Chapter 221
LYRIC
He didn’t seem surprised by my words. How would he? When he knew how much damage he’s brought to my life?
Just his mere presence made my skin itch. It
inded me of the night he hurt me so bad I thought I was going to die. The guy was a monster. I’d bea fool to think his sudden show of concern wasn’t because he wanted to use me,
For a minute, we didn’t say a word to each other. So, I started toward the door.
“I don’t think I can let you leave, Lyric.” His words made me freeze at the door.
I turned to him with furrowed brows. “You might not see it yet, but I’m trying to protect you.”
“Well, I don’t need your stupid protection! Haven’t I been clear enough?!”
“I don’t think so.” He rose to his feet. “Your bag is in the closet. I was able to retrieve it for you. If you need anything, all you have to do is phone me. My number’s written over there.” He pointed at a paper on the table.
I watched in wonder as he came toward me. I thought maybe, I’d run out when he tried to leave the room. But he was prepared for me.
As soon as he opened the door and I tried to run out, he grabbed me by the hair and pushed me so hard I landed on my butts. He was out the door before I could get back on my feet.
My mouth hung open in shock. Was Caden kidnapping me?!

I stood at the balcony, watching the guards as they lined some of the offenders on their knees.
It had been a mess around here. The war was getting more serious with more people dying daily. The Pack guards managed to catch some of the people fighting; but I didn’t know what to do with them yet. As a matter of fact, I was least concerned about them and focused more on the Executioners who were on their way here with my runaway mate.
They called me a while ago and told me they had captured her. Finally.
I didn’t know how to feel about that. I badly wanted to see her. How has she been surviving on her own for the past one week? Hasn’t it been difficult for
her?
But I was also worried for her. Coming back here would mean the Executioners get to do what they want, and I wasn’t sure I could let that happen.
My phone rang in my pocket. I answered as soon as I saw it was Cole. Maybe he was calling to tell me they were close.
“We were attacked. She’s gone,” he said huskily, sounding like he was in pain.
My brows scrunched in confusion. “What’re you talking about? Who attacked you?”
“Your brother and his Feeders. They killed two of my people! They fucking did!”
My hands turned cold. “And Lyric?”
“He took her. It’s the second time he’s saved her today.”
“What did you just say?”

“I’m sorry, My King. We didn’t expect the attack from him.”
My view drowned in red as my sanity slipped through my fingers. Caden took Lyric. He must be hurting her. What the fuck was wrong with hisz

I stayed in the room for a few more hours before the door went open again. I was ready to attack and strike at Caden, but it turned out not to be himu
“The Boss wants you downstairs,” the unfamiliar cocked his head.
I gave him a suspicious look before following him. Maybe I could seize the opportunity to escape.
I soon realized how difficult it would be for me when I saw the numerous men guarding the place. All of these people were Feeders and under Caden’s control? The man had been building an army around here.
We arrived at what looked like a living room. By the side, I found Caden speaking in hushed tones to some men. He rounded up the moment he saw me.
“You’re here,” he said with a smile as he came toward me. “Please, this way.”
He led the way to the dining which was just beside the living room. But I didn’t take a seat when he did.
