LOGINElena’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
Liora’s POVI wasn't in the mood for another argument.I had spent the entire day dealing with reporters, Daniel, Alpha Kael, an Alpha challenge, and enough chaos to last me a lifetime.I was exhausted.My body felt heavy, my mind was still trying to process everything that had happened, and there were too many unanswered questions swirling around in my head..I looked at both of them.“If you have something to say, say it quickly” I said impatiently.Elena smiled and it immediately irritated me.It wasn't a friendly smile, it wasn't even a normal smile. It was the kind of smile someone wore when they had already decided they were better than you.“I don't have anything to say” she said.“Good.”I turned toward my room.All I wanted was to get inside, close the door, and forget that anyone else existed for a few hours.Fay followed beside me. She kept glancing at me as though she wanted to ask what had happened between me and Alpha Kael on the drive back.I couldn't blame her, I hadn
Rio’s POVI wasn't ready to face Alpha Kael. The moment one of the guards informed me that he had returned to the estate with Liora, I felt a knot form in my stomach.I had been expecting it, still, knowing it was coming didn't make it any easier.I paced around the room, trying to think of what I would say when he called for me. I had already prepared several explanations but none of them sounded good enough.“He's not going to kill you.”I turned toward Tristan.“I didn't say he was” I said.“You're acting like he is” he replied.I glared at him.“You don't understand.”Tristan leaned against the wall.“Alpha Kael is angry, yes. But he's not going to throw all his anger at you” he reassured me.“You don't know that.”“I do.”He pushed himself away from the wall.“The guards said he returned feeling weak. His injury reopened during the fight with Daniel. The doctor is with him now” he explained.I looked away. That didn't make me feel better. If anything, it made me more worried.Alp
Liora’s POVI remained quiet for the entire journey, not because I had nothing to say.If anything, I had too much to say.My mind was crowded with questions, arguments, and thoughts I didn't know how to arrange. But every time I considered speaking, I remembered Alpha Kael's words about Daniel.I stared through the car window, watching the city slowly disappear behind us. Those words had been repeating in my head for what felt like hours.I hated that they had gotten to me.The worst part was that Alpha Kael hadn't explained anything. He had simply thrown the words at me and then shut down the conversation.Typical Alpha Kael. Always making everything more complicated than it needed to be.I sighed quietly.What could Daniel possibly be hiding?I thought about the short time I had spent with him. I didn't know him that well, that was the truth.I had met him only recently, and most of what I knew about him came from what he had shown me.With Daniel, I hadn't felt like someone's poss
Alpha Kael’s POVI wasn't thinking anymore and that was probably the only reason I was still moving closer to her.If I stopped to think about what I was doing, I knew I would pull away.I would remember the hospital, the wound that continuously kept bitching at me, the fight with Daniel, and the fact that those reporters would certainly carry the news of today to as much height as they could.Everything that had happened in the past few hours would come flooding back tremendously into my head and I didn’t want that, especially not right now.I would remember who Liora was, who I was and all the reasons why this was a terrible idea.So I didn't think, I simply looked at her.Liora was pressed against the car door, staring up at me with those wide, confused eyes.For once, she wasn't arguing, she wasn't challenging me, she wasn't telling me what to do. She was just looking at me and I wanted to kiss her.That was all I wanted at that moment.I didn't want to analyze it, I didn't want t
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
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

Her breathing was uneven, her chest rising and falling beneath the
