Five’s POV

I laid wide awake.

The space between my legs still wet and aching.

Still desperate for touch. His touch.

I turned, my eyes settling on Seven’s back. And that was all the reminder I needed to jolt me out of my lust-filled state.

The King was dangerous.

I shouldn’t be thinking of him, shouldn’t be craving him.

I sat up, too restless to sleep.

My limbs protested as I stood, but lying awake and thinking of a vile King was not going to yield anything useful.

So I cast one last gla

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 42: the library

    Five’s POVMy first instinct was to run. To go back to my room and hope he didn’t catch my scent.But I forced myself to exhale. Focusing instead on that presence that pressed against me. He hadn’t moved again. No approaching footsteps, no sense of him becoming more alert. I stood motionless for another long moment, then carefully, carefully, I set the history book back on the shelf and—for some insane reason—moved toward the sound.I told myself it was strategic. That I needed to know where he was in order to avoid him. To avoid Seven—or Elijah getting hurt because of me. I moved around the curve of shelves on silent feet, my hand trailing the wood lightly for orientation.Then I stopped.He was in the alcove at the library’s far end—a reading chair angled toward a low table, a single lamp burning low beside it. Papers spread across the table’s surface, some weighted down with a book, others loose and slightly curled at the edges.He was asleep.Slumped in the chair with his head

    Five’s POVI laid wide awake. The space between my legs still wet and aching. Still desperate for touch. His touch. I turned, my eyes settling on Seven’s back. And that was all the reminder I needed to jolt me out of my lust-filled state. The King was dangerous. I shouldn’t be thinking of him, shouldn’t be craving him. I sat up, too restless to sleep. My limbs protested as I stood, but lying awake and thinking of a vile King was not going to yield anything useful. So I cast one last glance at Seven then stepped out of the room, my steps light against the floor. Streaks of moonlight escaped through the large windows, offering me a source of light. The king had warned me not to go through his books. But he never said anything about books in general. So I snuck to the place I had been scouting during the long hours of cleaning. The library. I twisted the knob, sending a silent prayer to the moon goddess. It gave. A small—victorious—smile touched my lips. The library was i

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 40: you want attention?

    Five's POVI stepped back into the room. Without knocking. The King was still hunched over the documents he was reading. From what I'd managed to gather, he was studying the prophecy. "You're back," he said without looking up from his desk. I balled my fists, that familiar anger and frustration rising in my chest. The way he treated me, gave orders without acknowledging my presence, like I was nothing. I walked past, my steps light, my head lifted as I went straight to the shelf, where I had forgotten my cleaning cloth. I reached for it, my finger tips brushing the surface, when I felt a gust of wind. I didn't get the chance to react, before I was spun around by strong hands, my back hitting the shelf was a small gasp. The King stood before me, towering over me. "What're you," he started, his voice rough, "deaf now?" My breath caught in my throat. He was so close, close enough that I could smell the mint in his breath, could catch his strong, male scent. It traveled down

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 39: clean it again

    Lucien's POVThe moon's disappearance had no recorded precedent.I had spent the better part of three days confirming that—cross-referencing the citadel's archive against the Priestess's historical records, against the oldest territorial texts I had access to, against everything the kingdom had documented about lunar phenomena since the war ended.Nothing.Not a single account. Not a myth, not a cautionary tale, not even a rumor passed down through pack oral tradition that described a full moon simply ceasing mid-cycle.Which meant either it had never happened before.Or the records of the last time it happened had been removed.I leaned back in my chair, the report in front of me blurring slightly at the edges.The prophecy sat at the corner of my desk, transcribed in my own hand from the altar stone.‘What was taken will return. What was buried will rise. The blood of the first will walk among the wolves again, and the world will not survive it unchanged.’Destruction.The memory of

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 38: same spot tonight.

    Five's POV"You know, I took you for more." I didn't look up from the weed I was uprooting. Instead, my movement became sharper. I was outside gardening. And Elijah had ambushed me. Again. "I've met facility girls," he continued, his voice low yet carrying, "lots of them actually. And I thought I saw something different in you.""Well," I started, tugging at the stubborn weed, "you saw wrong."He crouched down beside me uninvited, his elbows on his knees."I don't think I did," he said.I yanked the weed free with more force than necessary and tossed it aside."Elijah—""The King never picks a breeder," he cut in, leaning in slightly, "yet he picked you. So don't give me that, Five."I said nothing. Because the King didn't pick me for being special. He picked me because in his eyes, I was his—his property. I was here to be bred and to obey mindlessly, or the people around me suffer. Why didn't he understand that?The garden was quiet around us, just soil and pale light and the

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 37: same spot

    Five’s POV I didn’t go to Elijah that night. I couldn’t risk getting closer to him, because getting closer to me meant more chances of him getting hurt. And I couldn’t allow it. Not after Seven. So I stayed in that night, staring at Seven’s back as she pretended to sleep, the guilt still gnawing at me. And the weight of the King’s words pressing on me. “I’m sorry,” I whispered into the dark. She didn’t respond, but she heard me. I could tell by the way her silhouette stiffened in the dark. *** Morning came grey and quiet. Seven was already gone by the time I woke—her bed made with that careful precision she used for everything. I lay there for a moment looking at it, then got up and started my duties. I moved through the citadel with my head down and my eyes forward, the way I had learned to in my first days here and had since largely abandoned. It felt strange to do it again. Like putting on clothes that no longer fit right. I laughed bitterly to myself. How cou

    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
