last update Last Updated: 2025-06-27 10:47:13

Ayla stood still, her soft skin glowing under the warm candlelight. Her heart was pounding. She was completely naked now.

She walked slowly toward the small golden bowl that held burning coals. Sweet-scented herbs crackled on top, sending thin trails of smoke into the air. The scent was soft, sweet, and strange. It filled the room like a warm cloud.

She stood above the bowl and hesitated.

Do I really have to do this?

A deep shiver ran down her spine. But she took a breath and stepped closer. She parted her legs and slowly squatted over the smoke. Heat rushed up toward her most private part, making her legs shake slightly.

At first, it was only warmth. Then, a tingle began to grow. An itch she couldn’t scratch. A strange pressure deep inside her that confused her more than scared her.

What… what is this feeling?

Her eyes widened. Her breath hitched. It wasn’t pain, but it wasn’t peace either. It was something wild, new, and oddly… good.

Her body reacted before her mind could k

    Rykerr’s hands dropped from Ayla’s waist. He turned his cold eyes to his brother. “What problem?” he asked, his voice dropping back into his commanding tone. Ulric took a step closer. He lowered his head a bit and spoke in a low voice, but Ayla still heard every word. “Princess Sheila is here.” The King froze.“No,” he whispered. Ayla looked up at him, her heart racing again. She did not know who Princess Sheila was yet, but from the King’s expression, she knew that this name would bring nothing to them but trouble. Her small hand reached out and touched his clenched fist. She slipped her fingers between his, trying to calm him. His eyes flicked down to their joined hands, and for a second, the fear on his faded just a little. He looked at her with eyes that said many things but no words came out yet. Ayla swallowed hard and held onto him tighter. She knew deep in her heart, whatever this Princess Sheila wanted, she would stand beside her King. No one would take him from her. Not

  • ALPHA KING'S BRIDE: THE POWER OF HIS LUNA    0048. PRINCE RABAN PRETENCE CAUGHT

    “Stay away from my mate,” King Rykerr growled, his deep voice, vibrating in the small clinic room like a storm. His grey eyes burned with anger as he glared at Prince Raban. Ayla, who had been gently checking Raban’s pulse, froze. Her soft fingers stayed on the Prince’s wrist for a heartbeat longer before she quickly pulled her hand away. Her eyes widened in shock at the King’s sudden anger. Prince Raban jumped up from the bed as if he had been burned, and raised both palms in the air. He forced a light smile on his lips. “Brother, what are you saying?” he said, trying to laugh it off. “I only came here to get treated by the best healer in the whole palace. You shouldn’t react like this.” But the King’s growl only got deeper. The sound rumbled in his chest like thunder. His sharp eyes stayed fixed on his younger brother. Ayla felt the change in atmosphere. She could feel the King’s power like heat. It made her chest tighten and her heart beat faster. Ayla reached for the table beh

  • ALPHA KING'S BRIDE: THE POWER OF HIS LUNA    0047. HIS MARK ON HER

    It was still early in the morning. Ayla was inside her temporary clinic, standing beside a long wooden table covered with herbs, bowls, and clean clothes. She was carefully mixing a paste in a small bowl while Beta Garrett sat on the bed close by. Beta Garrett has finally returned back to the pack as he is now recovering well.The King had given his word that Ayla should treat him. While pressing a warm cloth on his shoulder. Ayla smiled at him. “Does this hurt?” she asked gently. Beta Garrett winced a bit but forced a smile. “No, my Lady. You have soft hands. Not like the old healer who pokes like a chicken.” His words caused Ayla to giggle softly. She liked his humour. She was focused on cleaning his wounded shoulder and applying a special healing paste. Her hands moved gently, it made Garrett relax. But then, Garrett’s eyes fell on her neck. At first, he didn’t notice it because her hair was down. But when she bent forward to pick up another cloth, her hair moved to the side. T

  • ALPHA KING'S BRIDE: THE POWER OF HIS LUNA    0046. SECOND CHANCE MATE

    KING RYKERR AND AYLA The scent of cedar and pine filled Ayla’s nose. It smelled so good. Her wolf, Maya, purred happily inside her. Suddenly, the room filled with gasps. “Ryk... you’re my mate?” Ayla asked, her eyes wide in shock. She couldn’t believe it. The Moon Goddess had finally blessed them and had tied them together through the sacred mate bond. King Rykerr looked at her with tears in his eyes. “I don’t deserve a second chance,” he said quietly. “You’re too pure... too kind. Someone like me doesn’t deserve someone like you. But still... I’ve been given this blessing.” He looked happy, but there was sadness in his voice. He had lived many years thinking he would never find love again. But now, the Moon Goddess had proved him wrong. Then Ayla’s scent hit him, a soft mix of citrus and hazelnut. It drove him wild. It was sweet and warm, and it pulled him toward her like magic. He still couldn’t believe it. How could he find his mate like this, in such a moment and place?

  • ALPHA KING'S BRIDE: THE POWER OF HIS LUNA    0045. MATES

    KING RYKERR AND AYLA King Rykerr and Ayla were now very close. Their bond had grown strong. No one could come between them. Slowly, Ayla made some changes in the palace. She replaced the kitchen workers. She also changed some maids and servants. She wanted to protect the king. She didn’t want anyone around him who could harm him. The palace was now well-organized. Before, it was too easy for people to enter, even the king’s private area. But now, things are different. No one could enter the palace or the king’s wing without permission. Only people with permission could come in now. The king followed a proper routine. He went to court meetings on time. He handled work in his office and always returned to Ayla at the right hour. This new way of life felt strange to many people. They were not used to seeing their Alpha King act like this. It was all new to them. ******** “Tell me what you want, Ayla. Anything you say, I’ll do it. I promise, my love. My Queen,” the king said softl

    KING RYKERR AND AYLA The morning sun slowly rose above the mountains, and it gently slipped through the windows of the King's royal chamber, resting on the large bed where King Rykerr and Ayla lay. The King was already awake. He had been lying beside her for a while, but he hadn't moved. He just stared. His eyes locked on Ayla's peaceful face. She was still sleeping, curled gently on her side, her golden hair spread across the pillows like strands of sunlight. Her breathing was soft and steady. Her skin glowed. He had always known she was beautiful, but watching her so close, he realized something else. She was breathtaking. He slowly lifted himself onto one elbow, being careful not to wake her. His heart was beating slowly but heavily. He didn’t want to look away from her face. Her long lashes rested on her cheeks. Her lips were slightly parted, soft and pink. He had kissed those lips. He had heard her moan his name. And now… now he couldn’t believe how deeply she was inside h
