LYRICHe must sense my fear because he smirked. "Calm down, will you? I just want to talk."He leaned against the wall, crossing his arms like this was a normal conversation."Remember those times you were upset that I hadn't taken you to bed?"I gulped hard at his question. Why was he bringing it up?Instead of letting him rule the conversation with my fear, I forced myself to play strong."Yeah. You mean all those times you'd bring different women home and make me listen to their moans? Sure, I remember."He chuckled. Like this was funny to him?!"I just wanted to say I'm sorry, Lyric."I scoffed. "Sorry for what? For not wanting to have sex with me because I was too ugly to be looked at?""Well, you can't blame me, can you? Your face was nothing

LYRICI wished this guy didn't have this effect on me. Why do I seem to lose my composure when he was near me? I'd feel hot and cold all of a sudden and start imagining him in my dreams.It was a sad way to live, truly. Especially when I knew he could never be mine."Hi," I lowered my eyes to the floor, my hand holding the door open.Well, staring at Jaris in the eyes was an extreme sport."You're back."I simply nodded. It wasn't even a question."I hope your room was the exact way you left it?" He sounded so calm, so different from the arrogant Jaris I experience most of the time. He reminded me of the Jaris I'd experienced in the vacation home."Y—Yeah. Thanks."There was a short silence. "What do you say about having dinner with me tomorrow?"My eyes widened like saucers as I dragged them up to meet his.Wait, what?!My lips parted in shock, my tongue unable to form any words. Was Jaris Dreadmoor asking me to dinner? That was impossible."What do you say, Lyric?" I didn't mi

LYRIC Dinner was beyond fine with Jaris. It wasn't the first time a guy had asked me to dinner, but it was the first time I was ever having dinner with someone. Well, other than Jace.Jaris and I discussed light topics while we ate. I was surprised he actually knew how to hold a conversation......... JARIS"Tell me more about yourself, Lyric," I suddenly said as I used my knife and fork on my steak. "Like, what were you doing before you returned to Nyxvale?"If someone had told me months ago that Lyric and I would be having dinner in a fancy restaurant someday, I never would've believed it.But here I was, hopelessly enjoying her laughter and every single thing she said.I didn't even know what I was thinking when I asked her to this dinner last night. But well here we were. And if I had to, I wouldn't mind asking her all over again.I guess I had Nerion to thank for this. All I had to do to get her home was swallow my pride and apologize. It wasn't so difficult. "Uh..."

LYRICMy hands were shaking as I ran into TCH.If Jaris wasn't with me and I had to be the one to drive here, there was no doubt I'd have gotten into an accident somehow.I was so damn nervous, Guinevere's words tormenting me.'They're dead! All the patients are dead.'What did she mean by that?While I was all shaky and panicking, Jaris was the opposite. He remained calm and collected, clearly trying to tell me to do the same. But I could see the concern in his face. He was worried for me.As we waited in the elevator, he took my hand, squeezing it tight."It's going to be fine. Calm down." His voice was honeyed.Goodness, I had no idea how badly I needed to hear those words until now. But was that even true?The elevator doors opened and we rushed out to the floor where Guinevere and a team of other doctors stood. There were nurses and a lot of people everywhere, most of them crying. And to my horror, two covered bodies were being rolled out of a ward.My heart sank into the

LYRICI didn't stop running until I was outside by the parking lot. I was about running to my car when I remembered I'd arranged for someone to drive it home since I thought I'd be going home with Jaris from our dinner.I had to go to the road, then. I could board a cab or something.I was a crying mess. Even my vision was blurred with tears. I hoped I wouldn't bump into someone.Just as I turned around, I did bump into someone."Lyric." Jaris held me.Everything came on me at once. Shame. Guilt. He must think I was incompetent. Even if he'd been supportive of me in there, a part of him must be angry at me. A part of him must doubt me at least."Let me go," I whimpered, struggling against his hold. I didn't want to be with anyone right now.His grip on me was relentless. "Hey, calm down.""Please. Please." I kept crying.I'd never felt so broken in my life. People were dead, and everyone thought I was responsible."I didn't do it," I finally stopped struggling and just whimpered

LYRICRealization dawned on me at once. My jaw dropped open.Oh! Now it made sense. She was Jaris' sister! The mad one! Or the one that used to be mad. Or maybe she still was. I didn't even know.It was easy getting to hear about her from the twins' nannies. They all had a lot to say as apparently, they'd been around when she went crazy and killed four people five years ago."HI, Maddy." I tried to wear a smile."I didn't ask you to play nice." She rolled her eyes like this was some game she was tired of playing. Hell, I was in one of my worst moods and didn't even want to talk to anyone."Why are you with my brother? That was what I asked."Okay. So, she was really serious about this?II took a deep breath, pushing some strands of hair behind my ear."As much as I'd love to have a conversation with you—" Lies.

LYRIC "You used me!" I sobbed, crying to my mate who just rejected me. "Mating with me was your ladder to power, Roderick! Your Pack climbed the ranks because of me! Now that you've achieved your ambition, you don't need the ugly girl anymore, is that it? But you were willing to mate with me a year ago!""Oh, spare me!" Roderick rolled his eyes. "Don't act like you didn't know I'd have left you at some point. Hold on, did you really think I'd have made you the Luna of my Pack? I can barely stand the sight of you, Lyric. How do you expect me to take you to Alpha meetings and present you to others? You are disgusting!""But I did not give this scar to myself!" I cried bitterly. "And you promised you'd take me to the best doctors. You didn't do any of that, Roderick! It'd have helped!""What? Even your own family doesn't care enough to take you to doctors, and you think I would? Quit, dreaming, Lyric and get out of my Pack!"Tears blurred my vision. It wasn't the firs

LYRICYeah. And that 'disvirginer ' was you, Mr. Arrogant. I wish I could tell him. I rolled my eyes instead.His eyes seemed to dance with delight now, like he was having fun or something."You haven't told me if my apology has been accepted or not."I bit my bottom lip as I dragged my gaze to the floor. Geez! So much for trying to be tough, Lyric."Do you need some privacy to keep chewing those lips?"My gaze snapped up to meet his, and a red hue crept up my cheeks in an instant.What was wrong with me?"I—" I cleared my throat. "I'm only going to accept your apology on one condition."His smile was gone in an instant. Ooh. Jaris Dreadmoor clearly didn't like conditions.But he didn't try to stop me anyway. So, I went on. "I need you to promise me that you'll never call me a slut again, because I am not one."He chuckled.My heart stopped beating for a second.I couldn't help how cute he was each time he did that."In my defense, I never called you a slut," he said.Oh, serio

I sighed as I stepped away from him to get an ointment. "I didn't take your calls because I didn't want to talk to you."It was a good thing I wasn't looking at his face when I said that. I didn't want to see his reaction.I got what I wanted and returned to him. I was almost done. Just a few more applications...The door opened and Evans strolled in, holding an extra saline in one hand and a clipboard in the other. His ever-present grin was plastered across his face."Greetings, Alpha Jaris," he said with a slight bow, then turned to me. "How's it going? I was told you might need this." He showed the saline he'd come in with."Actually, no. I'm almost done." I returned my gaze to Jaris' chest."I can see. Doctor Lyric working her magis as usual."I laughed. "Evans, it's just standard procedure. No magic involved."Evans was one of the nice ones. Over the month, you could say we've become friends."By the way, when you're done here, could you check on Mrs. Lockwood for me? She's convi

LYRICAlpha Jaris.My chest constricted when I heard the name.I didn't exactly know what to feel. But I knew I was damn worried about the fact that he was here."What happened to him?" I asked the doctor as we hurried toward the elevator."He was stabbed. With a poisoned blade."I furrowed my brows. Who on earth stabbed him?We got into the elevator and waited for it to take us up."W—Wasn't there a doctor around to treat him?" I wasn't asking because I didn't particularly want to be with him. I just thought there were plenty of doctors around that could've attended to him instead of waiting for me. He was likely in pain."We tried to," Evans shrugged. "He insisted on having you there."My heart raced in surprise. What the hell?I looked at the doctor but didn't even know what to say to him. He wasn't the one I should be staring at like that. It was Jaris. Why would he specifically ask for me?All heads turned to me the moment I opened the door. The doctor wasn't lying. There
