Liana's POV

Kieran held my gaze for the next couple of seconds, but no matter how hard he stared at me, I couldn't bring myself to figure out the kind of thoughts that we running through his mind. It didn't even help that his eyes were unmoving, and he had a stoic expression on his face.

“Sir?” Serena called again from the other side of the door. In fact, if she hadn't spoken again, I would have totally forgotten that she was still even out there in the first place. “Are you still there?”

“You should open it.” I mouthed the words to Kieran and he rolled his eyes in response. If there was one thing I was sure of, it was the fact that he didn't see her interruption as a welcome distraction. If anything, and if he could, I was a hundred percent sure he would send her back, without having to see his guest. “Someones waiting for you.”

“I don't care.” I could swear I heard him murder under his breath. After what seemed like forever, he finally opened the door.

“Good morning, sir”

    Liana's POV It was amazing what time could do to you and the situation around you. I didn't really understand it, or simply put, I wasn't sure I'd ever tried to think about it properly, until now. Wnoever came up with the phrase time heals all wounds was really right, because two weeks had gone down the drain, and I was finally feeling human again. Life was slowly getting better. In fact, my healing process wasn't one I was going to be forgetting so early. When Serena had turned down my request to allow me move in with her, I was beyond devastated. It had taken everything within me to not burst into tears at that moment. Don't get me wrong, Kieran wasn't all that bad, but sometimes, he could be a little better too much, and in both ways. On the one hand, his sudden switch to being sweet and kind wasn't something I was used to, and would ever get used to. Not only that but whenever he donned that sweet personality of his, it altered my brain chemistry around him, like his prese

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 27

    Liana's POV For the next couple of moments, I couldn't bring myself to speak. Tension crackled in the air, and I wasn't sure anything was going to be able to help dissipate it. In fact, the more silence reigned between us, the more the tension crackled between us. It was suffocating, but there was also one thing it was not; distracting. No matter how weird things were, it didn't take my mind off what had just happened. Kieran had tumbled in here a while back looking all mad and furious, like someone has let out a bag with everything that could ever make him mad in one go. I knew I should have kept quiet, but I couldn't bring myself to do so, and what did I get in return?He fucking yelled at me. “You don't have to be rude, you know,” I found myself saying. “ I was just trying to figure out why you're so mad and if there's anything I can do to help….”“I didn't ask you, did I?” His response came quicker and sharper than the last time. If there was anything different from his la

    Liana's POV I had no idea what I was thinking when I slammed my lips against Kieran's. In all honesty, I wasn't even sure I was thinking, but it was too late for anything now. I'd done it, and now I had to bear the consequences of defying my logic and going with my heart and emotions instead. My heart raced, but I still couldn't bring myself to pull my lips from Kieran's. Whether it had everything to do with embarrassment or shame, I wasn't quite sure, and it didn't even help that Kieran was completely still, his eyes boring into mine. My lips stayed glued to his, and on instinct, I found my lips moving over his. I darted my tongue against his mouth, desperately poking for an entrance, but when it was certain he wasn't going to reciprocate, I pulled back. “I ..” I stuttered, my cheeks flushed. “I didn't mean…” The rest of my words died on the tip of my tongue as Kieran cupped my face, before capturing my mouth in a searing kiss. If I'd thought my approach was head on, then clea

    Liana's POV I had never been a fan of tight spaces, but this one was a tough nut to crack. My breath hitched in my throat, and no matter what I did, it just wasn't enough to dissolve the huge lump that had formed at the back of my throat. My chest tightened, and if I didn't find a way to expand my lungs soon, I was definitely going to pass out. Kieran's scent wasn't helping matters either. It was intoxicating I know, but pressed against him without a minute's worth of space wasn't something I saw happening at all. When I woke up this morning, I had a clear plan; avoid Kieran for as long as possible, and it seemed to have been working, until it didn't. When I hid behind the pillar, the last thing I expected was for him to spot me. How the hell had even done that? I'd made sure I hid properly, made sure I didn't make a sound that would betray my presence and….A low grunt was all it took to pull me back to the present. I snapped out of my thoughts, and raised my eyes to Kieran's

    Chapter 30Liana's POV My heart thundered in my throat, and for the first time in a while, I honestly thought I was going to shit myself. Kieran on the other hand, didn't seem too bothered, and I wouldn't say I was surprised. He'd always liked living on the wild side of life. I snuck Kieran a glance, and if the look in his eyes meant anything, it was the fact that he wanted to keep going. I shook my head at him, and fortunately, that was all it took to get him to let me go, reluctantly. “Who's there?” Whoever it was called out again, and I found myself pressing deeper into the shadows. I had no idea who it was, but the last thing I wanted was to realize it was someone I'd seen around, or worse, someone I knew. “Come out, now.” And we did. Well, just Kieran actually. “Its me.” Kieran stepped into the light, and obviously in their line of vision. “Is there a problem?” “No, no sir.” From where I stood, I had a small view of who Kieran was talking to, and it was none other than

    Liana's POV I waited on the bed, till Kieran was ready. When he'd told me he wanted to paint me, a small part of me had thought he was joking or simply pulling my legs. But the moment he got on his feet, I just knew he was serious about it. I watched as he carefully changed the easel. Apparently, before I'd woken up, he had started a painting, and I just had to cut him short when I woke up. He didn't seem to mind though. If anything, he was actually glad I did. His muscles flexed as he swapped his almost full easel for a fresh one. I couldn't see what he was paining previously, but I just knew I would get a glimpse of it later, all I needed to do was ask. He was still in his grey sweatpants as he walked towards me. His abs stood out to me as he stood shirtless in front of me, and for a moment, I deliberated running my hands down his abs. I knew better though, doing that was only going to result in a hot make out session or our bodies tangling under the sheets. “Ready?” He gri

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 32

    Liana's POV I couldn't shake it off, no matter how hard I tried. In fact, the more I tried to push the thoughts away, the harder they came back. My mind was a mess, and a million and one questions swirled around in my head. I honestly did try to push them aside, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't do it. I wasn't sure how long I had left, but I wouldn't be exaggerating when I said I was this close to going psycho. If there was one thing that stuck out the most to me, it just had to be Serena's words. Over time, our relationship had blossomed, and I could easily call her my friend, without mincing words, or even missing a beat. But friends told each other the truth and hardly hid anything from the other, so why couldn't I shake off the fact that there was something she just wasn't telling me? My mind weighed heavily with each step I took farther and farther away from her room. Anxiety gnawed at my sides, and for a minute, I considered going back the way I was just co

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 33

    Liana's POV Time seemed to slow to a halt, as my gaze landed on the last just standing at the entrance to the kitchen. In the time we'd become friends, I think it was safe to see I'd seen her in every mood, happy, sad, mad, even shocked, but the surprised look on her face right now wasn't one I was going to be forgetting anytime soon , even if I wanted to. Against my own will, it had been etched painfully into my mind, and I had no idea how I felt about that. She stood rooted to her spot, while her eyes raked over me and Kieran. There was no way we could get out of this unscathed. She'd caught us, red-handed and in the act. I doubted even Kieran was going to be able to twist this in his favour. He'd gone rigid in front of me, and I snuck a glance at his face. He didn't look the least bit bothered though. In fact, I couldn't help but feel like he felt slightly irritated that Serena had interrupted us. I made to move away from him, but his grip on my tightened, his fingers hol

    Kieran's POV My emotions were a mess, but for the life of me, I couldn't bring myself to dwell on them. In fact, I didn't even want to. Doing that would only make me more mad and probably heartbroken and that was the last thing I needed right now. A million and one thoughts ran through my mind, but a good number of them all revolved around Liana. No, scratch that. All of them revolved around Liana. Last night had passed by quicker than I would like, but best believe that I would relive that moment every minute of my life if I had too. Finally getting close to Liana was like a breath of fresh air, but nothing could top the little confession I'd give earlier today. I hadn't planned it. In fact, I'd done that in a state of panic, without giving a single thought to how she would react, or what the hell would follow after it. Had things gone differently than I'd expected? Yes. Did I regret it? Not at all. Liana was only going through a lot at the moment, and I told myself that

    Liana's POV Even after convincing myself that I was going to have to grow a tough shell if I wanted to survive here, it still didn't make it any easier. Wrong. They didn't make it any easier. Their laughter reached my ears, and I would be lying if I said it didn't affect me. Every now and then they howled in pure joy, and I felt a piece of my heart break all the more. I knew I needed to leave their presence, but for some strange reason, I just couldn't bring myself to move. My feet felt like lead, and I felt my knees buckle beneath me. The air around me tightened, but none of this stopped the girls from gossiping. “Can you even imagine that?” Penelope chuckled loudly. “she has audacity, I'll give her that. What exactly was she thinking? That she could just walk in here and take over the palace?’ “She's a very dense girl.” Another maid laughed, and they giggled in agreement. “I thought she was smart, but apparently she's just so stupid. Did she really think her pussy would ma

    Liana's POV My mornings had been following a particular routine in the last one week, and even though I wasn't particularly sure how I felt about it, I couldn't exactly bring myself to complain about it. It might sound degrading but I didn't exactly have a choice, at least a boring routine with a roof over your head was better than none, right? Even if the said roof came with one problem or the other. I didn't have a choice. I was going to have to deal with it, whether I liked it or not. My memory of last night had been in shambles when I'd woken up. All I knew was that Irene had embarrassed and insulted me in front of everyone. Like I didn't already have so much on my plate, I had to wake up to a naked man on my bed, and not just any man. Fucking Kieran. The moment I laid my eyes on him, memories of last night came rushing by. How he'd insisted on coming in, how I'd melted into his skin when he'd huffed me, how I hadn't pushed him back when he pressed his lips against mine, h

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 55

    Kieran's POV I had no idea what had gotten into me, but best believe I didn't regret what I'd just done. One minute I had my arms around Liana, my hands going up and down her back, while my fingers drew small circles into her skin. When I was headed back to my room, I never in a million years thought that I was going to catch a glimpse of Liana running to her room, and in tears too. It had caught me off guard, and right there and then, I swore I was going to find out the reason behind her tears, or the person involved too. I knew pacifying her was going to be a hard task, but this, this was just a lot to comprehend. In all the time we'd spent together, I wasn't sure I'd seen her cry this much before. From her body movement, you could tell she was beyond hurt and my body itched to find out who it was that was responsible for her discomfort. If she had at least mentioned a name, then best believe that the unfortunate soul she'd call would definitely be six feet under by now. I ha

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 52

    Liana's POV The air in the room was thick with tension, and I knew it would take a miracle to slice it clean without any casualties, especially now that Irene was involved. When I'd slapped Penelope, I didn't think Irene would show up. Hell, I didn't even know she was around the corner and neither did I think what I was about to do through. I was so mad that she had the guts to spread lies about me, and all because of what? Just so she and the other maids could keep on talking about me? Heaven knows I wanted to ignore her, but to what extent? How long was I going to keep on keeping quiet and what was that going to do to me In the long run? It was only going to break me down and I would belittle myself in front of everyone. I didn't want that, so I did what I had to do, and maybe, just maybe I might be regretting my decisions already. “Are you all deaf?” Irene shrieked, pulling me back to the present. I blinked back a couple of times, just to come face to face with a furious

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 51

    Liana's POV I wasn't sure which was worse, the fact that I was mad at Kieran, or the fact that I had totally shoved every bit of that anger away just so I could tend to him. That wasn't even the worst part. Deep down, despite how angry I was at him, I wanted to go see him. I wanted to know what the hell was wrong, because a guard bringing news to me that he was in a critical condition wasn't how I'd expected to end the night. “What do you mean?” I'd asked the guard, and a frown made its way to his face. It was funny how people treated you based off the position you held. When Kieran and I were still close, I could swear this guard was one of the many that groveled and kissed the very ground I walked on, but now, I was nothing short of someone who no longer deserved his attention or time. “What's wrong with him? Is he okay? Did something….”“You're not allowed to ask any questions.” His voice came in sharp. “The king needs you. Now.” Even a toddler would be able to tell that the

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 50

    Liana's POV The sun was up far quicker than I expected it to be, but I couldn't exactly bring myself to complain. Why? Because I was already up myself. Honestly, I wasn't even sure I'd slept a wink last night. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't bring myself to fall asleep. The moment I closed my eyes, all I saw was the image of Irene pressing her lips smack against Kieran. I wasn't sure which hurt more, the fact that Irene had kissed Kieran or the fact that Kieran just stood there. Call me crazy or whatever, but I could swear Kieran's lips moved against hers, like he was enjoying it. I couldn't bear to see them that way, so I did the only thing I could think of, I ran. If Kieran could comfortably kiss her back in front of me, then I wouldn't put it past him to deepen the said kiss. I thought running away would help with the hurt, but it didn't. Instead, the moment I got to my room, I felt the weight of everything crashing down against me and all at once too. I had no

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 49

    Kieran's POV Today had been riddled with the most ridiculous things happening all at once. First it was Irene and Richard showing up, followed by Liana getting heartbroken , before finally ending with me realizing my feelings for her. I loved her. No, I was in love with her. I'd taken a while to think about it,but no matter how hard I did, it didn't excuse the fact or change anything. I was in love with her, and just when I thought I finally had a reign on things and had a chance to make things better, Irene just had to come and ruin it for me. I should have known she was going to bring nothing but trouble the moment I saw her walking towards us. Her eyes gleamed with mischief and before I could react, Irene pressed her lips against mine in a kiss. Her lips lingered there for far longer than I would have liked. Why? I was shocked, beyond stunned, so much so that I couldn't bring myself to react until I caught liana's back receding into the distance from the cotber of my eye

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 48

    Liana's POV I honestly thought I'd made all of the hardest and toughest choices way before coming here, but fate had a funny and not so funny way of showing that you just weren't done yet. If a little birdie had whispered to me the night before, that this was how the day was going to start for me,then best believe I would have laughed it off and shared it with Kieran as a silly joke and nothing else. Kieran. Even the mere thought of the man now brought nothing but pain and heartache. With Kieran's sweet side on display all week, best believe I was having a hard time believing that he could even do something like this to me. None of it felt real if I was behind honest. Despite the hurt that pulsed in my chest and all around me, a small tiny part of me just didn't want to believe it was real. What if it was all an elaborate prank? Kieran had a twisted sense of humor and I wouldn't put it past him to be able to come up with something like this. I pressed my eyes shut, and I wa
