ログインLiora's POVI hadn't expected Sabrina to dislike me this much. Actually, dislike was too mild a word. The woman looked at me as if I had personally ruined her life.Fay and I exchanged a brief glance as we followed her through the large compound Amarok had brought us to.The place itself was beautiful but Sabrina's attitude was quickly ruining any chance I had of appreciating the surroundings."You walk too slowly" she complained. I blinked. The comment had come completely out of nowhere. Sabrina didn't even look back as she continued walking.Fay frowned."We're literally right behind you" she said.Sabrina shrugged."Then walk faster."I stared at the back of her head. Fay looked equally annoyed. Was she serious?We had barely arrived and this woman had already found a hundred ways to irritate us.I tried not to make it a problem. After everything that had happened today, I didn't have the energy.The last thing I wanted was to start arguing with one of Amarok's people. Unfortunat
Alpha Kael's POVI was halfway down the main corridor before I realized I was walking far faster than usual. The servants pressed themselves against the walls as I passed and guards immediately straightened.Nobody wanted to be the person who got in my way tonight, not after everything that had happened and certainly not after discovering she had somehow disappeared from her room again.My jaw tightened, the sound of my boots striking the polished marble floor echoed through the hallway.Behind me, several guards struggled to keep pace."Alpha," one of them called but I didn't slow down."Speak" I ordered. "We've already searching but lady Liora is still nowhere to be found" he said.I turned sharply the guard."Take twenty men and find her" I instructed. "Twenty?""Did I stutter?""No, Alpha" he said as he shook his head."If Amarok is still on my property, I want him brought to me."The guard swallowed."Alive, Alpha?"I stopped walking and the entire hallway became silent. Slowl
Liora's POVThe forest seemed endless.Dark branches stretched overhead, weaving together to create a canopy that blocked most of the moonlight. The narrow trail beneath our feet looked like something that wasn't meant to be found by ordinary people.And yet Amarok's wolves moved through it with complete confidence as if they had traveled this route a hundred times before.Maybe they had.Fay walked close beside me, enough that our shoulders occasionally brushed. Neither of us wanted to admit how nervous we were but it was obvious.We had just escaped one dangerous situation and stepped directly into another.The only difference was that this danger smiled more often.I glanced ahead.Amarok was walking several steps in front of us, his broad shoulders looked relaxed, as though he wasn't worried about Alpha Kael discovering I had disappeared.The secret path opened into a small clearing and waiting there were several black vehicles.My steps slowed and Amarok noticed immediately. A gr
Alpha Kael’s POVThe silence after Rio had spoken was the kind that didn’t feel like peace.I stayed standing in the dining hall longer than necessary, my gaze fixed on the empty space Amarok had occupied moments ago.Behind me, I could hear movement of chairs shifting, servants trying to return to normal duties, guards whispering low commands.The estate was already trying to recover but I wasn’t interested in recovery. I was interested in resolution.Rio stood a few steps behind me and I could feel his presence more than hear it.“This never should’ve happened,” Rio said again, his voice tighter now.I didn’t turn immediately.“I’ve already heard you,” I replied flatly.“I’m serious,” he continued. “Amarok being here—”“Is done,” I cut in.There was a pause then Rio exhaled but I could tell he wasn’t satisfied.Elena stepped forward slightly, her tone carefully controlled.“At least the situation is over now" she said.Ruby nodded.“Exactly. He’s gone. No need to keep tension alive.
Liora’s POVThe estate lights were already fading behind us when I stopped pretending I wasn’t uneasy. Fay sat beside me, hands folded tightly in her lap and neither of us spoke for a long time.Outside the window, the estate had become a distant silhouette swallowed by darkness.My fingers tightened against the edge of the seat and Fay noticed.“You’re thinking about him,” she said quietly.I didn’t ask who she meant because I already knew.“Of course I am. Alpha Kael will lose his mind when he finds out” I replied. Fay swallowed.“That’s putting it lightly" she said.I let out a breath through my nose.“I’m not afraid of him" I said.It wasn’t entirely true but it sounded better than the truth, which was that I didn’t fully understand what I felt anymore when it came to him.The car shifted slightly as it hit a rough patch of road.Two guards sat in the front and two more followed in another vehicle behind us.Fay leaned closer to me.“I don’t like this. This feels like a trap,” sh
Alpha Kael's POVMy eyes remained locked on Amarok, his arrogance still marveled me.A slow smile appeared on Amarok's face, as though he enjoyed every second of the tension he had created.His hand still rested casually on the dining table and his posture remained relaxed.Around us, the atmosphere grew heavier. The scent of unease spread throughout the hall.I could smell it on everyone, especially from Amarok's wolves who looked almost eager, as though they wanted to see what would happen next.I slowly leaned back in my chair."You've lost your mind" I said, my voice came out dangerously calm.Amarok laughed."Perhaps or perhaps I simply know what I want" he said. His eyes flickered toward the door where Liora had been taken moments earlier and my jaw tightened.The dining hall felt smaller. The urge to throw him out myself became increasingly difficult to ignore.Across from me, Elena rolled her eyes dramatically."Oh, for Moon Goddess' sake."Everyone looked at her as she waved
Fay's POVI turned toward the door. I couldn't stay here, I couldn't look at him. I couldn't keep standing in this room pretending my heart hadn't just shattered.Every step felt heavy and humiliating then Rio's voice stopped me."Fay, please" he said and something in his tone made me freeze.It wa
Fay's POVI hated the way Tristan looked at me. Even after he walked away, I could still see that expression on his face.That mixture of pity and frustration, as if he knew something I didn't.As if I was walking straight toward a cliff and he was the only one who could see it.The thought irritat
Fay's POVTime passed strangely inside Alpha Kael's estate. The days blurred together, mornings were spent cleaning, serving, and avoiding trouble.The evenings were filled with whispers, secrets, and stolen moments and somewhere in the middle of all that, I fell hopelessly in love with Rio.Lookin
Fay’s POVI was absolutely terrified.Luna Ruby's sharp eyes felt like they could peel away every lie I tried to hide behind."What are you doing here?" she asked again.The air suddenly felt too hot and my heart hammered violently against my ribs.If she discovered what was happening inside that r
