Romans & histoires Lyla Garrity

JJ shows Daniel into my mother’s sitting room. “Hi Mr Fields, please call me Lily.” I narrow my eyes at JJ who blushes. I should really take what I can get, at least Lillian is not, Miss Blackwood. I shake Daniel’s outreached hand. “I wouldn’t be comfortable with Lily; may I call you Miss Blackwood?” he asks politely “No, you may not” his eyebrows shoot up in surprise, “Okay. Lily.” I smile. “This is Lucas Craven.” “Mr Craven is fine.” I narrow my eyes and roll my eyes at Luke. Men! JJ starts to leave.

Garret said quietly, as if speaking too loudly would worsen the situation. “Lost contact?” I repeated, my voice rising. “How does one lose contact with a man sent to do a straightforward task? What exactly did you instruct him to do?” Garret shifted uncomfortably under my glare. “When he reported that Lyra lives alone with a maid, I told him to go in, grab the baby, and come out fast. That’s it.”

Elara sat at her desk attempting to finish an assignment while the notifications continued arriving. Eventually curiosity won. She opened the gallery. The first few photographs were exactly what she expected. Committee members smiling awkwardly.Teachers pretending to enjoy themselves.Various sponsor representatives looking confused. Nothing interesting. She scrolled quickly. Then closed the gallery. Unfortunately, the rest of the school seemed significantly more interested than her. Later that evening, Lily sat curled up on her bed with her phone in her hand. She had already looked through the photographs once. Then twice. Then a third time. Mostly because she enjoyed seeing the gala prepara

“He’ll think he cut the rot off my side.” Tyler’s jaw clenched. “But he cut into his own.” Lyra turned away from the trees and walked back toward the records room. Not because she needed paper. Because she needed the place where truth lived quietly. She lit a candle and unrolled her hide strip. She drew a single line through Kellen’s name. Then she circled two more. One was a facilitator who would panic now that a node had been removed. The other was a loyalist who would overcompensate to prove the network still held.

She simply nodded, the nod of someone who had given what they had to give and understood that the rest was not hers to do. "There's a woman," Priya said, after a moment. "Elena Garza — she's older, she consults for some of the regional packs on historical law. If you wanted to understand the formal structure. What the old arrangements actually said versus what they were used to mean." She looked at the far wall. "She's careful. She wouldn't talk without trust." Lily thought about Elena Garza, whose hands an old woman had gripped in a dim room, who had sat across from Lily at a kitchen table in the early morning and asked questions with the patience of someone who had all the time in the worl

"Let's talk." Lyla stood there, her figure framed by the dim light filtering through the curtains. The room was quiet, the air thick with unspoken words. I watched her, her nervous fidgeting a stark contrast to her usual confidence. Her hands absent-mindedly traced the hem of her shirt, playing with the loose thread she often complained about. Her gaze flitted around the room, avoiding mine like it held an accusation she wasn't ready to face.

Gabe frowned. "What do you mean?" Gabe asked, confused. “Lyla is just an ordinary human. Like Malia and other students at this University." said Archie. "She's not a vampire like you, nor a werewolf like us." Leona patted Malia's shoulder while pointing her index finger at the figure of Lyla who was still busy gathering with her friends in front of the University gate. "Malia! Take a good look at the girl with brown beret near the entrance to the University!" She ordered firmly.

Standing to the side, Lady Herodias smiled and said, “Along the way, based on the strength and momentum, it seems to have surpassed Yaquis Holiness’ new alliance and Xachary’s and Gladwin’s Righteous Alliance. Lyla is indeed a rare commander.” James smiled and said, “She is rare. I have just returned, but she has already lost her temper.” Upon hearing that, Xitlaly jumped in. “Did Lyla give up on her position?” “It seems that you have known about it long ago.” James looked at Xitlaly. Helplessly, Xitlaly sighed and said, “James, you handed her a group of living beings who are hard to control. She has already reached her limit to control them until now.”

I couldn't read his eyes or tell what he was thinking as his eyes fixated on me. Sara began throwing a fuss as she tried to help me up. "Mrs. Lyla was weak, and I've been trying to get her to go see a nurse but she refused. When she tried standing up, that was when she fell and I tried to hold her up." Sara began explaining herself, but I could see her lower lips trembling. I could tell that she was as scared as she was enamoured by this man in front of us. "Right? Mrs. Lyla?" Her eyes came back to me, and I could see the plea and desperation in her voice.
