Chapter Twenty-Eight.

Lyra

I was still shaking long after the window closed behind him. Never in my life had anyone made me feel this good or this careless.

No one had ever touched me until tears of pure pleasure spilled down my face. I lay reeling on the bed, unable to get up because my legs felt completely numb.

All the banging on the door had become a distant blur of sounds that no longer made sense. The only things that remained clear were the memory of my mate’s hands, the hard length he

I think she will change her mind and ask for his help to protect her. I wish she would have asked already. She may know he is an alpha but he is her mate and has shown he cares, unlike her family who are evil, manipulative and self serving. In my opinion being disowned is probably better.

  • The Rejected Prisoner Who Became the Alpha King's Mate    Chapter 122

    Lyra's POVThe first thing I heard that morning was the sound of someone opening my bedroom door.I hadn't slept properly. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Zaren standing in front of me, remembering the way he had looked when I told him I wanted nothing more to do with him. Then I would remember his lies, the way he had allowed me to believe he was an ordinary hunter while hiding the fact that he was the most powerful Alpha in the kingdom.I turned toward the wall and pulled the blanket over my shoulder.Whoever had entered could leave. I wasn't interested in another argument, another lecture, or another person telling me what I was supposed to do with my life.Unfortunately, the person who entered had no intention of leaving."Still sleeping?" Selene's voice carried a mocking sweetness. "I suppose being protected by the Alpha King has made you comfortable.

    Zaren's Pov The drive back to Silver Crest was quiet.I expected to find the mansion quiet.It was already late, and I had intended to speak with my father the following morning at his residence. I wanted to confront him privately before Ezra could twist the situation any further.But as soon as the vehicle stopped in front of the main entrance, I noticed several unfamiliar cars parked along the driveway.My father's royal crest was displayed on the doors.I frowned.Cade looked through the windshield. "It appears your father has already arrived."I stepped out before the driver could open my door.The mansion was brightly lit, but the atmosphere inside was anything but welcoming. Two royal guards stood near the entrance, their ceremonial armor polished and their hands resting on their weapons. They bowed when they saw me, then exchanged a brief glance as I walked past.I recognized the voices coming from the main sitting room.My father.Ezra…and my other brothers.So much for a pri

    Zaren's POVThe glass shattered against the fireplace.I barely noticed.Whiskey dripped down my fingers, but I kept staring at the empty bottle on the table, wondering how something that had started with a simple desire to protect my mate had turned into a disaster I could no longer control.Lyra was back at Ashbourne.With Kael.With the parents who had allowed her to rot in Ironmoor while their precious daughter enjoyed the life that should have belonged to her.I dragged a hand over my face and paced across the living room. My wolf was restless, moving beneath my skin, its claws scraping against the inside of my mind. The mate bond had become an uncomfortable ache, stretching between us with every passing minute she remained away from me.She was angry. Hurt. And she believed I had deceived her.I couldn't even blame her.I had hidden my identity because I wanted to know what it felt like to be loved without the weight of my title. I wanted her to see Zaren, not the Alpha King, th

    Lyra's POVKael took a step toward me, but Cade immediately moved into his path, placing himself between us.My brother stopped, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the Beta. For a moment, neither of them spoke. The tension between them was thick enough to make the wolves seated around the dining table shift uneasily in their chairs.Kael finally scoffed, adjusting the cuffs of his shirt as though Cade were nothing more than an irritating servant who had forgotten his place."I think your welcome is over," he said coldly. "You can get the fuck out of my house and let me take care of my sister."Cade didn't move. His shoulders remained squared, and his attention stayed on Kael rather than the people watching us from the table.I caught his arm before the situation could get worse."Cade, please step aside."

    Lyra's Pov"Lyra, you can't be serious. You left that place because they treated you terribly. Kael threatened you, your family refused to defend you, and your mother—""Don't talk about my family.""Then don't ask me to take you back there."I swallowed, fighting the tears gathering in my eyes."They may hate me, but at least I know what to expect from them. I don't have to wonder whether someone is lying to my face or hiding an entire identity from me.""You're hurt, and you're speaking out of anger.""Yes, I'm hurt!" I cried. "I'm hurt because I trusted you. I'm angry because I thought I had finally found someone who wouldn't make me feel like I was begging to be accepted."Zaren dragged a hand over his face and turned away, pacing several steps before coming back.&nb

    Lyra's Pov I didn't know where I was going.All I knew was that I couldn't stay in that cabin another second. My feet dragged against the wooden floor as I made my way down the corridor, one hand gripping the wall for support. Every movement pulled at the wounds on my back, but I barely paid attention to the pain. My tears blurred the hallway, and I had to stop twice to wipe my face before I could see where I was going.How could he do this to me?Zaren.The man I had trusted with the parts of myself I had spent years hiding from everyone else. The man who had held me when I couldn't sleep, kissed me when I was afraid, and made me believe that perhaps I had finally found someone who wouldn't make me feel like an unwanted burden.He was the Alpha King.Not an ordinary hunter. Not some warrior who preferred staying away from the politics of the packs. He was the man whose name commanded respect across the kingdom, the same man I had wanted to meet because I thought he could help me un
