Chapter 202

LYRIC

The day did come. Despite how much I wished it wouldn’t.

Jaris held my hand as he walked me into the huge hall which was normally used for the trials. It wasn’t just the Council that were gathered; he had summoned other Wolves as well.

What was he doing?

If he wasn’t holding my hand right now, I wasn’t sure I’d have kept going.

The people mumbled as we climbed onto the stage. Every single person I knew was there, including the Executioners.

I kept my head down the whole time, too afraid to meet their judgy eyes. I still didn’t know what Jaris‘ plan was. But I trusted him.

He took the stage. Everyone bowed their heads and chorused his new title.

“Thank you all for coming,” his voice was firm as he spoke. “I had to do this today because, it’s a topic that is beyond important to me. It involves the woman I love.”

The hall went dead silent.

“And also, the woman carrying my child.”

The silence was shattered in a split second.

My mouth dropped open in shock, same time the crowd started mumbling and looking at each other. What was he doing?! He didn’t tell me he was going to reveal that!

Jaris waited for the noise to die down before he continued.

“Recently, as you all know already, we discovered she was a Siphon–something that has always been forbidden and executed. Before now, I also hated the Siphons and was glad they were in extinction.” He scoffed. “If you heard my story, you’d understand I have more reasons to hate them than you do.

“I met with this woman under unpleasant circumstances,” he stretched his hand toward me. “I didn’t like her at first, just like I hardly ever liked anyone. But that was before I got to understand how much of an amazing woman she was. Lyric Harper has been more than a blessing to my life. She’s my everything, and honestly, I can’t imagine myself living without her.”

“Yes, I am being biased. The right thing to do would be to hand her to the Executioners.” He paused for emphasis. “But how can I not be biased when it has to do with this very woman? How can I… simply hand her over like she hasn’t been the sweetest soul I know?”

He glanced at me with soft loving eyes before looking back at the crowd.

“Some of you here have met Lyric, and I’d like to know if there’s any of you that’s had a bad experience with her. Why do we have to execute our own simply because they’re something they did not choose to be? Who the hell set these laws?!”

The low buzz of the crowd heightened.

We have worse wolves amongst us, Most of us here have done despicable things things we have somehow managed to get has been nothing but sweet to the people around her should be the one executed? Because the

“To prove my point, I have brought over some witnesses to testify on their encounter with Lyric.” He stepped aside, looking at the backstage.

I also watched curiously, wondering what people he was referring to. Until I saw a couple of people emerging from the backstage.

My mouth dropped open as a loud gasp escaped it.

Mr. Owens, Mr. Pete, so many other patients I healed at TCH, my friends–Juan, Beck–some of my colleagues from work.

What the hell? How did Jaris know about them and even find them?

The noise from the crowd grew as the people took the stage. They bowed at me before facing the crowd.

My heart was beating too fast, tears gathering behind my eyes.

One after the other, they spoke of how I’d helped them get better within minutes; taken their pain away when the other doctors had been unable to.

Some mentioned how their cases had been terminal, yet I gave them a second chance at life.

Nina, Owen’s granddaughter who had been pregnant when I healed her grandfather, also came on stage with her little baby.
