Chapter 23: Island
"I finally found you, Ly, I missed you" tears flowed from Lucas's eyes.
Lyra was stunned by the sudden hug and didn't know how to react
Lucas continued "Ly I never stopped searching for you, I knew that you would be waiting for me" he couldn't contain his emotions after seeing her and didn't even notice her reluctance in hugging him back.
Lyra was instantly consumed by immense guilt listening to his words. What he said was true, she was indeed waiting for him to find her but after spending more time with Blake she hoped he would never find her, she knew the love males in this world had for their loved ones, they were bound together for a lifetime and she wasn't confident in sharing her love. That would be unfair to both of them.
She pushed him slightly and asked "Thank you for searching for me, I am fine now"
Lucas nodded his head "Now that you are here, let us go back to the wolf tribe. Come" he added pulling her wrist
Lyra halted in her steps and didn't move, seeing her not walking Lucas furrowed his eyebrows "What's wrong Ly?"
Lyra took a deep breath "I'm sorry Lucas, I can't come with you" she lowered her head and continued "I already have a mate, I broke our promise"
Lucas felt his heart clenching. He just wished her to not say those words, he already knew that, but still hoped she was forced into becoming that snake beastman's mate because she had no other choice while living with him, It seems that was not the case. He closed his eyes and calmed himself and put on his cheerful face
