Chapter 12
Lyra's POV
Ethan is in another round of meetings with the senior Pack members.
I walk past his desk with a tray. Coffee. Lemon water. Those little biscuits he likes.
This is what the woman of the house does, isn't it? Replaces his cup when it goes cold. Adjusts the lights to just the right level. Sets everything he might need within reach.
In one short month, I've done what she didn't do in seven years.
The next second, his screen lights up.
A message notification. The sender column says Sora.
I'm pregnant. Please come.
I stand there for three seconds. Something stirs in my chest.
There she goes again. The same routine. Wounded Sora. Sora who needs to be seen. Please come, Ethan. Please look at me.
Seven years. She never learned one thing. He won't come.
Every singl
