The Rise Of The Ugly Luna 140
PLEASE NOTE!!! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS PHYSICAL ABUSE. LYRIC "You've been out for a long time," he tilted his head to the side. "I want to believe your memory is still intact?"An intense, biting acidity flooded my mouth, making me wince with its harshness. He didn't recognize me. Back then, when his eyes opened, he'd only seen the ugly girl.I shivered at my situation. I was sure those men behind him were Feeders. But what was he doing with them? And why did they give him so much respect like he was their leader or something?"Over here, Lyric," he spoke again. He and Jaris had almost the same voice. The silver eyes were the same—even Maddy had it."When I ask a question, you're meant to answer." He took his hand to my throat, and I winced when he cut me with his claw to prove his point."Please," I whimpered, attempting to pull my neck away."I told you to give me answers." His claw was out of my neck already, but his hand was still close enough to make me fear he would cut me

JARISThe Elders were already waiting in the meeting room before I arrived. The look on their faces wasn't good at all.I expressed concern when I noticed Luca's state. The man was badly bruised, like he had gotten into an accident or something.A hint of what the problem might be crossed my mind, and I didn't like it."What's going on?" I remained standing at the head of the table.Somehow, Luca looked angry at me. But it seemed he was too scared of me to act it."I was attacked, Alpha Jaris. And you wouldn't believe who it was."I said nothing, prompting him to continue."Someone from the dead." My hand slowly curled into a fist. "Your brother."I experienced a profound chill deep inside, like frost settling over the warmth of my heart. I'd seen it coming. But getting to confirm it was another feeling on its own.My expression remained impassive. The Elders might easily think I don't care, but they didn't know the war taking place in my head."What is this, Alpha Jaris?" Anot

LYRICLuna Isolde was right.Jaris and I could never be a thing.I couldn't put a name to what we had between us of recent, but I was sure it could never go beyond this. We could never have real feelings for each other.As I shut the door after his departure, I slid to the floor and wept.It hurt that maybe; just maybe my life would've been different if I wasn't 'this.'Perhaps, I'd have been able to accompany him to the Capital and even get to know what the problem was.I'd have kept him company while he navigated whatever challenges he was going to deal with.Maybe we would've cracked a joke or two and shared a laugh.Maybe, just maybe, we'd have even held hands at some point.But none of it could be real.I was a dangerous forbidden thing; a murderer.I needed to be far from him and everyone else.I wiped my face as I got on my feet.My handbag was already set. Since the place was still full and busy, I didn't want to risk moving around with luggages to avoid drawing attentio

LYRICFor a moment too long, I was frozen, not knowing how else to proceed.Maybe I should turn around and leave. What if the corpse manages to speak and expose me?I knew it sounded stupid. But I wasn't joking when I said I wasn't thinking straight.I pushed myself forward. It was better if I knew what their thoughts were. At least, that way I'd know how to proceed with myself.Getting to the entrance, I found all the people I knew in there, Jaris being at the forefront. The body was still there, a painful reminder of the life I'd taken."What are those marks on her wrist?" Luna Isolde asked.Jaris crouched to touch it. Judging by the look on his face, he had no idea about it.He turned to some of the guards beside him. "Take care of the body and find out who she was."At that moment, I couldn't express how grateful I was that there were no cameras in this part of the Pack. The guest house was hardly used.The guards nodded as Jaris walked away, coming toward the door. He paused

LYRICThat was it. I lost it.The last thread of my control.My breathing got uneven as I tried and failed to suppress my tears. One came running effortlessly.The Executioner turned fully to face me, wearing a smile. I wouldn't be surprised if she was amused by my tears."So, what's it going to be, Lyric?" She walked back to me. "Are you going to tell me what you know? Or should I go ahead and inform my colleagues?"Neither of the options was better. There was no way I was letting her leave when she already had her suspicions.Amidst my fear and tears, something struck me. Her colleagues didn't know I existed. So, if she didn't report to them, they'd be entirely clueless.I gulped with a flutter of nerves. What if... what if I could Siphon her memories? She wouldn't remember seeing me and won't be able to expose me to the others. It'll give me enough time."Lyric, it'd be a shame to do this the wrong way..." She went on talking while I zoned out.I observed our proximity. She was
The Rise Of The Ugly Luna 135
LYRICI realized I hadn't been mistaken when I spotted someone familiar from the crowd. It was her.And even now, she was staring at me, giving me that chilling look, letting me know she could see me.What was she doing here? How did she get an invite?Unlike the previous day, she was wearing a long pretty dress. The tattoos on her arms and neck made her look fierce in a dress that should've made her look like a Princess.The dress didn't even look fitting on her. She looked like she'd be way better in jeans or whatever she wore at the mall yesterday.I broke our contact, attempting to distract myself with something. But it wasn't possible. Not when I had a killer in front of me. A killer who was out to get me.But was it possible she knew who I was already? Was that the reason she was here?I took a deep breath, trying and failing to calm the storm in my heart.I needed to know if she was here for me. If she was, I was dead anyway. So, why don't I just risk it?There was only one
