The King’s Relentless Desire Finally
Chapter One Hundred Eighty-Two Liana POVI stand there for a second, breathing in and trying to settle myself, because this is it. Everything I’ve dragged myself through, every choice that pulled me in circles, every moment I thought I was done for… it all leads right here. And I don’t feel calm. Not even close. My chest stays tight and my hands stay warm like my body is trying to warn me something is about to shift for good.I step forward anyway.The room feels different as soon as I walk in. Like air after a storm, heavy but clear. He’s there, watching me, and I can tell he’s been waiting. He’s not pretending to be collected. He’s not hiding anything. His shoulders stay still in that way people do when they’ve made up their mind about something that doesn’t have a rewind button.I shut the door behind me and his eyes follow the sound. I don’t speak yet. My thoughts scatter too fast. I feel everything I’ve carried hitting me all at once and it almost knocks the breath out of me.He
The King’s Relentless Desire The Line I Cross
Chapter One Hundred Eighty One Liana POV Kael’s mouth is still warm on mine when I pull back a little.My breath catches in my chest.His hand stays on my jaw for a moment longer, like he isn’t ready to let go.Maybe I’m not either.The room feels smaller now.Not tight.Just full.Like every inch of space is charged with the way he looks at me.I shift closer again without thinking.My knees press against his thigh.My fingers slide up the front of his shirt and stop at the base of his throat.He inhales sharply when I touch him there.“I didn’t expect tonight to end like this,” I say.My voice is low, steady, too honest.Kael watches me like he’s learning every part of my face from this distance.“You didn’t do this because you feel alone,” he says.“You chose it.”“I know,” I whisper.“I’m not confused.”His thumb brushes my cheek.It’s slow.Careful.It sends warmth down the side of my neck.I lean into his touch, closing my eyes for a second.My chest rises and falls too fast.
The King’s Relentless Desire What I Chose
Chapter One Hundred Eighty Liana POV Kael’s shoulder stays warm against mine.The room feels different with him sitting here.Not crowded.Just steady in a way my body leans toward before I even realise it.I breathe out slowly.My fingers pick at the edge of the blanket without thinking.My hands won’t stay still.Every breath feels too loud inside my head, but it’s better than the heavy dread that used to sit in my chest whenever doors closed behind me.Kael notices the way my hand fidgets.He doesn’t grab it.He doesn’t try to still it.He lets me move through whatever this feeling is.“I can’t stop replaying his face,” I say.My voice is low, almost tired.Not weak.Just worn down.Like the whole day pressed its hands into me and didn’t let go.Kael shifts a little closer.His knee bumps mine again.The contact feels grounding.“He didn’t expect you to stand against him,” Kael says.“Not like that.”I swallow.My throat feels rough.My brother’s voice echoes in my head even thou
The King’s Relentless Desire After He Walks Away
Chapter One Hundred Seventy Nine Liana POVKael stays beside me even after the door closes behind my brother.Everyone else slowly leaves the room.Footsteps fade.The space empties one body at a time until it’s just the two of us and the tension that still hangs heavy in the air.I let out a long breath I didn’t know I was holding.My hands shake a little.I keep them at my sides so Kael doesn’t see, but he notices anyway.He steps closer.“You held your ground,” he says.His voice stays steady, not praising me, not hovering.Just there.My chest feels tight again, but it’s a different kind this time.Not fear.Something softer.Something I don’t fully trust yet.“I thought I’d fall apart,” I whisper.“You didn’t.”I look at the door where my brother left.For a second I expect him to burst back in, yelling, demanding, dragging me backward again.But nothing happens.Just silence.Not the poetic kind.Just real quiet.The kind that makes my heartbeat sound too loud inside my own hea
The King’s Relentless Desire What I Have to Face
Chapter One Hundred Seventy Eight Liana POVI’m still sitting close to Kael when the knock comes.Not loud.Not urgent.Just enough to pull both of us out of the moment.Kael doesn’t let go of my hand right away.He squeezes once before he stands.“It’s probably Mira checking in,” he says.I nod, but my chest tightens anyway.Everything about today feels like a step forward and a step into fire at the same time.Kael opens the door only halfway.Mira stands there with her arms crossed, eyes sharp but worried.“You two need to get downstairs,” she says.“No one’s shouting, no one’s fighting, but the air feels like a blade about to drop.”Kael turns to me.“You ready?”No.Not completely.But I stand anyway.“I’m coming.”We walk out together.I don’t grab his hand again, but he stays close—close enough that I feel him with every step.The halls look different this morning.No chaos.No shouting.Just people watching us pass like they’re waiting for the conclusion of something they’ve
The King’s Relentless Desire The Last Line I Cross
Chapter One Hundred Seventy Seven Liana POV Kael stays awake longer than I do.I can feel it in the way his breathing stays steady but alert, the way his hand rests on my arm like he’s still guarding the door with his body.I drift in and out, not fully asleep, not fully awake.Just resting against him because it’s the only place where nothing hurts.When I finally sit up, the room is dim.The sky outside has that early-morning grey that suggests the world hasn’t made up its mind yet.Kael opens his eyes the second I move.“You alright?” he asks.I nod, even though my chest still feels tight.He sits up too.His hair is a mess.His shirt is wrinkled.He looks like someone who didn’t sleep but stayed anyway.“Your brother won’t get through the gates again,” Kael says.“They doubled the watch.”“It’s not the gates I’m worried about,” I say quietly.He studies me, patient, waiting for the words I’m struggling with.“I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now,” I admit.“Everything feels…
