Caden had a fight to plan. He was suddenly appreciative for keeping more of Lyric's blood back then as that was what he planned to use on Jaris.

He had it in mind to begin the plot as soon as he returned to the Pack. He was taking Jaris down tonight and getting Lyric back. He was going to make her pay dearly for wanting to leave him in the first place.

However, he was in for a surprise when he reached the Pack.

Corey, his right-hand man had been waiting in the parking lot where he delivered the news.

"Lyric is here. She came back on her own."

LYRIC

Sometimes, a decision might seem like the most stupid one. But what could you do when it was the only one you could make?

I nervously rubbed my hands together, my eyes pinned at the door, waiting for the moment Caden would show up. I knew he was back. The question was: what was he going to do to me?

My heart skipped out of my chest when the door opened abruptly. Chills traveled from his cold eyes to my spine.

    JARIS"She's better than she was a month ago. So, with more care, she'll get better," Doctor Meredith finished her analysis of Greta.Looking through the window, I watched Greta's sleeping form on the bed. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. I wish she were just the same whenever she was awake."Thank you, Meredith. Don't forget to keep me posted. All the time.""Definitely, your Highness."I left the ward to join Lyric in the car."How's she?""Getting better, I hope."I started the car. Lyric's hand was on mine before I could move the wheel."She'll be fine, Jaris. The most important thing is that we saved her. We'll get her the prosthetic hands when she's fit to use them. We'll make sure she's properly cared for... She'll get better."I took a deep breath, my head falling back to the seat.Honestly, I didn't know how to feel better. Greta was too messed up in the head. Her sanity had been completely crushed by the cruelty she suffered for eight years. I knew they didn't

    ONE WEEK LATER LYRICMy pulse hammered like a warning bell, ringing through my ears.My hands were clammy with sweat. It didn't matter how many times I wiped them on my dress.I didn't think I'd have a reason to be this scared again. Perhaps 'scared' wasn't the right word to use. You could say I was the most nervous I've ever been.I stood at the doorway, my eyes on Jaris, who was seated on the bed with the kids. I didn't know why he insisted on going ahead with this. I tried to convince him we could keep the truth from the kids for now and reveal it to them when they come of age."I don't want to overwhelm them at this tender age." That was my excuse.But deep down, I knew that was a lie. I wanted the kids to know. I was just scared they might have a hard time accepting me as their mother.I've been rejected so many times that I now fear my own kids might do the same. What if they never see me past someone they considered a friend? What if they prefer Marta to be their mother?Go

    LYRICGreta was taken to the hospital in the Capital under a different identity. Jaris ensured the people that would have access to her were very limited, and even the few that did, although being people he trusted, didn't know who Greta was or why she was brought in that state. Jaris was sure news of her release wouldn't get to Caden.I couldn't get over the state she'd be found in. I had been too shocked at first to believe that was human, let alone Jaris' mate. How could Caden have been so evil? So heartless?And Marta? An entire family kept her locked up like some rat. These people had grandchildren!The girl was messed up in the head. I couldn't begin to imagine the mental and physical torture she must've had to put up with. Killing the Monroes wasn't enough for me. Caden was the bigger monster here and now more than ever, I wanted to bring him to the ground.I came up with a plan. It was a huge risk, but for the first time, I didn't mind dying. If I get to take Caden down

    Light vanished from her eyes. Her lips moved but didn't make a sound. She must've realized how much of a fuck up she just made.Oh, Marta. How the hell did I not see this?I shook my head at her, my disappointment bleeding through."Jace was right. You were never pregnant.""Jaris..."I pulled back, just enough to hit her in the face. Her head reeled to the side as blood instantly stained her lips."You've lost the privilege to ever call my name." I gripped her jaw. "You give it another try, you'll lose your tongue."I pushed her away as if it were filth. Then, I turned to Lyric, whose face was covered with both guilt and unease.She already told me the truth in the car about Marta threatening to expose Xyla when she discovered she was their mother. I just didn't know how to forgive the fact that she lied about the twins from the scan being dead.It all made sense—the kids' strange attachment to her, the scan image Kael had found in her room, why she'd risk her life to come watch the

    JARIS I didn't think I'd seen Marta pale so quickly. I watched as the last shred of hope slowly dissipated from her eyes, replaced by a strange kind of fear.If there was one thing Marta Monroe feared losing the most, it was herself.Lyric locked her eyes on me, asking for the go-ahead. I gave it."Okay," she nodded, then turned to Marta.Her hand gripped her wrist again. Her nails sank deep."I know where she is!"A terrified shriek ripped the silence, only for it to be stitched back together by an unnerving stillness., broken only by Marta's ragged breaths.Something snapped in my chest. Something old. I realized it was the tiny shred of respect I once had for her."You're right," I could hear her loud intake of breath. "I helped Caden. G—Greta has been with me."I said nothing. Only stared.The silence stretched, saying more than words could. It became unbearable, and she broke down in tears."I'm sorry. I just wanted you out of the way. Caden... Caden told me we could work to

    LYRICI nodded reluctantly. Goodness, how do I say this?"I'm waiting, Lyric. Who is it?"I glanced out the window, taking a deep breath.Honestly, I was tired of keeping secrets from him. They've never ended well.He didn't even know his brother and I were fated. Wouldn't it be best if he heard it from me rather than hear it from the vile mouth of Caden?Maybe I could tell him after telling him about Marta."It's Marta," I revealed the first truth. "At least, I think it's her. Corey said she's the one that's been supplying Caden with information."The betrayed look on his face bruised me. To him, Marta was the mother of his kids. She was his grand Luna and someone he had been with the longest. This was worse than a betrayal.It took him some time to process the shock and speak again. "I should've suspected. She and Caden...had some sort of friendship back then," his brows drew taut.He sighed. "How do we confirm she knows where Greta is?""There's one way quick method I know of.
