Chapter 8 - Lyra

Lyra watched Levi and Adam, a strange feeling fluttering inside of her. Until Levi had returned to their lives, she had never realized how much of a spitting image Adam was. It was funny. She’d always thought Adam looked a lot like her. Maybe he did. But there was a strong resemblance between the both of them that grew thicker the more she stared.

Levi stood behind Adam and whispered something in his ear that made him laugh. She watched from her spot by the door. They were in the old library, where Orson had stored most of his favorite books before moving to the mansion. It was also where she had received some of her earliest training.

Orson had insisted that training was one hundred percent about control, serenity with oneself, and keenness to one’s surroundings. He thought that a library was a perfect place as any to hone those skills before they started hunting in the woods. Now, Adam was being taught by his own father. Much as she still resented him, pride swelled in her chest. Her son had grown up so fast and was on his journey to being a full member of the pack.

Levi whispered something to Adam again and he broke form, running for the door for a few minutes of freedom. Levi let him have short breaks.

Lyra ruffled his head as he ran past, but he seemed too eager to be away from there.

Lyra chuckled. “He’s such a character.”

“Don’t I know it,” Levi agreed. “Reminds me of someone I know. Or rather, used to know.”

Lyra said nothing. She kept her eyes on the remaining old books on the shelves, camouflaged in the dust. And on the window that stole as much of a glimpse of the sunset as it could. She knew Levi was looking at her, so she stared at everywhere else but him.

When the moment passed and he finally looked away, she felt like she was able to breathe again. It was irritating the way he made her feel, even after what he had done, and the way he limited her abilities each time he was around her. She sighed. They had better things to talk about.

“My father was attacked.”

Levi didn’t react to the news. It was like he was hearing something he had heard a thousand times. “These…creatures attacked him while he was working on his car. I’ve been really scared since then.”

“Why?”

“Why? Because anyone would be. Because it’s strange—he’s an Alpha, and anyone bold enough to attack him ought to be strong enough to face the whole pack. Whoever or whatever it was knew the stakes and went ahead. Doesn’t that scare you?” She wasn’t saying the thing that scared her the most, but Levi knew there was something else. He always knew.

He took one look into her eyes and dug deep into them. “That’s not all, is it? What aren’t you telling me?”

“It’s Adam. He hasn’t told you, has he?”

“Told me what?”

She heaved a breath. “That thing that attacked my father, Adam had an…encounter with it.
