Semua Bab LYRA, THE HEIR-EATER: Bab 11 - Bab 20

CAELAN’S POVThe moment Lyra and I were alone, I turned away, my back to her.There was a long silence followed by an awkward shuffling of her feet before she spoke. Her voice sent that familiar calm sensation over me.“You called for me.” She saidI nodded.“I got a report from the leader of the warriors. You interrupted a training session.” I accusedThere was a small snort before she replied. “Interrupted is not a word I would use for what happened.”“Then why were you there?” I asked.“I was curious.”With raised brows, I turned around. “Curious?”She nodded. “I wanted to see the warriors train. I was excited.”“I see,” I said. “Is there a reason why that excited you?”Lyra pursed her lips, her cheeks reddening softly. I felt a tiny sting of annoyance.“Did you by any chance find a man to give you attention?” I asked again.I found myself taking a step towards her. My body begged her to answer the question as a feeling I could not name stirred up in me.“I beg your pardon?” Lyra f

LYRA’S POVI was just about to give up on them when Mira stepped out from the crowd.I couldn't help the smile that crept up my lips. Mira was the last person I expected to volunteer.“Thank you.” I said softly.She rolled her eyes at me. “I'm not doing this for you.”I nodded.I looked out at the crowd. There was a low murmur among them as if they questioned themselves if they could trust me enough to volunteer or not.Mira stepped up, standing beside me as she held up her hand.“One of us went missing. A little girl. She was taken, captured by some wolves.”A hushed silence fell over the crowd.“I don't care if Lyra is a spy or not; I am going out there to search for one of our own. You should do the same.” She finished.After her speech, one more rogue joined us, a young man.Mira shrugged. “I guess that is as much as you would get.”I nodded and turned to the young man.“What is your name?” I asked.“Claus,” he said. I nodded. “Claus. Thank you.”He looked away. “No need. She is

Lyra's POVHell was let loose.But I was ready. I pulled out the dagger I had taken in exchange for the sword; wielding it, I fought hard against the wolves that came my way.All around me, there were screams and howls of pain. Rogues fought fiercely, trying to defend their territory and their families.Nothing was going according to plan.And now, the Rogues were outnumbered. It was more than I had expected. It was almost as if Alpha Idris had called for backup.I also noticed that Thorne and a few warriors were missing in the war. It had been a planned betrayal to sabotage Caelan’s plans.My skin crawled at the stench of blood in the air, but I refused to let that stop me as I raced through the field.My heart clenched as I witnessed the rogues fighting hard. I looked around, head whipping back and forth, searching for Caelan.I ducked just as a wolf lunged at me.Still in human form, I swiped my dagger at him; the sharp end of the blade dug into the side of his neck.Blood oozed ou

Thorne POVThings didn't go the way I plannedI had no intention to end this war with Caelan’s death, but somehow it did.Guilt gripped me as I thought about what I had done to go unscathed.I became a Caelan's traitor.It was something I had to do, something that needed to be done to get rid of Lyra.I balled my fingers into a tight fist.Lyra.That useless bitch ruined everything. How did she manage to survive the war despite all I had done?But now, there was something about her that I needed to explore.What she shifted into.That wasn't a werewolf. It was some kind of ethereal creature, one I have never seen before. And then the fire she summoned.That should have been an impossible feat.A werewolf that has the gift of element? It was unheard of.As strange as Lyra's creature looked, it didn't feel demonic, yet it was frightful. The power that she harnessed was immeasurable.When Lyra shifted, I watched from a distance. And when she chased Idris away, I knew it was over.Lyra po

Lyra POVMy feet slapped against the cold ground, breath ragged and limbs trembling as I ran.My heart thundered fiercely in my chest, the beat drumming loud against my ears.I could hear them, the rogues. Their growl tore through the forest in waves, but I never looked back. I didn’t want anything to slow me down.“A little further.” I whispered into the air, begging my tired limbs to push harder.Then I tripped.I fell to the floor in one swoop, the breath knocked out of me. I groaned, dragging my feet against the floor as pain seared through me.“Get up!” I whispered to myself. “They must not catch you.”It was hopeless at this point. The wolves had already surrounded me.“Please.” I begged. “I will leave and never come back. Just let me go.”There was no response to my plea.One of the rogues grabbed my arm fiercely and pulled me up so hard I felt as if my bones were going to dislocate.Suddenly, another one of the wolves that I recognized as the leader grabbed my throat.“Don't d
