LOGINLiana has spent her whole life trying to prove her worth to a family that never wanted her. As the daughter of an Alpha, she was meant to lead—until betrayal shatters her world. On the night of her anniversary, she catches her mate, Ryle, in bed with her sister, Samantha. Worse, her father sides with them, stripping her of her title and casting her out with nothing but a car and the clothes on her back. Wounded and lost, she finds an injured rogue in the woods—Kieran. Taking pity on him, she brings him to her pack’s hospital, only for her father to use it as an excuse to banish her. With nowhere to go, she follows Kieran, only to wake up in the palace of a mysterious king no one ever sees. As she struggles to rebuild her life, Liana finds herself drawn to Kieran in ways she never expected. He’s cold yet protective, distant yet possessive. Their passion ignites into something dangerous, but just when she begins to trust him, a noblewoman arrives—claiming to be his betrothed. And worse, she reveals the truth: Kieran isn’t a rogue… he’s the King. Heartbroken and betrayed once again, Liana vows to stay away, but Kieran refuses to let her go. With enemies lurking in the shadows and her past clawing its way back into her life, she must decide—will she fight for her place at his side, or will she walk away before history repeats itself? One thing is certain: she will never be a pawn again.
View MoreLiana’s POVWhen I woke up again, the room was quiet except for the soft hum of machines and the steady beep that I guessed was my heartbeat. It was weird — hearing my own life in numbers. I turned my head slightly and winced, my body aching like I’d been thrown through a wall.Then I remembered. The fight. Richard. The gunshot. Kieran.My chest tightened. Panic shot through me until I heard the sound of movement — the squeak of a chair, the faint clink of metal, and then his voice.“You’re awake.”His voice cracked, and when I turned my head, he was there. Kieran looked nothing like the perfect, untouchable Alpha everyone feared. His eyes were bloodshot, hair messy, and his shirt — the same one from earlier — was stained with my blood. My heart twisted at the sight.“How long was I out?” I asked, my voice scratchy.“Almost a day,” he said softly, coming closer. “They had to stop the bleeding and stabilize your vitals. The doctor said you both made it through.”Both. My hand moved in
Kieran's POV The moment the scent of blood hit my nose, my heart stopped. As an alpha, I'd heard that the scent of blood usually marked the beginning of victory, a d even though I usually agreed to it, at this point, I think it was safe to say I was no longer a part of that particular sentiment anymore. “Liana…” I breathed, catching her just as her knees gave out. My arms went around her, cradling her against my chest as the crimson liquid spread beneath her. Blood dripped down her sides and onto the ground, and I hated the fact that I had no idea where the blood was coming from. Did Richard's bullet somehow graze her without her knowing, or was she bleeding as a result of the way he'd slammed her against the wall? “No, no, no.” I hated that there was no time to think. I needed to act right now, and immediately too. . “ Stay with me, Liana, please!”Her skin was pale, clammy, and her breaths shallow. I scooped her up and bolted from the training field, the world blurring around
Liana's POV The world seemed to slow to a halt, as I tried to make sense of what had just happened here. I'd heard of people having plot twists in their lives but best believe that when I said this was the most surprising one I'd heard in a long time, and it didn't even happy to me, then I liked to think that was every indication you needed to know how serious this really was. My heart seemed to stop beating for a while, and no matter how hard I tried to force air out of my lungs,it just didn't budge. My visions blurred by the sides, and if I didn't know better I would have said I was the one Richard poisoned, and not Kieran.A thick blanket of silence bathed the entire place, and even though it was eerie,I took that as a sign to really take in all that I'd just heard. I honestly thought why Richard did all he did was because hated me, but never in a million years did I think he would extend that same branch to his own nephew Kieran only ever had love for his uncle, and this was
Liana's POV If I'd thought the little argument I had with Kieran was all of my troubles for the day, then best believe I was starting to realize that I was only fooling myself and nothing more. Life and the moon goddess had a funny way of testing me. Sometimes it came in waves, and other times, they liked to give me breaks in between, almost as if they were helping me catch my breath, but I knew better. Either way, they were usually preparing me for something worse, but when I said I didn't see this new development coming, then best believe I wasn't exaggerating. I was barely reeling from the plans I'd seen hidden in Kieran's belongings,when he walked up to me. “I'm going out.” His voice broke through my thoughts when I least expected it. I was busy reading a book, and the moment I raised my head to meet his, I just knew it would be trouble. “Out?’ I echoed. A small part of me wanted to think that he'd made a mistake, so I waited for him to correct himself. When he didn't thou
Kieran's POV The drive home was quiet, but my mind was not. No matter how hard I tried, my mind kept wandering back to Liana. Our conversation from earlier today raced through my mind, and I found myself smiling, widely too. When I'd rushed back to the palace for the so called emergency, it was
Liana's POV The night was young, and even though it was the perfect opportunity for a reckless time, I wasn't the least bit interested in it. If anything, I wished the night hadn't even come, that way , I wouldn't have been forced with the thoughts that ran carelessly in my mind at the moment.A
Kieran's POV I flipped through the pages of the many documents scattered in front of me, my eyes scanning through everything and nothing at once. I wasn't sure I'd made a lot of progress, but right now, I couldn't even afford to stop. Not with all the unfinished projects I had left. These ones w
Kieran's POV I didn't want to believe it. I couldn't. When I'd walked into Liana's hospital ward, Irene was the last person I expected to see. On top of that, I had to walk in on her trying to strangle Liana too. It was too much for me, that I couldn't deny, but I never saw the strange twist t
