Kessler's POV Lyra left me conflicted.I had never felt this way in all my life.I paced back and forth in my office,uncertain about how to process what had transpired with Lyra. "She has shadow power,"I muttered to myself,the words heavy with implications of dark or occult forces."Why can't my life be less complicated?"I groaned loudly,feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of the situation. Running a hand through my hair in frustration.How could I steer this new revelation while fulfilling my responsibilities as Alpha King? My beta,Zach,interrupted my thoughts."Can you please stop pacing?You're making me nervous." I glanced at him,my expression carrying a warning that if he hadn't been my friend since childhood,I would have taken him by the throat and squeezed it. Taki
