A soft, insistent purring vibrated near my ear, dragging me abruptly from the depths of sleep.

Disoriented, I struggled to orient myself, the scents and images of my surroundings merged into a chaotic blur. Then, like a fist to the chest, the chilling realization slammed into me with brutal clarity.

The Crown Prince had played me. Again.

He had known all along that I was hiding in the woods, foolishly believing he had truly left. His staged helicopter departure had been a calculated trap, desig

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 127 – EPILOGUE – The Mate Bond Forged

    The Crown Prince guided me away from the blood-soaked spectacle of the public executions, his strong arms a steady anchor on my back. We moved quickly through the hushed halls of the Palace, heading directly for my private suite, a sanctuary far removed from the chilling events of the morning. The metallic tang of blood still seemed to linger in the air, clinging to my senses, a somber reminder of Andrea's fate. My mind, a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, desperately yearned for a moment of peace, a reprieve from the turmoil. He helped me out of my clothes, his touch surprisingly gentle, his movements efficient and focused. I offered no protest, too weary to resist. He scooped me into his arms and laid me carefully into the waiting bathtub. The lukewarm water embraced my skin, a wave of immediate relaxation washing over me. I closed my eyes, yearning for oblivion, for the horrors of the past hour to simply fade away.

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 126 – The Mercy and The Blade

    Alpha Female Zela's Point of View still I sat beside the Crown Prince, my gaze fixed on the grim preparations for the planned executions. Yesterday had been a roller coaster, the confessions of Erico and Andrea leaving me mentally and emotionally exhausted. The two people I had once trusted most stood on the precipice of facing the ultimate consequences of their heinous deeds. Andrea, a werewolf herself, had understood the gamble. She knew precisely the repercussions her actions could incur if her elaborate plan failed. Her malicious intent, fueled by envy and a twisted desire for what I possessed, had been laid bare. But Erico… he was a mere human. A flash of conscience, a pang of doubt, stirred within me. Yes, he had made grave mistakes, entangling himself in the sinister crimes of werewolves, making him an accomplice in Alpha Jermain's twisted network. But as I mentally

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 125 – Confronting Betrayal

    Alpha Female Zela’s Point of View To say I was shocked by what I was now hearing would be a gross understatement. My mind reeled, trying to process the enormity of the betrayal. Slowly, painfully, my lost memories began to trickle back, fragments of a forgotten past returning to me. It was probably because Erico could no longer feed me that insidious concoction he got from his rogue friends. Yes, it was perfectly clear to me now why those despicable men had sought him out in the bookstore, always acting so secretive. They were the ones who had supplied him with that mind-numbing substance. What my father, Alpha Gene, had said made absolute sense! Those suspiciously large transfers into Erico's bank account, his extravagant purchases, and the luxurious life we had led without him having a steady job or the bookstore bringing in enough money… Everything was connected, it couldn't be anything

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 124 – Unveiling the Truth

    "No, it's time we laid everything on the table for Zela," Alpha Gene boomed, loud and clear, cutting through the silence of the office. His tone was firm, leaving no room for argument. "She needs to understand her attitude towards the Crown Prince is misplaced. When the pups are born, they deserve to enter a family where their parents are on good terms with each other. My grandchildren have a right to that, a stable and loving environment." Ivor immediately ended the video conference. Everyone in the room began to nod, one by one, in quiet agreement. The tension that had filled the air during the public announcement now shifted, becoming a more focused, internal pressure. "Yes, it's high time these two resolve their differences, it serves neither of them," King Brad declared. "And if there's no clarity in their relationship, it will harm the entire Kingdom. Zela is free in her decisions, but she must make

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 123 – Igniting the Bond

    This evening, I deliberately chose not to go to Zela's room. My ego was deeply bruised, still smarting from her sharp words at dinner. This insensitive mate didn't deserve my love! She was selfish, completely disregarding my feelings as her mate, and seemingly uncaring about the well-being of our pups growing inside her. It felt as though she wanted to be rid of me as quickly as possible, to stay far, far away. But I would never allow that! No matter what happened, Zela’s rightful place was here, beside me, in the Palace, and ultimately on the Throne. And, most importantly, in my bed. The situation was becoming unbearable, and the drastic steps I planned to take were necessary to shake her awake, to make her acknowledge the undeniable truth of our bond. Precisely at ten o'clock, she appeared in my office, accompanied by her parents, Lilias, and the ever-caring Auntie Glenny. Her face was pale, suggesting s

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 122 – The Prince's Ultimatum

    Crown Prince Raul’s Point of View My mate had been in the Palace for two days already, and I had to admit, she was pointedly ignoring me. And I’m telling you, it hurt, a deep ache that made Slade whimper in distress. All we wanted was to have her close, to give her and our pups all the love and care they deserved. Yes, pups, the Royal doctor had confirmed that we were expecting twins, a boy and a girl. I had seen them myself on the monitor, a short, intimate moment we had shared, perhaps the only one since her return. For a brief instant, she had opened herself up, giving me a glimpse of her emotions. "Look at them! Aren't they amazing? I can't wait until they're here," she had said, breathless, squeezing my hand tightly. But that moment was short-lived, quickly gone. After that, it was business as usual, her emotional walls back up, stronger than ever. Her suite was right next to mine, our

    "Zela, what’s going on with your scent? Something’s different. I first noticed it on your birthday, but now that you're closer to me, it's unmistakable. It’s not the same as it used to be.”I cleared my throat, stalling for time to come up with an appropriate answer.The potion hadn’t merely weaken

    As we stepped into the dining room, Chrissy already awaited us.With her sharp eyes first locked onto the Alpha, a silent, tense exchange passing between them, before turning to scrutinize me, her gaze passing on every detail.“Zela, are you scavenging for the crumbs I left behind?” she quipped, he

  • Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold   Chapter 18 – The Calculated Deception

    A sharp knock at my bedroom door startled me awake in the early hours of the morning.I groaned, still heavy with sleep, my body unwilling to relinquish the last remnants of slumber. Rubbing my eyes, I tried to shake off the lingering fog of night.“Sweetheart, it’s me. Open the door,” came the Alp

    Alpha Female Zela’s Point of ViewThe ride to Woodcrest was a blur, the high speed of the car rendering the scenery outside into streaks of dark green and gray.I sat stiffly in my seat, my fists clenched at my sides. As the tall gates of Woodcrest loomed ahead, they swung open just long enough fo
