Lyra's POV

I stirred, my body still heavy with sleep. The room was quiet, dimly lit by the soft glow of the afternoon sun filtering through the curtains.

Then I saw Keto.

Sitting by my bedside, knees bent, elbows resting on them, looking at me as though he'd been there for some time.

I opened and shut my eyes, and then sat up from my reclining position. "Keto?"

He looked at me, a small smile on the edge of his mouth. "How are you feeling?"

My voice was labored. "I'm okay. Why're you here?"

He raised an eyebrow, not surprised but in that gentle, impenetrable way he used to do. "Do I need to seek your permission to watch out for you now?"

I shook my head from side to side. "That is not what I am saying. I was saying. why did you not go to the funeral?"

He looked away for a moment, and then back at me. "Kira explained to me that you must rest. That you would have a driver take you when you awoke."

"And?"

He drew a deep breath. "Given all that has transpired, the kidnapping, t

    Kate's POVI was almost amused by some of the snoring soldiers. I was half-willing to take my phone out to snap a few pictures, but Kira's voice pulled me from that thought."Let's go back to the tent; we have to eat. I don't think we have eaten since we embarked on this journey," she said, looking at me."Yes, you are correct," I agreed with what she had said.I trailed her to one of the tents, and both of us sat on temporary chairs she had taken out.She unpacked the food she had prepared. I wished I could help, but could not, so I merely commented on how good it smelled. I was glad for the food after we had gon

    Lyra's POVI reached up with trembling fingers and wiped it away, but more followed, thick and slow.My chest constricted. Panic surged like a tidal wave. No. Not now. Not here.The curse. It had to be the curse.I held onto the sink, struggling to remain upright. My face was ashen. Not the tough Ravenna everyone had witnessed."Ravenna?" I heard Orion's voice from the bed.I chopped my nose quickly with the back of my hand and switched on the faucet, letting water splash loudly into the sink."Yea?" I yelled out, trying to put calm into my voice."You all right?" he inquired."Sure," I said to him, trying to sound as normal as possible. "Just waiting for a minute. Hot water's taking forever.""Okay," he replied, not entirely trusting me but courteous.I settled in closer toward the mirror and studied my own eyes. The whites of my eyes had a very slight bloodshot appearance.There was a calming throb behind my temples now, the beat of a warning drum.Whatever spell that witch laid upo

    Lyra's POVHe rose just enough to unbuckle his belt, shedding the last barrier between us. I followed suit, shedding the remainder of what I wore until there was nothing between us but skin.The moment our bodies made contact, heat exploded between us.He kissed me down to my navel, opening my legs with a worshipful hand. I gasped sharply as his mouth followed the lines his hands had inscribed.All the world dropped away, all but his tongue. My fists gripped the sheets, then tangled in his hair.I cried out in the open as the first wave broke over me, I breathed a whispered name. "Orion."He stood up again, kissing me fiercely once more, savoring my screams as I pulsed against him.Then he came into me, slowly, filling me inch by inch until he was deep inside me. I encircled his waist with my legs, pulling him deeper.He pushed gently at first, each movement sending shivers up my back. Then harder, his control falling apart as I screamed, arching beneath him.We strained against one

    Lyra's POV"We're gonna find a way out of it if things go red," he finally said."Why don't you use that phone she gave you to call Keto or anyone for backup?""She's smart, the phone can only receive calls, it can't make calls."I breathed out a sigh to release the anger rising within me. I sat up, feeling a soreness in my back."Are you all right?" Orion's voice was gruff but troubled.I paused, then released the truth. "My back aches."He was quiet for a moment. I didn't turn to look, but I could feel t

    Lyra's POV“I thought you said a young woman cannot handle the spell,” I said, folding my arms and nodding toward the door.“She’s not going to handle it,” Orion replied calmly. “She’s another intermediary.”I frowned. That didn’t make me feel any better. “I don’t trust her.”"I don't either," Orion admitted. "But we have no choice."Before I'd even had a chance to react, the door again creaked open and the young woman stepped out again.Her eyes glinted with a look that was almost exciting. "We're in luck," she said, stepping forward. "I just spoke with one of the elders. She'll assist us, but there are two conditions.""What conditions?" Orion asked bluntly."First," she said, her voice growing sinister, "both of you must stand before the coven and plead for the murdered witch."I knew the rolling in my stomach. I did not even require her to say the name of the witch. I already knew what she was talking about."Then if the coven forgives you," the girl went on, "the elder may help t

    Lyra's POVSlowly, I gave in, the heat of his body offering a strange safety, though my thoughts were drifting back to that man, whatever he might have been.Orion began nudging the plate of food toward me. "Eat before it gets cold."I picked up my fork and ate very slowly. Somehow, my appetite was gone now. But he was right. We had to build up strength. I needed to think straight.He watched me silently for a while, then grabbed his own plate and began eating again."We'll leave in an hour or so," he said between bites. “We’ll blend into the community until I can figure out who to talk to.”I paused mid-chew. “What if they recognize us?”“They won’t,” he said calmly. “We’ve masked our scents. As long as we don’t do anything stupid, we’ll be fine.”I set my fork down. “You make it sound so easy.”Orion glanced at me, his eyes steady. “It’s not. But panicking will only make it worse.”I sighed and nodded. “Got it.”After we ate, he stood and began putting the dishes back into the bag.
