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.
Lyra’s POV I saw the whole thing. I was supposed to be in my room, but the guard was dumb. I slipped out. I hid in the dark where the hall turns. I heard their voices. His voice was tight. Angry. Hers tried to sound like a boss, but it just sounded… hurt. I watched them in the doorway of that room with the maps. She put her hand on his chest. He called her “Alpha.” Not like her name. Like a bad word. Then he walked away from her. Her face… oh, her face. She looked lost. Like a kid dropped in the woods. She took a step after him. That’s when I moved. I came out of the shadows. “What are you doing?” I asked. My voice was soft. Sweet. She jumped. Turned fast. “Lyra. You were ordered to rest. You shouldn’t be wandering.” “I know. I’m sorry.” I looked down, playing nice. “I just had to thank you. For believing me. For letting me go.” I made my voice shake. “You saved my life.” She shrugged. Like it was nothing. “ “Your story checked out. That’s all. Go back to your room.” She tri
Nyx's POV The word was quiet, but it cut through the room like a knife. Kayden took one step forward. “You can’t be serious.”I finally looked at him. His jaw was set, his eyes blazing. “My judgment has been given.”“Your judgment is wrong!” he said, his voice rising. He pointed at the girl, who shrank back. “This is a plant! A story fed to her! Can’t you see that? Lyra’s had days to get a story straight! This proves nothing except that she’s clever!”A hot spike of anger shot through me. It wasn’t about Lyra anymore. It was about the challenge. In front of my guards, in front of a witness, he was openly defying me. Questioning me.“What would you have me investigate, Head of Security?” I asked, my voice dripping with icy scorn. “Her tears? Her matching story? Should I torture this girl until she says what you want to hear?”“I would have you use your brain, not just your guilt!” he shot back. “Lyra tried to have you killed! This is a staged show, and you’re buying the front-row tick
Nyx’s POVI woke up to sunlight and warmth. That was the first strange thing. I don’t usually wake up warm.The second strange thing was the weight on my chest. An arm. Heavy and solid.I turned my head. Kayden was asleep beside me, on his stomach, his face turned toward me. One arm was thrown over me, his fingers curled loosely near my shoulder. In sleep, all the sharp edges were gone. No smirk, no challenging glint in his eyes. He just looked… peaceful. Young, even.A stupid, soft feeling bloomed in my chest. A smile started to tug at my lips.I caught it. Killed it.Carefully, like defusing a bomb, I slid out from under his arm. He mumbled something, frowned in his sleep, but didn’t wake. I stood by the bed for a second, looking down at him. The sheets were tangled around his waist, showing the bandage on his side and the muscles of his back. My marks were on his skin. His were on mine.This was becoming a problem.I walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on hot. Under the
Lyra’s POVThe dungeon smelled like wet stone and old fear. My dungeon. I’d walked past this cell a hundred times, never thinking I’d be inside. The cold ate into my bones. No one had come. No food. No water. Just silence and dark. Nyx was making me wait. Letting the fear and the cold do the work for her.It just made me angry. The kind of angry that burns through fear and leaves pure hate behind. I wanted this over. I wanted her dead. I wanted to be out of this hole and warming my hands by her funeral pyre.Then I heard it. The heavy gate at the end of the hall groaned open. A flicker of stupid hope lit in my chest. Nyx. Coming to see me. To apologize, maybe. To beg me to tell the truth.I caught the scent on the damp air a second later. Soap. Male sweat. Him.I schooled my face into something cold and unimpressed as his footsteps stopped outside my cell.Kayden stood there, looking at me through the bars. He looked better. Still pale, but standing tall. He had a smug look on his stu
