Chapter 113
Kessler’s POV
I’m absolutely over the moon right now! As I left Lyra’s room, I couldn’t believe I spent the night with Lyra. I hadn’t slept well in a long while, but feeling her close to me, basking in her scent, made me whole again.
It’s like all the worries and stresses just melted away in her presence. I smiled as I remembered our conversations, her laughter etched in my mind.
Being with her feels like coming home like I’ve finally found where I belong. I’m grateful for this moment, cherishing every second spent with her.
I never knew I’d live to see the day when Lyra and I would be cordial again, staying in the same room without tearing ourselves apart.
I went to her room to show her the baby’s room so she would stop worrying about getting baby things.
As I stood there, holding the door handle, I felt nervous. Would she be open to this? Would she reject my gesture? With uncertainty clouding my mind, I took a deep breath and knocked softly.
But there was no response. As I pushed open the door, imagine my shock when I saw her with a dildo. Fuck, I lost it there.
I should be the one pleasuring her, not a damn dildo. It can’t give her as much pleasure as I could.
Lyra lashes out in anger upon seeing me, her powers starting to take over.
But I’m grateful that she’s able to contain her powers when she tries to break loose. I can’t imagine any harm coming to my heir.
I did a happy dance, twirling around. I was in such a fucking good mood that I stripped naked and walked to my bathroom to freshen up.
I couldn’t stay as long as I would have wanted to because I couldn’t risk Lyra changing her mind in seconds. Knowing that Lyra can be unpredictable.
The thought dimmed my spirits a bit, but I didn’t want to dwell on that as I continued with my bath.
As I stood under the warm water, letting it wash away the tension, my mind wandered back to Lyra.
Finishing my bath, I wrapped myself in a towel and headed back to the bedroom. I decided on casual wear: just a T-shirt and jeans.
“I mind linking Zach, clear my schedule for today,” I explained.
“Why, Alpha?” he asks, surprises evident in the mind-link.
“It’s an order, Zach.”
“Are you okay?” he asks again, his concern palpable. I know he won’t give up until I tell him the reason for asking him to clear my schedule.
“Yes, I am, Zach. Gosh, can you please just do this without questions?” I say, resigning to fate.
“I’m concerned about you, Kessler,” he replies, now as a friend because he’s calling me by my name.
“Oh, Zach, I’m having my time with Lyra. Happy now? Fuck you, Zach, for making me spill,” I mutter, feeling a mix of annoyance and amusement.
I could sense his happiness through the mind-link. “Oh my goodness, you and Lyra,” he exclaims. “I thought I wouldn’t live to see the day. I need to tick that off the bucket list. I want you to achieve it.”
Zach’s words bring a smile to my face, despite my initial irritation. His genuine happiness for me and Lyra is heartwarming.
“Bye, Zach,” I finally say to him as I sever the mind-link, not ready to hear what he has to say again. But deep down his support means a lot to me.
I might link Julie, likewise, to help me set up the garden for a romantic time with Lyra. It’s not the usual garden everyone goes to, but a special one that Cassie and I love.
Everything about the garden reminds me of her, so I had it ordered to be kept close. It’s always cleaned up once every week to keep it in shape.
I can imagine Julie’s shock when I asked her to prepare the garden for me. I want every moment spent with Lyra to be perfect.
“Yes, Alpha,” she replies, giggling.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Julie’s laughter is infectious, and for a moment, it eases the tension I’ve been feeling.
“Thank you, Julie. You’re a lifesaver.”
“Anything for you, Alpha. I hope your time with Lyra is as magical as the garden.”
Julie found her mate, but I’m wary of that guy, Ryder. He doesn’t seem like a good guy. I need to look into him and find out what he’s hiding.
I don’t want Julie to get crushed under my care. I know she’s awestruck by Ryder. Blame it on the mate bond, but I just want her safe.
She deserves happiness and security, especially after everything she’s been through. The last thing I want is for her to be hurt.
Ryder may seem charming on the surface, but I trust my instincts. I need to approach this with caution. I don’t want to jump to conclusions or create unnecessary tension. I need to find a balance between safeguarding Julie and respecting her choices.
I went to Lyra’s door and gave a small knock. She opened it, and as I stood there, I took in all of her, her scent filling me with so much warmth.
Will I ever get over this?
Alpha?” Her voice brought me out of my daze.
“Are you okay?” she asked as she stepped away so I could come into the room.
“Perfectly fine, my sunshine,” I replied, seeing her giggle like a schoolgirl. I love that I have this effect on her.
She was dressed in a white gown with a flower pattern all over. It fit her perfectly, showing her curves and pregnancy.
She is glowing, and I silently thank the moon goddess for a second chance with Lyra.
“You look beautiful,” I say softly.
“Thank you,” a soft blush tints her cheeks, as she smiles, her eyes sparkling with happiness.
Dolph has been quiet. I guess he doesn’t want to place his hope too high and be squashed again, just like always.
I don’t blame Dolph for being careful, but I’m ready to give it a shot, no matter how long it takes, to win her completely.
“Shall we?” I ask, stretching my hand out, ready to take hers.
She looks at me with a mix of emotions, but I’m happy when she places her hand on mine. I can sense the electric spark erupting from the contact.
Lyra’s eyes meet mine, and I can see a hint of vulnerability.
“We shall,” she says softly.
“I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of this feeling.” We soon found our way out of her room and then passed through my room.
I wasn’t ready to take chances when it came to Lyra; anyone who wanted to come for her must pass through me first.
I was happy she didn’t struggle with the idea of having an adjoining room to mine.
“I see the pack members looking out at us, bowing their necks in respect, for me and their soon-to-be Luna.
Yes, I’m ready with everything within me to make her my Luna.”
As we exit the corridor, I notice Zach approaching, and I can’t help but groan loudly, not wanting to cross paths with him.
Lyra catches on to the reason for my groaning, and I sense a smile tugging at her lips.
“Long live the king,” Zach says, bowing his head in a respectful gesture.
Zach’s words catch me off guard, and I narrow my eyes at him. “What the fuck, Zach? Are you mocking me?”
“Far from it, my lord, I could say I’m genuinely happy to see you both,” Zach replies with a hint of mischief.
I shake my head at his antics, knowing Zach’s playful nature all too well. “Go find something to do, or better still, go find Cara to disturb,” I suggested with a smirk.
“I just had a breathtaking round of sex with her, my king,” he adds, his tone filled with satisfaction.
“Get out of here,” I push Zach away gently as I take Lyra’s hand and lead her to the garden.
I can see that Lyra is laughing from ear to ear at Zach and me.
I’m more than happy to see that I’m the reason behind your smiles, “I’d love to keep that smile permanently on your face for as long as I live.” I say to her softly.
She smiles even more, and for once, Dolph leaps for joy, seeing that I have made a promise to our mate.
