Crystal's POV

The next morning came fast and I felt suffocated.

I needed to breathe. The walls of Adrian’s mansion were too stiff, too silent. I couldn’t sit still with all these questions eating me alive.

So I turned to Lyra.

“I want to take a walk,” I said simply.

Lyra blinked in surprise. “Now? Are you sure that’s going to be a good thing? You don't really know this pack yet...”

“They cheered for me yesterday,” I cut in before I could second-guess myself. “They threw petals. They smiled. They chanted my name. They cheered for me. I’m not expecting parades today, but I’d like to believe they meant it.”

Lyra hesitated, then nodded. “Alright. But I’m walking with you.”

And so we stepped out of the mansion's gates, side by side. The wind was kind of cold, brushing over my skin like a reminder that I didn’t belong here. But I immediately shoved the thought away.

I forced a smile as we entered the heart of the Gravepine Pack.

But then...it hit me.

The silence. The shift in the air immed

  • TAMING THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   Chapter 020

    Adrian's POV The wind blew gently as I walked down the stone path that was a walkway leading away from the Alpha’s mansion. My steps were deliberate and calm, my shoes hitting the stones gently. But my mind… my mind was far from calm. It was a damn raging storm.I ignored the bowing wolves lining the way. Some tilted their heads lower than necessary, others muttered, “Alpha,” as I passed. I nodded out of habit, a practiced motion with zero thought behind it. Let them think I was calm. Let them think I had it together. That I wasn’t seconds away from ripping my own head off just to quiet my thoughts.Lots of different faces bowing before me, male, female, old, young. Some I recognised familiarly, some slightly. But only one name rang inside my head as I walked ahead.Crystal.That name had begun to feel like a curse and a craving in the same breath. How this was possible was what baffled me. I had never felt this way before.I clenched my jaw and tried to shake her out of my head, but

  • TAMING THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   Chapter 019

    Crystal's POV The heavy slam of the door echoed like a slap in the face. I sat there, my back still pressed against the wall where Adrian had pinned me, trying to catch my breath. My chest heaved with a mix of fear, fury, and a sickening kind of... pain. My body remembered his touch far more vividly than my mind cared to admit.What the hell was that?He’s a monster, Crystal. A possessive, controlling, unpredictable monster.And yet… why did your knees go weak when he said he couldn’t control the madness inside him?I shook the thought away violently, disgusted with myself. I couldn't afford this weird thoughts of mine. Not now, not ever. Not when I was surrounded by strangers who hated me. Not when the man I was supposed to call mate treated me like a chained object.I stood to go to the balcony, desperate for air, for space, for anything but the echo of his breath on my neck, when the door swung open."Luna" Lyra called. She stood on the doorway, her hand holding the door, her eyes

  • TAMING THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   Chapter 018

    Crystal's POV I got in my room and locked myself alone inside, burying my entire body beneath my bed sheets. My mind and body were weak from exhaustion and all the strange events happening since I arrived.I didn't sign up for this. If his pack loved him as I thought they did, why didn't they accept his choice?Their criticising words replayed in my head. Was it my fault that their Alpha chose me? I suddenly became angry. What was even their problem? Did I choose their alpha? Why would I drug him? I didn't even want him to choose me from the jump!Why would I drug him and make him choose me when I didn't even want him? There was no one with me but I felt like firing all these questions at someone.Then the slam of the door startled me.I immediately sat up on the bed and looked at the door.Adrian stood just inside the doorway, radiating a heat that made the room feel smaller. His expression was a storm, his eyes dark, his jaw clenched, his chest rising and falling like he’d just s

  • TAMING THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   Chapter 016

    Crystal's POV The towel clung to me as I stepped out of the bathroom. My skin was still damp and trembling, not from the warmth of the water, but from what I’d just seen.Adrian. Watching. Unblinking. Unashamed. Like a predator watching its prey.My heart was still a frenzy beneath my ribs, pounding like a war drum, even as my face remained strangely composed. I didn’t scream. I didn’t cry. I had learned how to control my expressions and the emotions I displayed.I had stared back at him through the misted glass, letting my silence make him know of violation he just committed.Now, in my room, the air was colder than before. Or maybe it was just me. Maybe it was the shivers that had come from what just happened. I felt hollowed out from the inside.Lyra was there, arranging pillows I hadn’t even used. She was dutifully committed. It was touching to see. I know she really cares about me.She looked up as I walked in, her lips curving into a polite smile. “I set your night gown by the

  • TAMING THE RUTHLESS ALPHA   Chapter 015

    Crystal's POV Steam curled around me, wrapping my body in warmth I hadn’t felt since I days now. It had been a hell of a couple days since Adrian arrived at my pack. Dread, bloodshed and tension had been the order of the day. The water kept falling down on my shoulders, washing away the blood of the past week, the fear, the dust, the scent of war still clinging to my heart and body.My hands were halfway through rinsing the soap from my arms when something shifted.A chill ran down my spine. Not the water. Not the cold. Something else.I blinked, heart hammering in my chest.Slowly, I wiped the fog off the glass panel in front of me, and what I saw nearly sent me collapsing to the floor.Adrian.He stood there, arms crossed, leaning against the frame of the shower room like he belonged there. Watching me. Not speaking. Not hiding.Watching me!My heart stopped.His eyes were fixed on me as though he had been seeing through the mist all the while. At this point, I was sure he had.How
