The Ruthless Alpha Who Bought Me Is My Mate
Others proclaimed she was a curse, but he picked her up and said, “You’re special, Imogene.”
She was his antidote. His blessing.
~~~~
Imogene Howling was hated by her father, the Alpha of Moonclaw Pack, because her birth caused her mother’s death, and she was soon blamed for her twin brother’s disappearance. Due to her inability to shift, she was bullied by her pack and called the pack’s “cursed child.”
When her father’s health began to fail, Imogene was made to assume the position of the She-Alpha, despite the pack’s reluctance. For two years she managed the pack, married to the only man who ever showed her kindness—Damian. But everything soon came crashing down.
Imogene was betrayed by the two people she trusted the most and framed for killing her own father for power. She was overthrown and sentenced to death for her orchestrated crimes.
Just as the sharp metallic blade was about to reach her neck, someone blocked it—Fenrir, the rumored mad and ruthless Alpha of the rogues. “Drop your sword before I drop your head to the ground,” he growled.
As Fenrir bought Imogene’s freedom and carried her back to his estate, Imogene would soon realize that she’s not as powerless as she thought and what appeared to have been a coincidental meeting was actually a planned move that even roots back to her brother’s disappearance and her own true identity that has been hidden all this while.

Chapter: Chapter 57~~Imogene's POV~~“How touching.”The voice that cut through the room was smooth as silk and twice as dangerous. I watched Fenrir spin around, putting himself between me and the door in one swift motion, his body tensed as he got into a protective stance.Lucian stood by the door, and my stomach dropped. He wasn’t alone, six wolves stood with him, their eyes gleaming with satisfaction. The trap I hadn’t even known existed had just sprung shut.“Hello, Fenrir.” Lucian’s smile was no longer the kind one I was used to, it looked like a predator looking at a prey. I’d never seen him like that before. This wasn’t the kind friend who had offered me a place to stay. This was someone else entirely. “I was wondering when you’d make your move. Though I must say, I expected better from the great Alpha of the Rogues. Walking right into my territory? That is rather reckless of you, don’t you think?”“Let her go, Lucian.” Fenrir’s voice was deadly calm, but I could see the tension in his shoulders,

Chapter: Chapter 56~~Fenrir's POV~~We got into Griffin territory two hours after nightfall, moving through the forest like shadows. Tonight’s moon was bright in the sky, providing just enough light for us to move without being seen. Perfect lighting for what we needed to do.Lyric’s scouting over the past two days had been very valuable. She had mapped the guard rotations, identified weak points in the area, and confirmed unusual security around the pack house. It wasn't really proof that Imogene was there, but it was at least enough to justify the risk.We had left where we came from the southeast, where the forest grew thick enough to provide cover almost to the compound walls. Now we all were crouching in the tree line, studying our target.The pack house was three stories high buillt with stone and timber. There were lights shining through the windows. Guards patrolled the area in pairs, their routes predictable but thorough. I shifted back to human form, the others following suit.“Teams split her

Chapter: Chapter 55~~Imogene's POV~~I’d been in Griffin Pack for about a month now, and the routine had become comfortable. A knock sounded on my door, and Lucian entered with his usual warm smile. “Good afternoon, Imogene. I hope I’m not disturbing you?”“Not at all.” I pointed to the sitting area by the window. “Please, come in.”He sat on the chair across from me, and I noticed he carried a small wooden box. “I brought you something,” he said, putting it on the table between us. “Open it.”Inside there were all sorts of fruits, each piece was perfectly glazed and arranged like jewels. “These are from the eastern territories,” Lucian explained. “A trader brought them this morning, and I thought you might enjoy them. The apricots are particularly good.”I took one, and ate it, the sweetness melted into my tongue. “This is delicious. Thank you.”“My pleasure.” He leaned back, looking relaxed. “You know, getting those nearly cost me a diplomatic incident. The trader insisted they were reserved for Alpha

Chapter: Chapter 54~~Fenrir's POV~~The merchant was a wiry man with nervous hands that could not stay still. He twisted his cap between his fingers as he stood before my desk, eyes darting between me and the door as if calculating escape routes.“You said you have information,” I said, keeping my voice firm even though I could barely contain myself and my wolf was clawing at my chest.“Aye. Heard rumors up north, I did. Been trading through those territories for years. Wolves talk, especially after a couple o’ drinks.” He licked his cracked lips. “Word is Griffin Pack has been keeping someone unusual. A woman. Wolfless. I heard she showed up about a month back.”My blood went cold. “Griffin Pack.”“That’s what they’re saying. Can’t confirm it myself, I ne’er saw her with my own eyes. But the talk’s consistent.” He shifted his weight. “Traders passing through Griffin territory mention seeing extra guards around the pack house. More security than usual. Something special’s got Alpha Lucian being careful.

Chapter: Chapter 53~~Imogene's POV~~I woke up that morning to find a new dress on the chair in my room. It was a beautiful aquamarine dress that shines like water in sunlight. The bodice was fitted with beautiful beadwork along the neckline, tiny crystals were sewn in patterns that resembled flowing waves. The sleeves were long and layers gathered at the shoulders, the skirt fell in soft, elegant folds that would move beautifully when I walked. It was a gorgeous dress.It was the fourth dress that had come in this week, each more beautiful than the last. Yesterday’s had been deep emerald with gold threading that caught the light. The day before, cream linen with tiny pearl buttons down the back that ran from the collar to bottom. They all fit perfectly, even with the small swell of my stomach.I put it on. The clothes I wore when I left Fenrir’s pack were already worn, and refusing the dresses seemed rude when they had put in so much care into choosing them. The dress fitted me perfectly. When Cara a

Chapter: Chapter 52~~Fenrir's POV~~Time had stopped moving in any way that made sense. Days just went by one after the other without any difference, just repeated failed reports and the growing weight in my chest that refused to ease. Sleep rarely came and it was never clean, when it did, I didn't really feel rested, only still aware of the constant sense that maybe I was already too late. Too late to save her.Every morning started with the same ritual; getting up before dawn, reviewing what little information we had, and bracing myself for another stretch of nothing.Two weeks of searching had yielded nothing.My wolves had scoured every inch of neutral territory. They had questioned rogues, travelers, merchants, anyone who might have passed through the area where Imogene’s trail went cold. Most had seen nothing. A few remembered seeing wolves in the area, but couldn’t provide useful details.I spent hours each day in my office, maps spread across everywhere. Red marks indicated where we’d searched.

Chapter: Chapter 47Stacey’s POV;I woke up to the bright light shining through the window, but it was pale in comparison to the glow in my heart. Yesterday was perfect. As I turned to my side, I realized that I was in an empty bed. I remembered that it was Richard's bed, but where was he?I stood up and walked towards the kitchen, following the sounds of sizzling food and clinking dishes. As I entered the kitchen, I was greeted by the warm aroma of freshly made pancakes.Richard was standing by the stove, his back to me, as he expertly flipped pancakes and scrambled eggs. He was wearing a white apron over his clothes, and his hair was slightly messy, as if he had just rolled out of bed.I smiled to myself, feeling a sense of warmth and comfort at the sight of Richard cooking breakfast for me. I leaned against the doorway, watching him as he worked.I couldn't help but stare at Richard as he cooked breakfast, his movements fluid and effortless. As he finished flipping the pancakes, he turned and was star

Chapter: Chapter 46Stacey’s POV;I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. Everything was blurry, but I could make out two figures standing over me, talking in hushed tones. I tried to focus, but my head was spinning.As I listened to the voices, I started to make out what they were saying. One of the voices was familiar - it was the security guard who had been walking me home. But the other voice... it was a voice I knew intimately. A voice I hadn't heard in weeks.I closed my eyes again, trying to clear my head. When I opened them again, my gaze met a pair of gorgeous blue eyes. It was as clear as day and I felt Richard holding me, his eyes locked on mine with a look of concern."Richard," I whispered, my voice barely audible.He smiled, relief washing over his face. "I've got you," he said, his voice low and soothing. "You're safe now."I looked around, taking in my surroundings. I was in a car, lying across the passenger seat. Richard was holding me, his arms wrapped around me i

Chapter: Chapter 45Stacey’s POV;As the driver pulled into my driveway, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. The driver opened the door, and I stepped out, taking a deep breath of the cool evening air. But as I turned to thank the driver, I caught a glimpse of a hooded figure out of the corner of my eye.I spun around, trying to get a better look, but there was no one there. I shrugged it off, chalking it up to my imagination."I'm home!" I yelled, dropping my handbag on the counter."I'm in here!" Aliya replied from the bedroom. I decided to just tell Aliya everything, I honestly don’t know why I had kept it from her for so long. If anyone could help me make sense of all these, it was my best friend, Aliya.I walked into the room to find Aliya packing a suitcase. "Where are you going?" I asked, confusion etched on my face."Oh, hey! Work calls. I'm going to be out of town for a few days," she explained, tossing a few more clothes into the suitcase.I removed my coat, feeling a pang of concern. "You'l

Chapter: Chapter 4Stacey’s POV;I sat at home, chewing on ice as I stared blankly at my phone. It had been weeks since I'd last heard from Richard. I didn’t know if it was because our six month contract was slowly reaching its end or still because of that night in Canada.He hadn't shown up to work, and when I'd gone to his place, the gardener told me he'd gone to his parents' house. I'd been worried sick, wondering if I'd done something wrong.Just then, Aliya walked into the living room, putting on her earrings as she got ready for another documentary shoot. "He still hasn't called?" she asked, giving me a worried look.I shook my head sadly, cracking another cube of ice. "No."Aliya passed me a cup of cold water. "I'm getting worried about you," she said, eyeing the ice in my hand. "You're chewing ice again, which means you're worried and anxious."I sighed, setting the ice cup down. "I'm fine, don't worry," I reassured her.But before I could say anything else, my phone rang. I quickly looked at it

Chapter: Chapter 43Richard’s POV;I woke up to the warm rays of sunlight streaming through my bedroom window, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The headache that had plagued me the night before was gone, but unfortunately, thoughts of Stacey still lingered.I got into the bathroom and took a shower hoping to drown everything out as I came out with my towel wrapped around my waist and the other small towel drying my hair. I made my way to my kitchen, a sprawling space that was the epitome of luxury. The walls were adorned with sleek, high-gloss cabinets, and the countertops were made of rich, dark granite. A massive island in the center of the room provided ample space for food preparation, and a walk-in pantry was stocked with every gourmet ingredient imaginable.I fired up the espresso machine, a gleaming silver behemoth that was the crown jewel of my kitchen. As the aromatic coffee brewed, I gazed out the window, taking in the breathtaking view of the city skyline.But even the stunning vista couldn

Chapter: Chapter 42Richard’s POV;The ride back home was shrouded in silence, the only sound was the soft hum of the engine. My body felt cold, a chill settling in the moment I dropped Stacey off. I couldn't shake off the feeling of emptiness, like a part of me was missing.What was wrong with me? I couldn't believe I was actually missing her. This wasn't like me at all. I'm Richard Desmond, the guy who never gets attached.I gazed out the window, questions swirling in my mind like a vortex. What was this new feeling? Why was I feeling this way? I shrugged off the thought, trying to push it to the back of my mind. I pulled out my phone and dialed Ollie's number. He answered in two rings. "Hey, are you busy?" I asked, anticipating his response."No, why?" he replied, confusion lacing his voice."Good. Meet me at my place," I said, knowing that if anyone could help me make sense of this mess, it was Ollie."Sure, see you there," he said, and I ended the call.I leaned back in my seat, my mind still reel
