Chapter 5

Yumi
Firelight flickered. The crowd parted on its own,making way for Elias.

My collar was still caught in someone's grip. Elias's gaze dropped to that hand.

The next second—

*Crack.*

The sound of snapping bone was sickeningly clear.

The hand holding me was bent backward. Damon let out a shriek and collapsed to his knees.

Dead silence.

The smile on Jaxon's face turned to stone.

Elias removed his cloak and draped it over my shoulders, pulling me into his arms.

His movements were unhurried, yet carried

  • Alpha King’s Mate, Not My Ex’s Servant   Chapter 9

    Winter was quiet in the Silver Moon Pack.I stood on the terrace, a cup of hot tea warming my hands.This kind of peace was something I couldn't have even imagined three years ago.Back then, the first thing I did every morning was check whether Jaxon was still beside me.I'd convince myself that what he did with Tina was only because the Elder Council had forced his hand.Now, all I needed to think about when I woke up was what I wanted to do with my day.This was what a normal life felt like.Footsteps sounded behind me. Elias walked over and tucked my cloak tighter around my shoulders. The gesture was natural, effortless."Cold?"I shook my head.He looked down at me, his eyes warm."You've been sleeping well lately."I smiled and pressed a soft kiss to the corner of his mouth."Because you're here."Just then, a guard's voice came from the outer corridor."Your Highness."I turned.The guard's expression was conflicted."Jaxon, Alpha of the North Mountain Pack, is outside requestin

  • Alpha King’s Mate, Not My Ex’s Servant   Chapter 8

    Third Person POVWinter came early to the North Mountain Pack that year.When the first snow fell, the flags over the mines had already changed.The North Mountain banner had been snapped in two. In its place flew silver and black—the colors of the Alpha King.There was no envoy. No negotiation. Just a single written decree.The North Mountain mines were now under the jurisdiction of the Silver Moon Pack for restructuring.When the news reached the pack, the council hall fell deathly silent.No one spoke.Because everyone knew why.Jaxon stood at the table, staring at the decree. The paper trembled faintly in his hands.He showed no anger. He said nothing.He just stared at those words for a very long time.Until the Elder spoke quietly."Once the mines are handed over, our people will struggle to survive the winter."Only then did Jaxon slowly sit down. His voice was barely audible."...Proceed with the transfer."No one dared say another word.Everyone could see—he had no choice.Thr

    "Let's go."Elias took my hand.I nodded without sparing Jaxon another glance and turned to leave.Behind us, Tina's shrill voice pierced the air."Alpha! Say something! She's just—""Shut up!"Jaxon's snarl was raw and brutal, like every ounce of emotion had been forced through his throat and slammed down at once.Tina froze. It was the first time she'd ever heard him speak to her that way.I didn't look back.Elias led me through the crowd. No one dared block our path. No one dared lift their eyes.As we reached the edge of the camp, I heard whispers trailing behind us."That's really the Alpha King...""She's actually the Alpha King's mate...""Jaxon just tried to lay hands on her..."The North Mountain Pack's campfire shrank into the distance behind us. But Jaxon stood as if nailed to the spot.He stayed there long after the crowd had scattered, long after the fire had nearly burned out—until something seemed to jolt him awake. He turned and strode toward his pack.He didn't say a

    Jaxon's face darkened instantly."You want me to kneel?"His voice was low and hoarse, simmering with barely contained rage.I didn't answer. I just looked at him.His chest heaved. His eyes bored into mine—then something shifted, turning calculating and vicious.He let out a cold laugh."Feeling pretty good about yourself right now, aren't you?"My expression didn't change. But his voice suddenly rose."Three years out of the pack and you managed to seduce the Alpha King?"The air went taut. Everyone kept their heads down, afraid to breathe.Elias's eyes darkened.But I smiled—a smile laced with frigid contempt.Seeing my expression only made Jaxon more agitated, as if he'd finally found a way to regain control."Drop the act. You left the pack and couldn't wait to latch onto someone more powerful."He was spiraling now."You said you weren't here to beg? Looks to me like you just found yourself a bigger protector."Tina latched onto his words like a lifeline, her voice sharp and eage

Damon let out a shriek and collapsed to his knees.Dead silence.The smile on Jaxon's face turned to stone.Elias removed his cloak and draped it over my shoulders, pulling me into his arms.His movements were unhurried, yet carried an absolute sense of possession and protection.The air froze solid. Someone's voice trembled."The... the Alpha King?"Jaxon's pupils contracted. His gaze dropped to the royal crest on Elias's chest.His face went white in an instant."That's impossible..."I straightened slowly, fastening the cloak, and let my eyes settle on Jaxon's face.Just moments ago he'd been towering over everyone. Now he looked like the blood had been drained from his body.Elias didn't spare anyone else a glance. He s

  • Alpha King’s Mate, Not My Ex’s Servant   Chapter 4

    The laughter around us grew louder.A young wolf egged him on. "Alpha, why waste your breath on her? Either lock her up or throw her out.""Yeah—we've got real business to deal with. Word is the Alpha King's showing up today. First time he's attended a gathering like this. We need to secure his protection."Damon stepped forward, shoving at me."You heard them. Get out. This is no place for you."His push sent me stumbling, nearly falling.Jaxon stood there watching. Not a flicker in his eyes.Tina clung to his arm, beaming—like she was watching a show.Jaxon walked up to me and looked down."Alice, if you'd just behaved back then, it wouldn't have come to this. Even if I couldn't give you the Luna title, I would've taken care of you. But no—you had to go mess around with another male wolf."A flash of guilt crossed Tina's face. She stepped forward and took his arm."Alpha, don't bother with her. Let's go back—I'm tired of standing."Jaxon nodded and gave me one last look."Get lost. D
