Rune's POV.It's been days after Xavier's ordeal and It has been a horrible couple of days.I had to hide.Nowhere was safer for me than the Darkmoon manor and that was where I settled. In Lyra's room.โIt's safe now, Rune,โThat was our safe word, funny but it is what it is. I had to keep my shit together and move on to reality. If I was not vindicated soon enough, I'd be kicked out or even worse.I hate to imagine that.I let go of my cloaking spell and met Lyra who had her bacon turned to me and her face towards the door.I panicked at first but she turned and hugged me.โThis will be okay, you'll be fine, we'll figure a way around this,โ she reassured. I was going to cry, at that moment I was grateful for Lyra in my life.I held on to her tightly and muttered a โthank you,โWe remained like that for a few seconds before I broke off the hug. I was teary and it took all I had not to cry.โHere, let's get on with this,โ she said as she stretched out her hand towards me.There was a

Rune's povโNot the answer to my question,โ he barked. Another day, another migraine.How could I have thought this plan would go without a hitch? I had two options on how to handle this situation. I either resort to magic, though I don't know how fatal it might be given my current state of mind or I follow him calmly till I get out of this entanglement.The light died again by another inch.If I keep up like this, the trail might get cold.โHoney,โ I spoke, โI have places to be, move please.โโAnd what is this?โ He asked as he bent towards the thread of light lying on the floor.I feared he might contaminate the spell and I didn't have enough time or ingredients to make another.โYou don't want to do that,โ I warned.He froze as he threw his gaze on my face.โRemember Wolfsbane? This would be far more lethal,โ I chuckled. I reasoned that he had no idea of my trial tonight, hence he would have commented on it.โAs for your questions, I have been around, neither here nor there, and f

Rune's POV โWhat happened to your husband?โ I asked. She stood and stared at me that I feared that I had opened an old wound.โWhere are my manners,would you like some tea?โ She asked, rising up to set a kettle on the stove.โY-yes please,โ I stuttered. Her unusual change in mood made me uncomfortable and I did not want to resort to defense.โYou know I was a very beautiful young lady one time. Then I got proposed and married to by the love of my life, Octavia. We remained that way, in love and having only each other until we had a child. He named her Lyra,a very beautiful name from a graceful young woman,โ she said as she turned to drop two tea bags into the kettle.โwhat happened?โ I asked.โShe happened,โ she responded darkly. โHe was my husband, he was not supposed to be shared,โ she continued. โEven with your own daughter?โ I asked with my voice almost a whisper. โEven with his own daughter,โ she said with a force that made me flinch.The whistling sound coming from the ket

Lyra's POV.โRelax!, it is an initiation ceremony, not a wedding ceremony,โ I scoffed. Laila was all over the place, she was more excited than I was. โBut it kinda feels like a wedding ceremony,โ she said, causing me to roll my eyes. โThat's what you are going with?โ I asked, amused at her defense.โBut I have to say, you did a good job,โ I added. Laila was good at playing dress up and she did not come to play when she said she was going to transform me.โTake one look at this mirror and burn the image in your head. The next thing you might see therein might be forever in your head,โ she whispered. โWhat magic are you going to perform then?โ I asked.โHmmm, nice choice of appearances. Would go well with your hair styled in loose flowing waves,โ she said as she scratched her hair. โGo girl,โ I hailed. That got into her head as she continued.โI have this thing,โ she said, rushing to a cabinet, and pulling out a crystal headpiece.โIt's a lunar crown,โ she explained.โNo, really,

Lyra's POVโLyraโฆโ โI have an initiation ceremony to prepare for, my alpha would not like to be kept waiting,โ I said and walked out of the room, leaving him behind. Just then, Rune came to my mind. I hoped he had figured something out already, the blood moon was rising.โThere you are,โ Laila said with her hands on her waist. She was pissed whenever she was in that stance and I needed no fortune teller to know why.โSorry, I ran into Xavier,โโHmm.โ was all that escaped her closed lips.โYou know, you both are just perfect for each otherโ she continued. โExcuse me,โ I said as I turned my head to look at her.โUh, don't ruin this for me,โ she said. I had forgotten she was working on finishing touches on my hair.โI got itโ she exclaimed, excitement burning in her eyes.I rolled my eyes, โGot what now?โ I thought.โA puzzle, it's just like a puzzle, you're that missing piece,โ she said, her eyes glowing.โRubbish!โ I mumbled.In response, she pulled on my hair and ear at the same

Lucas POV.Everything was going according to plan.โTurns out he wasn't useless after all,โ I smiled to myself. The idea placed before me was a wonderful one. Rune was a pain and things would not go as planned with him around.I had to figure out what to do and what better way was there aside from killing two birds with one stone.โฆโHe was a regular customer here,โ the bartender said.โHe and his right-hand man always,โ he added. โIs that all?โ I said pushing a wad closer to him across the table.โNothing else comes to mind when you see this ?โ I asked again, tapping on the picture of Xavier that was lying on the table.โI don't know. I know something definitely, but I just need something to jog my aging memory,โ he said, staring at my wrist.I didn't need a fortune teller to know what he needed. My wristwatch was, expensive and I could see his reflection on the watch staring at it like a rabid dog when it saw a bone.โFool,โ I thought, โthis would be his undoingโ I took off my wa

Lucas POVNikolai remained silent.โSo what are you going to do?โ Lyra's mother asked.Taking him back with us would cause suspicions and I wasn't ready to risk it.โYou have been very kind,โ Nikolai said, pulling her to the side.That was my cue.Grabbing a lock of his hair with one hand and cutting with a pocket knife, I pocketed it quickly.โBut let him remain here till we are ready, we can't take him back with us,โ Nikolai added. โYes, family rules,โ I chipped in, a funny line and an even funnier lie.She looked up to us funny, but for some reason, she had to go along with it. Probably because she had to go with whatever we gave her, what else was she going to do with a dead werewolf in her closet?โVery well then,โ she said.I walked to the sitting room and signaled my men out of the house.โThank you,โ I said, turning to her.****Everything was going according to plan.

Lucas POVFor some reason I wanted him.โI really need to get a hold of myself,โ I thought to myself. โYou're too close,โ I said, clearing my throat.โWasn't that part of my oath to you?โ He said haughtily.โOh fuck it,โ I said grabbing his head and pressing my lips against his.He responded positively. As we both held onto each other with our lips locked.โI kissed a boy and I liked it,โ was my heartbeat song.In a flurry of emotions, I opened my eyes whilst still in a kiss. My eyes locked onto Nikolai's, as he opened his eyes almost at the same time as I did, his gaze burning with desire. He smiled, โyou've got action,โ โLook,โ I said, โthat was not supposed to happen, I am sincerely sorry,โHe smiled and held my gaze, that did something to me that I could not explain.โLook away,โ was my next line of thought. For some reason, the rug was way more interesting to spend time looking at. The air was electric with tension as the silence between us grew.โLucas,โ he finally spoke up

Lyra's POVThe ground rumbled for a few seconds and opened wide, taking a large part of the rogues inside it. I saw Nikolai's corpse falling in too, but there was nothing that I could do.โWhere is he?โ I asked without wasting any more time.I turned back and ran, leading Rune to where Xavier lay.The remaining rogues who were there still ran after us, but they were the least of my problems.I just wanted Xavier alive and well.We got to where he was. โRune? Is that you?โ Xavier asked.โOf course, it is me,โ Rune called out to him, while his grimoire flew closely.โLyra, there is a spell here, but the ingredients and the time for this spell are impossible to get and prepare.โโWell, not for me, but given the time and the availability of these materials, I am sorry; there is nothing that we can do!โ he said to me.โDo something!โThe rogues had already caught up to us and were coming closer and closer.โHold!โ Rune said to me.โThat should be able to hold them.โ A protective form of li

Lyra's POVโYou bastard," I said, slapping him across the face. โYou did this. This is all your fault. After all that I have done for you, this is how you decide to pay me back?โโBy betraying me? I should take your life right here and now, and there would be nothing that would happen.โโDo that, please,โ he said, bleeding seriously from his shoulder; he was not healing.โThe poison has got to you badly, has it not?โ I asked him, and he shook his head.I thought he had healed from the poison Lucas injected him with, but I was wrong.That bastard strikes and wins again, with Nikolai.โAkira asked me to protect youโฆโI saw the shock in his eyes. โAnd that, I swear, I am going to do!โHe was teary; his eyes were saddled with regrets. I could see that he was willing to turn back the hands of time just to correct the mistakes he had made before.โThat is too late. There is nothing that you can do now. I am still holding on to tell you some things.โโEven if you figure something out, that w

Lyra's POVThere was something uncomfortable on my face. I was too weak to open my eyes, and for some reason, I felt oddly comfortable where I lay. I didnโt want to move a muscle, but the crawling sensation grew worse, becoming unbearable.I tried to brush whatever it was away with my hands, but it was no use. I had to open my eyes. My heart leapt when they finally came into contact with the green leaves hanging and swinging freely above me.The tingling sensation I felt was from a spider trying to weave a web on my face. I remembered why I was here.I could hear thunder and sizzling sounds nearby, and I knew something was happening. Random screams and shouts echoed around me. I realized people were getting hit, and the moment I thought of who might be on the receiving end, I summoned every last bit of strength I had to stand and fight.As I made my way through the bushes, I began to wonder who was fighting. โNikolai?โ I thought in disbelief. There was no way he could have done this.

Xavier's POVโHow?โ he said, laughing. โI do my study. Not everyone has to tell you everything,โ he added with a smirk.โItโs not every day you see a three-tailed wolf laying around at her initiation ceremony.โPity filled me as I recalled all the times I should have been there for her. But it was too late to turn back now. If I had one wish, it would be to go back and support her then.โOf course, I knew what that meant,โ he said, taking a step forward. โI and Lyra have history.โโRemember that one time you subjected me to the human realm, forcing me to live amongst them for over a century? Yes, that one time. I obeyed, and it turned out not to be as bad as I expected.โโIt was wonderful. She was one of the reasonsโI loved her dearly.โโShe didnโt give me a chance anyway, and my punishment was nearing its completion. I was going to make my move until you cut me off.โโI mean, you brought her back to meโฆโHe must have seen the confusion in my eyes. โOhโฆ I understand how confusing that

Xavier's POVI had heard enough from Rune. I could have found ways to shut him up if this were not true and if he had not just been to hell and back. His explanations gave logical reasons for everything I experienced the very first day I came in contact with Lyra. It could also explain why Ozed was skeptical about me touching her that night and why I felt attracted to her.But there was a catch: if all that Rune had said were true, I was yet to see her as my mate. She was still with her exes, as far as I knew, and I did not want to ruin whatever we had going on between us. I trusted Rune, but this was a significant risk to take. But first, I needed to get to Lyra.He was still speaking when I felt something strange. Whatever it was, I could feel it, and it felt familiar. I needed to get to her.I impulsively entered the bushy road without consulting Rune. This was one of those times I fully trusted my instincts and whatever I felt.โYou feel that too?โ I asked.He responded in the a

Rune's POVI had been through hell and back, and today felt like the worst of it. I was certain this was the least that could happen to me.I opened my eyes to see Xavier looming over me, his face a mix of concern and confusion. He was calling my name repeatedly, but I was just as lost as I had been moments ago. Where was I? What was happening?As my surroundings came into focus, I realized I was in Kayla's room. I struggled to piece together how I got there, my mind still foggy. Xavier's urgent voice was a constant in my ears, shaking me as if he could rattle the answers out of me.โRune,โ he called again, and I felt a surge of irritation. The pounding in my head was growing unbearable. Just as I was about to respond, an unexpected sneeze overtook me. It felt like a reset buttonโmy heart kicked back to life, and memories flooded my mind.โI remember trying to...โ I began, but the thoughts were jumbled, causing a splitting headache. I could barely differentiate between past and presen

Xavier's POVThane quickly noticed my sour mood. โDo not mind meโฆโ I began, but the sounds returned, and this time I was sure something else was in the room with us. I turned to check on Rune and saw he was still asleep. I followed the movement behind the headrest. It was fastโdefinitely not a rat; they wouldnโt survive long in this meticulously clean manor.The sound moved to the closet. I opened the door and found itโRune's grimoire. โYou sneaky tome!โ I chuckled, mentally exhausted. I fell back onto the bed, trying to catch my breath.โWaitโฆโ A bright idea struck me. We didnโt actually need Lyra; I just needed the grimoire.โYour master is sick and not himself,โ I told it. The book pulsed with a glow, responding, but I couldnโt understand its message.โYeah, yeah,โ I muttered, still unsure how to communicate. The one who could explain everything was unconscious, and I couldnโt risk waking him without facing repercussions.The grimoire pulsed again. I tore open the bag containin

Xavier's POVI needed to handle this matter wisely. Something was going on, and I had to get to the bottom of it. Rune had become audacious. I knew he was bold, but today felt different. He was embittered, fueled by every negative energy I could think of. This wasnโt the Rune who stood for the right things.I had no one to blame but myself. I left him to whatever had changed him. โLyra was right,โ I sighed. I needed to know what was wrong with Rune and, most importantly, if the one I held in my hands was truly him. This was a serious debate in my mind. Certain signs made me believe this was Rune, while others made me doubt. He had knowledge no one else could have about me. He was my right-hand man for a reason, privy to my deepest fears. He was a magic user, and the spells he cast were ones I had seen him use before. But the fact that he couldnโt heal as quickly as usual threw me off. He was a wolf, after all.โWhy do I even bother?โ I groaned. โJust donโt let him die. Whoever he

Nikolai's POVโYou had better start talking!โ Lyra said as she opened the door to her closet.It was a close call.She had been a good host to me all this while.Either she knew what she was up against and didnโt care, or she was just foolish to help me. Whatever the case, I was grateful.Luca came inside and saw me.I pleaded with him to spare my life. โWhat the hell do you want from me? Iโm done with this,โ I said.โIโm tired of your control and reign of terror. Have you done enough by taking my sister too?โโJust leave me alone. You have a lot of people under you, yet you cling to me like a plague.โHe chuckled. โAnd there he goes, the little pup has begun to grow teeth and thinks itโs okay to nip at the elder wolf! The audacity,โ he said, walking closer to the window.โYou know Lyra is a lovely wolf,โ he said. I knew he was watching her from the window. My heart skipped a beat.โDo what you want with me, but leave Lyra out of this.โโReally?โ He laughed. โYou think this is about
