Chapter 258

Cyra

The plan was simple. Everyone would be out of sight and we’d wait for Stellan to arrive. We have Lila’s warning but can’t know for sure that she was telling the truth. However, if she was, we’ll need this proof for the Council. It will be better to catch Stellan actually trying to force himself on me.

Understandably, Yorick isn’t keen on the idea, but as Alpha Nevaeh and Alpha Michael said, he is now connected to my mind. He will know when it’s time to rush in.

Tracker and Raptor quickly set up recording devices in my room so that they can see and watch everything that happens. There will be no way for Stellan to get out of this.

I’m right here,‘ Yorick says for the hundredth time in my head.

I want you right here,‘ I say, sending him an image of us earlier along with the feeling of my mouth attached to his neck and his body inside of mine when we were interrupted.

He groans in the mind link and some of the tension in him shifts like I was hoping it would.

I can’t even say that I’ll pick up where we left off once he’s gone. We have to go deal with your father.’

“Maybe we should plan to spend a few nights at my pack. We can christen my school–girl bed at home,‘ I say, making him groan even more.

I’m pretty sure we’ll be spending more than one night in your pack and that innocent bed won’t know what hit it,’ he growls, just as my phone rings.

I look at the caller ID.

“It’s Stellan,” I say out loud.

I take a deep breath, grounding myself. Then I answer, making sure my voice sounds like I was just woken up.

“Stellan, it’s the middle of the night. What’s wrong?”

“Cyra, I’m here at the Academy. I need to talk to you right away. Open your door and let me in.”

“What’s going on, Stellan?” I ask, walking to the door.

“Just open the door.”

I do and see him walking down the hall. He looks intent.

“Stellan, what…?” I begin before he pushes me back into my room and closes the door.

“Your time is up, Cyra,” he says to me.

“What are you talking about?”

“I was hoping to give you a year. Hell, I was hoping to be able to give you back to your fated mate after you gave me an heir, but all that has changed. I need your pack and I need it now. So we can do this one of two ways. You can agree and we’ll mark and mate now, or you can

make it hard and I’ll still take what’s mine.”

I hear Yorick growl in my head at that.
