MasukCHAPTER 47LYRAThis shouldn't even be. I shouldn't be feeling like this. I had tried to reprimand myself, but nothing was working and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't deny the fact that there were still feelings left for Lucian and the only reason I felt that way was because of my wolf.It had refused to forget Lucian, even after all these while. The mate bond between us only got stronger with the distance not being an issue anymore. But I knew how unfair this was to Kael. He's been with me every step of the way, even when I was cast aside and left to die, he was the only one who stood by me. There was no way I'd be choosing Lucian over me. No matter what my wolf wanted.I staggered through the halls, trying to get a glimpse of Kael. He'd been avoiding me all day ever since I had revealed the brewing tension I felt. I never wanted to make him feel like an option because he wasn't.I exhaled softly, making my way through the narrow halls in hopes of finding him soon. Whispers e
CHAPTER 46LUCIANI smashed a vase seated on my desk out of anger. Rage filled me and I burned with fury. Everything on my desk came crashing down and the sound of it alerted my beta who happened to be passing by.He noticed my stuff on the ground, a conflicted expression on his face. “Why are you dismantling Everything, Alpha?” He stepped forward. “Does it have to do with Ly–”"Don't say her name,” I cut in sharply.He noticed the rage on my face and kept quiet, not daring to say any word that would ignite the fire waiting to be lit inside of me. He got down and started picking up the mess I had made, more to my displeasure.“Just get a fucking maid to do it,” I hissed.He dropped the broken vase and nodded gently. "Of course, Alpha.”He exited my quarter after that. I stood there, still burning with rage. Everything didn't make sense. I tried to make through with everything that had occurred so far, but I just couldn't. It felt like it was something out of a fictional world.I never
LYRAI refused to allow Marrek to continue spouting off as if my people were objects he could trample on with no repercussions.“My pack is not made up of rogues " I declared, moving closer so he had to meet my gaze instead of glancing past me as if I were invisible. My voice remained firm even though my hands trembled slightly at my sides due to the stares and the flood of past memories rising within me. "They are my clan. My family. Bound to my name. My pack.. As their leader I will not permit you to insult them. Not a single word. Never.”Marrek’s face flushed red and blotchy his mouth opening and closing as if struggling to find the insult to hurl back at me. The other elders fidgeted uneasily, their eyes flickering between me and Kael as though anticipating who would lose their temper first or if a fight was about to erupt in the chamber.Kael moved up directly next, to me his body was tight as if loaded with energy about to explode, his voice deep and threatening like the rumbl
LYRAMy body reacted to him in ways I had almost forgotten. A familiar feeling swept through me and I cursed the fact that my stomach twirled at his sight. I tried to remind myself how it was wrong. He's done nothing but treated me ill in the past. I knew I shouldn't feel that way about it. It was wrong. Abominable.The shock in his eyes was hard to miss. He stared at me like he had just seen a ghost, and couldn't move for the first few seconds. His lips parted slowly to speak, but no words came out of it.He took a deep breath, as if he was regaining all his lost strength. “H–How's this possible?” He closed his eyes. “You’re supposed to be dead. How is it possible that you're standing before me again?”His statement brought back the anger I had almost forgotten, reminded of all the terrible things he did to me in the past. He didn't even think I would make it alive. I expected me to be dead, my body decomposed.Whatever feeling that had me quivering before died—I killed it. I marched
LYRAI still found it hard to comprehend that it's been three days since the entire incident happened, and I found myself reminiscing back on the thoughts more than I wanted to.Kael was having a discussion with some of the pack members and his beta—Lucian. We were to leave for the black fangs pack as soon as possible, and just the thought of it made my stomach tightened.Strong, firm hands wrapped tightly around my waist making me key out a gasp. Kael chuckled, clearly fascinated by my reaction.He put his face in the crook of my neck, causing me to feel thrills down my spine. My legs suddenly felt wobbly and my breath caught. My busy reacted to him in a way I couldn't believe. My reaction didn't go unnoticed by him. He placed a soft kiss on my neck, trying to get another reaction from me. He was doing this on purpose. He enjoyed making me squirm.“Kael,” I moaned softly.He chuckled again, his breath vibrating against my skin. I instinctively clenched my thighs together, crimson co
LYRAAfter they locked Ryker up, Kael basically glued himself to me. I couldn’t pee without him standing outside the door like a guard dog. I’d walk to the kitchen for water and there he was, two steps behind, eyes scanning every corner like someone might jump out with another sword. At first I thought it was sweet. Then it got annoying. Then I realized he was actually scared. Big bad Alpha Kael was terrified I’d get hurt again.The pack went crazy over what I did. Word spread like someone poured oil on fire. Suddenly every wolf in Iron Claw knew the rogue girl took a blade for their Alpha. Old ladies were crying in the market calling me “Luna” already. Kids followed me around asking if I was really gonna marry Kael. Warriors bowed lower than they ever bowed to him. Someone even left flowers outside my door every morning. It was insane.I should’ve been on top of the world. I had a home. I had people who wanted me. I had Kael looking at me like I was the only thing keeping him bre
