This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead THIRTY-FOUR: The Contract
MINTHEThe Contract* * *The iron tang of my own blood tastes remarkably like defeat, coating the back of my throat that refuses to wash away.I stand rooted in the black mud of the ruined garden, my left cheek throbbing with a white-hot heat that radiates all the way down to my collarbone.The skin is already swelling where Pierre’s heavy palm had connected with brutal force.My right hand isn’t doing any better, dark, thick drops of blood drip steadily from my palm, staining the wet earth beneath my feet where the sharp wood splinters from my ruined carvings had sliced deep into my flesh.I don’t cry.I don’t even blink.Instead, I reach down with my uninjured hand, gripping the heavy fabric of my mud-caked woolen skirt.With a tug, I use my teeth to catch the hem, yanking hard until the fabric gives way with a loud, satisfying rip.The sound tears through the dead silence of the empty courtyard.Cassian stands a few feet away, his small shoulders trembling under his thin shirt, hi
This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead THIRTY-THREE: Be Like Lyria
MINTHEBe Like Lyria* * * “What the fuck did you just do?!” The older Omega finally finds her voice, screaming in absolute horror as she lunges forward to shield Lyria.“Who the hell do you think you are to touch her?! Guards! Traitor! Someone kill this Omega!”The wood choppers lift their iron axes, their faces flushed with aggressive pack loyalty as they take a step toward Cassian.My survival instincts kick in before my brain can even process the danger.If Cassian gets hurt, if he fights back and kills these people, or if he decides to back out of our arrangement and leave this pack, my system contract is completely void.If the distance between me and the Royal Messenger exceeds thirty meters while my system is corrupted, my internal organs will liquefy.I cannot let them touch him.I step forward, aggressively raising my right hand, thrusting my fragile body directly in front of Cassian’s massive frame to shield him from the advancing warriors.“Stand the fuck down!” I snap, my
This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead THIRTY-TWO: He Can Do That?
MINTHEHe 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 sudden, dramatic rush of tears.Her lower lip trembles with theatrical perfection, her small hands clutching at her chest as she takes a frantic, stumbling step backward into the crushed mud.She looks at me as if I am a monster that just crawled out of the dark to slaughter her where she stands.“Please . . . please, I didn’t know you were t-there . . . Pierre told me that I can put the flowers in this garden . . . I-I’m sorry about your little wooden . . . things.”I can’t breathe.I literally
This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead THIRTY-ONE: The Garden of the Past
MINTHEThe Garden of the Past* * *We go through the winding, twisting stone paths of the outer grounds, moving far away from the noisy main packhouse and toward the secluded eastern ridge of the estate.This is my place.A small, hidden garden sanctuary enclosed by towering, thick evergreen hedges that completely block out the rest of the world.Over the last three years, when the overwhelming loneliness of being a modern soul trapped in a medieval fantasy novel became too heavy to bear, I came here.With no internet, no smartphones, no electricity, and nothing but dry, boring historical texts about werewolf lineages to read, the boredom had been an actual, physical ache in my chest.So, I took up a hobby.I spent hundreds of lonely hours with a small iron carving knife and blocks of scrap oak wood, meticulously recreating the things I missed from home.It was stupid, pathetic even, but it was the only thing that kept me sane.I carved little wooden replicas of things I used to take
This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead THIRTY: The Plans to Leave
MINTHEThe Plans to Leave* * *“I understand, Pierre,” I whisper softly against his shoulder, keeping my voice entirely devoid of the screaming rage that a normal woman would let rip.I make my body look weak, letting my chin rest heavily on his leather collar for a brief second before pulling back.I’m giving him the perfect manifestation of the quiet, submissive patience he expects from me.I look down at the simple, low-effort bunch of red roses, treating them like a pathetic consolation prize given to a loyal dog who keeps the house running while the master dreams of a prize horse.The massive wave of relief that washes over his handsome features is almost sickening.Pierre doesn’t see the cold mockery behind my quiet acceptance.To him, I am just the safe, dependable girl who will sit quietly by the hearth and wait while he caters to another woman’s panic attacks.“Thank you, Minthe,” he breathes, as he presses a hurried kiss to my temple, his fingers trembling slightly as they
This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead TWENTY-NINE: Perfect Red Roses
MINTHEPerfect Red Roses* * *The stiff white lace apron is tied tightly around his waist, and the dark fabric of the long skirt clings awkwardly to his deceptively broad, athletic shoulders.The little white lace headpiece is sitting crookedly on his messy black hair.“Are you fucking kidding me with this?” he snaps, violently tugging at the high lace collar that is digging into his throat.“Do I really have to wear this piece of literal garbage? I look like a goddamn joke. If my uncle sees me like this, he’ll execute me himself just to spare the family honor.”“Hush! Don’t swear,” I snap back, adopting an immediate big-sister tone as I walk over and swat his hand away from the collar.“And stop pulling at the lace, you’re going to rip the seams. It’s the only one that fits your shoulders.”I look at the translucent blue screen hovering in my peripheral vision, and my smirk widens.If you want to fuck with my life, system, I’m going to absolutely ruin the aesthetic of this novel.Yo
This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead TWO: The Last Delusion
MINTHEThe Last Delusion* * *Pierre tilts his head slightly. “You ask all men to become your mate this way?”“I usually bring flowers first.”His thumb shifts against my waist.Tiny movement.Tiny.But my pulse absolutely humiliates me over it.“You’re nervous,” he says quietly.“Obviously.”
This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead TWENTY-SEVEN: The System
MINTHEThe System* * *Pierre is standing right in front of me. His broad shoulders block the dim light from the window behind him, his jaw set in that hard, rigid line.His blue eyes are wide, dark with an intense, raw emotion that I haven’t seen in him for months. He is staring down at me
This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead TWENTY-FIVE: The Alpha King's What?
MINTHEThe Alpha King’s What?* * *Pierre steps into the room first, his broad shoulders blocking the morning light. His blue eyes are hard, his jaw set in that cold line that used to make me feel secure and now just makes me feel sick. Right behind him, holding onto the sleeve of his heavy leathe
This Time, I Choose The Alpha King Male Lead ONE: Inside A Novel
MINTHEModern 2026* * *"FUCK THAT VILLAINESS!"The comments under the chapter are what finally piss me off.“Oh my God, Pierre deserves better but the Alpha King and Lyria are soulmates”“I’d choose Hades too.”“Minthe deserved to die anyway! Good riddance.”I stare at my phone screen in the dark
