DEVIKA: The First Female Alpha Of Vukaria

Everyone in Vukaria knew his name—Hunter of Nightvale, the golden warrior boy.He wasn’t born into greatness, but from the moment he could stand on his own two feet, he trained harder than anyone. He rose faster than any warrior in the Nightvale pack. People whispered about his skill, his strength, his loyalty. Even Alpha Logan, the strong and respected leader of Nightvale, took notice. Alpha Logan had no son. His mate and beta had died in an ambush years ago, and since then, he refused to take another wife. With no heir to his throne, he watched the young warriors carefully, waiting for one to rise above the rest. And one did. Hunter.He was just a boy when he joined the warrior ranks, but it wasn’t long before he became the strongest among them. Not just in battle, but in heart and mind. He fought for his pack, protected the weak, and stood tall in every trial. So, when Alpha Logan finally named a successor, no one was surprised. Hunter was chosen to be the next Alpha. But there

DEVIKAVance stepped forward, fully into the bathroom now, towering over me and blocking the only exit. His body swallowed up the space like a wall, his eyes burning gold."But first," he said, voice low and angry, "what the hell are you doing in my dorm?"My stomach dropped.What?His dorm?I hadn’t known. I’d been in this school almost a month now, and I’d never stepped foot near this wing. I didn’t even know Vance’s room. I thought it was just empty, like most dorms during the festival ball.“I didn’t know this was yours,” I said quickly. “When I talk to you, you answer properly,” he snapped. “What are you doing here? And what the fuck was that sound I heard? Don’t lie to me because I heard you clearly.”“I came to… relieve myself. Been a while I had se…..” I stammered hoping he’d believe the lie I just told him. He stared like I’d just said the dumbest thing alive.“Oh, so you came to my dorm to fucking wank? Of all the rooms, you chose mine?” he yelled, stepping closer, his jaw

DEVIKAI didn’t move.I couldn’t.Vance’s words still echoed in my head, sharp and cold, like the edge of a knife pressed to my throat. My heart was racing, my wolf still pacing wildly inside me, growling and howling that one word I didn’t want to hear again.Mate.No, it wasn’t true. The moon goddess couldn’t be this cruel.Then suddenly, Vance jerked back, coughing loudly like something had caught in his throat. His eyes left mine, and he turned his back as if I had burned him. He stumbled out of the training ring without another word, one hand pressed to his mouth, the other clenched at his side. For a second, I thought he might collapse. But he didn’t. He kept walking, shoulders stiff, jaw tight.His face was hard, unreadable, but I saw it. That flicker. That moment when his wolf recognized mine. Everyone watched in silence, confused and stunned, just like me. I lay there frozen, my heartbeat loud in my ears.Mate? Why him?The Moon Goddess had to be cruel, or blind, or both, b
