25- ROYALS CANNOT BE SHOWN MERCY

last update Last Updated: 2025-05-08 11:42:18
LYRA'S POV

I am surprised Zade is not shouting or banging at the door like a madman. His silence only makes my heart race. I look around at the bathroom, which is the size of my room back at home.

I don't know if Zade lied to me about the capacity of his gifts or if they can simply do more, like create a mirage that allows him to walk through things.

Stop overthinking, Lyra.

I run my palms through my hair and sigh.

Luckily, there is a nightgown here that doesn't look overly expensive and wouldn't cause me discomfort. The workers even had the bathroom decorated in red, rosy designs.

I look at the counter—there are numerous cosmetics I have only been privileged to see on posters. I have trained myself not to envy things I know I would never be lucky to have.

The silver mirror in front of me seems to have been forgotten by the workers. For some weird reason, it reminds me of who I am, and I know well enough that no royal title, no gift, can change the unfortunate person that I am.

    KYMON'S POV"Brother," Zade calls from behind as I step into the archery field. I twist my neck to see him walking towards me, his face twisted into a fading scowl.My eyes drop to his arm. There seems to be something beneath the cloth covering it. I look back at his face—his twitching lips, his eyes flashing with too many emotions, like he is struggling to look fine. He is.Someone must have ruined his mood.I look back ahead and frown.Very possible, Lyra. It must be her. That's her biggest trait."Hm?" I hum, mounting myself in front of eleven frail, lean, sixteen-year-old commoners.The sight of each one of them tells me they must be suffering from malnutrition or some sort of flesh-eating disease. I remember too quickly Lyra's protest at the cliff, and I clench my fist.At first, I thought she was just trying to throw my name into the dust, but her determination, the look in her eyes, and the anger radiating from her made me realize she must be telling the truth.

  • My Ex's Brother: Forbidden desires    PROLOGUE

    Adena's POV Sweat, blood, and pain. I can feel every inch of it pour down on me from my head to my feet. I don't understand why I am still alive. I thought I would have died the very minute they sent six hot rods across my spine and I saw black. I open my eyes. At least I think I do. I can see a bit of the world outside me. To think I was standing at that very spot with Luna Freya as we worried over the rogue's attack — A kick in my spine and my teeth are scraping the soil. " Are you suddenly handicapped?! Move!" A guard is shouting. I force myself from the ground and crouch as I continue walking forward while a chain is tied around my waist preventing me from running away. It's not like I have anywhere to run to. Even if I can take out everyone here, I can't take out Kymon. I raise my head up, ignoring the excruciating pain that streams through me afterward, just to look at Kymon as he stands by the guillotine, his hand holding a sword firmly. Within a minute, I am kneeling

    LYRA'S POVI crane my neck upwards, trying to locate my name on the dashboard amongst the group of people in front of it.And there I see it. Lyra Reyes on the top list. 4.3 CGPA in Medicine.A low chuckle escapes my lip as I pull back and head towards the entrance door of the building stopping myself from tap dancing.Dad was right after all. The years I have been with Zade, I have had terrible grades and it was only by the grace of the moon goddess that I got admitted as a medical student. It was a lot worse after our breakup. I lost 30 pounds which meant I was probably like a Popsicle then. I cried every day, and it always got a lot worse when everyone kept blaming me for cheating on him.Of course, everyone would believe what he'd say, he's Alpha Kymon's brother." Lee!" Bryn calls out, sticking her head out of her shining Pontiac GTO with her sunglasses on and her smile on check. " We are going to the club tonight and I'm not taking no for an answer."" Why would she say no? It

  • My Ex's Brother: Forbidden desires    2- RUNNING INTO THE DEVIL

    LYRA'S POV I nearly tumble over the stairs as I try to climb them. I grip my aching head and groan. " Oh Bree, I'm going to murder you for making me drink so much." I finally reach the top of the stairs, and the whole hallway blasting with sensual music seems like a maze to me because I have no freaking idea where Bryn fled off to. All I can remember is that a guy with too many tattoos for his own good whispered something into her ear and the next minute, she was gone. Those tattoos did look familiar. Like the tribal tattoo, every male Omega has, but there was something about his. That crown in the middle. " What the fuck!" A male and two naked females rip apart from each other the moment I push open a door. Oh, okay, wrong room, but I didn't need to see that, especially when he still has a condom on. " I'm sorry," I chuckle nervously as I back away, and to my horror, I don't understand why I am staring at his p*nis. " For the record, this. Threesome— is logically unhealthy.

    KYMON'S POV I crush the cigar into the ashtray, till I can't feel myself holding anything. I lift my gaze from the ashtray to the six-foot-three portrait standing before me. Lifting my claw to the painting, I trace it against the outline of her perfect jaw, to every part of her face. " Tell me how to get over you, please." I rest my head against the portrait and exhale. It gets hard every moment. Ruling this goddamn pack. Attending to everyone's problems. Dealing with these hypocrites. I need you, Freya. I have needed you every second since I couldn't save you. Maybe if I had paid more attention to loving you, you wouldn't have been killed. It's been four years and I still can't help but feel like it's my fault. My gaze flicks to the half burnt portrait of Adena lying broken on the floor. Anger ignites my soul staring at her. I should have given her a far worse death. I should have let her beg me to spare her life as I watch as she agonizes with every blood in her body sippi

    KYMON'S POV I watch as Lyriq takes her away. She is unconscious, so it makes things easier for the both of us; if not, I'd have to kill her, which I know is impossible. There's just something about her that terrifies me. Something that awakens the past, I've been trying to get rid of. I want to kill her; I want to end this fear, but I can't. That song. My legs are suddenly too weak for me to stand and I lean against a tree. How the hell does she know that song? I have sung it to two people in my life, Freya and Adena. Two women I have loved and one woefully regretted loving. They are both gone so how does Lyra know that song? I only shared it with Adena and Freya because I trusted them with everything in me. It was the last thing I heard mom say before she died. Before she was killed by him— " Kymon," Lyriq is standing before me, scowling at every cell in my face. " You aren't going to explain that shit that just happened?" I run a hand through my hair and exhale. " You don'

    LYRA'S POVKymon is driving the van through the bushes and Lyriq is sitting next to me, holding a gun to my abdomen with his face twisted into a scowl as he stares outside the window.The most I know about Lyriq is that he speaks to no one but Kymon. I have heard the way he murders wolves, innocent and guilty. I don't know who's scarier, him or Kymon.He has a sleeve of tattoos running up to his neck. The crown tattoo in the middle of the tribal one signifies he's the head of all Omegas.He is grinding his teeth, clenching and unclenching his fists. Then his gaze snaps to Kymon." Taking her back isn't a good idea. It's obvious she has a pretty big mouth, only death can shut her up."Kymon says nothing. He rests his elbow against the door and bites on a finger. Lyriq releases a frustrated breath and continues staring out the window. I try not to move, knowing he's probably waiting for an opportunity to pull the trigger.I don't move till the van is parked exactly where it was when I

It was hard getting any sleep because whenever I looked over at Bryn's bed and remembered she used to sleep there, I would start crying again.It's been three days now, and I still can't get over it.I don't know what Alpha Kymon is up to. He instructed the college to be shut down till Bryn's murderer is found.Everyone is living in fear and panic because of him. I move through the mist till I can see Cas, standing by the lake, upper body naked with seven males that look his age. An eagle tattoo is sprawled across every one of their back.He's talking to the males. One of them notices me and smirks before saying something that makes Cas turn abruptly to me.His eyes widen, and he's now walking towards me quickly. He grabs my hands and pulls me away from the sight of the males." What are you doing here Lee?" He asks, his voice very low." Teach me how to fight. I want to learn how to defend myself."

    KYMON'S POV"Alpha Kymon, may I have a word?" Lyriq says as I get to my feet, ready to excuse myself from the dining hall.I study the muscle bulging on his jaw and his tense posture. It's either he's still apprehensive about Lyra's presence or there's bad news.I nod and walk out of the dining hall, with him following by my side. Workers scramble around, carrying different types of gifts and making preparations for my brother's wedding night.I do not know if they have been intimate before, but the royal law takes intimacy seriously, especially because it will lead to the birth of a royal.I clench my jaw and look away from the commotion as a bad memory flashes into my subconsciousness. All the females in my family decorated the room and gave Freya their blessings on the first day we got married.Father, Zade, and the rest of the males sat me down, voices heavy with expectation, instructing me on the art of ensuring she bore a male heir as if she were nothing more than a vessel, a du

  • My Ex's Brother: Forbidden desires    22- GIFTED TO BE PREGNANT

    LYRA'S POVKymon is sitting by the left-hand side of Lila while Zade is sitting by her right.The dining table must be at least ten feet long, with twelve chairs on each side and two at the back and front. All the chairs are filled with familiar faces, some unfamiliar—except for the chair next to Zade.Zade has introduced me to most of his kind before. I never looked forward to knowing them because I wasn't sure they'd be excited to meet me, considering I am a commoner like most people in this Pack. But Zade made sure I met every one of his closest kin, and a part of me was happy—so sure he was doing it because he wanted to make me his Luna."Take your seat, Lyra," Lila says, staring up at me with a wince as I look at the empty chair, lost in my thoughts.I fidget as I snap out of my thoughts and walk to take my seat. I feel eyes roam over me, I hear whispers, stifled chuckles, and I can see them grimacing even though my gaze is fixed on the empty chair.I slide into the seat and star

    LYRA'S POV"Why am I not surprised?" he sneers, running a hand across his set jaw.I look up at him and flash him a hollow, flat look. "I have always been sure you know me too well." Sarcasm rolls off the tip of my tongue.I don't register the shift of emotions on his face when I turn around and search with my eyes for another door in the room that should lead to the bathroom. But I find nothing—just walls upon walls."Where is the bathroom?" I ask, furrowing my brows and not turning around.I hear the bed thud, the tapping of boots on the cobblestone to and then silence.I turn around, unsure if Zade is still in the room or if he has just chosen to ignore me. It's the latter because he is sitting on the bed, his eyes scanning my body for the umpteenth time. I clench my jaw, swallowing the vile words threatening to escape from my mouth.I want to repeat myself, but then his lazy, dilated eyes meet mine, and he shrugs. "Why do you need to go into a bathroom when you can test the clothe

    KYMON'S POVI stare into the multicolored lights, watching as the hormonal teenagers play in the lake, empty bottles of Goddess knows what scattered at their feet.I don't peel my gaze off them until the motion of my car forces me to.For a while, I've wondered how life would have been without all these responsibilities and attacks. As much as I don't care about the lives those reckless dogs are living, I can't help but think it's better than the one I have.The car stops, and Lyriq steps out. He walks to the trunk, pulls out a dusty green duvet, then approaches a tree and crouches. It's sundown, so I can barely see clearly.I hear something like water flowing as Lyriq lifts Henry's dead body, wrapped in the duvet, which insects have already begun to hover around. The ungodly stench reaches me, making my nose twitch. Lyriq grimaces and looks away.Reaching into my pocket, I take out a cigarette and light it up. These days, it's the only thing that clears my head.The sooner I die, the

    LYRA'S POV"Where is Zade?""He's on his way."I manage to open my eyes slightly and see a female worker leaving the room. My eyelids fall shut again, and I suck in the pain coursing through my body. I force myself to try again, lifting my eyelids with great effort. This time, I see Kymon staring at me with a scowl. He seems to notice that I'm awake but quickly looks away.My body feels like metal—heavy, unmovable. I don't know what he's done to me, but I can't move. It feels like pounds of steel are pressing down on me.A man dressed in a doctor's uniform approaches Kymon. They speak to each other in hushed tones, occasionally glancing in my direction, making my skin crawl.Then, suddenly, everything comes crashing down my spine. Cas. My breath catches, and my eyes widen as I jerk upright in bed, panic seizing my chest.I remember wanting to go to him—to help him—but I couldn't. What if they've finished him off?"So, she isn't paralyzed," Kymon mutters, eyeing me with a slightly rais

    LYRA'S POVI don't break eye contact with him, even though I'm cowering inwardly. I have no idea what he must have done to find evidence that it was Cas who killed Bryn.I had hoped the wolves would stand up to Kymon and put an end to his cruel rule, but no one did. Everyone is silent, and I feel like I've already failed."Why don't you say something, Reyes?" He smirks, and I want to break every one of his teeth. "Yes or no?""I won't let you kill him," I say, my voice trembling with restrained fury. I abruptly turn to the crowd, anger and tears flowing freely. "Why don't you say something? Why are you all staying silent?! Say something, for the Moon Goddess's sake!""Downright pathetic, my dear," Kymon's cynical voice cuts through my chest like a blade as tears rush down my cheeks.I refuse to look at him because I know I won't be able to hold on to my sanity if I do."Maybe I'd be willing to let your lover go." He cranes his neck, studying me with a calculating gaze. "But the questi

    LYRA'S POVThe moment I knock the torch from Kymon's grip, the entire place erupts with frantic murmurs and gasps.His piercing eyes snap to mine—shocked at first, then darkening with fury, laced with something wicked. But I don't care. Right now, there are only two outcomes: either Caspian and I die, or Kymon does.Keeper and an Omega step forward, ready to attack, but Kymon raises a hand, his unreadable gaze never leaving mine. At least now, Cas isn't in his grasp."Leave her," he orders, his voice eerily calm, though the storm beneath it is unmistakable. He drops his arm, tilting his head slightly. "I must admit, I'm surprised you actually kept your word.""You must have been expecting otherwise," I counter, matching his expression.He studies me in silence for five long seconds, then his lips curl into a slow, taunting smirk. "You have no idea, my dear."I grind my teeth. "I am not your dear—""Oh, but you are."He laughs. Actually laughs, as if something about this is amusing. As
