Lyra's POV

My hands went sticky from the meat, but I hardly noticed. My head was spinning because of her name; he just dropped like it was nothing.

“Why is she coming?” I asked, trying to sound casual, indifferent even, but I heard the sharpness in my own voice.

He leaned in a little more, elbows resting on his knees. "News of the fight spread faster than I thought. Word is, the Omega who led the charge is now an Alpha overnight." He smiled weakly, as if it was something to boast about. "Ruth may wish to visit her stepdaughter. Maybe even offer condolences to Orion for Ben."

My stomach churned. Stepdaughter. The word was bitter on my lips.

Kira leaned back in her seat, stroking the back of her hand over her mouth. "I don't know her, but I know everything about her. She's mean. Brutal. There's a rumor she killed Ravenna's father."

My blood ran cold. I didn't shift my face, didn't blink, but I felt something within me shatter.

Kate was laughing, brushing at a dust that wasn't there on

  • Mated to Three Handsome Nightmares   Chapter 87

    Ruth's POVThey’ve all left the meeting. The room went quiet. Just how I like it.The meeting was a necessity, but it wasn't my main point of target. And as soon as it was over, my mind went scheming to the original reason I had come in the first place.I watched Orion from behind, tall, proud, stubborn. He didn’t even turn to acknowledge me. That’s fine. Men like him only listen when they think they’re in control.“Orion,” I said softly, like a mother trying to console her angry child. “I only need a moment of your time.”He still didn’t turn. But I could tell he was listening. They always do, in the end.“You’ve been through so much,” I continued, slowly making my way toward him. “You’ve carried this pack, buried your own brother, and yet here you are. Standing. Thinking. Always thinking.”I could tell he was tense.“Strength like yours isn’t common, Orion," I continued, "It’s not something everyone understands. Especially not children.”That word, children, I let it linger. He does

    Lyra's POVShe didn’t say a word. But her eyes followed every step I took.Kira cleared her throat. “Pack healer. Alpha Ravenna,” she said to the table, her voice even.A few murmurs rippled through the room. Eyes shifted toward me. Some nods. Some stares. Some unreadable expressions.Orion’s gaze met mine. Just for a second.Then he looked back down at the file in front of him.Ruth broke the silence. “Oh. I didn’t know this meeting was open to the newly crowned.”Kira smiled politely. “Health mat

  • Mated to Three Handsome Nightmares   Chapter 85

    Lyra's POV“I had a flash,” I told Kira, my voice shaky. “A piece of Ravenna’s memory. I think I know who killed her mother.”Kira leaned in. “Who?”“It was Ruth,” I whispered. “She killed her. I saw it clearly. Ravenna was just a little girl, hiding in a corner. Watching. She saw everything.”Kira stared at me, wide-eyed. “Are you sure?”I nodded slowly. “But… what I don’t understand is, why didn’t Ravenna do anything about it? She must’ve remembered. There’s no way she could forget something like that.”Kira stood abruptly and began to pace. “You can’t te

    Lyra's POVShe leaned forward and set the glass on her knee. "I mean, not Ruth. Your actual mother."My throat closed up. "I was told she died when I was a baby."Kate nodded slowly, but her gaze never wavered from my own. "That's what you were told. Do you remember anything from being a kid? Anything prior to Ruth?"I opened my mouth, but I couldn't speak.I didn't know. I couldn't know. I was never Ravenna to start with.But I couldn't tell her that."I… don't remember," I said cautiously, hoping that would suffice.Kate leaned forward, intrigued. "You're saying that you don't remember your childhood?"I shook my head, reluctantly.She frowned. "Not even one thing? That's not normal, Ravenna."My heart pounded.She went on, "If I didn't know you, I'd say someone deleted your memories."Something like a knife prodded behind my eyes.A flash.A scream.A mirror.A name I didn't know was yelling in my head.And then it was gone.I wheezed for air.I tried to keep a neutral expression,

    Lyra's POVWe came down from the vehicle and headed straight to the mansion. Keto went in first, and I went in behind him.As soon as I stepped into the living room, the cold air from the Air conditioner hit my face.And then I saw her, Ruth, the woman who I believed had brought misfortunes to Ravenna since she was born, and now I seem to have inherited her troubles.She sat in the living room like she owned the place. Her legs crossed, arms resting neatly on the armrest, a cup of tea balanced in her hand.Her gaze landed on me like a knife.She

  • Mated to Three Handsome Nightmares   Chapter 82

    Lyra's POVKira gave me a pointed look. “He knows. I didn’t tell him, if that’s what you’re thinking. But he’s not stupid. He noticed something was off last night.”My stomach sank.Kate leaned back against the tree, arms crossed. “This is going to get complicated.”“It already is,” I muttered.They both went quiet, giving me space—but I could feel their eyes. Judging? Maybe. Or maybe just concerned.I hated this.The waiting. The silence. The feeling that no matter what I did, someone would get hurt.Before I could say anything else, a familiar engine sound rolled in through the trees.Keto.I stood up slowly, brushing dirt from my pants.Back to reality.Kira leaned closer to me with a small smile. “By the way… I was joking earlier.”I blinked at her. “What?”She shrugged. “Keto didn’t see anything last night. He was on watch the entire time. If he had noticed Orion sneaking into your tent, trust me, you’d know by now.”Kate raised an eyebrow. “Then maybe he suspected something. May
