The way he said "beast" made something twist inside me. There was an edge to his words, a dark promise that suggested something far worse than just violence. And…could it be? …his voice, it sounded like two voices merged into one, as if something else, someone else, was speaking along with him. An animal. Was my mind slipping, or had I really heard that? I couldn't afford to second-guess myself. Hours of captivity were already beginning to blur my senses, drawing me into a spiral of doubt. If I didn’t escape, I’d be lost to this man’s madness.
“Look, I really don’t know why you’re doing this to me.” My voice was steady, but desperation clawed at the edges. “I haven’t killed anyone. And if you believe I have, let’s go to the police. They’ll decide whether I’m guilty. I’ll accept punishment if they prove it, okay? Let’s handle this like civilized adults…”
“Police?” He chuckled, a low, dark sound that echoed through the trees, filling the silence with a sinister hum. I froze, feeling the weight of something terrible, something inescapable. He took a step closer, his shadow falling over me, blotting out everything else.
“Here, I am the authority,” he declared, his voice reverberating through the forest, twisting the night into something otherworldly. “I am the judge, I am the jury, and I am your executioner.” His hand gripped the back of my neck, yanking me forward until our faces were inches apart, his gaze piercing, relentless. “I am your god, and I am your devil here, Damon.”
The silence that followed was suffocating, pressing down on me as if his very words had woven a prison around me. And for a heartbeat, I was back in a place I thought I’d buried years ago, back to the day I’d sworn I’d never be in anyone’s grasp again. Twelve years had passed since that accident. The one time I’d felt powerless, utterly helpless, at someone’s mercy. I’d vowed that day to take control of my life, my fate, and never surrender it again.
But now? Here was this man, holding me in his iron grip, claiming dominion over me with a terrifying certainty. My heart hammered, old wounds stirring anger deep inside me, anger that outweighed the fear. I wasn’t going to let this stranger break me, no matter how dark his threats.
I met his gaze, refusing to back down, and forced my voice to stay steady. “I refuse to accept you as anything of mine,” I said, my tone hard and unshaking. “You are neither the god I worship nor the devil in my nightmares.”
For a moment, he just stared at me with an emotionless gaze, “Care to repeat that?” he asked, voice dripping with challenge, eyes dark and assessing.
My pulse quickened, but I didn’t hesitate.
“Why?” I taunted, inching closer to him, my breath hot and steady against his. “Are you afraid you’re losing control?” I let out a low, mocking chuckle, letting him see the smirk I knew would provoke him. “I’m not scared of you. If you want to kill me, then pull out that gun, shoot me, and end this!”
He didn’t react. Not a single flicker of doubt or fear in his expression. Instead, his hand tightened on the back of my neck, fingers digging into my skin as he leaned in closer, his voice low, dripping with an evilness that sent chills up my spine. “You think I won’t? You think your life has any weight here, Damon?” he whispered, his words chillingly calm. “Then let’s find out.” With that, he seized my arm, his grip like iron as he began to drag me deeper into the forest.
Twisting my arm, he forced me forward, his every step an unspoken threat that echoed through my bones. “Where… where are you taking me?!” I shouted in a panic. Branches tore at my clothes as he pulled me along, while my heart started drumming in my chest with his silent treatment. It was nerve wracking and scary. Where might he be taking me?
The damp earth squelched underfoot as he dragged me forward, his iron grip strong around my wrist. I could barely keep up, each step sending a fresh wave of nausea through me. I stumbled but fought to stay upright. He didn’t care if I was half-dead or bleeding. To him, I was nothing more than something to be dragged along. Maybe a stray animal he could shove around. I could tell this man hated me to the marrow of his bones.
That’s when I noticed it. The ground beneath my feet had grown strangely wet, and a smell, sour, swampy, began to fill the air. I looked ahead, my heart hammering as realization dawned. It was the stretch of wetlands, vast and ominous, a thick, soupy swamp nestled in the shadows of twisted trees and creeping vines.
The sight made my stomach turn. “Why are you taking me there?! I’m not going in!” I shrieked, my voice cracking under the weight of my fear. Panic overtook me as I thrashed, trying desperately to pull free from his grip. The idea of being led into that swamp…it felt like a one-way trip to a place I’d never return from. I could already feel the mud closing in around my ankles, swallowing me whole.
But he didn't so much as blink. His grip on my arm tightened as he pushed me forward to swamp, ignoring my every word. “NO!” I yelled, my voice breaking as I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing for the inevitable plunge. I saw my life flash before me, saw the faces of those I’d left behind, the things I hadn’t done, the love I’d never found. Desperation clawed at me, and for the first time, a small, broken whisper escaped my lips. “No… please…”
And then I felt it. his hand wrapping around mine, pulling me back with a brutal force.
Gasping, I opened my eyes, to find myself stumbling backward, only to slam into his chest. I was panting, my heart racing, every nerve in me alight with confusion and fear. My mind reeled. Had he really just… saved me? After he’d been the one to push me toward that death trap in the first place?
“How could you…” My voice trembled, the words barely escaping my lips. I was a mix of disbelief and anger, my head spinning as I looked up at him.
A smile curled at the corner of his mouth, cold and mocking. “Did you forget?” he asked, his voice smooth, taunting. “I am a beast.”
As he spoke, his eyes shifted, darkening to an unnatural, deep shade of brown…wild, animalistic, yet powerful, something far beyond human. I felt my blood run cold as I realized what I was looking into. This man was more than dangerous; he was something else entirely. This wasn’t just a twisted soul with a vendetta. No, he was something darker, primal… monstrous.
He was not a human?
A whisper escaped me before I could stop it, my voice barely audible. “Who… who are you?”
He tilted my chin up not with his fingers but… my face turning white at the site of his claws, rough yet controlled, his face so close that I could feel his breath against my lips. “Call me Alpha.”
His sexy voice entered my ears, making my heart skip a beat.
Fuck my life.
I was in the clutches of a monster!

Kiss Me Liar 5. MINE
ODINRegret clawed at me like a ghost that refused to be exorcized, lingering in every empty space where her laughter should have been. I had been close enough to catch her, close enough to reach her, if only I’d acted a moment sooner. She would still be smiling and calling me brother. But I was just a second too late. All I could do was watch as her body plummeted from the top floor of the apartment building, swallowed by a silence that tore at me as her life slipped away right in front of my eyes. I couldn’t protect her. Lynn. My baby sister. The one I remember cradling in my arms the day she was born, her tiny fingers curling around mine, so fragile yet so full of life.Now, eighteen years later, I cradle her again, but all that life was gone.Just three months ago, she’d been dragging me around town, excited about college, demanding I buy her everything she’d need, and begging me for an apartment close to campus. She’d wanted so badly to live on her own, experience life outside the

ZEUS A pair of brown, animal-like eyes, hairy hands that looked almost like claws…I rubbed my eyes and blinked away the images, muttering, “What kind of shitty dream was that?” My head was still foggy, my senses playing tricks. Admittedly, the guy who’d kidnapped me had an intimidating presence. Strong, silent, with a piercing look that unnerved me. But to think that he was something more than human? A monster or… worse? Ridiculous.“What the hell am I even thinking?” I scolded myself. It hadn’t been twenty-four hours since he’d dragged me into this nightmare, and already I was losing my grip on reality. But as the hazy memories settled, one came into focus, as clear as if it were happening again: “Call me Alpha.” His voice had been low, commanding, with an underlying edge that felt… powerful. Like he owned not just the moment, but everything within reach. Including me.“Alpha?” I muttered, the name feeling strange on my tongue. There was something unnervingly fitting about it. He wa

ZEUS “Who are you?” He didn’t flinch, didn’t even glance in my direction. His entire focus stayed fixed on the fire. The silence he directed towards me felt suffocating, a dismissal so deliberate it made my skin crawl, as though I wasn’t even worthy of a response because I was his captive. My jaw tightened, but I refused to back down. “What’s your name?” I pressed, my voice sharper now. Finally, he looked at me. His voice was cold, detached. “It’s Alpha to you.” “That doesn’t sound like a name,” I muttered under my breath, frustration lacing my words. It was clear he had no intention of revealing anything about himself. But I was desperate. Knowing even a shred of information about him might help me understand the kind of person or creature holding me hostage. Only then could I plan my escape. Suddenly, the sharp cry of a vulture echoed through the quiet, making me jump. My eyes darted upward, and there was a massive bird circling ominously above us. My breath caught. “What

ZEUS“AAAAAA!” Raw frustration tore from my throat, ricocheting off the cracked walls of the shack and spilling out into the crisp morning air. My chest heaved as I sat there, glaring at the wooden floor, my face flushed, eyes red from a sleepless night. Shame burned in me like an unrelenting fire, spreading from the tips of my ears to the pit of my stomach. I’d never, not in my entire life, felt so humiliated as I had yesterday.That moment. That damned moment. It replayed in my mind like a cursed loop, and no matter how much I tried to shove it aside, the memory surged back with unrelenting clarity. The Alpha’s voice was calm, sexy yet taunting when he had offered me a "shortcut," the nature of which was so degrading, so infuriating, that even now my fists clenched at the thought.The worst part wasn’t just the suggestion itself, it was the audacity of it. The ease with which he reduced me to nothing more than… a manwhore…. No. I wouldn’t even let the word form in my mind. But what

ZEUSWithout a word, he turned and started walking deeper into the woods, his broad shoulders cutting a path through the greenery.“Hey, where are you going?” I called after him, frowning. My voice sounded more uncertain than I liked.He didn’t answer. Instead, his stride remained steady, and for reasons I couldn’t quite explain, I found myself following him. My feet moved almost on their own, driven by a mix of curiosity, defiance, and a strange feeling that I could not explain. He glanced back at me once as I followed him.As we emerged from the dense woods, my jaw dropped at the sight before me. A sprawling river stretched out ahead, its waters shimmering under the sunlight. It was so clear that I could see the smooth pebbles beneath

ODINThe moment I pushed the door open, Cade’s scent hit me. A scent that was rarely sharpened by tension, layered with something close to unease. Giving me a hint as to why he suddenly asked for an audience though mind-link. He stood stiffly in the dim light, his eyes snapping in my direction the second I entered. Without a word, I moved around the desk and leaned back against it, folding my arms across my chest. “What’s the matter, Cade?” I asked, my tone low, measured, but edged with impatience. “Make it quick.”Cade’s jaw tightened as he straightened. “Alpha, on my way here, I found traces in the southeastern woods. Signs of a wolf.”I tilted my head slightly, amusement flickering at the corners of my lips. “A wolf?” I repeated, my voice laced with dark curiosity. “An intruder? In my territory?”It had to be like a joke. No one had dared to trespass here… not in decades. My land was protected by ironclad wards and fear. Even rogues gave it a wide berth. But Cade’s serious express

ZEUSThe river water was cool. It washed away the grime and sweat from my body, leaving me feeling lighter than I had since I first woke up in this gloomy forest. The bath was so good that it awakened my senses and lifted my spirits. After all, this was the best thing that happened to me after I had been kidnapped.After scrubbing myself clean, I washed my clothes. Once dressed in a loose T-shirt and a pair of soft, worn bottoms from the polythene bag, I began making my way back along the path I’d memorized earlier. The bag dangled from my hand, and my gaze fell on it with a mix of gratitude and suspicion. The Alpha.... my kidnapper, my tormentor, my... whatever he was—had supplied me with toiletries, clothes, and a towel. I hadn’t expected that. Hell, I’d half-expected him to leave me in an ongoing state of filth just to enjoy the sight of me suffering. But no. He’d gone out of his way to provide the necessities. The thought left a bitter taste in my mouth. Why? What could he po

ZEUSSomething about the man seemed off.His 5’10” lean figure was coated in dried mud and the clothes he was wearing seemed loose as if they were not his, rather he had stolen them from somewhere.But it wasn’t his unsettling appearance that made me uneasy. It was the suffocating air around him, an sinister force that seemed to press my mind in a negative way. Then there were his eyes… pale blue, predatory, and sharp as a blade. They pierced through me as if they were provoking me.The man’s voice, soft yet commanding, sliced through the gloomy stillness. “Come to me,” he said, his lips curling into a wide, unsettling smile.I raised an eyebrow at him, unsure whether to laugh or feel creeped out. “What?” I asked, taking a

Kiss Me Liar CHAPTER 93. HUSBAND
ZEUS"You would not like the old Odin."Odin’s words echoed in my mind all night, refusing to let me rest. The next day as I stood in the kitchen, stirring the pot, I barely noticed when the heat came close to searing me until the sting snapped me back to reality. I yelped, jerking my hand away just in time before I got burned.With a shaky breath, I turned off the stove and gripped the edge of the counter. What the hell had last night been about? Odin had looked at me like he was certain I was hiding something. Dead serious.He wasn’t wrong.When I returned to Odin that day, I had a plan. First, to prove to him
Kiss Me Liar CHAPTER 92. ONE NAME THAT REFUSE TO LEAVE MIND
ODINAfter settling matters with the Council, I left with Damon and the baby.They had acted on their own accord and killed the baby’s mother, so I made sure they took care of her last rites. The child’s identity was erased from all records. officially, she was already dead. This way, she could have a new future, a new name… a new life.The entire ride back, I couldn’t help but watch Damon’s face. He was smiling…a rare, genuine smile as he held the baby in his arms. I had never seen him this happy.“Do you like babies?” I asked, keeping my eyes on the road.Damon glanced at me. “Actually, this is the first baby I’ve ever held, so I don’t know if I like babies in general&hell
Kiss Me Liar CHAPTER 91. ODIN’S ENEMY
ZEUSBefore I could react, the werewolf grabbed my collar, yanking me closer. “Don’t be cocky just because you’re with Alpha Romano! Meddling in our business will get you killed.”Jay was about to intervene, but before he could, I slammed my forehead into the man’s nose with all my strength. He howled in pain, stumbling back with blood pouring from his nose.I smirked. “You know who I’m with, yet you still dare to underestimate me?”The werewolf’s fury turned into hesitation.I turned to the woman, helping her to her feet. “Whatever twisted business you’re involved in, I won’t let you kill this baby,” I declared.
Kiss Me Liar CHAPTER 90. A BABY
ZEUSBy late morning, we had driven out of Romano territory. The journey was long, yet thrilling, especially when Odin stopped by a cave he had discovered while hunting with his father at the age of nine. He even taught me how to catch a fish with my bare hands! It required a special skill and technique, and I could tell this man could survive in the wild without any modern facilities.Before we left home, I had packed some sandwiches. We ate them inside the cave, laughing and chatting about random things before continuing our journey.As we drove, curiosity got the better of me. “By the way, why are you taking me with you? Am I even allowed to be there?”Odin glanced at me with a smirk. “I was afraid you’d get homesick, so I thought about bringing you al

ZEUSIt had been three days, and still no message from Gary. I stood under the shower, lost in thought. Where had things gone wrong? Uncertainty gnawed at me, making it impossible to stay calm. I had to find a way to contact him.Wearing a bathrobe, I stepped out of the bathroom, only to find Cade entering the bedroom at the same time.“Alpha…” he started but trailed off when he realized Odin wasn’t here.What caught my attention, though, was the envelope in his hand, the one he quickly shoved into his pocket, almost as if he were hiding it. What was that about?“It seems the Alpha isn’t here,” he said awkwardly.I nodded, noticing how he struggled to ad

ZEUS“I…I just came to clean the room,” I blurted, stepping back from the desk. “I swear I didn’t touch…”Before I could finish, Odin moved. He charged toward me. I braced myself for his anger. For an accusation. For a punishment.Instead, he pulled me into his arms.Tightly.Like he was afraid to let go.I froze. My heart pounded against my ribs and my breath caught in my throat.“O-Odin…” I murmured, confused. “What happened?”He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he held me tighter. Then, out of nowhere he asked.
Kiss Me Liar CHAPTER 87. LYNN?
ODINLoosening my tie, I stretched my neck as I stepped into my office. The entire day had been spent outside the territory at an important Alpha meeting. I had intended to return earlier, but the endless reminiscing of old wolves, my father’s friends had kept me longer than planned. Their talk of the past only grated on my nerves. I hated recalling those old days.Sinking into my chair, I closed my eyes for a moment, allowing the quiet to settle.Then, a familiar and intoxicating scent filled the air.Damon’s cooking.Opening my eyes, I spotted a tiffin on my desk. My mood instantly lifted as I flipped it open, revealing warm, perfectly prepared fri
Kiss Me Liar CHAPTER 86. THE LETTER
ZEUSThe next morning, the first thing I did upon waking was check my phone. Still no message.Odin had been caught up in urgent matters last night and hadn’t returned after dealing with Lex. But this… this was something else entirely. The speed post should have reached Gary by now. So why hadn’t he messaged me after reading the letter?It was already the first day of the new month. Had he not received the money? A gnawing sense of unease curled in my chest, spreading like wildfire.What exactly was going on?A bad feeling settled deep in my gut.Unbeknownst to me, Susan was making her way down a narrow alley, humming to herself as she approached the house. A cigarette dangled
Kiss Me Liar CHAPTER 85. FORGIVE
ZEUSI followed Odin out.Stepping outside, my gaze instinctively went to Cade, standing at the stairs with a composed expression. But it was Lex and Ekim, standing farther away, who immediately drew my attention. Their faces were pale with fear as Odin charged toward them, radiating a deadly fury.“What is going on here?” I demanded, glancing at Cade. He averted his eyes, refusing to meet my gaze."Alpha… I can explain!” Lex’s desperate pleas echoed through the tense air. “Please!" He stumbled backward, terror etched into every movement.Something was wrong. Danger thrummed in the atmosphere. My instincts screamed at me to stop this before it escalated."Odin
