Chapter 12 Lyra’s POV Morning came by quicker than I expected. At some point last night, I honestly thought I was going to fall asleep, but I guess fate had other plans for me. Groggily, I got out of my spot in bed. Since I'd been rooted with my knees drawn to my chest all night, I wasn't surprised by the loud crack filled my room the moment I got on my feet. I think at this point, it was safe to say that I wasn't able to get a wink of sleep, all because of Xavier Blackwater.I hated that his name did things to me, things Xander’s name never did ever since we got married. What was supposed to be a one night stand was slowly eating into the rest of my reality, and the worst part, the part of it that craved it, was gently spreading through out my system. The moment I thought about him, my mind went back to the letter from yesterday. I'd tucked it underneath my pillow before falling asleep, and even though I had no expectations whatsoever, the last thing I thought would happen, wa

Chapter 14Lyra’s POV When I'd decided to stop listening in on Xander's conversation and plan to march into Blackwater, I did so because I already had enough, enough of listening to a grown man, that was more than ready to lead an entire pack to war, just because of a mere mistress. While Xander's obsession with Emily was concerning, I couldn't help but think that I needed to act fast, and that's what I told myself, even as I walked back to my room. What I didn't expect, was for my little journey to be cut short, and by someone who appeared to be visibly angry too. I barely had time to brace myself before the sharp grip on my arm yanked me back into the present.“You!” the girl hissed again, her voice a blade laced with fury. She has her lips turned upside down in a frown, and believe he when I said it wasn't pretty. “Where the hell do you think you're going?”I blinked at her, while I forced my brain into working overtime, just so I could figure out if I knew her or not. Sh

Chapter 16Lyra’s POV I couldn't sleep, no matter how hard I tried. It felt like all of the nerves in my body were at alert, and all at once too. They refused to quiet down, like they were patiently waiting for something to happen, and I wouldn't say I blamed them, because in a way, they weren't too far off from the truth. The palace was never truly silent, not even before dawn. There was always a whisper of movement somewhere, the clatter of armor, the soft murmur of servants preparing for the day, and even the distant howl of a wolf greeting the moon’s departure. But this morning, it felt like everything in the walls of the palace, and beyond had completely still. Something was dying to break free, I could feel it, but for the life of me, I couldn't tell if it was going to be positive or not. A chill ran down my spine after that. Deep down, I knew the answer, but right now, I was simply hoping for the best. A small knock on my door was all it took to pull me out of my little

Chapter 18Xavier's POV Two days. Two whole gods damned days had passed, and still nothing. Nothing had come from her. A small part of me had hoped that she would have written back by now. Not hope, the word didn't fully express how much I wanted her to write back. I honestly believed I would get a letter the day after I'd sent mine. But on the other hand, Lyra wasn't like other women. She was a force to be reckoned with, and if I was being honest, a small part of me would have been disappointed had she written back immediately. Had she done that, all it would prove to me was the fact that I'd probably been wrong about her and the fire she possessed. But right now, I was more than glad, and a bit anxious too.A low chuckle bubbled at the base of my throat. Here I was, frustrated, and yet, the thought of it all made me chuckle, like a fucking school boy waiting for candy. You couldn't blame me, that was the kind of hold Lyra had on me now. And worse case scenario, she had no idea.

Chapter 20 Lyra’s POV I had no idea silence had teeth, sharp and pointy ones until this very moment. It bit down on me the moment Xavier left, and believe me when I said it wasn't exactly a pleasant experience. Time seemed to slow down to a still, but even at that, I didn't miss the way his cloak cast a dark shadow as it trailed behind him. Apparently, what brought me back to the present, was the almost loud thud from the door, as it clicked shut. I let out a breath I had no idea I was holding, and only then did I finally let my body sag back against the pillows. The pillows and sheets were softer than anything I’d ever felt, yet I couldn’t relax, no matter how hard I tried. The easiest description was the fact that my entire body was strung tight, like a bow ready to snap.What the hell had I gotten myself into?I could swear that when I left Redmoon early this morning, I had a clear and cut out plan of what I was going to do when I got here, but now, I was inside Xavier's for
