Asher's POV.Lyra's attempt to save her pack from Tristan's vengeance failed as expected. Though she was really unloved by her pack and her mother, she still very much wanted to save them.It was a stupid attempt, to be honest, did she possibly think that a few words from her was going to change Tristan's mind?Tristan had watched his parents being murdered. He watched how his life came to an end there and that was when the hatred he had for the silver moon pack came into birth. Feom childhood, he had planned to rid the world kf anybody that was a part of that pack. He was going for them, he was going to kill all of them.He didnt care for the ones kike Lyra who was hated. He had said he was going to treat Lyra the same way h would treat otber members of the silver moon pack.It was scary, I truthfully pitied Lyra because se really had a hard life. She was hated by her own pack and her mom did not care about her, and now she had found herself here, she had to pay for a crime thag she
Lyra's POV.No matter what I was preaching to Tristan, he wasn't listening to me. He seemed to have gone crazy with the way he was pointing the sword at me.His hands were shaking and I coukd see in his yes that his head was not in the right place. I didnt blame him though, the hatred he had for the siver moon oack was driving him crazy. He had all right to hate then if they really were the one who killed his family. And I was a part of that pack, he obviously wouldn't listen to me even when I wasn't preaching to save myself.I was scared, I waa terrified of Tristan, he was pointing his sword at me and my heart as racing. Tristan was unpredictable in the state that he was in and his rationality was far gone.I feared, I could feel my head starting to get light. My eyes were becoming bery lazy. I couldn't hear what Asher was telling Tristan anymore, it was as if I was being pulled away from reality.And suddenly everything went dark.My eyes opened again and I was lying down on the bed
Lyra's POVI was shocked to hear that Devlin was here from Peter. It could've been that she came in when I passed out but it didn't make any sense to me because if she was here, why then did Asher want me to stay back in his room?I stared at the food that Peter was eating, it looked really good but I had to control myself against it. It was from Devlin and I didn't want anything to do with her.I felt guilty about everything, I had hurt Devlin from sleeping with Asher and for everything else, but that didn't mean I would stop hating her for being such a bad person to me either. If Devlin had been a good person all along then I knew I wouldn't be able to live with myself for causing her so much pain, but Devlin, thankfully, was not a good person. She hated me, she waa against me and she didn't even bother to hide it. There was no way I could possibly immediately start to like her because of my guilt."Yeah, it was shocking to me too. It seems like there's a reunion of some sort" Peter
Asher's POVAfter Lyra walked out, I stayed rooted to the room. I couldn't stop thinking about her words. She had been right, a part of me was disgusted by her and I couldn't stop imagining who's the baby belonged to. She had been with Tristan for quite some time and probably he would've given her out to his other guests the same way he gave her to me.And there was a possibility that those men must've had their way with her. I hated the thought of her being touched by another man, even when Tristan had said those words about her being good in bed, I hated it. It irked me and I almost got angry.It was the truth though and that was why I was so angry about it because how woukd he know. He had said it was because she had the best body but even a fool could tell that he must've heard it somewhere or experienced it first hand.There's no doubt about it, Tristan had given Lyra away to multiple men and one of them could be the father of her child.Though I had arrived to that conclusion, b
Asher's POVDevlin was too stubborn, even after I had told her the reason why I wanted her gone, she only shrugged and continued browsing through the room, probably searching for something."Devlin, what are you really doing here?" I asked her.I was too frustrated and unfortunately, my voice was showing just how frustrated I was. And Devlin knew me to an extent and I guessed she had heard the frustration in my tone but she preferred to say nothing."You're being suspicious, Asher". She offhandedly said.I stilled, "what do you mean?"She suddenly turned around, "I don't know, we got married but it felt like I had been living with a stranger. You were so caught up in Lyra's case that you forgot that I was standing there and suddenly, I got news that you're here with your old friend. Okay, you wanted some time away from your responsibilities and probably your obsession with Lyra's case and so I decided to join you, that maybe we woukd reignite the fire between us but I only met a man,
Lyra's POVI was ashamed of my self. Philip looked to be a very good person and he was very good looking too. It was rare for men who were good looking t be also caring, for example Tristan and Asher. They were proof enough that good looking me were just the spawn of the devil.But Philip was different, he was worried about me, cared about my opinion and wasn't forcing it down my throat to be marries to him. He looked to be the type of man that would always take my opinions into consideration.However, I had ruined every chance I had with him before k even knew there was going tk be a chance. I had slept with Asher and now I was pregnant with his child.I wished there waa a way to turn back the hands of time, I woukd have nevrr met Asher, I would've never being in that room with him, I would've refused him when he had tried to touxh me. If i could go vack in time to get rid of everything, of Asher maybe then I woukd be worthy of Philip.Maybe then, I coukd go with him, I would keave A
Lyra's POV I was very shocked, also very worried about what Peter had told me about Devlin. I didn't know how Devlin found out i was pregnant. What was even a bigger mystery was what she needed it for. There was no proof whatsoever that the baby belonged to Asher and if by chance she came to find out, she would surely kill me. I sat down there, I knew it was late but I was too terrified. I couldn't sleep and I was scared for this child. It was better to keep the father of the child a secret from both Asher and Devlin. I still wondered how Devlin found out about it. I wondered who told her. It could be that nurse but that nurse had nothing to do with me, there was no proof however about my identity so it couldn't be that it was the nurse. I was running, I was running too fast. I suddenly in a very dark forest, I didn't know where I was going to, where I was running to or from but I knew i was running and within me there was this fear in my heart. I was avoiding something, i was avoi
Lyra's POV I had been expecting a good number of responses from Philip and not the one he actually gave me. He was too perfect and he was willing to marry me despite what I had just told him. My heart warmed up, I didn't deserve him, I didn't deserve this care and devotion. He shouldn't be treating me like this, it only made me feel very guilty. "Philip '' I couldn't even find the words to say. I couldn't think of anything to say. "I will take care of you, Lyra. Let's get married now so people will think the baby is mine" he suggested. My eyes widened, "Philip?" "I want to get married to you and i'm very happy that you told me the truth. You're such an amazing person, Lyra and from this confession I am certain i made the right choice. Let's get married here". I couldn't help it, tears flowed down my eyes, I never thought that a day would come that I would get this lucky. I had always thought my future wasn't something to look forward to. Many occasions I wanted to kill myself, t
