The Wolf King and the Wilted Flower
Bought as a defect. Destined as his mate.
As the last heir of the Wolf Kings, Grey Stormborn carries the burden of a dying kingdom. Bound by an ancient curse to the Everlasting Tree, his people are losing their ability to shift, their fertility, and their future. Only a rare Rona—a woman blessed with the power of flowers—can save them.
Desperate, Grey purchases the only Rona he can afford.
Maya is mute, timid, and utterly useless by every measure. Her flowers bloom only to wither moments later. Forced into a one-year marriage contract, Grey plans to fulfill his duty, secure an heir, and part ways forever.
But beneath Maya's silence lies a devastating secret.
When dragons descend upon the kingdom, she unleashes a terrifying magic capable of commanding forests and bringing armies to their knees. Suddenly, the "defective" bride becomes the kingdom's greatest treasure—and the obsession of the ruthless king who once sold her.
Now Grey must protect the woman he never wanted... before he loses the mate he never knew he needed.

Chapter: 23: Black Blossoms; Flower That Found Its MateGreyGrey was still laughing. Not because the situation was amusing. Not because an arrow had nearly pierced his heart. But because the furious little woman before him had completely forgotten she was standing on a battlefield."Are you crazy?" Maya demanded, her voice shaking.Her hands immediately returned to his shoulder despite her obvious anger. Tiny white flowers bloomed beneath her fingertips, weaving themselves through the torn flesh as soft moss spread around the wound."You could have died!"Grey winced as the flowers gently pulled torn muscles together. "I judged the angle.""You—""I knew it wouldn't hit anything vital.""You did not!" Her glare only deepened. "You don't throw yourself in front of arrows because you 'judged the angle'!"Grey couldn't stop smiling.His wolf, newly awakened after years of silence, rumbled warmly inside him.She cares.He didn't need the mate bond to know that. But the bond… The bond allowed him to feel every emotion blooming inside her like s

Chapter: 23: Black Blossoms; Flower That Blooms in WinterGrey couldn't explain it.The battle was over. Stormfang had survived. The dragons were free. The enemy king had surrendered.Yet every instinct inside him screamed… Wrong.Too easy. Too quiet.He scanned the retreating army. Soldiers hurried to help the terrified horses. Several abandoned their weapons entirely. The surviving dragons mourned beside their fallen kin.Even the wind seemed to have slowed.It should have felt peaceful.Instead... Grey's heartbeat grew louder.---Astar slowly pushed himself to his feet. His knees trembled violently. Gone was the proud king who had called werewolves pets. Gone was the man who had laughed at Maya.He looked... Broken.He didn't even dare meet her eyes anymore."We're leaving." His voice shook. "I swear upon my crown."Maya simply nodded. "Go."No triumph. No satisfaction. Only exhaustion.Grey had seen ki

Chapter: 23 : Black Blossoms; Every Flower Has A PurposeSilence settled over the battlefield. The silence that came when thousands of people forgot how to breathe. Snow drifted lazily between the black blossoms. The flowers looked almost delicate. Their petals were smooth as velvet, catching what little light remained beneath the gathering storm. They were beautiful. So beautiful that Grey couldn't look away. Neither could anyone else. King Astar recovered first. Then— He laughed brazenly. His laugh echoed loudly across the frozen plain. "So..." He threw back his head. "You're a defect!" His laughter grew louder, joined by the soldiers behind him. "I wondered why Valir sold someone with such... unusual abilities." His eyes swept over Maya with open ridicule. "No wonder Grey Stormborn could actually afford you." More laughter. "Even your own king discarded you." He smirked. "And now you expect me to fear flowers?" He looked down at the blossoms curling around his chest. It was beginning to wilt. The petals darkened. Shrank. Coll

Chapter: 23: Black BlossomsGrey had never known fear could have a sound. It wasn't the roar of dragons. It wasn't the clash of swords. It wasn't the screams of dying soldiers. It was one voice. "Maya!" His own. Raw. Desperate. It tore itself from his throat as he sprinted across Stormfang's ruined streets, but the young woman standing beyond the living walls never even turned around. She was alone. Standing before an army. His heart lurched so violently it almost hurt. "No..." Not again. Not someone else he couldn't save. "Your Majesty!" Marcus caught up beside him, panting. Grey barely looked at him. "Marcus." His voice came out clipped. Cold. The voice of a king forcing himself to think while panic threatened to consume him. "Take every civilian still trapped in the eastern district." Marcus nodded immediately. "The castle bunker?" "Yes." "What about her?" Marcus glanced toward the elderly woman Grey had just rescued. "Carry her if you must." Marcus gave a sharp salute

Chapter: 22 : Oleander; One Hidden Dark BudThe laughter spread like wildfire. Thousands of soldiers. Hundreds of armored knights. Even the hooded mages allowed themselves faint smiles.One girl.One dragon.Against an army.To them… It was laughable.King Astar folded his hands behind his back as though he had already won. "You look tired."His sharp eyes swept over Maya.Her trembling fingers. Her uneven breathing. The slight sway of her body from exhaustion. "You've exhausted yourself protecting a kingdom that isn't even yours."He chuckled. "What a waste."Maya remained silent.The young dragon beside her lowered its head protectively, a low growl vibrating through its chest.Five enslaved dragons answered immediately. Their deafening roars shook the mountains.The freed dragon stiffened. Its muscles coiled.Ready to fight. Ready to die.For her.Something about that realization hurt Maya's heart.Even after everything… The dragon still chose to stand beside her.Just as Grey had.Just as Bina.Just as Lyon.Just as everyon

Chapter: 22 : Oleander; Beauty Hiding PoisonThe dragon banked sharply through the air. Cold wind rushed against Maya's cheeks, carrying with it the smell of burning wood and smoke.Below her, Stormfang no longer resembled the kingdom she had entered only days ago. Ancient trees rose between streets. Massive vines wrapped around broken towers. The living dome she had summoned stretched over nearly the entire capital. Roots intertwined so tightly that dragon fire could no longer penetrate it.Only one opening remained. A circular gap high above the city.Just large enough… For Maya and the young black dragon to fly through.The dragon circled the opening once before landing atop one of the enormous branches forming the dome. Its wings folded carefully against its body.It remained alert. Watching. Waiting.Maya slowly climbed down.The moment both boots touched bark, her knees nearly gave way. She caught herself against one of the thick vines."..."She hadn't expected...This.Her entire body trembled. Her breathing came in shal

Chapter: Live. And Have Fun :)None of the Underworlders dared to speak up. The vampires that were hissing at me took steps back. The werewolves that were growling at me whimpered in fear. The warlocks looked shocked and some of the fairies were shivering. It felt amazing to finally show how they could not toy with my life anymore. It felt divine to have control over my life. Take that, you annoying Underworlders. Lex suddenly laughed out loud. He grabbed his stomach as though I was being funny. It annoyed me greatly, and I was about to reprimand him when suddenly he said to the entire garden, “The ones who object the Dark Lord will have to go through me first.” I realized what he was doing. He made sure the Underworlders know he had my back. Our eyes locked, and I sent him silent gratitude. “You’ll have to go through me too,” Tony said beside me. “Me too,” Renald said. Michael shrugged. “Me three.” I smiled at the boys, feeling full because they had my back

Chapter: The Dark LordI took in a huge gasp of air as I finally opened my eyes. My lungs felt like being drowned and then burned because it had stopped breathing for a while and oxygen was flooding in madly. The light burned my eyes too and for a moment I had to blink furiously just to adjust to the light. It was funny. All I had to do was just manifest my will to keep on living and there I was. Alive yet again. I saw Tony’s yellow eyes first. They widened at me, shocked because he thought I had died. His face crumpled when he hugged me tightly before. And now he looked at me blankly. I could still see the tears pooling in his demonic eyes. At other times, I would have boasted about the fact a demon almost cried for me. He really was the sweetest demon. “Miss Ari!!” Renald cried out. He pulled me into his embrace. The smell of earthy fragrance from his skin hit my nose. But his embrace gave me warmth, and I found myself clinging to him, to make sure I was really al

Chapter: Define Our Own PurposeI turned in the voice’s direction. After blinking twice, I realized that the figure in front of me was real. He seemed to be in the same realm as me, the ghost/afterlife/whatever-it-is-actually-called realm. The men didn’t notice his presence at all. He looked similar to Bar, with a body cloaked in a black hood. But he was way bigger, and he had a scythe in his right hand. Looking up, I find his skeleton face. And when I looked into his red eyes, I knew instantly who it was. “Dark Lord…” “No,” he said, “That is not my title anymore.” I could be wrong, but I saw him smiling sadly. After all, how could a skeleton smile or give any expression whatsoever? Expression comes from muscles, and skeletons do not have muscles. They are just bones. “Are you here to pick me up?” I asked. My voice trembled slightly. I was still not ready to go. My eyes flared up in heat as well. But the skeleton man shook his head. “That is not my job anymore,” he s

Chapter: At Death's DoorPeople like to theorize about death. For a clinician, there are two types of death; one is the condition of brain dead, where the brain is no longer active to even sustain the basic biological need and would need to rely on a machine. The other is when the heart stops beating. My heart has stopped beating. I could have explained the entire thing from a biological perspective but that would make this chapter into a scientific journal instead of a story. The thing is, we humans are too afraid to die that we conjure this unnatural belief that there is something beautiful in the afterlife. That someone would pick our souls up and deliver us to a better place. But that was not what I experienced. Death was quite… empty. It was nothing extraordinary. Just my soul leaving my body. No pain. No anguish. Nothing beautiful to see. In fact, I was seeing the same scene before I died. Someone had called my name before, but I forgot who it was. The f

Chapter: End Of A Phase“Mateo?” I felt my knees weakening as I locked eyes with a hooded figure in a dark cloak in front of the gate. His voice sounded like a hoarse whisper, but it was loud. And it made my skin crawl even more. I couldn’t see his entire face, as half of his upper face was covered by the hood. But I could clearly see his red, glowing, menacing eyes. “Yes,” he said in an eerie voice. The man grabbed two iron bars of the gate slowly, showing long and dirty nails. The little skin that I saw was pale, and he looked super skinny, only skin on bones. “Who are you?” I asked, “And what do you mean you have Mateo?” The man stretched his hand beyond the iron bars of the gate. He opened his palm. Instantly, red-orange dust appeared from his fingers and created what seemed like a circle of firework in the air. In the middle of the circle, appeared a boy in a dark void. I couldn’t breathe. The boy looked at me with fear in his eyes. He looked emancipated

Chapter: Not Just A PhaseRenald, Tony, and Michael were already sitting at the dining table. They didn’t start eating until Lex and I took a bite first. I sat on Lex’s right side, just like before. Next to me was Tony. And across from me were Michael and Renald. I ate my food leisurely. They served this amazing baked chicken with salad. And the red wine they served that night tasted somehow sweeter. Perhaps it was just my good mood. Mending my relationship with Lex cheered me up a little. I felt less stuffed. As though a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. It felt weird, though. Because I didn’t feel like this with the other guys. I didn’t even know how strong the strain in my relationship with Lex had affected me. But just when I was about to sip my wine, Tony sniffed the air close to my hair. I jolted a little, still not use to these supernatural men sniffing me. But there was something wrong this time. He looked at me with an intense gaze. His yellow eyes flashed before me a
