ANMELDENAlpha Kael’s POVI had expected many things when my guards returned with the culprit. But Vesha was not part of any of the scenarios I had created.I stared at the woman kneeling before me, struggling against the guards who held her arms.I honestly hadn't expected her to be the culprit.Vesha had always been quiet. She rarely involved herself in unnecessary arguments, and although I knew she wasn't particularly fond of Liora, I had never considered her dangerous enough to attempt murder.Apparently, I had underestimated her."The poison was discovered in your chambers," I said coldly.Vesha's eyes widened."That is impossible, Alpha!" She said.I watched her carefully.Her face was pale, and her breathing was uneven. She looked genuinely terrified, but fear wasn't proof of innocence. Plenty of guilty people had trembled before me, and I had learned a long time ago that tears meant very little when someone's life was on the line."Explain how the poison ended up in your room, then” I
Rio’s POVI waited until Daniel disappeared through the doors before stepping out of my hiding place.I stepped into the open, straightened my jacket, and smiled."Well, well, well. That was quite a performance” I said.Rebecca, who had turned to her receptionist and was reaching for a file, froze.She slowly lifted her head.The moment her eyes settled on me, her expression changed from mild surprise to unmistakable irritation."What are you doing here?" She asked.I chuckled."Is that how you welcome a visitor? I thought you would be pleased to see someone who appreciates your work” I said."I don't recall inviting you into my office” she shit at me."Fortunately, I didn't need an invitation” I replied.Her eyes narrowed."Congratulations, Rebecca," I said, pulling out a chair and sitting down without waiting for permission. "I must say, I'm impressed. You've managed to corner Daniel in a way even his business rivals might struggle to achieve."She dropped the file onto her desk."G
I had never been so terrified in my entire life.Standing inside the doctor's chamber with Ruby beside me, I struggled to keep my face composed while Alpha Kael's threat replayed in my head.I had only wanted Liora gone, I wanted her out of the estate, away from Alpha Kael, and out of our lives. I had never expected things to become this complicated.Ruby shifted beside me, and when I glanced at her, I noticed that her hands were trembling.She looked as frightened as I felt."What are we going to do?" she whispered, barely moving her lips.I forced myself to keep my gaze on Alpha Kael, who stood near the bed. His attention was fixed on Liora, who lay unconscious, her face frighteningly pale.Fay sat beside her, holding her hand and speaking to her in a desperate, trembling voice.The doctor was preparing another injection while an assistant searched through his medical supplies.Nobody seemed to know whether Liora would survive. "Alpha Kael," Ruby suddenly said, stepping forward. "
Daniel stared at Rebecca as though she had suddenly grown another head.For several seconds, he couldn't find the words to respond. He had expected her to demand an apology, ask him to return to her, or perhaps insist that he prove his feelings had never changed. He had even prepared himself for another round of her usual manipulations.But marriage? Was she out of her mind?"You're joking, right?" Daniel finally asked, letting out a short, humorless laugh. "Please tell me this is some terrible joke, Rebecca."Rebecca remained perfectly composed, looking at him as though she had just proposed something perfectly reasonable."I'm not joking, Daniel. I'm asking you to marry me” she said.He stared at her in disbelief."You deliberately sabotaged my companies, threatened the livelihoods of thousands of people, and now you expect me to marry you as a reward for your little performance?" His voice grew colder with every word. "Have you completely lost your mind?"Rebecca's expression tigh
Elena’s POV“Stop looking so nervous, Ruby.”I glanced at Ruby walking beside me as we made our way toward the doctor's chamber. She immediately straightened her shoulders and forced a smile onto her face.“I'm not nervous” she lied.“Then stop looking like you're on your way to a funeral” I shot at her.Ruby glanced around quickly, checking whether anyone had heard her before lowering her voice.“I'm just saying that this entire situation is becoming dangerous. Liora collapsed in front of everyone. What if the doctor discovers what happened to her?” She asked.“He won't discover anything that leads back to me” I reassured her.“You can't know that” she replied.I exhaled sharply.“Just remember,” I told Ruby, “we're worried about Liora and came to see whether she's all right. That's all.”Ruby nodded.“And if Alpha Kael asks questions?” She asked.“Then we answer them” I said.“What if he doesn't believe us?” She asked.I turned toward her.“Then we make sure he has no reason to susp
Rio’s POVI stepped out of the elevator and straightened my jacket, taking a moment to admire the impressive reception area of Swan Strategic Holdings.Rebecca certainly knew how to spend money.The polished marble floors, glass walls, expensive furniture, and enormous company logo displayed behind the reception desk all screamed wealth. Employees moved through the lobby with their phones pressed to their ears, while others hurried toward the elevators with folders tucked beneath their arms.It was the kind of place where everyone seemed important. And I intended to make sure they understood that I was no exception.I approached the reception desk, where a young woman sat typing on her computer.“I need to see Rebecca Swan” I said.The secretary looked up.“Do you have an appointment, sir?” She asked.I almost laughed.“Do I look like someone who needs an appointment?”Her expression remained professional.“I'm afraid I cannot allow anyone into Miss Swan’s office without an appointme
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
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
