You’ll Not Be Alpha King

I didn't answer Luther. I just kept staring off toward the far west.That was where Sawyer's pack, the Graymoon Pack, lived.I was going to marry him and help him become the Alpha King.Since I stayed silent, everyone assumed I'd accepted Luther's proposal. They raised their glasses to congratulate him."Luther, we look forward to you leading our pack toward a better future! Let's celebrate!"Luther didn't say a word. He casually lifted his crystal glass and drained it in one long swallow.Then he stepped right up to me, leaning close to whisper with a quiet laugh."Marrying me is your dream come true, but let's get this straight—you don't get a say in my private life."Before I could respond, Elise spoke up. "Alpha, I…" She trailed off, her eyes overflowing with love as she stared at Luther.Luther swept her up in his arms and held her against his chest. "You're hurt. You should rest."His gaze on Elise was full of tenderness. She had ruined his plans to conquer other pa

After I left, Luther couldn't sleep. His chest often felt tight, as if something heavy was pressing down on him.Elise walked in carrying a glass of warm milk, trying to soothe his restlessness. "Lilith's just throwing a tantrum. The more upset she is, the calmer you have to be. Don't let her get under your skin.

Kicking open the manor window, he leapt out and ran, his nose following my scent deep into the forest.Pack members saw their Alpha barrel

Sawyer tossed all the silver items into a lockbox and pressed the key into my hand."This way, nothing can hurt you."I held the key, still lost in thought, until Sawyer leaned down and kissed me. That brought me back."Goodnight, future Luna Queen," he whispered."Goodnight," I murmured.The lamp went out. Sawyer tucked the covers around me and quietly rolled to the other side of the bed, but I grabbed him and pulled him back."We're mates," I reminded him.His gray-green eyes glimmered, tears of excitement sliding down his cheeks.Later, when I went out to buy supplies, I ran into Elise again.She ordered a burger with fries and sat across from me."Not bad," she said, smirking. "Using one man to provoke another. I have to say, it's a clever trick. But it doesn't matter. When you were around, Luther favored me. You leaving won't change that."Her eyes narrowed. "Still, I can't believe you chose to marry Sawyer, a half-blood werewolf. Seems like you're setting yourself up t
