Chapter Five: The Alpha Who Watches*************Alpha Rex's POVI sat at the edge of her bed, watching her sleep, too peacefully, too soundly, like the world hadn’t tried to break her just days ago.I told myself I’d only come to check on her.That was the lie I clung to.But the truth?I wasn’t looking at her—I was looking at the mark on her neck.His mark.And it burned something inside me I didn’t want to name. My knuckles reddened around the stem of the wine glass, jaw tight. I hated that it was there. That he got to her first. That even in sleep, she wore a reminder of him.He marked her, I thought bitterly. But why does it feel like she’s already mine?Her voice cut through my thoughts, soft and trembling even in sleep. “Please… don’t touch me.”That—That shattered something in me.Seeing her like this, so helpless, and knowing I couldn’t protect her?It gutted me.I reached out without thinking, fingers hovering just inches from her hair. But I stopped mid-air. Touching her

Chapter 4***********If anything, Alpha Rex was known as a brutal man. No, not just brutal, terrifyingly ruthless. He wasn’t just the Alpha of the Black Hood Pack, he was a legend people whispered about with trembling voices. His methods of dealing with enemies, and sometimes even his own people, were nothing short of savage. Even Alpha Kael, as arrogant and dangerous as he was, feared him. That alone spoke volumes.And yet, here he was now, standing before me, offering his help… coming to save me like I was some helpless princess in distress. The irony of it all made my head spin.“Do I look so handsome that you can’t stop staring?” he asked, a dangerous smirk plastered across his lips, one that only made him appear more menacing.It was in that humiliating moment I realized I had been staring at him. Embarrassing myself, once again. But who was I kidding? My whole life was an endless series of embarrassing moments. This was nothing new.I forced myself to ignore his words, to ignor

Chapter 3 ************I felt that familiar air. No… this was supposed to be heaven, some kind of paradise, but the more I breathed it in, the more familiar it became. Even though my eyes were tightly shut, I could sense it, my wolf could. And slowly, I forced my eyes open, only to realize… I was still very much alive.My pupils contracted as they struggled to adjust to the brightness of the room. That was when it hit me, a pounding headache so intense it weighed me down instantly. A low groan escaped my lips, the pain vibrating through every nerve. But before the sound fully left my mouth, an awful stench filled my nostrils, sharp and nauseating, making me instinctively cover my nose.But that didn’t help. The smell was overwhelming, suffocating even. It was too much for me to handle. My stomach churned, and the urge to throw up slammed into me with full force. The headache blurred my vision further, and by then, hot tears were already welling in my eyes.I shot up from the bed, ign

Chapter: 2 **********Silence filled the room, not just silence, but a suffocating tension. Their eyes were wide open, every single gaze pinned on me like daggers. This ceremony was supposed to be a happy one for them, a celebration… But now? Now it has turned into a disaster, a living nightmare.“You fucking halrot! How dare you!” a loud, venomous voice thundered across the room. Before I could even process what was happening, my hair was being yanked so hard my neck snapped backward. I tried to pull away, to defend myself, but I couldn't, she was just too powerful, too fast, fueled by pure rage.Finally, I managed to break free from her grip, but it came at a cost. Pain shot through me as the sharp shards of glass from earlier pierced into my legs. My hands trembled, blood oozing down my skin, but I ignored the pain, I was too consumed by confusion, by fear, by the burning humiliation to care.What the hell was going on?My gaze lifted, locking onto Alpha Kael. His expression? Di

Chapter: 1 ********“The Bond That Broke Me”I walked through the crowd, careful not to spill the drinks balanced on the tray in my hands. Laughter and chatter filled the air, blending with the clink of glasses and the rustle of silk ball gowns brushing against the polished floors.I tried not to look up, just focus on each step. One wrong move and the entire tray could crash to the ground.And wouldn’t they love that?A wave of anxiety rippled through me at the thought. The shame would sting, but the whispers would be worse. They already hated me enough.For now, though, no one noticed me. I was invisible, and for once, I found a bit of peace in that.Every eleventh month of the year dragged old memories I tried desperately to bury. And tonight was no different, for me, at least.But for them?Tonight was something more.After fifteen long years, the Alpha of Crescent Moon Pack was finally returning.The Alpha who vanished without warning… to rectify the chaos left behind by the pr
