Chapter Eighteen

LYRA

"Lyra?" Jaxon's voice echoed, before he trudged through the door. "You in there?"

I had just changed in to a cleaner top when Zynthéa, Jaxon and Evan strutted through the bedroom door, all looking incredibly concerned.

"Oh, thank God," Zynthéa sighed, before she attacked me in her embrace. "Dy told us what happened. Where is Alexander?"

"In his office," I explained, hesitantly, eyeing the trio. "What are you all doing here?"

Jaxon narrowed his eyes at me. "You weren't going to tell us, were you?" he said, accusingly. "I get it, it's a personal matter but we deserve to know if it's going to affect us."

I bit my lower lip, not sure what he expected for me to tell him. Frankly, I hardly had a clue on what the hell was happening. We were still waiting for Adam to confirm if Aspen was even related to Alexander, and we had yet to discover how Kai fit in to the whole picture.

"Let's forget about that for now," Evan interjected, giving his mate a pointed a look as if to tell him not to pry any further, before he turned back to me and offered me a smile. "As long as you are okay, Luna."

I nodded at the trio. "Thanks, guys. Let me get you all a drink," I offered, before I started walking out of the room, with the trio following closely behind.

"If the wolf is the mysterious brother, what will happen?" Jaxon asked, narrowing his eyes, as he stole glances at Zynthéa.

The girl in question shifted uncomfortably, her teeth tugging at her lower lip, as she dumped herself on the sofa once we had reached downstairs.

"Another brother," she scoffed, her voice low as if she hadn't meant to say those words out loud. When she noticed our eyes on her, she shrugged and chuckled humourlessly. "I don't have a problem with it, though. It would have been nicer if it was a sister, I won't lie."

I offered her a weak smile, knowing it was affecting her more than she let on. Zynthéa bottled her emotions and didn't really talk about how she really felt, it made me sad most of the times, but I didn't push her.

If she felt it was necessary to, she would share her piece of mind with us. So we never pried further. She already had a lot to deal with, with her own family.

Alexander was in his office talking to Adam and Dyami, through the mind-link, I suppose, because the pair of men were still at the training grounds and I couldn't hear Alexander.

As the Luna, it didn't feel right to leave it all to my mate, so I asked the trio if they could accompany me to the orphanage. At first, the three glanced at me as if I had asked a stupid question, and I couldn't even blame them.

"Dude, I really don't think that's the brightest idea," Jaxon commented, his brows pulled together.

"I don't think my brother will be too happy to know you've gone alone," Zynthéa chimed in, a worried look on her face.

"Guys," I intervened, groaning. "I just need to speak with him. Plus, that's why I'm asking you three to come with me."

"I'm down," Jaxon almost immediately agreed, making me narrow my eyes at his sudden peak in interest. "Gives me the opportunity to kick some ass if I get lucky."
