let's quickly get on with it instead of destroying this with things that do not matter."

Don't blame me for trying to seduce him even if I didn't know what I was doing but I knew that if I was about to get this right I had to do it in such a way that nobody would be able to figure out the lapses.

"Coming on to me is the most foolish thing that you would have ever done to yourself. I'm sure you're going to have yourself to blame by the time all of these blows off."

I forgot that he wasn't an easy man to please, so anything that I did was always going to rub up on him wrongly and leave me with an angry man that would never forget this incident.

Sometimes I went overboard with the way I handled situations but could anyone blame me for doing whatever I have to do just to save the Day? I didn't think so.

"Maybe I'm the one a little bit paranoid but I saw the way your eyes kept roaming about over me and I know that this is going to be a great time for us to express ourselves. I can give you what you want..."

He flashed his teeth, "this is your last warning. Tell me what the hell sent you here and I might consider sparing your life. Doing anything other than that is tantamount to treachery and I'm going to make sure that you pay dearly for it."

I was already about to pay for it but I was not going to give him that impression that I was scared about it being he was about to dish out.

"Maybe you just have to take some time off, you don't have to worry about me or anybody else. We have everything covered already. It is up to you to start up and see what you would be able to bring out of this. I'm sure you already have a blueprint."

"Alpha, there are rogues in the building!" Someone yelled from behind
