Chapter Eleven

Lyra’s POV

That question just hung there. You actually care about her, don’t you?

He didn’t answer. He didn’t need to. You could see it all on his face, plain as day. This weird, tangled-up look. It made me want to scream. Right there in the hallway. All my time, all my work, everything I’d built—it was coming apart because of some guy who heals fast and can’t make up his mind.

“What is going on here?”

Nyx’s voice. It sliced down the hall, cold and sharp. It wasn’t a question you

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    I'm here for you

    Kayden's POVThe ride back to the fortress was silent.Nyx sat in the back of the jeep, staring out the window. Her face was blank. No anger. No sadness. Just… nothing.I wanted to reach for her. Touch her. Say something that would make it better. But I didn't know what.Silas got away. In all the chaos of Lyra running, he'd slipped into the dark like the snake he was. By the time we thought to look for him, he was gone.And Lyra was gone too. Running through the woods, probably heading straight back to him.We'd lost them both.I looked at Nyx through the rearview mirror. Her eyes were fixed on the dark trees passing by. Through the bond, I felt it. A heavy, crushing weight in her chest. Pain. Deep and old and fresh all at once.Not just from tonight. From everything. Her family. Her uncle. The woman she'd trusted turning out to be a snake. The stone in her heart.It was all sitting on her, pressing down.I wanted to help. I didn't know how.---We got back. The guards opened the gat

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    It was a set up

    Lyra's POVI watched him from the shadows.Kayden slipped out of the fortress like a thief. Dark clothes. Quiet steps. Looking around like he was scared of being seen.My heart raced with excitement.This was it. The moment I'd been waiting for. He was going to meet someone. Betray her. And I was going to catch him in the act.I waited until he was far enough ahead, then I followed. Silent. Careful. The woods were dark, but my eyes were good. I could see him up ahead, moving toward the old mill.Perfect.I pulled out my phone. Sent a quick message.Come to the old mill. Quick. He's meeting someone.I put the phone away and smiled. Nyx would come. She'd see him with her own eyes. Talking to Silas's people. Plotting against her.She'd kill him herself. Right there. And I'd watch.I crept closer, staying behind trees. The mill came into view. Old and broken. Kayden stood outside, waiting.Then I saw movement. A figure stepping out of the dark.Silas.My heart jumped. My father was here.

    Chapter Forty-TwoKayden's POVThe first time the phone buzzed, I was in the training room with the guards.I looked at the screen. Blocked number. My stomach dropped.I knew who it was.I stepped outside, pressed the phone to my ear. Didn't speak."Hello, nephew." Silas's voice. Smooth as poison. "Miss me?""What do you want?""Just checking in. Seeing how my favorite investment is doing." He laughed. Soft. Ugly. "Enjoying your new life? Playing house with the queen?""I'm busy." I started to hang up."Your mother says hello."My hand froze. The phone shook against my ear."What?""Such a sweet woman. Strong. Reminds me of you, actually. She's been asking about you. Wants to know if her boy is okay." He paused. "I told her you're doing great. Living large. Forgetting all about her.""You're lying.""Am I? You want to risk that? Hang up and find out?"I couldn't breathe. "Let me talk to her.""Not yet. Soon. If you behave."The line went dead.I stood there, staring at the phone. My h

    Lyra's POVI slammed the door so hard the walls shook.My room. My cage. The place they put me to "rest." I hated it. I hated her. I hated him most of all.Kayden. That smug, turned-wolf bastard. He thought he'd won. Pinning me to the floor like I was nothing. Talking to me like I was a child.I wanted to break something. I grabbed a vase from the table and hurled it at the wall. It shattered. Pretty pieces everywhere. Good.I paced. Back and forth. Back and forth. My mind was a storm.I needed to fix this. Not with a knife. That didn't work. Not with my hands. He was stronger now. No. I needed to be smart. I needed to make her doubt him. Make the doubt grow inside her like a seed until it choked out everything else.She had to start questioning him on her own. Without me saying a word. If I pushed too hard, she'd see it. She was already suspicious of me. I had to be careful. Quiet. Clever.I stopped pacing. An idea formed.Rumors. Little whispers. Things that made people look at him

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    He's feeding you lies

    Kayden's POVThe guards stood in front of me. Twenty of them. Big guys, scarred, mean-looking. Wolves who'd been fighting since they could walk. They stared at me like I was a bug they wanted to squash.I should have cared about that. I didn't.My mind was somewhere else. With her. Nyx. I could feel her through this new thing inside my chest. Like a second heartbeat. She was in her study, reading reports. Bored. A little hungry. I could feel all of it.Was this what having a mate meant? Feeling someone else's feelings like they were your own? It was incredible. It was also the most distracting thing in the world."Boss?" One of the guards was talking to me. "You gonna tell us what to do or just stand there?"I blinked. "What?""I asked what drill you want us to run."Right. Work. Focus. "Sparring. Find a partner. Two minutes each round. Go."They paired up. The sound of fists hitting flesh filled the air. I walked through them, watching, correcting. But my brain wasn't there.She's hu

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    Hes planning a coup

    Nyx's POVFor one second, I let the mask slip.The look on his face. The guards frozen like statues. The silence so thick you could chew it.I couldn't hold it.A laugh burst out of me. Not a giggle. A full, loud laugh that came from my belly and echoed off the training ground walls.The guards blinked. Their jaws dropped. They looked at each other like the sky had just turned green.I laughed harder. I doubled over, one hand on my knee, the other pointing at Kayden's terrified face. "Your face!" I wheezed. "You should see your face!"He stared at me, completely lost. "What?""You thought… you actually thought…" I couldn't finish. The laughter took over again.Slowly, like the sun coming out, the tension in the room melted. One guard snorted. Then another. Then they were all laughing. Not at me. With me. Because for the first time in their lives, they'd seen their Alpha Queen crack a joke.Kayden's mouth opened. Closed. Then he grinned. A slow, relieved, wonderful grin. "You're evil."
