“I have tried to ask around to know what you did, but I can’t get anything. Like I said, they keep a low profile and I’m even lucky I got to see this. So, I am asking you, Lyric.” He stepped closer to her. “What the fuck did you do?”
I turned around to hold onto my car for support as my legs had become too weak to move. I was losing my mind.
And here I was, thinking it was over. Thinking I’d escaped it.
“Lyric!” Jace snapped. “These people only want you dead when you’ve done something terrible. Something unforgivable.
And believe me, they know how to hunt well. It won’t take long before they find you. Your life is in danger!”
“I know!” I whirled around to meet him. “But what do you want me to do, Jace? I’m scared!”
“Well, you can start by telling me what you did to
I shook my head, my fear heightening. “I-I can’t.”
“Damn it, Lyric! Say something.”
I felt cold liquid against my cheeks. Tears.
I me the truth.”
It was a secret I’d been harbouring for years. Jace was my best friend, but I didn’t want to tell anyone what I’d done, I was so afraid.
“They won’t find me,” I sniffled, dabbing my face. “They’re after the old me. They won’t know it is me.”
“Are you kidding?” He huffed, making me look stupid. “They’re already in Flodiria. Who knows how long it’d take before they get you. You might have gotten rid of your scar, Lyric, but people like your family still know it’s you. What happens when The Executioners run into someone that knows you and discover who you
He was right. Shit, of course he was right.
“S-So, what do I do, Jace?” A tremor ran through my voice.
Jace gave me an angry stare. “You really won’t tell me what you did, right?” are?”
I lowered my gaze. I wanted to confide in someone, but I was so scared of the truth growing wider,
“Fine. You have to run.” Jace said with finality.
“What?”
“It’s the only option, Lyric. You have to go into hiding. They obviously know you’re a wolf. So, they’re looking at all the wolf packs. It’d be better if you go far away to a human country where they can’t find you. You need to leave, Lyric. Right now.”
“No.” I shook my head, my heart clenching painfully. “I cannot leave, Jace. Not now.”
Not when I still had a lot to do. Xylon was still very sick. Leaving now would be like abandoning him.
Jace held my shoulders, shaking me. “This is the only way, Lyric! Or would you rather stay back and get yourself killed? Would that be better?”
I shook my head.
No. I didn’t want to die.
“I’ll help you, Lyric.” Jace’s voice softened. “I know of a nice place you could hide. I’ll take you there.”
Tears streaked my cheeks as I thought of how ruined my life was about to become. I was about to lose everything.
JARIS
“Feel free to tell me about it. Everything, Jaris, Hivia said, her voice alone sounding soothing
Few days ago, if someone had told me I’d be seeking out fivia for help, I’d have punched them in the nose.
She was a popular psychological doctor People came to her when they were passing through things they could not understand.
Being over sixty years old, Nivia was very experienced and well respected in our world. People say she had answers to every psychological problem.
I stood facing the window, my hand in my trouser pocket as i told her my problem.
“For more than fifteen years, I have not been able to cum.” Except that one time, five years ago. But I didn’t mention that. “1 am hardly even aroused or interested in a woman. But a week ago, I saw someone naked. And that very night, I came to the image of it.” I shook my head. “I have not been able to get it off my mind. Worse, I keep cumming to that very image.”
I did not have any fear of sharing this with Nivia. She was well known for keeping things confidential. What was said in her room remains in her room.
“Are we talking about a man or a woman?” She asked from where she was seated behind me.
“A woman,”
“I see.” I saw her bob through the reflection in the window.
“Tell me, Alpha, how exactly do you feel when you see this woman?”
Her question took me by surprise. I realized that I had never actually thought of it.
“I don’t know,” I shrugged. “She’s beautiful. A lot of men are attracted to her. And…each time I see her with them, it gets on my nerves.”
“So, you like her?”
“I don’t,” I snapped,
She betrayed me. I couldn’t care for someone like her.
Nivia gave me a long stare. I caught her staring through the glass.
“What did she do to upset you, Alpha?” She wore a small smile. “It is obvious you are trying to deny your feelings because she hurt you.”
I turned to her, letting her see the seriousness in my eyes as I said my next words. “I feel nothing for that woman. Honestly, all I want is to get rid of that image because I hate that they have such an effect on me.”
She sighed as she looked down at her book where she scribbled something.
“Well, there is only one explanation for this. If this woman has this hold over you, it’s only because she’s your fated mate.”
My countenance dropped. The words hit me, making me silent for a moment.
“That is not possible. I already have a fated mate.”
Greta. That was my mate’s name.
We’d already met eight years ago. But unfortunately, she went missing. Or maybe, ran away. She was terrified when she learned we were mates. She had always been afraid of I and my family. Although, mother had been doing all she could to find her so she could take her rightful place as my Luna.
It wasn’t possible to have two fated mates. I thought they said Nivia was the best?
“Only a fated mate can do something like this, Alpha,” she insisted. “Your wolf likes her. It welcomes her. That can only happen when it’s your fated mate.”
I never should’ve come to Nivia, because all she did was make things more complicated for me.
“It’s not possible to have two fated mates.” I grabbed my jacket from the arm of the chair I’d been sitting on. “I’m afraid you were not helpful.”
LYRIC
As soon as I reached Darkspire, I started packing up my bags. The plant was to leave at midnight when no one would see me.
Jace and I already agreed to meet up at the outskirts of Darkspire.
