"Xavier killed me?" Blake asked just to make sure. Her words were making sense and not making sense at the same time. "Why would he kill me? What did he have anything to do with us?"
Lyra had to take a moment to answer that. She never wanted to reveal this, but it was unfair to hide things from him. Xavier killed him, and the reason for that was herself. Telling it out loud was harder than she had thought: "Xenon and I loved each other before I decided to marry you and become your mate." Although she didn't know if he truly loved her with all those lies and the way he hurt her. No one does that to someone they love.
Blake genuinely didn't know what to say. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you still...?"
"God no!" Lyra cut him off before he could finish what he was about to say. It was repulsive even to think about her past with Xenon. "He is a monster, Blake."
