로그인Angela spotted two guards standing outside the particular prison cell. The muffled whimpers coming from inside told her exactly who was imprisoned there. Nora grabbed her wrist, stopping her. "Angela, don't go in there. Alpha will be furious if he finds out. Damn it, he'll skin me alive for telling you this." Angela gently removed her hand. "I'll handle him. Stay here." She jogged toward the cell, only for the guards to block her path. "Our apologies, Luna, but you cannot enter. Alpha’s orders." Angela rolled her eyes. "Have either of you ever been punched by something you couldn't see?" she asked with a sweet smile. The guards exchanged puzzled glances. Before either could react, Angela snapped both hands. They doubled over with pained groans, clutching their stomachs as she walked past them with regal grace. "Don't try stopping me again." She halted a few steps inside. Her husband's broad back stood before her, casting a dark shadow over the broken figure on the floor. "Ange
A soft smile curved Angela’s lips when she found Venessa and Axel sprawled across the same bed, sleeping peacefully in his room. Nora had done a good job putting Venessa to sleep there.She stepped closer to wake the little girl, but the sight of her innocent sleeping face made her hesitate. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, hinting that she had cried herself to sleep.“Mom, won't you wake her?” Axel’s sleepy voice reached her as he sat up, rubbing his eyes.“You're awake?” Angela turned to him with a smile.“Yes! We should wake her.”“Shh! She's sleeping, Axel.” Angela pressed a finger to her lips.“But we have school, Mom...”“I know. Let her sleep a little longer, okay?”Axel frowned but nodded obediently. “Mom, will she leave us?”Angela’s heart softened. Pulling him into her embrace, she gently shook her head.“No, baby. She'll live with us from now on. Daddy just has to send her mommy to another pack for some important work. Until then, we have to take good care of her. Promise
Angela was numb, breathing slowly through her nose, not daring to ask another question. He had killed the woman who had brought the greatest misery into his life, stolen his childhood, and shattered his world.His mother's murderer.It brought him well-known notoriety among the royal families and elders. He had killed the Alpha's daughter of one of the most powerful northern packs, forever branding himself as the notorious and dangerous Alpha King.Did it make her fear him? Hate him? Feel uneasy?No. If anything, she felt proud."You did good." She lay back beside him, staring at the ceiling with a heavy heart. Gideon turned toward her, surprise flickering across his face."Did I? You seem unbothered.""Because I am." She met his gaze. "You did the right thing, Gideon. Sometimes it takes a monster to destroy one. You avenged your mother when no one else could. Honestly, your father was a coward." A faint smile curved her lips. "Tell me, you killed her family too. Her pack."She doubte
Angela sighed. Gideon had never witnessed what real love looked like. His mother's one-sided devotion had scarred his perception, leaving him unable to trust a feeling He had never seen returned. Yet the mate bond was different. The first time He touched her, something had awakened inside him, even if He had never understood it. He had rejected her, but never for another woman. They both had their own battles, yet one thing remained untainted, his character, his unwavering loyalty. That realization touched Angela’s heart and quietly revived the love she had buried. “How could your father's mistress accept this? I wouldn't call it love when your happiness is built on destroying someone else's, especially your own mate.” Angela’s voice dripped with bitterness. “She accepted it because she wanted my father. She wanted to become his Luna Queen. She was the Alpha's daughter from the Northern Pack and had dreamed of marrying him. To the world, she acted as his trusted friend, but she did
Angela felt an unsettling sense of déjà vu as she listened to his parents’ story. Gideon hadn’t simply inherited his father’s features, He had inherited the scars of growing up in a loveless home. George Woodbead never loved his own fated mate, and that hollow marriage had poisoned his son’s understanding of love itself. “My father only married her because of the mate bond and my family’s pressure. Rejecting a fated mate could kill an Alpha, and my father was too selfish to let her go.” Gideon’s body stiffened with bitterness. Fragments of the past flashed through his mind, his father’s cold indifference toward his mother, all to please another woman.Angela hesitantly rested her hand on his chest, gently caressing him as if trying to soothe the ache buried beneath his ribs. He caught her hand, laced their fingers together, and pressed them against his pounding heart. His vacant gaze remained fixed on the ceiling while hers never left him. She wanted him to empty every wound into her
Angela kept staring at Gideon for a good long minute. “What?” “You had feelings for me since then? Gideon, you loved me!” Angela let out a disbelieving laugh, finally realizing her foolish husband had completely shattered every assumption she had made about him being incapable of loving her.Gideon lowered his stormy silver eyes to her and blinked once. “I... only wanted you,” he replied simply. Angela rolled her eyes and sat upright. “Alright. You wanted me as in... my body?” She arched a brow and scooted closer, eager for his answer. The question visibly irked him. “No.” He shook his head curtly.He could have had any woman's body if that was all He wanted, and Angela knew it. The she-wolves of the pack still fawned over him, seizing every chance to catch his attention. Even back in college, human girls had practically thrown themselves at his feet for a single night, never realizing the dangerously possessive Alpha King behind that handsome face. The memory made her smile.
Angela immediately snatched his phone and cut the call with trembling fingers. Gideon watched her tight expression as she tossed his phone onto the table without care. His eyes narrowed at her.“You are not going to reveal this to anyone, Gideon!” she warned, pointing a shaking finger at him, her e
“Pardon me?” Angela blinked her eyes at him. “You heard me perfectly. You are assigned under me which means you stay with me, work beside me, and learn directly from me. I will personally ensure you understand how things function… in my way.”His silver, stormy eyes held something dark beneath th
Angela inhaled sharply, resisting the urge to throw the coffee at him. She glanced at Dash who cleared his throat, turning towards the library shelf, feigning ignorance. Angela was about to walk out when Gideon said, “Take this cup with you!” She clamped her mouth shut, her jaw tightening, as she
Gideon pulled his car to a slow halt near the quiet residential area where Angela lived in an apartment near the Silvermoon pack territory. Wrath had been restless the entire time, urging him, demanding him to go to her.Something was wrong. And Gideon knew better than to ignore that instinct. His
