All Chapters of My Ex's Brother: Forbidden desires : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

LYRA'S POVI blink, trying to peel my eyes off Zade. Away from the man that has made my heart break at every second despite how much I try to forget. Forget how good he used to make me feel up till the moment he cheated on me.I shift my gaze to Jillian and say, " I need to see Kymon—please."But, Zade speaks next. " It's been quite a while since I've seen you. No hugs or kisses?"" Not now Zade." Jillian chides, rolling his eyes but Zade just keeps smirking at me which makes my guts twists.Seconds later, he avarts his gaze to his uncle and says, " Why don't you head back in, I'll handle matters here? You've had quite a rough day."Jillian says nothing. He looks at me, his gaze switching expressions from confusion to anger to warmth to something calculating. He hums a response and disappears into the house.As far as I've known, Jillian is the closest to Kymon and Zade. He treats them better than their father ever did. I've heard rumors from the workers at the mansion that Kymon used

LYRA'S POVKymon doesn't look a bit surprised. He just hums, shakes his head, rests his elbows on the armrest, and stares up at the ceiling so I can only see his Adam's apple staring back at me." No matter how much I try to avoid you." He says, sighs, and looks at me perfunctory. " You never seem to go away."I swallow the words about to spill out from my mouth like venom and reply softly to him instead, " It's not like I'm left with a choice."He sits straight, rubs his palms on the side of his robe — it seems like a habit— bends over, and fills a golden cup with wine. Red wine." You do have a choice." " I wouldn't be here if not for you."" Still your fault." He is sipping his wine, staring at me with oblivion. Acting like he didn't send Lyriq to capture Cas. Like he didn't blame another wolf for his misdoings.I want to jump on him and claw that oblivion right out of his eyes. I inhale and stare at the ground whilst twisting my fingers around each other " You sent Omega Lyriq t

KYMON'S POV"How many sacks of grains and starch are left in storage?" I ask Figi, my accountability Omega.His eyes skim through the scroll he's holding for a moment before looking up at me. "Ninety-seven sacks of grains and sixty sacks of starch."I nod toward Keeper, and he writes it down. "And how much is enough to sustain us until the next harvest?"Silence, then—"The next harvest is in a week, so considering the entire population, roughly eighty-one sacks of grains and forty-seven sacks of starch."Once again, I nod toward Keeper before turning to another Omega."Distribute fifty sacks of grains and twenty sacks of starch to the market. Ensure taxes are paid accordingly, and make sure there's no increase in price while selling to the people. Anyone who dares will be placed in front of the market and stoned to death," I instruct, and he nods. "Take three sacks each to the orphanage and two each to the women in the kitchen. Ask them to prepare something and distribute it to the pe

LYRA'S POVLyriq returns with a blue wool T-shirt and a matching skirt. He hands me the clothes and avoids my gaze when he says, " I didn't see any medical kit, so you'd have to do a walk with the bruise."I shake my head, grateful and carefully collect the clothes from him. He turns around which surprises me. " Thank you." I mouth and he hums.Lyriq is one person I would never expect to help me. I actually thought he was going to murder me after he killed Henry or he'd probably even enjoyed the sight of me being assaulted, but it's eerie how he saved— no— stopped Henry.I change into the new clothes and watch as his body tenses at every second I take while putting it on." You can turn around now," I say and he turn slightly as if to check if I'm lying or not before he fully turns to look at me.His eyes hang on my face for a brief second before he scowls, walks to Henry's dead body, and easily drags out the knife from his neck. He takes my rags from me and uses them to wipe away t

LYRA'S POVI don't break eye contact with him, even though I'm cowering inwardly. I have no idea what he must have done to find evidence that it was Cas who killed Bryn.I had hoped the wolves would stand up to Kymon and put an end to his cruel rule, but no one did. Everyone is silent, and I feel like I've already failed."Why don't you say something, Reyes?" He smirks, and I want to break every one of his teeth. "Yes or no?""I won't let you kill him," I say, my voice trembling with restrained fury. I abruptly turn to the crowd, anger and tears flowing freely. "Why don't you say something? Why are you all staying silent?! Say something, for the Moon Goddess's sake!""Downright pathetic, my dear," Kymon's cynical voice cuts through my chest like a blade as tears rush down my cheeks.I refuse to look at him because I know I won't be able to hold on to my sanity if I do."Maybe I'd be willing to let your lover go." He cranes his neck, studying me with a calculating gaze. "But the questi
