CHAPTER 59

Lyra's POV.

A little threat and a little bit of protection wasn't the way I imagined to spend the most of my life and at some point I was beginning to find it quite hard to push forward.

I had only one idea and I was trying to run with it but someone somewhere had imagined that I was not fit enough to make decisions on my own and they needed to help me with it.

"I think everyone should cool off so that we don't say things that we don't mean." Camille butt in.

It was her way of diffusing the situation but it is an aspect as hell and I couldn't even deal with the fakery anymore.

If we were going to be lying to each other all the while there was no need for us to even get back on this journey in the first place and I was standing by my words not anyone's

"Do you really think that one way or the other nobody is going to figure out that I have been here all along? If he is coming without intention, I'm sure that he knows that something is up and he is willing to find out. I'm not going to stick around and do nothing while you go about soothing your ego." I hissed

"Do you have something or are you thinking about the impact of the entire situation?" He asked lightly.

The only difference between me and him was that I was not pessimistic enough and I had been able to find a balance between being present and just going on with the flow.

One was going to end up landing me in a dilemma that I didn't think I'll be able to get myself out of.

He was not thinking straight and I didn't want to push further. Most men would rather just do whatever they wanted to and get away with it because they believed that they ruled the world without realizing that they were even levels to these things.

I took a break trying to figure out my next stance. "Do you really think that at some point there is anything that's going to catch him by surprise or there is even a whole lot more that he needs to come to terms with?" He asked, feeling a little bit entitled.

"Do you really think that there's something more involved? Do you hope that some point is going to be a little breach of contract if we come to terms with a fact earlier than normal? Selene is going to try to have my head on a platter."

There were even more reasons certain things shouldn't have been done. "Did you really think that at some point I was going to lose my mind over something so trivial? Selene is inconsequential until we make her powerful." Lucius condemned my line of thought.

I could see where this was heading but there was no need for me to continue like that.

It was deliberately to make me feel less out of myself just so that he could be able to get away with whatever he wanted to do but none of that was going to happen.

"You don't care about what it is going to bring to either of us."

"Neither do I care about her. The only thing that I care about is the fact that we have to make that money pay for his sins. He's coming as fast as he can to get rid of everybody that he can get his hands on. That's not something to negotiate."

I was thinking about how long it was going to play out and why things refused to go on the right way.

"You shouldn't bother yourself about anything that can be problematic. You should only bother yourself about what you deem fit." He pushed my efforts away again.

I knew that he didn't like the fact that I was able to stand on my own and fight for my right but that didn't still give him the audacity to do whatever he thought he did.

I had everything figured out but none of them was going to be able to stop me from getting my hands on the right things and running off with it.

At some point it was going to get toxic but I was going to forget the last abilities that I could come up with and see what next.

"Kael is not going to kill any one of us. We just need to be united enough. We need to also focus on how we should be able to get everything done."

"Yeah, right..."

"Maybe there's something else that needs to be worked on but there are even more reasons why I should keep the risks close by."

"Have you been able to fix any of the things that are necessary to make things work? If he's going to be coming then we need to be ready to meet with him. There's no need for us to come back and forth over something so gentle as this." I added it to the mix.

The only difference between me and the people that I have decided to get in contact with and as a matter of fact is that we had gotten to a point where we no longer feared what was going to happen.

They rely on me so much that I was speaking to have doubts about my abilities and nothing more.

If there was any chance that I was going to get everything on the right track, it had to be as seamless as possible.

"Kael is going to be visiting anytime soon. It's not going to be as fast as everybody thinks but I'm sure that when we are together we will be able to deal with it."

"So there's a limit to what we can tolerate and at what point does all of these break off?" He asked, looking at me for answers that he didn't even have

I took a deep breath and decided to take a risk. "Kael will be here by midnight."
