A Tale Of Revenge And Redemption

24

LYRA’S P.O.V.

Tears rolled down my eyes at the thought of what Ragnar had done. I knew he didn’t like me ever since he found out we were destined to be together, of course I was swayed by the mate bond that someday Ragnar will love me as much as I love him but using my child against me was something I never imagined will happen and I needed to get out of here before he gets to Zayn

I tore a large piece of my dressed and heard a mouth whistling then I realized I wasn’t alone after all but the person wasn’t close either, I ignored it and wrapped the cloth around my hand and began punching and pulling on the cell door

“You’re going to break your little hand if you keep doing that. How about we come to a deal, huh?” a shadow stepped into the light and I immediately recognized him from the last time I was locked up

The same man Elara let into my cage but I held no emotion on my face as I looked at him

“Aren’t you meant to be in a cell?”

“I have my keys and I know your little sweet arse want to get out of here as soon as possible, the alpha really doesn't like you and might keep you in here forever and away from Zayn”

“What the hell do you want?!” I growled at him

It was no new news knowing that he knew about the twin and Ragnar but I wasn’t going to start a problem when I didn’t know what he was up to

“You. I’ve always had an eye on you Lyra, I knew your parents, and how they died because of your stupidity, when and how you were born. I don’t know what manner of curse you put over me since you were born but my obsession knows no bounds, why do you think I was locked in here in the first place? Ragnar hates you but he won’t let anyone else have you” I was hit with a bile filled of disgust in my throat as I looked at him

Ragnar hate you but he won’t let anyone else have you

His voice echoed in my head as I looked at him. He had a little mark that crossed his eyes and he was older than Ragnar without a doubt but he wasn’t old enough to be my father

“I…”

“Don’t make a hasty decision sweetheart. If I break you out you should know that you belong to me from now on and I will kill anyone that dares to come close to you”

“I don’t even know you”

“You’ll find out soon enough, bye bye my love” he took a step back and just like that he disappeared into the shadows and I was taken aback by it completely

Fear stroke my heart, it was either I broke out of this unbreakable cell or I follow him forever

“Does my loyalty to you include my children’s safety? And Zeph coming to me safe and sound along with his brother?” I spoke to air literally

I felt no presence around me but a part of me felt like the bastard was lurking around but I needed to stay quiet and low before he returns, I don’t know many psychopath who gets obsessed with someone when they are born but I didn’t like the sound of it either

“Your kids will be safe” I heard his voice behind me but I didn’t turn to know what he was doing there

“Ok”

“Ok?”

“Yes ok, I’ll be with you as long as my children are safe”

“Remember Lyra there’s no turning back after this. Get out of here and take Zeph with you, he is in your old room and Ragnar is in a meeting stay away from Elara, I’ll meet you in your house in the human world” he toss the keys to the lock and just like that he left again and I heard the door slowly opening and closing

He was gone for good

I had signed a contract with the devil but right now I need to get Zeph out of here while I can. I unlocked the key and immediately went towards the door but I paused when I heard two familiar voices behind the door

“Lyra trusted you with her whereabouts and you told Ragnar about it? How could you?” I removed my hand from the door knob as I tried to listen in

“Let’s face it George, one way or the other we needed to get Lyra back to the pack, I know I broke her trust but only Ragnar can pull her back to the pack…”

“By kidnapping her? Leaving her child out there in the human world for heaven knows who, I trusted you Georgia, Lyra trusted you and you put everyone in danger for your selfish reason to keep Elara out of the pack!” my heart pounded so intensely that I could hear it in my ear

Georgia had told Ragnar about my whereabouts even after knowing everything I have been through? It wasn’t a coincidence that I saw her in Mave and Katy’s house, it was her plan the entire time and i fell into it because I trusted her

I stopped the sob from escaping my mouth as I tried to breathe but a twist on the door knob made me step back immediately. Both of them walked in while I hide in the dark corner and as soon as they took a turn I walked out and locked them inside

Anger flared its way through my body but I didn’t care about that. It was the last time I was going to truth anyone ever again, even if I had signed a contract with the devil he was mine to deal with but Ragnar and Georgia crossed every line and I will not be used again

“What do we have here?” my attention was brought back to reality and I turned around to see Elara standing there in all her glory
The one woman I was meant to stay away from doesn't seem to know how to let me go

“nice to see you Elara but as much as I want to have a chit chat with you right now I have numbers of place to be and you are definitely not on that list” I wanted to walk pass her but her hand grabbed my upper arm and she had the intention of dragging me on the ground but I stood still and punch her in the face so hard

“Why you little…” before she got the chance to complete her statement ii punched her again and again till she eventually passed out

I pulled her broke nail from my skin before heading upstairs and avoiding all the guards and most especially Ragnar. I walked into my old room to see Zeph playing video games but he knew someone had entered the room as he turned to look at me and the same darkness filled his eyes

“What are you doing here?” he asked before setting the pad down and reaching for a phone

Without thinking I snatched the phone away from him and put a tissue upon his nose, he struggled a bit but slowly he passed out in his arms and I locked the door before opening the passageway from my room

“I am so sorry, Zeph but things aren’t always done the easy way” I flipped him over my shoulder before darting through the passage while watching and listening carefully

Only five people knew this passage, one was dead, two locked in the dungeon and I had no idea where one person was. I needed to be careful at all costs. I walked to the back exit of the pack close to the secret door I used before and froze when I realized someone there

I kept Zeph in a safe corner and walked out to see two guards talking to one another

“Hey boys!” I made my presence known and they immediately reached for their weapons but they stopped and whistled

Boy will always boys

Without thinking I kicked them down and used my claws to injure them so that they bleed to death. I immediately took Zeph and ran away. I shift into my wolf form as soon as I got the chance, took Zeph on my back and ran back home as fast as possible

My heart beat was faster than usual and after what seemed to be two hours I began hearing sounds of cars, I was close to the main road but two rogues out of nowhere attacked me and Zeph woke up and almost got killed

The motherly instinct which I never knew existed kicked in and I pounced on the wolf and killed him, I shift back to human to see if he was alright but he tried pushing me away and I snapped

“listen Zeph, I don’t know what lies your father has filled you with but we are out here all alone, so you either stay with me and be alive or not!” he looked at me and the darkness in his eyes was gone and filled with fear before he put his hand out for me and I grabbed it
