All Chapters of Betrayed By The Enemy Alpha : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Lyra’s POVI navigated through the courtyard, evading several swings of swords that nearly had my head chopped off and the heavy fallen bodies dropping each passing minute. My mind was a bloody mess, my heart caught in my throat as I looked out for my father who was nowhere to be found. But deep down inside me, I had the strangest feeling, like something bad was going to happen or had already happened but I couldn't place my hand on it, so I paced faster with my legs. The more I walked into the courtyard, the more rapidly my heart throbbed. It threatened to fall out of my chest but I couldn't tell why, especially since I wasn't really scared about my life at the time. All I wanted was to find my father, to get through to him and try to convince him to stop. Perhaps, if he saw me, he'd call off the men and take me with him, I thought. That is the reason why he came here anyway, isn't it?But each warrior I met on the way was too busy fighting with an enemy to even notice me. I sou

Lyra’s POVA scream tore through my throat as I witnessed my mother's body go limp as Randall's sword drove through her right before my eyes. My father had stepped away to handle a few nightshade pack warriors when my mother's scream filled the air. Silence hovered around the air, followed by Randall's heavy breathing and the sliding of steel as he instinctively pulled the sword back, letting my mother's blood ooze from it onto the floor. I was so close to getting to them first, having begun to run towards them immediately after my father left the place. The guards followed me behind but I was too quick for them and the place Randall and my mother were wasn't far enough to make me lose steam as I ran. I dashed across to her as quickly as I could, but it was too late. She had bled so much and could barely even speak. I heard her voice one more time knowing it was all my fault. If I hadn't eloped with Randall, none of these would have happened to me. My legs also grew shaky until t

Lyra’s POVLying on the cold floors of the dungeon, I stared at the tiny windows as rays of light from the full Moon seeped into the building.It was calm and quiet, the sound of a few crickets humming as they flew past, the only sound that could be heard in the vicinity. Indeed, it felt like I was the only one in the entire dungeon. None of the prisoners who used to beg to be freed seemed to be anywhere close. Perhaps, they had been released. Maybe Randall had killed them all. He seemed to have a desperate need to take life these days so it wasn't beyond him to do so. My mind replayed the scene where my mother was killed by the father of my unborn child and it brought tears to my eyes. I gritted my teeth, resentment swirling in my heart as anger brimmed inside. I yearned for just one chance to teach him a lesson that he'd never forget and right there, I almost wished that my father brought him the pain that he felt because he totally deserved it. All the time, he kept talking abo

Randall’s POVFor several nights, sleep had eluded me no matter how hard I tried to find it. I had sought Fiona's help, making her give me some sleeping drugs and yet, sleep remained out of my reach.Each time I shut my eyes to sleep, it was her who I saw, staring at me in the face, causing my heart to bleed with guilt. I couldn't quite understand why I couldn't shake her image off my mind, why it lingered there like a bad stain, snuffing all joy away from my mind.But the more I thought about all that had happened, the more I didn't think I deserved that much torture. My wolf seemed to think differently, but to me, I had done nothing wrong. I didn't attack Lyra's pack. I was merely celebrating my victory when they chose to disrupt our event. I hoped that things could be settled amicably. No one needed to die. Except for Max, perhaps. But they had different plans. They attacked my people and slew them before my eyes. What was I supposed to do? Watch them destroy everyone in the pac

Lyra’s POV“Are you sure about this? Especially at this moment,” Fiona asked, placing the medicine at the head of the bed to fully focus on me. I nodded frantically, nearly forcing my head off my neck. “I'm sure. I should have done this a long time ago but now, I have no choice but to leave this place.”Although we were alone, I turned to the door and stayed silent, listening for any sound outside that door. I could never trust the maids and the guards in the pack, except for May. The rest of them seemed to have been bound by a spell cast by Susan. “What more is left for me here?” I continued, seeing that the place remained silent in my silence. “This is too much for me to bear. I can't take it anymore.”She sighed, draping her hand over my shoulder. “I understand. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes right now and neither would anyone,” she said. “I thought you'd get the chance to tell Randall about your child, to give him a chance at being a father but it seems he wasn't eager to t
