For a second, I genuinely think I heard him wrong. In fact, a part of me wishes I had gone deaf instead of hearing those disgusting words come out of his mouth.

But I know I didn't, and the world around me suddenly feels distant. Like my mind has stopped processing everything except that one sentence.

Yes.

My entire body goes still inside his arms.

Then slowly, very slowly, I pull away from him as though his touch burns my skin. His hands fall away immediately, not because I force them to, but

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    The Taste of Humiliation

    I'd rather die.The thought pounds through my skull as another wave of nausea threatens to rise from my stomach. I swallow it back down with a grimace.I'd rather have my throat ripped open on a battlefield, feel claws tearing through my flesh, have my father drive a silver sword through my heart.AnythingAnything but this.My stomach still twists, a hollow, clenching fist even though there's nothing left inside. My body feels like a brittle shell, exhausted after three straight days of heaving over a toilet until tears streamed down my face. Every muscle aches with a deep, bone-weary sickness that has nothing to do with injury and everything to do with this… this weakness.How do women survive this? How does Ravelle survive this and still have enough strength to glare at me like she wants to set me on fire? I don't understand it. I don't want to understand it.For one brief, pathetic, humiliating moment back there, I'd been willing. I'd accepted she'd get the key, get her wolf back,

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    The Pride That Wouldn't Kneel

    His shoulders slump. He drags both hands through my hair in frustration. "I have to protect Mother. My father..." His voice shakes. "...he's a monster. I know what he's capable of." I nod slowly. "I know." "So undo this." He points angrily between us. "Undo all of this. Give me back my body. I need my alpha wolf to defeat that bastard." I laugh coldly. "You caused this. Not me. The only one who can truly end this..." I tap his chest. "...is you." He glares. "If you're talking about the key..." A smug smile appears. "You'll never find it. You never did. It was hidden too well." I slowly reach into my pocket. Then lift something into the light. A tiny silver key swings gently between my fingers. His smile disappears. "...No." "Oh yes." His eyes go impossibly wide. "How..." His voice cracks. "...did you find it?" I twirl the key lazily. "Your mother." His entire body goes rigid. "...Mother gave it to you?" I nod. "I'll admit... You hid it well. I searched everywhere. Your offic

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    You Are Me Now

    I don't waste another second.The key is clenched so tightly in my hand that its sharp edges dig into my palm, but I barely feel the pain. Every step I take echoes with one thought: I'm getting my body back.The moment I step out of Kei's mother's quarters, I bark at the nearest warrior. "You. Double the security on all perimeters. I want every warrior on high alert, no sleeping on duty. The old alpha is out there, a beast lurking and waiting to strike. He will not catch us unaware again."He straightens instantly, a flicker of fear and respect in his eyes. "Yes, Alpha."Within minutes, I'm walking towards the pack hospital, the cold wind slamming against Kei's face, ruffling his dark hair. It does nothing to cool the fire burning inside me. I can't shift, can't access his wolf. We're not connected, not truly. This body is just a shell, and I am a ghost within it. Still, the long walk gives me time to think, to worry. A knot of unease tightens in my gut. Kei is in my body. Our child

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    It's Finally About to Begin

    A gentle squeeze on my shoulder pulls me from the storm inside my head. When I look up, Kei's mother is crying.Not loudly, not with wails or sobs, just quietly. The kind of tears that come from a heart that's carried guilt for far too long, a silent, steady rain that has worn grooves into her soul. Her entire body trembles beneath the weight of it, a fragile leaf in a wind I can't see."I'm sorry."The words hit me harder than I expect. They land not with force, but with a terrible, crushing weight.She bows her head, her shoulders slumping. "So... so sorry."I blink, my own tears momentarily forgotten. "...For what?""For my son's." Her voice breaks, a fragile thing. "I failed them.""No—""You don't understand." She wipes at her tears with shaking fingers, smearing the moisture across her weathered skin. "I taught both my boys to be kind. To have compassion." Her voice gains a sliver of strength, a memory of conviction. "I taught them never to become their father."Her voice breaks

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    The Key to My Freedom

    For one suspended, terrifying heartbeat, I forget how to breathe.The key.It's right there.So close.Yet the words that leave her mouth feel like a blade pressed against my throat."You are not Kei."My fingers twitch uselessly at my sides."...What?" The word comes out rough, scraped raw. "What are you talking about, Mother?"I force a confused frown onto Kei's face, praying she mistakes the panic pounding through me for disbelief. "I'm your son."I even take a careful step closer, my movements stiff, unnatural. "I'm Kei." I gesture towards my face with an awkward laugh that sounds painfully fake to my own ears. "Can't you see me? It's my face. My body. Look at me. How can I not be?"Her eyes never leave mine. Not once. Nor does her expression soften. If anything... it grows sadder, a profound well of sorrow that seems to swallow the dim light in the room.She slowly shakes her head. "You may have Kei's face." Her eyes travel over me, studying every inch of this body I'd borrowed l

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    You Are Not My Son

    Everything inside me freezes. The air grows thick and heavy, the blood in my veins turning to ice. The frantic thoughts racing through my mind grind to a halt, replaced by a single, screaming question."...What?" The word is a choked gasp, torn from a throat that suddenly feels too tight. "My mate?"She nods. "Yes, her."For a terrifying second, I almost stumble backward, Kei's larger, unfamiliar body betraying a shock that is entirely my own. The room spins. How did we get here? How did a conversation about running for their lives turn to me? To Ravelle? I force a swallow, my throat clicking in the oppressive silence."What... does my mate have to do with Father?"She looks at me, and her confusion is so genuine it's unnerving. Her brow furrows, creating delicate lines of worry. "Have you forgotten already? About our last discussion? What you told me, and what I told you?""And what did you tell me, Mother?" My voice is a stranger's, high and tight."You said your mate wasn't a nor

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    The Night I Kissed a Monster

    I pull out the omega uniform from under my bed—plain brown cloth, shapeless, loose, ugly, and absolutely perfect for hiding the red dress beneath it. No one looks twice at omegas. Not in a palace that employs hundreds.I braid my hair up, tuck it beneath a dull omega scarf, then close my eyes to co

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    The Princess in the Red Dress

    The Lunar Virtue Conclave is unbearable even before the gossip begins—or the class itself.The hall hums the way it always does: too many voices layered on top of one another, laughter sharpened with envy, silk skirts whispering across polished stone floors.I sit near the back, posture perfect, ex

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    The Day I Made a Man Crawl

    Revulsion claws up my throat the moment I see him.Of all the men in this cursed kingdom, he is the one who walks like the world should kneel simply because he was born male. Always lingering too close, always wearing that smirk I’ve been tempted far too many times to wipe clean off his face. He ac

  • The Alpha King is a Woman    Not the Son They Wanted

    The throne room smells like power and old lies.Stone walls rise high and cold, carved with victories that were never won by women. The air hums with deep male voices—officials, elders, and war strategists—gathered for the morning assembly. My father sits on the obsidian throne at the far end, crow
