CHAPTER 22

Lyra's pov

Harrison had not the slightest idea that I knew who he was or else he would have immediately banished me

to the stakes but I was thankful that he didn't have prior knowledge or else it was going to be a disaster for me.

We locked eyes for a moment staring at each other and waiting for the right time to begin to start the next mission.

I didn't think that it was going to be easiest especially with him asking irrelevant questions but here I was open to learning on the job.

"Blauwald Pack would never behave this way so you better come up with another lie."

He was acting too pompous from my liking and that made me want to change the tempo of everything that he considered true because they were not at least to a large extent.

"You can ring our alpha. I'm sure he wouldn't have any issues reaching out to you in return." I said confidently looking him in the eye so that he didn't realize that we were just lying.

Any small issue we're going to get caught and I did not mean in a small way. It was going to end up in much more disaster than we had planned for and that was not something that I was also willing to take the risk for.

Camille and I had to come together to be able to defeat this man who looked at us like he knew our deepest secrets.

Was he to blame? No.

Kael had left this job to our hands and went after bigger fish to fry.

"You might think you are fooling everybody but you cannot fool me because I know that there's something fishy about your presence. I just need one of you to slip up and that is going to tell me what I need to know." He promised.

Of course he was going to act like he already had everything figured out when he didn't even have the slightest idea of who we were.

"We are not who you think we are and we would appreciate it if you treated us with more respect than what you are dishing out to us." Camille spat.

I thought that I was problematic with the way I dealt with a lot of things but I didn't know that I had someone who didn't also want to be treated like trash.

I hated it when others made it feel like I was the only one who could not endure a few criticisms when they also hated it.

"Tell that to somebody else who cares to listen because that's not me. Also look at me carefully, I'm not going to let this continue to the point where I can no longer bear it. If you need anything you better ring the alpha and make sure that you have good commitment. You cannot accuse us of the wrong things." Camille pointed in his face A look of confusion passed through his eyes and I knew that we had sold him into the ditch. We just needed to solidify our claims with better evidence that was not going to leave us hung and dry.

"Tell me your names and your positions. I can smell the sewer on you."

The insult dripped down his tongue easily. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Tell him you have Amelia and Sophie. He already knows who we are. I'm sure I'll be getting out of this place before dawn." Camille responded bravely.

I was not stupid enough to jump into issues that I had no prior warning about so I let her get away with whatever she wanted to do and just folded my arms and watched.

This was the best thing that I could do regarding the situation now that I knew that everything had been twisted one way or the other and I had low backup besides Camille.

I wasn't sure that Lucius was going to show and that taught me something else. If I was going to be fighting for a cause I'd better be sure that the person in question was also ready.

"Oh, you are some smart mouth right? It's all a matter of time before everything comes crashing down and then you would beg me to release you but then I would not accept it!"

Threats had never worked on me especially when it came to things like this but I let him feel that important because it was necessary for his well-being.

Also we need to brainstorm and not allow some distractions stop us from getting our plans done.

I guess Camille shared the same sentiments because she let him continue ranting while not getting anything out of us.

"When I'm done with you you would regret ever crossing my path. I'm not saying this to get you excited but I'm telling the truth and expecting that you know what's good for you." He promised.

If I was any wiser I would have gone backwards but I refuse to take that risk instead I just followed through with what I already had in mind and that was pretending like we were that helpless.

A few minutes of silence and we kept staring back at each other. It was at some point that we decided to turn and we looked at the window.

Lucius stood there wearing a cloak in broad daylight!

"What are you doing here?" I whispered.

"Getting you out of this place. You're welcome to stay longer if you wish." He retorted sarcastically, throwing the keys at us.

What would want to stay inside a confinement for the rest of their lives? The both of us picked up the pace.

How Kael had made it easy for us to escape was something that I was never going to understand but this wasn't time for me to start thinking about that instead it was time for me to make decisions and get out of this place before it was too late.
