LYRIC

My eyes glittered like a neon bulb. If I wasn't this sick, I'd have burst out laughing.

"I don't mean to disregard your help, Guinevere, but there's no need for that."

I opened the file casually. Funny.

"Are you sure? Because I know a pregnant woman when I see one."

Oh, goodness. What was she talking about?

"Trust me, Guinevere, I'm not pregnant. If there was even the slightest chance of it, I'd know."

Geez, it was weird even talking about it. How could I be pregnant when I hadn't had sex until two days ago?

"You sound like you and the Alpha haven't been intimate," she said with a teasing smile.

"N—No! It's not what I meant!"

Well, until just two days ago, we actually haven't.

"We've been careful, that's it."

She nodded with a smile, and just like that, the topic died down.

......

The highlight of the day arrived. The plan I'd been cooking for weeks since Marta hurt me.

She was a fool to think I'd let everything go after killing innocent people in my name.

I was excited wh

    LYRIC My eyes widened like saucers, shock sizzling through me. What in Moon's name has Marta done to these kids?"You should know you're special to me. If I had even the slightest idea that your daddy was supposed to go somewhere with you two, I never would've let him stay with me. I promise I didn't know. I'd never do anything to hurt you two.""We don't believe you," Xyla folded her hands with a huff. "All this time, we thought you were good."Taking Xylon's hand, she walked off. I thought of going after them but was too weak to. Too heartbroken. What exactly did I do to deserve this?****†† JARIS My forehead crinkled in a fusion of disbelief and irritation as I read through the letter. It was the second one I was reading concerning this very matter, and the shock that filled me up could not be compared to nothing. I dropped the letter when I finished and looked up at Kael to see he was just as disturbed as I was. "This real? There was really a fight between them?"

    JARIS At first, I felt nothing, my mind numb. Then, a small laughter slipped through, followed by a bigger one."Lyric," I repeated, still laughing.Then, just like a switch had been turned off, I stopped abruptly. "Why don't you tell me, which part of your brain has been affected? Is it terminal? Are you going to die? Oh, I hope you do die 'cause your brain is definitely tired of working.""I'm serious," Caden said."And I was serious when I said I hope you do die."A brief moment of silence, followed by an atmosphere thick with tension. "I need her," he sighed. "I've been searching for her for years and didn't know she was your mate this whole time. I'm trying to make this as peaceful as I can. Hand her over, and you'll never hear from me again.""Too bad that is never happening," I tsked. "As a matter of fact, you're an asshole for even spitting this trash. How possible do you think it is that I'd gladly hand Lyric to you? You mention her name one more time, and I'll damn t

    JARIS I didn't know his name, but he did work for me six years ago. He quit the job a few months later.So, one of my staff had lied against me to push Lyric away? I knew there was no way this staff would've done this on his own. Somebody must've definitely asked him to."I'll have him found and questioned," I told Lyric as I put the envelope back away."Is it really necessary? I mean, we're already together, right? Shouldn't we just let the past be?""No," my tone came out harsher than intended. "This son of a bitch is the reason we got separated for six years. If we'd been together, I'd have taken good care of you and the babies. Who knows, they might've survived. You wouldn't have gotten into trouble by awakening Caden. Do you understand that a lot of things wouldn't have been happening right now?"She nodded, clearly seeing my point.I hope to the moon there are people around when I find out who this person is, because there was no telling what I'd do to them.****†****†

    MARTAThe mirth was gone from her face. She looked vicious now as she stepped toward me."You think I don't see what you're doing? You probably forced yourself on Jaris and quickly took in for him. All for what? To secure your spot beside him? Well, guess who's still Queen, Lyric."I laughed in her face. "Oh, poor Marta." I tsked. "Stupid Marta. Always thinking everything's a competition. What Jaris and I share is special and something I'll never call a competition. Sadly, it's also something you'll never be able to understand as you've hardly ever been in love."The thought struck me, furrowing my brows. "Have you ever been in love, Marta?"The further crumbling of her mask said it all."Good gods," I muttered, faking pity. "You've never actually been loved by someone. Your whole life, you've only wanted a man who has never really wanted you. A man who only made you Grand Luna 'cause he chose his kids. And despite being grand Luna, you're still insecure because you know you'll

    LYRICA scoff burst from my throat, followed by a deep throaty laughter. Now, I looked as mad as the crowd.I found Jaris approaching me and didn't even wait for him to get close. I ran, laughing, my arms wide. He opened his arms before I reached him, caught me, pulled me up until my legs were off the floor and spun.I giggled like a kid getting candies, my hands holding his neck tightly."We fucking did it, baby," he whispered in my ear before dropping me on my feet."No! You did! You did everything, you insufferable lover-king!"We laughed at the same time, my hands still wrapped around his neck.Oh, I wish I could kiss him right now. Just kiss him tight and let him feel how deeply I loved him.In the background, Chairman Lyon officially announced the repeal of the law that supported executing S

    LYRIC Shocked gasps and whispers rippled through the crowd.The guards started moving, carrying in big ballot boxes.I could only watch in awe. Jaris planned all this for me?The place got noisy as people discussed the issue. I excused myself from the stage, running to a quiet hallway where I wept more.How did I deserve this?Just yesterday, I'd been worried sick that there might never be a solution for me. And today, he had gone the extra mile for me. The jerk was ready to give up his crown for my sake.What the hell?I heard approaching footsteps and knew it was him.I faced him, my vision blurred, offering a quivering smile."You jerk." I hit him lightly in the chest. "Why would you plan all of these and not even tell me? I didn't— I didn't even say a word."He cocked a brow at me. "Well, I didn't mention anything about you giving a speech, did I? I only asked if you were strong enough to stand before the Council."I laughed then hugged him, burying my tear-soaked face in the
