“But that’s not fair, Gunnar!” I protested, my voice barely rising above a whisper. Despite his blindness, I dared not look him in the eye. “This second-chance bond goes both ways. Why are you allowed to flirt with other women, but I’m not?” Gunnar growled fiercely, pushing me against the wall. “No one is flirting with anyone, Aqua. If I were you, I would forget about that healer because you’re not going anywhere. YOU. ARE. MINE.” -------------------------------------------------- Aqua, a third-tier submissive wolf, finds her peaceful world shattered when her lover, Leon, tricks her into a perilous plan to offer her virginity to the most ruthless and powerful alpha wolf in the lands: the Alpha King, Gunnar Buchanan. Furious and feeling betrayed, Gunnar initially wants her dead for the deception. However, he soon discovers that the weakest wolf in the pack is his second-chance mate, a bond that complicates everything. Determined to break the bond, Gunnar struggles with his own desires. He cannot fathom making Aqua his Luna Queen, yet something in her innocent blue eyes ignites a possessive fire within him. As the bond deepens, Aqua’s presence challenges his resolve and awakens feelings he thought were long buried. As Aqua transforms from a submissive wolf to a dominant one, she faces numerous trials, from jealous pack members to deadly external threats. Her bond with Gunnar, initially a curse, becomes a source of strength. But as she gains power, the question remains: Can she break the second-chance bond that binds them, or will she find that her destiny lies with the Alpha King?

I had no idea what the hell they were talking about, so I decided to close my eyes and return to my beautiful sleep. But I found it difficult to do so despite my several attempts to block their screaming voices out of my head. When I finally couldn't endure it anymore, I released a low growl as I leaned upright on the bed. “Why the hell are you ladies screaming this early morning?!”The women immediately fell into a hush after my outburst. Guilt gripped my chest when they fell to their knees and bowed their heads onto the floor. Damn it, I cursed in my head. “F-Forgive us, Your Highness. We didn't mean to interrupt your precious sleep.” One of the ladies apologized. She shared a look with the rest of the women before speaking further. “It's just that we were trying to decide the outfit you would wear this afternoon.”I ran my hand through my messy hair, tryi
AQUA My eyes widened as I stared at the bones on the floor. It took a few minutes to comprehend the situation entirely, but then shock flooded my heart when the pieces finally fell into place. I was completely horrified by the shocking revelation that had just unfolded. Hannah... killed her mate?! "T-This is impossible," Hannah stammered, her voice trembling as she stumbled back from the guards. Fear glimmered in her wide eyes as they darted across the gathering crowd. "No one was supposed to find out about this. No one was supposed to know about Stephen!" Gunnar suddenly raised his hand to stop the guards from approaching further. For a fleeting moment, his fierce exterior softened as he looked at her, concern etched on his features. "Why did you do it, Hannah?" "Because you rejected me!" she screamed, the anguish in her voice slicing through the air like a knife. Hannah had completely shed her graceful look, leaving behind a mad look as she glared at us. "You have no idea how t
AQUARight until that moment, I had been prepared for the worst. I was prepared to leave the pack or even lie that I had seduced Gunnar for his power and his protection. I was prepared to do anything to protect my second chance mate and his daughter. But I was definitely not prepared for his sudden announcement. D-Did he just say I was his Luna Queen?“You can't be serious!” The pack priestess screamed with fury when she heard his words. The entire crowd had gone into an uproar at the sudden revelation, and I didn't even need to bother to look up to sense their shock and disbelief. I mean, who in the world would believe that a third-tier submissive wolf was the Alpha King's second-chance mate?Gunnar ignored her pained cry and redirected his attention to me. I was grateful that he had chosen to turn to me because I was already having a hard time dodging River's advances. But before I could even blink, Gunnar vanished from my sight and then appeared in front of us. My heart skipped
GUNNARWhen I finally reached the meeting hall, I was glad to see my mate was standing in one piece at least. Aqua pushed her true mate away from her and quickly took a step back to create some distance away from them, but he refused to let her leave. That's when my wolf finally snapped. “You better take your hands from my mate.” I stepped into the arena, my hands turning into fists. “That's not a warning, River.”Silence crashed over the hall as all eyes landed on me. I watched their faces drain of color, their bodies stiffening under the sheer force of my presence. My wolf surged forward, drinking in the thick scent of fear and unease that now poisoned the air.Good. They should be fucking terrified. Because from this moment on, things were about to get very, very messy.Elder Nathaniel exchanged a tense glance with the other elders before rising from his seat. When he and the council finally approached, their heads bowed in reverence.“Your Majesty, I didn't know you had returned
AQUAThe entire crowd went into an uproar when they heard my confession. I knew what the consequences of my confession would entail, but I just couldn't let go of the opportunity to mess with them. My fearlessness came from the certainty that Gunnar would surely come to my rescue, but first, I decided to see what exactly these people were up to. Elder Nathaniel's expression darkened when he heard my words. He leaned against his chair and looked at the nearby guards who started moving at his silent command. “Well, since you have confessed, we should move on to your punishment,” he declared, his voice a chilling echo that reverberated among the crowd, silencing their whispers. “Aqua, you are hereby punished—"“Wait!” I yelled. A guard behind me immediately scolded me for daring to interrupt the Head Elder's judgment, but I ignored him and kept my focus on the man in front of me. “May I ask how exactly I disobeyed the moon goddess's wishes? I thought I was being arrested for having an a
AQUAThe next moment, I found myself standing in front of the entire pack with my hands and legs bound in chains. My wolf screamed against the injustice of the situation but I used every willpower I had to suppress her unreasonable whines. I wasn't offended by the rough treatment and derogatory words I had been subjected to for the past hour, but rather I was more concerned about how this situation would end.Things were truly going to get messy, I thought to myself. Just when I was about to close my eyes for a quick nap, the door suddenly burst open without warning. The pack priestess stood at the entrance of my cold, dark cell with a grim expression that spoke a lot of volumes."Greetings, priestess," I said, bowing my head respectfully despite the prickling fear dancing along my spine. At first, I was curious about the purpose of her visit but then, I started to suspect that she was the one behind the flyer incident.The old woman ignored my greetings and approached me. At that mo
AQUAThe next morning, I jolted awake to the frantic sound of Kianna's voice cutting through the fog of sleep. As I sat upright on my bed, I bit my bottom lip to suppress the throbbing pain in my head. At that moment, I didn't even remember how I ended up tucked in my bed or how I even got my clothes changed.“Aqua, you need to see this!” Her urgency dripped with a mix of panic and dread as she pressed a crumpled flyer into my hand before settling beside me on the edge of the bed.I rubbed my sleepy eyes before staring at the paper in my hand. As I scanned the words on the flyer, my eyes slowly widened with shock as I struggled to process what I had just seen.I turned to Kianna and asked. "What's the meaning of this?""I swear I didn't say anything," Kianna said with a trace of panic. "When I went for a pack run, I noticed there were whispers in the pack, so I decided to ask about it. That's when my friend gave me this flyer.""What the hell?" I cursed under my breath. Kianna shifted
AQUAAs Gunnar finally pulled up in front of my house, a wave of dread washed over me, causing my legs to tremble uncontrollably as I opened the car door. The chill of the evening air seemed to seep into my bones, but that was nothing compared to the heavy weight of apprehension sitting in my chest. Somewhere in my mind, I knew I should be grateful that he had delivered me safely in one piece, but this situation felt worse. Perhaps it would have been better if he had made a scene or even shouted at me, but he did nothing.The entire drive had been a stifling silence, wrapping around me and squeezing the breath from my lungs. Although the windows were open, cold sweat trickled down my spine as I tried to figure out how to fix this mess I had created.I should have never kept this a secret from Gunnar. I knew this was going to happen, yet I stubbornly clung to my stupid belief that I could fix this all by myself.Now, I was going to lose the man I loved.When Gunnar turned to leave, my
GUNNAR"I've already made my choice!" Aqua screamed angrily.Even though I tried to control my emotions, my heart involuntarily skipped a beat when I heard her words. My second chance mate had been standing beside me all this time, yet it seemed like a wall had risen between us. She lied to me and even went on a date with her true mate. At that moment, I had no hope that she would choose me. Perhaps she was simply having a lover's spat with him and wanted to use me to make him jealous.Thinking like that made my heart squeeze in my chest. Although I hadn't been sweet and attentive like River probably was to her, at least my intentions were pure and true. Since the moment she entered my life, my every thought had been consumed by her, longing to cherish and protect her. But is this what I was going to get in return?She was just going to walk away, turning her back on our future? On everything we had up to now?Aqua interlinked our fingers with each other before unmuting the mate bond.
AQUAEveryone said love turned people into fools, and I guess they were right. Or else, what could explain the dangerous risk I was taking tonight?I barely managed to clear the barbed fence, my paws brushing against the sharp edges as I leapt. I landed gracefully on the soft, damp grass beneath me, feeling the earth cool against my fur. The full moon cast its pale light on the forest floor, guiding me to the house I knew so well. I changed back to my human form and walked to the door, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. I knocked on the door according to the rhythm my lover taught me. And he opened it almost immediately, his figure leaning against the door. His eyes anxiously swept across our surroundings as he greeted me, “You are finally here, Aqua.”“I’m here.” I replied. His nose twitched twice, sniffing the air before his eyes that glanced at my body dilated with lust. Happiness filled my heart at his reaction, even though I knew the only reason he was only behaving like thi...
