I saw this coming.
The part of me that was afraid that this night couldn't go so smoothly without any problems.
Even if we beat Caden's last plan and he seemed to have been silent for some time, a part of me had still been worried that he'd try to come up with something to ruin this night.
This was it.
I went completely numb as the nanny tearfully told me how she was supposed to be waiting at their school for them but had to quickly go somewhere to do something else. And when she returned, the kids and the driver were gone. She thought they might've come home somehow but there was still no sign of them.
I didn't think about the fact that the driver had clearly betrayed us and taken them away. The very thought that kept nagging at me was the fear of what Caden would do.
Gods, Jaris couldn't know about this.

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

LYRICThe day did come. Despite how much I wished it wouldn't.Jaris held my hand as he walked me into the huge hall which was normally used for the trials. It wasn't just the Council that were gathered; he had summoned other Wolves as well.What was he doing?If he wasn't holding my hand right now, I wasn't sure I'd have kept going.The people mumbled as we climbed onto the stage. Every single person I knew was there, including the Executioners.I kept my head down the whole time, too afraid to meet their judgy eyes. I still didn't know what Jaris' plan was. But I trusted him.He took the stage. Everyone bowed their heads and chorused his new title."Thank you all for coming," his voice was firm as he spoke. "I had to do this today because, it's a topic that is beyond important to me. It involves the woman I love."The hall went dead silent."And also, the woman carrying my child."The silence was shattered in a split second.My mouth dropped open in shock, same time the crow

LYRIC"Wh—What do you want?" I had to clear my throat to make sure it didn't come out raspy and give away the fact that I was crying."It was you."His words made me furrow my brows, until slowly, they made sense.He still pointed it out."The girl at the hospital. The one that saved me."I hadn't realized the extent of what I did until Caden himself was thanking me for it. Gosh, I hated myself right now."I didn't save you. I was stupid and didn't even know who you were," I snapped. I'd been beyond stupid."But you did save me." He sounded serious. "I've been looking for that same lady for years, Lyric.""Well, keep looking!""This whole time, you knew but didn't say a word."I pinched my brows, my frustration mounting as I so desperately wanted to let it out on someone."We—We need to talk, Lyric."What the hell?"Have you lost your mind? I'm not seeing you.""Please. I just need to...I need to see you.""Why?""It's important!" He suddenly laughed. "You're a Siphon, Lyric! Do

JARIS For a full minute, I still couldn't grasp what he was on about. What was the connection?"I find it suspicious, don't you,boss? I mean, having this image with her. I don't think a woman would carry this if it didn't belong to her."Slowly, I realized that I understood what the connection was. I just didn't want to believe it.Lyric had been pregnant?"How?" The single word felt heavy on my tongue. How would Nerion even know?"I'm just as confused, boss. There's no record of her having twins anywhere. So, I don't understand where this is coming from."Something constricting squeezed my chest, making each breath feel like a struggle. Lyric had been pregnant. For who?****† LYRICThe Central Pack House was a wonder. Beyond beautiful!When we arrived, I almost forgot about my predicaments as I focused on admiring the stunning place.I was shown to my room which was larger and more beautiful than the one we had in Darkspire. The entire place looked like a modern palace.

LYRICMy hands balled into fists beside me. By the gods, I wanted to take her pride away. Just... anything to bring her from this throne a little.But I knew there was nothing I could do. Plus with my baby involved, I wasn't ready to get into another fight with her.Despite how hard it was bowing to the woman who's made me her enemy from the very first day she saw me and ensured that life was always difficult for me, I forced my head to go low, giving her the glory she wanted.I couldn't see her face, but I could somehow tell she was smiling."I don't think I can hear your words," she taunted.My throat burnt from trying to produce the words, but I forced them out nonetheless. "Grand Luna.""Hm." She stepped back, a hand on her thigh. "Sounds much better. Who would've thought that seeing you like this would be such a fulfilling sight?"I raised my head as, my cheeks burning in shame. Her smug smile made me hate myself even more."It's a good thing you're finally learning your pl

LYRIC It wasn't until Jaris and I were away from the bank that all the nervousness I'd been bottling away came flooding out.My palms were sweaty and shaky. I rubbed them on the sides of my jeans, taking deep breaths and reminding myself I was fine."It's fine, Lyric. Nobody will dare hurt you," Jaris said reassuringly when we reached the room.The tears came freely as I dug my shaky hands into my hair."Lyric—""No, I'm just... I'm just overwhelmed," I chuckled. "You stood up for me in there, against every single person." My voice broke. "Am I worth it,, Jaris? T—The people might be against you for this."Gods, I felt like a bad luck. His first day as King and he was already going against the entire council for my sake."I don't care. Listen, Lyric," he took my hand. "I already plan on erasing this stupid law that paints your kind as dangerous. From tomorrow after we've moved in, I'll start working on it and get the Council to agree with me. As soon as the law is erased, you'll
