CHAPTER TEN

LIANA’S POV
I didn’t know what to expect when Killian kept driving without saying a word. His jaw was tight, his eyes locked on the road
like nothing else mattered. But I definitely wasn’t expecting this.
A mansion.
No, not just a mansion, a palace pretending to be a home. The tall iron gates opened the second he pulled up. The driveway stretched so long it felt as if we were entering another world. at the end of it stood a house so big and beautiful it looked like
something from a dream or maybe a nightmare.
Killian drove straight into the garage. He didn’t say a thing or even glance at me. He just got out, went to the back seat, and
picked Ryan up gently as if he was holding something precious.
I sat there frozen, watching him like I didn’t belong here. Because honestly, I didn’t.
Just then, a butler appeared from nowhere and bowed deeply.
“Alpha,” the man said respectfully.
Alpha?
Killian didn’t even pause. “Get the stuff from the trunk and bring it inside.”
I opened my mouth to speak, to remind him those things weren’t his but nothing came out. The butler off to do exactly what Killian said as if it was normal.

Killian was already inside, still holding Ryan close to his chest. When I hurried after him, I tried not to look like

The front doors opened before we reached them. a woman came out fast. She was older, elegant, graceful me feel quite small. She smiled warmly and bowed.
“Welcome back, alpha.”
There it was again. Alpha.
Killian nodded. “Is it ready?”

“Yes, alpha,” she replied right away. “The little heir’s room has been prepared exactly how you wanted. Everything’s suited
for a young boy.”
I froze. Little heir? Young boy? She meant Ryan?
Then she looked at me. Her smile still kind. She bowed again.
“Welcome, Luna.”
Luna
I didn’t know what it meant, not exactly. But her tone made my stomach twist. Still, I bowed slightly back to be polite.
“I’m Omega Agnes,” she said softly.
Omega? Alpha? Luna? I didn’t understand any of it.
Killian’s deep voice cut through my thoughts. “Take Ryan to his room. Don’t wake him.”

“Of course, alpha.” She took Ryan from his arms gently and disappeared down the hallway.
I stood alone in the grand foyer with Killian, hugging myself tightly. I felt completely out of place.
“Killian, I-” I started to speak. But he didn’t let me finish.
He grabbed me by the waist, not rough but firm and led me down the hall. We passed huge staircases, fancy lights, polished
floors, until we stopped in front of a pair of large double doors.
Before I could ask where we were going, he pushed them open and led me
in
I stopped cold.
It was a bedroom. No, the bedroom. His bedroom. It was massive. Warm. Far too intimate. Every inch of it screamed things I
wasn’t ready to face.
Then he shut the door behind us. I heard the soft click of the lock. My chest tightened with panic.
“Wait,” I said quickly as I saw him start unbuttoning his shirt. My voice trembled. “Killian, I can

He didn’t say anything. His eyes stayed on me while his fingers kept working. The shirt opened slowly, showing more and
more of his chest. His hard muscles and golden skin.
I looked up as fast as I could, trying not to let myself get distracted
“Thank you for letting me stay tonight,” I said nervously. “But I’ll leave first thing tomorrow. I don’t want my stay to bother
you.”
I turned toward the door, ready to leave, but before I could even touch the handle, he was in front of and pulled me back firmly until my back hit the wall.

His eyes locked on mine. Quite dark and intense.
“You’re not going anywhere, Liana,” he said, voice low and deadly. “This is your home now. You belong here. With me.”
“Killian-” I gasped, shaking my head. “No. I can’t do this. We can’t just pretend-”
ます
He laughed darkly, leaning in so close I could feel his breath against my skin. It made me shiver.
“You’ll see,” he whispered, his lips brushing my cheek.
Then his hand slid up and grabbed my chin gently, forcing me to meet his eyes. His gaze was full of something I didn’t understand. He wasn’t the cold, cruel man I remembered. He looked hungry now. Possessive. Dangerous.
“I fucking missed you,” he growled, his voice vibrating against my throat as he leaned down and buried his face there.
I gasped as his nose dragged slowly along my neck. His lips brushed my pulse. Then he breathed me in deeply, as if he was
getting drunk on my scent.
“Killian,” I whispered, my whole body shaking. “Stop…. please.”
But he didn’t
He pressed his body against mine, caging me in as he kept nuzzling into my neck. His lips ghosted over my skin
“You smell exactly the same,” he murmured. “Sweet. Fucking addictive. Mine.”
I shoved him back Harder this time. I finally managed to create space between us
“You can’t do this,” I said, out of breath and burning with embarrassment. “I can’t stay here. I won’t share a bed with you.

This is insane.”
He just smirked calmly, like none of this was crazy.
Then he pulled his shirt off completely, letting it fall. I couldn’t help it, my eyes dropped. His chest was flawless. Every muscle cut and perfect. The heat coming off him made it hard to breathe.
“You’re staying,” he said simply. “and yeah. You’ll sleep in this bed. With me.”
My mouth dropped open. “You’re insane.”
He chuckled darkly and walked into the bathroom.
Before closing the door, he looked over his shoulder and smirked again. “Unless you’d rather
I froze.
My face burned. I quickly turned away, looking up at the ceiling.
“Never,” I hissed, flustered.
“Your loss,” he said. Then shut the door behind him.

I stood there, heart racing, completely stunned. My legs were shaking. I sank to the floor, curling knees.
I couldn’t do this. I couldn’t stay here.
I had to get out.
But when I stood up and tried the bedroom door, my heart sank.
It was locked.
Not by mistake.
Killian had locked me in. Only he could open it.
I was trapped.

Just then, the bathroom door opened. Killian walked out, bare except for a towel hanging low on his hips. Water glistened on his golden skin, dripping down his chest, down his abs, down to the towel. I didn’t look lower. But I didn’t have to. I felt what was under it.
I swallowed hard. My throat dry. My face burned.
He smirked, eyes on me. “Like what you see, Lia?”
I turned away fast. My hands covering my face. My heart wouldn’t slow down.
“Y–you’re disgusting,” I muttered.
He just laughed as he walked across the room.
And I sat there Trapped My body felt hot. My thoughts spinning, knowing this night wasn’t anywhere close to being over.
