SAGE. "She's healing" Mum states snapping me out of my train of thoughts. I drew my stare away from Lyra moving them to my mother who has concern and as much worry as I am in her eyes. She offered a hand, "Walk with me" she ushers. I was a bit skeptical and Mum had noticed that. It's been a week since Lyra's attack and I've been a bit too overprotective on who walks in and out of the room. Mum smiled, "Don't worry, this house is guarded by top-notch pack members and securities you have nothing to worry about" she stated trying to sound convincing. Kato growled as much protective as I am. I nod letting out a breath and walking out with her. We walked out to the garden taking slow steps in a comfortable silence which I wished would go on as right now I want anything but to talk. "Lyra is going to be okay. She has healing abilities as you can see she must have not mastered them yet, that's why it's taking a little bit too long but she's going to be okay" She adds up
LYRA. I winced in pain as my eyes split open feeling my body all sore and numb. The room is extremely seen that I can barely see clearly as I roam my stare around trying to figure out where exactly I am yet to no avail. I bit on my lower lip feeling a sharp pain in my leg, struggling to sit up with thirst burning in my throat. 'Finally, you're awake' Nyx growled. My brows furrowed to as what she meant before memories of what had happened occurred to me making my eyes widen both in fear and in pain. The image of how the rogue had his burning stare on me sent shivers down my spine. But then who saved me? I can clearly remember a wolf standing in for me before I fell unconscious and where the hell am I? I looked around wanting to familiarize myself with the environment but I wasn't picking up anything. "Lyra" I hear Sage's mum call out from the opposite end walking towards me with concern and a wide smile. She sat next to me pulling me in for a hug, "I'm so
LYRA. I tried to run, but my feet felt heavy as if rooted to the spot. The rogue's eyes gleamed with a feral intensity, their teeth bared in a snarl. I raised my hands, palms facing them, and summoned a weak burst of energy to defend myself. But he was too strong, too fast. He knocked my hands aside and pinned me against the wall, his claws digging into my shoulders. I struggled, kicking and squirming, but he was too strong. A fist slammed into my stomach, and I gasped for air. Another blow struck my head, and everything went blurry. I felt myself falling, but they caught me, holding me up with a cruel grip. I tried to fight back, but my body betrayed me. My limbs felt like lead, and my vision spun. A sharp pain seared through my side, and I knew I was in trouble. My wolf, Nyx growled weakly as I bit on my lower lip. “You bastard. I’d never be able to submit to you. You are not my mate, I refuse to accept you” I say in pain feigning confidence. Blake is a rogue who has
SAGE“Alpha” My brows furrowed urging him to proceed with what had to say, “Yeah?” “Your mother is downstairs waiting” he announced fighting back a smirk I sent him a glare that had him bursting into a fit of laughter as he walked away. Jason isn’t only just a Beta to me but my best friend, we grew up together and were childhood best friends, making him my Beta is one of the best decisions I have made. I walked down the stairs to the dining room, my footsteps echoing through the hallway. I walked to the dining room and was surprised to come into view with not only my mother but my siblings as well. My three brothers, Axel, Clause, and Damien, sat with their eyes fixed on me, their expressions serious. My two sisters, Angela and Sierra, looked up at me with a mix of curiosity and concern. My mother, the matriarch of our family, sat at the head of the table, her eyes narrowed as she watched me approach. To what exactly do I owe this visit? I held a stern look, my jaw c
LYRA “Now you listen to me young lady, you have said enough. Just cause you're relocating elsewhere doesn’t mean you’re not under our mercy, one wrong move you make and I swear to you, you’ll rot in hell as your parents are” she spat walking away. She stopped halfway, “Get ready, he’ll be here any moment, you better not mess this up for us” She smirked before walking away. I drew to the ground letting the tears stream. I didn’t know who I was married off to all I knew was his name and status which didn’t matter to me. I have always hoped that my escape from my uncle’s grip is when I find a mate that loves and appreciates me for who I am, someone that I’d spend the rest of my already miserable life with but I guess all that now wasn’t going to happen. I mustered the remaining sanity left in me packing up and proceeding to zip up my bags when a knock came through. Lily came into view with a look of piety one that she knows I hate. Lilly is one of the workers in the house,
SAGE“This is the contract you both go through it before signing and remember I’m doing this for your interest. But you must know that you try and make things work. The man can not call it quiet but rather the woman. Sage, I’m being very precise because I know how obstinate you tend to be but you know better than to defy me” she states in a warning tone narrowing her stare at me to which I shrugged.She clears her throat. “Lyra my dear you should understand that you have a say in your life, you get to decide what you want to do with you at least for as long as you are married to my son. If you too agree to stay together, Sage you have to mark her as your Luna within a year meaning Lyra you have a year to decide whether or not you want this relationship and if you don’t which we all would understand even though I know you are the best my son could have,” she smiled directing it towards my suppose mate.Kato was already getting infuriated by the situation the fact that an Alpha is being
LYRAI stared at the outfit I was gifted by my mother-in-law. It’s a navy blue dress hugging each curve like a second skin. The dress made my waist look quite skinny urging me to move uncomfortably. It made me feel self-conscious, don’t get me wrong the dress is very beautiful but just not to my taste, I mean I don’t wear exposing outfits.But I knew better than to protest.I said adjusting the bun I made my hair into hoping that today goes by smoothly and Sage doesn’t get on my nerves as much as he’s trying to do for the past week.He just can’t get or should I say accept the fact that I am not afraid of him, he can’t use his power or dominance against me if you look at it, you can tell that he is under my mercy since I have the right to cut things off or not, and as much as I want to do that, it can’t happen.I mean I still haven’t figured a way out of the reach of not just the Mickelson’s but my uncle.A knock on my door has me snapping out of my train of thought “Yes, come in” I
LYRA “Wow, your coffee tastes pretty good” Claus states with a smile dangling on his lips. I had followed him out for a morning jog not just to exercise my muscles but also from being trapped in the house for three days. Being Married has never felt so worse, most pack members didn’t seem to like me much which I don’t give a fuck about it, but my plan of getting myself out of here still stands. Unlike Sage Clause is a bit more welcoming and friendly not that I trust me or something but at least my jog with him today has made us exchange a few things about each other. “Thanks” I stated gulping my coffee. “Why don’t you take this to Sage, I am pretty sure he needs as much” Clause suggests. My brows furrowed at his statement, “Meaning?” I couldn’t help but ask. He shrugs, “Just that he doesn’t get much rest these days, always on the edge and running between handling the company and being an Alpha” He explains. I nod, “Yeah but that’s why you are there to help” I state
