Lyric Adams pov “Let's head out onto the balcony and take out some birds. Direct the energy at your target, and if you're unsure, watch how I do it," Salem suggested. Nodding, I gestured for him to go first, making him chuckle. Watching him clear the sky of the pesky birds, I was impressed, but I could see the darkness on the mountains and frowned. “Daray and his shadow monsters appear to be moving here slowly,” I commented, and Salem hissed as he pointed at a cloaked figure below. “Who is that?” He asked roughly, and I narrowed my eyes at the person. When the stranger glanced up at us, I gasped at the light eyes that shone brightly. A crow fluttered around the person and landed on his lifted forearm. “That's Zeno,” I muttered softly, and my brother eyed me oddly. “You know him?” Shaking my head, I told him that I didn't, but Cesan did, then I watched my mate come rushing out of the house to confront the young man. Not seeing him holding our daughter made me grow concerned
Lyric Adams pov The fear I had experienced during the birth and death of my first pup consumed me, and exhausted beyond belief, I drifted off when my daughter entered the world. I was roused awake sometime later. Feeling fingers running through my temple hair, I opened my eyes slowly and saw Cesan beaming brightly, a wrapped bundle in his bent arm. “Meet our beautiful daughter, Erissa, sweetheart,” he said softly. My eyes widened when he pulled away the blanket. “Black hair?” I questioned him, concerned that she was still Camden's. Cesan chuckled as he lifted her and said, “My mother has jet black hair, so it's in my DNA. She's undoubtedly my child.” He then turned Erissa to face me, and I smiled at the small white spot hidden in her black fuzzy hair, the slightly pointed ears, and then her huge, inquisitive green eyes that matched her daddy's. “Wow, she's perfect,” I mumbled as I reached out to hold her. “Unfortunately she is growing quickly. I can only assume it's
Lyric Adams pov Sleeping soundly, I was startled awake at the bedroom door exploding into shreds of splintered wood. I sat up and saw my father. “CESAN! YOU BASTARD!” Sin roared as electrical sparks began to whip around him. Just as he was about to unleash them on Cesan, I jumped over to block my mate and felt the bolts hit my back, then hissed between my clenched teeth. Cesan's eyes were wild as he stared worriedly at me, but instead of reassuring him, I turned my head and growled at my dad. “What the fuck, Dad?!” Sin's arms fell to his side as he cursed. “What have you done, Cesan?” He groveled, causing me to furrow my brow. I noticed that my Crescent Moon mark was illuminated and thought it was cool. “You mean this?” I asked as I lifted my moon mark toward him. “He means that you absorbed his bolt and should be dead, “ Cesan explained. I gasped as I clutched the covers to my bare chest. Flipping around to face my dad I asserted, “You were going to Kill My MATE! You ass
Lyric Adams pov The office evaporated from my sight, and my bedroom appeared. I was suddenly frightened and in disbelief at how we arrived. “How, how…did you do that?” I stammered as Cesan strode purposefully before me with a grin on his face. Seeing the terrified look in my eyes, he cupped my face in both of his palms as he gazed lovingly at me. “My sweet Lyric, I love you far too much to put a Daray target on your back,” he asserted kindly, causing my brow to crease. “So you didn't bring me here to fuck me?” I blurted and he hissed. “I would make love to you, not fuck. Fucking is an act void of deep emotions and done for simple pleasure only,” he growled as if deeply insulted. I lowered my eyes from his intense ones, but he tilted my chin up and pressed his lips possessively against my own, causing my eyes to widen. Kissing him back, I was lost in the feelings it was causing as a fire ignited deeply within my soul. Reaching up, my fingers touched his silky hair, and a moan r
Lyric Adams pov Lying back down, I reached for the pillow Cesan had used and pulled it to my nose. Sniffing it, I closed my eyes, recalling his words when I had smelled it before near him. “Why would he deny his own scent?” “Especially one so unique and intriguing,” Ojani sighed, causing me to snicker. “Perhaps it's fermented due to his age,” I chimed, making her snort her chuckle. Waiting impatiently for Cesan to return, I scooted out of bed and then scurried into the ensuite to take care of my personal business. Seeing the black robe still hanging on the hook, I grabbed it and put it on. My dress, which I had taken off earlier, was nowhere to be found, meaning Holly must have come into the room and gotten it during the night. “I wonder if she saw Cesan in bed with me,” I murmured softly as I sat on the edge of the mattress. “If so, she will inform your father, and he will have words with you and Cesan,” my wolf warned, causing me to furrow my brow and frown. “It was inno
Lyric Adams pov I shifted in front of Frost and, taking the dress from his hand, slipped on over my nudity before walking into our home. It was dark, so I had to use my wolf eyes to see my way. Waiting for Cesan at the first step of the stairs, I giggled at seeing him walking inside with only his loincloth covering him. “Are you starting a new fashion trend?” I snorted, and he rolled his bright green eyes at me. “Sure, why not? It's easier to shift when you're practically naked,” he quipped as he headed toward me. “We need to discuss the parentage of your pup, Lyric. Since Camden is its father, he will have rights,” he asserted in all seriousness, causing the humor to fall from my face. “But he chose Jasmine and should lose his rights,” I stressed. Giving me a sympathetic nod, Cesan sighed and said, “We can deal with it when and if he follows through with trying to take it. Right now, Daray is a greater concern than Camden. After his words, he stepped past me and continued u
