MasukLiora’s POVBy the time evening arrived, I had spent enough time wondering what Alpha Kael wanted with me to make myself nervous.The guard’s words kept replaying in my head.“Alpha Kael requested your presence later in the evening.”That was it, no further explanation to give me an insight to prepare me or even a reason for being called. I had been given nothing but an order.I had considered refusing several times.After everything that had happened lately, I wasn't exactly eager to walk into Alpha Kael's room voluntarily. Especially after the way he had acted in the car.But Fay had been very clear about it when she saw the look on my face as the time to meeting with Alpha Kael drew closer."Don't do it, Liora” she had warned.I had stared at her."Don't do what?" I asked innocently, as if I didn’t already understand what she was saying."Don't step on Alpha Kael's toes anymore" she clarified.I had frowned."I don't think I'm stepping on his toes” I said.Fay gave me a look."Lio
Amarok’s POVI had expected Daniel to be difficult.Men like Daniel did not usually walk into a conversation with a stranger and willingly accept whatever they were told. They questioned everything, they searched for weaknesses, and they looked for hidden motives even when there were none.Daniel had every reason to be suspicious of me, that was why I had been careful.I didn't tell him everything. Instead, I gave him enough truth to make him question the things he already believed.That was always more effective than forcing someone to accept a new truth.You didn't have to destroy their beliefs, you only had to make them doubt them and it worked.We sat across from each other in the quiet corner of the restaurant, our conversation stretching far longer than I had expected. What was supposed to be a short meeting had turned into something almost comfortable.Daniel asked questions, I answered, then he asked more."I want Liora out of Alpha Kael's control” I said.Daniel's expression
Liora’s POV I had barely closed the door before Fay turned toward me and told me to tell her everything.I sat beside her then started from the beginning.I told her about Daniel taking me to his café, I told her about the reporters, I explained how uncomfortable I had been when they started asking questions about me.I told her how Alpha Kael had arrived, how he had punched Daniel, how Daniel challenged him, how the fight had started and finally, I told her about Rebecca.Fay listened without interrupting and by the time I finished, she was staring at me with a strange expression.“What?”She shook her head.“I'm just processing all of this” she said then looked at me. “I can see why you’re worried”I frowned.“I'm not worried” I said. “I just don't trust Rebecca.”“You're worried about Daniel” she said.I didn't answer then she sighed.“Liora, Daniel is a grown man. He can make his own decisions.”“I know” I said.“If he wants to spend time with Rebecca, that's his choice and if th
Daniel’s POV I still didn't know what to make of the man standing in front of me.Yet he had somehow managed to find me in a parking garage, with two guards standing beside my car as though they had been waiting for me.That alone was enough to make me cautious.I studied him for a few seconds. He didn't look nervous, he didn't look aggressive either. There was just something strangely calm about him.I didn't trust him, not even slightly, but I wanted to know what he wanted.“Fine,” I said. “Where do you want to talk?”“There is a restaurant nearby” he replied.I hesitated. Everything about the situation felt strange.A man I had never met had approached me in a parking garage and asked me to follow him to a restaurant.Under normal circumstances, I would have refused. But I had a feeling that whatever he wanted to say involved my family and I wanted answers.“Lead the way” I said.We left the parking garage and I followed him to a restaurant a few minutes away.It wasn't particular
Elena’s POVI couldn't stop thinking about the look on Liora's face.The moment I mentioned Rebecca's name, something had changed in her expression.It had been subtle, but I noticed the slight widening of her eyes, they way her face became tense, the hesitation before she asked me what I knew about Rebecca.Liora had tried to hide it, but she wasn't very good at hiding her emotions.She was worried, that much was obvious and judging by the fact that Daniel had not returned with them, I could make a fairly simple guess.Daniel had gone with Rebecca.I smiled to myself as I walked back around my room.Maybe things were finally beginning to work in my favor.If Daniel had actually become interested in her, then maybe I wouldn't have to do anything at all. If he wanted her, perhaps he would take her away and if Liora left this estate with Daniel, my life would become much easier.My maids entered my room and I immediately felt more relaxed.One of them placed a tray of snacks on the sma
Daniel’s POV I stared at myself in the mirror as I buttoned my shirt and for several seconds, I didn't recognize the man staring back at me. My hair was slightly messy, my shirt was wrinkled, and there was a look in my eyes that I didn't like. It was most probably regret. I had spent the entire time telling myself I was done with Rebecca, I had told her that our past belonged in the past, I had told her I wanted to move on. And somehow, I had ended up doing the exact opposite. I pulled my shirt straight and reached for my jacket and behind me, Rebecca remained on the bed, watching me. She looked completely comfortable, almost too comfortable, as though nothing about what had just happened bothered her. I couldn't say the same about myself. I didn't want to be here. That was the only thought running through my mind. I wanted to leave, I wanted to get in my car, drive somewhere quiet, and forget this entire thing had happened. Most importantly, I wanted to stop thinking about
Alpha Kael's POVThe fire’s warmth did nothing to chase the chill that had settled into my chest. She knelt there, slick with oil, the faint scent of jasmine clinging to her skin. The linen she wore was thin, clinging to her body, leaving nothing to the imagination. Every curve, every swell, ever
Liora's POVMy skin tingled as the maids’ hands glided over me, spreading oil down my shoulders, across the slope of my collarbone, over the curve of my breasts, down my ribs and over my waist. Their touch was careful, almost timid, as if I were a fragile artifact rather than a living woman.The s

Liora’s POV“She is dangerous.”Alpha Kael’s voice followed me like a shadow as the guards dragged me from the room.My feet barely touched the floor as they hauled me through the doorway, their grips iron-tight around my arms. The heavy doors slammed shut behind us with a thunderous boom that ech
