LYRIC

I hesitated for a moment, trying to think of the best way to handle his mood.

“I’ve been calling for fuck knows how long! You didn’t return any of my calls! I was fucking worried, and this whole time, you were with him?! Are you for real?”

I glanced at the car behind me. Alpha Zarek was still there. His glass wasn’t tainted, so we

could see him.

“No! It’s–It’s not what you think. I tried to call back but-

“What is wrong with you, Lyric? Do you really have no self–control? How can you be this loose?

“I

His words struck me deep in the heart that my jaw dropped to the floor.

Kael shifted uncomfortably and turned to the guards with him.

“Let’s go,“he whispered.

I watched as they walked off, leaving me with the unreasonable side of Jaris.

“How can you even say that?” I scoffed. “I don’t sleep around, Alpha Jaris! So, you have no right to use those words on me!”

Now that we were alone, I felt that I could finally raise my voice. Although it came more from pain than frustration.

“Oh, spare me!” He scoffed. “You don’t even know what you do. You’re that desperate for sex, aren’t you? It isn’t just me!”

For a moment, I feared I’d have a heart failure. What was he talking about?

He sounded like I was a whore. A shameless whore he hated.

“I don’t…” I shook my head, tears pouring down. “I don’t understand. How can you–”

“Before we signed this agreement, I told you how important my image is,” He stepped toward me, anger emanating from his pore. “I told you’l didn’t give a fuck how loose you were. But I made you understand I didn’t want you fucking around while we were together. All you have to do is wait, Lyric! If you’re so desperate for men, you fucking wait until we’re done! Then, I won’t stop you.”

“You don’t even know what happened!” I yelled at him. “How can you just lay these stupid accusations against me? What is wrong with you?!” I didn’t mind the fact that I was using a

curse word on him. I was so pissed and hurt.

“You know what? Why don’t you go back to the car with him? I’m sure you’re dying to spend the night with him, huh? Go back, Lyric! You probably have more men you want to sleep with.”

Everything seemed to stop. My heart. The air. Time.

For a moment, I couldn’t even see Jaris in front of me as everything went blank. I thought I was going to pass out.

But seconds later, everything returned to normal. I could see Jaris again. I could breathe again. But my heart wasn’t the same. It wasn’t beating right.

I looked at Jaris now and could only see a stranger. Since I met him, he had said a lot of hurtful things to me; things that made me cry.

But none of them had been like this. None of them had tortured me this much.

It was as painful as dying.

I dragged my eyes from his face to the ground beneath his feet. So many retorts rested on my tongue. But I couldn’t find the strength to push them out.

“You’re unbelievable.” It was all I could manage to say.

I turned around to leave but stopped dead in my tracks. No. I couldn’t leave like this.

I turned back to him. He was still staring at me, his eyes as hot as mine.

“I don’t know where you get these speculations from, and I don’t even care. Not anymore. But know this, Jaris,” Yeah, I called him by his name. To hell with the respect. “My whole life, I have only ever slept with one man, and it’s the worst mistake of my life.”

I let my hatred burn through as I turned and walked away, going past Zarek’s car. I heard him come out of the car.

“Lyric!”

But I didn’t turn. I was done with everyone. I was done with everything.

JARIS

I felt a bitter taste on my tongue, and a heavy ache in my heart.

For the first time, she called me by my name while she was conscious. But it rolled off her tongue with deep hatred.

Rage. Hatred. Confliction.

I felt it all at once.

For hours, the boys and I had been looking for her. I was worried that something bad might have happened.

Yet, it seemed she was with Zarek all along.

I knew how she sounded. She was clearly trying to deny it. But I knew better. She slept with him before we got mated. Who was to say she hadn’t been doing the same after then?

A car stopped by the road to drop off one of our Pack members. I angrily watched as she got inside herself.

For weeks, we’ve been on an ‘okay‘ level. It was painful to know I wasn’t exclusive to her body. That after everything we shared, she still went running to her side lover.

Zarek stormed toward me.

Oh, now that I thought of it, the asshole was still here. He was insane if he thought he’d be getting out of here unhurt.

I wanted to hurt him. So so bad.

“What is wrong with you, Jaris?!” He growled at me.

I saw red as I looked at him. I balled my hands into fists, thinking of the best way to hurt him.

“How can you be so unreasonable? Do you even know what happened to her?”
