Kate's POV
The air outside felt cold as I ran through the trees with incredible speed, I didn't know I had.
But my legs weren't the only ones running, my heart was also running with a mixture of fear and anxiety.
Somehow, the werewolf bite had healed my asthma, and I can feel my lungs strong.
It was twilight already, and according to the folklore I heard about werewolves, but didn't believe it until recently.
Transformation begins at night for a werewolf.
I could feel it under my skin, the heat, the pressure on my bones.
Keto's POVI hadn't seen Ravenna for 3 days, and the only thing on my mind was her beautiful face.Orion had sent me on an errand to the Arctic region to get a polar bear.I had expected him to kill me when he found out about the video, but instead, he asked me to get a polar bear for him.I don't know which one scares me more, the fact that he had seen the video, or the fact that he had chosen to say nothing about it.My walkie-talkie jarred to life, disrupting my thoughts."We've found one, but not very big, about 9 feet tall," one of the bear hunters said."Orion was specific, keep searching, until you find one, don't call," I answered.I honestly don't know what interests Orion in Kate. According to him, he wants a replacement for Nikki.But I don't see any similarities between Kate and Nikki.Kate is calculative, Nikki was impulsive.Nikki hated anything affair, she'd rather hump a woman than let any man touch her, while Kate has that lover girl aura.It's such a pity that I had

Lyra's POVThe sound of the lock made my stomach twist.I had tried running away, but as soon as he turned to face me with his big dick hardening slightly already, I sat back on the bed.The effect he had on me this time around was even worse than that night.I took my sight elsewhere, anywhere but him.I turned my gaze to the window in his room."I don't know what you're trying to do, Orion, but if you won't put on some clothes, you can as well let me out of your room," I said, my tone serious.He pointed
Lyra's POVI decided to check the bathroom, even though I already knew what I would find.Nothing.I was met with the gentle dripping of water from the tap.I turned around, my heart skipping a beat. “Kate?” I called her name when I heard footsteps outside the room in the hallway.I quickly dashed out of the room to the hallway, but I was wrong; it wasn't Kate, it was one of the maids."Did you see Kate, a young woman with blue eyes, in the hallway?" I asked.And she nodded her head dismissively, "No, I haven't."Then I descended through the stairs, hoping to see her somewhere below. Maybe she'd gone to the kitchen to get food, or the parlor, or wandered into one of the guest rooms. But she was not in the living room. I called out again, louder this time.“Kate!”No reply. I turned to one of the maids coming into the living room from outside."Have you seen the girl who came with me?”The maid gave me a blank look and shook her head. “No, miss. I haven’t seen anyone like that. Ar
Lyra's POV"I never had sex with Keto," I said as I put up a defense mechanism, "We were about to, but we stopped."I wasn't lying, I never had sex with Keto, but I might have done that if the camera wasn't there.Kate tilted her head, unimpressed by my defense, "It's still the same thing, Ravenna. You would have done it if you guys didn’t see the camera recording the whole thing."I frowned and folded my hands. Her words stung me like a scorpion, and it wasn't because they were entirely wrong, but because they exposed a truth I hadn’t come to terms with myself."And what about Orion?" she asked, her tone suspicious, as though she wanted to catch me in a lie, "Will you call that 'almost had sex' too?"My heart clenched. The name alone sent a wave of resentment through my body."Orion drugged me," I said in my defense, my tone laced with anger, "And I hate him for that."Kate studied me, her expression was unreadable. "So that means Keto is the one you prefer, I see," she said, "But
Lyra's POVSomething doesn’t sit right with me about Kevin. I can’t explain it, but the way he looked at me… it wasn’t curiosity, It was calculation.I thought I was the one playing him, riding along with his plan, but now it seems to me that I'm the one being played.Perhaps he was playing Ravenna just the same way he had played me when I was in my body.But I can guarantee he will be shocked this time around because I won't let him have his way with anything.And Ruth, why would she care so much about Orion’s death when she was the one who handed me over to him? That woman doesn’t do anything unless it benefits her.I want to know if anything connects them. There must be something. I just can't feel any association. The vial was shoved into my pocket, and I went upstairs. My heartbeat was hitting these incredible beats in my ears. I went into my room, locked the door from behind, and took out the vial again. The liquid glowed faintly in the dim light of the room.I knelt beside
Lyra's POV“I never wanted it,” I said firmly as I turned to address the naughty remark, “It was a terrible mistake.”She didn’t say a word, she just gave me a playful smile.“I’m saying the truth, Kira,” I insisted, “Orion deceived me into doing it, he drugged me, and it affected my senses. There's no way I would do something like that with him if I were in my senses."Kira just blinked her eyes. She didn't say more.“But I know better now,” I added, “it won’t happen again.”A beat passed before she spoke. “If you say so.”Her voice was so calm, so non-judgmental, that it made the shame of what happened rise hotter in my chest.“I’m not lying, Kira.”“I didn’t say you were,” she replied casually, then turned toward the door. “I need to head home, clean up, and grab my med kit. Full moon’s tonight. Kate might need attention.”She got up from her seat, and together we went down the stairs. My thoughts were pretty messed up.The memory of the sex I had with Orion haunted my mind like
Lyra's POV"She's not entirely dead, she's having a cardiac arrest," Kira stated, her tone urgent.We ran towards Kate and found her on the floor, lifeless.Panic took hold of me. If she dies, it'll be my fault."How long do you think she has been out?" I asked as Kira crouched beside Kate.She touched Kate's body, "Not very long," she said, "Her body is still warm."I stood still, unable to move for fear she might not make it."Come here, Ravenna," Kira called, "I need your help."I swallowed and crouched opposite her."Good news is," she started, "Her body didn't reject the werewolf venom.""Bad News is, she has asthma," she stated coolly, "CPR won't work on her.""So what do we do?" I asked, my eyes wet with tears, "She's dying.""Only an Alpha's howl can help," she said, "It would make the venom work faster, and that will heal her asthma."An Alpha's howl? I have never howled before, and I don't even know how it works.Just then, I picked up a powerful scent, Orion's scent.I turn
Lyra's POVI woke up the next day with a slight headache in my head.My body was still weak from the wild sex I had with Orion last night.I turned to face the other side of the bed, when I noticed Kira was still sound asleep beside me.How did I get to my room? I wondered.The basement was the place I was, according to my memory from last night.Just when I was closing my eyes to drift back to slumber, Kira let out a loud yawn.Then she turned to face me."Why do you smell like an alpha?" she asked, her eyes heavy with sleep.I didn't answer.She leaned in, then sniffed in my scent."That's weird," she uttered, "If my eyes were closed, I would have said Orion was the one beside me.”"So what exactly are you saying?" I teased, "Because smelling like an alpha is kinda different from smelling like Orion, so which one is it?"She blinked, "both," she taunted, "You're guilty of both crimes.""I went to the basement to see Orion last night," I explained, "Maybe that's why you think I smell
