LYRIC

The hall went completely still from the shock. My throat ran dry, beads of sweat forming on my forehead. I had to fist my hands to stop them from shaking uncontrollably.

"Why don't we make the question a little more specific?" Cole said as he stepped forward. "Did you kill Lucy? Are you a Siphon, Lyric?"

"Enough of this madness!" Jace growled. He attempted to step forward, but the female Executioner that had confronted him before got in his way. With a rough shove, she pushed him back, causing him to hit the wall.

"Hey! That's enough!" It was Kael. "You don't fucking touch him!"

"Then, tell your boyfriend to stop meddling in our business," The female Executioner said with lethal calmness, not looking ruffled one bit.

Angry Jace tried to go for her—which was really stupid because these guys were pretty strong—but fortunately, Kael was fast enough to hold him back.

Things were getting messy. The attention on me had doubled.

"Lyric." This time, it was Jaris.

My Jaris.

    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

    LYRICMy hands itched to clutch the sides of my dress, but I forced them not to, following Jaris:l' instructions. He told me not to do anything that would make me look nervous.The hall went dead silent, followed by their shocked expressions, then slow gasps and murmurs. I watched as they all exchanged glances at each other on the table, except for the Executioners who had their eyes solely on me."You're a Siphon," Cole nodded, confirming the truth in my eyes. "And you killed Lucy."I swallowed nervously on that fact. "It was an accident. Never wanted to.""You fucking killed Lucy and dared to call it an accident?" One of the females growled, her teeth grinding together. "Lucy was an amazing person. She didn't deserve to die like that!" She was the Executioner that reminded me of Lucy, and it was the first time any of them was displaying an emotion other tha

    LYRICI slept off in Jaris' arms. But even in my sleep, I still didn't find peace.I was alone and sad in my dream, with the whole world being against me. It made me so afraid when I woke up to someone knocking on my door.I looked around to an empty bed. Jaris must've left when I fell asleep. Afterall, this night was supposed to be busy for him.The knock came again. I left the bed but was too scared to go closer to know who was knocking."I know you're in there, Lyric. Open this door. We need to talk."It was Luna Isolde.Convincing myself that she couldn't harm me, I decided to listen to her. Jaris must've locked the door from outside, but I found an extra key on the table and unlocked the door with it.I found myself staring straight at the furious Luna who looked like she was ready to slaughter me."Why did it take you so long to open the door?" She growled at me."I—I was sleeping."She glared at me from head to toe."I'm sorry, Luna," I added."What happened with you and

    JARISWe took the stairs, and in no time, we reached a big bedroom.I felt her stall as she admired the place. Turning her around, I helped unzip her dress."Whose room is this?" She asked, running her eyes around.I was pleased she didn't ask about the fact that I was taking her clothes off."Just a random guest room."I helped her step out the dress. She was left in just her bra top and under shorts. At least, she should feel more free."You need to rest," I told her as I pulled her with me to the bed.She hesitated a little. I knew she wanted to argue. Wanted to remind me that we had more things to worry about and that she wanted to get out of here. But she must damn tired 'cause she finally gave in and laid on the bed.I sat with my back against the headboard then placed her head on my thighs. She closed her eyes, taking a deep relaxing breath.I revelled in the sight of her face. Her beautiful flawless face.My eyes drew to her belly where one of her hands rested. I noticed s

    JARISThe faces of the Executioners were taut as I rejoined them in the room. Well, my own face didn't look any different.I didn't miss the way Cole's eyes narrowed when he didn't see Lyric behind me."If you don't mind me asking, My King, where is Lyric?""She won't be joining us," I said, matter-of-factly as I reached my spot.Cole wasn't the only one who looked shocked and uncomfortable."I don't understand. Why won't she? You know this is a serious issue, Your Highness! We can't just sweep it under the rug like it's nothing!""Please, she needs to be here," another Executioner said, though I could see how much he was dying to get rid of the 'please'."It is," I shrugged. "But I don't feel like discussing it on a night like this. Not anymore." I started to retreat. "There are people out
