Liora’s P.O.V.

That was it!

As soon as Beta Damon’s announcement resonated in the surroundings, two guards opened the tall oak doors for me.

My pulse stuttered as I stepped inside the banquet hall, the soft click of the heels on the marble floor echoing louder than it should be. My gown, a delicate shade of blush pink, floated around me like a whisper of dawn.

The fine silk caressed my skin, light as air. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my entire life.

King Cassian had kept his word as his Beta brought a lovely gown, a pair of soft shoes and instructed me about my appearance at the contract negotiations. It was then revealed that the king had decided to keep me as his woman.

The mere thought of leaving this hellhole calmed my soul, lulling me to a comfortable sleep. After a night of real rest, I felt alive, truly alive.

At least for once, I wasn’t a mute maid only!

I prepared myself to see King Cassian and thank him for his kindness, but the moment my gaze fell

  • 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

  • Silent Howls   Chapter 92

    Liora’s P.O.V.The coldness in Cassian's voice stunned me into silence. That sudden jump from ‘little fawn’ to ‘Liora’ hit harder than any shout, making my heart tremble in my chest.A voice in the back of my head screamed trouble, but still, I forced myself to breathe and replied.“I went out for fresh air.”Carefully schooling my expressions into calm, I turned away from him and walked to the sofa. I sat down and reached for the straps of my heels to unclasp them, focusing my attention on anything else besides my royally pissed-off mate.It seemed like he was still angry because of our argument last night.Despite my fragile attempt at peace, I could feel Cassian’s gaze on me. It was heavy, piercing, and drilling straight through my skin and soul. My fingers trembled while unclasping my heel’s straps.A low, disapproving grunt left his throat as he spoke after a pause, his voice cold.“Since when did your idea of fresh air include meeting Giselle and Alpha Dorian?”My hands froze mi

  • Silent Howls   Chapter 91

    Liora’s P.O.V.The words landed like a blade wrapped in silk.For a heartbeat, the garden went still. All eyes were fixed on Scarlett as she didn’t stop there. Her voice stayed sweet, almost respectful, but every word she spoke was dipped in poison.She continued calmly, as if she were merely stating facts instead of slicing me open in front of everyone.“Alpha Magnus was the one who led the rebellion,” she said, tilting her head slightly. “He was the one who attacked King Cassian. And from what I had heard,” she went on, glancing at Dorian and Giselle before looking back at me, “King Cassian was injured because he was shielding you from the enemy.”The garden air suddenly felt suffocating, making it hard to breathe. Scarlett smiled faintly, her smile sharp.“So, if your father was a traitor, and the king nearly lost his life because of you... isn’t it only fair that you performed the revival ritual, Sister?”Her question was sharp enough to cut, leaving me at a loss for words. I star

  • Silent Howls   Chapter 90

    Liora’s P.O.V.I felt lighter after talking to Stacy, as if sharing my suspicion had loosened the tight knot around my chest. For the first time since the ceremony, my thoughts slowed down enough for sleep to claim me. When I woke up, it was way past noon, warm light spilling across my room. Stacy was with me again, like the only constant in my life. I let her help me get ready. She zipped me into a soft pink evening gown, the fabric flowing gently around my legs, delicate yet dignified. It wasn’t royal red. It wasn’t a coronation color. But it was mine. She paused, meeting my eyes through the mirror. “Are you sure, Liora?” I nodded without hesitation. “Of course, Stacy. If my guess is right, we can’t afford to stay here anymore.”My stomach churned with nerves, unease licking at my spine like a warning flame despite my firm decision. However, I didn’t let it show. I lifted my chin, painted confidence over fear like armor, and walked out of my chambers.As soon as I stepped outsi
