Lyra’s POV

I knew something was wrong. I know he is cruel. I can't believe I lashed out at him like that and got away with it.

He suspects I'm hiding things. I was discreet about it, and Alpha Kessler finding out is still a mystery to me.

All through my shopping spree, I wasn't in the right frame of mind. My thoughts kept going back and forth regarding my conversation with him.

As I browse through the aisles, picking out baby items, my mind is consumed with worry. I try to focus on the task at hand, but I can't shake the feeling of dread.

What will Kessler do...
