LYRA'S POV

My feet fail me, and I nearly tumble backward, but I grab onto the couch, stopping myself from falling.

I wrap my palm over my mouth and scream into it while shaking my head vigorously. No, no, no.

"Cas," I let go of my mouth and scream his name, forcing my feet to back away from the sight before me.

I look at the clawed couch, foam spilling out of the holes. She must have been struggling to get away from whoever wanted to murder her. No wonder this place is a mess. She must have fought hard to survive, but they didn't give up. They didn't spare her. The wounds are fresh, and her blood hasn't dried up yet. There is a split in her throat, bruises on her hand as if she had been held by a rope.

Who could have done such a thing—

I barely have time to complete my thought when a light flashes through my eyes from something behind her. My breath is the only sound I can hear as I take hesitant steps forward, forcing myself to stop crying.

The more I look at her, the more the tears

  • My Ex's Brother: Forbidden desires    27- THROWN OUT OF HER OWN HOME

    LYRA'S POV"Why bother opening a shop when there's going to be no profit?" one of the guards accompanying me says with a disgusting chuckle, and the two other guards laugh humorously while Keeper huffs and rolls his eyes like he's the least excited to be accompanying me to my parents' place.My eyes trail to the fox tail drawn in the center of the guard's sleeve of tattoos. I look at the other guards, and they seem to have the same fox tail tattoo—which Keeper doesn't.They aren't from this pack.I look away when one of them, with a purple goatee and too many eyebrows for his own good, looks at me.I raise my brow and stare at my moving feet. Kymon, Zade, and many other Workers or Royals have tattoos I've seen before, but theirs are different from these guards'."Such a big mouth for a small body," one of them mutters, and I know he's referring to me.I clench my fists, and my eyes snap up to meet the back of his miserably shaved head. From the corner of my eye, I catch something that

  • My Ex's Brother: Forbidden desires    26- DIRTY BLONDE HAIRED BOY LOOKS FAMILIAR

    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. But not the comp

  • My Ex's Brother: Forbidden desires    25- ROYALS CANNOT BE SHOWN MERCY

    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.

  • My Ex's Brother: Forbidden desires    23- KYMON ZEPHYR, YOU'LL BE DESTROYED BY YOUR CRUELTY!

    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

  • My Ex's Brother: Forbidden desires    21- THREE SILVER COINS AND A LETTER TO CAS

    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

  • My Ex's Brother: Forbidden desires    20- LYRIQ IS IN LOVE WITH LYRA!

    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

  • My Ex's Brother: Forbidden desires    19- ADENA AND FREYA WERE UNFORTUNATE TO LOVE YOU!

    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
