Chapter 15 (Another Dead End)
Lyra's POV
I fought the urge to let my wolf take over and forced myself to take a deep breath.
"If you don't leave now, I'll have security throw you out," the receptionist threatened, her tone sharp.
I swallowed, feeling my anger rise. "I beg your pardon," I retorted, trying to keep my voice steady.
"Maybe we started on the wrong foot," I continued, attempting to calm the situation. "I'm here because I need a job, and I noticed you're hiring."
The receptionist raised an eyebrow, still chewing her gum. "So, you're poor?" she remarked, her words laced with disbelief.
"I'm not you, honey," I responded, making her visibly annoyed.
"What?" she sputtered.
"Also, I'm not a fake or whatever you think. I just want to be doing something," I added, trying to maintain my composure.
"Nobody asked," she muttered, blowing a bubble with her gum.
"I give free answers to fools," I replied calmly, refusing to be provoked.

We lay on those beach beds."Quick question though, can't I work for the beach?" I asked George, who chuckled."Girl, you're obsessed with finding a job," he responded before his phone rang."Hello," he spoke, and I could hear a woman's voice from the other end."Excuse me," he

Lyra's POV "We agreed to meet his family the next weekend, and he made it clear there were certain things I should avoid mentioning to them. I understood, but at some point, it all felt excessive."So, you want me to tell them my parents are living in another country?" I asked incredulously."Yes, and that they're quite wealthy, but you've chosen to come here to start your own business," he replied."George, isn't that a bit much?" I questioned."No, trust me, my mother expects nothing less. Let's just get it over with," he insisted."Okay," I consented.I couldn't comprehend why I had to fabricate details for my future mother-in-law, but my love for George outweighed any reservations.Two days later, Sean informed me that his mother had called and I could resume work at the port.I relayed the news to George, who reluctantly agreed.

I pleaded, refusing to loosen my grip on her hand."I'm a werewolf, he doesn't grasp the complications of my biology. Running in our wolf form speeds up the healing process," she explained, her voice strained with pain."But you can't shift here. Should we head to the cottage?" I suggested, seeking a solution.She nodded weakly in agreement. Without hesitation, I snatched my keys and the one to the cottage, scooping her fragile form into m

Upon his return, he couldn't resist the urge to peek into my drawing book.“Wow, this is incredible. How did you conjure such looks?” His eyes widened in amazement, and I couldn't help but chuckle.“I suppose I just surrendered to the flow of my emotions,” I replied.“It's like a tapestry of a mystical forest, brimming with life and grace, yet veiled in a mystery. The darker hues lend it a touch of melancholy,” he observed, and I nodded, a smile playing on my lips.“What stirred such inspiration within you?” His curiosity persisted.“As I mentioned, I simply allow my emotions to guide my hand,” I explained with a smile.He drew closer, setting the book down gently as he took my hands in his. “Lyra, are you sad?” His question caught me off guard.“Well, if happiness is elusive, then honesty is the next best thin
