Asher's POVGetting married to Devlin wasn't what I expected it to be. I had been looking forward to it my whole life but instead, I was met with unfavorable events and especially now that there had been a series of rogue attacks. I suddenly had no time for my new wife and I wasn't even making any efforts to give her time. I wasn't as obsessed as I used to be with her and it made me quite uncomfortable, more than I should be because Lyra's words kept creeping into my head.Lyra had called them mates and it may be that she was right. But anytime these thoughts went towards that arena, I always tried to disrupt it. I was stopping myself from thinking of anything that could jeopardize my marriage. The marriage that I should be enjoying but I was too focused on trying to get justice for Lyra. I wanted to know what happened to her. Which was utterly insane because this was the same woman I claimed to hate, the woman who disgusted me.I should be happy about her going missing, I should be h

Lyra's POVMy clothes were disheveled. The buttons on my shirt were undone, and my skirt was tucked to my knees. Asher, lying beside me, was sleeping so soundly, but my eyes were on his body. He was not wearing any shirt, and I started to freak out.I wanted to scream, tell, and call for justice, but I knew none of that existed in Tristan's house. Asher had raped me during the night and had been too tired to have felt it. He had taken advantage of me when I was unconscious kike he was a creep. He was a disgusting person, and it was indeed a shame that I was mated to such a person. I hated him.I hated that he had no regard for me. I hated that he saw me as nothing less but an object he could use and misuse. He was having fun with me, which made him happy. That got him off, and he was a sick ma for that."Asher!" I yelled out despite trying to keep it to myself, and I had been trying to school myself. I didn't want to let my emotions control me, but it was too late.I was angry, and I

Lyra's POVTristan looked at me, smiling like the devil himself. I was somewhat relaxed about what he had promised me, already seeing myself with freedom, walking on the face of the earth, having no one to answer to but myself.I was happy, and I believed I could accomplish what Tristan wanted me to. I only needed to tell him what Asher was doing, what he was thinking about, and what he planned on doing. It wasn't anything extra, and Tristan obviously wasn't out there to get Asher. He didn't wish for anything wrong for him.Tristan then tilted his head to the side to talk to the guard behind him."Take her back to the dungeon and make sure she's well fed" his eyes darted to mine, "she has become essential. Nothing bad should happen to her".My heart skipped a beat. I was excited over what I was hearing, but I couldn't let it show. I didn't want Tristan to see I was happy because he started demanding me.A part of me was starting to feel weird about this offer, but I didn't think much

Asher's POV.Lyra's attempt to save her pack from Tristan's vengeance failed as expected. Though she was really unloved by her pack and her mother, she still very much wanted to save them.It was a stupid attempt, to be honest, did she possibly think that a few words from her was going to change Tristan's mind?Tristan had watched his parents being murdered. He watched how his life came to an end there and that was when the hatred he had for the silver moon pack came into birth. Feom childhood, he had planned to rid the world kf anybody that was a part of that pack. He was going for them, he was going to kill all of them.He didnt care for the ones kike Lyra who was hated. He had said he was going to treat Lyra the same way h would treat otber members of the silver moon pack.It was scary, I truthfully pitied Lyra because se really had a hard life. She was hated by her own pack and her mom did not care about her, and now she had found herself here, she had to pay for a crime thag she

Lyra's POVI was shocked to hear that Devlin was here from Peter. It could've been that she came in when I passed out but it didn't make any sense to me because if she was here, why then did Asher want me to stay back in his room?I stared at the food that Peter was eating, it looked really good but I had to control myself against it. It was from Devlin and I didn't want anything to do with her.I felt guilty about everything, I had hurt Devlin from sleeping with Asher and for everything else, but that didn't mean I would stop hating her for being such a bad person to me either. If Devlin had been a good person all along then I knew I wouldn't be able to live with myself for causing her so much pain, but Devlin, thankfully, was not a good person. She hated me, she waa against me and she didn't even bother to hide it. There was no way I could possibly immediately start to like her because of my guilt."Yeah, it was shocking to me too. It seems like there's a reunion of some sort" Peter
