Asher's POVIt was the morning after the whole ordeal, I had passed the night with Devlin. My sleep had been quite poor and my night couldn't get any worse.I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Lyra, all of this had happened because of her.I don't even know how she got into it with Kaden that made my stepmother extremely angry but I did know that I couldn't allow her to get her way with Lyra or any other person.My stepmother, Bertha, was a cruel and bitter woman, she got off from wreaking havoc and allowing people to suffer. That wickedness in her had been there since she was a child, it was brought into this world with her and they would die together as one.I didn't understand why anybody would derive pleasure from doing the bullshit that she had planned to do, she was very protective of Kaden and it was quite irrational, when I had won the competition and became the alpha, Bertha was the least happy about it and she didn't even think to hide it from the public or from my fa

Lyra's POVI 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

Lyra's POVI looked behind me at the door that just opened up. There were three women standing there. They didn't look happy or even particularly stylish, at the very least they looked only slightly better than me. They were slim women that had rough looking hairs on their head. Each if their heads were bowed down, their eyes pinned on the floor board. As they opened the door, the women fell to their feet and bowed with their forehead touching the ground.I was perplexed, I knew an alpha was supposed to be respected and admired by his members and his slaves but I had never seen any aloha being greeted the way they had greeted him. Like he was some kind of a god they were supposed to worship. At the very least, he looked like a god, no matter the aura he gave off or how scary he looked or how psychotic he seemed from forcing me to eat the ear of a guard, he was still very undeniably handsome and his eyes were surely something to write about in the history books. It was a fact that th

Lyra's POVOur cells were right beside each other's, I could see him, he was sitting onbthe ground, frowning, probably wishing that he hadn't come with his mates. But it wasn't really his choice to make, being a part a pack like silver moon pack, it was sure as hell that your ability to make a choice woukd be stripped away from you. Though it wss much better than being in the blood river pack, it was till horrible.He heard his name, from his expression, I coukd tell that he wasnt expecting that anyone here would know his name, he wasnt expecting on meeting anyone he was familiar with. It wasnt such a good thing to pray for. It wasnt good for himself, neither the person he was praying to meet, but however, as kife woukd have it, he was thrown into a cell next to mine.He looked at me warily like he was scared, like I go through the bars of the cell to harm him, but then I remembered that there was a guard behind me, applying salve to my injuries and was about to bandage it up. It coul

Lyra's POVIt was quite unexpected. There were a number of things I was shocked by and the first was that the blue eyed man was called Tristan and this woman with long beautiful legs actually was attracted to him. She had even given him a big kiss to signify the depth of her affection for him and his response was also something I never saw coming.Like he was made of wood, like he had no such attraction to her, he pushed her away off of his body like she was a disgusting creature and it really got to me because she looked to be a very beautiful woman who Tristan could not afford to lose. With kegs like that and skin glowing like that, it was unquestionable that she would be beautiful and her voice also carries a warmth and a melody in them. But it seemed like Tristan was immune to her charms, it made me really angry. This woman could get any man she wanted and it just so happened that Tristan was the man she wanted but he was busy behaving like he was the catch here when he was only a
