Alpha Wayland Reyrem

When I finally saw Alina after half a year of relentless searching, my body froze. The entire world around me simply stopped.

She was walking arm-in-arm with some smug rich boy, laughing brightly at the nonsense he was whispering into her ear—completely unaware of my presence.

Her laugh.

I had never heard her laugh like that… not once while she was with me. It was so light, so melodic, so contagious—so heartbreakingly beautiful. And yet, it wasn’t meant for me. It was for him.

That realization gnawed at me from the inside, setting fire to every nerve. My vision blurred with red, and a savage urge surged through me—to tear that arrogant bastard apart and punish my runaway mate.

I barely held myself back.

Just like that time... when I was forced to leave for another city in my pack’s territory. I hadn’t wanted to go—not when my girl was lying in a hospital bed. So small. So fragile. So defenseless. I wanted to be there when she woke up. I wanted to finally ta

    “This mansion isn’t just our home,” the Alpha explained, sitting down in one of the gazebos with a river view and pulling me into his lap. He inhaled deeply against the skin of my neck. “It’s also a kind of fortress for our pack. If something really serious happens—if the outer defenses of our settlement fall—then we can shelter all the residents of the village here on the estate. The fencing is strong and… full of surprises for enemies. It’s a necessary precaution. In every larger city on my lands, there are similar fortified places for pack members.”“I’ve never heard of any conflicts between werewolves. At least not in this century,” I mused, puzzled, and Wayland chuckled.“That’s because not everything is known to ordinary people. We keep our battles quiet, and we clean up after ourselves well enough not to alarm the human population,” the wolf said with a wry grin. “There’s a reason why my residence and home are here in this town, and not, say, in the country’s capital. This is n

    Once we finished our meal, Wayland suggested a walk around the property.“Did you hire the staff permanently?” I asked, slipping my arm through his.We stepped outside. Night had already fallen, and the estate was lit beautifully by soft garden lights. I had seen it in winter and found it impressive, but now, in summer, it looked even more magical. The air carried the sweet scent of flowering shrubs.“Yes. Ever since you ran away, I’ve been living in this house and hired the necessary staff,” the Alpha explained as we walked into the backyard, where a charming garden with a small fountain awaited. “Now we have a house manager, a full-time chef, a maid, and a gardener. That’s been enough for now, but if you want, you can hire more. There’s also a security detail—for both of us—and a personal driver.”“I want Max back on my security team,” I said seriously, stopping to meet his gaze. Wayland came to a halt and pressed his lips together in displeasure.“Alina, I demoted him from your per

    Dinner was incredibly delicious, but I felt slightly tense throughout. I just wasn’t used to this kind of treatment, and everything still felt somewhat unreal.Maybe when I was heading to the gala concert with Aiden, I tripped on my heels and broke my neck? Or perhaps I didn’t survive the injury? Maybe all of this is just a dream while I lie in a coma?“What’s my precious mate thinking about so hard?” Wayland asked, watching me closely as he refilled my glass with white wine.“Trying to get me drunk?” I raised a brow and took a sip of the exquisite wine, my eyes fixed on the man.“Just trying to help you relax a little,” the werewolf smirked.“Oh, is that what we’re calling it now?” I smirked back. After a brief pause and a deep breath, I decided to lift the veil of mystery just a bit. “It’s just… all of this is so unfamiliar. So what now? You’re going to lock me in the house so I don’t run away?”“You might be surprised, but it’s actually quite the opposite,” the alpha smiled gently,

    By the time the hour-long drive ended, I knew I’d never be able to look that poor driver in the eyes again. But nothing could stop the alpha. Even with the painfully limited space in the back seat, the man managed to fully embrace his role as a husband—multiple times.I dozed off in Wayland’s arms for the rest of the ride, completely drained.Note to self: after a long dry spell, do not jump straight into a full-blown active sex life.After the long ride, I woke up already in the alpha’s bedroom. The man himself was nowhere to be seen. Outside the window, the sky glowed a warm yellow—either sunset or sunrise, I couldn’t immediately tell.I turned onto my back and looked up at my reflection in the mirror on the ceiling. My red hair was spread out wildly across the bed, standing out sharply against the black sheets of the alpha’s bed. Slowly, I pulled the blanket up to my chest, breathing in the warm, intoxicating scent it carried—his scent. It was so pleasant, so comforting, that I clo

    The next morning, bright and early, we headed over to Tanya's place.Yesterday, just before I was dragged off to a luxurious bathroom—where a certain someone suddenly decided to prove his love tirelessly—I managed to sneak in a call to my sister to let her know I wouldn’t be home that night.I’ll admit, I’m still not used to hearing sweet confessions from an alpha, or seeing tenderness in his eyes instead of the usual anger and disapproval directed at me. It often leaves me stunned. But I’d be lying if I said it didn’t melt into a pleasant warmth that spreads through my whole body.It’s just scary to believe in it all too quickly and end up hurt again. That’s why I’m going to take things slow. And I truly hope Wayland doesn’t betray the trust I’m cautiously offering him. One thing’s for sure—being with me won’t be a walk in the park for him. I’m not one of those little lapdogs who grovel at his feet, eager to please, submitting without a fight. If he wants to be with me, he better be

    I see the alpha's face darken instantly, his fists and lips tightening. His chest expands, and patches of fur with claws appear on his arms."That bastard!" the leader growls through clenched teeth, sitting up sharply on the bed."I realized I had a lot in common with Lakisha," I say softly, watching the beast struggle inside the man. "And I almost made the same irreparable mistake once. I was lucky my friend was there to pull me out of the pit I’d fallen into in despair.""I’ll kill him!" the alpha growls, still unable to calm down. "He won’t get off with just a warning this time," he snarls, grinding his teeth."I’m not telling you this so you can go punish someone," I say, gently running my hand over his tense shoulders, trying to soothe him. "He’s already punished himself in the end. I’m saying this because wolves like you—or Zavyr—shouldn’t play with our emotions. Human girls can’t help being human. Our feelings are different...""So there are feelings after all?" he suddenly shi
