Liana's POV

I blinked back a couple of times, but it did nothing to rid the sight in front of me. I stood wide eyed, with a wave of fear and anxiety creeping up my chest. The ugly emotion curled itself around my chest, its sharp tendrils digging into my vital organs. It was a miracle how I was still standing, because I felt numb all over, and even the world seemed to swirl from time to time.

It might not make a lot of sense, but if I were to be given a choice, I would much rather prefer to faint, than have to face the lady in front of me.

Her face held no trace of being friendly, and I wondered how someone could hold such a smug look for so long. Her hands were folded across her bosom, and with one of her eyebrows raised, she looked nothing short of a villain from one of the princess movies I used to watch when I was a little girl.

I snuck a glance at her. She hadn't changed, not even a bit. I wasn't close with Samantha's friends, but it didn't mean I didn't see them around. I

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 42

    Liana's POV If someone had told me this was how my night was going to end, then best believe I would have laughed hysterically in their face and told them to go jump in the river or something if they were that bored. My life had been turning out great, and by my life, I really meant the past couple of days with Kieran in the hotel, and never in a million years did I think that anything would go horribly wrong. Over the past couple of weeks and probably months, I'd forced myself to push back memories of my previous life. They obviously didn't care about me, so why was I supposed to keep them anywhere near my mind? I'd always told myself that they were going to regret loosing me, it was what kept me going, but apparently, all I needed to break that thought and every sense of being attached to it, was Samantha's friend showing up. I hadn't expected it, and best believe I wasn't going to be forgetting it anytime soon. My plan for tonight had been to come back to the hotel room, get

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 43

    Liana's POV My heart thundered madly in my chest, so hard I thought the vital organ was going to burst through the chest and onto the pavement. It sounded gruesome, but in a way, maybe it wasn't going to be all that bad. At least, that way these men would scurry away and leave me alone. I hoped. I had no idea who they were, I could swear that I hadn't seen them before in my entire life, and honestly, I'd wished it remained like that. If the looks on their faces meant anything, it was the fact that they were thirsty for trouble, and it didn't even help that they recognized me too. Why would they? I was new in the area, hell I'd only accompanied Kieran on this visit and I had no idea where the fuck we were, so how could someone recognize me, and from a picture on their phone too?Shit, this was messed up. I fidgeted, while slowly waiting to see what the men were going to do next. Apparently, they had just recognized me and weren't doing anything yet. Maybe, just maybe, I could

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 44

    Liana's POV Time seemed to slow to a halt as I took in the man in front of me. I stared at him, unable to move, unable to breathe. Perhaps it had to do with the shock of actually seeing someone come to my rescue.Up until a couple of minutes ago, I had totally resigned to my fate. That I was going to die behind a buried wall, and I would most likely never be found. Maybe my body would eventually crumble with the building, or perhaps I would have decayed by the time I was found. Its not like anyone would miss me though. My family had ostracized me, and if news of my death did reach their eyes, I could bet my life that would be more ecstatic than sad. The only people who might be affected, would be Serena and Kieran. The same Kieran who was standing in front of me, I'm flesh and blood too. I wanted to reach out to him, to touch his face and feel his stubble, just to confirm I wasn't hallucinating , but I couldn't, even if I tried. “Liana!” Kieran's panicked voice hit my ears imm

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 45

    Chapter 46 Liana's POV I leaned against the glass balcony of our room, the warm breeze brushing over my skin. I took in the scene in front of me, and I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said I wanted to stay here forever. I had the picture perfect view of the beach crashing down on the rocks that lined the sea. The greenery was breathtaking, and the variety of flowers that adorned the place was literally the cherry on top if you asked me. The wind tousled my hair here and there, and if I wanted, all I needed to do was change out of my robe and into a picture worthy dress, and take the most magical pictures in the universe. I had barely taken in the scene to my heart's content when a thought crossed my mind. The moment it hit me, a small frown made its way to my lips. Today was our last day here.Something tugged at my chest, and I easily recognized it as a mix of bittersweet emotions. We'd had fun here, despite the many things that went wrong, and even though I knew it was only r

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 46

    Liana's POV I pressed my back against the leather seats of the car, and relaxed immediately. The cushion was soft against my skin, and for the quickest moment, I found myself leaning into it a little bit more. In fact, I basked in his soft it was, until something pulled my attention to the issue at hand. Today was the day we were leaving the hotel. I'd known that since yesterday, but a part of me has almost wished that today would never come. Before I went to bed last night, I'd muttered a groggy prayer to the moon goddess. I'd whispered that if she delayed our stay by at least one day, I was going to do whatever she asked of me. I knew it was childlike to place all of my hope in her for a ridiculous prayer, but I'd still hoped, and what did she do? She'd smashed every bit of faith I had in her. Way to go moon goddess. Way to freaking go. I looked back at the hotel, and I couldn't help the small smile that made its way to my lips. When we'd first arrived, I was skeptical abo

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 47

    Kieran's POV Would it be selfish of me to say that I always knew this day was going to come, but I never expected it to come the moment it did? Maybe, yes. But did it make it any better that despite the guilt I felt, it did nothing to lighten up the atmosphere or at least turn the situation around? Not at all. Extreme shock was what I felt the moment my eyes rested on Richard. They said family brought peace, comfort, love and whatever, but his presence brought none of that. It didn't even help that he hadn't come alone. He came with someone, and her of all people too. It'd been a while since I saw Irene, and honestly, I would have preferred it that way. You know the saying out of sight, out of mind? Whoever had come up with that was definitely considering Irene. I couldn't even say I missed her, because not only would that be a big fat lie, but it would also be an insult no less to me and Liana. Liana. My heart broke at the mere thought of her. It was one thing to see her get

  • 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

  • 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 57

    Liana's POV Some days in the palace were uneventful, and by that, I meant there were little to no chores for the maids to do. If I was being honest, those were the kinds of days I looked up to. If I had my way, that would be the only kind of days I got to experience in the palace. Ever since my little demotion from grace to grass, I could count a few uneventful days, and by few, I meant just one. Irene had made it a personal conviction to make my life miserable and a living hell too. I hated to admit it, but she was succeeding, and if that wasn't the worst thing to have ever happened to me, then I had no idea what else would suffice. Since today was nothing like the uneventful days, it was worse. I'd woken up earlier than I usually did, and it wasn't something I looked forward to. My task today was to make the palace clean and spotless in time for the Lunar council meeting. Apparently, it was held every year and in different packs too. I didn't know a lot about it, but I could

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 56

    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

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 55

    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

  • Mated To The Alpha King   Chapter 54

    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
