Semua Bab Luna Lyra: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Lyra’s povHe exhaled, his expression guarded. “Just tell me. What is it?”“It’s about Tricia,” I said carefully.He stood still, his fingers clenching beside him. A flicker of pain crossed his face, but he quickly masked it. “What about her?”“There was a dead body found in Crewwood borders,” I explained. “Calista told me they increased border patrol after the last attack. That’s when they found the body. On checking it, they discovered it was Tricia’s.”He was silent for a few seconds.“Did she say what happened to her?”“No. Though she said, they are still investigating. But they felt you should know about it.”His jaw clenched slightly, but he nodded. “I see.”“Are you okay?” I asked gently.He let out a hollow chuckle. “She rejected me, Lyra. It doesn’t matter anymore.”I frowned, but before I could say anything, he cut me off. “It's okay Lyra. really. I need to see my warriors. It seemed we really needed to go back home. My warriors and I will have to leave soon.”I exchanged a

Luke’s povThe guard led me away, and as I stepped into the pack house, I was welcomed with warmth and the comforting scent of home. The scent of fresh pine and burning wood filled the air, a stark contrast to the damp, musty dungeon cell.The packhouse wasn't a crumbling, gothic mansion; it was a sleek, modern house nestled amidst a grove of ancient oak trees. I noticed the trees when we arrived yesterday. The exterior was a blend of steel and glass, reflecting the moonlight like a thousand shattered mirrors. Inside, the minimalist aesthetic was punctuated by unexpected touches of the past. The guard took me through the hall. The main hall was a soaring space with a polished concrete floor and a wall-sized fireplace roaring to life. Animal skins – wolf, bear, and even the occasional cougar – were draped over sleek leather couches, adding a touch of primal elegance. A grand staircase, crafted from dark wood, led to the upper levels, where the bedrooms were spacious and luxurious, eac

Damien’s pov When Luke said he had to go, I left my seat and came round to shake his hand, thanking him for giving all this information. It's Been an enlightening discussion with him intimating me of all the happenings in the pack world where it concerns Axelland. I held his arm with my other hand while smiling at him as I wished him well. I gave my regards to Alpha Jaxon and his wife though since he said he is going back that day. I then led him to the door and smiled as he left and closed the door after him.I stood at the closed door and sighed. IIt'sbeen a tiring day and the day is not over yet. Luke seemed like a good man, someone I could become friends with. If only we didn’t start with this misunderstanding. I rolled my shoulders to lessen the tension there as I walked slowly back to a couch to sit down.“At least, he is out of the dungeon,” Lyra said to me as if she could read my mind. “I’m sure he will understand your actions and will forgive you.”I nodded, but there was s

Lyra’s PovI told Damien that I couldn’t stand by and watch an innocent man die. He simply nodded and brushed his thumb on my lips. That sent some electric jolts down my body. Is this man trying to seduce me here? Earlier on I listened to his thoughts about Luke and spoke about it.But I didn’t want him to suspect what I had done so I disconnected and stopped listening. I have to let him know of my new found powers before I can use it on him. That only seems fair. I only used it on Denise because she was wallowing in pity and I wanted to help her. I’m glad it ended well. But from now, I have to let people know and then ask for their permission before I get into their minds. I wouldn’t like to invade anyone’s privacy. That would seem like abuse of powers. I turned to look at Damien. This man is definitely trying to seduce. I don’t need to read his mind to know that. "And that’s why you’re perfect for this role,” he said. “You challenge me, Lyra, and that’s exactly what I need."Wow,

“But I can assure them of his release, too. I can even take one of them back to the dungeon to prove it to them if that’s what it takes.”“I still think it's a bad idea, Lyra. The guests have started arriving,” he said, releasing my arm. Then he nodded towards the crowd outside. “I saw your father’s assistant as I was coming in just now.”“Oh. We wouldn’t want him seeing me now and trying something so soon.”“Exactly,” Rowan said, nodding his head as we were all on board with the plan.I sighed. “I think you are right. Find Luke and tell him his men need him.”“Sure, Luna,” he said, smiling.I decided to head inside my room, our room and start getting ready for the event. As Rowan said, the guests have started arriving, and the event will start soon. I need to dress up and also make sure that Leo is ready.I turned back and headed upstairs. I wonder what sort of clothing I should put on. I need something that would pass a message without being shouting or showy, something that would
