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.
Kayden's POVThe ride back to the fortress was silent.Nyx sat in the back of the jeep, staring out the window. Her face was blank. No anger. No sadness. Just… nothing.I wanted to reach for her. Touch her. Say something that would make it better. But I didn't know what.Silas got away. In all the chaos of Lyra running, he'd slipped into the dark like the snake he was. By the time we thought to look for him, he was gone.And Lyra was gone too. Running through the woods, probably heading straight back to him.We'd lost them both.I looked at Nyx through the rearview mirror. Her eyes were fixed on the dark trees passing by. Through the bond, I felt it. A heavy, crushing weight in her chest. Pain. Deep and old and fresh all at once.Not just from tonight. From everything. Her family. Her uncle. The woman she'd trusted turning out to be a snake. The stone in her heart.It was all sitting on her, pressing down.I wanted to help. I didn't know how.---We got back. The guards opened the gat
Lyra's POVI watched him from the shadows.Kayden slipped out of the fortress like a thief. Dark clothes. Quiet steps. Looking around like he was scared of being seen.My heart raced with excitement.This was it. The moment I'd been waiting for. He was going to meet someone. Betray her. And I was going to catch him in the act.I waited until he was far enough ahead, then I followed. Silent. Careful. The woods were dark, but my eyes were good. I could see him up ahead, moving toward the old mill.Perfect.I pulled out my phone. Sent a quick message.Come to the old mill. Quick. He's meeting someone.I put the phone away and smiled. Nyx would come. She'd see him with her own eyes. Talking to Silas's people. Plotting against her.She'd kill him herself. Right there. And I'd watch.I crept closer, staying behind trees. The mill came into view. Old and broken. Kayden stood outside, waiting.Then I saw movement. A figure stepping out of the dark.Silas.My heart jumped. My father was here.
Chapter Forty-TwoKayden's POVThe first time the phone buzzed, I was in the training room with the guards.I looked at the screen. Blocked number. My stomach dropped.I knew who it was.I stepped outside, pressed the phone to my ear. Didn't speak."Hello, nephew." Silas's voice. Smooth as poison. "Miss me?""What do you want?""Just checking in. Seeing how my favorite investment is doing." He laughed. Soft. Ugly. "Enjoying your new life? Playing house with the queen?""I'm busy." I started to hang up."Your mother says hello."My hand froze. The phone shook against my ear."What?""Such a sweet woman. Strong. Reminds me of you, actually. She's been asking about you. Wants to know if her boy is okay." He paused. "I told her you're doing great. Living large. Forgetting all about her.""You're lying.""Am I? You want to risk that? Hang up and find out?"I couldn't breathe. "Let me talk to her.""Not yet. Soon. If you behave."The line went dead.I stood there, staring at the phone. My h
Lyra's POVI slammed the door so hard the walls shook.My room. My cage. The place they put me to "rest." I hated it. I hated her. I hated him most of all.Kayden. That smug, turned-wolf bastard. He thought he'd won. Pinning me to the floor like I was nothing. Talking to me like I was a child.I wanted to break something. I grabbed a vase from the table and hurled it at the wall. It shattered. Pretty pieces everywhere. Good.I paced. Back and forth. Back and forth. My mind was a storm.I needed to fix this. Not with a knife. That didn't work. Not with my hands. He was stronger now. No. I needed to be smart. I needed to make her doubt him. Make the doubt grow inside her like a seed until it choked out everything else.She had to start questioning him on her own. Without me saying a word. If I pushed too hard, she'd see it. She was already suspicious of me. I had to be careful. Quiet. Clever.I stopped pacing. An idea formed.Rumors. Little whispers. Things that made people look at him
Kayden's POVThe guards stood in front of me. Twenty of them. Big guys, scarred, mean-looking. Wolves who'd been fighting since they could walk. They stared at me like I was a bug they wanted to squash.I should have cared about that. I didn't.My mind was somewhere else. With her. Nyx. I could fee
Nyx's POVFor one second, I let the mask slip.The look on his face. The guards frozen like statues. The silence so thick you could chew it.I couldn't hold it.A laugh burst out of me. Not a giggle. A full, loud laugh that came from my belly and echoed off the training ground walls.The guards bli
Kayden's POV I stepped closer. Her scent wrapped around me. I breathed it in, let it fill my lungs. "How are you? Really?"The playfulness faded. Her eyes softened. "I'm okay. The pain… it comes and goes. Not as bad as before."A knot in my chest loosened, but didn't disappear. "Is there anything
Kayden's POVThe bond snapped into place like a lock clicking shut.One second I was just a guy who really, really liked this woman. The next… she was inside me. Not like a thought. Like a heartbeat. A second pulse I could feel beating right next to mine.I pulled my fangs from her neck. I licked t
