The morning sunlight was sharp and cold when I woke, the room feeling too empty. The silence pressed in like it was waiting for me to break first.
I sat up rubbing the sleep from my eyes, and I noticed a folder sitting on my sleek glass desk by the window. My name was printed on the front in black letters— simple, no flourish, no warmth.
When did they put this here? I opened it.
Inside was a dossier — printed on heavy matte paper, with a thick cover embossed with the same silver wolf crest I’d seen on my robe.
Kareem pack overview
The first page hit me like a punch to the gut:
The Kareem pack is the oldest and most powerful
wolf clan in the region, known for ruthless
discipline and absolute loyalty to the Alpha; they
control vast territory, political influence, and wealth.
They are feared by rival packs and humans alike. Stories of their powers are whispered in the darkest corners— wolves who do not obey vanish without a trace, and the entire cities have fallen under their silent rule.
Alpha Kharo is a force of nature: uncompromising, cold and fiercely protective of the pack’s secrets.
Is all this necessary? Do they have to remind me about how brutal they are?
I swallowed hard. I knew the name from hushed warnings I’d heard growing up — the Kareem pack was the stuff of nightmares for anyone caught in their way.
But did they want to give me the update in my dream? They didn’t even allow me to wake up properly.
I flipped the next page.
There was more.
Bliss Phill — recent arrival, unknown origin.
The subject shows unknown resilience, possible latent power. Mate bond detected with Alpha Kharo.
Subject to being monitored, trained and evaluated for loyalty.
My heart thundered, mate bond. With Alpha Kharo. The cold, distant alpha I’d just met.
I traced my fingers over the word. evaluated for loyalty. That felt more like a threat.
I folded the folder shut and sat back, eyes drifting to the window. Below, I could see the manicured grounds, the wolves moving with precision and purpose— no careless mistakes allowed here.
I remembered Elara’s words from last night: “He’s watching.” It wasn’t just a line or a rule.
This wasn’t just a pack; it was an empire.
And I look more like a pawn now.
The door clicked open, and Sally stepped inside, sharp and focused.
“ You read it." She said flatly, not waiting for me to answer.
“ Good morning”, I greeted.
And she just looked at me.
I nodded slowly. “They’re… terrifying.”
She shrugged like it was obvious.
“You don’t survive by being soft.”
“ Why me?” I asked in a voice barely above a whisper.
Sally’s eyes flickered. “ Because the alpha sees something in you. Something dangerous.”
Dangerous wasn’t exactly comforting.
“ Why not kill me like Liam planned?”
“Did you say Liam? Do you know Liam?” She asked with desperation.
“No”, of course I would say no. I don’t want to talk about anything, Liam. And by the way, how did she know Liam?"
“You’ll be trained to control it, or you’ll die trying.”
I looked out the window; the Kareem pack was a fortress, and I was trapped inside.
But maybe— just maybe— I could learn how to use their powers.
I sat on the edge of the bed , fingers tracing the invisible edges of memory that haunted me—the shock, the pain, the cold embrace of the river that should have claimed me, the scar where Lame had shoved me, where my head hit the unforgiving floor— all of it swirled relentlessly, a dark tide I couldn’t escape.
The memory of that moment was sharp, cold, brutal, and so surreal it still doesn’t feel real.
I thought I was dying.
It happened so fast.
One moment I was standing, arguing, trying to understand why Lame and Liam were working together like some twisted team against me, and the next, I was slammed against the floor, my head cracking hard against the tile. Pain exploded through me, sharp and unforgiving.
I remembered tasting blood—coppery and bitter— as I struggled to keep my eyes open.
When I woke up, I was underwater.
But I didn’t die.
Somehow I didn’t.
That alone was enough to terrify me.
Because if I could survive the river, what else was I capable of?
The betrayal— that was the hardest thing to swallow.
Ria. My own cousin.
She had been my closest family for as long as I could remember. Or so I thought.
When I looked at her now, I saw a stranger— someone ready to toss me out like garbage to get what she wanted.
And Liam, the man I was supposed to marry, wasn't just a liar or cheat.
He was a murderer.
He killed George in cold blood. Or should I say they. He might as well have tried to cover up for Ria.
And he tried to kill me.
And all the while, he smiled that fake smile and whispered sweet lies.
I had given him my trust after a few months.
I let him inside my heart.
I let him inside me, I let him f**ck the hell out of me.
Enjoyed the kisses we shared.

The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 32. The Girl who Cheated Death
RiaThey always picked her.No matter what I tried, Bliss always came first when it came to men. The golden child. The mysterious one. The resurrected one. I had to try all my possible best just to get their attention.The pack couldn’t stop glaring at her like she was a bloody miracle.I watched from my window, the morning sun blaring across the horizon, spilling over the pack’s training like liquid fire.Down below, I could see them moving—soldiers in uniform, one other woman giving commands; Kharo stood arms folded. And in the middle of it all… Bliss.She stood with the quiet self-importance, like the word owed her something. Even in her silence she soaked up every glance, every whisper. I could see in the way Kharo paused a second too long when he looked at her—even now, even after what I’d told him.My jaw tightened. “I told you she was Liam’s. I told you she married that bastard who killed her; what more do you need?”I took a sip of my tea and tried not to crush the porcelain cu
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 31. I said What I Felt At The Moment
BlissSomething had changed. At first, I thought I imagined it. The way Kharo’s eyes flickered away too fast when we crossed paths. How his words—once deliberate, solid, sometimes even warm—had become clipped and cold Like frost edging over glass.I watched him now from across the strategy table, as we were all gathered for an Inner Circle briefing.His gaze didn’t meet mine once. Not even accidentally. He spoke only when he had to, his voice cool and commanding as always, but there was a distance in it that hadn’t been there before.And it hit harder than I wanted to admit. I shifted in my chair, my heart pressing uncomfortably against my ribs. This wasn’t just about pack protocol; this was personal.Days ago we had sat beneath moonlight in the grove, sharing secrets, sharing silence. He’d held my hand like it mattered. Looked at me; I wasn’t a burden. Like I was something… important. But now? I was invincible.And I hated that it stung.“Bliss”, Kharo’s voice cut in suddenly, snapp

Kharo I couldn’t sleep.The moon had dipped behind the clouds, casting the estate in shadow, but inside me everything still burnt too bright. Ria’s words echoed over and over like whispers clawing at my thoughts.“They were married, Kharo.Bliss and Liam.”I kept pacing. From the floor - to- ceiling windows in my office to the farthest wall and back again. The lights were off. It shouldn’t have mattered.Bliss’s past was her own. I wasn’t entitled to it. But Ria’s voice has planted a seed—a cruel one—and now I couldn’t get it out of my head.Had she really married him?Why Liam?And if she had… why hadn’t she told me?I finally stormed out of the room.I needed answers. From her. From Bliss herself. Not filtered through someone else’s bitterness. I didn’t want Ria’s version. I didn’t want to believe that behind Bliss's guarded looks and fierce resilience was just another lie.I found her on the training deck, of all place—Alone in a black sport top and leggings, hair tied up, fists

RiaThe next morning.From the balcony, where I stood, the world looked small and distant—just the way I like it. Far from the chaos I’d left behind, yet close enough to pull the strings.I watched Kharo for a long moment.He stood alone, leaning against the polished railing, the faintest crease of tension threading his brows.“Just looking at his body biult, make me want to have him so fast gosh. His way over Liam’s level. He’s far ahead.” I murmured to myself.He was the kind of man who held everything inside—a quiet storm. My type of man. I knew from the moment I saw him that he was both a weapon and a shield, and I was going to use that.My heels clicked against the floor, a deliberate sound in the silence.He turned slowly like a predator sensing another in his territory.“Kharo,” I called, my voice soft but steady, the words dripping with an invisible poison.His dark eyes met mine, sharp and cautious. “Ria. What’s in your mind at this hour?”I smiled, the kind that didn’t reac
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 28. Just Incase She’s Forgotten
RiaI stood at the edge of the spacious Kareem pack living room, watching them.Bliss and Kharo—like two pieces of a puzzle I’d been trying to shatter. But instead they fit perfectly.It made my stomach twist in ways I hated.I took Liam from her, and now she has a bigger fish. Why is everything always going her way?Jealousy isn’t always a fire that burns out of control. Sometimes, it’s a slow, cold drip of poison that settles under your skin and refuses to leave.That’s what this was.Kharo. The alpha. The king of this pack. The man everyone whispered about. That no one can get.He wasn’t supposed to be anyone’s consolation prize, especially not hers, not Bliss’s.But there they were, standing close, eyes locked in silent conversation, a connection I couldn’t fake or deny. And it felt like a betrayal.I flexed my fingers, reminding myself that was just the beginning.I smoothed my face into the perfect mask—a soft smile, the kind that says I’m harmless, I’m friendly, and I’m family.
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 27. Don’t Let Me Regret It
BlissI wasn’t supposed to be here.Not in this room. Not at this table. Not in this world.But somehow, I’d earned a seat in the Kareem pack’s war room—where the Inner Circles met behind reinforced glass doors and bulletproof walls.A place where wolves spoke in codes, where maps were marked with blood and silence meant trust.And now I was sitting between warriors who could kill me in under ten seconds.No pressure.Kharo stood at the head of the table, arms crossed, back straight, the definition of untouchable. But his eyes flicked to me every few minutes—quiet, unreadable flicks that said everything and nothing.I sat still. Hands folded. Spine straight. Pretending I wasn’t sweating through my shirt.The only female in the room apart from the packs' tech strategist Yara, was Eren, Cala and Aria. Cala was watching me like I was an unexploded bomb on the table.Maybe I was.“This mission is off-book,” Kharo began, his voice low but commanding. “We’ve intercepted comms from the Rogue
