Beauty in the beast world
Chapter 73: Father

Chapter 73: Father

"I’ll rip them into pieces" Theodore’s chilling voice resounding inside the room.

His chest was burning because of both happiness and despair, he was exhilarated to learn that Iria was still alive but in anguish because she was in the wrong hands. Gregory that scoundrel! he shouldn’t have trusted him in the past. His friendship with him clouded his mind into believing his words.

The only mate that Iria had in her entire life was himself, but because of Gregory’s constant persuasion, both of them decided to let Gregory inside their life. Everything was good until Prescott entered the picture. King of the Tiger tribe, who was madly in love with Iria, to the point of abducting her. After her abduction, it was Gregory’s plan that brought Iria back to him, now that he thought about it, all of that seemed like a perfectly planned out stunt to gain his trust. But the thing that he couldn’t understand was, how he managed to convince Prescott to support his sick ideas of faking Iria’s death.

He needed to investigate, but how? He was no longer the king of the eagle tribe and he didn’t even know if he could believe his tribesmen. He was already tricked by his tribe’s witch master into believing that sapphire of wish worked by exchange of one’s life, which was a lie. Then he turned towards Blake "Why is Gregory trying to exchange Lyra’s soul?"

Blake replied gritting his teeth "The sapphire of wish is something which is supposed to protect its master, so it will never allow your mate’s soul to bypass when she is in the hands of that sick bastard. So he is thinking about forcing the gem to choose between your mate and my Lilly, then obviously the gem will choose to protect its new master and let Iria’s soul out. And if something happens to Lilly’s body after that..." he couldn’t continue his words. Knowing the hate that Gregory had for Theodore, it was obvious that he could harm Lyra after the exchange of soul.

Theodore clenched his fist, he was seeing red at this moment. What did his daughter do this deserve this? What did his mate do to deserve this? Was it because of him? he couldn’t help but think that all this is his fault. Would this situation had not arrived if he tolerated accepting Gregory and Prescott as Iria’s mates? His blue eyes once again fell on Blake, he curiously opened his mouth "You are a powerful beastman, why are you alright with sharing your mate with other males?"

Blake widened his eyes in surprise because of the sudden question but soon replied "It is to keep her safe, it was her fate to have six males as her mates, so I decided to trust the gem. The sapphire of wish chose this destiny for her, and even though I’m irritated, I chose what is best for my Lilly"

"What if she loves you less or stops loving you because of her other males?" Theodore asked raising his brows

"I believe in her love for me" Blake answered in a crystal clear voice leaving Theodore in reverie.

Theodore smiled bitterly, "I never believed in her love for me, I even blamed her for leaving me alone in this world, if only I could go back to the past"

"We cannot change the past no matter how much we try, Let us think about the future" Victor added

Theodore nodded his head, then his anxious eyes met with their eyes "I want to see my daughter"

Blake turned around towards the entrance "Let us leave now"

"Wait" Killian stopped them "Let us go through Kenna’s portal, we should be careful not to alert Gregory or Fox king"

Theodore smiled faintly "You are intelligent"

"I know" Killian agreed and soon created a portal using Kenna’s power.

All of them entered the portal and in a blink of an eye reached the rose garden in front of the castle. Noah who was cleaning the garden retreated witnessing fire, then as he narrowed his eyes, he caught sight of Blake and Victor with two other males.

Blake stepped out of the portal and looked around the garden "Where is Lilly?"

"She is inside" then he curiously glanced at him "Who are they?"

"The one with black hair is Killian and the one with brown hair is Theodore" Victor answered leaving Noah dumbfounded.

Noah glimpsed at both of them and spoke "Killian? My dove’s soulmate?"

"Hmm" Victor replied

Theodore chuckled on the sidelines "Only curious about your love rival?"

Noah turned towards Theodore and smiled awkwardly then gestured to them "Come inside"

"I’ll talk to her first, please stay in the living room until then" Blake informed

Theodore nodded his head in agreement and sat on the stone chair offered by Victor. Soon after, Lucas entered the house holding prey on his shoulders. He stared at the strangers inside and eyed Noah.

Noah understood his confusion and took him out of the castle to explain the situation.

Whereas Blake climbed up the stone stairs to reach Lyra’s room. He nervously made way towards the room and saw Lyra folding the clothes, he glanced at her and opened his mouth "Lilly"

Lyra looked up from her place at the door and smiled "Where were you from the morning?"

"I had some important matters to take care of," He said as he strode towards her. Then he carefully held her hands and stared into her eyes "I want to confess something to you"

Lyra noticed his shivering hands and frowned "What are you so nervous about?"

Blake twisted in his place uncomfortably and bit his lips "I want to reveal all the truth that I have been hiding, but Lilly, Please promise me that you will fully listen to my words and not get upset"

She chuckled "What has gotten into you? Why would I get upset? I’m more than happy that at least you made up your mind to come and talk to me about the secrets that have been going behind my back"

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath "Lilly, you are not from another world"

"Uh?" Lyra said in confusion. This was not the truth that she expected "What do you mean by that Blake?"

Blake looked at her and explained "Your parents from another world, are not your real parents. Your true parents are from the beast world. But circumstances got you separated from them"

Lyra blinked her eyes in a daze trying to comprehend his words. She knew that Blake would not joke about her parents because he knew that she was sensitive about them. But to say that she is from this world? Then she peered at him, ’Was he trying to make sure that I would never leave this world?’ she couldn’t help but think about such things. All her mates were paranoid about her leaving this place, so did they plan this together?

"Blake you know that I would never leave you or this place right? So if you are trying to fabricate something then don’t" she said

Blake smiled bitterly "Do you think I would do something like that Lilly? I know that I’m fearful about you leaving this world, but I would never think about lying to you about something so serious"

Lyra fretted seeing his hurt expression "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said you that" she paused and observed his face and continued "But what you are saying is too hard to believe, You are telling me that my parents are not my real ones, how can I accept that? From the moment I could recognize my surroundings, they have been always with me, loving and protecting me"

Blake sighed, this is the reason for him to contemplate so much about revealing the truth to her. His Lilly loved her parents from another world so much, he sometimes even noticed her mumbling about them in her sleep.

"Lilly, you believe me right?" Blake asked

Lyra nodded her head "Yes I believe you"

"Thank you for believing me, now come with me," he said and took her hand pulling her up from the bed.

Lyra followed after him in confusion and soon they reached the living room. Her eyes darted towards Killian and Victor, then on the stranger with blue eyes as same as her.

Theodore got up from his seat, his eyes softened seeing Lyra "My daughter"
