Rio’s POV

The entire hallway smelled like blood, even after the body had been dragged away and the servants had rushed to scrub the marble floors clean.

The scent still lingered faintly in the air, sharp and metallic beneath the expensive perfumes drifting through the estate.

I hated this.

Not the guard being dead, I honestly didn’t care about him. What bothered me was Amarok.

That bastard was serious now and that meant I needed to move faster.

Much faster.

I leaned lazily against one of the pi

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   Through the Smoke

    Liora's POVFor several long seconds, I couldn't see anything. The explosion had left my ears ringing so loudly that every other sound seemed distant and distorted.Dust filled the air, smoke drifted through the courtyard and broken pieces of stone and wood littered the ground around us.The bright lights that had been pointed at us moments ago now flickered erratically, some lying shattered on the floor while others cast strange shadows through the haze.I coughed and my eyes watered. Everything around me felt unreal."What... happened?" I muttered.I pushed myself onto my hands and knees. The ground beneath me felt rough while my head still hurt from being knocked unconscious earlier.The combination of that headache and the explosion was making it difficult to think clearly.All around me, guards were shouting, some sounded injured while others sounded confused.Nobody seemed to know what was happening.I blinked several times and tried to focus then slowly, shapes began emerging t

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   A Dangerous Question

    Alpha Kael's POVAmarok's words echoed through my mind like a curse. Every repetition made my jaw tighten further, every repetition made my temper worsen and every repetition made me want to put my fist through the nearest wall, or through Amarok's face.The fact that he had sounded so calm when he said it only made it worse.As though the memory pleased him.The thought alone sent another wave of anger through me and I clenched my fists hard.The muscles in my forearms tightened, my nails dug into my palms and still it wasn't enough.Across from me, Amarok remained completely composed, watching me, like a predator observing another predator.He knew exactly what he had done, I could see it in his eyes and he was enjoying every second of it.The realization made my blood boil while a small smile tugged at the corner of Amarok's mouth.I started walking toward him. Every step echoed through the corridor and the atmosphere changed instantly.The guards noticed then fear spread across se

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   Cracks in the Story

    Liora's POVEvery second that passed felt like standing on the edge of a cliff while hoping the ground wouldn't crumble beneath my feet.The guards stood around us in a tight circle, weapons ready, expressions tense.Bright lights continued shining directly at us, some were aimed at my face, others at Rio and Fay.The beams were so intense that my eyes kept watering whenever I looked directly toward them.Nobody looked comfortable, not even the guards. That was the only thing giving me hope.They were uncertain, confused, unsure what Amarok would want them to do and right now, uncertainty was keeping us alive.Sabrina, unfortunately, wasn't helping at all."What's wrong with all of you?" She demanded. She threw her hands into the air dramatically."Kill them!"Several guards exchanged nervous looks but nobody moved. Sabrina looked personally offended by this."I gave you an order!"Sabrina looked ready to explode, meanwhile, I focused on the guards, trying to read their expressions,

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   The Wrong Answer

    Alpha Kael's POVSomething was very wrong and the longer I stood in front of Amarok, the more convinced I became.The man was hiding something.The guards watched nervously from a distance. Nobody seemed eager to become involved in whatever was happening between Amarok and me.A wise decision because I was running out of patience.I folded my arms."You know something" I said.Amarok's expression remained unreadable."I know many things" he replied. "About Liora" I clarified. A flicker appeared in his eyes, almost invisible but I saw it.Amarok smiled faintly."I don't know what you're talking about" he said.I took a step forward and several guards immediately tensed."What do you know?" I demanded. Amarok tilted his head slightly."What exactly are you asking?"I hated answers like that. They were designed to waste time, to frustrate people, to avoid giving useful information and unfortunately for him, I was already frustrated."What makes her so important to you? What are you pl

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   Buying Time

    Liora's POVThe first thing I noticed was the pounding in my head, the second thing I noticed was the noise and somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, a familiar female voice screaming loudly enough to make my headache worse.I groaned.My eyelids felt heavy, every part of my body felt strangely sluggish and for several moments, I couldn't remember what had happened.Suddenly, pieces of memory returned and my eyes snapped open.That bastard had knocked me unconscious.Anger immediately surged through me then I tried to sit up and nearly collided with Fay."Liora! Oh thank goodness"£ her voice was filled with relief.I blinked several times as the world slowly came into focus and unfortunately, it wasn't a pleasant sight.There was far too many bright lights from powerful beams pointed directly at us from every direction."What's happening?" I asked.Fay helped steady me, her grip tightened around my arm."We have a problem" she said. I looked around then immediately regretted ask

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   The Price of Defiance

    Alpha Kael's POVThe corridor looked like a battlefield, which, admittedly, was exactly what it had become.Several unconscious guards were scattered throughout the hallway, groaning or completely motionless. Others had dragged themselves into corners, unwilling to continue fighting.The smell of sweat, fear, and blood hung heavily in the air and standing in the center of it all was me.I glanced around the corridor and almost laughed. Not a single guard was willing to approach me anymore.A few minutes ago they had rushed me confidently, now they couldn't even maintain eye contact.One guard shifted nervously when my gaze landed on him while another immediately looked away.A third actually took a step backward and I smirked."Cowards" I said.The word echoed through the hallway and several guards visibly flinched.I rolled my shoulders. The important thing was that I had delayed them, long enough for Rio, Fay, and Liora to reach the gate.At least, that was the plan. Hopefully Rio h

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   Prologue

    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

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   Waiting for Judgment

    Fay's First Person POV"No!"The word ripped out of my throat before I could stop it. The moment the guards started moving toward me again, pure panic exploded inside my chest.I took several hurried steps backward as my eyes darted around the room desperately.There had to be a way out to escape b

One moment, she was glaring at me with that same infuriating defiance, her eyes burning, lips trembling but still stubbornly moving, and the next, her body gave out completely.If I hadn’t caught her, she would've landed hard on the ground but my arm move

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   The Alpha’s Claim

    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
