The Golden Queen

Chapter 23 - Silver

Lyra's POV

Eros's head snaps up.
"Your dad?"

I nod.

E: "Oh shit."

I feel tears threaten to fall.
"Yeah."

Cole comes over and embraces me in a hug.

I feel a warmness in my heart. One that I can't explain.

Cole lets go of me and I sigh.

...
Bold = Lyra
Italics = wolf
...

Mmmmm. That felt good, mate.

What? Who are you?

Me? Oh I'm your wolf. My name's Silver.

"Silver?"

Everyone's heads snap up to me.

"Shit I said that out loud."

Eros walks over to me. Cole walks back over, at some point he walked away.

"Who's Silver?"

"Why does it matter, Cole?"

"Because, Mate. I want to know."

For some reason I get very upset and I feel my wolf clawing to get out.
I hold back a growl. They can't know I shifted...not yet.

However, Silver has other plans. She lets out a huge growl that seems to shake the very world.

"I am Silver, Queen of all werewolves and the righteous heir to the throne, Mate."

I shake my head.
Shit.

Cole looks at me, confused.

"What? You can shift? And you what?"

"Cole, look. I remembered some things about my past...and my wolf...I just shifted for the first time right before you guys came. I'm still trying to make sense of all this but..."

I huff. Time to explain.

"Carlos and Maxon's dad were my dad's old Deltas. Cole's dad, Henry, the past king, was my dad's old Beta.
I had a memory.

...
Le time skip cuz you all already read the memory
....

My dad lost both of his mates, which caused him to go crazy. He took me with him when I was born and ran to the U.S., and after that, he changed everything. His name, everything.
He ran from his problems, and poisoned Cole's dad with wolfsbane to kill him..."

Cole looks at the ground.

"So you're telling me, us. That the man you saw in that painting when you first got here, is your father? And that you, are the missing princess? And your father...killed my dad? Is that what you're saying?!"

"Yes, Cole."

"Ok."

He starts to walk away.

"Cole? Where are you going?"

"I need time to...to decide if I can actually be mated to the daughter of the thing that killed my dad."

"What? Cole...no! Please..."

"I'm sorry Lyra."

And with that he left me. Little did we all know, this was only the beginning.
