Chapter 8 ~Grayson~

Grayson was scared, what exactly was happening? His mind wasn't at peace so was he. He was worried about Lyra and as she laid on the bed, she thought of the things going through his head and how he viewed her now.

"Please Nurse, check her. She was having nightmares and when I gave her water she suddenly vomited"

That was a surprise, Lyra thought to herself. Rowan immediately rushed inside. She held Lyra by the hand. Lyra could feel her uneasiness and how she was worried about her.

"What is the problem?" -Rowan asked, she sounded really sad.

"Rowan, let her rest for now" -Rosalind said from behind.

For some reason, Lyra was not at ease on how Rosalind looked at her. After Grayson explained everything, Rosalind had been staring at her with glances that could kill. She was old enough and she knew very well what all these signs revealed.

Grayson was still feeling concerned but he stood still looking at Lyra. His mind flashed to what she said but he didn't want to assume just yet. But he was worried about her and then, Ragnar came inside, he bent his head trying to relay a message to the Alpha king.

Grayson went out with Ragnar in a hurry, it looked like it was for a business matter. Lyra was a bit glad he wouldn't be here to hear it for himself that she was pregnant with another man's child.

Her mind flashed back to when he saw her in that state after crying-

"My King" - Lyra said gently

"What did you say?" -Grayson asked, looking worried with his face still fixed on her belly.

"Uhm.." she muttered, not knowing what to say as her eyes darted around.

"Why don't I call the nurse for you? You don't seem to be fine"

"No, my King. I'm very fine."

He helps her out from the toilet and sits her down. He goes out of her room. Lyra wonders what he is about to do. To call the guards for her arrest, maybe.

"I'm very sure, he heard me call out to my child. What have I done?" -she said as her hands continued shaking.

He comes inside with a nurse.

"Please check her...."

Her mind flashes back and she looks at the nurse giving her a wild stare.

"Nurse, thank you for your help. I'll take it from here" -Rosalind said, not letting her speak.

Rosalind looked like she knew everything but Lyra turned away from her and rested lying opposite from Rosalind.

Horses neigh loudly and come to an abrupt halt in front of a house. The pack members quickly scatter, retreating to their homes to avoid the king's gaze.

"What is happening?" Emery said as she rushed out of the house.

She sees a group of enforcers lined up. Then a tall huge man in a black robe which indicated his rulership stepped down. The guards bowed to him and when she got sight of him, she left her mouth open in surprise and ran inside calling out to her father.

"Father! The Lycan king of Dunson's Pack is here, in our household"
