LOGINLiora POVThe ground shakes beneath my feet.The entire building feels alive.Not collapsing.But Awakening.The hidden chamber beneath us opens slowly, revealing a place that should not exist.A place that has been hidden for decades.My first instinct is to step back.But something inside me pulls me forward.Not fear.But Recognition.Like a part of me has always known this place existed.Darius grips my hand.“Liora, look at me.”I do.His eyes are filled with worry.Not because he fears me.Because he fears what someone might do to me.I whisper:“What is happening to me?”Nobody answers immediately.Because nobody truly knows.We enter the chamber carefully.Inside are old documents.Symbols.Family records.And something that shocks everyone.A portrait.A woman from generations ago.An omega.The first woman who carried the bloodline.Dr. Lucien studies the writings.“This is not just a family inheritance.”Everyone looks at him.He explains.“The Blackwood family believed the
Liora POVThe voice echoes through the hallway.I know that voice.I have heard it many times.A voice that comforted me.A voice that guided me.A voice that made me believe I was finally safe.But now…That same voice makes my entire body freeze.Because it should not be here.It should not be part of this nightmare.Darius immediately moves in front of me.Not because he thinks I am weak.Because his instincts recognize danger.I look past him.And the person standing there steps into the light.My heart sinks.Because the person I trusted the most after everything…Is standing beside the enemy.Dr. Lucien.Nobody speaks.Even he looks different.Not like the calm therapist who always had answers.Not like the man who helped Darius heal.Now he looks like someone carrying a secret too heavy to hide.Darius’s expression changes.“You.”Dr. Lucien looks at him.“I knew this day would come.”The betrayal hurts Darius more than anyone realizes.Because this is not just about me.This i
Liora POVThe screen remains frozen.The face staring back at me feels impossible.A ghost from a past I never knew.A person everyone believed was gone.A person whose existence changes everything.I could not move.I could not speak.Because somewhere deep inside me…I recognize him.Not from memories.From stories.From the pieces of my childhood that never made sense.The person standing beside my mother…Is the person who destroyed the life I could have had.My father’s first wife’s brother.The man who controlled the Blackwood family from the shadows.Victor Blackwood.Everyone reacts differently.Selene steps back.“No…”Her voice breaks.Because she remembers him.Adrian immediately becomes tense.“That’s impossible.”Victor smiles through the camera.“Is it?”The calmness in his voice makes everything worse.Because he is not surprised.He expected this moment.He expected us to find him.He expected me to discover the truth.I stare at the screen.“You were alive?”A small
Liora POVThe photograph stays on my screen.My mother.Alive.Tied to a chair.Waiting for me.My first instinct is to move.To run.To find her.Because for years I imagined this moment.Meeting the woman who gave me life.Hearing her explanation.Asking why she left.But not like this.Not with a threat.Not with someone using her as a weapon against me.Darius immediately notices my reaction.“Liora.”I look at him.“She’s my mother.”My voice breaks.“I finally found her.”I pause.“And now someone is taking her away from me again.”I grab my jacket.“I’m going.”Darius immediately says:“No.”The word makes me freeze.Because the old anger rises.The feeling of someone deciding for me.But before I can react, he continues.“Not because I want to control you.”He pause.“Because whoever did this wants exactly that.”He points at the message.“They want you emotional. They want you alone.”I know he is right.And that scares me.Because even after everything…He understands me.Fo
Liora POVThe photograph is still in my hand.A woman holding me as a baby.A woman whose face I have never seen.A woman whose name I have never spoken.Elara Voss.My mother.The word feels strange.Almost unreal.Because for years, I lived with one painful belief.That nobody wanted me.Not my father.Not my family.Not the woman who gave birth to me.But now I am being told something impossible.She was alive.She knew about me.And somehow…She stayed away.My chest feels heavy.Because I do not know what hurts more.Finding out she abandoned me…Or finding out she might have had a reason.Darius notices the change in me immediately.The bond reacts before I even speak.He says my name softly.“Liora.”I look at him.“What if she left because she didn’t want me?”The question breaks something in him.I could see his expression.Because he knows what it feels like to carry the belief that you are unworthy of love.He says:“Don’t decide her reason before hearing the truth.”He pau
Liora POVThe room is silent.Too silent.Everyone is staring at the screen.The recording has ended, but the words remain.“Dr. Lucien.”The name feels impossible.Because Dr. Lucien was the person Darius trusted when nobody else could reach him.The person who helped him face his guilt.The person who taught him how to stop controlling everything.The person who encouraged him to become better.And now…He might be the person who has been destroying my life.I look at Darius.His expression is unreadable.But I know him.I know the difference between anger and pain.This is pain.Because this is not only a betrayal against me.It is a betrayal against him.Darius takes his phone.He watches the recording again.Once.Twice.Three times.Looking for something.Maybe a mistake.A manipulation.Anything.Finally, he lowers the phone.“No.”The word comes quietly.Not denial.Pain.“I know his voice.”He pause.“But I also know him.”I look at him.“Do you?”The question comes out hars
Selene’s pov“ Hey darling… how are you feeling today?” My mother asked as soon as she saw me step out into the hallway.I smiled, “ of course you know I surely feel good. Especially for my sister, she delayed hers just to make sure we could get our gender reveal done on the same day.How intentio
Liora’s povDarious checked if there was any one in the passage before shutting the door behind him.“What the hell are you doing, Liora?” He asked with a curious but disappointed look on his face.“Take a guess, Darius,” I said with the intention of pushing him aside but he firmly held onto me. “L
Liora’s pov “Me,” I gestured while pointing at myself. “Yes, you,” she said out loud.The slow jam in the background got paused and everyone’s eyes was on me. I had begun to wonder how a party was organized in the house I live in without me being invited.“I never sent you an invitation to this p
Liora’s pov“Correct yourself, mum,” Selene said with a straight face.“I spoke proper grammar. I don’t need corrections,” Ravenna stated boldly. I just stood there staring at Ravenna while she glared back at me. “Why’d you think it’s ok to speak to Liora like she’s an outsider?” Selene asked in
