When an Alpha Is Challenged

Alpha Kei’s POVQueen me?For a moment, I genuinely wonder if I misheard her.Me.Alpha of the strongest pack in the kingdom. The wolf who defeated his own father before most men earned their first scar. The one other Alphas measure themselves against in private and flatter in public.Queen?The word lands like a slap across my face.No.Like a challenge thrown at my feet in front of a thousand watching eyes.The heat that had been coursing through my veins only seconds ago vanishes so abruptly it almost feels violent. Desire drains from my body. My cock, so painfully hard a breath ago, softens without mercy.Disgust climbs up my throat.Not at her. At the implication.My hands drop from her waist as if I’ve touched fire. I take an instinctive step back, my wolf surging to the surface so fast it nearly tears through my skin.She did not just say that.She did.My jaw tightens, the muscles in my neck flexing as I physically force myself not to snarl.If she were any other she-wolf—any

Silencing the Bond

That.That is exactly why I cannot allow the pack to see what she truly is.Rumors will spread about her saving the western edge from the fire. I can dismiss those as exaggerations. Panic makes wolves dramatic.But if more members of my pack—elders, ranked warriors, those who hold influence—witness her power up close?If they sense even a fraction of her dominance and begin whispering that she stands above their Alpha—The entire hierarchy fractures.My pack is built on order.On strength.On the unshakable image that I am the strongest thing walking within these borders.If that image cracks, even slightly, challengers will rise.That is why she is staying in the old family house—my father’s former residence.It is practically hidden. Abandoned. Forsaken. No one goes there willingly. Too many memories. Too much blood soaked into the foundation.Years ago, I built a new home for my mother so she could breathe without the ghosts of the past lingering in every corridor. The old house be

The Morning After the Alpha

I don’t remember falling asleep.But I remember the moment just before it happened.My legs were shaking so badly I nearly collapsed.Kei had left me a trembling mess on that kitchen counter—my entire body still humming with the aftershocks of pleasure, my wolf purring in smug satisfaction while my pride lay somewhere on the floor next to my dignity.By the time I slid down from the counter, I could barely think straight.I remember gripping the edge of the marble.I remember cursing his name under my breath.Then I remember staggering toward the nearest bedroom like a drunken queen who had just survived a scandalous affair.The room had been huge. Luxurious. Probably breathtaking.I wouldn’t know.I didn’t even look.I simply face-planted into the bed, and the world went black.—A gentle tap on my shoulder drags me back to consciousness.I groan into the pillow.Another tap.“Rise and shine.” The voice is cheerful.I crack one eye open and see a girl standing beside the bed.She has

When Saving a Life Became a Sin

The boy’s body jerks violently again, his eyes rolling back.Someone gasps. “He’s dying!”“No, he isn’t,” my maid snaps as she pries his jaw open carefully and rubs the crushed herbs along his gums, then presses two fingers against his throat.“Come on,” she murmurs softly. “Breathe, little wolf.”The crowd stare as if they are witnessing witchcraft.Women weren’t healers; everyone knew that. It was forbidden, yet my maid continues as if she has done this a hundred times.She massages the boy’s throat carefully, helping him swallow the crushed herbs.The boy’s body convulses again—harder this time—before a violent cough erupts from him. His body curls forward as air finally tears into his lungs.“There!” she says quickly. “Water. Someone bring water!”A man rushes forward with a cup. She supports the boy’s head carefully as the water is tipped into his mouth.He coughs again, sputtering weakly, but his eyes open. Alive.The crowd erupts into shocked murmurs.“How did she—”“That boy w

A World That Needs to Change

The hall is still watching us. I can hear their whispers and feel their judging eyes on my back.With a quiet sigh, I turn toward the exit without another word. The maid follows silently behind me.We walk in silence. Real silence.Not the comfortable kind where two people simply don’t need words. No—this one hangs heavily between us like thick fog.The cheerful girl from earlier is gone again.Her shoulders are slightly hunched, and her hands are clasped tightly in front of her as she walks beside me along the quiet path that leads back to the house. The trees on both sides sway gently in the wind, their shadows stretching across the lonely road.I exhale slowly, the tension is starting to irritate me. Finally, I stop walking.She takes two more steps before realizing I’m no longer beside her. She turns quickly, blinking at me in confusion.I cross my arms and look at her.“It’s not your fault.”She blinks again.“What?”“That I’m no longer in the mood to play dress-up in a place whe

A Date That Feels Like a Trap

It’s already evening.Actually… scratch that.It’s almost midnight.And Alpha Kei is nowhere to be seen.I’m still sitting on the couch in the same black dress I wore to the mall earlier. I didn’t bother changing.Why would I?Something tells me I’m going to need a cold shower after this night anyway, so there’s really no point wasting soap and water beforehand.One leg is crossed over the other as I stare at the large clock on the wall like it personally offended me.Tick.Tick.Tick.Each second sounds louder than the last while my foot taps impatiently against the floor.I keep glancing at the clock, again and again, just to make sure the stupid thing isn’t broken.It isn’t.“He said tomorrow night,” I mutter under my breath. “Last time I checked, night does not mean midnight.”Across the room, Nora hovers near the vanity table like a determined little storm cloud.She’s been trying to put makeup on my face for the last… I don’t know… two hours.“Please,” she begs again for what fe

The Night the Alpha Showed His Scars

A slow laugh escapes him, the sound echoing across the hill. Then he tilts his head slightly.“Are you angry that I didn’t pick you up earlier, mate?”There’s something strange in his voice. A sharp edge beneath the teasing.“You aren’t like other women,” he continues. “So I didn’t think you would care about punctuality.”There’s something in the way he says 'other women' that doesn’t sound like admiration.It sounds more like a challenge. Maybe even… spite.Or maybe I’m imagining it.Because yes, I am irritated that he didn’t come himself and kept me waiting for hours. But I would die before admitting that to him or letting him see that it bothers me.Kei walks toward the edge of the cliff and sits down like a man who isn’t currently dangling above a thousand-foot drop, stretching his legs out in front of him.From where I stand, it looks like he’s sitting at the edge of the world.He pats the empty space beside him.An invitation.I stare at him, then I scoff.I seem to be doing tha

He Put a Collar on His Mate

He blinks, clearly not expecting that answer.“What?”I fold my arms across my chest. “The laws that keep women beneath men. I want them gone.”The wind grows stronger around us, tugging at my hair as I continue.“There are women in your pack capable of far more than cooking meals and scrubbing floors.”He looks at me with deep confusion, which makes me sigh as I drop my arms in irritation.“Your Omega women alone could double your pack’s strength if they were allowed education and training,” I hiss, beginning to pace slowly across the hilltop as my voice gains momentum.Kei watches me quietly now.“No pack survives on brute strength alone,” I continue. “You need healers, strategists, scouts, diplomats.”I turn toward him again.“And yet the women in your pack are treated like decorative furniture. They cook. They clean. They give birth. And then they disappear into the background while men pretend they built the world.”His jaw tightens slightly.“There’s a woman among your Omegas, f

The Mate Who Became My Enemy

For a moment… I can’t breathe.Not because of the cursed necklace digging painfully into my skin. Not because my wolf has been ripped out of me, as though someone carved a living piece from my chest.But because of him.Kei.The man who freed me from my father’s magical cuffs and returned my wolf to me without hesitation.The man I foolishly—stupidly—started to fall for.The same man who has now replaced those cuffs with his own, stealing my wolf away once again.His betrayal sits between us like a blade, twisting deeper with every second I look at him.Because the truth—the one I hate admitting even to myself—is that I trusted him.Not completely or blindly, but enough.Somewhere between the arguments and the insults… between the fights and the relentless tension between us… I started to believe that maybe he was different.Maybe it was the way he listened when I challenged him.Or maybe…It was my mother’s voice echoing in my mind.The quiet hope that Alpha Kei was not like the men

Two Brothers, One Prisoner

“Try me,” I whisper, defiant, even though my stomach twists in a way I can’t ignore.“Oh… I will,” he breathes.His gaze drops to the cursed necklace around my throat, lingering far too long.“The only time that collar comes off,” he says calmly—though something deadly lurks beneath his words—“is when you’re ready to be marked and mated… ready to be fully mine.”I shiver. Not entirely from fear. Part of it is, yes. But there’s also heat pooling low in my body despite every warning screaming in my mind.“When that happens,” he continues, his voice lowering into a soft, dangerous caress, “your power… will finally become mine.”His fingers brush lightly against the necklace, and a shiver runs through me before I can stop it.The intensity in his gaze is magnetic—suffocating. Every part of me wants to fight him, wants to hate him. But my body betrays me with a pulse of desire I can’t deny.“Until then…” His smile sharpens, predatory and dark.“You’d better start getting used to the idea
