Randall’s POVBut for Lyra's expressionless face, I'd have left that store long ago. But seeing her act as if she wasn't bothered by Susan's antics made me stay put, wondering what she was up to. Being around Susan and pretending that we were all loved up drove me so insane that I nearly puked. It turned me off that I had to be so close to her, enduring her hugs and kisses on my arms and cheeks. But I kept up the appearance, hoping to make Lyra mad but she didn't seem bothered. If anything, she seemed like she was happy for us. My blood boiled as she continued to keep a straight face despite being drenched with water by Susan. I wanted to see her break, to see her complain about being treated wrongly. I wanted to see her stand up to Susan but she didn't. She just let Susan walk all over her, humiliating her at will. “PROTECT MATE!”My wolf continually urged me to intervene, to stop Susan from treating her harshly but I refused, watching as everything unfolded before my eyes. I w

Randall’s POVFor over a week, my study had become my main room since I barely stepped foot into my bedroom except to pick up a few things or freshen up. All those nights, sleep had eluded me despite my desperate attempts to find it. Each time I lay on my bed, Lyra's face wouldn't stop flashing in my head, reminding me of the look on her face that night when I killed her mother. My eyes were heavy… too heavy, and yet, I couldn't even bend down to have a nap without having disturbing dreams that woke me up almost immediately. It made me grumpier than ever, and unwilling to see anyone. Silence had grown to be my solace and my drinks, my companions. Yawning, I pulled out a document from my drawer and glanced at it, scanning through its contents just to see how my people fared, especially the wounded soldiers who were yet to fully recover. My door suddenly creaked open and Fiona stepped into the room. “Good day, Alpha,” she greeted, her voice a bit detached. The look on her face was

Lyra’s POV Every day was just another opportunity for Randall to rub it in my face that he chose Susan and not me. Everywhere they went, he did all that he could, going over and beyond to prove to me that I was nothing to him. Not that it surprised me anyway. They'd spend time in the garden, talking and laughing like lovebirds. In the midst of that, they made sure that I was assigned tasks in that vicinity, just so I'd witness it. I did, albeit with pent-up anger which I let simmer in my heart as I dutifully carried out my work. Thrice, I had attempted to get the map from my previous room. Thrice, I was repelled by the guards who threatened to speak to Randall after my third attempt. But I wasn't to be deterred. Not for long. ‘I’ll get my hands on that map before Elayne’s arrival,’ I vowed, but it led me to the next set of questions. Where was Elayne? Was she ever going to show up? It had been nearly a week since Fiona promised to send my message out and still, the

Randall’s POV“Ah…” Susan gasped as I lightly shoved her away as soon as we got to my room after a brief meeting with the Elders. Since Lyra wasn't present, there was no need for me to keep up with the pretence anymore. She chuckled as I distanced myself from her, shaking her head, her hands akimbo. Then she laughed, leaning onto the wall just beside the door as I shot her a sharp glare. “So it's about her, huh!” She asked, biting down on her lower lip. Her chest heaved with anger as tears slowly built up in her eyes but she held them in, refusing to let me see them. “You pretended to have kissed me in her presence and for what? To make her jealous?”The smile on her face was wiped away, replaced by a palpable anger threatening to be unleashed. “When you leaned in, I thought you were about to kiss me. I hoped that you were, but what did you do? You stopped right at the point where I expected it only to take your face away. Why? Are you disgusted by my presence? Are these lips not

Lyra’s POV“Have you seen my father in our pack recently?” I suddenly asked, as we studied the map, trying to figure out a safe route to follow, one that would keep us away from the lingering eyes of the guards. Elayne's lips became a hard, straight line and she shook her head immediately. “After he took your mother's body, he snuck into the pack and buried it in a jiffy with only a few people present. Then he left the pack again and till now, he hasn't shown up.”I frowned, now leaning on the wall with my hands crossed over my chest, struggling to understand my father and what he had going on in his mind. He was already in the pack and managed to take my mother's remains. Why didn't he just come for me? Could it be that he meant every word he said to me before he fled the battlefield?I would have given it deeper thought but right now, I had bigger things to worry about. I needed to stay focused in our search, just like the others. My father could wait. “Here!” Elayne pointed to
