Lyric Adams pov “Let's head back so I can discuss this with my brother,” Camden asserted, and I screwed my face. My wolf still hadn't given me any advice other than running away. “I refuse him as well, Camden. I'd rather remain your slave than be his Luna,” I said sternly. Glancing at me with a smirk, he told me he was supposed to be the Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack, but Gregory took it against their dad's dying wish. “Would you be my Luna if I were Alpha there, Lyric?” He pried, and I huffed. “I don't believe that I could tolerate Stella or Jasmine, so no, I wouldn't,” I responded honestly. “What if I left them here, then would you?” He questioned huskily as he stepped closer. Inhaling his scent, my heartbeat skipped as I swallowed nervously and looked at his glowing eyes. “I would have to mull it over,” I replied quietly, and he lifted my chin as he neared my face. “I should have listened to Victor, but it was too unbelievable to comprehend. I never thought
Lyric Adams pov Hearing Willow's light snoring, I soon joined her in a healing sleep. Unfortunately, my body was healing, but my trauma was untouched, and when I awoke the following morning, I was in a detached mood. “How are you? Did your wolf heal you, um, downstairs?” Willow asked, and I nodded. “Yeah, I just feel a little sore, but it's manageable,” I said softly. “Let's go to the kitchen and start our day,” she sighed. After dressing in jeans and a tee, I followed her to the packhouse kitchen. I saw my old Alpha's red-eyed guard, and he instantly focused on me as I entered the area. Lowering my eyes, I tried to hide from the huge Lycan guard, but he started to stride straight to me. “Miss Adams, let me see your brand,” he ordered. Reluctantly, I turned my wrist and peeked at him to see his eyes widen. Without saying anything, he grabbed my arm and then turned abruptly. He dragged me off, leaving me to question what he was doing. “Where are you taking me?!”
Lyric Adams pov “Bring her to my room,” Willow asserted to Victor, then added, “I can help her more than the doctor at the infirmary can.” I watched her through narrowed eyes. My soul had retreated, and my heart was heavy in my chest from Camden's harsh words. Stopping in the kitchen, Willow scurried around, grabbed different ingredients, and began putting them into a cup. She quickly made a concoction, and after stirring it, she held it out to me and told me to drink it. Refusing it, I covered my face with my arm. “Just let me die, I have nothing to live for,” I said softly, and Willow glared at me in Victor's arms. My wolf, Ojani, was annoyed with my words but remained silent. Facing me, Willow gripped my wrist and turned the brand there for me to see. “Lyric! The Crescent Moon brand is whole and means that you are a Luna,” she asserted as I covered it with my hand and shook my head. “I'm an omega slave,” I retorted, making her huff. “You're a moonless shifter, Lyr
Alpha Camden Sinclair's pov “That was an easy five grand,” I chuckled to my guard, Victor. “Your Lycan is very impressive, Alpha,” Victor mumbled and added that we would arrive at the pack in mere minutes. “I can't believe that this was all over a bet on whether your Lycan could take down an adult bison bull,” he added softly, making me grin. “I had to prove my point to that bastard Alpha Fredrick. He is a cocky asshole who has lost five grand and a whole bison. It will feed the packhouse well,” I snickered as we drove up the driveway to my house. After we parked, I jumped from my vehicle and stuffed the wad of cash into my pocket as I entered my home. I stopped suddenly at seeing my older brother as his Lycan sitting in my living room. “Is that a package of frozen vegetables on your privates? Erm, did you get another dick piercing?” I questioned him curiously. He glanced up at me with a fat bloody lip and a sour disposition. “That wolfless bitch is a hellion. I told
Lyric Adams pov Stepping next to the window, I glanced around at the ground below to see pack members and guards mingling about. “Guess I will be able to witness Gregory's arrival from here,” I muttered sullenly and turned to see Willow entering our room. “Now that you know that you're Luna, you don't believe that you need to help wash dishes,” she accused me with a smirk as I shook my head. “I want to wash dishes desperately for my last dying breath,” I responded with a grin, making Willow snicker. “Let's go, I need to distract myself,” I mumbled as I held my hand to her and added, “Thank you for everything. You're a great friend like Rita.” “Of course, but why didn't you bring back the Alpha house food containers?” Rolling my eyes, I told her what Stella had said and done, causing her to shake her head. We headed downstairs, and Willow asked me what I was going to do. “Die, what else can I do? I can't run away, not with this damn brand on my wrist,” I huffed. “Ma
Lyric Adams pov As I hurried to my shared bedroom, I rubbed my arms to stop the strange sensation that Camden's presence caused me. It was an unusual tingle that coursed down my limbs and was rather unnerving. A knock at my door sounded soon after my arrival, and when I opened it, I suspected it to be the Alpha, but it was Victor. “Is it true?” He questioned curiously, and I asked him, “Is what true?” “That you're pregnant,” he muttered, and I shrugged. “Willow was going to ask you to get me a test from the infirmary,” I explained as I watched him rubbing his eyes. “The Alpha overheard her asking another guard and believes that either I or another guard or pack member has impregnated you and is hellbent on discovering who,” he stated in exasperation. “He's PISSED that some other man has soiled HIS property” he added with a groan. Looking up at the ceiling, I shook my head. “That's rich coming from someone who dips his dick in any hole he happens across, “ I growl
