Cold Presence

Alpha Kael's POVThe servant adjusted the collar of my black shirt for the third time and I was beginning to lose patience."If you touch that collar again, I'll have you polishing the training grounds with a toothbrush" I said.The young servant immediately stepped back."My apologies, Alpha" he said.I looked at my reflection in the large mirror. The fresh outfit was better than the one Rio had ruined.I still suspected he had spilled that drink intentionally but the question was why.Rio was many things but he was rarely careless, which meant his little accident had a purpose.I just hadn't figured it out yet.The servant nervously brushed invisible dust from my sleeve."Done?""Y-yes, Alpha.""Good."I adjusted my cuffs and glanced toward the large windows of my chambers. The evening sun was beginning to disappear behind the distant hills surrounding the estate.A knock sounded at the door but I already knew who it was. Only one person in this estate knocked that politely."Enter"

Rio’s Warning

Liora's POVI still thought the entire thing was strange and the more I thought about it, the less sense it made.I sat in front of the large vanity mirror while Fay carefully worked on my hair behind me.Soft evening light streamed through the windows, painting the room in warm shades of gold.Everything should have felt peaceful but instead, I felt nervous."Stop frowning. You'll get wrinkles" Fay cautioned as she gently tugged a brush through my hair.I looked at her reflection in the mirror and I couldn't help smiling slightly.Only Fay could make me smile when my thoughts were threatening to spiral but my mind immediately returned to the problem.Amarok.Why was Amarok here?Why had he accepted Alpha Kael's invitation so quickly?Why had he traveled all the way to the estate?And why couldn't I stop thinking about it?Across the room, Tristan was lounging on one of the couches, his tablet rested on his lap.His fingers moved rapidly across the screen, conducting research.It had

Running Late

Alpha Kael’s POV The corridors leading to the dining hall were unusually quiet, filled with an undertone i didn’t fully understand. My footsteps echoed against the polished stone floor as I moved forward, hands clasped behind my back, my expression unreadable but my mind wasn’t. Rio had vanished again for reasons unknown to me after he had stupidly poured wine on me earlier and that alone irritated me more than I cared to admit. He was a Beta. A useful one, yes, but still expected to remain within reach when needed, especially tonight which was not a night for disappearing acts. I stopped one of the guards standing near the hallway entrance. “Where is Rio?” I asked. The guard stiffened instantly. “I—I am not sure, Alpha" he replied. I exhaled slowly through my nose. “Find him" I ordered. “Yes, Alpha.” He hurried off without hesitation then I continued walking towards the grand dining hall. The scent of food grew stronger as I approached the dining hall and e

Moments Before

Rio’s POVThe moment I stepped into her room, I already felt the shift in the air, like the space itself had been holding its breath before I arrived.Fay was mid-motion, adjusting something on Liora’s outfit, Tristan stood frozen and Liora looked at me with shock.I didn’t bother with greetings. There was no time for that.“Why shouldn't I go?" Liora asked immediately she regained herself. The room went still."Because you don't understand what's at stake" I answered. Fay blinked first.“That’s not an answer" she said.“It is.”“No, that’s you giving an order and refusing to explain it” she snapped immediately, stepping closer. I exhaled through my nose, already tired of this conversation before it properly began.“Then call it whatever you want. You’re still not going.”Liora slowly turned toward me and her eyes narrowed.“You've still not said why" she said.I met her gaze.“Because I said so" I replied.Fay scoffed loudly.“Oh, that’s convenient.”Tristan moved closer to me, hi

I Am Not Anyone's Prize

Liora's POVFor several long seconds after Rio spoke, nobody said a word.The fabric of my dress rustled as I shifted where I stood and yet all I could hear was the pounding of my own heartbeat.Buy me?The words echoed unpleasantly inside my head.Fay was the first to recover."What do you mean buy her?" She asked, her voice rising sharply.Tristan looked equally confused and his eyebrows drew together."Rio, what are you talking about?" He asked.Rio rubbed his forehead then sighed heavily."I shouldn't have come here" he said."You absolutely should have" I snapped.My arms folded across my chest."You don't get to say something insane and then leave" I said.Rio's jaw tightened. I could tell he wanted to walk away but none of us were allowing that.His gaze landed on me and for a brief moment, nobody spoke then he finally exhaled."Amarok is a rogue Alpha.""We know that," Fay said."Then why are you acting confused?"Fay glared at him."Because being a rogue Alpha doesn't mean he

An Unwelcome Interest

Alpha Kael's POVMy patience was running out.I sat at the head of the massive dining table, one hand resting against the armrest of my chair as I stared at the entrance to the dining hall.Still no Liora.The feast before us remained untouched. Everything had been arranged to perfection and yet dinner had not started because one troublesome woman was absent.Amarok appeared completely unbothered.The rogue Alpha sat comfortably in his chair, occasionally looking around the hall with open curiosity.His confidence annoyed me.Most men became cautious around me. They watched their words and remembered whose territory they stood in but Amarok did not.I could not decide whether that made him brave or stupid.Probably both."You have an impressive estate, Alpha Kael," Amarok said again.I grunted."I know."That earned a laugh from him. At least he understood there was no point pretending modesty around me.Before either of us could continue the conversation, the grand doors opened and t

Things Left Unsaid

Liora's POVI immediately wished Fay was sitting beside me but that wasn't how things worked in Alpha Kael's estate.I found myself seated at the enormous dining table between people I would rather avoid.Elena sat on one side, Ruby sat beside her and Vesha occupied the next seat.The three women looked elegant and judging from the expressions they kept throwing in my direction, they weren't happy to see me.I could practically feel their irritation.Elena especially.She looked at me as if my mere existence offended her, which honestly wasn't surprising anymore.I adjusted slightly in my chair and glanced behind me.Fay stood among the servants and she offered me an encouraging smile.A few moments later the doors opened again and everyone looked up to see Rio who just entered.He looked composed, as if he hadn't just barged into my room earlier trying to stop me from coming.Alpha Kael's eyes immediately narrowed."You're late" he said.Rio gave an exaggerated sigh."My deepest apol

Do It

Alpha Kael's POVThis dinner was a mistake.That was the conclusion I had reached approximately ten minutes after it started.I should have thanked Amarok for saving Liora, offered him some kind of reward then sent him on his way.Instead, I was sitting at the head of my dining table while chaos unfolded around me from every possible direction.Amarok was entirely too comfortable. Elena, Ruby, and Vesha kept speaking when nobody had asked for their opinions.Rio looked tense, Tristan looked exhausted, Fay looked nervous and Liora kept staring at me.I could feel it, even when I wasn't looking directly at her.Her gaze lingered and it was irritating.I finally lowered my glass and looked directly at her."Look somewhere else" I said.The conversation around the table immediately died down but Liora didn't even flinch."If I don't want to?" She challenged. My jaw tightened.Of course that would be her answer."What did I just say?" My voice turned colder.The confidence in her voice ir

Between Two Auras

Liora’s POVThe blade was still against my throat, cold and unforgiving, yet my body felt like it was the one trembling, not the steel.Inside my head, everything screamed at once.I’m scared.This is messed up.Is he going to kill me now?Those thoughts ran through my head but I couldn’t let it show, not here, not in front of him and most definitely not in front of everyone.So I lifted my chin slightly anyway and said the only thing I could manage.“Do it" I said again, willing my voice to not shake.The silence that followed felt heavier than the blade itself and my heart was beating so fast it hurt."Moon Goddess… don’t let this be how it ends. Don’t let it end like this" I said within myself.Behind Alpha Kael, Amarok moved, slowly at first then he stood and the air in the room shifted instantly.His presence changed the temperature.“Let her go,” Amarok said calmly.Alpha Kael didn’t even turn.“This is none of your concern. She is in my estate and I can do whatever I want with

A Price for Her

Alpha Kael’s POVDespite the huge amount of tension that screamed around the room, I could hear Liora’s fast heartbeat, loud enough that it almost drowned out everything else in the room.She was trying very hard to look calm, to look defiant, to look like she wasn’t shaken by a blade at her throat and blood staining her dress but her body betrayed her.It always did.I almost wanted to mock her for it. For standing there with that stubborn expression while her heart practically betrayed her fear but Amarok was still holding the blade and that was far more interesting.Annoying… but interesting.Very few people touched my weapons and lived long enough to keep standing. Even fewer did it without hesitation.Amarok’s grip bled steadily onto the metal, yet his expression didn’t change.That alone told me enough.He wasn’t weak. He wasn’t stupid either, just irritating.“Let go,” he said again with the wrong tone for someone speaking to me.I tilted my head slightly.“You’re persistent" i
