LYRIC

By the time I finished going through the interior, Kael had arrived.

"Do you like it?" He kept a straight face as he asked.

"I love it! Is the Alpha in?" I wouldn't mind going over to his room to thank him.

"No. He stepped out already."

I held the car key dearly to my chest. "Thank you so much. I'll definitely reach out to him. I love this."

He nodded before drifting his attention to Jace who had been quiet since he arrived.

"Hi, Jace."

"Hey. How you doing?"

Kael shrugged. "Cool, I guess."

There was a certain sadness in Kael's eyes.

"Um... I guess I'll get going." I cut in and tried going into my old car, but Jace pulled me back.

"Nope. I'm driving my new car." He took the key from me and settled in the driver's seat.

In a couple of minutes, we were driving out the gates.

"We should've taken the ribbons off at least!" I grumbled.

"Nope. How then would everyone know it was a gift?"

I laughed.

"How are things with you and Kael?"

His demeanor changed. Why did he always get th

    LYRICDespite his efforts and involving some of the guards around the perimeter, they still weren't able to get Caden.It was frightening to know he could easily penetrate the Pack without being noticed. How was any of us safe?How was I safe?Adrenaline had been saving me while I was in that restroom with him. Now that I was finally out, I could feel the entire fear my brain had been trying to protect me from.The monster who had tortured me for hours almost laid his hands on me today again.Kael drove us home while Jaris and I stayed in the backseat, his hand holding mine firmly."You're safe, Lyric. He's gone." He kept saying assuring words to me, probably because he could still see how shaken I was.I couldn't utter a word. And when we got home and he led me to my room, a new fear settled in my guts.The things Caden had said about him. Did he mean them? Did Jaris really kill his ex? And did he make me wear rid lipstick 'cause it was her favorite?Caden made him look like

    LYRIC He was onto me before the scream could fully form, his hand pressing heavily on my mouth.I fought with all I had—my legs, my entire body. I thrashed against him, still trying to scream and wriggle out of his hold.But he was too strong. He wouldn't let me."I'm not here to hurt you, but if you keep struggling, you'll make me do it."I stopped, majorly because my body was already growing tired from struggling with him."I'll take my hand off now. But you can't scream, Lyric. You wouldn't want to know what would happen if you do."I swallowed tersely around the lump that had long formed in my throat. How the hell did he get into Darkspire and into this diner?Slowly, he pulled his hand away, but I was too scared to attempt streaming again.My body quivered as I shrank backward, wanting to get away from him. Expect the sink was right behind me, and he was just in front of me. There was nowhere for me to go."Please, let me go." The sight of him was already bringing back mem

    LYRICWork went smoothly for the rest of the day.By evening when I was done with my shift, I called Jace and he met me in the parking lot.I noticed something off the moment I settled in the car."Where have you been the whole day?" I turned to Jace."Uh...just cruising around with some friends?"He focused on driving the car while I focused my eyes on his body. He looked like he had been very busy.Then I saw it. The mark on his neck. It was that of a lipstick."Where the hell have you been, Jace?!" My voice was more alarmed."What? I just told you I was with some friends.""Yeah, but you didn't tell me they were females. What sort of game were you playing that she'd leave her lips on your neck?"His hand quickly went to his neck, ma

    LYRIC I didn't expect his next question. "Did you meet her before the party by any chance?""Oh, come on. What is this?" Jace rasped. "Why would she meet an Executioner before now?""Can you let us do our job?" One of the females snapped."Yeah, as long as you take that job elsewhere rather than bugging an ill lady.""Jace, it's fine." I intervened. "I'll just talk."If he kept up with this, we'd really look suspicious.I returned my gaze to the man. "Yes. We met at a mall where I went to get gifts for the twins."His eyes were as dark as night, no emotions in them."What did you two talk about?"I shrugged. "She told me I was beautiful.""That's all?""She also asked me if I knew a certain lady. I told her I didn't and left."He returned the tab to his partner. "And did you two talk at the party?"I took another dry gulp. "Yes.""Where?""She followed me away from the party. I was actually shocked to see her. She told me she was into girls and liked me which was the reason sh

    JARISThere were five of them, and they were already waiting in front of the morgue.The Executioners always had one thing in common—looking scary and intimidating. One look and you'd know you didn't want to mess with them.Over time, they've been one of the bodies that operated outside the authority of the wolves. Most times, they didn't need approval to do what they wanted."Alpha Jaris," the one in front dipped his head when I got close, the others imitating his movement. "The name is Cole."I nodded before going into the morgue with them."I was told that she died here at your party," Cole said as I led the way."That's correct.""Do you have any suspects?""I don't. But I was hoping you would. Because I didn't invite your partner to my party."Reaching the fridge, the body was pulled out by one of the morgue assistants.These people had been trained to be cold-blooded monsters. If they felt anything for their dead partner in front of them, none of them showed it. Their fac
