MasukAlpha Kael’s POVThe moment I stepped out of the car, I saw Liora sitting inside that damned coffee shop with Daniel and something inside me snapped.I had spent the entire drive telling myself that I was going there because she was supposed to be under my protection, that Daniel had taken her out without my permission, that there were reporters surrounding them, that Amarok was still out there, waiting for an opportunity to get to her.Those were all perfectly reasonable explanations. But the truth was that I was furious because she was with him, my half-brother.The man who had always had a talent for taking things that didn't belong to him.My jaw tightened as I stared through the glass windows of the coffee shop.Daniel was sitting beside Liora, far too close. She looked uncomfortable, but she was still there with him and he was looking at her with that same irritating ease he had always possessed.Like he owned the room, like nothing in the world could touch him.My hands curled
Liora’s POVThe reporter didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word no, neither did the cameraman.Daniel had already told them to step back several times, yet they continued hovering around our table, throwing one question after another at us."Alpha Daniel, is this woman someone special to you?" She asked. "How long have you two known each other?" "Why have you never been seen with a woman since?" "Is she your girlfriend?"Daniel's jaw tightened."I already told you she's not my girlfriend” he said.The reporter turned toward me."Then who is she?" She asked again.I swallowed, I didn't know what to say. I barely knew how to explain my own life, let alone explain it to a stranger with a microphone shoved in my face.Daniel stepped in front of me again."That's enough” he ordered.The reporter didn't move."We're only asking questions” she said."And I've already answered them.""You're a public figure, Alpha Daniel” she said."That doesn't give you the right to invade my priv
Alpha Kael’s POVI was already dressed, standing in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection while I adjusted the buttons of my black shirt.Every movement pulled at the wound in my side.The pain was still there, deep, sharp and annoying but I refused to let it stop me.I had spent enough time in that hospital bed. I was done.Liora was out there and Daniel was with her. That was all I cared about."Alpha Kael, please, you shouldn't be doing this” she said.I ignored Ruby's voice as I reached for my jacket then slipped it over my shoulders.The movement made pain shoot through my ribs and my jaw tightened but I didn't make a sound.Ruby stepped closer."You've just been discharged from surgery. You need to rest. You can barely move without hurting yourself” she said.I turned around."Then stop watching me move."Ruby immediately went quiet. Elena, who had been standing near the door, exchanged a nervous glance with Ruby.Neither of them said anything for a moment then Elena spo
Liora’s POVA small bell chimed above us and warm air immediately surrounded me, carrying the rich scent of freshly ground coffee, baked pastries, and something sweet that I couldn't identify as we stepped into the cafe.I stopped and my eyes widened."Wow."I slowly turned my head, taking everything in.The coffee shop was beautiful. More like Fancy.The interior had a sophisticated but comfortable appearance. There were dark wooden tables scattered around the room, elegant hanging lights above them, large windows allowing sunlight to spill inside, and shelves lined with different types of coffee beans and expensive-looking equipment.There were also small plants placed around the room, giving the entire place a warm and inviting feeling."This is your coffee shop?" I asked.Daniel smiled."One of them” he answered.I looked at him."How many do you have?" I asked.He shrugged."I don't know."I stared at him."You don't know?""Not exactly” he said."How can you own businesses and n
Liora’s POVI watched Daniel’s fingers move rapidly across the screen. Whatever Alpha Kael had sent him, Daniel clearly wasn't planning on letting me see it.His thumb moved across the screen several times before he finally locked his phone and placed it face down on the center console.My eyes narrowed."What did he say?" I asked.Daniel didn't even look at me."Who?" He asked.I stared at him."Don't do that” I warned."Do what?""Act stupid” I answered.A slow grin appeared on his face."I wasn't aware I was acting” he said."You just got a message from Alpha Kael and you immediately started typing a reply” I said."Very observant” he joked.I rolled my eyes."What did he say?" I asked.Daniel sighed dramatically, as if I had just asked him the most exhausting question in the world."Nothing important” he answered."Then why won't you tell me?" I asked."Because you'll worry” he said.I frowned."I won't.""You will” he argued.I folded my arms across my chest."You don't know me w
Liora’s POVI decided I wasn't going to say a word, not to Daniel about anything throughout this drive to the coffee shop and definitely not about why I had suddenly changed my mind and decided to leave with him.I sat quietly in the passenger seat, my hands resting in my lap as I stared through the window.The estate disappeared behind us.For the first few minutes, I didn't even look at Daniel. I simply watched the scenery change.The familiar roads slowly became busier as we approached the city. Buildings replaced trees, cars filled the streets, people moved along the sidewalks, living their ordinary lives.There was something strangely peaceful about watching them. They had no idea about the chaos happening behind the walls of the estate.They didn't know about Alpha Kael, they didn't know about Amarok, they didn't know about my blood and they didn't know that I had just walked out of an estate where everyone seemed to have an opinion about what I should do.For once, I was simply
I still remember the smell of smoke, thick and chocking, curling into my lungs, and the sound of my mother’s screams echoing through the house as she was slaughtered along with my father for trusting the wrong people.Though it has been a long time since that night, it is burned into me as if it ha
The Alpha Losing ControlKael’s POV“Your blood… shouldn’t exist.”The words left my mouth before I could stop them.For a moment, silence settled between us.Liora stared at me as if I had spoken a language she did not understand. Her breathing was uneven, her chest rising and falling beneath the
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
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
