Lyric Adams pov

I waited to be collected by Ramsey. My stomach was bothering me from my anxiety over being tested by the Alpha.

Fear of the unknown torture Rita had mentioned prior was rattling my brain.

“Should I change into something slutty?” I asked Rita and she snickered at me.

“No need, Alpha will just undress you so what's the point?”

“Has Ramsey mentioned anything more about my brother,” I inquired. I was concerned about him getting himself killed.

Shaking her head, she told me he hadn't mentioned him and that I should watch my back, so my curse wouldn't be revealed by Stella and her sister.

Pinching the bracelet tightly around my wrist, I gave her a scowl, then heard the door open.

“Lyric, Alpha is requesting you,” Ramsey called out.

“I'm glad he's our guard and not that Romanov fellow who first brought me,” I muttered blandly, and Rita eyed me curiously.

“Romanov is Alpha's errand runner, a Lycan and his right-hand man. You haven't met Lev Sidorov, who i

    Lyric Adams pov Cesan leaned over me suddenly and hovered there staring into my eyes that shone off his own. He smiled as he nodded and said, “We should head back before your brother sends guards.” I let out the breath I held, wishing for him to have kissed me, but he hadn't. “Okay,” I responded in disappointment while I lowered my face. Feeling his fingers underneath my chin, I glanced at him and grinned as he pressed his mouth firmly against mine. My hands snaked slowly around his neck, and I felt his silky hair and moaned softly against his lips. Pulling him down so I was on my back, he held my ribcage as our kiss deepened. Feeling his hardening flesh against my mons, I turned my face when Ojani murmured Camden's name. I muttered sternly, “We can't do this.” “Maybe you could come to my house and stay the night…oh shit, what am I thinking,” he growled as he sat up. Side-eyeing me with a sorrowful frown, Cesan looked ashamed of himself. “Sorry, Lyric, I um, I

    Lyric Adams pov Salem undid the buttons daftly and commented on the lovely dress. “How did you button them?” He asked me as he finished. Pretending like I hadn't heard him, I held my bodice while I grabbed a tee and my blue jeans. “Sister! Who buttoned up your gown?!” He growled sternly. “I asked Cesan to help,” I replied as I shut my bathroom door to change, then cringed, hearing him roar out Cesan's name. “ Why does he not like that man? I realize that he's jealous, but there's got to be more,” I muttered softly. “Ask Cesan during your walk. I'm sure he will be forthcoming with you,” Ojani answered. After getting dressed and hanging up the gown, I checked on my reflection, then went to Cesan's room. Standing in the hall before his door, I didn't notice Camden watching me in the shadows as I knocked. The door opened suddenly, and Casen stuck his head out and grinned. “Ready, beautiful?” Nodding, I told him yes shyly. “Fantastic,” he asserted as he exited, t

    Lyric Adams pov Unbelievable, I thought as his desk phone started ringing and he told me to wait a moment. Sitting back down, I caught movement in my peripheral vision as Salem rushed inside, glaring at our dad. “Why are they here?” He questioned me in annoyance after seeing our dad busy. Gesturing to Sin, talking on the phone, I whispered, “He believes that it will be entertaining.” Rolling his eyes, Salem shook his head as he sat beside me. “At least he didn't invite Gregory,” he mumbled, and I nodded. “No, but he invited Cesan,” I informed him, then noticed that he had a disparaging frown on his face. “Fabulous,” he growled. Hearing the phone call end, we both eyed our father, who asked Salem to take me to Janet's house. “Her sister Jessica has already created a masterpiece for your sister to try on,” he stated firmly. Shocked by that, I eyed him oddly, then remembered that she was probably gifted like Janet. While we headed toward the doorway, Sin informed

    Lyric Adams pov “Your brother didn't return with you?” My dad asked me. Heading toward him, I shook my head. “What did you mean by you having a dance?” “I want all the others of your kind to meet you. Demigods are rare, so it will benefit you to know others,” he explained as he sipped his golden liquor drink. After he swallowed, he asked me how I felt about Cesan. A grin tugged on my lip as I answered softly, “My wolf is intrigued.” Chuckling, he nodded and said, “Cesan is a good kid, so don't give credence to any foul rumors that Salem may tell you.” Furrowing my brow at him, I sat down where Cesan had been and asked why he had stopped by. Grinning slightly, Sin quipped, “He wanted to know more about you. You made quite an impression on the poor kid.” Dumbfounded by that, I shook my head, not seeing how I had done anything to pique his interest. “How old is he?” I asked curiously. “He's a fledgling, in his early twenties but very intelligent for his young age

    Lyric Adams pov As I stepped into the forest, I noticed my right foreleg emitting light and looked at it to see my Crescent Moon mark glowing brightly through my fur. Peering up at Salem, his ribcage mark was shining brightly, too. Feeling my eyes on him, he lifted his arm to view his mark and said, “It's because we are in a God's forest, and it helps identify our lineage to the others.” Nodding I grew curious about who else would be within the mystical forest and ran ahead a few feet of my brother to find out. “Hey, I brought a robe with me in case you needed to shift to meet with anyone we may come across,” he sighed. I tilted my head at him while I growled low in acknowledgment. Preparing to dash off away from him, Salem groaned, sensing my intention. “Wait for me,” Salem shouted while I jumped over fallen logs and snickered at him, having to keep up. Running deep into the thick trees was freeing, and I was enjoying myself immensely. The new scents and sights fa

    Lyric Adams pov Devastated, I peeked up at my dad, offering his hand to me. “Don't lose hope, Lyric,” he asserted as he squeezed my hand, and we exited his office for the empty living room. The scent of Camden still lingered in the air, and a tear traveled down my cheek. “I thought wolf mates cherished one another,” I muttered sullenly. “Lycans are more rough around their edges, and they are very stubborn and closed off. It takes time for them to realize what is right in front of their faces,” Salem growled as he stepped out of the shadows. Looking at him and his red eyes, I asked if Camden acted peculiar when he left. “No Sis, but that annoying female was behaving more flighty than usual and was waving a check around, telling everyone that she was rich," he answered, and I inhaled sharply as I eyed my father. “He was conflicted when you came out from your hiding spot. His heartbeat skipped when he saw you, but his thoughts remained unreadable,” Sin informed me Tears rolled
