LYRIC

I rushed to the door and opened without knocking. I barged into the room, my eyes darting around. I gasped when I saw the sight in front of me.

There was a woman on her knees, her back to me. But it wasn't the sight that bothered me. It was the man in front of her.

Jaris was lying on his side, his hands and legs chained. He was shirtless with black pants on. Pure horror filled me at how sweaty and sick he looked.

The young woman sprang to her feet, eyes wide in shock as she stared at me with a bowl of something in her hand.

"Who are you?" I threw at her first.

"Have you lost your mind? You barged in here and think you're the one who gets to ask the questions? Who are you?"

I took my eyes round the room. On the table were so many herbs, portions and things I hadn't seen before. Was she a healer? But Maddy never made mention of Jaris being with someone.

I looked at the lady again. Long orange-dyed hair with large green eyes. She was pretty but looked really mean.

    LYRICNightfall came.It wasn't until my stomach started growling that I realized I hadn't eaten since morning.I went into the kitchen and the only readily edible thing I could find was bread. There was a lot of food stuff, but no cooked or stored meals. It made me wonder if Jaris had had anything to eat since he came here.I ate some bread and jam and was clearing the kitchen table when Ericka walked in.I felt her glare on me as she walked to the fridge where she took out a bottle of water."Apart from being his healer, did you and Jaris have any other history?" I turned to her as I asked, leaning against the island."I don't understand. Why are you asking?""Because I overheard you call him 'baby' earlier today. I don't think that's a nickname friends of the opposite gender conveniently

    LYRICI waited outside Luna Isolde's room, waiting for Maddy to come out.I couldn't hear their conversation, and it had taken all of my willpower not to barge in there.Maddy finally showed up, looking angrier."Hey, what's going on?" I followed her as she walked past me."Nothing.""Come on, Maddy. Don't do this to me. I've been worried sick. What's going with Jaris? You know something."She ignored me and just maintained a straight face, looking ahead as she walked."Maddy!" I grabbed her hand. "Can you say something? We're not strangers!"She pulled her hand free and brushed her face."It's dangerous, Lyric. Trust me, it'd be best if you don't know." She continued walking."What the hell are you talking about? I don't care how dangerous it is. Just fucking tell me!""I wish I can!" She yelled, standing in front of her door. "My brothers and I—we've always had this pact where we never reveal our secrets to outsiders. No matter what, we don't tell them what we are."Her word

    LYRIC Jace wasn't around to give me any form of advice. So, I had to go to Maddy."Oh, Lyric. Could you stop worrying about Jaris? Nothing could possibly happen to him. I'm sure he's fine," Maddy grouse."So, why isn't he home? Even Nerion didn't know where he went last night.""Stop mentioning that name." She glared daggers at me.I rolled my eyes. "Please, I'm being serious here. I don't know, but I kind of think something might be wrong with him. Don't you think we should ask questions?""Eww. No. I don't care what happens to him."Now I was starting to actually get pissed."Fine. I'll just do it myself."I left her room. Fortunately, when I got outside, I met Kael talking to some guards. This was looking like a search party."Hey. Is there any news on Alpha Jaris?" I approached him when he'd dismissed the men around him."No. We haven't seen him since yesterday."I picked up on pattering footsteps approaching, then turned to see Maddy rushing toward me, her face set in a fr

    LYRICShe shifted uncomfortably on her feet. "I—I haven't seen my sister in years. I don't know where she is." She stepped back and tried shutting the door, but Jace was quick to hold it open."Look, we mean no harm. If you know something, please help us. The reason we're looking for her—""I just told you, I don't know anything," she snapped. "Now get off my property and stop looking for my sister."She slammed the door in our faces.I looked at Jace. "She's hiding something.""She definitely is."I brushed my fingers into my hair. "What do we do? What if she knows something about Penelope?"Jace stared at the door for some time. "Right now, she's paranoid. We shouldn't give her a reason to mess things for us. She might erase any trace of Penelope and ruin our chances at finding her. We should make her think we're really backing off.""T—Then, how do we—""Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her. I'll come around tonight and see what she knows."He grabbed my hand. "We'll find the

    JARISSince I learned of Caden's return, it was the first time I prayed so hard to actually meet him.I stopped in front of the temple and hurried out of the car. My instincts had told me to come here, and if he wasn't in, I wouldn't know what to do.I went into the old abandoned temple and to my relief, there he was, smoking in front of the window.His face lit up when he turned and saw me, a smile forming on his lips."You came." He put the cigarette out. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you. It's been two days."I stood in the middle of the room, my eyes on him. Violent thoughts were running through my mind. So many images of what I could do to him."What did you do?" My voice was calm despite the war raging in my head.He chuckled. "You'd have to be specific."&nbs
