Chapter 121
Chapter 121:
“It was because I didn’t want to hear that, Jaris. I don’t know how she happened to fall for you so quickly, but she’s loved you since then. And if it came down to choosing, she’d have never let me anywhere near her. And the worst part—she thinks it was all a dream. She doesn’t know anything of it p>
The shock I felt was like nothing I’d experienced in years. Not even when Jace accused Marta of cheating.
I lowered my gaze to the floor, and the ground seemed to spin.
“And about tonight,” Zarek’s voice grew angrier. “Didn’t you stop to think about the fact that she didn’t return in her car? She was attacked on her way home, man—by some bloodsucking wolves! They turned her car over, and she would’ve died had I not been there to save her. She was so damn scared and only wanted to get home. From the look of things, she was eager to share it with you.

Kael and the others came to me.
“What’s going on?” Kael asked, sounding like a concerned friend.
I rubbed my hand over my face, a sudden ache developing in my head. Lyric never slept with Zarek. She only kissed him because she thought it was me. She’d never cheated on me. She loved me this whole time.

I reached for my phone and tried to call her, but this time, her line was switched off. Damn it.
“Get the car ready, Kael,” I instructed without looking at him. “Now p>
For a long time, we drove down the road, but we couldn’t tell which route Lyric had taken. There was no trace of her.
Where could she possibly go? There was no way she’d go back to the hospital. So that narrowed the search down to hotels.
“Check every hotel in the city, starting from the ones closest to the Pack,” I ordered. “She’s got to be around somewhere. No one is sleeping tonight until we’ve found her p>
LYRIC
I sniffled as I tucked some strands of hair behind my ear, my face red.
The maid came up to me with a steaming cup of tea.
