The alpha king's slave mate CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE
Garrick's POVBy the time I left Lyra’s mother’s chambers, my head was already buzzing with the problem of what came next.I had duties to get back to, patrol schedules to review, guard rotations to adjust—but none of it sat right in my mind. Every thought kept circling back to the diary, and to Lyra’s face when she told me she trusted me.Which meant I couldn’t tell Ronan.Not yet.The king was a lot of things—sharp, decisive, relentless—but patience wasn’t one of them. If he thought something was threatening the castle, he’d rip the truth out by force, whether Lyra was ready or not. That would break her trust in me, and I wasn’t willing to do that.So, I came up with a plan: avoid Ronan as much as possible until I could think of a convincing lie. Not easy when you serve as his Beta.The day passed in a blur of drills, reports, and a dozen small crises, none of them enough to distract me from the deadly conversation I knew was coming. By the time the sun was dipping low and I was hea

Garrick's POVThe second she held it out toward me, my hand moved on instinct. The leather looked ancient—dark brown, the edges frayed, the kind of book that made you know that it held many secrets from the moment you lay your eyes on it. I wanted to feel the weight of it, see how many pages there were, maybe even catch a glimpse of her mother’s handwriting.But before I could even graze the cover, her palm came down on the back of my hand in a sharp slap.“Hey—” I started, pulling my hand back.“No.” Her voice was firm, the kind of tone that cut through any protest. She hugged the diary closer to her chest, as if I might try to snatch it from her. “I’m showing you this because I trust you, Garrick. But you can’t touch it, and you can’t read it. Not yet.”I raised a brow. “You’re going to wave something that intriguing in my face and then tell me I can’t even peek? That’s cruel.”Her expression didn’t waver. “This isn’t about curiosity. It’s about… caution.”I studied her. “You’ve rea

I found her just as I was starting to think she’d vanished entirely.The front gates of the castle was ahead, and there she was—walking in like she didn’t have a care in the world. My pulse kicked up, part from relief, part from the leftover heat of my run-in with Xavier.I didn’t slow my pace. The moment she was within reach, I caught her arm—not roughly, but firmly enough to stop her.“Where the hell have you been?” I asked.Her brows rose slightly at my tone. “I went for a walk in the forest,” she said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. “I needed to clear my head.”I narrowed my eyes. “Alone?”“Yes, Garrick. Alone.” She tugged her arm free. “You sound like I committed a crime.”I didn’t answer right away. Instead, Xavier’s voice echoed in my mind. Something’s changed… and that makes me want her even more. The possessive edge in his tone made my jaw clench. I hated the thought of him watching her.I folded my arms, studying her carefully. “Do you know why Xavier is

Garrick’s POVI’d checked the training grounds, the gardens, and even the small reading room tucked away in the western wing. No Lyra.She wasn't in the kitchen, her chambers and the servants said they hadn't seen her. I was starting to think she’d vanished into thin air.Where the hell had she gone?My stride was sharp, my eyes scanning every corner as I turned down the corridor toward the servants’ wing, thinking she might’ve slipped there unnoticed. I was so focused on my search that I didn’t notice someone stepping into my path until I nearly walked into them.Chloe.Of course.I exhaled slowly through my nose, already feeling the irritation start to build in my gut. Of all the people I didn’t have the patience for right now…The last thing I had time for right now was her nonsense.“Chloe,” I said flatly, giving her a curt nod as I shifted to go around her.She mirrored my movement instantly, sliding into my path again with a fake smile that didn’t touch her eyes. “Garrick.”“Mov

Ronan’s POVI couldn’t focus.The council chamber was quiet except for the low murmur of Garrick’s voice as he went over the day’s reports, but his words were little more than background noise. My mind kept drifting back to breakfast. To Lyra’s faraway eyes. To the way she’d pulled from my touch like it burned her.I’d told myself I wouldn’t overthink it. That I’d give her space. But now that we were here—just Garrick and I, the memories of her reaction still fresh in my mind—the thought kept circling like a vulture.Was it the bond? The throne? Or something else entirely?I looked down at my hand to see if there was something wrong. Had I touched poison? Was my touch that bad? Did she hate me as her mate?Part of me wanted to confront her tonight, demand answers, force her to tell me what was wrong. But another part—maybe the smarter part—knew that pushing her would only make her retreat further. She was guarded enough around me as it was. She didn’t trust easily.Would she even tell
The alpha king's slave mate CHAPTER FIFTY
Ronan’s POVWe continued the rest of breakfast in silence. Well… I continued eating while Lyra was just being… strange. Her body was very tense and her eyes kept getting even more distant by the minute like her thoughts were pulling her deeper into her head.She had still barely touched her food which had long since gone cold.I tried not to stare, but it was difficult. Her mind was somewhere far from here—further than I could reach. I cut into my food, listening to the faint clink of silverware and the muffled footsteps of servants moving beyond the door, but I couldn’t shake the growing unease growing in my gut.She didn’t even pretend to be present at this point. Her fingers toyed with the edge of her napkin, twisting the fabric over and over until it was wrinkled beyond repair. Every so often, her gaze would flick toward the window, not to look at the gardens or the sky, but to stare blankly at nothing at all. It was the kind of distance that came from holding yourself too tightly
