Chapter 81 Where is Lyra?
Chapter 81
Rosa's POV
“L…Lyra?” I asked, my lips trembled. I leaped my head forward a bit so that my ears wouldn't betray me.
I turned to Caramel and we quickly exchanged glances. Caramel turned her gaze back into the floor.
I knew this was beyond her. Caramel couldn't pull this one. Her little deer wouldn't dare pay a visit to her little lioness's friend in her home. She would be an automatic recipe for dinner.
I knew the news had reached Alpha Vexhood, concerning all the wonders lyra had performed in the pack recently, especially in the last few days.
I tried to warn her that she-wolf. That stubborn lyra to stay out of this. This is too big for her. But she wouldn't listen.
“Are you sure this is what you want?”
Alpha Jax nodded her head. He flattened his lips, no words came out of it.
I watched as his hand clenched tightly on the totem.
I heaved out heavily . This was still an easy demand. I thought he had come for my life. I thought the gods had revealed to him all my sins recently, especially how Astra had met her strange death . I thought they had declared that I am unable to function as queen anymore because my hand soiled with blood.
“I will go get her now.” I paid homage.
Caramel, who was behind, couldn't help. At this point I had to give up my loyalty towards lyra.
Heaven knows I had tried. Had it been she that day, Alpha Vexhood instructed me to leave Stormfang and followed me to Ryder's house. It would have been better than this.
Stupid fool! If she is that gifted and endowed by the gods , she should have used it to save her pack that fell into ruin in the hands of rogues not coming here to play demi-gods.
Now the news has reached Alpha Vexhood, who will save lyra from his hand.
Welcome to hell lyra, welcome to hell dear. You really are not coming out of this soon. I wish what I wish myself.
I stepped out of my quarters, I didn't have to call any maids, I walked directly into the maids quarters and then her room.
My sudden showing up in the maids quarters surprised everyone. Everywhere was in disarray. I wasn't in the mood to address anything. I just walked straight to Lyra's door.
Bang! Bang!!
No response. No feet dragged on the floor, close to the door.
My patience, thinning out.
Then my hand clasped on the door knob, the door creaked open.
Lyra, not in. My eyes darted around the room. But something struck me. lyra, her room, stuck with healing scrolls and books. The exact one Mila used to read when alive. Was Mila lying to me that she hardly read and write? Only those that went to healing academy, that capable of reading this type of scrolls and books.
This will be attended to later, this is not why I am here.
Where could she have gone at this moment?
I didn't send her on an errand.
I stepped out of her room,
Hey you, where is Lyra?”
A maid kneeling with her knees in front of me was the last thing I needed.
I didn't ask you to kneel,” I roared, I am only asking you where lyra is?
I…i.. have not set my eyes on her today.” I watched as her lips trembled and those words which did not sit with me tumbled out of her mouth.
I turned to another omega coming out of her room.
What about, have you seen lyra today?”
She bowed and then nodded her head.
I hope you have not sent her in person and by chance it skipped your mind.
Then, you must be stupid,” I countered, " you are indirectly telling me that my brain is not working?
No… my luna,”
Shut up, because how would I send a maid on an errand and I will still walk down here to ask for her?”
That is not what I…”
I snapped before she could finish, “Shut up and …get the hell out of here,”
She sprang up and disappeared. I watched with annoyance as she disappeared from my presence.
And changed my gaze to the one still on his knees, “and you,” my voice cut through the air like a whip, “go and inform everyone to search every nook and crannies of this palace to fetch me lyra,”
“Ok your honor,”
She sprang up on her feet. I watched her as she started knocking through the door passing across my order.
Noise. Disruption in the air. As the few maids who were in their quarters trooped out.
I stood for a minute before leaving for my quarters.
I stepped back into my room. Alpha Vexhood was still seated at the edge of my bed , the exact position he was before I left the room.
But caramel was standing in the room with him. Right besides the door.
Fuck! Caramel again? I looked at her with the corner of my eyes and back to Alpha Vexhood.
Where is she?” asked gently.
She is on her way, some said they saw her at the Banquet hall…” I paused a bit, " I have sent for her."
As I was speaking, Alpha Vexhood didn't bother to look into my face. The totem in his hand stamped the floor repeatedly. A tiny greenish glow which emboldened fear, control and destruction, oozes from the top.
Alpha Vexhood smiled faintly and looked up into my face.
Definitely the new that have been flying around were right
About what?” I asked, pinching my brow together, foundling with my fingers.
“About you protecting her?”
