**Next Morning**

ALINA'S POV

I was jolted awake by the scorching rays of sunlight piercing through the windows and directly into my eyes.

Groaning loudly, I rubbed my eyes, feeling the remnants of sleep still clinging to me. My body ached — sore and stiff from everything I had endured yesterday.

As I sat up, still drowsy and aching, the memories of the previous day came flooding back. I couldn’t believe he had lost control like that — completely unhinged. And I could’ve sworn I saw his teeth dangerously close to my neck.

There’s absolutely no way in hell he’d try to mark me. If he doesn't want me dead, he wouldn’t dare.

My eyes drifted to the spot on my body where he had cut me. It hadn’t healed. The bruise was still fresh — like it had just happened.

Why wasn’t it healing?

Then it hit me. Back at my ex-pack’s palace, I’d learned that if I went even a week without treating wolves, my healing abilities would begin to weaken. I never understood why that happened, but here it was again

    ALINA'S POV I hesitantly stepped into the bathroom, where I found the woman I’d seen earlier—the one who had stood in that royal chamber like she owned the air everyone breathed.“You can leave, Tracy,” she said sharply. Tracy gave a respectful bow and quietly exited.The woman stared at me with a strange mix of disdain and curiosity, like she wasn’t sure if I was dirt—or some trophy to polish and hide.Taking a deep breath, I folded my arms. “You called me here. So, what do you want from me?”She let out a long, amused cackle before locking eyes with me. “And what do you think I want?”“I don’t know!” I snapped. “You called me! What am I supposed to guess? I don’t even know you.”She stepped closer, wrapping her arms around her chest. Her eyes searched mine, cold and calculating. “For your information… I’m his mother. Queen of this pack. Selena.”I scoffed, folding my arms tighter across my chest. “And how do I know you’re not lying? You just walked in here claiming that like it’s s

  • Alpha's Claim: The Rejected Healer    Get ready

    Noxi’s POVI stared at her in shock, struggling to grasp what I was seeing. There was no way—no way—she was proposing to me. Not here. Not now. Not in front of the damn cameras.She just knelt there, one knee on the marble floor, a smug grin curving her lips as if she owned the damn world.“Get the fuck up,” I mouthed at her, glaring with all the heat I could muster.But she didn’t budge. She wasn’t afraid. Her eyes glittered with defiance as she raised the ring, expecting—no, daring—me to slide it onto my finger.I’d had enough.With a sharp snap of my fingers, my guards moved in. The reporters yelped as they were dragged outside—not gently. It was messy, but I needed to stop this spectacle before it got worse.“Mr. North, please—” one of the reporters called out, still filming, hungry for a headline.“Don’t you everstep foot in this house again!” I bellowed. “Who the hell invited you?!”One of them sneered. “She did! Said she wanted it on the news!”The news?! My jaw clenched. That

  • Alpha's Claim: The Rejected Healer    Alina made the vows

    **ALINA’S POV**I saw his face—clearer now, more familiar than I dared to admit. A chill ran down my spine. I knew him. But what in the goddess’ name was he doing here…serving a rival pack?“I…” I began, but the words died on my tongue.Noxi, ever attuned to tension, stepped in with a smirk tugging at his lips. “Should I leave the room for the reunited couple?”“No!!” I snapped, louder than I meant to. My chest tightened with unease.The man tilted his head and gave a little bow. “Luna of the North Pack,” he said with alarming formality, “it’s an honor to finally see you again… especially after you saved my life.”I froze. Saved his life? My brows furrowed. It hit me—he was the boy I had dragged out of the alley, bleeding from a sacred knife wound. But he looked so different now. Hardened. Colder.“I don’t remember saving you,” I lied, trying to stay in control, probing him for more.Without hesitation, he lifted his shirt. My breath hitched at the sight of the scar across his side—th

    **THE MATING ROOM**I stared at him in utter shock, struggling to find words. My lips parted, but nothing came out. How could he say that so easily—so shamelessly? Who even does that?I gave one last glance around the grand, dimly lit room, trying to hold onto a shred of dignity. Dozens of eyes burned into my back—judging, curious, hungry.Then my gaze landed on the second most evil werewolf I had ever encountered. His smirk stretched wider than before, almost triumphant. The cruelty behind it chilled me to my bones.“Are you seriously kidding me right now?” I asked, voice shaking but defiant.Noxi didn’t flinch. His presence radiated a new, raw dominance that sucked the air out of the room. The atmosphere shifted. That dark aura of his always had a way of swallowing light.“You gonna strip,” he said, his voice sharp and unbothered, “or am I gonna have to do it myself?”His tone was venomously casual, as if we weren’t surrounded by people, as if this wasn’t an ambush disguised as a ce

    10 AMALINA'S POVI screamed loudly as I woke up from the horrible dream I had. It was gruesome, yet painfully real.Clutching my chest, questions flooded my mind. Do I really want to begin a journey with someone like him? Someone so cruel?The dream left chills crawling down my spine. But even worse—it gave me a strange feeling about him. He isn’t what he seems. He’s hiding something.Then I noticed it—the reason I woke up. My clothes were drenched in water.“What…is happening?”I was still confused when I heard a voice.“Quickly… change the sheets now!” a woman said as she stepped out of the bathroom.She was dressed in a black suit. Her brown hair fell in soft waves over her shoulder, and her face looked gentle—kind, even.But I reminded myself not to be quick to trust. It backfired once with Reti.“Oh… hi. You woke up. I was gentle with the water…” she said softly—too softly.I looked her up and down, still convinced this was some strange dream. How could anyone be kind to me now?
