Semua Bab Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. : Bab 51 - Bab 60

AQUAI opened my eyes in the morning to find myself lying on my bed with my mate's arms around me, my naked body barely covered by the sheets. Memories of the previous night came rushing into me, causing warmth to spread through my cheeks. After Gunnar and I had resolved our misunderstandings about each other, we had sex all through the night with unrelenting, raw passion. My alpha king was insatiable and I loved it. I could sense his affection for me through every caress, every touch, and every kiss.Although it wasn't the kind of love I wanted, I knew I had to be content with it for now. After all, he was still in love with his true mate and that was a feeling that I wasn't sure I could contend with.But I had to try. Because I had fallen too deep to let him go, and as his second-chance mate, I deserved the chance to win his heart. If I could.I gently turned to my side to stare at Gunnar. I was instantly treated to a stunning view of his handsome face. Sleep softened his sharp feat

AQUAI curled up on my bed, the soft fabric of my sheets tangling around me as I let out a series of deep, shuddering sobs. I wasn't crying because Hannah bullied me earlier, but rather because I hated how fragile I was. In the Wind Ridge Pack, I never suffered any hardships because I was the youngest submissive wolf and had been dating Leon, who took very good care of me. But things had completely changed in the Storm Fire Pack, and I hated it.I was so weak that no one wanted to have anything to do with me.My own mate couldn't even acknowledge me, and as if that wasn't enough, his love interest was now bullying me.When I finally stopped crying, my eyes felt heavy and swollen, and my wolf was becoming increasingly restless. I tried to take several deep breaths to calm her down, but the discomfort lingered, making me bury myself under the blankets. One moment, I felt extremely cold, and the next, I was unbearably hot. I considered contacting Gunnar for help, but I decided against it

GUNNARAs the Alpha King, I hardly had a problem dealing with any wolf that dared to disrespect or disobey me because that was the easiest part of my work. I always had to exclude strength and dominance in front of everyone to maintain law and order across the entire continent, and I was used to doing it for ten fucking years.But this was the first time I nearly killed someone so close to the bonds of family.Aqua screamed when she saw my hands wrap around River's throat, lifting him off the ground with one smooth grip, but she didn't take another step further. Neither did she beg me to spare his life.Smart girl.Because that would have just pissed my wolf off, and then I would have my healer's blood on my hands in a matter of seconds. My wolf was naturally impulsive and aggressive, and though he possessed some discipline and wisdom as the Alpha King, he often made unreasonable demands that always hurt my loved ones.Which was why I remained in my human form. I snarled at the man w

AQUAWhen I abandoned Gunnar and River back in the forest, I had no idea where I was going. All I could think about at that moment was the overwhelming need to run away from the situation I had been facing. Gunnar had no freaking idea how panicked and hurt I was when he told me he wanted to check if River was my mate.The truth was that I was scared that it was true. After all, the irresistible pull I felt towards the pack healer was real, and we seemed to have very good chemistry. But no one in the world could make me feel the way I felt when I was with Gunnar.I knew he kept implying that my feelings were only because of the mate bond, but I knew deep in my heart it wasn't true. I was in love with him, and I needed him to fall for me too. But I didn't know how to compete with someone already dead, someone who I had never met or seen in my entire life.Tia, his true mate.I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I failed to notice an oncoming truck honking desperately in my direction.

GUNNARThey must be fucking crazy. Once some of the pack witnessed what happened in the valley, the elders immediately summoned me for a mediation meeting. That's what they told me, but I knew they were here to demand an explanation from me. So I went to the meeting hall and waited for River to finish healing Tristan's leg. But unfortunately, River appeared a few seconds later with a grim expression. "I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do,” River explained. “His tibia was crushed to pieces, so even if I do heal him right now, he will be...”“What would happen to him?” one of the elders questioned, his voice filled with anxiety.River grimaced. “Well, he'll be a cripple for the rest of his life. I'm sorry, I really tried my best, but—”“Do you see what you've done, Gunnar?!” The elder slammed the table as she faced me. Her face was livid with rage as she spoke. “Tell us, why the hell did you deform my grandson?! You better have a good reason for this, or else—”“Or else what?” I r
