Chapter 10. I'm Only Human

Lyra POV

Confusion overwhelms me, and I don’t know what to do.

My entire body erupted in warm, electric shivers when the Alpha King’s hand brushed against mine. That, and the way his gaze penetrated straight into my soul, had my heart thumping so hard I could almost hear it.

Then, he ran out, as soon as his mother was in the hands of the doctor, which I suppose they call a healer here.

I’m not sure how I managed to stand back out of the way, but I can barely feel my legs now the way those strange trembles are still rumbling through my body.

There’s another feeling that I just don’t understand, the burning ache coiled around every nerve as he sprinted out the door. The sensation has calmed now, but only slightly, still lingering and causing my hands to quiver.
