I asked. “Hi, okay stay here I will call her.” She said and dashed to the back of the store. Lyra scent became stronger and I knew she was nearby. Fuck hurry up damn it I thought to myself. I did not want to get caught in a lady’s store by Lyra. I turned and a woman walked out from the back with the assistant, she had long black hair and was hippy like dressed. “Wolf” she said under her breath towards me. “Yes, I’m assuming you are Santina. I need your help please.” I said. She took me by the arm and pulled me to the other side of the store. I flinched a bit because she is a witch and can be dangerous. “How dare you come into a witch’s territory and just demand my help!” she said in a furious whisper. I turned and saw Lyra stepping into the exact same store as me. Now I’m fucked I thought to myself. “I’m sorry Santina but I wouldn’t be doing this if it was not urgent. There is a friend of mine; a witch and she needs your help. Both of us please. Can you just come with me right now?” I explained and asked. She looked at me, basically stared at me. “Fine, I will come. Any funny tricks and I will have your head in my hand okay. Let me just get my things at the back.” She said and I nodded, gulping. I looked up from behind a railing and I saw Lyra, what is she wearing I thought to myself. Wow she looks amazing, beautiful. It was this red off shoulder dress that fitted her curves perfectly. She looked like a goddess. Fuck I wanted her body and her lips. Suddenly Santina broke my daze away. “Come let’s go.” She said. Lyra left the front of the store and went to the back and that is when I could swiftly walk out the store without looking guilty. We quickly made our way to my car and drove back to the hotel. We got out and went up with the elevator to Emily. “Emily, it’s me. Open. I’m with Santina.” I said knocking. The door slowly opened and I walked in the room. “Are you okay?” I asked her. “Yeah I just feel really sick.” She responded. I turned around to look at Santina who had her arms crossed over her chest. “Emily, this is Santina, the witch you told me about.” I said. “Yes, I know, Santina please do come in.” she said holding her stomach and looking really sick. “Emarie Roel Migo. I must say, you have hidden from the coven very well hey.” she said to Emily. “You as well Safar, good seeing you after so many years.” She said. “Oh, you guys know each other?” I asked. “Yes.” They both replied at the same time. I walked over to the couch while the girls were chatting and Safar as what I just found out now unpacked her bag filled with strange witch objects. Safar started chanting in the room and over the bed. Her eyes were closed and her hands were trembling. “Emarie, you have hidden yourself from the truth and a life will get taken and given.” She told Emmy. “What do you mean?” she asked. “You will not know because you placed the spell upon yourself and now you reap a child.” She said. “What?” she said confused. “Let me show you.” Safar said placing her hand on Emily’s head. Emily started to cry and I stood up making my way towards her when she stopped me to finish seeing whatever she was being showed by Safar. “Emarie, you need to deal with what you have done. You made a foolish choice. Do you remember now?” she asked. “Yes I do, does he know?” she asked. “No, not until you break the spell he will not know.” She replied. “Flynn, could you mind giving us alone time?” Safar asked me. I then left the room to mine. “Emarie, you are carrying a Hybrid child. Half wolf and half witch.” She said. “I cannot believe it. It was just one night. One night that I thought I could forget forever. Safar, he has a mate. That is why we came to LV to sort things out and to fight a battle.” I replied. “Yes, but that is his journey, not yours. You cannot hang on his hem for the rest of your life Emarie.” She explained. “So, what will happen now? I’m with child. Do I tell him?” I asked, “When you are ready.” She replied. “But remember, the blood means a life will be taken as soon as a life is given.” She continued. “One last favour Safer.” I said. “Yes?” she said. “Please temporally take Lyra’s pain away so that she can heal and open up towards Flynn. Her rejection is causing body pain and strain and he is unable to get through to her.” I explained. “Very well.” Safar said and left the room. I came back into the room to find Emily taking off the bloodied sheets. “Are you okay now?” I asked worried. “I will be, don’t worry about me okay.” She replied. “Okay uh I kinda need you to do something for me please?” I said. “Yes sure, what is wrong?” she asked. “There was a red dress that Lyra tried on today at the same shop. Can you buy it for me please?” I asked. “Yes of cause, I will do it later on once I’m done here. You need to also get in touch with Safar again, she will be taking Lyra’s pain away temporally until you guys accept each other. This will give you some time to win her over and to help her heal okay.” She explained. “Wow Emmy, that is the best news ever. Thank you so much.” I said hugging her. Everything seemed fine and falling into place over the next few days. Me and Safar went over to Lyra, I think she probably wanted to rip my throat out for bringing a witch along. Safar helped to ease her pain to give me a chance to break through to Lyra. I became very persistent over the few days to make her understand that I care about her and I want to be there for her. I stopped by every morning to make sure she is up and ready for work and immediately leave. I still gave her the space she needed but also making her understand that I do exist in her life. One morning she came into the kitchen, I had just made us coffee knowing that she would be waking up soon. She walked in with this oh so hot silk nightie. I could feel my dick getting hard beneath the table. I breathed and tried to get my mind off her; she thought I could not hear her but I did. I looked up and no it did not help. For the first time that day she asked me a few questions and even spoke to me. I gave her my business card that day to call up Emily to fit her into my schedule. I was hoping the time would come where she would want to know a little bit more or to understand what happened. She was very upset hearing that I was also from the Luna pack but eventually she understood everything. I am really hoping that she would accept me fully so that we can take on her father together. So that we can heal the Creek and build the pack up again. After the long conversation me and Lyra had. She decided to take some time and think about everything so I gave her the time which I agreed to. I wanted her to be ready. After about a week away from her I decided it was time to meet up again. I arranged with Emmy to have the dress delivered to her house and to also book a table at Goutre Abi, a French restaurant here in LV. I hope she will take the slightly demand well. I had a note sent with the dress to be ready at 18:00 sharp. Emily has been very distant from me over the past few days ever since Safar helped her that day. As much as what we have been friends for all these years, we have always not been in each other’s spaces but I feel that something is wrong and I’m hoping to find out soon or just hoping she will speak to me about whatever is bothering her.
Chapter 5
Lyra’s POV
It has been a few days now since the meeting I had with Flynn. I have not seen Joanne too, probably at the Creek already. Every night I have been tossing and turning in bed trying to understand everything, allowing my brain to filter every detail. Every day was the same routine; I would get up and go to work, come back and sleep. Flynn hasn’t even contacted me, sometimes I feel angry about it but then I get flustered knowing that he loves me and is giving me the space I need. Every day I do the same summery in my head; my father is Alpha. He is power greedy and the Creeks is suffering with his rule. My mother did not want to let me go but had no choice and I have three brothers left behind. My father knew about me having the gift and that I would be Alpha, he banished me because of this. I can’t believe that I was a treated like a rogue on purpose, treated like an outcast for another’s benefit. Once I was done with my shift at the Café I walked home. Same old, same old. I got into my apartment and to my surprise on the kitchen table was a nicely wrapped box, I swear my stomach turned from excitement. I knew it would be from Flynn, I smiled walking over to it. I first picked it up, okay it’s not that heavy I thought. I put down my bag and started to unwrap the box. Once I opened It, my mind was blown. It was the exact same dress I fitted on in the store! “What?” I shouted out loud. I took the dress out and hugged it. Oh, this man is good I thought to myself, he is really working hard to get through to me. He has officially scored plenty of brownie points. I picked up the note that came along it which requested I be ready at 18:00 sharp. Okay so I have never been on a date, he didn’t exactly ask as well. Oh well, he gave me enough space and I think it is time I start trying now. It was around 15:00 so I had about three hours to get perfectly done. I picked up the box to take it to my room when Joanne burst through the door out of breath and bewildered. She was in wolf form. “Joanne, what the fuck is going on!? Why are you here?” I asked confused. She changed back and fell to the floor, she laid on her back and kicked the front door closed with her leg. I ran to her side. “What happened?” I asked again. She signalled for some water and I rushed to get her a glass and brought it to her. Once she drank the glass she got up and moved to the sofa. “Lyra, your father is planning against you. I ran here as quickly as I could. He has already sectioned a few henchmen for you and Flynn.” She said out of breath. “What? Oh, fuck no Joanne. You can’t be serious.” I said almost in tears. “Lyra do you think I would be running in wolf form around town for nothing? I was trying to get
