Kessler’s POV

The news about Lyra's disappearance hits me like a thunderbolt. Never in my life have I felt so numb. I summoned the guards on patrol to ask if they saw any traces of Lyra, but they all said no. I'm furious at them for letting such a tiny piece of information about someone leaving the pack slip by.

My heart races with worry and fear as I search desperately for any sign of her. Every moment without her feels like an eternity. I can't bear the thought of her being out there alone.

Shawn was among the guards on patrol, but I couldn't bring myself to trust him...
