"Wait, no! I'm on my period!"

Lucian's movements stopped abruptly. He buried his head in the side of my neck, his nose twitching. Sure enough, he smelled blood.

This was a signal that my body was vulnerable.

"Damn it." He cursed under his breath and quickly rolled off the bed, forcibly suppressing the clamoring desire in his body.

The overwhelming aggressive presence from moments ago instantly dissipated as cold air rushed in.

Not quite used to the sudden change, I called out to him. "Lucian..."

"Don't move." He raised his hand to stop me. "I'll get some aspirin."

...

Five minutes later, the bedroom lights were adjusted to the softest warm glow. The vicious wolf who had just been about to forcibly mark me was now sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a cup of hot tea.

"Drink this." His tone was stiff, but his gaze was worriedly fixed on my lower abdomen. "Does it hurt?"

I shook my head, taking small sips as mixed feelings churned inside me.

After I finished drinking, he pu

  • The Alpha King I Bought   Chapter 13

    One year later, I did not become a protected Luna Queen. Instead, I returned to the family business, purged the corruption, and expanded the Sterling Group's territory twofold.Lucian gave me absolute freedom. However, the only price was that I had to fly back on a private jet every month to help him ‘put out fires’.Afterwards, to maintain my dignity as an ‘independent woman’, I would insist on paying him a large sum of money, then pull up my pants and run while he was still basking in the afterglow.I figured he had to be the most frustrated Alpha King in history. Every month, Lucas would look at the enormous deposits in the account and sigh."Alpha King, your net worth has increased again."Lucian would reply, "Get lost."...Today was Lucian's birthday and the Shadowfang kingdom's grand annual celebration.In the palace, Lucian sat on the throne in a black military dress uniform, his expression cold.The wolves below whispered among themselves."I heard that the Sterling

    When I woke, the reassuring scent of cold cedar filled my nose.Outside the window stretched endless snowy mountains. This was the northern wolf territory.Lucian was slumped at the bedside, gripping my hand tightly, his brow furrowed as if terrified I might disappear.I moved my fingers slightly, and he immediately jolted awake, his bloodshot eyes checking me over. "Vivian! Are you hurt anywhere?"Seeing the imposing Alpha King act like a panicked child made my heart soften. I shook my head.Lucas pushed the door open and handed over a tablet. The news headline was shocking. [All Core Members of the Crawford Family Arrested.]In the twenty-four hours I had been unconscious, Lucian had acted decisively. To protect himself, Mr. Hayes had turned over evidence of the Crawford family's tax evasion and bribery.Through expedited proceedings, Austin was sentenced to life imprisonment, and his accomplices were purged across all industries.As for the Sterling family, Lucian had inje

    "Mr. Mitchell! Mr. Hayes! Save me! This thug brought a private army to stage a rebellion!" Austin looked at them like they were his saviors.Mr. Mitchell, who usually considered Austin a brother, rushed forward and backhanded him across the face."Shut up! Are you trying to get us killed?"Mr. Mitchell was not satisfied after the slap and continued to kick Austin over viciously. Then, he turned and dropped to his knees before Lucian with a thud."Alpha King! This is a misunderstanding! We had no idea this idiot offended your Luna Queen! We have nothing to do with him!"Mr. Hayes was not to be outdone, nodding and bowing obsequiously."Yes, yes! Your Majesty, just say the word, and I can have evidence of the Crawford family's tax evasion and commercial bribery delivered immediately! I guarantee he'll rot in prison for life!"Austin was completely stunned. He clutched his swelling face, staring in disbelief at these two powerful figures now groveling like lapdogs before the were

    A dozen black figures rappelled down ropes and burst into the room."Don't move! Get down!"Austin's elite bodyguards were taken down before they even saw what hit them. Their joints were wrenched, and bodies were slammed to the floor."Let go of me! Who the hell are you? This is illegal! You can't just barge in here!" Austin screamed as he was pressed against the shattered glass."Oh my God! Look at the insignia on their chests!"A reporter in the corner suddenly shrieked. "The silver wolf head... That's the personal guard of Shadowfang kingdom's Alpha King! The legendary Gamma special forces!"The Alpha King? That supreme leader came in person? Could his fated mate be here?"Before everyone could process this earth-shattering news, all the Gamma warriors simultaneously dropped to one knee, right fists pressed to their hearts, heads bowed toward the window."We welcome the Alpha King!"The helicopter cabin door opened. A tall, imposing figure stepped in against the backlight.

    "Breaking News: Early this morning, 300,000 troops from the northern Shadowfang kingdom suddenly crossed the border and amassed in our city on a massive scale!"The governor and mayor have rushed over to negotiate! The city's entire airspace has now been taken over by the kingdom's air force!"According to inside sources, this military action is not an invasion but rather a personal trip by the Alpha King, who has never made a public appearance. Rumor has it he has a fated mate lost in the human world, and he traveled thousands of miles just to find her…"The romantic fairy tale on the news made my current reality feel especially ironic.My ‘fated mate’ ran faster than anyone else when I needed him most."Liar..."I huddled in the corner of the closet, clutching one of Lucian's black shirts that he had not taken with him.Initially, I had wanted to rush in here to cut up and burn all these clothes. However, the moment I picked up the shirt, the faint lingering scent of cold ceda

    "It's you, Vivian."My heart skipped a beat.For a moment, I almost believed him, but rationality quickly returned.There were billions of people in the world. How could it possibly be that coincidental? How could a pet I casually bought at an auction house for entertainment just happen to be my destined love?I was more willing to believe this was a clever wolf spinning sweet words to please his benefactor."Lucian." I smiled and patted his face. "You're too good at sweet talk."But don't worry. As long as you behave, I won't return you."The light in Lucian's eyes instantly died. "You don't believe me.""It's not that I don't believe you, it's just..."Ring! Ring! Ring!My shrill ringtone interrupted the awkwardness.It was Austin Crawford, the ‘good man’ my father had arranged for me to marry. He was my fiance in name only."Vivian, open the door." His voice on the other end left no room for argument. "I'm downstairs."Before I could refuse, Mark had already opened the
