He Can Do That?

* * *

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

The sound is entirely merciless.

I stand frozen at the entrance of the hedge row, my breath catching in my throat as the biting scent of fresh pine sap and damp earth fills my lungs.

Every blow of the iron axes is a blade carving into my own ribs.

They are destroying it.

They are systematically smashing three years of my life into unrecognizable kindling.

Right in the center of the clearing, Lyria stands with her wide, doe-like eyes swimming in a s

  • This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead   SIXTY-TWO: PDA

    MINTHEPDA* * * Waking up from a week-long coma in a bed of heavy imperial velvet is a great way to realize that reality doesn’t give a single damn about your exit strategy.My mother finally leaves the room after fussing over my pillows and making me swallow three cups of bitter herbal broth that tastes like wet dirt.As soon as the heavy oak door clicks shut, I slide out of bed, ignoring the tremor in my knees, and walk over to the mahogany writing desk near the tall arched windows.A stack of blank parchment and an inkwell sit on the surface.I pull the chair out, sit down, and pick up the pen.I need a plan.My bargain with Lyria still stands. If I show her I’ve been able to seduce the King, she’s going back to him. Even without the bargain, her ego won’t be able to swallow the fact that Hades would have fallen for me.My fingers are still pale and stiff, but the ink flows smoothly as I start scratching out notes.If I want to get out of this godforsaken fictional world and go b

  • This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead   SIXTY-ONE: Back Home

    MINTHEBack Home* * *“You’re going to leave?” Hades asks softly, his deep, rumbling baritone cutting through the suffocating silence of the room like a razor-sharp blade.My heart slams violently against my ribs.The raw confession is still hanging in the open air, heavy and exposed.Cassian is frozen against the balcony railing, looking like he wants to dissolve into the floorboards.I swallow hard, forcing a tight, nervous laugh that sounds like breaking glass.I wave my hands dismissively, refusing to look directly into his dark, unblinking eyes.“Leave? Oh, wow. Look at you taking things completely out of context,” I stammer, my voice pitching up an octave in sheer panic.“I was just . . . you know, testing Cassian! Dramatic acting exercise. Stage directions. Right, Cass?”Cassian opens his mouth, blinks, and wisely decides to keep his trap shut.Before I can squeeze out another pathetic lie, Hades moves. He doesn’t yell, and he doesn’t blink.He crosses the bedroom floor faster

  • This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead   SIXTY: I Wanna Go Home

    MINTHEI Wanna Go Home* * * We step out onto the narrow stone balcony overlooking the overgrown pack gardens, the morning wind whipping my hair across my face.The air bites at my cheeks. It smells of dead leaves and old frost, the same bitter chill that has settled in my bones for three years.I lean my palms against the cold stone railing.Behind me, the oak door creaks as Pierre steps onto the landing, his boots scraping the grit.“You’re being completely irrational, Minthe,” Pierre says, his voice carrying that patronizing edge that used to make me fold instantly. “You’re throwing away a life we built together over a momentary lapse in judgment. I told you, Lyria is pack now. She needed a safe place to land.”I don’t turn around.I keep my eyes on the slush-covered rows of the garden below, where nothing grows without a fight.“An irrational life,” I repeat quietly. “Is that what you call three years of balancing your budget on empty promises while you chased ghosts from your p

  • This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead   FIFTY-NINE: One Last Time

    MINTHEOne Last Time* * *“If anyone so much as brushes a finger against her, I will peel your skin off while you are still breathing.”Hades’ voice doesn’t rise. It doesn’t need to.The temperature in the grand hall drops ten degrees. Every Ashbourne warrior who just stepped forward to obey Pierre’s illegal order goes rigid.Their boots stop dead on the marble. Their hands hover over their hilts as they look between Pierre’s manic glare and the flat black eyes of the Imperial Alpha King.Behind the head table, Envoy Vane’s quill freezes over his ledger. Even Elder Marcus has stopped wringing his hands.I stand there in my icy-blue silk dress, the bone corset digging into my ribs, completely numb.Moments ago, Pierre tried to auction me off as collateral to pay for his stolen debts. And for a second, looking at his bloodshot eyes, I feel the old ache of the last three years.The nights balancing ledgers by candlelight.The bruised knuckles. The humiliating patience of a woman who con

  • This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead   FIFTY-EIGHT: Bankrupt?

    MINTHEBankrupt?* * *My brain short-circuits.I stare up at his face, my right hand still pressed flat against his bare chest, my fingers holding his left pec like a goddamn morning pastry.“Jesus fucking Christ!” I gasp, my voice cracking as I scramble backward across the mattress, my ankles tangling in the blanket.Hades moves faster than a whip.His hand shoots out, clamping around my ankle, and yanks me flat onto my back.Before I can suck in a breath, he flips over, pinning my thighs under his weight.He slams his palms onto the mattress on either side of my head, hovering over me.“Where do you think you’re going, sweetheart?” he rasps. His morning voice is thick and rough with sleep.My heart hammers. I press both palms against his shoulders and shove, but it’s like pushing a granite wall.“Get off me!” I snap, glaring up at him. “You a fucking ton!” I yell before realizing what I just said,“I mean . . . please, your majesty.”“You weren’t complaining when you were cupping m

  • This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead   FIFTY-SEVEN: Bread

    MINTHEBread* * *Lyria stands frozen on the elevated stage, her face drained of color while the iron boots of the Imperial Shadow Battalion echo off the stone walls.The sweet composure she wore all night is gone, replaced by pure terror.Behind her, the senior elders look like they’re about to have heart attacks, while the house Omegas scramble backward, clutching serving carts for support.I can’t help the wicked curl of satisfaction settling in my chest.Good fucking luck with fifty bloodthirsty soldiers, sweetie. Let’s see how many silk dresses and tearful smiles it takes to buy fifty barrels of ale and three hundred pounds of salted beef by midnight.Hades doesn’t move an inch.He stays seated in the velvet armchair, his chest rising and falling against my back, his hand still locked around my waist. He looks down at Lyria like she’s a bug he’s deciding whether to crush.“Well?” Hades rasps, cutting through the panicked whispers. “Are my men standing in the hall all night
