Lyra's POV

Nikky was tall, like 7 feet high, taller than most men. She looked more like a man than a woman.

She had the tattoo of a serpent on her neck, and her face looked rough.

The way she walked scared the wits out of me.

Then she paused as soon as she reached where I was.

She fixed her gaze on me. “I’m going to avenge my sister’s death,” she said, “I know you killed her, Raven.”

I couldn’t speak. My throat locked up, and all I could do was stare as she turned and strode onto the field, her braid swinging like a horse's tail.

Killed her sister? The words kept playing in my head.

What kind of life had Ravenna lived? And why was I the one stuck paying for it?

Orion’s voice snapped me from my thoughts as he continued through the speakers.

“And now, I present to you, Princess Ravenna!”

My heart sank. Ravenna. Not Lyra. The name felt like a chain around my neck.

I froze, my feet glued to the tunnel floor.

The crowd started cheering me up, but it died down slowly when they didn't see

  • Mated to Three Handsome Nightmares   Chapter 168

    Kate's POVI didn’t waste time after leaving Ravenna's room. My mind was already made up, and my body was restless. Keto’s door was slightly ajar when I reached it, and I caught him stepping out, dressed casually, his expression tired but still composed."Going out?" I asked, resting easily against the frame.He looked over at me, surprise warring in his eyes. "Not exactly. Just getting wine from the cellar."I raised a brow. "Drunk night, then?"He half-shrugged, his mouth twisting into a crooked grin. "Who knows what tomorrow brings?"For a moment, there was nothing between us. Then, with a slight tilt of my head, I told him, "Take wine for two. I'll be coming back."His brow shot up, a glint in his eye. "Okay," he said slowly, his tone between amusement and curiosity. "You're welcome."I offered him a quick smile and walked away, my pulse racing more than I'd expected. That went more smoothly than I'd expected. Much more quickly.In my room, I shed my clothes, letting them fall wh

    Lyra's POVThen, with a flick of her braid, she was gone, leaving the room strangely quiet.The smile slowly faded from my face as her footsteps retreated down the hall. I leaned back in my chair, staring outside through the window, and her words echoed in my head.I would not like to be alone without a man tonight.Kate needed to fill the void within her with Keto. What about me then?Not after the whirlwind of emotions with Keto, Kevin, and all that Orion had seen in my eyes prior to that.My gaze drifted to the door. My heart began to pound faster.I knew where I was headed.More slowly, I stood and crossed to my closet. My fingers hesitated for a second before pulling out a piece of lingerie, red silk as rich as the room's curtains.I pressed it against myself, my breathing uneven, before dressing.Over it, I drew on a plain nightgown, something respectable enough to cover what lay beneath.I saw myself in the mirror, the high points of my cheeks warm with red. Fear and desire war

    Lyra's POVKate gave me a dry look. “That depends on what you think you’re right about.”I grinned faintly. “That you and Zack weren’t just colleagues. That there was something more between you. Something you’re both pretending doesn’t exist anymore.”Kate did not respond right away. She filled a glass of water instead, drinking it slowly as if she needed to gather her thoughts. I waited for her, patient but impatient. Kate was not the type of woman who easily opened up. For her to even consider this kind of conversation meant something.And then she placed the cup down on the table and sighed. "There was once." she began, her voice softer now, free of its usual harshness. "But it was complicated. Always was, and always will be."I edged a little closer, my heart beating a little faster. "Complicated how?"She shot me a sly look. "Let's just say Zack and I don't exactly see eye to eye on what loyalty means." She shook her head, "They don't."Her words hung in the air, heavy with mean

    Lyra's POVKira exhaled heavily, her lips pressing into a thin line. Kate shook her head, her voice softening. “I feel sorry for him.”The chest pain grew stronger. I hugged my arms around myself. "I wish things were different," I breathed. "I wish I were with Keto, instead. He doesn't deserve this." Kate's face grew gentle, compassion shining from her eyes. She gave my hand a little squeeze.But Kira leaned forward, her voice steady, focused. "Listen to me. Don't let guilt overwhelm you. Keto is strong. He'll get past this, even if it hurts now. But you, you need to keep your head straight."I shut my eyes, felt her words deep within me. My chest tightened. "I just don't want to lose anyone," I whispered.Kira smiled faintly, sadly. "Sometimes loss is inevitable. But don't kill yourself trying to avoid it. You'll be fine."Her words hurt me, but there was comfort in them as well.Kate stood, leaning over slightly as if trying to shake the weight out of the air. "Currently, Ravenna,

    Lyra's POVThe weight of his stare was unbearable. I dropped my eyes to the floor, my voice trembling. “Yes. You do.”For a long time, he didn’t answer. The sound of the clock ticking on his wall was the only thing that filled the silence.I sensed his eyes on me, burning and heavy, as if he was peeling away every layer of defenses layer by layer.Finally, he spoke, the tone low and commanding. "Then say it. Don't beat about the bush. Don't make me pry it out of you. Say it."My breath snagged. My throat tightened, but I forced the words through it. "That Orion proclaimed me as his Luna."There it was. The truth. Out loud.Keto's expression didn't alter, but his jaw snapped shut with a reflexive sound.He leaned back in his chair, folding his arms over his chest. "And what do you think I'm going to do with that?"I blinked at him, surprised by his question. "What do you mean?"He raised an eyebrow. "You came all the way out here, into my bedroom, to tell me something I already knew. W

  • Mated to Three Handsome Nightmares   Chapter 163

    Lyra's POVI choked down a swallow, my throat parched. "I'll speak to him," I said at last, attempting to sound positive. "Today."Kate raised an eyebrow, unmoved. "That's what you always say."She strode to the door and flung it open, giving me icy eyes over her shoulder. "Words are cheap, Ravenna."And she was gone, the door closing softly behind her.The silence that she left in the room remained. I sat on the chair beside the window, my hands resting on my knees.Kira gazed at me and then started talking. "I'd like to give you some advice," she whispered, her voice gentler than Kate's, nearly guardian-like.I watched her warily. "Advice?"She shook her head. "Kevin has made you feel a great deal of evil, first in your last life and now in your current one. You can't let him ruin what you've built here now, not with Orion. Whatever it is that Orion plans to do to Kevin, you have to keep out of it."My heart tightened at the sound of his name. He was a ghost who could not remain sil
