---- 45.


    YOU MESSED WITH THE WRONG ALPHA LYRA We were taken to a tent far away and tied up next to each other on some sturdy poles holding up the roof.


    Drakkar was suspiciously calm, like he could explode at any moment.


    ..


    What the hell is Nerén nning? ..


    No idea, but that pompous asshole is taking advantage of the Alpha being away on an expedition and leaving him in charge of the fair.


    We heard the guards talking outside before walking off.


    Seems like the Alphas precious son was pulling this crap behind his daddys back, scheming with Verak.


    Drakkar, do you trust me? I suddenly asked, looking to the side.


    His head snapped up and I was shocked to see half his face covered in ck veins swimming under his skin like venomous snakes.


    No, no! Look at me, calm down, if they see you like this itll be worse. If you lose control, its hard for me to reach your wolf! That was my biggest fear.


    ---- { cant just sit here while they hurt you! he growled, all wolf and fury.


    Drakkar, theres something you need to know.


    Im strong, really strong.


    Im an Alpha too, I whispered.


    Lyra, dont lie to me...


    Pm not, baby.


    Ive just been hiding my aura.


    Let me show you how strong I am, I said.


    I knew the moment wasing soon.


    yeraks gonna show up here... no, listen to me carefully, Drakkar.


    Leave him to me...


    to both of us.


    Look at me...


    I called his attention again, his wild eyes filled with violence.


    Let me get my revenge...


    together...


    Together...


    he muttered under his breath, but I wasnt sure if he''d y smart.


    Just like I predicted, a few minutester, the leather door opened and that idiot Verak swaggered in.


    7 always knew you were a thief, but I never thought you''d go this far, he told Drakkar, slowly walking toward us. Drakkar just stared at him, murderous rage pouring from every pore.


    ---- Lower your damn dog eyes when you''re in front of me! Verak punched him, and I growled with pure hatred.


    I saw Drakkars fists clench behind his back so hard his knuckles turned white.


    Verak! What do you want from us? You know damn well we didnt steal anything! I shouted, pulling his attention.


    T knew he just wanted to humiliate Drakkardrop the act and get to the point already.


    Lyra, Lyra...


    so beautiful, rebellious...


    and dumb, he finally walked over to me.


    His disgusting eyes sparkled with lust, scanning me from head to toe.


    How could you pick the wrong guy like this? He grabbed my neck, forcing my head up.


    Right next to me, I felt a fierce growllike a lit fuse, seconds from exploding.
