Lucien's POV

The second phase of the festival was supposed to be where I swept my bride away and mated her.

But I had no bride.

And the person I wanted to mate had disappeared.

I scanned the crowd for what had to be the hundredth time and there was still no sign of Five.

She hadn't fulfilled her promise to visit me last night.

A part of me worried that I'd shown her too much, that I'd let her see just a fraction of what I felt for her. And she had run from it.

But another part — the more logica

    Lucien's POVThe second phase of the festival was supposed to be where I swept my bride away and mated her.But I had no bride.And the person I wanted to mate had disappeared.I scanned the crowd for what had to be the hundredth time and there was still no sign of Five.She hadn't fulfilled her promise to visit me last night.A part of me worried that I'd shown her too much, that I'd let her see just a fraction of what I felt for her. And she had run from it.But another part — the more logical part — worried for her safety.Especially with the presence of the facility officials.I had clocked Fenn the moment he arrived, had tracked his position through the evening with my peripheral vision. He hadn't approached me.He wouldn't. Not here. Not publicly.But he had watched.And somewhere between last night and tonight, Five had stopped being visible in the room. My wolf was restless, pacing, chanting her name. It took considerable effort not to show how badly her absence affected me

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 181: but you won’t

    Five's POVThe night ended and to my greatest shame and relief, Lucien hadn't selected any of the eligible women.I hid a satisfied smile as I put the last of the tray away in the kitchen.The wetness was still evident between my legs.I was almost certain the wolves around me could smell it.I kept my expression neutral, my pace unhurried and my face pointing away from anyone who might read what was on it.‘Later,’ he had said.The word had been sitting in my chest since the corridor like an ember that hadn't decided yet whether to go out or catch.The kitchen was emptying — the festival winding down, the staff dispersing, the citadel settling back into itself after the evening's brightness. I waited until the last kitchen girl disappeared through the far door and then I set down my cloth and walked out.The corridor toward the King's wing was quieter than usual.Most of the guests were still in the main hall or dispersing to their assigned quarters. The guards were managing the flo

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 180: sweet, desperate, mine

    Five’s POV His mouth claimed mine before I could form another protest, and the corridor tilted. The kiss was not careful, it was not the measured thing he usually offered when he was still deciding whether he wanted to ruin me slowly or all at once. This was hunger, pure and unfiltered, three days of absence poured into the press of his lips and the way his tongue slid against mine like he had every right to taste me. My tray was somehow gone—set aside or dropped, I didn’t care—and both of my hands found the front of his formal jacket, clinging as if the wall at my back might not be enough to keep me upright. The music from the hall throbbed through the stone. I could hear voices, laughter. The shuffle of dancers. All of it so close that a single raised voice would bring someone running. “Lucien—” I managed against his mouth, the warning thin and useless. “I know,” he breathed, and then his hand was under the skirt of my dress. Cool air kissed the bare skin of my

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 179: admit it

    Five's POV Lucien grabbed my arm, pulling me into the side corridor off the main hall. The music faded behind us, the festival continuing on the other side of the wall without us. He turned the moment we were alone. I looked at my tray, avoiding his gaze. "That was an accident," I lied. Silence. "The angle of the tray was—" "Five." I looked up. His expression was hard, the fury still evident. “I’m so fucking tired of you putting yourself on death row,” he hissed. "It was an accident," I insisted, the conviction lacking in my voice. I swallowed, my heart thrumming in my chest. "Was it?” he whispered. "Yes it was,” I snapped. “Why are you so upset? Did you want to dance with her so bad?!” My chest heaved up and down as I glared at him. Fuck. I didn’t know why I was reacting this way. I shouldn’t care what he did or who he danced with. I shouldn’t. But I did. Because he was mine. He looked at me, his expression shifting from fury to something else. Somethi

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 178: my apologies

    Five's POV The festival had two phases. The first phase was where the King and his Queen blessed unions but since there was no Queen, and no betrothed, this year's festival was going to be different. My jaw clenched. This year, there was going to be a parade for the King to pick a new betrothed. It was the part the Kingdom anticipated the most. And the part my stupid self hated the fucking most. He was going to pick a queen. A woman he would get to claim publicly, and call the mother of his children. While I remain his slave and breeder. I blinked rapidly. It began an hour into the festival. I knew it was starting before the announcement because the quality of the room changed. There was a shift in the music, a particular ripple through the assembled wolves. I could sense the attention shift from the food and drinks to the main event. I moved to the edge of the room. Kept my tray. Kept my face neutral. The eligible women entered from the east entrance in a pr

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 177: the dress code

    Five's POV Three whole days had gone by. And not once had I encountered Lucien. He hadn't summoned me, and I hadn't bothered going to him either. Not when the humiliation of what I had said still burned. 'Your face is annoying. You're too — attractive. It's inconvenient.' I pressed my eyes shut briefly. Then opened them and kept scrubbing. The water in the basin was cooling but I didn't mind. The cold was clarifying. I needed clarifying. Tonight was the Festival of Fertility. Tonight the citadel would be full of wolves from every territory, lords and their families, the eligible women Seven had warned me about, the blessing ceremony at the head of a hall I had spent three days helping to prepare. Tonight the facility officials would be present. That was the relevant fact. That was what I needed to be thinking about. Not empty chairs. Not three days of not being summoned and not summoning myself. I stepped out of the basin and dried off carefully. Then I stood in front

    549’s POV The buzz of my alarm clock brought me back to life. It was 6:45am on the third moon day. Which meant— My room door burst open, and a familiar head of brown hair walked in. My reaction was instant, almost instinctive. I wrapped my arms around my body, trying—but failing to cover my br

    549’s POVI curled up in my bed, my head heavy, my throat sore from crying. The higher ups would punish me for not looking after myself. But I couldn’t bring myself to care. Not when everything was crumbling around me, not when my fate had been sealed. I hated it, hated the breeding facility, th

    549’s POV"You’ll never return to us." Twelve’s words echoed in my head. The dread tinged with melancholy made it sound more like a sentencing than a prediction. I stood on the far end of the line, my gaze on the floor, my shoulders squared, chest pushed out—just the way we were taught. My body

    549’s POV “What did they say?” Twelve asked as she twisted the cap of her water bottle. I shrugged, trying to act casual. “I passed.” She froze, then her eyes snapped to mine. I looked away, unable to bear the pity that swirled in those grey orbs. “Oh five forty nine,” she sighed, droppin
