Liora's POVThe silence after my words felt endless. Every single person standing near the vehicles seemed frozen.The night air drifted through the trees around us, carrying the scent of dirt, smoke, and the distant remains of the chaos we had just escaped.Yet despite everything that had happened tonight, despite Amarok, despite the safe house, the only thing anyone seemed focused on now was the argument between Alpha Kael and me.I stared directly at him, waiting expecting something like an apology or some indication that he understood why I was angry. Instead, Alpha Kael simply stared back.His expression was unreadable and that pissed me off even more.I folded my arms tighter."Well? Are you going to say something?"His jaw tightened and the silence stretched then finally, Alpha Kael exhaled slowly. He rubbed a hand across his face and for a brief moment, he looked exhausted then he looked directly at me and finally spoke."I am tired of this argument" he said.I blinked.That w

Elena's POVI woke up feeling annoyed which was strange because when I had gone to bed last night, I had been in an excellent mood.A wonderful mood, actually.I stared up at the ceiling frowning. The sensation lingered like a warning, or perhaps a bad omen.The thought irritated me.I wasn't superstitious, at least not usually. Yet I couldn't shake the feeling.A sharp knock interrupted my thoughts."Enter."The door immediately opened and my three maids hurried into the room."Good morning, Luna Elena.""Morning."The oldest maid immediately approached the curtains and pulled them open. Sunlight flooded the room and I squinted."That's unnecessary" I said.The maid smiled nervously."It is morning, Luna.""I noticed" I replied rudely.The younger maids quickly got to work. One moved toward the wardrobe while another began organizing make up.A third maid started preparing my bath. Meanwhile, I remained seated on the bed, still annoyed.The oldest maid paused. Her eyes studied me car

Alpha Kael's POVI stood in the center of the security command room, a large map of the estate spread across the long oak table before me. Several lanterns illuminated the room, casting warm light over marked patrol routes, guard towers, gates, and the surrounding forest.Across from me stood my chief of guards, Gareth, who studied the map carefully."We've already doubled the patrols around the eastern wall, Alpha."I nodded then pointed toward the northern woods."If I were Amarok, I wouldn't attack the main entrance" I said.Gareth followed my finger."The forest.""Exactly. He'll try to exploit blind spots" I said."Or create new ones" he added.Gareth crossed his arms."We've stationed snipers in the watchtowers" he said.I leaned over the map."Amarok isn't reckless" I said.Gareth wrote several notes before looking back at me."And what about Lady Liora?"The question made me sigh."What about her?" I asked. "If Amarok truly wants her, then she'll become the primary target" he

Rio's POVI had to admit it. Seeing the look on Elena's face had been incredibly satisfying.The woman had spent so much time making Liora's life miserable that watching her expression crumble the moment she realised Liora had returned alive almost made the sleepless night worthwhile.I chuckled to myself as I walked through the corridors of the estate.Anyone who hadn't witnessed the chaos of Amarok's safe house would have assumed today was just another ordinary morning.I, however, felt anything but ordinary. Every muscle in my body ached and my head was filled with too many thoughts, mostly about Alpha Kael, Amarok, Liora and her mysterious secret.I reached my bedroom and pushed the door open."I seriously need some sleep" I said.The words died in my throat. Someone was already inside.Tristan stood near the window with his arms folded tightly across his chest. He wasn't looking outside anymore, he was looking directly at me and judging from the expression on his face, this wasn'

Liora's POVThe moment the heavy doors of Alpha Kael's study closed behind us, I released a slow breath I hadn't realised I had been holding.I refused to look at him, I simply couldn't. Every nerve in my body still remembered what had happened inside that room.The way he'd stood so close, the way his voice had curled around my thoughts until I couldn't tell where my anger ended and something far more dangerous began.I hated it.I hated him.And yet, I could still feel the warmth of his touch lingering against my skin.I clenched my fists.Get yourself together, Liora.My cheeks burned with humiliation. Worse still, I could feel the embarrassing warmth between my thighs, a reminder of how my own body had betrayed me despite how fiercely I despised him.It made me want to scream."You asshole," I muttered under my breath.Kael slowed his steps just enough to glance sideways at me."What was that?""Nothing" I replied immediately. "I don't believe you.""I wasn't asking you to" I sai
