Chapter 82

Lyra's POVKira gave me a pointed look. “He knows. I didn’t tell him, if that’s what you’re thinking. But he’s not stupid. He noticed something was off last night.”My stomach sank.Kate leaned back against the tree, arms crossed. “This is going to get complicated.”“It already is,” I muttered.They both went quiet, giving me space—but I could feel their eyes. Judging? Maybe. Or maybe just concerned.I hated this.The waiting. The silence. The feeling that no matter what I did, someone would get hurt.Before I could say anything else, a familiar engine sound rolled in through the trees.Keto.I stood up slowly, brushing dirt from my pants.Back to reality.Kira leaned closer to me with a small smile. “By the way… I was joking earlier.”I blinked at her. “What?”She shrugged. “Keto didn’t see anything last night. He was on watch the entire time. If he had noticed Orion sneaking into your tent, trust me, you’d know by now.”Kate raised an eyebrow. “Then maybe he suspected something. May

Chapter 83

Lyra's POV We came down from the vehicle and headed straight to the mansion. Keto went in first, and I went in behind him. As soon as I stepped into the living room, the cold air from the Air conditioner hit my face. And then I saw her, Ruth, the woman who I believed had brought misfortunes to Ravenna since she was born, and now I seem to have inherited her troubles. She sat in the living room like she owned the place. Her legs crossed, arms resting neatly on the armrest, a cup of tea balanced in her hand. Her gaze landed on me like a knife. She

Chapter 84

Lyra's POVShe leaned forward and set the glass on her knee. "I mean, not Ruth. Your actual mother."My throat closed up. "I was told she died when I was a baby."Kate nodded slowly, but her gaze never wavered from my own. "That's what you were told. Do you remember anything from being a kid? Anything prior to Ruth?"I opened my mouth, but I couldn't speak.I didn't know. I couldn't know. I was never Ravenna to start with.But I couldn't tell her that."I… don't remember," I said cautiously, hoping that would suffice.Kate leaned forward, intrigued. "You're saying that you don't remember your childhood?"I shook my head, reluctantly.She frowned. "Not even one thing? That's not normal, Ravenna."My heart pounded.She went on, "If I didn't know you, I'd say someone deleted your memories."Something like a knife prodded behind my eyes.A flash.A scream.A mirror.A name I didn't know was yelling in my head.And then it was gone.I wheezed for air.I tried to keep a neutral expression,

Chapter 85

Lyra's POV “I had a flash,” I told Kira, my voice shaky. “A piece of Ravenna’s memory. I think I know who killed her mother.” Kira leaned in. “Who?” “It was Ruth,” I whispered. “She killed her. I saw it clearly. Ravenna was just a little girl, hiding in a corner. Watching. She saw everything.” Kira stared at me, wide-eyed. “Are you sure?” I nodded slowly. “But… what I don’t understand is, why didn’t Ravenna do anything about it? She must’ve remembered. There’s no way she could forget something like that.” Kira stood abruptly and began to pace. “You can’t te

Chapter 86

Lyra's POV She didn’t say a word. But her eyes followed every step I took. Kira cleared her throat. “Pack healer. Alpha Ravenna,” she said to the table, her voice even. A few murmurs rippled through the room. Eyes shifted toward me. Some nods. Some stares. Some unreadable expressions. Orion’s gaze met mine. Just for a second. Then he looked back down at the file in front of him. Ruth broke the silence. “Oh. I didn’t know this meeting was open to the newly crowned.” Kira smiled politely. “Health mat

Chapter 87

Ruth's POVThey’ve all left the meeting. The room went quiet. Just how I like it.The meeting was a necessity, but it wasn't my main point of target. And as soon as it was over, my mind went scheming to the original reason I had come in the first place.I watched Orion from behind, tall, proud, stubborn. He didn’t even turn to acknowledge me. That’s fine. Men like him only listen when they think they’re in control.“Orion,” I said softly, like a mother trying to console her angry child. “I only need a moment of your time.”He still didn’t turn. But I could tell he was listening. They always do, in the end.“You’ve been through so much,” I continued, slowly making my way toward him. “You’ve carried this pack, buried your own brother, and yet here you are. Standing. Thinking. Always thinking.”I could tell he was tense.“Strength like yours isn’t common, Orion," I continued, "It’s not something everyone understands. Especially not children.”That word, children, I let it linger. He does

Chapter 88

Lyra's POVI wasn't trusting her smile. Not even for a moment.The same lady who had looked at me like dirt hours earlier was now softly brushing hair out of my face like I was her beloved daughter? No. Something was off. Her tone was honeyed, but her eyes rang hollow. There was calculation there, beneath the smile she was attempting to adopt as perfume.The elderly there were scarfing it down, though. One of them even nodded, as if we were finally putting the hatchet to rest. As if that was something I wanted.I didn't speak. I couldn't. If I'd so much as opened my mouth, I had no idea what would come out. A thank you? A threat? A wail?So I smiled. Tight. Controlled. Because if Ruth was going to be sweet, I could pretend to be too."Thanks," I finally said, my voice steady.She smiled broader, but the kind of smile that made me shiver.Her hand lingered a fraction too long before she withdrew it. "You've become something. powerful," she breathed, still loudly enough for the elders t

Chapter 89

Lyra's POV His eyes locked on mine like they had something to say, dark, intense, like they were cutting through my skin to what I didn’t even want to admit I felt. Orion just had this irresistible aura around him. He had a way of turning me on even without trying. He came at me, slow, steady. I took a step back, catching my breath. "Yeah, Orion, stop," I said, shaking, "I'm serious." But even that didn't sound real, coming from me. He didn't obey, though, until we collided, me shoving against him, my hands on his chest. But it was like pushing a mountain that cannot be shifted. Instead, his arm curved around mine, firm, heated fingers closing over my wrist as if I were something he wasn't letting go of again. "Orion," I panted, but I didn't step back. He drew me nearer, and I staggered into him. My body collided with his as if I belonged there. I stiffened. Couldn't breathe. Couldn't move. His chest was firm, warm. His breath tickled my lips. I felt it all, his heartbeat, th

Chapter 90

Lyra's POV I stepped out of the hall, still catching my breath. My legs felt like they didn’t belong to me, and my heart was thudding like I’d just finished a fight instead of whatever that was with Orion. The air on the other side of the hall was different, but it was not much assistance. Keto was nowhere to be seen. Thank the gods. I lacked the strength to lie, or to explain why I had the appearance of a naked man just crawling out of a battlefield. If he pressed too many questions, I did not know if I could pretend, particularly not with the guilt biting at my chest. I took the long way, ducking behind a pillar and then slipping quietly into the corridor going upstairs. But I reached the stairs and hesitated. Kate. She stood at the bottom of the stairs, arms folded as if she had been waiting there for a while. Her eyes caught mine. "There you are," she said, walking up to me. "Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you." I blinked. My mind struggled to co

Chapter 91

Orion's POV The water hit my skin in steady streams, hot enough to chase the chill from my bones, but not hot enough to burn away the thoughts circling in my head. Ravenna. She crept into my mind without permission, like always. It wasn't just the way she looked at me when she thought I wasn’t watching. Or the way she trembled under my touch like she wasn’t supposed to enjoy it. No, it was something more dangerous than that. My obsession for her had grown too silent… too strong. I hadn’t planned it. When Ruth handed her over like she was nothing but a bargaining chip, I took her because I saw potential. Power, even if raw and undisciplined. And yes, a little defiance, something to sharpen into strength. I didn’t expect her to become this. Not someone who gets under my skin. Not someone whose scent I could recognize in a storm. Not someone who could silence a room just by walking into it. She was supposed to be leverage. Now… she’s a liability. The water continued to rush o
