Chapter 44

Lyra's POV

I turned my face away in disgust. I couldn't bear the thought of being with someone like him just because I wanted food.

Of course I would die, but it was more preferable to die, there was nothing for me to live for anyway and I would die with my dignity intact.

I wanted to laugh at myself, I had no dignity, I lost that when I had kept my mouth shut instead of telling Asher that I wasn't Devlin, that was when all forms of dignity evaporated from my body and I have been left with nothing.

Maybe that was why this guard looked at me and saw me as the perfect target. He had claimed that my body was better than the rest of the girls but I knew better than to believe him, he probably saw me as desperate and in need of validation because of my face and as such, he aimed at me and wanted to use me to soothe his pleasure.

He was wrong, I was different, I wasn't what he thought me to be, I was better than that, I wasn't some cheap whore and I was even more inclined to die than sleep
