All Chapters of Alpha's Games of Lies & Lust : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

In the centre of the rogue camp’s throne room, two warriors held a man on his knees.“You were supposed to follow orders, you stupid piece of shit! I said no one touches the female Alpha,” Bjorn roared.“She killed my mate! My wolf went mad with the pain,” the warrior pleaded, but Bjorn silenced him with a brutal punch to the jaw.“You disobeyed orders and led your entire unit to attack her. If you can’t follow simple instructions and control your beast, you’re useless to me,” Bjorn spat, pulling back for another blow.“But... my mate—”“Stop mumbling like a child! Your mate was a warrior; she knew the risks when she took the mission. You were supposed to bury her and find another. We have no shortage of bitches. But no... you had to play the hero and get your unit slaughtered by Tristan,” Bjorn hissed. “Do you love her? Do you want to be with her forever? I’ll grant your wish.”Bjorn hoisted his heavy broadsword into the air. “Y

Zoriana sipped her coffee in the cosy little café, her gaze fixed steadily on Ryder.He had claimed he wanted to hire ZRoux, yet he’d spent the last five minutes sitting in a heavy, awkward silence. Zoriana didn't have all day.“Alpha Ryder,” she said, breaking the quiet. “You said you wanted to hire my agency for a case. Please, go ahead. What service do you require?”“I need a detective,” Ryder said, his voice firm but strained. “I need someone to dig up everything they can on Milana.”Zoriana let out a bitter, hollow laugh. “Shadows in paradise? Is your sweet little dove not so sweet anymore?” She leaned forward, her expression turning serious. “Hire a private investigator, Ryder. There are plenty of them. You don’t need an elite intelligence service to trail an unfaithful wife.”“She isn’t my wife, and I’m not even sure she’s been unfaithful,” Ryder grumbled, his jaw tightening until the bone protruded. “I just... I feel lik

“Lila!” Zoriana called out, barely able to believe her luck.The woman stopped and turned, a tentative smile touching her lips.“My name is Zoriana. We met back at the cottage,” Zoriana said, stepping closer. “I went back to visit you, but you had already disappeared.”“I remember you,” Lila replied softly. “I was transferred to the hospital first, and once I was discharged, I was brought here to the packhouse.”“Are you a member of the Iron Heart pack?” Zoriana asked.Lila’s face hardened instantly, her joyful mood vanishing like a snuffed candle.“No. I am the daughter of the Howling Wolf Beta couple,” she said, her voice laced with a bitter sorrow. “But after their daughter served as a rogue leader’s plaything, my parents didn’t want me back. Alpha Tristan was kind enough to offer me a place to stay here instead.”Zoriana felt a pang of guilt for digging into the woman’s trauma, but she couldn’t stop now. She had to k

Zoriana went to her bedroom to change, her movements mechanical. She dressed in black pants and a royal blue off-the-shoulder top. As her gaze landed on her bare neck, she reached for the necklace Gael had given her. She froze, hesitating for a heartbeat.“What’s the point of playing house if I’m not confident in our bond?” she whispered, her fingers grazing the diamond heart. “The deeper I dive into royal affairs, the more I realize that maybe Flavia was the better choice for Queen after all. I could learn the games of the court, but I can’t fake smiles or be civil with people I despise. Flavia can.”“Will you give up your fated mate without a fight?” Kalina, her wolf, asked. “Does he mean nothing to you?”“I don’t even know if our bond is worth fighting for anymore,” Zoriana replied, finally fastening the clasp. She looked at herself in the mirror. The necklace was beautiful, but the metal felt cold against her skin, the diamonds devoid of warmth. She fe

Zoriana entered the packhouse in a foul mood. Her lovely afternoon had been completely dismantled by Flavia’s venom. She wanted nothing more than to eat a quick bite and bury her frustration on the training grounds, but Fairuza and Luke appeared out of nowhere.“We’re going to cook lunch together. Please join us,” Fairuza offered kindly.Zoriana wasn’t in the mood to socialize, and the moment she opened her mouth to decline, Luke looked up at her with a massive, adorable smile.“Please? I’ll make pasta for you,” Luke said, looking so cute that Zoriana’s defences crumbled instantly.“I’d be happy to join you,” she conceded.The three of them moved to the kitchen on the Alpha floor. Zoriana froze for a second, rubbing her neck uncomfortably. Standing at the kitchen counter was the last person she wanted to see: Tristan. Roman was beside him, and it looked like they were already part of the midday fun.Fairuza ignored Zoriana’s murd
