Lyra POV
“So,” I say, “how did you come to be in that cage in the first place?”
“I told you,” he says.
He’s only half paying attention to me because he’s ripping into the deer meat with his teeth.
“My alpha put me in there.”
“Because?”
He rolls his eyes.
“He’s a dumbass.”
“If that’s true, then how did he get to be alpha?”
“You were part of a pack once, weren’t you?” he asks. “You said you knew about asshole alphas.”
“Yeah, but there’s a difference between an asshole and a dumbass.”
“Now you’re splitting hairs.”
“My alpha didn’t lock me in a cage.”
No need to admit that he tried to kill me. There are all kinds of things about the night of my mating ceremony that I don’t really feel like sharing with Cassian.
He looks at the piece of meat in my hand. It’s more than I nee
