All Chapters of Alpha's Games of Lies & Lust : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“Hello, mate,” Gael smiled sweetly. His eyes darkened with a sudden, sharp lust as his gaze swept over her body, covered only by the thin silk of her bathrobe. “Can I come in?”Zoriana motioned for him to enter, her heart still hammering against her ribs. “What are you doing here, Gael?”He stepped into the room, his eyes scanning her private space. The bathroom door was still slightly ajar, and the steam—carrying the heavy scent of lavender bubbles and the unmistakable musk of her own recent release—filled the room.Gael’s eyes narrowed for a split second, a flash of anger crossing his face before he visibly relaxed. He didn’t catch any male scent; she was alone. The realization clearly fueled his ego—he assumed she had been pleasuring herself while thinking of him.The thought of his mate whispering his name as she shattered for him visibly excited him.“I came to visit my father... and to see you, naughty little wolf,” he said, his voi

The Queen entered Gael’s study, a flicker of hope burning in her eyes. “Mother, I just visited the King,” Gael said, looking up. “His health has improved drastically. Soon, we will be welcoming him back home.” Calista donned a look of cheerful agreement, though the light in her eyes vanished instantly—as if a candle had been snuffed out behind her pupils. “Excellent news,” she mumbled, pulling a chair closer to her son and taking his hand. Her eyes locked onto his. “Gael, you are not just a wolf; you are a future king. Your position requires sacrifice. You know your father also had a fated mate, and she was not the right match.” She paused, her grip tightening. “I observed you during the ball. I know Zoriana is your fated mate. But she is not right for you.” “Zoriana is the daughter of Alpha Clayton and the heir to the Black Rose pack—a large, influential pack. She is the first female Alpha. She is more than

“Alpha, it was just Jenny. I sent her in to clean your study,” Roman’s voice drifted through the cabinet door. “Fine then,” Tristan muttered. Zoriana exhaled a silent, trembling breath of relief. She heard the scrape of chairs against the floor and closed her eyes, praying they wouldn’t stay long. “The meeting went well enough. But do you actually trust Bjorn?” Roman asked. “He’s been paid well, so he’ll play his part. But no, of course I don’t trust him completely.” Hearing it directly from the source felt like a physical blow. No doubt remained. Tristan was funding the rogue leader, paying for the very chaos meant to dethrone Gael. “Anyway, Roman, wasn’t half a day in a rogue camp enough for you?” Tristan’s voice took on a mocking edge. “We’re back at the pack, and you’re still talking about criminals.” “Oh, sorry, boss. If rogues aren't your favourite topic, shall we talk abou

Tristan clenched his fist and punched the bedroom wall. The crack of plaster echoed in the silent room.“You could have claimed her,” Mars, his wolf, growled angrily. “Instead, you broke her heart.”Tristan narrowed his eyes, the memory of the hurt in Zoriana’s gaze haunting him. His words had cut her deep, and while he wasn’t actually mad at her, he was furious with himself. He was mad for playing it cold, for not confessing how he really felt, and for craving the sweetness of her lips more with every passing second.The moment they kissed, he knew he was a goner. He would crave her more, think about her more, and yet she was still off-limits. Zoriana was the fated mate of his half-brother, for the Goddess’s sake—and she had accepted the bond.Tristan poured a measure of whiskey into a crystal glass and sat on the sofa, staring aimlessly out the window. He was the most powerful Alpha in the realm, one of the wealthiest men alive, and yet it felt

An uncomfortable silence stretched over the table.“Kira, how did you and Tristan meet?” Gael asked, his curiosity breaking the tension.“My mother was Tristan’s nanny, so we’ve known each other since we were pups. Tristan was always so kind to me—he used to save me from the pack bullies,” Kira replied softly. She looked so innocent and sweet that Zoriana found it impossible to dislike her. It would have been easier to hate a scheming socialite like Milana, but Kira was genuinely adorable.“Typical Tristan. Always so noble,” Gael said smoothly, though he struggled to suppress the urge to mock his ‘perfect’ half-brother.“And Your Highness... how did you two meet?” Kira asked innocently, her wide eyes moving between Gael and Zoriana.“Alpha Zoriana is a Council member and a Royal Advisor,” Gael stated. He was clearly defining the official nature of their bond, and while it stung Zoriana, it hurt far less than seeing Tristan looki
