With Amanda by my side, I exited the King’s study, leaving them to unfold their offensive against Woodcrest. All I knew was that the Crown Prince would act swiftly today, wanting to put this ordeal behind him as quickly as possible and rescue the fifteen captured women.

We settled onto an open terrace, a place I knew offered us a semblance of privacy, safe from eavesdropping ears.

“Amanda, I’m almost certain Lorainne was involved in selecting the she-wolves,” I declared with confidence. "She knows me well, after all, we spent nearly a month together on her yacht before you met me near the cave. If anyone can recognize women who mirror my presence, it’s her. Yet, I still struggle to grasp how I endured so much time in the company of such a heartless creature. The thought alone is staggering."

Amanda nodded, her expression troubled.

“But I wonder, if the Alpha female was Jermain’s accomplice, why did he abduct her too?” she questioned. “The woman doesn’t look anything like you, making h

    Within Woodcrest …“The Alpha did… what?!”Lilias could scarcely believe the words Ivor had just spoken. She had been in Woodcrest for three days already, unable to leave. These last two days, she hadn’t encountered the Beta to discuss their predicament, the man remained in constant consultation with Alpha Jermain. The sole bright spot in this confinement was the extended time she could spend with Ivor, yet on the other hand, she gained no insight into the Alpha’s business.“Keep your voice low,” her mate cautioned. “He held a bloodletting ritual. She-wolves and they all bear a striking resemblance to Zela. He intends to force her to come forward. I don’t believe he realizes he’s also defying the Lycan Prince. Raul will absolutely not appreciate this challenge.”“Doesn’t he know yet that Zela is the future Queen?” Lilias asked, aghast. “What prevents you from warning him? By remaining silent, you’re giving him a valid excuse for his actions.”Ivor shook his head, though the weight of

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 56 – It’s Something Personal

    A fragmented memory surfaced, a fleeting recollection that felt both distant and strangely significant amidst the current crisis. It was an image of a dense, shadowed path, the scent of damp earth and pine needles thick in the air. And within that memory, a figure emerged.The man I had encountered in the wilderness, during my desperate flight from Woodcrest.He had presented himself as Ivor, the Royal Secretary, his features unremarkable yet holding a certain quiet intensity. But later, when a she-wolf emerged from nowhere, she called him Iwan. His mission, he had explained with a grave sincerity that resonated even then, was to aid my escape from the Alpha’s clutches.“I’ve met him, Ivor,” I said slowly, the words carefully weighed, each syllable imbued with the significance of this sudden connection.The pieces of a puzzle I hadn’t even realized existed were beginning to click into place.“In Woodcrest they know him as Iwan, but when he followed me to the woods, he confided in me a

    Alpha Female Zela’s Point of View stillAs we entered the study, the silence there felt heavy and full of dread.My parents, the Royal couple, the Chief Warrior, and the Crown Prince were all present, facing a massive screen mounted on the wall, their expressions grim.Bowing slightly, I formally acknowledged the Royals and took a seat beside my mother, seeking a semblance of comfort in her presence. Amanda positioned herself silently behind us.“Mom, the Crown Prince mentioned that some she-wolves had been murdered,” I whispered.She nodded grimly. “Yes, it’s disturbingly conspicuous that this happened now, of all times. We strongly suspect it’s connected to your escape from Woodcrest.”Stunned by this revelation, the implications of her words sink in like a stone.Could Alpha Jermain truly be capable of such monstrous cruelty, of making other women pay the ultimate price simply because I had managed to flee his grasp? This level of savagery was beyond anything I had expected, even k

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 54 – The Lingering Chill

    As the Crown Prince sank into me once more from behind, a scream of pure pleasure tore from my throat, an uninhibited cry for more, for him to take me deeper.After what felt like an eternity suspended in a realm beyond time, I felt his powerful body shudder violently, the unmistakable sign that his own long-withheld climax was finally upon him. I spread my legs wider, offering him deeper access, as I felt his engorged cock swell even further, pounding into my slick, aching depths with unrestrained force.“My Zela, ahhh, this feels… beyond words… you are incredible,” he grunted, as his hot seed flooded my pussy. He slid in and out a few more desperate, shuddering times before collapsing half on top of me, his breathing ragged and uneven. He cupped me tightly in his arms, pulling me onto his sweat-slicked chest, his grip like a vise.“Let us cease this futile battle, my love,” he urged, his voice thick with raw emotion. “Stay with me, Zela. Let us cherish these moments, this great bond

    Alpha Female Zela’s Point of View stillThe subtle pressure on my chest drew me from the depths of sleep.Cautiously, my eyelids fluttered open, allowing the muted light of an unfamiliar room to gradually coalesce into recognizable shapes. A soft, rhythmic snoring, intimately close to my ear, confirmed I was not alone. Someone was sharing this bed with me.I twisted onto my side, my eyes snapping open to look directly into the peaceful, sleeping face of the Crown Prince. Had he been lying there throughout the long night? His hand rested possessively upon my chest, a tangible weight that betrayed a deep-seated fear that I might vanish again, slip from his grasp once more. I inhaled deeply, a reflexive attempt to ground myself in the present while his familiar scent filling my senses. Thankfully, the potion’s effects was still intact, the agonizing pull of the mate bond a dull thrum, less intense than the searing fire I had come to dread.Then, with a languid slowness that sent a shiver

    “Zela, please, accept the Crown Prince. That’s the best way to go.”Amanda’s nagging tone grated on my nerves. Her voice, usually gentle and supportive, was now a demand rather than advice and I could feel the familiar surge of frustration rising within me. I exhaled slowly, forcing my frustration down.My decision is already made, I refuse to be swayed. I want nothing to do with this so-called prophecy, the royal expectations, or the suffocating pressure to conform.I couldn’t fathom the audacity of the Crown Prince.He had an entire kingdom’s worth of suitors vying for his attention, yet he dared to force me into this arrangement, as if my will meant nothing. He was used to absolute obedience, to having the world bend at his command. Every word he spoke, every action he took, dripped with the arrogance of a man who had never heard the word no.But that was precisely why I refused.If I was just another willing participant, another eager conquest, he would have lost interest by now.

    Lying to the werewolf King was pointless, telling the truth was dangerous.Everyone knew he has the ability to always see through deception. I felt his gaze on me, his question making my throat tight. I had to be careful with my words to avoid his notice without getting myself in trouble.“Your Majesty, I do not feel the mate bond with the Crown Prince,” I stated stubbornly. “My wolf has remains silent about that matter. I do not know what happened that night, perhaps the Prince’s aura was too overwhelming to resist. But I do not blame him, he doesn't have to take any responsibility. All I want now is to return home and live a peaceful life without his influence.”Before I had even finished speaking, the King shook his head.“That is no longer possible. Perhaps your father has not told you about the prophecy. There is no other way, you must become Raul’s mate. By doing so, you will save our species, and Alpha Jermain’s evil plans will be rendered useless. If I let you go, it could lea

    Alpha Female Zela’s Point of View stillShock was an understatement for what held me captive at this moment.A chilling fear seized me, the horrifying realization that I was ensnared, caught by a person whose desires twisted far beyond any semblance of love or trust. I had just escaped the Alpha, only to fall into the hands of another predator.Moon Goddess! What wrong have I done to deserve this?But I refused to surrender without a fight. I would not go down easily. So, I pulled myself from that paralyzing state and turned fully to the Lycan Prince.“I have just arrived home, Crown Prince,” I replied lightly, as if today had been the most joyous day of my life. “Going to the Kingdom is not in my plans. Saving our species is the duty of the Royal family and the Lycan race. I am just a simple werewolf in a pack.”He walked closer, and as soon as he did, I stepped aside. Under no circumstances would I tolerate body contact. He needed to keep his distance.“You are mistaken, love,” he c
