LYRIC

He must sense my fear because he smirked. “Calm down, will you? I just want to talk.”

He leaned against the wall, crossing his arms like this was a normal conversation. “Remember those times you were upset that I hadn’t taken you to bed?”

I gulped hard at his question. Why was he bringing it up?

Instead of letting him rule the conversation with my fear, I forced myself to play strong.

“Yeah. You mean all those times you’d bring different women home and make me listen to their moans? Sure, I remember.”

He chuckled. Like this was funny to him?!

“I just wanted to say I’m sorry, Lyric.”

I scoffed. “Sorry for what? For not wanting to have sex with me because I was too ugly to be looked at?”

“Well, you can’t blame me, can you? Your face was nothing to write home about, Lyric. I’m sure you wouldn’t have wanted to be with me if I were ugly.”

I shook my head at his shallow mindedness. The asshole actually thought everything was about looks.

“Honestly, I wish I could turn back the hands of time,” he shifted from the wall. “I’d have made you feel the best kind of things in bed.”

“Please, Roderick. Cut it. Don’t flatter yourself, thinking you’re actually that impressive in bed. I mean, definitely, you must’ve known those moans were faked.”

His smile slipped. Seeing that I’ve hit a sensitive spot, I continued. “You should be good at this. You should know when moans are being faked or real. Unless, sadly, you’ve never heard real moans before.”

“Come on, Lyric-”

“One day, you slapped one of your bitches when she didn’t even moan at all. It wasn’t until you threatened her that she got into the role and started bringing out her cries.” It was my turn to smirk. “I heard it, Roderick. It was quite shameful.”

Finally, I got Roderick Fletcher where it really hurt. Because right now, there was no trace of a smile on his face.

“Get out of my room, Roderick. Or better still,” I grabbed my bag. “I’m done here. So you can have the room.”

But when I reached the door and tired to open it, he roughly grabbed my arm. It was so rough it made me wince.

“You think they fake their moans, huh?” He taunted. “Well, bear this in mind, sweet Lyric, sooner than you think, I’m going to fuck that cunt of yours. Then, you’ll tell me if those moans are being faked or not.”

All I felt was repulsion and the need to break his nose. But I knew that’d be impossible with someone like Roderick.

“Let me go, asshole!” I jerked my hand free. “Don’t ever touch me again. Ever!” I spat at him before rushing out of the room.

I felt better by the time I drove back to Darkspire. To hell with Roderick and his stupid words.

I couldn’t help the feeling of calm that hit me as I stepped out of my car. I miss being here. I wouldn’t even deny it.

The guards and servants dipped their heads at me as I made my way in. The first room I went to wasn’t even mine, no. It was the one room I’d missed the most in the entire Pack.

“Aunty Lyric!” The adorable twins jumped on me the second I opened the door.

“Hey pumpkins!!! Which of you missed me?!” I pulled them into my arms.

“Me!”

“No, it was me!”

“I missed you more, aunty Lyric!”

While I was away, they kept calling and asking when I’d be back. I missed them so much and felt bad that I was away from them. But I was too angry at Jaris to come back.

“How have you been? Ooh, you’re trying on new dresses!” I stepped back to admire what they had on. Goodness, they looked magnificent!

Their designer was by the side of the room, sm.ng at us.

“It’s our birthday outfit. What do you think, aunty Lyric?” Xyla beamed.

“Hmm. What do I think?” I placed my index finger under my chin like I was really thinking. “I’d say you’re the cutest kids I’ve

ever seen. Trust me, if any other kids were to try on these clothes, they wouldn’t look as good as you two right now.”

They giggled. Oh, such cute sounds.

I spent some more time with them, discussing how the preparations for their birthday was going. It was just five days from

now.

On my way to my room, I found Kael coming. He was wearing a suit–which was a very rare sight. So, I remembered he was supposed to have dinner with Jace.
