A Tale Of Revenge And Redemption

LYRA'S P.O.V.

I woke up to Zeph crying out loudly, and I looked to see that he had his leg stuck beneath the bed. How did it even get there?

I pulled it out after so much struggle and pulled his leg out only for me to see him not only covered in bruises on his leg but his arms as well

“Where did you get these?” I took a hand towel to clean the blood that trailed down his leg.

“I… I went to get water downstairs, and he pushed me” He cried, and I paused to look at him.

“He pushed you? Who pushed you?”

“A guard. Alpha Vallar is getting him punished in the dungeon now” I applied some ointment for him as the anger within me flared.

“Get some rest, and I'll heal before you wake up” He nods gently as I tucked him in, and he closed his eyes to sleep

It's been a week since Vallar asked me to meet him and I refused, he had been orderly silent but every bit of me felt that he was behind this, and I was not going to spare him

I pushed the door of the dungeon and stormed in. I followed his scent and voice but as I got closer the smell of blood hit me like a ton of ices, but I wasn't concerned about that.

“Do not…"

“Stop” My voice made all three guards to turn around and Vallar whose sentence I just cut short

“What are you…"

“Leave us” Vallar interrupted him as I glared at him, but he only smiled and as soon as the guards left he pinned me to the wall with an abnormal amount of speed “... What did I say about interrupting me?”

I used all the strength I had in my legs and pushed him off me with great force

“How dare you lay a finger on my child?!” I growled, but he laughed which did nothing but got me angrier

“Did he tell you it was a guard?”

“Oh spare me that bullshit, we both know it's you!”

“You disobeyed me”

“And you went after my child? I know your sudden silence was alarming but going after a five-year-old, how low can you stoop Vallar?” His eyes darkened at the sound of his name, but my fear was nothing compared to the anger I felt.

“I told you not to test me, but you did and this obeyed me as well. I am not a nice man Lyra and I don't like nice things, but somehow you manage to get my attention ever since you got here” he reached for my hair, but I pulled back.

“I want nothing to do with you. Yes, I owe you a favor because you let me live here and the best thing I can do is work for you, but I will not be your mistress under any circumstances or your playmate!” He chuckled.

“Who says anything about that?”

“Then what do you want from me?”

“I want you to be my wife” My chest raised and dropped as I looked at him. He was serious, he was freaking serious! He has to be kidding me.

“Y… You have a wife”

“A wife? Hannah is a mad woman who keeps running away from mental homes. It's rare for werewolves to go mad, but it's not impossible. She has barely been a wife in the past ten years, who would consider her to be a wife?”

“She loves you”

“She doesn't even know the meaning of that word! I want to marry you and I will marry you. I know the maids in the palace have talked about you, stay away from me because Hannah will kill you, and she definitely will…"
