JAKE'S POV

A soft knock on the door yanked me back to my mind from my afternoon siesta. I had been thinking of Gregory's revelation about my mum and my step-brother, which was confirmed after I saw one of Pandora’s letters in my late mum’s box. I didn't realize when I slept through my thoughts.

“You can come in!” I answered in a groggy and hoarse tone. My voice, still cracking from the long sleep.

The door softly creaked open, and Charlie walked in. His face reeked with fear. “You don't have to act like you just stepped into a hanging room, waiting to be executed. Ease off, man!” I pulled off my duvet, sliding my feet into my slippers.

“Good afternoon, Your Grace! I apologize for disrupting your rest. Maybe I could return later,” he said, leaning in a bow.

“Come off it! What do you have for me? Are there any developments?” I queried, raking my hands through my hair in front of my dressing mirror. “God! I look so messy, I think I need a haircut,” I muttered under my breath before shift

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 153

    LYRA’S POV THREE WEEKS LATER….. It was a bright, sunny day in Shadowclaw today. Not the type that burns the skin and worsens the agonies of life, but the type that makes the air lighter. You would feel the mild breeze gliding through. One would think it had always been this rosy. The Pack house was buzzing with life. Soft hums of exotic cars gliding into the parking lot. The clicking sounds of camera shutters on the red carpet. Children, laughing and running through the field with petals in their hands. I stood by my window, taking in all these beautiful views until my door pushed open. “What took you so long? The guests are already here?” I asked, not out of anger, but out of excitement as Abigail rolled in a hanger bearing my luxurious mating gown. “I’m so sorry, Ma’am. There was a little glitch causing the delay,” Abigail explained. “Oh! It’s fine!” I responded, waving off the apology. Jake had hired the best designer to make my dress from scratch. I couldn’t wait to

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 152

    LYRA’S POVThe howls of the patrol wolves echoed through the quiet night. I sat on my bed, running my finger across the edges of the crystal box, thinking of the worst that could happen tonight.What if I failed? What if Selene was wrong? What if Jake never wakes up? I stared into blank space, barely taking cognizance of anything. My mind was a battlefield. I struggled relentlessly with doubt and my fears. Jake can be a handful, but my heart still yearned for him.“I am yet to understand why you are panicking. Did you forget my brain also hurts when you stress yours with this kind of thought? Gosh! Sometimes I miss the days when we weren't in sync,” Tara's voice tore through my clouded mind. “You have faced greater things than this, so, you shouldn't let doubt creep into you!” She spat.“Besides, you are not the only one with something to lose. I've got Lucio to lose if anything happens! But you know what? I am not fidgeting because you are the game changer! You can do it!” Tara igni

    LYRA'S POV“No No!” I yelled, panting, as I ran through a void. “I'd destroy you!” An eerie voice echoed all around me. Spinning both ways, my eyes widened in search of the voice. My foot, leaving prints behind me.“You can only run, but you cannot hide!” a spooky cackle echoed, jolting me into reality.I thrashed frantically, my duvet wrapping around my legs. Finally breaking free, I sat up with a strangled gasp. My heart, threatening to escape my chest. Darkness still covered the room. I could still hear the voice in my head.A hand slid around my waist. Tremor instantly ran down my spine. I instinctively flinched, grabbing the hand before my mind could tell me I wasn’t alone in the room.“Shuu… Easy babe. It’s me…. It’s me, Jake. Are you okay?” Jake held on tight to me. Turning to my right, I realized it was still 3:15 a.m. I clutched my chest, steadying my breath. “Same dream?” Jake asked, gently pulling me into his arms. I buried my face into his chest, grasping his pajamas a

    LYRA'S POV“Leo?” I whispered his name in shock, tears rushing into my eyes. “Leo?” I called out again, this time giving him a slight push. His eyes flashed with terror. Leo struggled, choking on his blood with laboured breaths. I tore off his shirt, rolling it over the wound.“Stay with me!” My breath shook as I applied pressure to it. Leo thrashed weakly, his bloodied hand slapping against my arm as if trying to hold on.“L..Ly…Lyra,” he choked. His eyes batted as he struggled with death. “I…I'm sorry. Please…” his voice quaked.“Shush! Shush! It's okay! I'm here! It's okay. Please stay with me,” my heart raced. “We will both walk out of here and I can punch you in the face later,” A thin film of saliva flew out of my mouth hanging on my lips as I tried to chuckle amid my breakdown.Pulling away from him, I tried to summon something within me. Perhaps something to buy him sometime till we walk out of here. Leo had hurt me, but he was still my brother and I wasn't going to forgive m

    LYRA'S POV“Thank goodness! She's stable now! I heard the first voice exclaim.“Lyra! Lyra!” I heard a muffled call; not certain it was from the first voice. My ears still rang from the high-pitched force that propelled me back to reality.Chaos, grunts, groaning, and shots I perceived might be from a gun all echoed in my head but I could barely move a muscle. Worn out from the expended energy back in the realm, my body screamed for a moment of relaxation. Sadly, I just stepped into the second phase of the night.I squinted, slowly peeling my eyes open but everything still blurred before me until it all came into focus.“Jake?” I rasped, a small smile plastered on my face. “You came for me,” I breathed my words in a slow, low tone.“Shush!” He hushed me. “You don't have to say anything. I'm here now!” He cooed, supporting my head, brushing off my hair from my face. I also caught a glimpse of Leo. Shocked yet too weak to express it. How on earth are two arch enemies aligning together?

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 148

    LYRA’S POVI was so concerned with tending to Tara's broken limb that I paid less attention to Valkyrie, costing me my stance. I barely heard the pile of rocks move until a clamp-like grip around my neck and yanked me off her. A sharp breath was knocked out of my lungs as my body slammed into a stone. The impact of the back of my head against the stone sent a sharp wave of pain through my body, blurring my vision for some seconds.He wasted no time coming for me again. I barely had time to recover from the first hit.“You thought...” he growled, grabbing a fistful of my hair, “ You thought that strength comes from sentiment?” He slammed my back into a pillar. The stone cracked, so did something in my rib cage.I winced, writhing in intense pain, Blood from my split brow streamed into my eyes down my face. “You and Iris and every one of the worthless bearers she picks thinks you can change destiny?” he hissed through gritted teeth. "But it always ends the same way for each of you," h
