TAMING THE RUTHLESS ALPHA
Crystal is the defective wolfless daughter of the Thorne family and thus a disgrace to her family, especially her mother, Luna Cersera. She loves and dotes on her younger sister, Rachel who is the pride of the family and the pack.
However when the most notorious and dangerous Alpha Adrian visits their pack uninvited, looking for a mate, none of the blessed girls catch his eye, not even Rachel. For some reason, he chooses Crystal.
Crystal is terrified as the stories about Adrian are nothing but dark and horrific. He's known for his bloodthirsty rampages. However, Adrian forces her to accept him or watch him slaughter her pack.
Adrian believes she's cursed. Crystal believes he's cursed. But unknown to them, a primordial power lies inside Crystal that is the key to breaking Adrian's curse.
Will their resentment towards each other be their end? Or will it be the reason they depend on each other?

Chapter: Chapter 35 - SylviaAdrian's POVThe walk to the private pool was supposed to have been calming.But it wasn’t.Every step felt heavier, my boots grinding into the sandy ground on the path to the pool. The air was warm, the scent of fresh rain hanging over the forest. It was a little forest behind the mansion that led to the pool. On any other circumstances, I would have felt refreshed. But right now, none of it mattered.All I could see, over and over again, was the way Crystal had looked at me from that balcony.The brief flicker of her eyes as they fell on me.And then the clean, effortless dismissal, like I was just another face in the crowd.It shouldn’t have mattered.I told myself it didn’t matter. But for some reason, I felt irritated.But my chest still ached with that small, sharp sting, like she had reached in and twisted something inside me before walking away.My wolf paced restlessly under my skin, his claws itching. Kratos continued growling and grunting inside me, constantly reminding me

Chapter: Chapter 34 - Not Myself AnymoreAdrian's POVThe next day came so fast. I woke up and immediately went to the training grounds after calling Maddox. I just felt like I needed to blow off some steam.The training grounds was a warzone of sounds. Clangs of steel from the far end of the training grounds mixed with the rhythmic grunt and thud of bodies hitting sand.But for me, the sounds were muted. They sounded distant even though I was right there. It was like I was listening from underwater.Sweat stung my eyes as I circled around Maddox, my bare feet digging into the sand. My trousers clung to my hips, damp from the heat, my bare chest rising and falling as I tried to focus on him. He was grinning, not in a smug, superior way, but in that infuriating way he always did before a sparring session. He knew he as the only one who could make me go seriously in a sparring session..“Your left’s dropping again,” he said, throwing a punch that grazed my temple before I even thought about blocking.I gritted my teeth and ste

Chapter: Chapter 33 - Fuck You, AdrianCrystal's POVI couldn't believe what just happened.I just… sat there.The door hadn’t even finished swinging shut behind him. The faint trace of his scent still lingered in the air, warm and cold all at once, wolfish royalty mixed with something darker, like fire on a winter night. It was the kind of scent that wrapped itself around you without permission. That stayed clinging to your skin even after its owner was gone.Gone. He just up and went like that?"Tch" I scoffed at nothing it particular. Everything replayed in my head.Adrian had woken up. Looked right at me. Spoken to me without the usual bite in his tone, without the guarded coldness that had always kept me at arm’s length.For the first time ever since we met and he claimed me he kissed my hand. And then he just... walked out.No hesitation. No opportunity to even talk or savour what happened. He just… left.I was offended. I sat beside this fucking snobbish asshole for hours and all he did was wake up and leave?After

Chapter: Chapter 32 - Too Pure For MeAdrian's POVI opened my eyes and blinked.The ceiling above me was unfamiliar. Two shadows stretched long and uneven in the dim light.My chest rose with a slow, dragging breath, and the heaviness in my body felt almost… unnatural. I shifted my gaze, and that’s when I saw her.Crystal.She was sitting beside me, leaning slightly forward in the chair, her elbows resting on her knees like she’d been in that exact position for hours. Her hair fell in loose strands over her shoulder, and the moment my eyes met hers, she straightened abruptly, the faintest gasp escaping her lips.“You’re awake…” she called almost breathlessly.Her voice was light, trembling with something between relief and disbelief. It pulled me fully into consciousness. She leaned in closer, her eyes bright, glistening in a way that made my chest feel… strange. Not the sharp pain from before, but something softer.I said nothing.I didn’t even know what to say. I just watched her, the way her mouth curved into a smile

Chapter: Chapter 31 - Hand In HandCrystal's POVThe air between us was razor-sharp and thick with tension. Neither of us was willing to speak aloud. Talia stood there like a queen carved from ice, her perfectly painted lips pressed into a line, her gaze drilling into mine.She kept standing across from me like she’d been born in that stance, her spine straight, her chin slightly lifted. Her shoulders were pulled back just enough to signal that she carried the weight of a crown without actually wearing it. She was beautiful, of course, but in the way ice can be beautiful before it drowns you under its surface. And her eyes, those cold calculating, cutting eyes, didn’t blink. Not once.I didn’t either.The guards shifted uncomfortably under the weight of it. One of them finally cleared his throat, almost whispering, “Queen Mother…” as if hoping she’d give the order to end this.But she didn’t. Not right away. She didn’t acknowledge him. Not even a flicker of her gaze.She was thinking. Calculating. I could see it in the

Chapter: Chapter 30 - Luna Vs LunaCrystal's POVI shifted the thought to the back of my head and turned back to look at Adrian.He lay still. His breathing was steady now but his skin was still pale under the soft glow of the room light. I sat close beside him, my fingers wrapped around his.His hand was much larger than my hand. Even as he was unconscious, the warmth of his hand seeped into my skin. It kind of soothed me, keeping me from replaying the terrifying moment where he had collapsed.I didn’t know how much time had passed before I heard the door open behind me. The sound was sharp and loud, instantly contrasting the quietness of the room.I didn’t have to look to know who it was. The faint scent of her expensive and dictating perfume. The coldness that filled the room immediately she stepped in. Her sharp presence gave her away before her voice even came through the silence.“What happened here?”Luna Talia’s tone was smooth and sharp. It sounded like she was almost curious, but there was a dangerous edge un
