Liora’s P.O.V.

Cassian noticed my reaction and stopped, glancing at my shaking hands. His brows slowly narrowed as he said calmly, his voice rumbling low.

“I don’t know what that means, but it’s night. And I am going to sleep.”

Sleep? Here? Next to me?

Goddess!

My mouth parted in a silent scream as I pointed at the door sharply.

“Go!”

Then I pointed at Cassian, then back at the door, trying to convey my message as simply as possible.

“Go to your room and sleep there.”

He watched me with keen interest, and after a while, he understood what I meant. He tilted his head slightly, eyes darkening in that steady, unreadable way of his.

“Why should I leave?”

My pulse fluttered painfully as he held my gaze and continued softly.

“This is my room too, isn’t it?”

“No!”

I screamed inwardly, panic melting into confusion inside me. It was already so difficult to process all the events of the past forty-eight hours, and now Cassian was behaving so oddly, confusing me with his actions.

And like it was

    Harley’s P.O.V.The car had barely settled after the sudden stop when Conrad’s voice broke the uneasy silence.“There’s a massive log placed right in the middle of the road,” he said, peering through the windshield. “It’s not a problem. I’ll get down and move it.”Before he could unbuckle his seatbelt, Carlos leaned forward sharply. “Wait!”Conrad paused and looked back at him as Carlos continued, his eyes narrowing. His tone was low, edged with suspicion. “Why would there be a log here? There wasn’t any storm today. No strong winds. Nothing.”A cold shiver ran down my spine. Carlos and I looked at each other and spoke at once.“It’s a trap.”Carlos exhaled slowly, already reaching for the door. “Conrad, we go together. Let's check the surroundings first. It's our safest bet.”Then he turned to me, his gaze softening despite the tension burning in his eyes. “Harley, stay inside the car. Lock the doors. Don’t open them for anyone.I’ll be right back.”I nodded quickly, fear knotting

  • Silent Howls   Chapter 96

    Cassian’s P.O.V.Liora didn’t inform me before going out. Correction: She thought I wouldn’t find out that she could sneak out like that and I would remain blissfully unaware. That thought alone made my jaw tighten. She didn’t even notice me in the corridor when she stepped out with Stacy, wrapped in an awful skirt that barely reached her mid thighs.My lycan surged forward instantly, growling possessively.“Stop her, Cassian. What the hell is she doing?”If it hadn’t been for the arguments earlier, I would have stopped her without a second thought. But it seemed like Liora needed a break from all the palace’s drama once. Although I let her leave, it didn’t mean I would allow her to roam in the city unprotected. Never!So, I followed her all the way to that hideous bar, making sure that she was safe. Now, I sat in my car in the parking lot, engine off, windows tinted, shadows swallowing me whole. Music thudded from inside the bar, muffled but persistent.My laptop rested on my lap

  • Silent Howls   Chapter 95

    Liora’s P.O.V.The music thumped around us, the bar loud and alive, yet the moment felt painfully exposed. My breath came shallow as realization crashed into me. My hand felt hot against Adrian’s lips, his surprised inhale brushing my skin.For a heartbeat, he froze. Then slowly—dangerously slowly—his gaze dropped to my hand, his lips curving beneath my palm. And at that moment, it struck my mind: I had made a terrible mistake!Adrian’s amusing gaze was fixed on me as I pulled my hand back as if burned.“Well,” he drawled, leaning closer, his voice smooth and mocking. “This is interesting!”My stomach twisted. Alcohol buzzed in my veins, making everything feel unreal, but fear cut through the haze sharply. Adrian straightened, resting casually against the counter.He wore a white tank top that clung to his muscular frame, dark tattoos snaking down his both arms like living things. His smirk was devilishly calculated, too confident for my comfort.Before he could say anything else,

    Liora’s P.O.V.“Out? For alcohol?”My heart pounded violently in my chest. I blurted out, staring at her in disbelief.“What do you mean? We have alcohol here.”I turned and pointed at the small bar corner in my chambers. The polished shelves, the crystal bottles, and the finest liquor the palace could offer. “There is some wine, whiskey, everything. We don’t need to go anywhere.”Stacy followed my finger, then rolled her eyes so hard that I thought they might disappear into her skull. “This?” She scoffed. “Nope. Absolutely not.”She waved a dismissive hand.“This is a royal sadness alcohol. It’s meant for quiet sipping and silent suffering. And what you need right now is loud music, dim light, strangers who don’t know you, and drinks that can burn your throat enough to make you forget your problems.”She then stepped closer, tapping my shoulder lightly.“You need to loosen up, Liora.”This definition of ‘loosen up’ twisted my stomach violently.“Stacy, no,” I said quickly, my hear

  • Silent Howls   Chapter 93

    Liora’s P.O.V.Silence crashed between us, heavy and deafening. Cassian stared at me as if I had spoken in a language he didn’t recognize. Disbelief flickered in his eyes, then something sharper, something that hurt far more.Disappointment!“Is this really you, Liora?” He asked slowly, his voice quieter now but far more cutting.“The one obsessing over title and status?”My breath hitched as he went on, shaking his head slightly.“You weren’t like this when we met. You had never cared about worldly issues, power, and position. You were different!”His words struck me out of nowhere, like a blade driven straight into my chest. I stood there, stunned, my heart clenching so tightly that it hurt to breathe.He was right about my past, broken self, when my only goal was survival. I had no mate, no expectations, and no hopes for my future.But it had changed!My royal mate had surely changed me. Now, people watched my every step, ready to judge, ready to discard me the moment I stumbled. M
