THE ALPHA KING'S GIFTED MATE
Everly Gray grew up, living with her father Johnson Gray, who made her life a living hell because of the hatred he had for Everly’s late mother. She was punished for her mother's sins and overshadowed by her stepsister, Isabella.
Isabella becomes envious of Everly when she got to know about Everly's fated bond with Alpha Viktor, whom she was already dating. She schemes to get rid of her by manipulating Alpha Viktor Simpson, the alpha of Silver Cross Pack to reject Everly as his mate.
After being publicly rejected by her fiancé, Everly accepts her rejection with quiet dignity and leaves her pack to avoid further humiliation. She ends up living in an alley until a life- altering encounter with Kaelan, the Alpha King, changes her fate.
Everly finds herself entangled with the powerful Alpha King, Kaelan Blackwood. This accidental encounter leaves her with a surprise—she discovers that Kaelan isn’t just a stranger; he's her fated mate, and he’ll stop at nothing to keep her. But Everly, scarred from betrayal, is reluctant to trust him.
As the Alpha King works to win her heart, he faces challenges from within his realm. Rogues, a prophecy, and a secret enemy threaten to dismantle his reign and destroy what they have.
Will Everly be able to rise from her weakness and claim her place beside her mate? Or will she allow the conspirators to destroy everything she and Kaelan has built together?

Chapter: EPILOGUE EPILOGUE It was the full moon and the gentle breeze stirred the trees, making the palace look very alluring.Crescent Moon has been peaceful for so many months now. This was a hard-earned peace. The occupants of this pack and palace had gone through years of struggle, sacrifice and resilience.Kaelan stood on the balcony of his chambers, and surveyed the vast territory he now ruled. The once-fractured packs of the country were now unified under his reign, and Crescent Moon had become a beacon of progress. He had built industries that now flourished, and provided security and wealth, while the werewolf college he had also recently built ensured that future generations were educated in both the ways of the world and the sacred traditions of their kind.He heard the soft giggle of his toddler and turned to see Everly standing in the doorway. Her eyes were filled with warmth as she carried her son, Maxine in her arms.Maxine was now a vibrant toddler with wild curls and eyes as deep and

Chapter: THE HEIR IS HERE CHAPTER 159: THE HEIR IS HERE EVERLY:When Kaelan returned in the evening and learnt about the Carter incident, he became very angry with me.“I told you not to leave our chambers. What did you go to the clinic for?”“I'm sorry, Kaelan. I only wanted to comfort the boy.” I explained.“And what did you get in return, huh? You almost had yourself killed with my pup in your womb.”“Oh, this is all about protecting your pup,” I said calmly.“Don't get me more upset than I already am,. Everly,” he said coldly and stormed out of our room.A moment later, I heard him yelling at someone downstairs and when I looked through the balcony, I saw him yelling at Owen. He told him he was incompetent and couldn't handle a simple task of protecting the Luna.Owen was on his knees begging.I wanted to go downstairs to explain things further but I knew it would make him even more furious. So I held my breath and wished he could calm down. He did calm down eventually but things never remained the same

Chapter: DUNCAN IS DEAD CHAPTER 158: DUNCAN IS DEAD EVERLY:When we left the clinic, Kaelan decided to go to the library to check things out. He was going through some reports when Owen knocked.“Come in,” he responded impatiently.Owen walked in with hesitant steps. “Alpha, Duncan request an audience with you.”Kaelan closed the file in his desk and turned to him. “Is this some kind of a joke? Do you really think I'm jobless? You should know the rules, Owen. I don't go about entertaining wolves from the dungeon.”Owen bowed. “I'm sorry, Alpha.” And then left the room.We spent a few more minutes in the library and then went upstairs. From this moment onward, Kaelan became clingy. He never let me out of his sight. It has been weeks since the rogues abducted me from the market and almost killed me but I still had nightmares. Kaelan was worried and decided that we should seek the help of a certain witch. But I didn't want to go.I couldn't visit a witch with a pup in my womb. Kaelan decided to go alone. I

Chapter: ARTIFICIAL FINGERS CHAPTER 157: ARTIFICIAL FINGERS?EVERLY Viktor let go of my hand when we stepped out of the cell where the rogues had kept me. The building was hidden in a remote forest and I wondered how Viktor was able to locate this place.“I didn't come alone,” he said as if he read my mind. “There are ten Lycans out there, destroying the rogues.”He led me through a hidden path and I saw a car in the distance, waiting.“You brought a car.” I was pleasantly surprised.“Yes, I know you can't shift because of the pregnancy and walking more than twenty miles back to Crescent Moon would be dangerous for you and the pup.”I was impressed with Viktor's thoughtfulness. Who would've thought that the werewolf’s greatest villain had such a good side.I got into the car as soon as we got there and Bennett drove the car away.Beauty was at the gate of the car, pacing. She knew Viktor and the Lycans had gone to rescue and she was obviously anxious. I told Bennett to stop so I could go down. Beauty ran into

Chapter: YOU TOOK A BLADE FOR ME CHAPTER 156: YOU TOOK A BLADE FOR ME EVERLY:Kaelan had been gone for three days.The palace felt empty without him, and each second, I looked forward to his return. It doesn't even matter that Beauty was always in my room, keeping me company.To distract myself, I decided to go shopping with Beauty. “I need some fresh air,” I told her that morning. “And I'm yet to buy baby stroller. Maybe I will see the one I like in the market today.”She grinned. “Sure. Can I come with you?”“Of course,.you can. Kaelan will be mad if he finds out I went to the market alone,” I told her.“Then we need to take some guards,” Beauty suggested. “Just for protection.”I nodded. “Okay. Two or three guards will do.”Beauty went downstairs and informed Owen that we needed three guards to escort us to the market. He made them available immediately.I told the guards to wait in the car when we arrived at the market. I didn't want what happened the last time Beauty and I came to the market to repeat itself ag

Chapter: YOU'RE WELCOME, BABE CHAPTER 155: YOU'RE WELCOME, BABEEVERLY:I felt so furious hearing Kaelan talk about my past in that manner. I don't know if it's the pregnancy hormones but I get easily annoyed these days.I didn't make a fuss. I simply left him in the kitchen and retreated to my room. I always did that whenever Kaelan annoyed me.“Luna, I'm sorry,” he said as he entered my room, a few minutes later, looking worried. “I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”“You don't always mean to hurt me but you always do,” I replied dryly.I was busy knitting a cap for my unborn pup. Kaelan wrapped his arms around my shoulders and buried his head in my neck.“Don't be annoyed, my Luna.”I didn't utter another word.The silence between us grew awkward.“I'm planning on going for a short business trip.” he whispered.I dropped the pins and turned to him. “Oh I get it. You're fed up with me and now you want to abandon me with your pup in my womb.”Kaelan withdrew his arms from my shoulders and gazed into my eyes. “Ho

But I had something else on my mind.Grandma had made me an irresistible offer last night and I wanted to start seducing my husband.The bathroom door burst open.Damien stood there, wide-eyed, slightly disoriented, but instantly alert.

When his eyes landed on the spider, he groaned.“Seriously? That thing?” he asked, half amused, half exasperated.I didn’t respond. I pretended like I was shivering in fear. Don't forget that I was still naked.Damien stood

The way you shrink whenever she enters the room?

His voice was full of confidence. "I’m home baby."I didn’t answer.I stayed exactly where I was on the bed, rocking my body back and forth. My knees tucked to my chest, and my face was buried in my arms. I hadn’t even changed out of the clothes I wore to lunch. I was too confused and worried to care.A few seconds later, the bedroom door opened."There you are," Dami

With the help of a maid, I found the ingredients I needed and started.A few minutes later…"Excuse me, what do you think you're doing?"I paused, lifting the spatula up. I was halfway through scrambling the eggs. I turned to find Barbra standing at the entrance of the kitchen, arms crossed and lips curled in that signature sneer of hers."Good morning ma’am.

"I've not had breakfast. And Damien said—""Nobody cares what Damien says. That’s his problem," she snapped, cutting me off. "This is my kitchen. My house. And I don

"Yeah, We’re married, Kim. We're a real couple."I licked my lips nervously and dropped my gaze to the floor. “But.. this is an arranged marriage,” I mumbled.Damien crossed the room in two strides and tipped my chin up gently. "Arranged, yes. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be real," he said softly. "It doesn’t mean we can’t make it work."I swallowed hard. "I don't know, Damien." I whispered."What? You don't want to get intimate with me?" he said, brushing his thumb across my cheek. “I need time.”"It's fine.

And the look on his face terrified me. My hands trembled slightly, but I didn’t move. Not yet.He tilted his head, watching me with narrowed eyes. The smirk on his lips was gone and he looked like a predator about to tear into his prey. “All I need from you is obedience and you can't give it?”I swallowed hard and rose to my feet. “I’m sorry, Alpha.”He stared at me, taking in every inch of my body through the transparent lace that barely covered me. So this was the purpose of wearing this excuse of a dress? Just so the Alpha could stare through it and gaze at my body? He seemed to notice how my thighs quivered and the subtle shift in my breathing.“Then go on,” he said. “Don’t keep me waiting.”My fingers reached for the strap of the sheer lace dress Clara had forced me into. It barely covered anything, really—just a cruel

Chapter: TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES CHAPTER 18: TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES VENUS :I cried myself to sleep that night and didn’t leave my room for two whole days.Not because I couldn’t. But because I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to see anyone.I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror. Each time I tried, I saw a scared little girl pretending to be strong.I cried. A lot. Not because I saw Maxine with Olivia or even because of Maxine’s cruel words. But because I let myself believe for one stupid second that maybe he cared. Who would blame me? He touched me in ways that made me feel special. Mira still brought me food. Fancy things. Healthy things. Fruits I didn’t even know existed and soups that tasted like they came from a royal kitchen.Mira always stayed to make sure I finished the food. That was the Alpha's order, she always said and he is never to be disobeyed. I had to eat. It was Maxine’s order. He wanted me to be strong. Not for love but for breeding.It has been two days and I was beginning to feel like a pr

She wore a red dress that hugged her body in a way that screamed confidence and manipulation."I heard you questioning someone in anger" she said smoothly, stepping closer to Maxine. "So I decided to come down and check."She reached for Maxine like she owned him. “Is something wrong, Alpha?”Her arms went around his neck but before she could lock them in place, he pushed her away. She stumbled a bit and her eyes widened in embarrassment.I squeezed my forehead in confusion. Did he push her because I was there? Or because he was still angry?It didn’t even matter, Venus.

"Let me see what you bought,” he repeated urgently.I swallowed hard, forcing a calm expression on my face even as my insides twisted like tangled wires. With careful hands, I pulled the paper bag open and handed him the box of painkillers. “Just this,” I said, keeping my tone as neutral as possible.His eyes scanned the label, and his brow furrowed slightly. “Painkillers?”“For my headache,” I replied smoothly, praying he wouldn’t hear the rapid drum of my heartbeat.He stared at me for a long moment, as if weighing the truth in my voice. “So why didn't you tell me you had a headache?” “You were busy, Alpha and I didn't want to disturb you.”Maxine locked eyes with me for a moment.Then,

It seemed to be footsteps, climbing up the stairs.I leaned over the railing and my heart slammed against my ribs.It was Maxine.And he wasn’t alone.Beside him was a beautiful woman. She was tall, elegant, with a cascade of perfect blonde curls falling down her back. She laughed at something he said, and her voice sounded so seductive.They were holding hands and looked perfect together.Something ugly twisted inside me.It must be jealousy.I gritted my teeth and yanked my gaze away.
