CHAPTER 53

Lyra's POV.

I watched Dr Henderson panic in my wake.

This wasn't what I expected from someone like him to hold on to such a prestigious position but sometimes you could be wrong with your assumptions and it was always better for you to just come to terms with the new facts and let other things rest instead of fighting silly.

"So this is what you've been doing? You've been behind the people who you shouldn't have ever gotten involved with in the first place." I said.

it was supposed to be a harmless remark, just making sure that I was able to sort everything out without losing my mind in the process but...

He was shivering like a leaf in a light of storm and making me wonder what he had to hide.

There was only one explanation for whatever he was doing and it was the fact that there was a whole lot involved that he would rather bury in the Sand than to bring to the Open.

Here I was saddled with the responsibility of making him realize his mistakes.

"So tell me what you were doing with your alpha's betrothed?" I demanded from him.

It was quite amazing to watch him shiver. Nobody was going to believe him by the time he told them that I came here in the flesh.

Some of them were going to think that he was basically lying and I would love to see that happen for a long time and that he tried to pick up the pieces of his life while still trying to figure out what was next.

"You shouldn't be here. If anybody finds out that you came here it's going to become a disaster, don't you even fear for your life?" He tried to push the narrative of fear into me.

I wasn't ready to give him back time of the day so he had to work even twice as hard to be able to get someone like me to be afraid of whatever he was trying to do.

Now it was my turn to make sure that I have settled everything from scratch to finish.

"Now where do you think that I'm going to? I've come to take revenge on the people who accepted for me to be pushed away. You were part of those people who didn't want me around. You could have made him not think that he had a wrong perception about the entire thing but you rather went on with it." I accused him.

I had no business fighting with any of these pack members except for the ones which I knew were in charge of all of this nonsense.

His eyes blinked twice looking for ways to pacify me or come up with ideas that were going to make me burst into laughter but I refused to give him the time of the day and that angered him.

"You know that some people would have loved to watch someone like you tell many stories but at the same time they would have to deal with the consequences on various levels. It's not really about me or the people involved." I strode towards him.

The fact that we were alone was enough to set fear into him but I was not going to let it slide just like that.

He deserved to be traumatized just the way they have banished me without any form of remorse.

"I need you to speak to Kael. He needs to know that he's in danger. I'm not going to tell him because he betrayed me." I declared.

It was almost like I was opening the entire floor with various issues but I couldn't care less.

The only thing that I cared about mostly was how far I was going to be able to achieve my goals. "If you think that it's too much of a task for someone like you then I would rather outsource to someone else who is going to take better care. I'm sure you don't want to know what that is." I drawled.

He was going to regret coming across someone like me because for the bulk of the entire event I wanted to see him suffer.

It was my major plan to make sure that he wasn't able to get out of this space for a long time.

"You know you should not really gloat about being able to sneak in and out. Somebody's bound to see you. When they do I don't think you are very sure of the consequences." He remarked.

Of course it was going to be put in such a way that it would look real but I could bet that it wasn't.

I had other things to worry about and as long as those things had not been done, he was a little fish to fry.

I raised my eyebrows daring him to continue that line of discussion and what he burned.

"Are you sure that's really one of those things you want to say?" I asked.

It wasn't nice for him to speak that way but there was also no way I could go about correcting someone who had already made up his mind to be disastrous.

The best thing that I could do was to make sure that I set him straight and until that was done, everything else was going to be at such a standstill.

I felt his presence before I even turned and I immediately dash to behind one of the cupboards.

I was not ready for him to see me again or else we were going to travel down memory lane.

"What's going on here doc?" Kael asked as soon as he walked in with his hands shoved deeper into his pockets.

"I was trying to reach out to you but Luna came sooner. I'm glad to announce to you that you are expecting a child." He announced.

I felt a wash of agony run down my spine at those words.

I should have never heard them in the first place!
