I woke up earlier than usual that morning, and the first thing I did was to go look for Jaris.
But his office was locked and he wouldn't open the door to his room when I knocked.
There was no way he'd gone out, right? This was the reason I woke up early so I'd catch him before he went anywhere.
"He's still asleep, ma'am." Someone said behind me when I knocked on his door again.
I turned to find one of the servants smiling at me.
"Oh. How do you know that?" I pulled my robe tighter together.
"I just finished working around here. He hasn't stepped out of his room yet."
Damn it.
I was tempted to wait around, but that would make me look ridiculous.
So, I returned to my room, deciding to come check again in fifteen minutes.

JARISI went numb. Couldn't think straight for a full minute.I didn't even know which was more devastating—the realization that Lyric was never going to rule beside me, or the painful fact that someone like Marta was going to be my wife.It made my head ache."....Alpha Jaris!"I didn't realize they'd been calling me until Luca touched my arm.I took a deep breath, dragging myself back to the present."You don't have to do it if you don't want to," Landon said. "You could just focus on Luna Lyric, but only her kids would be acknowledged. When she has a son, he'll become King after you."If the situation permitted it, I'd have fucking laughed.That was the point; they didn't know nothing. They had no idea that Lyric couldn't even be my wife. We had a stupid contrac

JARISSomething was wrong with me.I might need help for real this time.Because why the hell was I motivated by the face of just one person when I was up there?The task had been extremely difficult. It was enough to make even the strongest Alpha give up. Zarek was quite strong to have held on to the end, like me.People kept praising me for how effortless I made it seem. I didn't show any sign of weakness during my time there. But they didn't know what went on in my head.While I was pulling the heaviest weight I'd ever had to deal with in my life, I was tempted to give up. But a constant face kept playing in my mind.I kept picturing her large green eyes smiling at me, urging me to stay strong. When the weight seemed too much, I imagined how disappointed those very pretty eyes would be.

LYRICThe Chairman went over the rules with the Alphas. Each of them would be taken to separate rooms where they'd be given a heavy task to do in display of their strengths. The trial was to last for seventy minutes. Gasps rippled through the crowd when he mentioned that. Seventy minutes was a whole lot of time.He mentioned that they could give up when they got tired, but they would be the end of the trial for them.Just hearing about it alone was already making me tired. How were they supposed to hold on for that long?I couldn't help being worried for Jaris......The trial began. The four Alphas were led to separate rooms at the same time and we could see it all on camera.My mouth hung open when I saw the task.They stood in the center of the room with their arms spread apart.

MARTAShe was losing her mind.She had spent a long time with her family trying to work up something against Lyric.They'd contemplated killing her but were skeptical as it was risky. If Lyric survived and it's somehow traced to them, they'd be doomed. If they had to kill her, it would need to be done smoothly.She returned home late and was furious when she checked on the kids and got to know from the nanny that they were at Lyric's.She'd lost all sense of reasoning. All she could think about was the fact that Lyric was trying to take her kids from her. It rang in her head that the twins were actually with their biological mother.If she hated Lyric before, she despised her now. If there was a word greater than loathe, she'd use it.She wanted her as far away from her kids as possible. And she was ready

LYRICOkay, what now?I rolled my eyes as I turned around to face her again."The uh...the twins. I'm aware their birthday is coming up this weekend. I've been trying to come up with ideas of things I could gift them. Do you mind helping out?"I arched my brows at her. Seriously? She wanted to get them gifts?......After spending some time with Maddy in the garden, I discovered she could actually be sweet when she wanted to be. When you hear of 'sweet but a psycho', you could think of Maddy.She had the innocence of a chick when she talked about certain things and was so excited as we discussed the gifts. At some point, she even made me laugh.When I finished with her, I proceeded to the playground and met the kids having fun."Aunty Lyric, do you also think aunty

MARTAHow bad could a person's life get? How unlucky could one person be?Marta had these questions running through her mind as she ran out of her car. She had been driving at a crazy speed, she nearly ran into a truck. But she wouldn't have cared if she did. At the moment, she'd rather be dead than live this nightmare. Her parents, grandmother and Penelope were at the terrace when she arrived. They seemed to be having a conversation and stopped when they saw her. Marta wasn't the only one that looked worried. She'd never seen her grandmother more upset before. "How?" The word fell from her lips with pain. "I saw her yesterday," Penelope started with a sigh. "To my surprise, she'd been looking for me for five years. I couldn't recognize her because... she looked beautiful. Clearly, she found a way to get rid of the scar. She wanted to know where I buried the kids, but fortunately, I found a way to discard her. So, when I left her, I did my research and got to know she was

JARIS I kept my eyes on her as I called Lyric. She picked up on the second beep."I need you in my office. Now." I dropped the call.Marta's brows furrowed. Knowing that someone was coming, she tried standing to her feet."I didn't say you could get up." My words halted her on her knees.She looked at me with surprise, her lips parted in shock."BâBut I thoughtâ""If you don't do what I say, Marta, you're getting kicked out of the Pack tonight."Dread darted across her eyes. Of course that was her biggest fear. Being away from me. I wasn't even sure she was worried about the kids.She startled when someone knocked on the door. She must already guess who it was because her eyes turned pitiful."Jaris, pleaseâ""Come in, Lyric."She bit her lip so hard I wondered how blood didn't spill.The door opened. I didn't need to look behind to know it was Lyric making her way in. Her caramel fragrance was impossible to miss.She must have paused at the door, probably taken aback by the si

LYRIC Several minutes passed. When I didn't hear a word from Jaris, I had to look at him to be sure he was even in the car with me.He was. He just looked... distant. Angry. What was he thinking about?"Thank you," I sniffled, hoping to bring him back. I did because he looked at me. "For helping with the board. Although, I remember telling you not to get involved."He gave a cold shrug. "You still got suspended.""For three weeks!" I laughed. My voice was hoarse since I'd been crying.I looked at the window again and wiped my face.****â ****â JARISI had to give it to those men who were patient and composed no matter the situation they found themselves. I mean, they could be going through shit and still speak calmly to the person that was pissing them off.I've been waiting for Marta for an hour now and already lost my mind. In addition, there was a broken vase on the floor to prove my impatience.I picked up my phone and tried not to crush it in my grasp as I called he
