Lyra's POV

I stared at the empty spot where the deer had once been, my heart slowly sinking.

“You’re sure this is where you dropped it?” I asked, scanning the clearing again.

Kate didn’t hesitate. “Yes. Right here. I made a mental note of that tree stump behind it,” she pointed. “I even placed a rock near the leg to keep it from sliding.”

"And you're sure Kira didn't touch it, perhaps kept it from plain sight. Maybe we should wait till she comes back."

Kate nodded her head dismissively, "No, we all left for the river together and It was still here when we were leaving. And Kira didn't come this direction. So it wasn't her."

I crouched, brushing my hand against the soft soil. No blood. No drag marks. No prints. Nothing. Just disturbed leaves that told half a story and left out the most important parts.

Without another word, Kate dropped to one knee, unzipping the side of her bag. Her fingers wrapped around the cool metal of a gun, and she pulled it free like muscle memory.

  • Mated to Three Handsome Nightmares   Chapter 72

    Lyra's POVI plunged deeper, the cold water encasing me like a second skin as I hugged the bedrock of the river to hide from the man. My lungs began to ache, warning me that I couldn't stay hidden forever. More waiting seconds ticked to sustain torture before I was able to wait no more. I decided to swim up for air. And then when I did, I saw his boots. He was still there, closer now."Ravenna," a familiar voice called.My heart jumped. I knew that voice. I relaxed almost immediately, releasing a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding. “Keto,” I said, blinking up at him. “I thought you were someone else.”He stepped forward slightly, arms relaxed at his side, eyes watching me carefully. “You couldn’t pick my scent, could you?”I shook my head, wiping water from my face. “Not at all. How?”“I masked it,” he said, crouching near the riverbank. “It’s part of the assignment Orion sent me on. I can’t talk about it.”I studied him, his face calm, a little unreadable. That was Keto. A

    Lyra's POVMy hands moved on instinct, with my claws coming out of my fingers as it soared through the air, jaws open wide, I met it halfway, and caught it with my both hands clamping around its bloodstained snout.It snarled, twisting midair, but I held firm. My fingers drew themselves up against the edge of its mouth, and with a horrendous roar of effort, I wrenched its jaws open beyond that allowed by nature.An ugly crack bore into the air through the forest.The beast suddenly collapsed; it twitched once and then went still.Blood splattered across my arms and chest. I was standing over it, chest rising and falling, muscles humming in residual adrenaline.Behind me came a choking gasp from Kate.I slowly turned around, wiping my cheek behind the back of my hand.Her eyes were wide. “What the hell did I just witness?”I shrugged. “Guess I was hungry.”She blinked. “You snapped its

    Lyra's POV"Be careful what you wish for,” Kira said. “Learn from Ravenna. She’s in a pit so deep, she’s never getting out.”I didn’t respond. I just turned back to brushing my teeth, pretending her words didn’t rattle something inside me. But they did.After a moment, I turned to Kate and asked, “Do you smoke?”She looked surprised. “I used to. Why?”I nodded slowly and smiled. “You should stop.”Then I winked at her.

  • Mated to Three Handsome Nightmares   Chapter 68

    Lyra's POVKira looked thoughtful for a moment before she said, “This is not good, If she’s truly working for Orion, she’ll probably tell him something, maybe not directly, but just enough to hint that you’re not Ravenna.”I frowned. “You think so?”She nodded. “Witches are very cunny, Ravenna. They don’t always tell the truth, but they don’t lie either. They play in between. They keep things to themselves until it matters, and when the stakes are high, they speak up, just enough to use the truth to their advantage.”I slowly nodded, trying to take that in. “I’m not sure if what you just said is supposed to comfort me or make me panic more.”Kira let out a soft laugh but it didn’t reach her eyes. “All we can hope for now is that she doesn’t show up again.”“Do you think she will?” I asked, my tone edgy.“I don't know, but with Orion, you never know. He’s very discreet. Nobody even knows he has a secret witch working for him.”That part confused me. “Why is it such a big deal? Are witc

    Lyra's POV“What the hell was that?” I asked as I rose from the edge of the river and turned my neck to see what was happening.No one answered. But eyes were already turning toward the trees.The whole pack was on alert until they saw Kate lowering her rifle.She stepped into view, dragging a deer toward the river, rifle slung over her shoulder.Everyone stared at her, like they were wondering if scolding her was the right move.She looked around, frowning.“Did I do something wrong?” she
