All Chapters of His Forbidden Omega: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

  Lyra's pov That night I walked faster than usual, head turning at the faintest sound. I was on edge every time I thought of Alpha Kael. He was on to me. His eyes were coated with suspicion and doubt fluctuating throughout the night. By the time I reached my rented apartment, I collapsed on the floor like a train wreck, a silent sob was further cushioned behind my palms as I covered my face. Kenny and Marigold must be asleep, I couldn't wake them. SuddenlyI heard soft padded steps approaching me, quickly I wiped my tears off with the back of my hand. “Marigold, you're awake?” I said almost cheerfully, burying any residue of sadness before my eyes met hers. “I am ma'am,” she responded, wrapping her shawl over my shoulders, “tired?” &ldq

  Lyra's pov My heart dropped to my stomach. Why…why was he interfering?! Did he think he was helping right now? He was an Alpha, of course she'd back away for now, then she would store all her fury up waiting for the first moment he was out of sight to unleash it all on me. “M-m-my apologies, Alpha Kael!” Madam Beatrice stuttered out in fear.  To think that this was really the woman who paraded herself around as if she was some sort of pseudo Luna, at least within the walls of Clawfire could be humbled so quickly. I guess life is really different when you are at the top of the food chain and not the bottom. “It seems like you're confused,” he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice, then he gestured towards me with his toned arms. “You did nothing

Lyra's POVHalf of my confidence dissolved into nothingness as soon as I wrapped my legs around the pole.It was one thing to dance in front of a room of nameless strangers who were drunk out of their mind and thinking with their lower parts.But then it was another thing altogether to dance in front of a man whose gaze alone sent chills down my spine for various reasons.I braced myself, taking a deep breath.The more nervous I acted around him, the more reason he would have to be suspicious of me.So as much as I could, I pretended that he wasn't there, gyrating around the pole, moving my body as fluidly as water. Often I would catch him holding his breath.He was so perfectly still, someone might have confused him for a statue. And since the lighting in this room was also very dim as it was in the rest of the bar, I thought that he had even fallen asleep at one point.I slowed my movements to glance at him only to look lower and realize that he was anything but asleep right now. Hi

Lyra's POV“Have you gone deaf Beatrice? I told you that she just lost consciousness. What's hard to understand about that?”My world, which had been swallowed instantly by darkness after Alpha Corvin pushed me, was pierced by his troubled voice snapping at my other tormentor.As my vision slowly returned to me, I still didn't see them anywhere but I could hear their voices which meant they were probably right outside the door in the hallway that connected back to the main bar.Madam Beatrice responded to his earlier comment defensively.“First Alpha Kael, now you…why are all of you interested in that worthless wench I–”I heard a smacking slap sound and reflexively flinched, because usually I was on the receiving side of physical abuse in Clawfire.“Finally, you shut up now, would you listen to me?”I raised my head up and there was something wet and sticky to it with a metallic smell, I checked and noticed that it was blood.My blood.In panic I started running my fingers over my ha

Chapter 20Lyra's povSomeone was following me.I've had this bugging feeling for days, itching across my scalp and causing all the hairs on the back of my neck to stand in alert.As I made a turn deeper into the alley, that person got even closer.Who knows there might be more than one of them…if I'm surrounded what do I do next? Perhaps, Lunaris is no longer as well coming from me as it used to be in the past. Well, it was never welcoming but I made do.I slowly increased my pace over time. I wondered if I could just tell Alpha Corvin that I needed to close earlier. He seemed pretty spooked by me ever since I woke up in that storage room when he expected me to be dead.Even Beatrice was worried that I was still breathing, not in the insured kind of way at least, not towards me but for herself. It was like she was working with a living corpse and didn't know what to quite make of it.For the past couple of days she would lean close to make conversation asking me how I was, if I misse
