JARIS

"I knew your mother very well. She was fierce and so full of life. She was one of the best Lunas Darkspire ever had. It's unfair that her life gets taken from her like this."

"The people have grown more agitated knowing the Siphon is still around. They feel the Luna was unjustly killed by her and any of them could easily fall victim."

"She was warned never to use her powers wrongly. And clearly, she just did that. She shouldn't go unpunished!"

My head ached the more I listened to them. For some reason, I wanted to growl at them, claw at their necks and rip their hearts out for bringing this conversation.

I hated it. I hated it so fucking much!

"That's enough talking," I cut one of them off, hoping my irritation wasn't too obvious. "I understand your concerns, but I need you to know that I have things under control. Lyric will definitely be punished for what she did."

"When?" Someone dared to ask. "She's been locked up for a week now. What if she escapes?"

    LYRIC "Hey! Can you stop being a dumbass? Now's not the time." Jace shoved him on the chest. "Just so you know, I just don't trust her because she's my bestfriend. I trust her because I know who she is and know she'll never lie to me so blatantly. If she said she didn't do it, then of course, I believe her. And if you were in love with me, you'd believe me too."A pressing silence filled the air as the two men continued to stare at each other in heated gazes. Until slowly, their rage began to dissipate."Lyric is a good woman," Kael shook his head. "I know. Okay? I actually like and respect her. But it's hard to believe when she's the only Siphon we've had, plus she had a good reason to kill the Luna. Either way, I don't know how I can help, Jace. I swore my loyalty to the King. Breaking Lyric out would be a blatant betrayal. I can't do that."Disappointment clouded Jace's features. "Really? You won't do it even for me?""Jace, come on. Don't try to make this about us. You know I

    LYRIC My heart hurt all over from having her in front of me. She looked at me with so much hurt in her eyes, like I was nothing short of a stranger."Maddy," I called softly, holding onto the bars.She wouldn't even come close to the cell but kept a safe distance, as though it was possible for me to touch her through the bars.Seconds passed. She didn't utter a word to me."Maddy... I didn't do it. Please, you have to believe me."Her expression remained vacant, as though she was staring at a blank wall.I was starting to get worried when she finally scoffed. "Remember that day at the kids' birthday party? In the restroom where you killed that Executioner?"She stopped for a fleeting moment. "You heard footsteps. Someone had been watching you."She paused again, and this time, it ticked in my brain. My lips parted in shock."I was shocked, you know? For a moment, I'd contemplated talking to someone about it. But then, I thought to myself—it's Lyric. She's not that dangerous. I me

    LYRIC I woke up some hours later in a clinic. The pain had subsided and made me realize the full impact of my situation.Instantly, I didn't think about the Luna or the people blaming me. My mind was too carried away by the blood I'd seen between my thighs."Hey," I heard Jace's familiar voice, followed by the feel of his hand.That was when I realized he was sitting next to me.There was no light in his eyes. Just plain sorrow."My baby," I quickly tried to touch my tummy, only to realize I couldn't move my hands.I glanced down and to my horror, my hands were cuffed on both sides of the bed.No. There's no need for this. They couldn't do this to me."You need to calm down, Lyric," Jace said as I struggled with the cuffs."Where's the doctor?" I was panting heavily. "My baby. Is it okay? I need to—""You need to rest for now.""Talk to me, Jace! There was so much blood. My baby—""You lost the baby."Silence.A strong painful one.That was what I felt deep in my head as his wo

    MARTAHer anxiety climbed higher like a steep heel when one of the men called her."Please, tell me you have something good for me," she said with optimism."Yes, ma'am. We were able to find one relative of Penelope. Her sister."Marta's eyes widened as the hairs on the back of her neck bristled. "A—Are you serious? Where does she live? You need to check if Penelope is with her.""Her name is Cora. We just got her address and will be keeping a tab on her to know if she's heard anything about Penelope.""Good. You cannot miss this up. Not this. Do you understand?""Yes, ma'am."****† LYRIC"Lyric!""Oh, gods! Lyric!""What the fuck!""How could you do this?"There were too many voices. All distorted. I couldn't make out which belonged to who or what was even happening.My eyes were still closed, my head aching, same with my abdomen. It hurt all over, and the distorted voices around me weren't making it any better."Lyric! Wake up!" Someone shook me roughly. They sounded urgen

    LYRICThings were about to get messy.Here I was, baking some cookies for the kids just before the news of Alpha Miguel's death reached me.Jaris was very furious and set to fly out to the Alpha's pack. Last night, he'd given me a highlight of what the problem was. Now, with the high-ranking Alpha dead, it wasn't looking good, especially with Jaxen being the suspect.I intended to go with Jaris and decided to quickly serve the cookies to the kids before getting ready.Fortunately, their problematic mother wasn't in when I entered, only their nannies. Jaris told me he'd managed to speak with the kids last night and was even the one that suggested giving something to them this morning.They were getting ready for school and all stopped to look at me when I entered."Hey!" I beamed, ignoring how hurt I was from the fact that th
