LOGINShe survived the poison that killed her family. She built an empire on the bones of men who hurt her. She swore no man would ever touch her heart again. Then her uncle sent the same boy who poisoned her fifteen years ago… …this time to seduce her, break her, and finish the job. He was supposed to kill the Alpha Queen. Instead, he woke the only thing that can save her—or destroy them both.

“On your knees!” I barked.
He dropped to his knees so fast like his legs could no longer carry him. I didn't need to be told he was frightened. Sweat was pouring down his face and he was already shaking. The fear in his eyes only made me smile. I liked it when they trembled in front of me.
I leaned back on the chair, spreading my legs wide. My voice came out cold. “Make me cum. You know what happens if you fail.”
He swallowed hard. He crawled closer, his hands shaking as he reached for me. I grabbed his hair and shoved his head between my thighs. “Don’t waste my time,” I growled.
He started licking, his tongue moving in a clumsy and desperate way. His whole body trembled like a leaf in the wind. I could feel how hard he was trying, how badly he wanted to live.
It was Pathetic. Pathetic because I knew. I knew he wasn't going to make me cum. No man has and no one will. Only a woman's touch could come close to stirring anything within me.
I pressed his face harder against me just to hear him choke. My laugh was bitter. “Do your best,” I whispered. “It won’t matter.”
Inside, my thoughts spiraled. I wasn't doing this because of pleasure, or wait! It was for pleasure but not in that way. I'd get the pleasure when I kill him for not making me cum. Men were despicable creatures and each day, I look for an excuse to end one of them.
My name is Nyx Fender. And I am an Alpha. Surprising, right? Because an alpha is never supposed to be a woman. But I am living proof that the rules don’t matter when the moon goddess chooses.
My father was the Alpha King. He was revered and feared. Even other alphas lowered their heads when he walked past. He had power in his veins, but he wasn’t a monster. People loved him, except his own brother.
According to them, they'd waited for years before they had us. My mother had given birth to three girls, triplets. While it was a thing of joy for us, my uncle saw an opportunity.
No male child meant the throne would go to him. But all his ambition came crumbling when My father declared that one of us would be alpha. My uncle’s heart turned black.
The council called it madness. It had never been heard of that a woman ruled the pack but my father stood his ground and that didn't sit well with my uncle so he poisoned us. My parents. My sisters. Me.
Somehow, I managed to survive. I was only ten then. I knew it would be dangerous to stay back so I left. I was weak and alone but I didn't stay weak for long.
From ten till eighteen, the world showed me hell. I was raped. Sold like property. Beaten till I bled. Starved till my stomach turned to stone. I learned to steal, to kill, to harden. Every man who touched me carved hatred deeper into my bones.
And to make matters worse, I was a late bloomer. I didn't get my wolf till I was twenty and that too brought another form of torture to me. But when my wolf finally came, I was already a shell. My heart had no softness left. My wolf gave me power, but it wasn’t enough. I wanted more. I wanted it to be limitless.
So I made a deal with the moon goddess. I told her I didn’t want to be just an Alpha. I wanted power that had no end. She gave it to me, but at a price. Piece by piece, my heart would turn to stone. When the last piece hardens, I will die. Unless I find a way to soften it again.
I don’t care. Death has chased me before and I outran it. I’ll choose power every time.
By the time I returned, my uncle was sitting on the throne that belonged to me. I tore it from him with blood.
From there, I didn’t stop. Pack by pack, land by land, I conquered. I built empires. I broke men. Now I am the richest, most powerful Alpha in the world. Alpha Queen.
But all that didn’t fill the hole in my chest. I was still angry and no matter what I did, the anger never went away. So for now, I'll do what pacifies it a little.
“Pathetic,” I hissed, dragging myself out of my thoughts and shoving the man’s head harder against me. He whined, tongue shaking, desperate to keep going.
Then I felt it, his movement shifting. His hands pushed higher, trying to slide where they had no right.
My eyes snapped open. “What do you think you’re doing?”
He froze, stuttering, mouth still wet. I didn’t wait for an answer. My claws slid out in one smooth motion. With one strike, I slashed clean through his neck. His head hit the floor with a dull thud. His body twitched once, then nothing.
The room was silent except for my breathing. That's what they're like. Greedy, pathetic things.
Then, three knocks on the door.
“Come in,” I said calmly.
One of my men stepped inside. His eyes widened when he saw the headless body on the floor. He froze like ice, his mouth opening, closing, no words coming out.
I leaned back, licking my lips, still glowing with the rush of violence. “You’d better have something good for me. Or you’ll join him.”
He swallowed hard. “We… we found him. We found your uncle, Silas but he's under the protection of the Northern Pack Alliance. Attacking him directly would mean war"
I smiled. War is what I was formed from. If it'll take war for me to have his head, so be it.
Chapter NineKayden’s POVFinally, she was asleep.I was on my side, elbow digging into the mattress, just… watching her. Even now, she didn’t look restful. Her eyebrows were pulled together. Her mouth had that little downturn at the corners. Like she was carrying every problem she’d ever had right into her dreams.It made my own chest ache. A stupid, physical reaction I didn’t ask for.I shook my head a little. Idiot. Cut it out.This was just work. A job. The plan was simple: get close, get her to trust me. Telling her the truth about the poison—or a slice of it—was a solid move. Made me look like a turncoat. Made her think I was her new best weapon against Silas. She believed me. She let me stay.But the other thing… that was messing me up.Right from the start, from that first second in the warehouse, I wanted her. And I don’t mean for the mission. I mean a real, crawling-under-the-skin kind of want. I figured once we… you know, once it happened, the feeling would fade. You scratc
Lyra’s POVHard as I tried not to let my excitement show, a small stupid little smile kept trying to curl my lips as I walked the dim hall toward Nyx’s rooms. Four days. It’d been four whole days since I’d had her to myself. Lately, all her time got sucked up by that new prisoner, the half-dead human male she hauled in from the warehouses. Probably torturing him. Taking him apart bit by bit, like she does. I get it. After everything, rage is what keeps her moving. But hell, I missed her and I'm sure as hell she missed me too.Tonight, I’ll remind her I’m the one who can cool that fire.I wore the deep red silk slip, the one that stops mid-thigh. Thin straps crossed my back. Nothing underneath. Just skin. My hair fell loose, and I’d dabbed jasmine oil at my throat—her favorite. She always said it made her want to bury her face right there and forget the world.The guards at the end of the corridor looked away as I passed. They know better than to stare. I’m the Alpha Queen’s lover. The
Nyx’s POVGod, my pulse was hammering so hard I could hear it in my ears. Each step up those damn stone stairs felt like wading through mud, his hand wrapped around mine, fingers tangled in a way that was too gentle for someone who’d tried to kill me. His skin was rough—calluses from whatever weapons he wielded, a slight shake he probably thought I wouldn’t notice. Or maybe it was my own hand trembling. Hard to tell anymore.What the actual hell was I doing? This wasn’t me. I’m the Alpha Queen. I don’t do hand-holding. I don’t bring assassins into my private rooms for a chat. I chain them up, break them down, make sure they never get up again. But here I was, letting this guy—the one who’d poisoned my family—walk beside me like we were on a date.The door to my suite finally appeared, that massive oak slab with iron bands, wolves and moons carved deep into the wood. I shoved it open, and the room hit me with cool air and the faint glow of city lights spilling through the tall windows.
Kayden ’s POVThree days. The silver chains had been biting into my wrists for three solid days.The burns weren’t just burns anymore. They were raw, angry trenches. If I shifted wrong, a white-hot jolt would shoot straight up to my elbows. I kept my mouth shut. Opening it meant her name might slip out—a ragged groan, a curse, something worse. Something like a plea.Nyx hadn’t returned. Not since that night she rode me until the world dissolved. Three nights of hollow quiet. Three nights of my mind replaying it all on a loop: the shudder of her thighs, her claws anchoring into my shoulders like she was trying to fuse us together, that whispered “Mate” against my skin before she choked on the word and vanished.I knew why she was hiding.She was scared.And me?I was free-falling.Footsteps hit the stone stairs, sharp, pissed-off staccatos. The door slammed open so hard the wall shook.There she stood. Dressed in a severe black suit, hair scraped back, eyes burning that liquid gold. Sh
