The Night She Takes One of Us Lyra's POV "We will not die for her." The words echoed in my head and I stood there frozen, watching them leave, one by one and no one stopped them. No one moved and the doors closed behind them. My chest felt tight, it was like something broke inside me. Darius then stood still, his face was hard and unreadable and then Kael looked at me, then at the door and then back at me. "This is getting worse," he said but I did not answer because I knew and I felt it. The pack was breaking and I was at the center. The woman who spoke against me smiled a little, like she just won something. "You see?" she said. "This is only the beginning." Darius then turned to her. "If you say one more word.." "I will speak," she cut in.
