60. I DON’T PLAY GAMES THAT I CAN LOSE

Lex stormed through the pack’s grounds, his frustration boiling over as he barked at passing members. “Have you seen Ekim?!”

Each response was the same. A shake of the head or a quick denial. His patience wore thin. Since the human had disappeared, she had been missing as well.

Clenching his fists, Lex turned his gaze toward the only place he hadn’t checked: the seashore.

And there she was.

Ekim sat by the dock like a statue, unmoving, her hair disheveled, and the same clothes she wore the previous day clinging to her like shadows. It was clear she hadn’t moved from the spot all night.

“What the actual hell are you doing, Ekim?!” Lex growled, roughly grabbing her arm. “I’v

  • Kiss Me Liar   1. The Imposter

    *Zeus*Pain.That’s all I felt as I came to, my head pounding like it had been split open. A dull ache throbbed, warm and cold all at once, and I realized blood—both dry and fresh—was smeared across my forehead. I shifted, wincing as my eyes fought to open, each blink a struggle against the sticky darkness. For a moment, all I could see was black, blinding black, then a sickly blur that forced my eyes shut again.After a second, I braced myself, sucking in a shallow breath as I tried again. This time, my vision cleared just enough to show a haze of shadows, and I got the sense that I wasn’t alone. But it wasn’t because anyone else was here; no, it was more the way the darkness closed in around me. Pressing down. Suffocating.A chill spread through me as I felt the hard surface under my back. Cold and hard. Stone? Maybe hard packed dirt. I couldn’t tell. My whole body screamed as I pushed myself upright, every muscle in me stiff and aching, like I’d been crushed under something heavy.

  • Kiss Me Liar   2. FIRST AND LAST CHANCE

    **Zeus**For the first time in my life, I felt chills at being called Damon. Every face, name, and power play in Damon’s world was etched into my memory like a ghost. I hadn’t just studied Damon’s life, I’d absorbed it, drilled into me by Victor over the years. His enemies, allies, friends, even obscure acquaintances… I knew them all. Their faces, their sins, their individual stakes in Damon’s empire, each piece embedded as deeply as my own childhood memories. I could call up the name of a distant cousin Damon hadn’t spoken to in years or the backstory of a mistress hidden away for “family honor.” These people existed like ghosts, ready to come to life in my mind whenever the role demanded it.But this man… this man with those intense brown eyes and that presence sharp as steel… he wasn’t among them. No name, no whispers, no power that I could link back to Damon’s world. His face held a confidence that matched Damon’s, yet I couldn’t place him anywhere in the network of people Damon

  • Kiss Me Liar   3. A PITIFUL DEATH

    ZEUSThe last thing I wanted to hear after threatening my kidnapper was a casual, “Sounds good.” Those two words sent a chill through me, a clear hint that things were only going to get worse. I could feel the warmth of his chest retreating as he pulled me from the tree. My twisted arm was released, but before I could even lower it to my side, he was dragging me forward again. I was caught off guard. “Where are you taking me?!” I demanded, struggling to keep up as the feeling slowly returned to my legs. “Stop dragging me! Let me go!” I twisted, using every ounce of strength I had to break free from his iron gasp, but it was like he was deaf, or just didn’t care. He’d already declared me his prisoner, his “slave,” and my protests seemed to mean nothing to him.“Let go!” I snarled through my teeth, looking around frantically. The trees were dense and twisted, looming over us like silent giants. The air smelled foreign, damp and earthy, and the distant calls of strange birds echoed in th

  • Kiss Me Liar   4. A MONSTER

    ZEUSThe 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

  • 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

  • Kiss Me Liar   6. WHO ARE YOU?

    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

  • Kiss Me Liar   7. A SHORTCUT

    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

  • Kiss Me Liar   8. A CLEAN FREAK?

    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

    ZEUS His lips found mine again, this time softer, lingering like he was trying to seal his promise with each breath. My heart felt like it might explode. I didn’t know whether to push him away or melt into him. His words, his touch…they overwhelmed me, filling the cracks of my shattered self with something dangerous. Something I couldn’t name. On top of that, he actually kissed a man, in front of so many men!Before I could respond, a low growl rumbled behind us. Mario’s voice interrupted the moment, his smugness gone, replaced by cold fury.“Romano,” Mario spat, his voice laced with venom, “you think you can walk out of here with him after that little show? You’re both dead. If you have any last wish, tell me now!”Odin turned slowly, almost lazily, to face him. His calmness was unnerving, like a predator playing with its prey. “Since you’re being so generous,” Odin drawled, taking a drag from his cigarette, “how could I not grant you the honor?”Reaching into his pocket, he pulled

    Enemies to lovers?For a second, my mind went completely blank. He and I? But before I could process the thought, the wolves surrounding us sprang into action.One lunged at me, its jaws open wide, but Odin yanked me behind him at the last second. A powerful kick from him sent the wolf flying, its body slamming into a tree with such force that the sound of cracking wood echoed in the air. The wolf collapsed, lifeless, and the others froze, their growls faltering as they hesitated.I shivered in horror against him, my eyes glued to the unmoving body of the wolf. It was clear, they might never wake up.Odin leaned down, his warm breath brushing against my ear as he whispered, “Run straight ahead.”

    ZEUSHis expression faltered, the rage dimming as something unreadable flickered in his eyes.“At that moment, I wasn’t a human being to you. I was Damon Darcy, the human that you wanted to break emotionally, a goal that succeeded at. I am broken now.” I continued, my voice breaking. “And yet, now you’ve come to save me, and all I can feel is fear. Fear of what comes next. Fear of how you’ll put me back in my place. Because I know whatever this is, it doesn’t end here.”He froze, as if the weight of my words struck something within him.“I’m scared,” I admitted, my voice barely audible now, trembling with raw emotion. “Scared that your kindness, your soft touch, your care…all of it comes with a price. And thi

    ZEUS“Doesn’t me being here answer your question?”As those words left his lips, they pulled at something deep inside me. My heartbeat betrayed me, thundering in my chest as an unfamiliar warmth began to stir. He came when I had lost all hope of being saved. He came when I was on the brink of losing myself.For a fleeting moment, his presence felt like the most profound thing that could have ever happened to me…an unspoken promise of safety, of being wanted and cared for.But then vicious reality sank its claws into me. A bitter pain rose alongside that fleeting warmth, snuffing it out as quickly as it had appeared. It was stupid. How could I allow myself even a moment of such weakness?My hands, still wrapped around his n

  • Kiss Me Liar   55. STILL TRYING TO SAVE PEOPLE?

    ODINHis face drained of color. He opened his mouth but no sound came out. He was caught.I tossed the key aside, my suspicions confirmed. Lex had betrayed me. Only someone within my pack could have leaked information to Mario of my arrival. Damon sat there speechless.“Lex…” I grumbled his name under my breath, my expression darkening. “Don’t hurt him,” Damon murmured after a long silence, his voice almost inaudible.I turned to him, my gaze sharp. “Still trying to save people?”He shook his head, his eyes fixed on the ground. “How am I in any position to save someone? But Lex thinks I killed Lynn. Just like you do. You are strong and brave so you kidnapped me but all he could do was to use Mario to take revenge against me. It’s all revenge, beginning to end. So tell me, Odin…”He finally looked up, meeting my gaze with a quiet intensity that made my chest tighten. He used my name again…. “If I want Lex to suffer for what he did to me, then what should I feel for you?”His questio

  • Kiss Me Liar   54. GIVE ME KEY

    ODINI never knew my name could sound so beautiful.The words left my lips in a whisper. It caught me off guard, that unexpected softness in my voice. My name… a name I had hated for years, that was tied irrevocably to the memory of my mother’s screams. I could still hear her, even now, calling my name through labored breaths, her voice raw with pain as she begged me to run and save myself.That day, my name became a trigger. A reminder of my failure to protect her. Of her blood on my hands. Since that day, I had buried it beneath the mask of Alpha Romano, a title that demanded fear and respect. Yet when he said my name… something shifted in my chest. It sounded different. It sounded… beautiful.

  • Kiss Me Liar   53. TALK TO ME

    ZEUSI felt a chill run down my spine, but the Alpha didn’t falter. He moved through the dense forest, his strides sure and powerful.“Do you even know where we’re going?” I asked, still clinging to him.“No,” he replied, his tone maddeningly calm. “I haven’t been in Mario’s pack since Alpha John’s demise.”My jaw dropped. That meant he had last been here when he was ten! “Then what’s the plan?!”“To find somewhere safe,” he murmured, navigating the forest with skill.Some time later, he climbed a rocky incline, eventually ducking into a small cave nestled into the side of a mountain. He set me down gently o

    ZEUSHe came into enemy territory just for me? My chest tightened, an unfamiliar warmth blooming beneath my ribs. I couldn’t name this feeling, but for a fleeting moment, I closed my eyes and let his warmth envelop me, anchoring me in the present.Then, I felt his hands slide down my back. He tugged lightly at the strings of the lingerie, and my body stiffened. He must’ve sensed it because his hands instantly froze.“We have to get out of here,” he murmured, his voice steady and laced with quiet urgency.I blinked and slowly nodded, still leaning against his chest. I definitely could not leave this room in such a state. Unable to move my body, I surrendered to his care. Gently, he began undoing the lingerie, starting with the strings around my chest.
