That shuts me up instantly.

My hand moves before I can stop it, my fingers brushing against the cold metal collar at my throat—a sharp, unforgiving reminder of everything I’ve lost… and everything that’s been taken from me.

My jaw tightens, but I say nothing as the truth settles in, whether I like it or not.

Because she’s right.

And I hate it.

“Don’t worry,” Nora adds quickly, her tone softening slightly—she must have noticed the shift in my expression—though the urgency never leaves her voice.

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    Where Is Nora?

    I wake with a sharp inhale, like I’ve been dropped back into my body instead of gently returning to it, and for a second, everything feels… lighter.My eyes flutter open slowly, blinking against the pale morning light spilling through the curtains. There’s a strange, unfamiliar spark sitting in my chest—motivation. Determination.It burns even though—even though the emptiness is still there.My hand drifts to my chest, fingers pressing lightly as if I can feel the absence of my wolf, my strength, that constant hum of power that used to live under my skin. My lips part slightly, a faint, broken exhale slipping out.Goddess, I feel weak.Not just physically—though that’s there too—but something deeper. Something hollow that no amount of rest seems to touch.But then I picture Keal’s face—how I’ll end his pathetic life—and just like that, adrenaline rushes through me, hot and fast, chasing away the heaviness.I push myself up on the bed, ignoring the slight ache in my limbs. I roll my sh

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    Betrayal in the Bloodline

    Her eyes widen at that.“And if you’d seen how Kei struggled during the attack,” I continue, glancing up at her, “you’d understand why this doesn’t add up. He was fighting fewer than twenty men—and losing ground. Covered in blood. Weak.”Nora immediately shakes her head. “That’s not possible. I’ve seen the Alpha fight. He’s not just strong—he’s terrifying. Fast. Ruthless.”“Exactly,” I reply. “There are stories of him defeating warriors ten times his size. And let’s not forget—when he was barely more than a boy, he challenged and surpassed his own father, who was Alpha, before most could even control their wolf.”I pause, letting the contrast sink in.“He should have wiped them out without breaking a sweat. Instead, he struggled. Meanwhile, his Beta—his own brother, and of a lower rank—arrived and eliminated them effortlessly.”That silences her, because now she sees it too. Something is wrong.My fingers tighten slightly against my knees.“The herb I gave you.”Her eyes snap to mine.

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    A Mate Meant to Be Rejected

    That—That breaks something.Nora lets out a sharp, frustrated sound—almost a scream—the echo bouncing off the narrow walls. She drags both hands through her hair and paces once, like she’s trying to outrun her own thoughts.“Fuck,” she breathes, her voice rough, stripped down to exhaustion and truth. “I know, okay? I know you’re right.”She stops and looks at me—really looks this time.“I just… didn’t want to admit it.”She rakes a finger through her hair as the weight finally settles. “I know I have to accept it sooner or later. I’ve been avoiding it because… saying it out loud makes it real. But I think…” She pauses, taking a shaky breath. “I think it’s finally time.”Another breath.“Time to let him go… for good.”I stay silent, letting her reach that conclusion on her own.“I’ll accept it,” she says at last, her voice softer, though still unsteady. “The next time I see him, I’ll accept the rejection.”Then she huffs out a weak laugh, trying—and failing—to lighten the moment.“I

    “I can walk on my own.”My voice comes out sharper than I intend as I tug my wrist free from Nora’s grip the moment we’re far enough from the open grounds, back in the narrow, hidden passage that leads toward the old house. The walls close in around us again, swallowing the distant noise of chaos, leaving behind only our footsteps and the tension still clinging to my skin.“You know you don’t have to obey every word he says, right?” I add, flexing my fingers where her grip had been, the faint imprint still lingering.My neck aches too—a dull, throbbing reminder of Keal’s hand wrapped around my throat earlier.Funny.For people who are supposedly fated mates, they really do have something in common—gripping others like they’re trying to leave permanent marks. Maybe that’s what the Moon Goddess saw in them.I almost scoff at the thought.Nora stops so abruptly I nearly walk into her. She spins on me with a hiss, her eyes blazing in a way I’ve never seen before. It startles me. Not soft,

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    The Beginning of a Dangerous Game

    “Am I interrupting something?”The voice cuts cleanly through the tension—soft, but sharp enough to split the moment open—and I recognise it instantly.Nora.There’s something in her tone. Not just interruption, surprise, confusion, or curiosity.Something tighter. Rawer.Hurt.My pulse spikes—not from fear, not from Keal’s hand still locked around my throat—but from that tone alone.“Ravelle.”My name leaves her mouth softer this time, but there’s something sharp beneath it—something ugly that almost sounds like jealousy.Of course.From where she’s standing, this must look like something else entirely. Not a fight—but something intimate. Like I’m pressed against him willingly, and this is some twisted moment between mates or lovers.The irony almost makes me laugh.If only she knew I was seconds away from driving a blade straight through his chest.I say nothing, not because I choose to but because I can’t.My throat is still trapped in his grip, my voice caught somewhere between de

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    The Brother in the Shadow

    “In fact,” he continues, his voice lowering until it brushes against my ear, “it almost seems like I ruined something for you.”My eyes narrow slightly.“What was it?” he murmurs darkly. “Your little moment?”My grip tightens around the knife, the leather biting into my palm as I slowly roll my wrist, easing the tension just enough to stay in control.“The part where you get your key… remove that collar… free yourself.” His gaze drifts to my neck, lingering on the cursed necklace before lifting back to my face.And when it does—there’s something in his eyes. Ugly.Possessive.It makes my skin crawl.“…and pretend you’re not just a chained dog in front of everyone?”The words land. Not because they hurt—but because of where we are.And who’s watching.I feel it immediately, the shift in the crowd. Subtle, but there. A ripple of discomfort. A few people shift. Some glance at each other, then back at me, uncertain.The insult hangs in the air, cruel and deliberate. But I don’t give him w

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    Between a Mate and a Mother

    My mother.It’s been a while since I’ve seen her. Too long, but if there’s anywhere this key will be untouchable—It’s with her.Her residence sits apart from the main pack dwellings, hidden deeper within the inner territory—far from unnecessary eyes and even farther from unwanted hands. A fortified

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    When the Bond Becomes a Weakness

    I walk quickly, my movements sharp and aggressive, impatience driving every step to head back to my house. At the very least, I need a cold shower to calm myself and to wash away Ravelle’s touch, the imprint of her hands still lingering all over my body and driving me insane.But as I pass my broth

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    What Lurks Beneath the Bond

    My blood runs cold. Did Keal just say Kei wouldn’t be able to feel me if he drank that herb?That’s when it clicks.I remember the hill—the small weird bottle Kei pulled out and drank from. Afterward, something changed. His eyes… they weren’t their usual warm green or the golden glow of his wolf. T

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    Seduction Gone Wrong

    I’m on my feet in an instant, my heart nearly stopping as I glance around, searching for an escape—but there’s no time. I drop low and slide under the desk just as the handle turns and the door opens.Footsteps.No.No, no, no—Right now, I can’t smell. I can’t sense anything. All I have is sound…
