My Claws Were Sharp, But His Love Cut Deeper Novel

0.5 % Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Early the next morning , I went to the shadow guard headquarters to submit my resignation .

Unlike other guards , I was a free wolf .

Simon had once said that whenever I wanted , I could leave .

But I had also said that in this lifetime , I would go nowhere but his side .

Now I was breaking my word .

The Guard Captain looked at me hesitantly : Does the Alpha know about this ? He was the only one who knew about my relationship with Simon , and occasionally he would cover for me , allowing me rest .

Faced with his question , I shook my head bitterly : It doesnt matter .

To Simon , I was just an insignificant subordinate .

Someone would quickly take my place.

And he would soon forget me .

The Captain didnt try to convince me otherwise , only patting my shoulder reassuringly , saying that in three days someone would replace me I just needed to stand my last three shifts .

Upon returning to my quarters , a messenger reported that Simon needed me .

I hurried over , nearly colliding with Lyra Kingston .

This was my first time seeing her truly a graceful , exquisite she wolf .

The difference between us was like night and day ; no wonder Simon preferred her .

Seeing how I almost bumped into her , Simon raised his eyelids coldly : Watch how you walk .

His words stung , and I was about to apologize .

Lyra clutched his arm , pouting playfully : Alpha , Im fine .

Lyra shyly took my hand : Guard Stone , Alpha and I are heading to Moon Valley to see the wildflowers .

Come with us .

As Simons shadow guard , wherever he went , I followed .

Along the way , Lyra chattered excitedly , clinging to his arm , finding everything fascinating .

Simon didnt seem annoyed , patiently conversing with her , a hint of a smile playing on his lips .

I followed a few steps behind , silently watching .

My rank was too low to walk beside him ; I could only observe from a distance , never expecting to stand as his equal .

Ahead , Simon plucked a fallen leaf from her hair , showing her a tenderness Id never witnessed -before .

I looked away dejectedly .

At midday , Lyra called to me : Yara , come join us for lunch ! I respectfully stepped back : That wouldnt be proper .

Simon didnt even look up , putting a pastry in her bowl : Dont bother with her .

These treats will get cold .

Hearing this , Lyra quickly forgot about me .

I didnt persist , finding a quiet spot to eat my cold sandwich .

Just then , disaster struck ! A group of masked attackers appeared from nowhere , their silver edged blades already drawn .

Dust Hic Love Cut Deeper 0.8 % Chapter 2 I leapt forward , positioning myself in front of Simon .

He pushed me aside : Protect Lyra .

If anything happens to her , your life is forfeit .

Before I could react , he had already engaged the attackers .

I carefully guided Lyra away from the fighting .

When a reckless attacker charged toward us , I kicked him away , then dispatched another trying to ambush us from behind .

Blood splattered across Lyras clothes .

Having been sheltered all her life , she had never witnessed such violence .

She screamed in terror , clinging to me tightly .

I couldnt fight properly with her attached to me , and could only dodge attack after attack while protecting her .

An attacker lunged at us , and as I prepared to evade , Lyra suddenly pushed me toward the blade .

Thunk- The knife plunged into my shoulder , the pain making me break into a cold sweat .

I looked at her in shock while Lyra crouched on the ground , covering her head .

Gritting my teeth , I slit the attackers throat .

Just as I was about to collapse , the pack guards finally subdued the remaining attackers .

Simon immediately rushed over , focused entirely on Lyra .

Lyra , are you alright ? Are you hurt ? Lyra threw herself into his arms , sobbing : Alpha , I thought Id never see you again .

Simon kissed her forehead tenderly : Dont be afraid .

Until someone said : Yara , youre wounded .

Only then did I surrender to darkness , passing out .
