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 was clad in a thin body hugging dress, the white material barely concealing my naked body underneath.

My blonde hair descended down my shoulders in waves, reaching just above my butt.

This was it. My first auctioning.

The door pushed open—

And the air shifted.

A presence filled the quiet room, something dark contrasting against the brightness of the room.

The air itself became thicker, harder to breathe.

The Alpha had arrived.

My pulse quickened, every nerve in my body reacting in a way I didn’t understand.

“These are the newly passed candidates, My King.”

My king?!

No.

No.

I shut my eyes, praying to the moon goddess that I was hearing things.

That I wasn’t standing in the presence of the King.

If he answered, I didn’t hear him.

Instead, I heard footsteps.

I had braced myself for this moment, practiced alone in my room. But in that moment, everything disappeared. My limbs felt like paper, my insides growing hot.

The closer he got, the faster my heart raced.

Please goddess, don’t let him reach the end. Please don’t let him pick me.

I balled my fists, trying to stop the tremble. I can’t be picked. I don’t want to be picked.

A strong pressure pressed in on me, so dark and heavy, it made goosebumps rise on my skin.

I caught the intoxicating scent of pine and amber, making my skin tingle.

The closer he got, the stronger the pressure became.

He took his sweet time, the sound of his shoes against the polished marble echoing louder, and louder.

Closer, and closer.

My heart threatened to explode. My knees threatened to give out.

And my breathing ceased.

Finally, a pair of dark men shoes came into view.

I shut my eyes, and opened them.

This was it.

Please walk past, please walk past, please—

The shoes disappeared from view.

My eyes stung, and I finally let go of the breath I was holding. He walked past, he didn’t—

“Everyone, get out.”

A smile curved on my lips, and I turned to leave with the others, a spring in my steps.

Till his dark, rich voice spoke again, shattering my very soul.

“Not you, smiley.”

Smiley.

Before I could think twice, a strong hand wrapped around my wrist, pulling me back harshly till I was flushed against a hard chest.

My heart sank to the bottomless pit of my stomach. The tears of relief bled into helplessness and pain.

“Look at me,” he commanded, his voice cold.

I didn’t.

I couldn’t.

My body wouldn’t move, wouldn’t obey me.

He pressed two fingers underneath my chin, and tilted my head up till I locked gaze with a pair of stormy grey eyes.

In that instant, something sizzled between us, something sharp that made the hairs on the back of neck stand.

My breathing stopped completely, and I was sucked in till the world melted away and it was just the two of us.

For the first time, I noticed the electricity his touch ignited, the pure fire beneath my skin.

His grey eyes bled into a shade I couldn’t recognize, those beautiful orbs swirling with something ugly.

Hate.

He pushed me away like I burned him.

I stumbled back, whatever trance I was in shattering at my feet.

“No fucking way!” He roared, his eyes blazing with unrestrained fury.

“No fucking way a human is my mate.”

MATE.

The tears had started flowing by now. A choked sound escaped my throat.

“What is this?” He hissed, “a cruel joke?”

I’d like to know too!

I’d like to know why the goddess had been cruel enough to pair me with a wolf! To pair me with—

“I—I,” my voice trembled.

His gaze shot to mine, and I almost lost my train of thoughts, almost lost my courage.

But I needed to do this. It was the only way, it was a long shot but I had to try.

“I reject you.” I said through clenched teeth.

Silence stretched between us.

He stood unmoving, his grey eyes somehow growing darker, his face twisting into something animalistic and his aura—

It choked me.

Yet, I didn’t waver.

My heart pounded against my ribcage, sweat rolled down my back, yet I didn’t falter.

His eyes—slowly—drifted down my body, down my barely concealed chest, down my tight stomach, stopping briefly at my core and—

Sniffing.

Before his eyes snapped back to me.

This time, something swirled in those eyes. A primal desire that made me shudder.

He closed the space between us in one long stride.

“I don’t want you,” he declared darkly, his body towering over my trembling form. “But make no mistake,” he leaned in, till I could smell the mint on his breath, could see the white rings in his eyes.

“You don’t get to reject me.”

His gaze traveled to my lips, and for a moment I thought he would do it, for a crazy—reckless— moment I wondered what it’ll feel like if he did.

He straightened, his expression going blank.

I knew what was coming next, braced myself for it.

“You’ve been picked.”

Bike rose up to my throat, and this time, I couldn’t force myself to stay upright.

I crumbled to the ground.

“I’ll come back for you.”

He turned, and walked out the door, leaving me a broken mess on the floor.

And just like that, my fate was sealed.

I’ve been picked.

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 135: it’s a rebellion

    Five's POV I was back in the corridor outside my room when I heard the footsteps. It wasn't Seven's. I'd been around Seven long enough to recognize her weight and rhythm. I turned. It was Fifty. She stopped in front of me. "You're walking," she chided. "The pain is gone," I shrugged. Something moved across her face. Surprise, quickly absorbed. "Good," she nodded. A pause. "I know what I want," she said finally. The words were quiet and direct. I waited. She looked at the corridor wall briefly—gathering herself—then back at me. "I had a sister," her voice was low. The air changed. "Her name was Sixty-seven," she continued. "She was two years older than me. She was—" She paused briefly. Something moved through her expression and this time, she didn't bother to suppress it. "She was the kind of person who said what she thought." I kept still. "She told a girl in her unit that she didn't want to be bred," Fifty continued. "Not in those words exa

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 134: she’s the one

    Five's POV I woke up and the pain was gone. It wasn't reduced. Gone. Replaced by a tenderness that was only present if I moved a certain way. I pressed my hand carefully against my back. There was no way, A human healing at this rate should be impossible. But here I was. The mark, the chair moving, the dead language, and now this. I swallowed, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. This was impossible. If shouldn't be— The wind outside grew stronger, blowing through the curtains with a force that almost seemed personal. I rose to close the windows. But as I moved, the bed I'd been laying on shifted. The sound of wood scraping echoing in the room. I swallowed again. It was stronger. My powers were much stronger ever since I'd fucked the King. I thought of what I had told him that day. 'Your touch. It eases the pain.' He'd said it was the matebond. But what if it was more? I abandoned the window, rushing to get dressed instead. The guard o

    Lucien's POV I told myself I was walking to the administrative wing. That was where I was going. There were documents to review, the formal betrothal dissolution required signatures, Theron had prepared the territorial notifications for the western lord that needed to go out before midday. I had a list. The list did not include the east wing. I turned toward the east wing. My wolf offered no comment, which was its own kind of comment — a satisfied silence because he had been waiting for me to stop arguing with the obvious and had finally gotten what he wanted. I told him to be quiet. He remained quietly satisfied. The east wing corridor was calm at this hour — the morning duties already underway, staff moving through their routines. The guards on Five's corridor had been doubled since yesterday, covertly, positioned where they looked like general security rather than a specific protection detail. They straightened slightly when they saw me. I moved past them without ackno

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 132: disrupt everything

    Lucien’s POV It still wasn’t fear. This Rebecca — was not, whatever else she was, someone who defaulted to fear. But it was something adjacent to it. Calculation. "This proves I authorized a transfer," she stated carefully. "Not an attempt—" "The transfer authorization is what brought him here," I cut in. "What he did once he arrived is a consequence of that authorization. The distinction you're reaching for doesn't exist." I let that land. "I just said that to someone else." Her jaw tightened. "Rebecca." She looked at me. "Your father's territories border the outer districts the facility draws from," I explained. "His administration has been facilitating the acquisition of packless wolves for fifteen years." I kept my voice even. "I am giving you this conversation before I give it to your father. I am telling you what I have and giving you the opportunity to understand the position you are in before it becomes public." I paused. "This is a courtesy. It is the

    Lucien's POV The council chamber looked different before dawn. Most people never saw it this way—the long table empty, the lords' chairs vacant, the high windows letting in the particular grey light that preceded sunrise and made everything look both more and less than it was. I had always found it clarifying. I stood at the head of the table and waited. Theron had given me the final piece. A ledger page. Elder Crane's signature, written in his own hand, authorizing facility personnel transfers under a sub-classification that didn't exist in any official documentation — created specifically to move trained operatives through legitimate channels without triggering the administrative flags that would have brought it to my attention. Fifteen years. Elder Crane had been signing those documents for fifteen years. The door opened. Theron entered first, his expression carrying the careful neutrality he applied to proceedings of this nature. Behind him, two guards. Betw

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 130: rest

    Five’s POV "You already knew," I hissed, and the anger that arrived was different from the anger about the note — colder, sharper, directed at something more specific. "How long?" He exhaled slowly. "Theron confirmed it before I left for the altar," he answered, dragging a hand throygh his face. "Before you left," I repeated, the words registering. "You knew Rebecca had tried to have me killed and you left." "The altar couldn't—" He stopped, as if realizing there was no defending this. The feel of betrayal and anger settled in my chest. He had left me here, left me with her, knowing what she had done, and said nothing to me about it. The room was quiet. I hadn't realized when, but somewhere along the line, I had started trusting him. And he had— My throat worked. "I had guards on your corridor," he defended. "Covertly. I was moving carefully to avoid alerting her that we knew—" "Your guards," I started flatly, "were not in the corridor when she had me brought to the co
