Sexual Evidences

His grip stays firm on my jaw, and he could break me apart if he wanted to and would still look bored while doing it.

My pulse pounds so hard I feel it behind my eyes.

Fuck it. If I’m going to die tonight, I might as well die committed to the performance.

So I lift my hand slowly and drag one finger along the sharp line of his jaw. His expression doesn’t change, which somehow makes it worse. I slide my finger lower, over the strong column of his throat, feeling the

  • This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead   TWENTY-THREE: The Rogue Wolf

    MINTHEThe Rogue Wolf* * *Fate is a lazy writer, and I am the idiot who spent three years trying to proofread its worst draft.The rough, knotted linen of my bedsheets digs into the palms of my hands, the friction burning through my skin as I slide over the iron edge of the balcony.The wind coming off the northern peaks hits me, tearing through my thin cotton undergarments and chilling the sweat on my ribs.My heavy velvet skirt is gone, discarded on the floor of my locked bedroom. I am dangling from the side of the west wing, looking down into a darkness that smells of frozen dirt and dead pine needles.In every trashy manhwa I read back in my modern apartment, the transmigrated heroine makes a rope ladder out of her bedding and drops to the ground with the effortless grace of a trained gymnast.The narrative always makes it look simple. They slip into the night, find a rogue prince, and start their glorious revenge arc.They don’t tell you about the way the sheets stretch under y

  • This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead   TWENTY-TWO: Escape Plan

    MINTHEEscape Plan* * * Pierre looks at the wolf, then at me, then at the wolf again. Something is working behind his eyes—the calculation of a man who wants to be angry but is trying to find the version of this that makes sense.“What were you doing at the border, Minthe,” he says again. “At midnight. With a bag packed, and Cobalt.”The room is listening. Every person in it is listening.I think, very clearly, about the honest answer. I was leaving. I’ve been waiting for the right window to leave for a week and I finally decided tonight was it, so I saddled a horse and packed one bag and rode for the service gate, and I would be halfway to the capital right now if I hadn’t stopped for a wolf that your System apparently decided was my responsibility.I think about saying that.I think about what happens after I say that—Pierre’s face, the conversation that follows, the particular look of a man who feels abandoned deciding to do something about it before I can finish leaving.I thin

    MINTHEThe Rogue* * * “What did you just say to me?”Lyria’s voice drops into that fragile hurt. It is a soft tremor vibrating through the cold midnight air, a perfect instrument designed to make her look like a glass doll while she drives a rusted spike straight into my chest.She really is a bitch.Pierre’s face hardens instantly, the shadows stretching across his jawline like jagged teeth. The smoke from the torch blows into my face, carrying the bitter smell of burning pine and sulfur that makes my eyes sting. He steps in front of Lyria, his massive frame blocking her from me.And the thing is, I’m not even angry anymore.That’s what surprises me most. I expected anger—the hot, vindicated kind that comes from finally saying the thing you’ve been swallowing for days. “Is that what you sneaked off to the Imperial Pack for, Minthe?” Pierre asks, his voice flat, low, and vibrating with an Alpha’s territorial rage. “To steal from the King? To go behind my back and bring imp

  • This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead   TWENTY: Did You Steal It?

    MINTHEDid You Steal It?* * *[ALLY INTEGRATION EVENT TRIGGERED. THIS UNIT WILL BE ESSENTIAL TO NARRATIVE PROGRESSION. DO NOT LEAVE.]“I wasn’t—I was literally trying to leave—“[ALLY STATUS: CRITICAL. HEAL TO ACTIVATE BOND.]“I don’t want a bond,” I hiss at the text, which is floating in my vision with complete indifference to my feelings about it. “I want to go to the capital. I want to draft a contract. I want to leave this pack before Lyria engineers another situation where I accidentally look like I’m committing crimes.”[ALLY BOND WILL PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE IN LATER STAGES. RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE ACTION.]“I am not taking a wolf with me to the imperial palace—“The wolf on the ground makes the small sound again.I look at him. He looks at me. His breathing is shallow and uneven and the dark matting on his flank is definitely not mud.“I hate this story,” I say, to no one in particular. “I want to be very clear about that.”Then I take off my coat, spread it on the ground b

  • This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead   NINETEEN: Ally Discovered

    MINTHEAlly Discovered* * *I have packed exactly one bag in my entire life before tonight, and that was when I transmigrated into this world with nothing but the clothes on someone else’s back and absolutely zero plan.This time I have a bag. A plan. And a horse I’ve been bribing with sugar cubes for three days specifically for this moment.That’s definitely progress.The west wing corridor is completely dark past midnight, the Omegas never did replace the torches out here, and at this point I’ve stopped expecting them to. Sure feels as if they’ve forgotten who spent three years with them here.I move through it by memory, coat buttoned to the throat, my family documents folded flat against my ribs inside the inner pocket, the five black envelopes from Hades tucked beside them. The dark necklace sits against my collarbone. Maybe I can sell this on the way to the Imperial Pack. Screw him.My wrapped ankle holds. My bag is light enough that it doesn’t throw my balance. I packe

  • This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead   EIGHTEEN: The Memo

    MINTHEThe Memo* * *I look at the plate. Then at the kitchen maid standing near the serving sideboard.She looks away immediately. Eyes to the floor, the wall, anywhere that isn’t my face.And there it is.I look past Lyria, my eyes finding Mira, the head cook, standing near the kitchen entrance. The older woman looks away immediately, her face flushed with deep, agonizing guilt. She knows. The entire kitchen staff knows my medical history. They wouldn’t have let Lyria touch a single piece of shellfish unless Lyria specifically demanded it—unless Lyria explicitly went out of her way to put this exact poison on the menu.She knows about the allergy. She did this on purpose.“I said I don’t want to eat it,” I say, my voice dropping an octave, the first hint of my old fighting spirit cracking through the humble, pathetic exterior I’ve been wearing like a shroud.“Minthe, sit down. You are making a scene over a simple gesture of kindness,” Pierre snaps, his alpha aura flaring jus
