LYRA'S POV

Dear Gods!

I instinctively tried to pull my leg back because the position was too humiliating, but his grip was strong. Impossibly strong, and the moment I tugged even a little.

His hand tightened, not roughly, not in a way that hurt, but with just enough pressure to lock me in place.

His eyes lifted briefly to mine and I went still, my hands trembling as they hovered uncertainty over my lap.

I felt my face burning and I hated that he could affect me like this, that a single glance could silence me when I was supposed to be stronger than this, supposed to have a spine.

But then his gaze dropped again, and I realized—he wasn’t doing this to humiliate me or punish me or anything like that, he was checking my ankle.

My freaking ankle.

I’d forgotten, somehow, that there was a wound there, that I’d been poisoned, that I’d nearly died, and I blinked down in shock as he tilted my leg slightly, adjusting the angle to get a better look.

The pain was gone.

I glanced down and saw t

  • Second Chance with the Alpha King   Chapter 32: The Truth

    Lyra’s POVBut just then, the doors opened and the aura that swept into the room was enough to quieten down my anger. Turning to the entrance, Valrik entered into the chambers flanked by two guards with swords. “There will be no such thing as an execution.” His declaration was hard as stone, and as he paused at the centre of the room, his gaze momentarily met with mine. I felt a small smile creep up on my lips. “But, your majesty…” Elder Soren walked up to him, “She…” he pointed at me, “broke the law. She's no longer a virgin and she must face the punishment of lying to the Royal family.” “And I said you will do no such thing!” Valrik snapped and his words bounced against the walls of the room in a thunderous echo. Goosebumps crawled up my skin. Valrik was…defending me? What made him believe me over his own council? Once again, his gaze met mine and I swear, his eyes softened a bit. If my heart sing, it would probably belt a chorus right at that moment upon seeing the look in h

  • Second Chance with the Alpha King   Chapter 31: Accusation

    Lyra’s POVThe guards that came along with the elders escorted me to the council chamber. I was surprised, wondering what the urgent summon was all about but when I stepped into the chamber and saw Brenna and Callia already seated, I knew exactly what I was there for. Callia and Brenna’s eyes narrowed at me as I walked in. I tried to ignore their disdainful look, but it was hard not to feel uneasy as it accompanied every step I took my seat. Only then did they look away, snorting and huffing respectively. I sucked in a huge breath. Elder Soren mounted the podium in front of us and looked between the three of us before his gaze ultimately settled on me—and hardened. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, my brows fusing together as I wondered why everyone was being especially hostile. “Lyra, it has come to our notice that your innocence as a woman has become…compromised.” He cleared his throat, “That goes against our code of conduct as the rules state that each candidate must be and r

  • Second Chance with the Alpha King   Chapter 30: The Weight of Eyes

    LYRA'S POVValrik tore his gaze away from me and looked down at my injuries one last time and his brows furrowed a bit. “It has started to scab.” He confirmed. I nodded, that was a good thing. However, before I could say anything else he reached forward and scooped me into his arms so suddenly that I let out a yelp. “W-what are you doing?” My face had immediately flushed red and I felt tingles going up my spine. I was already mortified from everything that had already happened, like it didn't help matters that I had kissed him or cried in front of him or come this close to dying in his arms.I didn’t want him to carry me. Goddess help me, I didn’t want him to carry me.I didn’t want to feel his arms around me again, didn’t want to be pressed against his chest with his heartbeat pounding steady beneath my cheek, didn’t want to smell the cool sharpness of the spring water still clinging to his skin, didn’t want to feel how careful he was being with me.“I'm fine you know…I can walk,

  • Second Chance with the Alpha King   Chapter 28: The Aftermath

    LYRA’S POV“I saw Joaz before I blacked out—I think I saw him, or maybe I thought I did, because everything was spinning, and it was dark, and my head was pounding so hard that I couldn’t be sure, but I really thought—”“Don’t say his name again.”His words were quiet but felt like a slap. The way he said it wasn’t loud, but it was dangerous, and I had never heard him sound like that before. So, I snapped my mouth shut.I didn’t understand why he was so angry, not really, not until it hit me. My hands reached for my lips. They were wet, swollen. My eyes widened immediately and I took a staggering step back. Back in the spring, I had said things, horribly embarrassing things, and worse—worse than that—oh goddess, I had kissed him.“Oh gods,” I breathed. “I kissed you.”His silence confirmed it.“I kissed you,” I said again, lower this time, because saying it once hadn’t made it feel any less real, and maybe if I said it quieter, it wouldn’t sound so reckless or shameful.“Yes,” he sa

  • Second Chance with the Alpha King   Chapter 27: The Rift

    VALRIK'S POVHer voice was in my head.Not her voice exactly—her wolf’s. It was soft yet, wild and utterly certain.“Mate.” She said again, louder. My own wolf stirred instantly, letting out a triumphant howl in the back of my mind. Of course Igor liked that, it was all he wanted anyways. To finally give in to the desires. “Thank you…Alpha King…for saving us.” Her wolf said. “The poison is clearing now, she should be waking up soon.” She added. But even as my wolf exulted to that, my heart twisted in guilt.I saved her, yes. Rushed to a dangerous place just to make sure I did not lose her. Something I was unable to do for Sybil…despite how much I wanted to. But that wasn't even the worst thing…I had kissed her. Gods, I kissed her. Not gently. Not like a man trying to save a life. Like a male starving for something he thought he’d buried long ago.And it hadn’t just been her lips. It was the feel of her body pressed against mine. The taste of her breath. The sound she made when
