MasukLiora’s POVFor the first time since I stepped into this cursed estate, I felt… light, not completely free, but better.My steps were slower than usual as I walked down the long, dimly lit hallway, the soft glow of lanterns flickering against the polished walls. Every movement still carried a faint ache beneath my skin, a reminder of everything that had happened in Kael’s chambers, but tonight, for once, that wasn’t what consumed me.I had done it, I actually had gotten three impossible requests that no one would have dared ask of Alpha Kael Vorthrane and I had not only asked I had won.A small smile tugged at my lips before I could stop it.I thought about the miads first, the way they moved like shadows, like they didn’t exist unless someone summoned them.That would change, it had to, and even if Alpha Kael tried to twist his words later, I wouldn’t let him.Then, my freedom was next. My chest tightened slightly at the thought.No more locked doors, no more feeling like I was bein
Alpha Kael’s POVThe moment Elena’s eyes landed on Liora, I felt a sharp immediate shift.The air between them tightened in a way that was almost tangible, like something invisible had snapped into place.Liora stood behind me, still, composed but I could hear the faint unevenness in her breathing.She was tired, I knew that. I could smell it on her skin, feel it lingering in the room and yet she held herself upright.Elena, on the other hand, was something else entirely, elegant but beneath that was fire.Her gaze lingered on Liora longer than it should have.“What is she doing here?” Elena asked, her voice smooth, but the edge beneath it unmistakable.Liora didn’t answer immediately. Instead she stepped forward slowly and I watched her closely.I knew that look in her eyes.She was about to do something reckless.“She came to speak with me,” I said before Liora could respond.Elena’s gaze flickered to me, then back to her.“In your chamber?” she pressed.There it was, that subtle ch
Liora’s POVI 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 desperately to ignore but I didn’t let it show, not in front of him.I stood there, straight-backed, my chin lifted, pretending that I wasn’t trembling slightly beneath it all, that I hadn’t just been pushed to the very edge of myself and that I was still completely in control.Even if I was barely holding myself together.“You’re still standing there?”His voice cut through my thoughts, low and edged with that familiar irritation.“You haven’t answered me,” I said, my voice steady despite the strai
Alpha Kael’s POVI should have thrown her out. Instead, I stood there, staring, my chest rising and falling heavier than it should have, my pulse still too fast.She was on the floor, disheveled and breathless, her body still trembling faintly from everything that had just happened.And yet, there was something in her expression, something infuriating that made my jaw tighten.She wasn’t broken or crying. She was… looking at me like she she had won.The thought alone sent a sharp wave of irritation through me.My fingers curled slightly at my sides as I exhaled slowly, forcing control back into every inch of myself.No, that wasn’t what happened.Suddenly, something else hit me, almost imperceptible at first.I felt the quiet, the stillness where there should have been something else entirely.My wolf wasn’t clawing at me. It wasn’t pacing restlessly beneath my skin. It was calm.My brows furrowed slightly as I took a slow breath, testing it, feeling it, searching for that familiar e
Liora’s POV I didn’t know when the fear stopped leading and something else took over but suddenly I wasn’t just reacting anymore, I was moving with purpose. My breath came in sharp, uneven bursts as I moved in and out of him, my entire body trembling, not from weakness, but from the overwhelming storm raging inside me.I felt heat, tension followed by something wild and uncontainable all at the same time.I braced myself hand on his muscular shoulders, his skin thick beneath my touch.I could feel him inside me, his monster of a cock solid, powerful, and yet, in that moment I was the one in control.Me and my pussy were in charge.The realization sent a dangerous thrill through me with a spark of something bold.My hands pressed against him instinctively, my balance shifting as I moved, hesitant at first, unsure, my body still adjusting, still trying to understand the intensity of what I was doing.A soft sound slipped from my lips, uncontrolled, unfamiliar even to my own ears."You
Alpha Kael’s POVShe trembled beneath me, her fingers digging into the linen on the bed beneath her.My hands tightened around her hips, my grip firm, unyielding, anchoring her in place as I dictated the rhythm between us. Every movement I made with pushing a few length of my cock inside her was deliberate, my breats swinging to the rthym. I was testing her, pushing her, breaking her down piece by piece just to see where she would finally crack.Her voice spilled into the room again, unsteady, strained, her breath catching in ways she clearly couldn’t control anymore.But beneath it there was something else that didn’t suggest she was exhausted or being defeated. I leaned forward slowly, my chest brushing against her back, my breath ghosting along the curve of her ear.“Give up. You’re already falling apart” I murmured, my voice low but filled with quiet authority. I felt the subtle shift in her body but instead of breaking she shook her head using a small movement.“No.....don’t
Fay’s POVMy feet hurt.That was the first thing I noticed as I stepped into the kitchen. It was the dull, persistent ache that crawled up from my heels into my legs like it had settled there for good.I exhaled slowly, rolling my shoulders as the familiar warmth of the kitchen wrapped around me.“
Rio’s POVThe blindfold pressed tightly against my eyes, rough fabric scraping lightly against my skin every time the car hit a bump.The engine roared beneath me, loud in the enclosed space, the scent of leather, sweat, and something metallic thick in the air.I exhaled slowly through my nose, lea
Liora’s POVThe room felt smaller even though it hadn’t changed. It was the same wide bed, the same tall windows, the same heavy curtains that swallowed light and softened the edges of everything around me but now it pressed in.The walls were too close, the air too thick as I paced back and forth
Alpha Kael’s POVThe estate moved around me in quiet obedience.Footsteps softened, voices lowered and eyes dropped like they always did when I moved through. I preferred it that way.“Report.”The word left my mouth without pause as I continued walking.Beside me, the estate overseer, one of the h
