Liana's POV

I'd never wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole more than I did right now. My entire body was on fire, and it had nothing to do with the dream I had just a couple of minutes. Instead, I burned from embarrassment.

How much had he heard? How long had he been sitting there for? What did he think of me right now? Did he think I was some slut or probably someone who couldn't keep her urges in check?

I groaned internally, as I pushed the many thoughts aside. If I thought about it too much, then best believe that there was no way I would be able to get anything done at all. I would just focus on it, and I hated it.

I stared at Kieran's face, my eyes searching for even the slightest bit of an emotional betrayal. Maybe if I had even so much as the tiniest idea about how he felt, I would know how to move forward from here. But , he didn't. His face was stoic and I felt the urge to scream out loud.

I wasn't a mind reader either, so there was no way to try to figu

    Liana's POV I wanted to look away, but I couldn't bring myself to do so, and if that wasn't strange, I had no idea what else was. The painting was creepy, if I did say so myself, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't bring myself to understand it. There had to be a reason why this one of all paintings had caught my eyes, but I just couldn't pinpoint what it was. Was it the message behind it? Or the fact that I couldn't stand blood? Or maybe the man's distorted face had everything to do with why I was so drawn to this painting. Whatever the reason was, I was going to find out what was so special about this painting. Slowly, I traced my fingers along the blood lines smeared over the canvas. The texture underneath my fingers felt real, and if I didn't know better, I would have said that I'd been dipping my hand in real blood all this time. Or was I? I pushed the thoughts aside, as my fingers continued moving on their own accord. When I got to the man's distorted face

    Kieran's POV Anger bubbled underneath my skin, but I knew this was only just the beginning. I could feel it, swirling and curling around every part of me, just waiting to burst forth at the right moment. My skin boiled, and I knew it would only be a matter of time before I would blow up. The worst part, it would probably be at someone who didn't deserve it.This anger had building over the last couple of days, and only the goddesses strength was keeping me sane. I honestly thought I could handle it, but right now, and as time ticked by, I wasn't so sure of my theory anymore.I sighed, as I ran a hand through my hair. I trudged down the hallways that led to my room, wanting nothing more than to lay in my bed. It wasn't a lot, but I was sure that once I had gotten a couple hours worth of sleep, I would have calmed down and be ready to think of a solution to the issue at hand. I didn't like to admit it, but the pack was in trouble. On getting to the border two days ago, I stumbled

    Liana's POV I stirred awake with a groan, slowly peeling my eyes open. My vision was nothing short of a hazy mess in the first couple of minutes, but I blinked back, again and again till my vision had cleared completely. A dull ache formed at the back of my head, and it throbbed badly too. I felt like the back of my skull was about to crack open, and just at the middle too. โ€œMake it stop.โ€ I groaned, before turning to my side. Surprisingly, after a couple of seconds it worked and I couldn't have felt any more grateful. A couple of seconds passed, before I realized I had no idea where I was. However, one look at my surroundings, was all it took to hog my memory. I was in Kieran's room.I jerked into a sitting position immediately. I blinked again, just to confirm I was t being delusional, but nothing changed. The same satin sheets I'd left on his bed were wrapped around me, and I couldn't help but wonder how I'd ended up here again. Didn't I storm out of the palace yesterday?

    Liana's POV I still couldn't believe it. I never actually thought that I was bad luck, but with the series of events that had been happening straight in a row, I wasn't sure what to think anymore. Slowly, but surely, it was beginning to look like I'd been cursed, and what other way to prove it thank Kieran's last statement. Starting tonight, you'll be sleeping in my room . His words echoed in my ears. It's the only place safe enough in the entire palace. I wanted to scream, yell at the top of my voice that I would rather die than share a room with him, but I couldn't. Even though I didn't exactly remember the details, I couldn't deny the fact that he had saved me last night. What would've happened had be not shown up in time? I told myself I wasn't going to think about it, but it only made me lean into his proposal all the more. If he had come out there to save me, then I didn't have to worry if he said this was the only place I could be safe, right? Right. I hoped. I'd

    Liana's POV Time seemed to slow to a halt as I stood rooted in my spot. No matter how hard I tried to convince myself that it wasn't real, the thoughts just didn't budge, why? Because they were real. Goosebumps appeared at the back of my skin, and I fought the urge to shudder. He was yet to say anything, but I felt his eyes roam over my body, drinking me in. I didn't want to be overly dramatic, but I could swear he had every bit of my body mapped out in his mind right now. Shit. I stood there for even more longer before something clicked in my head. I hadn't moved, but neither had Kieran. He was still staring at me, likeโ€ฆ.โ€œYou.โ€ I quickly picked up my wet dress, before slamming it over my body. A wave of cold rushed through my veins, but I sucked it all up, before turning to Kieran. โ€œWhat the hell do you think you're doing?โ€โ€œStanding?โ€ If he was flustered, he didn't show it one bit. Instead, he followed his hands across his chest, like he'd just walked in on something really

    Liana's POV For the next couple of seconds, I couldn't believe my eyes. I'd heard of instances when one would be so shocked to the extent that you wouldn't be able to move, nor get your brain to function, but I wasn't sure I'd ever experienced that. In fact, I had a track record of saying things like that didn't exactly exist. They were just excuses given by people who were too lazy to act or too dumb to do the right thing and at the right time. That was what I always told myself, and I'd stuck to it for the longest time, until now. My body was frozen, and no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't bring myself to move. I was rooted to my spot, my line of vision connecting with a badly injured Kieran, just sprawled on the floor. No, scratch that. He wasn't badly injured, he was dying. A gash lined his forehead, and I didn't miss the drag wave of blood trickling down. His eyes were bruised, and I just knew they would be swollen beyond recognition if I didn't so something immed

    Liana's POV The wind rushed past my hair as Kieran continued to tug me towards one of the hallways. I had no idea where we were going, and honestly, I didn't even want to know. Whenever he was ready, he was going to let me go and leave me the fuck alone. Kieran didn't say anything else, and neither did I, but I knew very well that he was fuming inside. When I'd left his question hanging, I didn't miss how his face had darkened. I knew that should spell trouble for me, but I couldn't bring myself to care. If he was going to always be an asshole, then I would gladly follow in his footsteps. I felt my heart drop a little when we took another sharp turn. We'd been walking aimlessly and quietly for the last five minutes, and I would be lying if I said my legs weren't aching. Red hot pain flared through my calves, and I was this tempted to complain, so he would let me go. But if I so much as gave him a reaction, that would only break my streak of not giving him any attention. I ca

    Liana's POV I knew I was in trouble. From the moment Kieran's hold on me tightened, I just knew I had gotten myself into more than I'd bargained for, and you know the worst part of it all? I wasnt scared. Not at all. In fact, I was intrigued. I was excited. A shudder raced down my spine. I was still very aware of the way Kieran's fingers pressed into my side. His scent wafted through my nostrils, and I would be lying if I said it wasn't intoxicating. He smelled like clean soap, with a mix of dirt and sweat, and while that was an oddly specific and weird combo, I found myself wanting more. A tiny part of me wanted to gobble him all up. Right now. It wasn't even going to be a bad idea. We were out in the open where no one could walk in or evenโ€ฆ..โ€œStop it, Liana.โ€ I scolded myself mentally. If it wasn't already clear, this was the reason why I avoided being alone with Kieran. His presence did things to my body, and I'd be damned if he ever found out the kind of influence he

    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. โ€œCan you even imagine that?โ€ Penelope chuckled loudly. โ€œshe has audacity, I'll give her that. What exactly was she thinking? That she could just walk in here and take over the palace?โ€™ โ€œShe's a very dense girl.โ€ Another maid laughed, and they giggled in agreement. โ€œI 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 Kingย ย ย 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 Kingย ย ย 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. โ€œAre you all deaf?โ€ 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 Kingย ย ย 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. โ€œWhat do you mean?โ€ 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. โ€œWhat's wrong with him? Is he okay? Did somethingโ€ฆ.โ€โ€œYou're not allowed to ask any questions.โ€ His voice came in sharp. โ€œThe king needs you. Now.โ€ Even a toddler would be able to tell that the

    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

    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 Kingย ย ย 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
