CHAPTER FOUR
publish date:
2026-04-21 18:53:30It was a calm and quiet afternoon. Lina’s door banged open again.
“What do they want this time?” she murmured under her breath. “Stand up,” the guard said. His voice was firm, but not harsh this time. Lina stood slowly, her body already tense with expectation. She had learned enough to recognize patterns. Something was about to happen. He led her out, but instead of taking her to the usual area, he brought her to a different section of the camp. The room she entered surprised her. It was not a cell. It looked more like a small hostel. There were only three rooms, clean compared to where she had been kept. The air felt lighter, less suffocating. “Go in. Prepare,” the guard said. Lina hesitated for a brief moment before stepping inside. She already understood. She was being prepared to be sold. The room was simple but organized. A bed stood neatly at one side. A chair and table were placed near it. On the table was a small plate with freshly made cake and a glass of milk. A lamp stood beside it, casting a soft light across the room. Her eyes moved to the cupboard. Inside was a fresh dress. She stood still for a moment, taking it all in. This was not kindness— This was a presentation. She moved slowly. She had her bath, the water washing away the dirt and sweat that had clung to her for days. She washed her hair carefully, her fingers moving through it as if trying to hold onto something familiar. When she finished, she wore the dress. It fits well. Too well. She ate quietly, though her appetite was weak. Each bite felt forced, but she knew she needed strength. Then she sat. And waited. Her thoughts began to race. She did not know who these people were. She did not know where they were taking her or what they intended to do with her. The uncertainty made her heart beat. A quiet sob escaped her before she could stop it. She quickly covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking slightly as she fought to regain control. She did not want this life. She missed her old life. Normalcy. Safety. Trust she once had. Her breathing became uneven as she forced herself to calm down. Slowly, exhaustion crept in. Her eyes grew heavy, her body weakening from everything she had endured. Just as she began to drift, a knock came. She straightened immediately, wiping her face quickly. The guard opened the door. “Come. Don't waste anymore time. Your new owner would be waiting.” Her heart dropped. She stood and followed. Outside, she saw the car. It was a black Range Rover Sentinel, heavily reinforced, with fully tinted windows that revealed nothing from the inside. The body was sleek but powerful, built for both luxury and protection. As she approached, the door opened from inside. A man sat there, calm and composed. “Hop in,” he said quietly. His voice was smooth, controlled, almost reassuring in a way that felt unnatural. Lina stepped in. Inside were three men. The driver was focused, his hands steady on the wheel. He was tall, broad-shouldered, with a scar running slightly along his jaw. He did not speak or turn to look at her. The man beside him adjusted his wristwatch repeatedly, a small habit that suggested impatience. His eyes moved often, scanning everything. The one beside Lina sat relaxed, his posture easy, but his presence firm. He spoke less, but when he did, his tone carried quiet authority. They were all well-built. Calm. Controlled. Too calm. The journey started slowly. The road was smooth at first, stretching ahead with little interruption. The car moved steadily, the engine low and controlled. Occasionally, the men spoke in short sentences. Nothing too revealing. Just enough to show familiarity. As they moved further, the road changed. It became rougher, narrower, surrounded by thick trees. The driver increased speed. Lina felt it immediately. Her body stiffened slightly, her hands pressing gently against the seat as the motion became more intense. The men remained calm. This was normal to them. But not to her. The speed increased again. The car moved faster now, the turns sharper, the path more dangerous. It now felt like a race. Lina was uncomfortable, she could feel her heart coming out of her chest— Then it happened. A truck appeared suddenly from the opposite direction, drifting g slightly out of control. The driver reacted quickly, turning the wheel sharply. But it was too late. The collision was violent. The impact crushed the front of the car, metal folding inward with a loud, tearing sound. The force threw Lina forward, her body slamming hard against the seat. The car spun out of control, skidding off the road before flipping. Once. Twice. Thrice. The world blurred violently. Voices raised high. Glass shattered. Metal twisted. Then everything stopped. Silence. Heavy. Still. Lina’s chest rose sharply as she struggled to breathe. Pain spread through her body, but she was alive. The men were not moving. Blood. Stillness. No sound. The only thing that came to Lina’s mind was to run! But where?

Lina returned to her quarters, her steps quieter than usual. The corridor felt longer than it had ever felt before, as though the walls themselves were pressing in with silent judgment. Her chest remained tight, her thoughts unsettled from everything that had just unfolded.The bond still lingered inside her, not as something she understood, but something she could feel. It was like a thread she could not see but could not ignore. Every breath seemed different, as though her body had begun responding to something beyond her control.When she stepped inside, Elena was already there waiting.She looked at Lina with concern that did not need explanation. Her posture softened, as if preparing herself for what she already sensed had happened without needing details spoken aloud.You saw him, Elena said quietly.Lina nodded once, closing the door behind her. Her movements were slow, almost careful, as though too much force might make her though
The Alpha's Greatest Mistake CHAPTER TWENTY
The corridor outside Alpha Kael’s private chamber felt colder than Lina remembered. Not from temperature alone, but from silence that pressed against her skin as she followed Elena’s instruction to come alone. Each step felt heavier than the last.The scent changed as she approached the door. It was Alpha Kael’s deep, warm, layered with something she could not name. It did not feel threatening, but it unsettled her in a way she did not understand, pulling at something inside her.Behind the door, Alpha Kael stood alone.He did not turn immediately when she entered. His back was straight, shoulders tense beneath controlled stillness. The room was minimal, shaped by authority and comfort, as though everything unnecessary had already been removed from it.Lina stopped a few steps inside, unsure if she should move further. Her fingers rest firmly at her sides. She could feel her heartbeat again, uncertain, as though her body was reacting before her th
The Alpha's Greatest Mistake CHAPTER FIFTEEN
The training ground felt different that morning.Not in its structure, nothing had changed physically, but in its atmosphere. The air carried less patience than before, as though even the space itself had grown tired of hesitation. The beginner group stood in formation, waiting, each of them aware that today was not like the days before.Lina noticed it immediately.No one had spoken a word yet, but the silence already carried expectation. It pressed lightly against her thoughts, not enough to overwhelm her, but enough to make her more aware of every breath she took.Elena stood at the side of the field, watching without interfering. Her presence was steady, but her eyes were more focused than usual. She wasn’t correcting today. She was observing.That alone told Lina enough. Something had changed in how they were being seen. The drills began without delay, faster, stricter and less explanatory than usual.“Again,” Seraphina call
The Alpha's Greatest Mistake CHAPTER NINETEEN
The moment stretched longer than it should have. Alpha Kael stood a few steps away from Lina, his body tense, his chest rising and falling in a rhythm that no longer felt entirely his own. The air between them felt charged, thick and pressing, as though something unseen had settled into the space and refused to leave.His claws had partially extended, not fully, but enough to reveal the strain beneath his control. His jaw tightened, teeth pressing together as he fought to steady himself, even as something deeper continued to rise.Is this her? The voice came from within. Certain and present. His wolf.Our mate… There was curiosity as well as interest in it. A quiet kind of excitement that did not match the control Alpha Kael had spent years building.His gaze remained fixed on Lina. She looked nothing like what he would have chosen. Fragile, untrained, human, and yet she smells different. His wolf inhaled through him, deeper this time,
The Alpha's Greatest Mistake CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Drums echoed across the clearing, deep and rhythmic, their sound vibrating through the ground beneath Lina’s feet. Wolves gathered in large numbers, voices rising in excitement, laughter mixing with anticipation as the ceremony unfolded like something both festive and sacred.This was not just evaluation, it was celebration. Lina stood among the beginner group, her fingers wrapped around her staff, her eyes moving across the crowd. For once, the pack didn’t feel cold or distant. It felt connected, united by something deeper than strength. Something she still stood outside of.At the center of the field, the raised platform stood firm, marked with ancient carvings that had survived time and generations. This was where ranks changed, where wolves proved themselves, where identity became something real. Where she feared she would be exposed.The drums grew louder.Boom.Boom.Boom.Each beat settled into her chest, steady
The Alpha's Greatest Mistake CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
The pack grounds grew quieter as night settled in, but it was not the kind of quiet that brought peace, it was controlled silence. The kind that existed because everyone knew something was coming.Lina noticed it as she walked back from the training field with Elena. No one lingered in groups the way they usually did. Conversations were shorter. Movements more deliberate. Even the usual distant sounds of training drills had faded earlier than expected.It felt like the entire pack was conserving attention, energy and expectation. Lina didn’t ask questions. She already knew the answer would circle back to the same thing.Tomorrow's evaluation. Her fingers curled around the strap of her training gear as they walked. Not enough to hurt, but enough to anchor her consciousness in something physical.Elena stayed beside her, silent for a while, before speaking. You should eat something properly tonight as you would need enough strength for tomorrow, she
The Alpha's Greatest Mistake CHAPTER TEN
The patrol began before the sun fully settled into the sky, when the forest still held the cool weight of morning and the air carried a quiet clarity that made every movement easier to track. It was not rushed or announced, just routine.This was not unusual.Boundary checks wer
The Alpha's Greatest Mistake CHAPTER NINE
The road leading to the Pack House curved gently through the center of the territory, wide and carefully maintained, as though every part of it carried importance. The ground beneath Lina’s feet was smooth stone, clean enough to reflect faint light where the sun touched it through the trees.
The Alpha's Greatest Mistake CHAPTER EIGHT
The howls did not stop.They stretched through the air, sharp and controlled, echoing across the clearing in a way that made Lina’s skin rise. It was not chaos. It was communication.Lina stood by the window, her fingers gripping the wooden frame as she tried to make sense of wh
The Alpha's Greatest Mistake CHAPTER SEVEN
Lina woke again, but this time the heaviness in her body no longer held her down the way it had before. It lingered only as residue, like pain that had already happened rather than something actively happening to her. Her breathing steadied slowly as awareness returned without resistance pulling
