Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mated to Three Handsome Nightmares: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Lyra's POVThere was something about Keto's kisses. Something comforting. Familiar. Like falling into a memory I didn’t know I needed.Keto was everything Jacob was not, and Jacob was the opposite of Orion as well. Keto is dependable, you always know he's thinking of you, always know he's got your back, and won't leave you. That was peace, that was security, but I'd become accustomed to war, been traumatized so much by toxic men that I adore poison, and I just can't help myself.But when we were kissing, everything in me wished it was Keto. My fantasy man, but it was too late. Some other guy had already screwed around with my head. And he screwed it so severely I didn't desire anything but him.Keto's fingers moved slowly at first, tracing across my arms, skimming along the edges of my waist as he intensified the kiss.His fingers hovered at the waistband of my clothes, fingers running underneath. I sensed him fighting with the edge, ready to rip it away."No," I panted, pulling away.

Lyra's POV“You believe that?” I asked, my voice soft but demanding.“I don’t know,” Keto said. “You asked me to be honest. You still want that?”“Yes,” I said. “I want your opinion. Not Ruth’s.”He sighed, eyes fixed on the road ahead.“I’ve known Orion longer than anyone,” he began. “Loyalty has always meant everything to him. The pack comes first. Always has. Always will. And when he gives his word, he keeps it.”I nodded slowly, but my chest felt heavier by the second.But, he went on, and the one word burned me like a slap of cold, "Orion isn't invincible. He's weaker than ever. The other pack leaders, the elders, they're all converging on him like wolves, and he's weakening. He's already weak, Ravenna. He's treading a thin line. When the time comes, when it's you or the pack."He let the sentence dangle.I already knew what he had to say.My lip puckered into a shaving-thin smile, my fingers wrapped over the edge of the seat. I kept my eyes fixed straight ahead, my lids not open

   Lyra's POV He let out a deep breath as if he were attempting to release the tension in his heart. "Ravenna didn't shatter my heart," he replied tersely. But Kate was not going to let it go; she was going to say something more when Kira called out behind us, "Are you guys going without me?" "Of course not," Kate replied, turning to her. I half turned because I heard her say my name. "Ravenna," she murmured, her voice low but gentle, "how are you feeling now?" I could only nod a little, even though I still felt disturbed within. "I'm fine." She looked at me f

Lyra's POVI pulled my hand back, stumbling a step away. “Wait, are you insane? Witches? You’re taking me across enemy territory like I’m just, what, some piece of luggage?”"That's why I asked you to drink that," he said, "So they won't be able to tell if we're werewolves.""Why?" I demanded. "Why me? Why Kate? Why Keto? Why not go alone?""Because people are beginning to look up to you the way they look up to me, and you have to grasp that in order to be a leader, you have to learn how to put your life on the line."I laughed in disbelief, "Alpha 101?" I asked.I couldn't help but think he was taking me to a place of no return simply to learn how to be an alpha. No, there has to be more to it."It's not negotiable, Ravenna," he said with his stern tone, "We're already here."I planted my feet firmly on the ground, crossing my arms. "I'm not crossing that river just to get killed."He didn't flinch.Orion just nodded once, like I’d said something trivial, something he’d already consi

Ruth's POVI stood there like a statue, watching the car disappear down the long, dusty road.Orion didn’t even look back or stop.He left me on the side of the road like I was nothing. And drove off with Ravenna like I was an obstacle to their love life.I clenched my fists in anger, nails digging into my palm. The humiliation burned hot in my chest. He dared to do that in front of her? My own stepdaughter?I have never been humiliated like this before, the man that tried it didn't live beyond 7 days. And that was many years ago, when I killed Ravenna's father for humiliating me because of Ravenna.And now, Orion had just entered my death list.Although I had always wanted to kill Orion.But he wasn't a top priority 'wanted dead' in my head. Never! With this kind of rage that burned in my throat after he told me to leave his car.I always wanted to kill Ravenna, too; she had always been in the way. But now?Now they both had to die.Same level of determination. Same level of hate.I
