GUNNAR

I felt it a bit later than I would have expected.

The smile on my face vanished when pain exploded in my chest. I instantly searched for my mate in the room, but she was nowhere to be seen. She said she was going to the restroom, so I wondered what was taking her so long to return.

Unless she decided to escape my pack.

But that was impossible, right? We were good this morning until we reached the Storm Fire Pack. While I was aware that she low-key hated this place, I was assured of her willingness to cooperate in breaking this bond until now.

Something must have happened when I had gone to change my shirt.

“Gunnar, are you okay?” Hannah asked, her face filled with concern. “You look kinda pale and angry right now. Did something happen?”

I ignored her and focused on the mate bond, trying to use it to track down Aqua's location. It shouldn't have been hard since female wolves were more susceptible to males' mating calls, especially alpha ones. But for some unknown reason, I

    GUNNAR The next hour...I was pacing back and forth outside the pack healer's house. After I brought Aqua to him, Wilder immediately pushed me out of the place, leaving me with no choice but to leave. Now that she was out of danger, my wolf retreated and remained quiet. I couldn't tell if he was appeased or ridden with guilt concerning Aqua's condition, but I was grateful for his decision to yield my body back to me. “Now's the time for you to tell me the truth, Gunnar,” Wilder said, crossing his arms as he stared at me. “Who the fuck is that girl?”“What are you talking about? I told you she's my daughter's nanny.” I replied. Hannah suddenly laughed. The shrill sound stopped me in my tracks, forcing me to face her. “It didn't look that way a few minutes, Gunnar. You were so protective and worried about her that you nearly bit my head off for suggesting that we ask the driver to take her to the hospital. Tell me the truth, is something going on between you and that girl?”Panic set

    AQUAGunnar was such a jerk!I was here with the pack healer receiving treatment, yet he growled at me like I was in the amusement park having fun. Everything that happened in the forest suddenly felt like a dream, one that I wished that I would never wake up from.I missed his tender touches, his warm eyes, and his faint smile when he looked at me. Now I couldn't tell if I had truly done something to piss him off this time or if he had always been this way. Tears prickled at the back of my eyes as I nodded obediently, walking past him after I bade River good-bye. Since we arrived at the Storm Fire Pack, he had become more moody and dictatorial, and I couldn't stand it. When I reached the car, I grabbed the door handle to open the door when a hand suddenly slammed it shut again. The next thing I knew, Gunnar turned me around and trapped me with his body. “What the fuck is wrong with you, Aqua?” Gunnar's handsome face twisted with anger as he faced me. “How dare you mute the mate bo

  • Capturing The Alpha King's Heart.    Meeting His Daughter, Fawn.

    AQUAWhen Gunnar told me he was going to take me to his daughter, I almost didn't believe him. After all, we had left the populated area of the pack and were now driving along a secluded road in the middle of a thick forest. Yet, I stubbornly held onto the bond, believing that he needed me more than I did for him. Gunnar didn't want a submissive Luna Queen, and from what I heard from the other wolves in the pack healer's house, he didn't have much time left. That's why I didn't want to deceive myself any longer. After spending some time with him in that forest, I found myself falling for him, and the knowledge alone scared me.I wasn't his type, and I knew I would never be. Men like him preferred strong and independent women like Hannah. He wanted someone who would contribute to his cause, not someone who always hid behind me and asked for his help. “Fawn is a very sensible child, but she can be quite hostile towards strangers.” Gunnar said. “Just don't take anything she says to h

    AQUAAfter we told Fawn the truth about our relationship, Gunnar gave me a small tour inside the house and showed me my room. The interior was indeed nice, giving a warm yet sophisticated and modern vibe that blended well with nature. However, the only thing that displeased me was the location of my room. “Why is it at the end of the hall?” I asked him. It's not like I wanted to sleep with him in his room because I didn't want to desecrate the lovely memory of his true mate, but there were several guest rooms between us, and that didn't sit well with me. Gunnar patiently explained. “Because Fawn's room is directly opposite mine. She's a bit sensitive towards sounds and always has a hard time falling asleep once she wakes up.”I bit my lips, wondering how to say the words that were on my mind. I didn't want to appear too forward since it might put him off, but it was the only reason why I was here in the first place. “But how would we be able to do it?”“Do what?” Gunnar's eyebrows

    AQUAAfter waiting for so long, I finally fell asleep while waiting for Gunnar. I had no qualms about his lateness since I had grown accustomed to it when I was seeing Leon. Most dominant males handled important tasks for the pack, like security, hunting, and even killing sometimes. When it was midnight, I woke up again feeling a bit hungry. Although I was reluctant to come out of my room because of Fawn, I remembered that I hadn't eaten anything since that pack healer's house. River was kind enough to feed me some croissants and coffee before healing me, but the food wasn't enough to keep me going for a whole day. After much deliberation, I decided to leave the room and search for some food. Fawn's room was closer to the end of the hallway, heading towards the living room and kitchen, but I figured she would be deep asleep by now. So I opened the door as quietly as I could and tiptoed along the hallway. The moon hanging over me illuminated the place, shining through the glass roof

  • Capturing The Alpha King's Heart.    Who's The Weak One Here? Me Or You?

    AQUA After what happened last night, I stayed in my room all day, hiding away from Gunnar and his daughter. I knew avoiding them was next to impossible since they were literally the owners of the house, but I really didn't want to see them after what Gunnar did. I spent all night in the bathroom, retching in horror after I confirmed that he really killed a woman in cold blood. He had every right to be furious about her hurting his child, but snapping her neck without any hesitation or remorse exposed me to the cold reality about him. Gunnar wasn't just a dangerous alpha. Last night had proved that he was also capable of being ruthless and decisive when he put his mind to it. And once he made up his mind, there wasn't anything on the planet that would change it. Not even me.The worst part was that after everything, he still hadn't come to check up on me. I waited all night, hoping that he would talk to me and explain what really happened, but it was all in vain. He just muted the

    GUNNARI sat in my seat in the meeting hall, my fingers tapping the oakwood table. The tension in the room was palpable, and the air conditioning did little to dispel the heat from the midday sun outside. All eyes were on me, but I maintained a distant expression as I pondered the judgment for the wolf standing before me.“Wait, you can't be fucking serious,” Baylor grumbled, disbelief etched on his face. “Don't tell me you are really gonna punish me because of a submissive bitch who just entered the pack?”The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees at his words, the air charged with danger. My wolf, who had been pacing in the recesses of my mind, paused, questioning if he had heard correctly.Wilder growled, his voice sharp as a blade. “Would you shut up? Do you even know who that woman is?”Baylor responded with a confused look, his eyes darting from the both of us. But I was already too pissed to care about his ignorance. No one in the pack knew about my daughter,

  • Capturing The Alpha King's Heart.    Settling Some Matters Within The Pack.

    GUNNARAfter my little talk with Wilder, I decided to stop by the pack healer's place. I received a call from River about a case concerning two women who had a catfight in the grocery store today. It shouldn't have been my business, except they unknowingly injured a little boy who had been walking behind them.That's when the sentries arrested them. Unfortunately, both of them were injured, so River had to heal them, and he called me instead.I parked my car in front of the house and came down, walking to the front porch. The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows through the trees as I walked, and the air had that crispness that hinted at the approach of autumn. As I stood in front of the pack healer's door, I could hear the females screaming, but none of them were stupid enough to start fighting physically with each other because they were at the healer's house.And everyone knew the sacred places; the priestess's temple, the pack healer's house, and the cubs' nursery.

    AQUAWhen I opened my eyes again, I found myself in my room. The curtains were already closed, and the lights above my head were dim. I leaned against the headboard, trying to gather the scattered fragments of my memory. My lessons...the orange juice...me falling unconscious. My heart hammered in my chest when I remembered that I was poisoned. Now it all made sense why my throat felt dry and itchy; also, it must be the reason why my body ached all over. Just when I was about to reach for my phone to call someone in, the door suddenly swung open with a loud thud. Ella stood at the door, holding a tray in her hand. “Your Highness!” She gasped, clearly surprised to see me awake. “I'm so glad that you have finally regained consciousness. You have no idea how worried we all were about you.”I watched her place the tray on the bedside drawer, revealing a bowl of soup. “Have the guards caught Hannah like I instructed?” I asked. Ella nodded. “Yes, they did. They managed to apprehend her

    AQUAWhen I vowed to myself that Hannah was going to pay for what she did, I truly meant it. That was why she was currently repeating a section of the rules, explaining it for the fourth time. I could tell she was about to lose her temper, but that was exactly what I wanted.I needed an excuse to make her pay for her actions. "That's enough," I interrupted her before she could repeat it for the seventh time. My ears were already aching, and the person I was waiting for had yet to arrive. "Why don't you go and fetch me some juice?"Hannah’s eyes blazed with indignation. "But you have maids waiting on you! Why the hell are you sending me?" She protested, her voice sharp and rising."Because serving the Luna Queen is an honor," I replied coolly. On a normal day, I took pleasure in reminding her that soon, I would become the most prestigious woman in the Wysteria continent. Today felt especially fitting for this reminder, as she appeared ready to explode.When she stubbornly refused to m

    AQUAWhat the hell was going on?My eyes shifted from my daughter to Odin, who was perched in one corner, looking unfazed by the chaos surrounding him. His presence made me cautious in reacting since I knew he would never have appeared if the situation hadn't been dire. However, there was also a problem with Fawn's naughty behavior that I had to deal with.So, I decided to ask the third person in the room. "What did you do to my daughter, Mrs. Lambert?" I bent down to pick up a torn book near me before stepping inside the room. The maids behind me immediately spread out and started arranging the place while I approached the tutor lying on the floor. “I-I didn't do anything wrong, Your Highness,” she replied. Before she could utter another word, Odin released a warning growl that reverberated throughout the room, making both of us flinch. Many possibilities raced through my mind when I heard her words. My first instinct was to believe her because Fawn had already been displeased by

    AQUAThey say to keep your friends close and keep your enemies even closer.At least, that was my belief until the moment Hannah arrived at my doorstep, her warm smile illuminating the dim hallway. As soon as Fawn learned that her beloved Aunt Hannah was back, she bolted down the stairs with excitement , rushing to greet her with open arms. A sharp pang of jealousy pierced my chest as I watched their affectionate reunion, the way Fawn’s face lit up with delight in Hannah’s presence. I felt a protective instinct surge within me, compelling me to step in."Fawn, it’s time for your lessons," I asserted, striving to maintain a steady and calm demeanor. My voice echoed through the foyer, firm yet measured. "You shouldn't keep your tutor waiting as you did last time."Fawn, her wide eyes filled with longing, turned to me, a protest bubbling on her lips. "But I want to speak to Aunt Hannah—""Fawn, don’t be stubborn now," I said, my tone sharpening as I placed my hands on my hips, unwavering

    AQUAShit. I stared at the glowing tattoo on my wrist, my breath hitching as Bodhi’s revelation sank in. The energy seared into my skin like molten fire. A sharp hiss slipped past my clenched teeth, my entire body taut with the overwhelming sensation flooding my veins.“B-But this...” I struggled for the right words for some time before settling for one disbelieving question. “How?”Bodhi shrugged cluelessly as he got up from his seat. At first, my body grew tense as he closed the distance between us, but then he simply unlocked the door and raised the curtains. “Maybe your wolf got upgraded because of its sincere desire to protect its mate,” Bodhi cocked his head to the side as he spoke. “Isn't that what dominant wolves do?”Yeah, he was right. Most of my frustration had stemmed from my wolf's restlessness and fear. It was she who was sure that something bad would happen, so she needed to see her mate before she went crazy. I was so caught up in the storm raging within me that I b

    AQUAI had only heard the news when I awoke from my sleep in the early hours of the morning. Gunnar was gone. I stared at my maids blankly, trying to digest the information I had just received on the bed. I was at the point where I didn't know if I should cry or just tear the entire place down in anger. So that was it? He just left without saying anything to me or his daughter? Not even a goodbye or a kiss?What the hell?Instead, I suppressed all my tumultuous feelings and asked. “Did he say when he was going to return?”The first maid shook her head before staring at the rest of her colleagues, silently asking if they knew anything other than the details she had just provided. When no one said anything, she shifted her weight from one foot to the other when she turned to me. “Well, he did say that you should meet Bodhi if you had any more questions,” she disclosed. “But he's not around right now. I heard he is in a meeting with the elders, and things are not looking good right n

    GUNNARWhen I finally returned to the party, some people were already saying their goodbyes and leaving. My pack members were doing a good job directing them to the pack guesthouse, where they could stay for the night. I stopped by one or two people to say a few parting words before I headed straight towards the stairs to search for my mate.As soon as I got to the top floor, I discovered that her scent was all over the place. My heart thrummed loudly against my ribcage as I scoured through each room down the hallway. I found her on the third attempt, next to my daughter on the king-sized bed, her delicate features softened by sleep. She held Fawn so close to her bosom like she was trying to protect her from something or someone.The sight tugged at my heart, squeezing it in a mixture of overwhelming love and longing. This was the family I had yearned for over the years, a family I thought I might never have after the loss of Tia eight years ago. As I stood there, watching them, I fel

At first, she kept struggling for her dear life, trying to escape, but my patience snapped when she drove her knees against my knees, so I knocked her out the next second.When we reached our destination, I dropped her on the cold earth with a dull thud. The rough impact jolted her awake. I folded my arms as I watched her struggle to regain clarity of the situation. "Rise and shine, Diane," I said.Diane looked left and right around her surroundings before she turned to me. "Where the hell am I?" she asked, trembling. "Why did you bring me to this place?"I folded my arms and replied. "Well, I thought since it's been a long time since you have been to the pack, you would want to meet your dear friend," I paused, letting my words sink in. "You guys must have a lot to talk about, right?"Diane screamed when she turned around and saw my wife's g

    AQUAAs I continued to face the crowd, I could feel Fawn trying to yank her hand back, but I didn't let her go. Letting her go wasn’t an option after everything that had just happened. Truthfully, she had caused enough trouble right now, and the last thing I wanted was for someone to find out her true identity. Fortunately, the kid was smart and didn't even try to refute my claim over her. “So you had a child out of wedlock?” The Luna questioned. The curiosity in her voice was quite obvious, but there was something about her tone that rubbed me the same way.I lifted my chin defiantly. “Yes, I did. Is there something wrong with it?”The crowd started murmuring amongst themselves when they heard my words. I was a bit confused about why they were giving me strange looks, but I pretended not to care. “You must not have been informed properly, Aqua, but the requirements for a female wolf to ascend the throne as the Luna Queen are quite clear,” she said. “A female wolf must be a virgin
