Lyra's POV:
We had a nice and simple meal. Breakfast with Alpha Damien almost felt like a date as he was behaving so gentlemanly. I thought that Alphas were usually pompous and arrogant, but Alpha Damien proved me wrong.
"I envy you," I said as I stared at him. "You seem to have no care in the world, and you already discovered that you were special a long time ago, so that makes you pretty awesome and chill"
He laughed at my statement. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that I said something really funny.
"You think because I live freely and don't look depressed, then I haven't gone through pain. Well Lyra, I have seen pain. More gut-wrenching pain than you can ever imagine. I just keep a sunny disposition to prevent me from failing in my duties as an Alpha to my pack"
The truth will set you free, but first, it will make you face your darkest fears.
