JARISThere were five of them, and they were already waiting in front of the morgue.The Executioners always had one thing in common—looking scary and intimidating. One look and you'd know you didn't want to mess with them.Over time, they've been one of the bodies that operated outside the authority of the wolves. Most times, they didn't need approval to do what they wanted."Alpha Jaris," the one in front dipped his head when I got close, the others imitating his movement. "The name is Cole."I nodded before going into the morgue with them."I was told that she died here at your party," Cole said as I led the way."That's correct.""Do you have any suspects?""I don't. But I was hoping you would. Because I didn't invite your partner to my party."Reaching the fridge, the body was pulled out by one of the morgue assistants.These people had been trained to be cold-blooded monsters. If they felt anything for their dead partner in front of them, none of them showed it. Their fac

LYRICBy the time I finished going through the interior, Kael had arrived."Do you like it?" He kept a straight face as he asked."I love it! Is the Alpha in?" I wouldn't mind going over to his room to thank him."No. He stepped out already."I held the car key dearly to my chest. "Thank you so much. I'll definitely reach out to him. I love this."He nodded before drifting his attention to Jace who had been quiet since he arrived."Hi, Jace.""Hey. How you doing?"Kael shrugged. "Cool, I guess."There was a certain sadness in Kael's eyes."Um... I guess I'll get going." I cut in and tried going into my old car, but Jace pulled me back."Nope. I'm driving my new car." He took the key from me and settled in the driver's seat.In a couple of minutes, we were driving out the gates."We should've taken the ribbons off at least!" I grumbled."Nope. How then would everyone know it was a gift?"I laughed."How are things with you and Kael?"His demeanor changed. Why did he always get th

LYRIC He was onto me before the scream could fully form, his hand pressing heavily on my mouth.I fought with all I had—my legs, my entire body. I thrashed against him, still trying to scream and wriggle out of his hold.But he was too strong. He wouldn't let me."I'm not here to hurt you, but if you keep struggling, you'll make me do it."I stopped, majorly because my body was already growing tired from struggling with him."I'll take my hand off now. But you can't scream, Lyric. You wouldn't want to know what would happen if you do."I swallowed tersely around the lump that had long formed in my throat. How the hell did he get into Darkspire and into this diner?Slowly, he pulled his hand away, but I was too scared to attempt streaming again.My body quivered as I shrank backward, wanting to get away from him. Expect the sink was right behind me, and he was just in front of me. There was nowhere for me to go."Please, let me go." The sight of him was already bringing back mem

LYRICIt took me a while to get over Jaris' action that morning.I hated that I argued with him. But I only wanted answers. And maybe I did get a little paranoid, but I wouldn't really blame myself with everything that's been happening to me.So, how could he growl at me? His beast has been so close to the surface. He could've easily hurt me.I got ready for my afternoon shift and left with Jace and the guard Jaris assigned to me. I was overly quiet during the ride, staring out the window and trying not to cry at the recollection of my argument with Jaris.Twice we've tried to have dinner, and twice something had ruined it. It was as if even the universe was fighting against us.......I had a complex surgery to perform today.I was going through the patient's file when Marta barged into my office."What do you think you're doing, Lyric?" She asked as soon as she entered, leaving me temporarily confused."Why did you attend to my patients today?" She clarified.Oh."Marta, it's

LYRIC The window was tinted, so the people out there couldn't see what was happening. Just as I was about to open the door to rush out, he seemed to calm down. His hand dropped from his head as he slowly opened his eyes. More blood had stopped rolling out of his nose, only the old trail left. "Are you alright?!" My voice was in high pitch. He looked at me and seemed a little perplexed. "Y—You're bleeding." I quickly reached for my bag and fished out my napkin. He tried to take it from me so he could do it himself but I avoided his hand and took care of the bleeding myself. His breathing seemed a little uneven, but we didn't say a word to each other until I was done cleaning."What happened?" My voice was quieter. "I don't know." He frowned, his eyes staring down at the steering in thought. Something clicked in my mind. "Caden told me something else last night. He said he left a little gift for you."I wasn't even sure if the two were related. I just didn't want to hold
