All Chapters of Alpha Vorthrane's Pet: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Liora's POVFor several seconds, I couldn't move.Dust floated through the air where the door had once stood, broken pieces of wood littered the floor and the guard who had been holding me was sprawled against the opposite wall, groaning in pain.My heart thundered in my ears.What just happened?Slowly, I lifted my gaze toward the doorway and a tall figure stood there with broad shoulders.My eyes widened."Rio?"Of all the people I expected to see, he was the last one.Rio looked around the room then his eyes swept over my wrist, the knife on the floor, and the guard struggling to get up.His jaw immediately tightened and I blinked."What are you doing here?" I asked.Rio let out an irritated breath."That is seriously the first thing you're asking me?"I stared at him but he pointed toward the guard."This idiot was seconds away from hurting you" he said."I know that.""And you're asking why I'm here?"I frowned."Well... yes" I replied stubbornly. Rio rubbed a hand over his face

Alpha Kael's POV The knock never came.One second, I was alone in my room, finding myself enjoying the rare sensation of my hand stroking my cock until pre-cum fell, my fingers pinching my nipples. The next, the door swung open without warning.My head snapped toward the entrance and the fury that surged through me was immediate when I saw Tristan.He froze in the doorway and his eyes widened, then, unfortunately for him, his gaze dropped for half a second to my still hard erect dick before shooting back to my face.His expression instantly became one of pure regret."Oh, shit."I slowly stood from the wall. The murderous look I gave him should have been enough to make him run."Alpha..." Tristan started nervously."What?" I snapped."I can explain.""You'd better" i replied. His throat bobbed."I knocked.""No, you didn't" I countered. My jaw clenched.Of all the moments to interrupt me, he had somehow chosen the worst possible one. I had been seconds away from finally relaxing af

Amarok's POV The three guards knelt on the cold floor of my study..The atmosphere in the room was suffocating and no one dared speak. The only sounds came from the crackling fireplace and the occasional groan from the guard Rio had beaten nearly to death. I sat behind my desk, staring at them. My patience was completely gone. The events of the day had created chaos throughout the safe house, and now I intended to discover exactly why. To my right stood Cassian. His arms were crossed over his chest while his expression remained as unimpressed as ever. He looked annoyed, but then again, Cassian always looked annoyed, especially when Liora was involved. "Let's start with something simple," I said calmly. The three guards immediately lowered their heads as I leaned back in my chair. "Why did you take Liora hostage?" I asked. One of the guards swallowed while another visibly trembled. The third, the one Rio had nearly crippled, could barely lift his head. His face was s

Rio’s POV For what felt like the hundredth time, I paced across the small holding room.The room wasn't technically a prison cell. There were no bars, no chains, no iron restraints, but the locked door might as well have been all three.I couldn't leave. That was all that mattered.My frustration grew with every passing second."Damn it."I raked a hand through my hair. Everything had gone wrong.The plan had been simple. Find Liora, get her away from the guards, get her back to the estate, avoid unnecessary attention, and most importantly, make sure Amarok never found out.Simple, or at least it should have been. Instead, Liora had decided to make everything ten times harder.I groaned."Stubborn woman."I resumed pacing. The memory of our argument replayed in my mind.I couldn't understand it. I had literally risked my neck for her and I got resistance in return."Unbelievable."I kicked lightly at the leg of the chair as I passed and it wobbled.I immediately regretted it. Now th

Liora’s POV The knife remained pressed against Rio's throat and my hand didn't shake, my eyes never left his.For the first time since I had met him, I wasn't confused by him, I wasn't intimidated by him nor was I grateful to him.I was very angry.Rio looked genuinely shocked, not by the knife, by me, as if he couldn't believe I was capable of holding a blade to someone's throat.Maybe he was right.A few weeks ago, I wouldn't have been. A few weeks ago, I probably would have cried first.But now I was tired.Tired of secrets, tired of lies, tired of people making decisions about my life without telling me the truth."Tell me everything," I said.Rio carefully swallowed. The movement caused the blade to press slightly harder against his skin."Liora—""No more excuses."My voice came out colder than I expected."I am not making excuses" he said."Then start talking."His eyes narrowed."I already told you the truth" he said.I laughed bitterly. The sound surprised even me."The tru
