LOGINAlpha 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. “
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
Rio’s POVAfter breakfast, I returned to my room and shut the door behind me.I had spent enough time around everyone pretending that everything was fine when it wasn't.Daniel was becoming a very serious problem.At first, I had thought he would eventually leave.He had his own life, his own businesses, his own empire. There was no reason for a man like Daniel to remain in an estate where he clearly wasn't wanted.But somehow, he had stayed and now he was getting closer to Liora.That was something I couldn't allow.I paced around my room, thinking about the best way to get rid of him.I didn't need to fight Daniel, I didn't need to threaten him. I only needed to give him a reason to go and I knew exactly what that reason could be.Daniel cared about his businesses.I had watched him talk about his companies before. He took pride in everything he had built. His businesses weren't just sources of money, they were part of his identity.If something happened to his business empire, he w
Daniel’s POVAfter my conversation with Kael, I didn't want to see anyone. I needed time to process everything he had said because, honestly, I was still angry.I hated how easily Kael talked about her as though she belonged to him, I hated the confidence in his voice when he told me to stay away from her and I hated the fact that his warning had actually gotten under my skin.I walked through the garden until I found a quiet area away from the main table. I sat down and leaned back, staring at the trees ahead of me.Liora was Kael's. At least, that was what everyone kept saying.She had been brought into this estate because of what her parents had done to our family. She was supposed to be nothing more than a part of Kael's revenge.Yet somehow, she had become something else neither of us had expected and now Kael was sleeping with her.The thought irritated me more than it should have.I rubbed my face.“This is ridiculous,” I muttered.I shouldn't care, I had no reason to care. Lio
Liora’s POVI stood up from my chair and looked at Rebecca. There was no need staying here, especially after we were now just talking about unnecessary things.She had already said she wanted to and I had heard enough.“I think I'm going to leave now” I said.Rebecca raised an eyebrow.“Already?”I nodded.“I don't think there's anything else for us to talk about” I said.There was an awkward silence between us.After everything she had told me, I honestly didn't know what else I was supposed to say.She had come here, told me she had slept with Daniel, and made it very clear that she wanted me to know he was no longer available.I understood the message and I wasn't going to sit there and give her the satisfaction of seeing me react.Rebecca eventually stood as well.“That's fine. I'll be leaving too” she said.I nodded.She picked up her bag before adding casually.“I just need to see Daniel first” she said.I looked at her.“I don't care” I replied.The words came out quickly and R
Alpha Kael’s POVI stood in the garage with Logan and two of my guards, staring at the small tracking device sitting on the workbench.It was barely noticeable. That was what made it dangerous.Logan had discovered it while he was doing routine maintenance on one of the cars. He had noticed something unusual underneath the vehicle and, after taking a closer look, found the device attached where it could easily remain hidden.“What do you think?” I asked.Logan folded his arms across his chest, his expression serious.“I don't know, Alpha.”I looked at the device again.“Maybe it’s Amarok?” “That would be my first guess,” Logan admitted. “But I can't say for certain.”Amarok was certainly capable of something like this, but he wasn't the only enemy I had.Over the years, I had made more enemies than I cared to count. Some had legitimate reasons to hate me, others simply hated the power I possessed.There were businessmen who had lost everything because they challenged me and they sim
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
