LEO’S POV “Your Highness!” the annoying woman shrieked, dropping hard onto her knees as my Royal Alpha aura flared in full force. The sheer pressure forced everyone in the courtyard to collapse under the suffocating weight of my power. My Beta, Sam, accustomed to my pheromones, barely managed to resist, though his clenching jaw showed the strain. I didn't waste another second on the vermin around us. I bent down on one knee, gently scooping Ivy into my arms. With my hypersensitive hearing, I could already hear the hurried, heavy footsteps of pack guards rushing toward us from the main estate. Marcus burst around the corner, flanked by four armed warriors. I watched him do a double take, his eyes wide in shock. “Your Highness, what brings you to the Ashworth Pack?” I didn't even turn around. I simply released another pulse of raw, unyielding Royal pressure. The guards instantly collapsed, hitting the dirt with sharp gasps as their wolves submitted to a higher bloodline. I nodd

IVY’S POVLight blinded my eyes as I slowly forced them open. My eyelids felt like they were made of lead. A loud, high-pitched ringing echoed in my ears, slowly fading into the steady beep-beep-beep of a heart monitor.I swallowed hard, tasting metal and dry cotton. The harsh, sharp scent of bleach and antiseptics burned my nose. I blinked, trying to sit up, but a sharp, splitting wave of pain shot through my head and cheeks, forcing me back down into the pillows. My whole body ached as if I had been crushed under a falling building. Every breath sent a dull throb through my ribs.I looked around the blurry room. White walls, bright lights, wires attached to my arms. I was in a hospital. But how did I get here? My mind was a terrifying, hazy blank.Then, I saw him.A tall, broad-shouldered man stood near the window. My vision was too blurry to make out his facial features clearly, but the sheer size of him blocked out the sunlight. The moment my eyes landed on his towering frame, a

Leo’s POVIn our world, an Alpha who rules a single pack has power over a few hundred people. But I am Prince Leo, the Royal Alpha of the High Court. My rank is far above a normal pack Alpha. A pack leader commands wolves, but my royal bloodline commands pack leaders. When I speak, even the strongest Alphas are forced to bow down and obey.My family rules the Silver Kingdom, the largest, most powerful kingdom in the region. We control the armies, the economy, and the laws that keep all werewolf packs from turning on each other.To the outside world, royal business is all politics and grand ceremonies. But the real work happens in the dark.Three weeks ago, intelligence reached the High Court that a deadly black-market compound called Blood Rage had resurfaced. It was a vile, forbidden potion that gave a normal werewolf ten times their usual physical strength, but at a catastrophic cost: prolonged use destroyed the wolf's brain, driving them permanently mad until they turned into mindl

Ivy’s POV"Father, please!" I sobbed, my voice cracking into a raw, desperate scream.The moment the doctor uttered those agonizing words, my father hadn't just walked me out. He had grabbed me by my hair and dragged me down the grand staircase into the living room, my head spinning and throbbing at the same time."Who is the father?!" he roared, his voice rattling the glass in the windows."I don't know! I swear, I don't know!" I cried out, my hands clutching at his iron grip on my scalp as tears blinded me completely."You don't know?!" His voice cracked with sheer, violent disgust. "I will not let a disgraced girl and her bastard baby stay in my house!"He threw me onto the cold marble floor. I collapsed into a trembling heap, crying so hard I choked on my own air, my lungs burning as panic clawed at my chest."Today, you are leaving for the borderlands!" he shouted down at me.The borderlands. A desolate, blood-soaked wasteland swarming with violent, merciless rogue wolves. It was

Ivy’s POV"Ivy, open this door right now!" my father shouted again.I couldn't move. I was shaking from head to toe, my breath coming in ragged, terrified hitches that burned in my throat. My father, Alpha Marcus, was a scary man who hated when people disobeyed him and his fury was a terrifying, suffocating force that filled the entire hallway."Please..." I whispered, collapsed in a helpless heap on the floor, crying silently as tears blinded my vision.BANG.The lock splintered with a sickening crack, and my father kicked the door open. His face was distorted, dark red with pure, uncontrolled anger."Where were you?!" he demanded, walking into my room like a predator cornering its prey."I... I was at a bar," I mumbled, staring helplessly at the floor, squeezing my eyes shut to hide the terror.Before I could draw another breath, he lunged forward. His massive, heavy hand grabbed my jaw tightly, digging his fingers brutally into my flesh until bones popped, forcing my head up. The a

Leo’s POVI woke up from the best sleep I had in years, only to find the bed empty. I stood up and looked around the hotel room. She was gone.A strange feeling of disappointment hit me. That wasn't like me. I never slept with the same woman twice. I didn't believe in love or attachment; it only made a man weak. And as the Prince and future Alpha King, I had plenty of enemies.I called my personal assistant. She answered on the first ring."Send the car. I'm at the Grand Hotel," I said."Yes, Prince Leo," she replied."Keep it quiet. I don't want the hotel staff making a big deal out of my stay.""Got it, sir."I hung up. I could still smell her perfume on the sheets….she smelled like fresh roses and vanilla. But there was something strange about her; I couldn't even sense her wolf rank.Last night, after finishing a secret investigation going on in the Ashworth pack, I had gone to the hotel bar to get a glass of special soothing wine to calm my wolf. My wolf was naturally aggressive,
