Aria’s POV)

The air in Kaelen’s kingdom felt different. Cleaner. Sharper. Every inhale burned faintly with pine and iron, a reminder that this was no longer Damien’s worn lands but a place carved in strength and discipline. His fortress loomed high above us, a citadel of stone and black steel, guarded by warriors whose golden insignias shimmered under the sun. Wolves moved in patrols with military precision, every step in rhythm.

It was a world ordered, unyielding, merciless.

And into this world, we were delivered—Damien’s people, tired, wounded, clutching their children, their pride heavy on their shoulders like chains.

Kaelen wasted no time.

By midday, he summoned both his warriors and the wolves who had followed us from Damien’s pack into the great square. The open court stretched wide, banners fluttering in the wind, the golden wolf crest of Kaelen’s line casting shadows across the stone. His presence towered over all of us, golden eyes blazing with authority.

So umm the Alpha King treats his Luna as a servant? Did I miss a critical part in this story? The transition into his kingdom to too harsh! He goes from loving protector to indifferent A-hole

  • The Alpha king and the Hunt   Chapter Hundred and Ten: Dark magic

    Damien — POV….The world narrowed to blood.Louis lay on the ground before me, her hands pressed to her throat, crimson spilling through her fingers no matter how hard the healers pushed cloth and magic against the wound. Her skin—ashen. Her lips—losing color by the second.“No,” I snarled. “No, that’s not enough.”The healers worked frantically, hands glowing, chanting under their breath. One of them shook her head, panic cracking her calm.“The cut was too deep—”“Then FIX IT,” I roared.My voice tore through the yard, raw and ugly. Warriors flinched. Elders froze. No one dared pull me back as I dropped to my knees beside Louis, my hands shaking as I hovered over her body.Her eyes fluttered.For one horrifying moment, I thought they were already empty.“You don’t get to leave,” I whispered fiercely. “Not like this.”Her chest stuttered. Breath shallow. Weak.The scent of her blood—sharp, metallic—filled my lungs and made my vision blur. My wolf howled inside me, clawing, raging, te

  • The Alpha king and the Hunt   chapter hundred and nine: Miserya

    Louis — POV…..It was evening already.The sky bled gray instead of gold, clouds hanging low like a warning no one wanted to voice. The eastern ridge should have reported in an hour ago. They didn’t.I stood in the yard, my daughter tucked safely with a healer inside the hall, my hands folded behind my back so no one would see how tightly they trembled.Failure had a smell.And it was drifting closer.The horn finally sounded—ragged, uneven.The patrol limped in.Three warriors injured. One missing. Blood streaked Mireya’s armor like careless paint. Her eyes were bright, fevered, defiant.The pack gathered instinctively, murmurs rising like insects.I stepped forward.“Report,” I said.Mireya didn’t kneel.That alone told me everything.“The eastern ridge is compromised,” she said loudly. “Rogues crossed twice. We lost the trail. One warrior didn’t return.”A ripple of anger moved through the crowd.I held up my hand. Silence strained into place.“You disobeyed formation,” I said flat

  • The Alpha king and the Hunt   Chapter Hundred and Eight: Challenging authority

    Louis — POV….The morning began like any other.Cold mist clung to the trees that ringed my territory, pale silver threads weaving between trunks dark with age. The pack yard was already awake—warriors sharpening blades, omegas hauling water, sentries shifting patrols after the night watch. Life moved forward whether grief followed or not.I stood on the stone platform at the center of the yard, fingers curled around the carved edge, breathing in the familiar scent of my people. Pine. Earth. Wolf.Home.My daughter stirred against my chest, her small weight warm beneath the fur-lined wrap. Baby Aria let out a soft sound, not quite a cry, and I tilted my head, brushing my nose against her dark curls.“You’re safe,” I murmured. “I’ve got you.”The words steadied me as much as they did her.A horn sounded—short, sharp.Court.I straightened slowly, lifting my chin. My shoulders squared not because I felt strong, but because I had learned that appearing unshaken mattered more than being u

  • The Alpha king and the Hunt   Chapter hundred and seven: You need a mate

    Louis’s POV….Present-day,…..Home didn’t feel like home anymore.The pack lands stretched before me as the sun dipped low, bathing the trees and stone dens in gold and amber. Wolves moved about their evening routines—some training, some preparing meals, others settling their pups for the night. Everything looked the same.Yet something inside me had shifted.I stepped through the boundary stones, my boots crunching softly against the earth, my baby strapped securely against my chest. Her warmth grounded me, her tiny breaths a steady reminder that no matter how fractured my heart felt, I could not afford to fall apart.I had rejected Damien.The thought followed me like a shadow I couldn’t outrun.It wasn’t regret—not exactly. It was… weight. Heavy, unrelenting, pressing against my ribs until breathing felt like effort. I’d meant every word I said to him. Meant the rejection. Meant the boundary. Meant the refusal to let fate decide my life again.And still.Still, his face replayed i

  • The Alpha king and the Hunt   REJECTED BY THE FEMALE ALPHA (LOUIS AND DAMIEN'S STORY)

    Louis’s POVThe evening air was calm, almost serene. The fireflies danced above the river, the scent of pine and earth lingering in the cool night. My pack had gathered near the central clearing, finishing the day’s training. Some of the younger ones were laughing, tossing sticks and chasing each other, while my mate sparred with a few warriors, demonstrating new combat maneuvers.I leaned against a tree, watching. my baby slept peacefully in my arms, swaddled in a soft blanket, her tiny chest rising and falling with each breath. The warmth of her skin against mine brought a rare smile to my face. For a few moments, the world felt normal.“This evening is beautiful, isn’t it?” my mate’s voice rumbled from behind me. I turned to see him wiping sweat from his brow, a proud, gentle grin on his face. His presence grounded me.“It is,” I said softly, brushing my fingers through the baby's hair. “It’s… peaceful.”He nodded, his eyes scanning the horizon. “Enjoy it ,” he murmured, half in je
