Chapter 41

LUCEINMy eyes fluttered open and I noticed I was caged between Cassien and Lyra. Cassien's warm breath fluttering against my sensitive neck calmed my nerves down.I couldn't remember how we made it upstairs to Cassien's but I was sure no one saw us. Ralph had helped us by training the soldiers and today… today was the day we would be travelling to the north for the battle with the rogues. The thought of leaving Lyra alone in the pack gnawed at me but there was nothing we could do. Rowan had our words and we were known to never go back on our words. I pushed myself up from the bed when I heard a knock on the door. With a groan, I moved over to the door and pulled it open. Ralph. “You guys were wild,” He smirked. “You should probably get a…”“I don't need one. I won't say this again,” He threatened.“Okay,okay,” I replied and moved aside so he could walk in.He crunched his nose as he walked in. “I should probably get going. Your room smells like sex. How many times did you guys do

LUCEIN I, Ralph and Cassien was already in a car together. The battalion of soldiers followed us closely in their respective cars. Ralph was the driver as usual while I and Cassien were seated at the back of the car, warming up sexually for the battle.“I don't want to see as much as a stain on my seat. It won't be well at all,” he warned and I snickered. “We're already in the north, we should be more alert,” I hummed, taking cassien's lips in and he shook his head. “You're always horny,” he grumbled.“And you're starved,” I fired back. He pulled the car to a stop and rolled his eyes at me. “We've arrived. You don't your soldiers to see the both of you having sex right,” he mocked and I stood up, adjusting my clothes before getting done from the car. Cars lined up before me. The open field greeted us. I leaned into Ralph. “Where are we to stay?”“Someone would think I'm the alpha,” he scoffed. “Here's the camp for the rogues, we would camp around here and attack them at night whe

LUCEIN “I'm dying,” He replied, his face going as pale as it could get and then he collapsed into my hands. “Victoria,” Cassien muttered and I nodded, already moving him into our car when a gun shot rang through the air. “Down,” I shouted and we all dunked below but the bullet had struck a soldier and he was already on the floor, dead. “Damn rogues,” Cassien cursed and helped Ralph into the car. He turned to look at me. “How are we going to do this?” He asked. “We don't have guns,” he replied and I sighed. “We have to go close enough to one of them and get a gun,” I said and he nodded. He gestured to the soldiers to remain on the ground till he say so. Using his sword as a mirror, he could determine the place where they were stationed. “They are five in numbers. There are also three archers at the top of the mountain with arrows I believe are laced with dark magic,” Cassien explained and I sighed. “So…” “Stay here, I would be back,” he said and I made to protest but he sealed

RALPH “We should get going,” I heard Lucien say and turned towards him. “Where's Cassien?” I asked. “He's with Victoria, you know…” he gestured with his hands.“And you aren't jealous anymore. Good growth,” I teased. “No, I'm not. Not when I've seen that the person Vicky wants isn't Cassien but you,” he said and I choked on air making him chuckle.“You know,” he continued. “Maybe taking Victoria as a mate isn't a bad idea. We saw what she did for you and how much she loves you,” he added.“She's a prophetess and that's what she does. For everyone,” I emphasized. “No dumbass. Don't tell me you're as daft as you are dumb,” he facepalmed and I chuckled. I would have missed this. “She definitely likes you, no scratch that. She loves you. She became sick immediately you woke up, why? Because the power she used in trying to take away your pain overpowered her. She almost cried when she thought she couldn't help. That's what someone would do when she loves you,” He said. “You're making

Chapter 45

LYRA It's been weeks since the soldiers returned from battle. Cassien, Lucien and Ralph was no where to be seen. I had asked around and they told me Ralph was dead. That struck me. Dead? The Ralph I knew was powerful and strong so how did he die? That still remained a mystery and only Cassien and Lucien could clear it up. But even then, they were nowhere to be found. Rowan didn't care, it even seemed like he was happy over the outcome. His brothers and their troublesome beta was gone while they had helped him eliminate the threat - the rogues in his pack while still training his soldiers for him. He kileld three birds with a stone. Mira visited often, even when I told her to take the reins of her relationship with Thorne. She said the relationship was going smoothly even if they were yet to be intimate. They were just friends from what I saw and what I heard from her. I hoped her heart desires come true one of these days even when mine didn't . If Rowan wasn't in my room, she was

Chapter 46

LYRA I and Mira returned to my room, I was a blushing mess because of what Lucien had whispered when he walked past me. “Get rid of your handmaid, we would be there soon. I've missed your warmth,” He had said. I missed them too, so badly, they might not even believe, thinking I'm probably bluffing. “Ehm, Mira…” I turned to her as we walked in. She smiled knowingly.“What is it Lyra?” She still asked and fell back on my bed taking a satisfied sigh. “You should probably go to Thorne now and work on your relationship,” I suggested, fidgeting in between the sentences. It have been long since I became intimate with my mates, scratch that. It's been a long time since I've seen them and maybe I was getting all shy again.“You saw that Thorne was with Rowan, there's no way I'm going to meet him while he's with Rowan,” she said and I sighed. “Lyra, why do you want me gone?” She teased. “It's been less than an hour since your mates returned and you're already throwing me out?” She clutched
