A tall woman walked in — with sharp cheekbones, jet-black hair slicked into a braid, and eyes that looked like they’d seen a hundred wars but didn’t flinch once. She was dressed in dark tactical wear, not a wrinkle in sight.
“Your room”, she said, “ don’t trash it.”
I blinked. “ I wasn’t planning to.”
She arched her brow like I had just failed a test. “You’ve been granted temporary housing. That’s the only reason you’re not sleeping in a holding cell.”
I looked around again. “This… is temporary?”
“For our standard? This is basic ,” she said, and then she set a silver tray down on the glass-top desk. Food. Don’t make me regret it.”
“What’s your name?” I asked in a voice quieter than I wanted it to be.
She hesitated. “ Sally. I’ll be your handler until Alpha says otherwise.”
“Alpha Kharo?” I said without thinking.”
“Don’t get ideas,” Sally said, already halfway to the door. “The mate bond doesn’t mean anything here, unless he says it does.”
With that, she left.
I sat at the edge of the soft, platform-style bed and stared at the food — grilled salmon, avocado rice, and a small bowl of berries.
Gourmet. Clean. Like something served at a luxury wellness retreat.
Just wondering what happened to the one they brought before the alpha summoned me.
My hand shook as I reached for a fork.
I didn’t realise how hungry I was until I had the first bite. The warmth grounded me; the taste reminded me I was still alive. That I hadn’t drowned.
After eating I walked into the bathroom. I gasped.
It was the size of my entire bedroom back at my uncle’s place.
Black countertops. Backlit mirrors. A rainfall shower. Gold accents on everything. And a robe hanging with the Kareem insignia stitched into the collar—a silver wolf crest.
I turned on the water, stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the steam. The water hit my skin, and I nearly broke.
I leaned my back against the glass and let the water wash away everything.
Back in the room, I pulled on the robe and wandered to the window. Outside, floodlights illuminate manicured edges and security walls topped with cameras. Wolves patrolled in human form, black uniform and earpieces, moving like ghosts across the property.
This was power. Real, terrifying power.
My eyes drifted to the slick nightstand where someone had placed a sleek digital tablet with my name on the screen.
I tapped it.
Welcome, Bliss.
Temporary clearance level 1:
Schedule uploaded. Training begins tomorrow.
I flinched at the word training. I had no idea what that meant here.
Fight? Spy? Run? Heal?
Another knock, this time gentler
A different girl peeked in— soft features, wavy hair tied up in a messy bun, a calming smile on her face. She wore a white lab coat over casual designer clothes.
“Hey, sorry, just checking in. You’re good?”
I nodded slowly. “ I think so.”
“I’m Elara, a healer intern. They asked me to drop by; Alpha said you might be…” She glanced at the food tray and smiled. “Starving, looks like he was right.”
“ I didn’t know he knew I was still here.”
“Ohh, he knows,” she said, lowering her voice playfully. “He’s got cameras in every hallway. Or let’s just say he doesn’t normally care where new strays sleep, but you? He’s watching.”
That did not calm my nerves.
“Do I look like a threat to him?”
She shrugged. “You look like someone who survived something impossible. That’s threat enough.”
“He didn’t put cameras in the bathroom or something like that, did he?”
She laughed, “Who would do that?”
I looked down at my hands. They were shaking. I hadn’t even noticed.
“You will feel it less in the morning,” she said softly, noticing. “The body is smart; it knows when it is not running anymore.”
“Am I safe here?”
She didn’t lie “for now”.
That night I curled up in the luxurious bed with too many pillows. Under silk sheets that smelt faintly of lavender. I stared up at the ceiling.
Even if it’s for now, at least I wasn’t dead. Let me make good use of it.

The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 109. The Confession
BlissThree days later, I was finally cleared for light activity, and I made my way to the detention cells where Liam was being held.He was mortal now—just a man, without the nine harvested souls powering him, without Lycaon's backing. The cells held him securely, silver-lined and warded against escape.When he saw me, something flickered in his eyes—not recognition exactly, but acknowledgment of the woman who had destroyed him."Bliss," he said, his voice rough. "Come to gloat?""No." I stood outside the cell, keeping distance between us. "Come to understand. I need to know—why? Why did you do it? Was it just the power? Or was there something else?"Liam leaned against the wall, and I saw how defeated he looked now. Without the power, without the mark of Lycaon's ownership, he was just a man who had made terrible choices."I wanted to matter," he said finally. "I wanted to be more than the son my father sold. More than the tool Lycaon created. I thought if I could be powerful enough
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 108. The Pack Address
BlissBy dawn, I felt strong enough to walk to the great hall.I moved slowly, deliberately, aware of every warrior's eyes tracking me as Kharo led me to the raised platform. The pack had gathered—all of them, even Solas's resistance faction. Nearly four hundred wolves, waiting to hear from their Alpha about what had happened.The losses were written on their faces. Aria was dead. Eight other warriors were gone—harvested souls that had scattered into the void. The wounds were fresh, still bleeding.But so was the relief. The convergence had been stopped. Reality had remained stable. The world still existed.Kharo stood before them, and I watched him reach deep inside himself for the strength to speak."Lycaon is dead," he began, his voice carrying through the hall. "The ritual was broken. The convergence was stopped. The worlds remain separate. We survived."A murmur moved through the pack—part relief, part grief."But survival came at a cost." He paused, his hand moving to his chest.
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 107 : Medical Assessment
BlissAria's assistant, a young healer named Elara, examined me with gentle hands and careful attention. She checked my pulse, looked at my eyes, ran diagnostic magic through my body. I could feel her cataloging the damage, assessing the repairs my Cycle-born healing had already made, projecting what still needed to happen."You're remarkable," she said finally. "Most wolves would have been completely obliterated by that kind of power channeling. But you're healing it. Adapting to it.""Is she going to be okay?" Kharo asked from where he stood against the wall. He hadn't left my side since we'd arrived at the medical bay."Yes. But she needs rest. Real rest, not just sleep. Her body needs time to fully knit the damage. I'd recommend at least a week of light activity. No training, no strenuous physical activity. Just... recovery."I almost laughed. A week of rest felt like a luxury I couldn't afford. But I nodded anyway.Elara hesitated, then added quietly, "Aria would be proud of you.
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 106. The Immediate Aftermath
BlissI couldn't breathe properly.Not because I was physically injured—my Cycle-born body was already healing the worst of the damage—but because the connection between Kharo and me was still partially open, and through it, I could feel everything he was experiencing.His pain. His shock. His awareness of the mark burning on his soul like a brand.The mark of the beloved's death.The prophecy had been accurate. Mercilessly accurate.Warriors swarmed around us, checking for injuries, assessing the scene. Marcus knelt beside me, his face tight with concern. "Bliss, can you hear me? Can you move?""Yeah," I managed, though my voice sounded fractured. "I'm okay. Just... recovering.""Lycaon?" he asked, though he already knew the answer. I could see it in his eyes—he had watched the god die, watched the impossible become real."Dead," I confirmed. "Permanently. No resurrection, no escape clause. He's gone."Around us, the convergence point was a wreck. The stone circle was cracked, symbol
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 105. The Killing Blow
BlissLycaon's expression shifted from amusement to something darker. "What is this?" he demanded. "The prophecy said—""Fuck the prophecy," I snarled, and my voice was layered with Kharo's Alpha tones underneath. We spoke with a single voice then, our consciousness so intertwined that there was no separation between us. Thousands of years of separation and suffering and love all compressed into two words.The connection between us reached critical mass.I felt Kharo's eyes go pure black—not wolf sight, something deeper. He could see Lycaon's essence then, the fragile threads of immortality, the cursed magic that bound him to existence, the fundamental weakness beneath the ancient power.He understood, in that moment of perfect clarity, exactly where to strike."Now," I breathed, and I pushed him forward, giving him the space to act.Kharo didn't use a weapon.Magic erupted from his hands—raw, concentrated, the combined force of Alpha power and mate bond and love so profound it rewrot
The Alpha’s Unforgiven Mate Chapter 104. Let’s Go Save The World
Bliss"How long do we have?" I asked."Twenty minutes.""Then we should prepare. Emotionally, spiritually. This was going to be unlike anything we'd ever experienced." I pulled back enough to see his face. "We needed to center ourselves. Remember why we were doing this—not just for the pack, not just for survival, but for each other. For the right to choose our own ending instead of letting destiny dictate it."Kharo nodded slowly. His hand came up to cup my face. "When did you figure this out?""Last night. When you were sleeping." I smiled sadly. "I was thinking about the prophecy, about all three options, and I realized—we'd been asking the wrong question. We kept asking 'what do I sacrifice?' But the real question was 'what do we sacrifice together?' And the answer was simple: everything we wanted, so everyone else got to want anything at all.""That's not simple," he said."No," I agreed. "But it was right. And after everything—after Ria, after Liam, after learning I'd been broug
