Liora’s POV

I was exhausted, not just physically but emotionally.

The kind of exhaustion that settled into your bones, that made every movement feel heavier than it should, that turned even the simple act of standing into something that required effort.

My body ached, a slow, lingering soreness that pulsed quietly beneath my skin, reminding me of everything that had just happened.

Every breath I took felt slightly uneven, every shift of my weight sent a faint ripple through me that I tried desp

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   My Secret

    Liora’s POVI hadn't even heard Alpha Kael enter.One moment, I was standing with Daniel, still trying to understand everything that had happened between us, and the next, I felt the atmosphere around us change.Daniel's expression shifted first then I turned around to see Alpha Kael was walking toward us.I didn't need to ask what was wrong. The way he walked said enough.His shoulders were tense, his jaw was clenched, and his eyes were fixed on the space between Daniel and me.He clearly didn't appreciate how close we were standing.I barely had time to react before Alpha Kael reached us. His hand wrapped around my waist, and he pulled me toward him.I stumbled slightly against his chest.“Alpha Kael—”“Stay away from her” he said.His voice was directed at Daniel who stared at him.“I don't remember you giving me orders” he replied .“I just did.”I looked between them.“Can we please not do this again?” I admonished.Alpha Kael ignored me. Instead, he tightened his arm around me.

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   Sudden Call

    Daniel’s POVAfter excusing myself from Liora, I stared at the name on my phone for a few seconds before answering.Seeing Amarok's name immediately made me uneasy.After everything that had happened, I knew better than to trust him completely. Amarok had a way of speaking that made everything sound reasonable, even when I knew there was something dangerous underneath his words.Still, I answered.“What do you want?” I asked.There was a brief silence on the other end then Amarok chuckled softly.“Straight to the point. I like that about you” he said.“I don't have time for games.”“I know. That's why I'm calling” he revealed.I leaned against the wall and glanced toward the garden entrance. Liora was still there with me, watching me carefully. She hadn't said anything, but I could tell she was wondering who had called.I turned slightly away from her.“What happened?” I asked.“Rio is becoming a problem” he said.I frowned.“That's hardly news.”“No. You don't understand.” Amarok's

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   Until the End of the Week

    Rio’s POVI loved the look on Alpha Kael's face.For the first time since I had known him, I could see genuine shock in his eyes.He was still holding me against the wall, his hand around my neck, but I didn't care.I had gotten through to him, that was all that mattered.Alpha Kael had always believed that no one could challenge him, not his enemies, not his rivals and certainly not me.But now he was looking at me differently. He was beginning to understand that I wasn't the obedient Beta he had once trusted.I smiled faintly.“You look surprised.”His eyes narrowed.“Don't push me” he warned.“I’m only telling you the truth” I said.“You threatened me.”“I warned you” I corrected.His grip tightened but I didn't flinch.“You're doing this because of Liora,” he said.I shook my head.“No” I answered.He gave me a cold look.“You expect me to believe that? You're a snake, Rio” he spat at me.I ignored the insult.“I care about you” I said.He laughed bitterly.“No, you don't.”“I car

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   Don't Come Back

    Liora’s POVI couldn't believe Daniel had kissed me. He had actually kissed me and not somewhere private, not somewhere nobody could see us.He had kissed me right in front of Rebecca, his deranged ex who was obviously still in love with him.That took a crazy amount of guts.I stood there completely frozen, staring at him as my mind tried to catch up with what had just happened.Daniel slowly pulled away and as his eyes met mine, neither of us spoke then Rebecca exploded.“What the hell was that?”Her voice snapped me out of my shock then Daniel turned toward her.“Rebecca—” he started but she raised her hand to his face to stop him from talking.“No!” She pointed at me. “You actually did that in front of me? You kissed this common girl in front of me?”Daniel frowned.“I don't owe you anything” he said.“You slept with me yesterday!” She screamed for the 100th time.Okay we get, you guys hand sex. Stop saying it everytime you’re angry. It was getting annoying at this point.“And I a

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   The Threat

    Alpha Kael’s POV I was making my way toward the room where I had left Rebecca and Liora when I saw Rio coming toward me. The moment our eyes met, I already knew he wanted something but I didn't have time for him. My only concern was finding Liora. Rebecca was dangerous. I knew her better than most people in this estate did, and I didn't trust her around Liora for even a second. Whatever Rebecca wanted, I knew it wasn't innocent. I had warned Liora about her for a reason. I continued walking. “Alpha Kael” he called and I stopped. Rio approached me. “We need to talk” he said. I looked at him. “Not now.” “This is important” he insisted. “So is what I'm doing” I replied. I continued walking and Rio's voice stopped me. “It's about Liora.” My jaw tightened then slowly turned back. “What about her?” I asked. “I don't approve of what you're doing with her” he said. I stared at him and wondered if I had heard him correctly. “You don't approve?” “No.” I almost laughed. “

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   The Wrong Decision

    Liora’s POV Daniel didn't stop walking until we reached a quiet corner of the garden. The moment we were far enough away from the others, I pulled my hand away from his. “What was that?” I demanded as I tried to catch my breath. He turned to me. “What?” “You just dragged me away from Fay without explaining anything” I said. Daniel ran a hand through his hair. “I know, I’m sorry” he apologized. “Then explain.” He looked away and surprisingly, he didn't look confident. He looked confused, almost lost, which was weird. I crossed my arms. “Daniel? I’m waiting” I said impatiently. He sighed. “My life has been crazy lately.” I blinked. This was starting off interesting. “Okay.” He laughed quietly. “I know that sounds ridiculous, but it’s true” he said. He leaned against a nearby pillar. I didn't say anything as he stared at the ground. “I've made a lot of bad decisions and one of them was Rebecca. I really loved Rebecca” he admitted. That caught me off guard. I didn't

  • Alpha Vorthrane's Pet   The Alpha’s Hunger

    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

  • 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

    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
