Fated To The Ruthless Alpha

Fated To The Ruthless Alpha

Synopsis Rhea, the last surviving white witch, has spent her life hiding from the horrors that wiped out her kind. Taken in as a child by a kind but childless couple, she concealed her identity with colored contacts to mask her silver eyes, blending into a human world that would never accept her true self. For twenty-two years, she lived in peace—until the relentless hunters seeking her power finally caught up. Their pursuit turned her life into a nightmare, leaving destruction in their wake. Rhea managed to escape using her dormant magic, only to collapse from exhaustion. When she awoke, she was in a luxurious hospital, under the watch of the most feared Alpha in the werewolf world—Kieran Reign. Kieran, the cold-hearted and ruthless leader of the strongest pack, had no intention of ever needing anyone. At twenty-seven, he was still without a mate, and his icy demeanor kept everyone at a distance. But when he met Rhea, a strange and undeniable bond formed between them, one he loathed to acknowledge. Recognizing her potential value, he allowed her to stay, assigning her as his personal assistant. Though Rhea detested Kieran’s harshness and temper, her heart betrayed her, pulling her closer to the man who seemed incapable of love. As their connection deepened, a deadly threat emerged—a shadowy figure determined to claim Rhea’s powers and destroy Kieran’s pack. With enemies closing in, Rhea discovered the horrifying truth about her identity: she is the key to an ancient ritual that could unleash unspeakable evil. Kieran, now bound by love, must protect her at all costs, even as war looms on the horizon. Can love defy fate and save them both, or will Rhea’s sacrifice spell the end of everything they’ve fought for?

Chapter Forty-EightAnna and the doctor walked into the room just in time to witness something unexpected—Rhea, unconscious, held tightly in Kieran’s arms. His hand was on her back, patting her awkwardly, clearly unsure of what to do.“Rhea,” he called gently, but there was no response.Concerned, he slowly pulled her away from his chest, only to discover that she had fainted again. Alarmed, the doctor sprang into action, rushing over and guiding Kieran to lay her down gently on the hospital bed.He checked her pulse and heartbeat immediately, his expression tight with focus. While the doctor worked quickly, Kieran stood beside her, watching every movement carefully. But something else caught his attention—a mark on her shoulder.He had seen it before, vaguely, but now the design was clearer than ever. As he stared at it, an image surfaced in his mind—sudden, uninvited, and vivid. It left him momentarily speechless.Later, Kieran and Anna stepped out of the hospital ward. Just then, K

Chapter: Safe
Chapter Forty-SevenThe room fell silent as Rhea resumed her presentation. Despite the tension earlier, her voice remained steady, her points clear and convincing. Kieran gave his final thoughts and conclusions once she finished, commending the detailed work before officially ending the meeting.The board members began to leave, one by one, murmuring among themselves, some offering her a nod of approval as they passed. Soon, it was just Rhea and Kieran left in the room. She quietly began to gather her things, still feeling faint but trying not to show it.They walked side by side out of the meeting room and stepped into the elevator. As the doors closed, a sharp pain struck Rhea's temples. Her vision blurred, the world around her began to spin, and voices faded into a muffled haze. She clutched the railing inside the elevator like it was the only thing anchoring her to the earth.“You did a good job in the meeting today,” Kieran said, his voice calm as he looked at the elevator floor,

Chapter: Presentation
Chapter Forty-SixToday was the day of the presentation.Rhea woke up feeling weak and not quite herself. A dull ache pounded behind her eyes, growing stronger with every heartbeat. She rubbed her temples and sat up slowly, swinging her legs off the bed. There was no time to dwell on it—today was too important. She had to be strong. No matter how exhausted or sick she felt, she couldn’t afford to mess this up.Dragging herself to the bathroom, Rhea washed up and got dressed in a pair of fitted black trousers, a crisp white shirt, and a sleek black jacket. She tied her hair into a neat ponytail and stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes looked slightly sunken, her skin paler than usual. She definitely looked tired.“It’s just stress,” she muttered under her breath. “You’ve got this.”She arrived at work early and immediately began arranging her desk, placing the files and documents she would need for the day’s meeting within reach. Her heart raced with anticipation, nerves dancing b

Chapter: Just a seatbelt
Chapter Forty-FiveRhea spent the entire night preparing the final version of the presentation document. The glow from her laptop screen had become her only companion as she worked through the dark hours, perfecting every section, refining every word. By the time she was done, she had barely two hours left to sleep.When her alarm went off, she groaned in exhaustion. Her body felt heavy, her muscles sore, and her mind foggy from the lack of rest. Of course she felt weak—she had worked herself to the bone.Dragging herself out of bed, she got dressed for work in a simple black pencil skirt and a fitted black blouse. It was her go-to look for serious days like this—professional, clean, and unassuming. She slipped her heels on, gathered the documents she had worked so hard on, and headed to the office.To her surprise, the morning passed quietly. Kieran didn’t call her or summon her for anything, which brought her a sense of relief. Even though the presentation draft was ready, she still

Chapter: Work presentation
Chapter Forty-FourIt was a normal day at work, or so Rhea thought. The office was humming with its usual rhythm—phones ringing, the click-clack of keyboards, and the occasional murmured conversation in the hallway. Rhea had just settled at her desk when she received a message on her work phone.Kieran: Come to my office.She sighed quietly, set aside the file she was reviewing, and made her way up to the Alpha’s office. When she stepped inside, he was seated at his desk, focused as usual, eyes glued to the screen of his laptop.“You called,” Rhea said, her voice even as she stood before him.Kieran didn’t look up. “I got an email from Mr. Andrews,” he began, fingers still flying across the keyboard. “He wants us to handle the planning for their estate project in California.”Rhea blinked. Mr. Andrews? That was a major client their estate projects were high-profile, large-scale developments that came with massive budgets and even higher expectations.“Okay,” she said, grabbing her not

Chapter: care for each other
Chapter Forty-ThreeThey were finally back to work. Rhea stood in front of her wardrobe, fully dressed in her professional attire, her spirits high and her energy renewed for the week ahead. After that emotional and slightly confusing encounter with Kieran in the garden, she was grateful that nothing further had happened between them. They had managed to avoid each other since then, keeping a respectable distance. She made sure of it, and surprisingly, Kieran didn’t push either. But now that work had resumed, avoiding him wasn’t an option anymore. She was back to being his assistant, which meant seeing him every day.Despite the emotional weight she'd been carrying, it felt good to return to work. Sure, it was stressful—but it was a productive kind of stress, something she could control and manage. The familiarity of paperwork, schedules, and structured tasks was comforting.The day began with her usual task—checking Kieran’s calendar, responding to emails, and organizing files. Since
