Liora’s POV

The knife remained pressed against Rio's throat and my hand didn't shake, my eyes never left his.

For the first time since I had met him, I wasn't confused by him, I wasn't intimidated by him nor was I grateful to him.

I was very angry.

Rio looked genuinely shocked, not by the knife, by me, as if he couldn't believe I was capable of holding a blade to someone's throat.

Maybe he was right.

A few weeks ago, I wouldn't have been. A few weeks ago, I probably would have cried first.

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   Midnight Visitor

    Amarok's POV I was exhausted. The feeling settled deep into my bones and refused to leave.The day had been a lot, but despite all of it, one thought kept returning to my mind.Liora. Specifically, her blood.I sat behind my desk, staring into the dying flames of the fireplace.The three guards lay motionless on the floor before me. Two were already dead but the third was still alive.For now.Cassian stood beside the fireplace with his usual expression of disapproval. He had been unusually quiet for several minutes.That alone told me he was thinking and I already knew what he had on his mind."We should kill her" he said finally. I sighed."I'm nkt surprised you would say that" I said.Cassian folded his arms."You know I'm right.""No, you're not" I argued. His jaw tightened."Amarok."I leaned back in my chair."What?""She's dangerous" he said.I almost laughed."So is everyone in this room.""You know what I mean."I did.Unfortunately for him, I disagreed."You're looking at

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   The Trap

    Alpha Kael’s POV The road blurred beneath my vehicle.Trees, rocks, and shadows rushed past on both sides as I pushed my car faster than I normally would have.I didn't care. Rio's scent was still there, still leading me forward.The trail drifted through the open window, carried by the wind, and every time I caught it, I pressed harder on the accelerator."You picked the wrong day to disappear."The growl left my throat before I realized I had spoken aloud..My phone suddenly rang and I glanced at the screen to see it's Logan.I answered immediately."What?"His tone became serious."The trackers are on the move" he said.Good. That was one less thing to worry about."They're following my coordinates?""Yes."I nodded."How far behind?""About twenty minutes" he replied. That wasn't ideal but it wasn't terrible either."If anything happens, they'll be close enough to respond" he added."Good."A brief silence followed then Logan asked the question I knew was coming."Have you found

A few weeks ago, I probably would have cried first.But now I was tired.Tired of secrets, tired of lies, tired of people making decisions about my life without telling me the truth."Tell me everything," I said.Rio carefully swallowed. The movement caused the blade to press slightly harder against his skin."Liora—""No more excuses."My voice came out colder than I expected."I am not making excuses" he said."Then start talking."His eyes narrowed."I already told you the truth" he said.I laughed bitterly. The sound surprised even me."The tru

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   Reoccurring Words

    Alpha Kael's POV The engine was already running by the time I stepped out of the mansion. Cold evening air brushed against my face.Logan stood beside the vehicle waiting for me and the moment he saw me, he straightened."Everything is ready, Alpha" he said.I nodded. My gaze immediately swept over the black car parked nearby.Logan had clearly anticipated exactly what I would need.Good. I didn't want delays, not when Rio's scent was still fresh.I closed my eyes briefly. Immediately, I could still detect it. It was faint but present.The scent lingered on the air like an invisible trail waiting to be followed.A raised voice suddenly cut through my thoughts and I frowned. The argument was coming from the courtyard entrance.Several wolves nearby had already started pretending not to listen, which usually meant someone was saying something they shouldn't.I recognized Tristan's voice first then Elena's and I immediately groaned.Of course.What else could possibly go wrong tonight?

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   Threat of a Blade

    Rio’s POV For what felt like the hundredth time, I paced across the small holding room.The room wasn't technically a prison cell. There were no bars, no chains, no iron restraints, but the locked door might as well have been all three.I couldn't leave. That was all that mattered.My frustration grew with every passing second."Damn it."I raked a hand through my hair. Everything had gone wrong.The plan had been simple. Find Liora, get her away from the guards, get her back to the estate, avoid unnecessary attention, and most importantly, make sure Amarok never found out.Simple, or at least it should have been. Instead, Liora had decided to make everything ten times harder.I groaned."Stubborn woman."I resumed pacing. The memory of our argument replayed in my mind.I couldn't understand it. I had literally risked my neck for her and I got resistance in return."Unbelievable."I kicked lightly at the leg of the chair as I passed and it wobbled.I immediately regretted it. Now th

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   A Ruined Relaxing Evening

    Elena's POV I had never appreciated peace more than I did that afternoon.The spa pavilion sat on the eastern side of the estate, hidden behind flowering hedges and tall trees that shielded it from the rest of the grounds. Warm sunlight filtered through sheer curtains, painting golden patterns across the polished floors.A gentle breeze carried the scent of lavender and jasmine through the air and soft music played somewhere in the background.For once, I felt relaxed. I felt like I could breathe.I reclined comfortably on a cushioned lounge while several maids attended to me. One was massaging fragrant oils into my shoulders while another worked on my hands.A third stood nearby with a tray of refreshments and I took a sip of chilled fruit juice and sighed happily."This is wonderful."The maids smiled politely then I stretched lazily."You know what makes it even better?"No one answered but I smirked."Liora isn't here" I said.The maids exchanged uncomfortable glances and I notic

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   A Sudden Fear

    Fay's POVI carefully dusted one of the expensive shelves near the wall and caught my reflection in a polished silver ornament.I was smiling again. My cheeks immediately warmed."Oh, Moon Goddess" I muttered then shook my head.This was embarrassing but I couldn't help it. The memory of Rio's voic

    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

  • 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

  • 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
