All Chapters of Banished a Curse or Blessing : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lyric Adams pov Hearing Willow's light snoring, I soon joined her in a healing sleep. Unfortunately, my body was healing, but my trauma was untouched, and when I awoke the following morning, I was in a detached mood. “How are you? Did your wolf heal you, um, downstairs?” Willow asked, and I nodded. “Yeah, I just feel a little sore, but it's manageable,” I said softly. “Let's go to the kitchen and start our day,” she sighed. After dressing in jeans and a tee, I followed her to the packhouse kitchen. I saw my old Alpha's red-eyed guard, and he instantly focused on me as I entered the area. Lowering my eyes, I tried to hide from the huge Lycan guard, but he started to stride straight to me. “Miss Adams, let me see your brand,” he ordered. Reluctantly, I turned my wrist and peeked at him to see his eyes widen. Without saying anything, he grabbed my arm and then turned abruptly. He dragged me off, leaving me to question what he was doing. “Where are you taking me?!”

Lyric Adams pov I lay down with nervous, giddy excitement about my upcoming travel, yet a little saddened by having to leave Willow and Rita. Actually, I was feeling saddened about Camden too, but my thoughts about my dead brother and that bitch Jasmine destroyed the attraction I could have had. “Is this the right decision,” I asked my wolf. Ojani hummed a bit then asked me if I had another choice. “You don't want to serve beside Gregory and have refused Camden so what else can you do?” Frowning I rolled over and growled sourly that I had no choice and closed my eyes, hoping for a rest. Later that night, I was shaken awake by Willow grinning smugly at me, so I gave her a furrowed curious brow. “Victor and I have decided to join you. We asked Rita and Ramsey but they declined,” she whispered as I sat up in surprise. “I don't want either of you to get into trouble,” I muttered softly and she pffted at me. “We are giving you our allegiance and expect to be a part of you

Lyric Adams pov I fell asleep in the back seat as Victor drove through the forest. Hearing unusual sounds, I opened my sleepy eyes and gasped at the sight of old buildings. Sitting up in a flash, I asked Victor where we were and saw the pair eyeing each other. Glancing at me with a sheepish look, Willow informed me that we arrived in Sweetwater. “Um, why are we here and not at the Alpha Fredrick's pack?” I asked curiously, and Willow looked at Victor. “I want to be free,” Victor asserted. “Great! So you take me along with your desertion?! Take me to Alpha Fredrick at once, I wish to learn how to become a strong Luna, then take the Crescent Moon pack,” I growled, then grew furious hearing them both laughing. I reached for the door handle to open it but realized it wouldn't open. “Child locks!” Willow chuckled, and I glared daggers at her. “What are you going to do with me?” Patting Victor's cheek, Willow grinned smugly before giving me her attention. “We are goi

Lyric Adams pov Salem and I had driven for miles down the mountains. The elevation change made my ears pop, and I was glad when he pulled into a roadside gas station. Getting off the back of the motorcycle to stretch, I watched Salem put on a pair of dark sunglasses to hide his red eyes. “The bathroom is inside toward the right if you need to go. I have to go inside to prepay for gas,” he mumbled roughly. “Um, Salem, where are you taking me?” I asked curiously, and he gave me a crooked smile. “To meet our dad,” he asserted. “Wait what?! I thought my father was killed by Gregory?” I gasped while he shook his head. “Lyric, he wasn't your real dad. He was your stepfather, and I'm your half-brother,” he stated firmly, leaving me gawking at him in disbelief. “Who is my real father then?” I inquired as I chased after him. Salem stopped before entering, turned, then patted my shoulder and told me we would discuss it after we got to his home. “Yours or his?” He chuckled

Alpha Camden Sinclair's pov I had just finished my shower to clean myself after leaving Jasmine's room when Lev, my Beta, came rushing into my bedroom. “Ramsey called and told me that he found Victor and Willow. Victor told him that Lyric left a couple of days ago with the red-eyed Lycan guard Salem on his motorcycle, and he doesn't know where they went,” he rushed out. My jaw clenched as I recalled the handsome, dark-haired man, and I growled bitterly. “Why didn't he go after them?” I asked angrily, and my Beta shook his head and answered, “Willow advised him against it.” “Guess I will propose marriage to Jasmine,” I muttered sourly and made Lev gasp. “Why on earth would you do that, Camden? You don't love her, and she's not your mate!” “Don't you feel like I should settle down? Plus, Jasmine pleases me enough and has been with me for years. She's never run away from me either,” I asserted roughly, but Ragnar was having a raging fit inside my head. Shrugging and shaking his
