All Chapters of Mated to Three Handsome Nightmares: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Lyra's POVThe boat came to a slow stop as it brushed against the edge of the bank. I led the way, stepping off the bar smoothly onto the muddy shore. My legs still trembled a bit with the rush of the chase. I returned to help the others disembark.Kate addressed Orion. "I'll stay behind with Keto and take care of the soldiers getting settled in. We still owe them more than thanks."Orion nodded, lightly brushing her shoulder with appreciation. "See you later. Watch yourself."A man I hadn't noticed entered stood up at that moment.He was a tall man, with a scar just underneath his left eyebrow, having an aura of overconfidence. "Name's Zack; I came here with Keto. You're lucky we got here when we did," he said, giving Orion a handshake.Orion gripped the hand. "I tell you, I am very grateful; you saved someone dear to me."Zack barely gave me a glance and offered a faint nod in return. I kind of nodded back, unsure what to say.Orion almost without hesitation walked in the directio

Lyra's POVGently, I stirred from sleep at the faint sound of a page turning. I allowed my eyes to flutter open and view Kira seated beside me on the bed, legs crossed, a thick book lying on her lap.She looked serene and engrossed. "You're up," she said, shooting me a slight smile.I stretched, yawning softly. "Yeah, how long have I been out?""Six hours," she said. "It's a hot afternoon now.""Seriously?" I sat up and ran my hand through my hair. "How long did you sleep?""Two hours. I couldn't really stay still for long. My mind kept wandering." She tilted the book a bit, keeping her place with her thumb."Have Kate and Keto made it back yet?"Kira nodded. "About an hour ago. I think they're asleep by now. Orion said we're going to have a meeting later on this evening."I heaved a sigh, leaning back against the headboard. "Right. The meeting."There was a short pause between the two of us until I turned to her again. "So, do you have any idea how we will save Kate's brother?"Kira

Lyra's POVWe stayed in Kate’s room while she finished eating, sprawled across her bed and talked about nothing in particular, waiting for her to finish her mountain of food. Her appetite was impressive."I don't know how you do it," Kira said, watching Kate tear into the last piece of chicken like her life depended on it. "You eat like you've been starved for a week.""I was almost eaten by a three-headed snake. I deserve this," Kate replied through a mouthful.I chuckled. "Fair argument."Kira leaned back against the headboard, tapping her fingers against her cup. “You know,” she started, grinning like she was about to confess a deep, dark secret, “there was a time Keto and I tried to hunt wild boar, after you guys left. We thought we were being clever, tracking prints, moving low through the brush, whispering like spies.”Kate’s brows rose. “Did you catch it?”Kira snorted. “Catch it? That thing chased us up a tree. And stayed there. We were stranded for hours.”I burst out laughin

Lyra's POV He looked at me, his tone softer. "It’s archaic. Old laws. South packs still practice them. He’s using that loophole to try and force a union." Kira leaned forward. "You’re saying if he wins, Ravenna becomes his?" Orion’s jaw clenched. "If he wins, yes. But he won’t." I looked at him. "You don’t sound worried." "I’m not," he said. "But I don’t trust him to play fair either. That’s why I’ll be in training every day until the fight. Rigorous. You may not see much of me." The room went quiet again. Keto looked up. "Where will the f

 Lyra's POV We rode in silence for another hour. Somewhere along the line, Kira turned on the radio, letting the soft hum of music bleed into the silence. It was some slow, haunting melody with otherworldly vocals. It suited the moment. Do you really think we'll be able to stop Ladon?"Kate gulped. The simple mention of the name flipped my stomach. "We have to," I said. Kira turned to look at me in the mirror. "We'll find the artifacts. And when we do, we perform the ritual. Harness the monster, then destroy it." "Assuming that we're not di
