Lyra's POVI had gone to the Tyrex island for another day of training. Ferdinand had prepared a surprise for me. He had placed two hungry bears in the Arena. "You started by controlling a spider, then small animals, then weak humans. Today you would be controlling those two wild bears at once. This task would be difficult because bears are wild animals with strong will. You will need to be totally focussed to control them." He said." Wait, you expect me to go in there on my own?" I asked." That is the point. Now get in. And good luck. Try not to die!" Ferdinand said casually.I hesitated as I stepped into the training room, my heart pounded in my chest. The sound of my breath echoed in my ears as I focused on the task ahead. I closed my eyes, inhaling deeply, and then exhaled slowly. I could feel the familiar electric tingle of anticipation running through me. The room was a spacious, windowless chamber with padded walls and floors, designed to withstand the most intense of traini
Lyra's POVBruce looked into my eyes as he opened his mouth wide. His mouth started glowing white as I felt my energy quickly leaving my body and entering his body through his mouth.Just when I thought it was over, a voice shattered the tense silence. "What's going on here?" The distraction offered me a fleeting opportunity. Drawing upon every ounce of energy within me, I sent my palm forward, unleashing an invisible force which sent Bruce hurtling away.Turning in the direction of the voice, I saw Ferdinand and my mother standing in the doorway, relief flooding through me. Immediately, I watched my mum transforming into her Tyrex form, and launched herself towards Bruce.That was when I saw fear in Bruce's eyes. Within a matter of seconds, my mum had delivered several bruises to Bruce's body. When she was satisfied, she stopped. It was the fastest trash down I had seen in my life. Bruce laid there with several injuries on his body and wings."You will never lay a finger on my daught
"Hello there," the man at the front chimed, his grin stretching unnaturally wide. "I'm Pete, Lyra's friend."Sensing something amiss, Gina turned and called out to Mr. Jones. Sensing her unease, Mr. Jones set aside the newspaper and approached the door. "How can I help you gentlemen?" he inquired, eyeing them warily.The man named Pete repeated his introduction, insisting that they were there to see if Lyra was home. Mr. Jones furrowed his brow. "If you all are her friends, how is it that I've never seen or heard of any of you before?" he questioned, his tone sharp.The men faltered slightly, attempting to force yet another unnatural smile, "We are her friends from school, and we are here to check if she is home." Their teeths remained open to maintain the stupid smile.Their statements sounded good to them, but Mr. Jones remained unconvinced. He glanced at Gina, silently exchanging a knowing look. Gina was attending the same school as Lyra, and if she didn't recognize these men from
Pete and his men sat in their van, parked a few meters away from Lyra's house, eagerly awaiting their target. As they peered through the windows, gazing at the street outside, laughter and chatter filled the air."Man, I can't wait to see Lyra," Pete exclaimed, his eyes twinkling. "She's gonna come out any minute now.""I heard she's stunning," one of the men added."Yeah, like a goddess," another chimed in.As they eagerly awaited her appearance, the men jostled for position, each trying to catch a glimpse of Lyra as she returned home and stepped into their house. It Looked like she was returning from a journey. One of them even had a pair of binoculars at the ready, and they passed it around excitedly." Woah! Look at that ass aahhhh," one of the men commented, not letting the binoculars go."Let me see, let me see! I wanna check her out too!" one of the men exclaimed, reaching for the binoculars."Hey, watch it! You're gonna break it," another warned.But it was too late. In the co
Standing under the abandoned bridge, I carefully examined the intricate designs on the box containing the stone that Norman had left moments ago. My mind was filled with curiosity and a hint of trepidation.Turning around, my heart skipped a beat when I saw Adam standing not too far away, a stern expression etched on his face. "Adam, what are you doing here?" I asked, trying to mask the unease in my voice."I could ask you the same thing, Lyra," Adam replied, his eyes fixed on the box in my hands. "What do you plan to do with that stone?""Why do you care?" I retorted, my grip on the box tightening. "This doesn't concern you.""Actually, it concerns all of us," Adam said, taking a step closer. "You don't understand the power that stone holds. It's dangerous, Lyra. You need to hand it over.""No, I won't," I asserted, my jaw set. "You have no right to tell me what to do."Adam sighed. "I'm sorry, Lyra." He reached into his small black bag and pulled out a small canister, flinging it at
I stepped out of the swirling portal, feeling the solid ground beneath my feet once more. The rush of wind died down, and I found myself standing on the mysterious island of the Tyrex wolves. As I glanced around, my eyes fell upon a lush garden with vibrant flowers and winding paths and I sensed that my mum was there. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the distant sound of waves crashing against the shore reached my ears. It was a beautiful, serene place which I'd always loved to walk slowly, admiring. But that day, I knew I couldn't afford to slow down due to the excitement within me.Clutching the resurrection stone tightly in my hand, I hurried through the garden, my heart pounding with anticipation. I needed to find my mum to show her what I had brought back. As I rounded a corner, I spotted my mother and Mr. Ferdinand engaged in an animated conversation."Mom! Mom!" I called out, unable to contain my excitement. My voice rang out through the garden,
There was silence, then suddenly, Big Lee burst into laughter, and the rest of the gang followed suit. After a moment, Lee asked, "Is she your girlfriend?"Adam nodded, "Yes, she is.""Do you know she's a PureBlood?" Lee inquired further.Adam gulped, "Yes, I do.""If you knew that, why would you choose her as your mate, knowing that any wolf who knew of her existence would come for her?" Lee questioned, a sly grin crossing his face.Adam hesitated before answering, "I love her."The room fell into a momentary silence as Lee regarded Adam with a mixture of amusement and curiosity. Then, he leaned back in his chair and chuckled, "Love. Such a human concept. But love won't protect her from those who seek her."Adam's mind raced as he tried to come up with a response. "I'll do anything to protect her. I'll help you find her, but please, keep her safe."Big Lee's expression turned serious, "We'll see about that. Take him away for now."As the guards unstrapped Adam from the chair and led
As they approached the weathered vessel, Norman's shoulders slumped. "This boat doesn't exactly scream 'reliability'," he remarked with a frown.The man shrugged and said, "It may not look like much, but she'll get you where you need to go."Norman hesitated, eyeing the makeshift repairs and worn-out equipment. "I don't know..." he trailed off, unconvinced by the boat's appearance."It's safe, I promise. I've been crossing these waters for years without any problems," the man reassured Norman, sensing his apprehension.After a moment of contemplation, Norman reluctantly agreed, "Alright, let's do this." He transferred the agreed amount to the man's account and boarded the boat, feeling uneasy about the upcoming journey.Meanwhile, Norman's men arrived at the docks, ready to assist him. "Boss, what's the plan?" one of them asked as they gathered around him."We're heading to a remote island to retrieve the stone," Norman replied, keeping an eye on the boat in the distance. "I've paid f
