AQUAGunnar froze after hearing my words. I could tell he was struggling to process the words that I had spoken, but then he clenched his fists. “You must be joking,” he said, his gaze so intense they nearly burned a hole through my figure. “What does Hannah have to do with this? She's been nothing but nice to you.”I shook my head. “No, she's been bullying and threatening me all this while, so I want her gone.”Gunnar fell silent. He kept staring at me, his eyes holding so much intensity and aura that my knees nearly buckled. I could only hold his gaze for two whole minutes before I redirected my gaze to the floor underneath me. “Tell me everything,” he finally demanded. So I told him everything from the beginning. The time Hannah asked me to be her spy. The time she forced me to stay in my room because she wanted to spend some quality time with him and Fawn. The time she ordered me to lose the match to Gladys. After saying all of these, I thought it would be enough to win him ov
AQUAMy eyes rolled to the back of my head as I screamed in agony. Baylor gave me another slap on the same cheeks, sending me to the floor once again. In the background, I could hear Kianna begging him to stop, but he continued to rain down kicks on my body. Instinctively, I curled my body to withstand his attacks, but I could feel every bone of my body giving under the weight of his boot. Out of desperation, Kianna lunged herself at him with her claws out.But Baylor was a dominant wolf, created with superior strength and speed. He caught her easily midway in the air, his hand wrapped around her throat. She flailed helplessly in his grip, trying to strike him with her claws. “You better not try anything funny, Kianna,” he warned her, his voice edged with cruel amusement. His eyes held a menacing glint, as if he couldn't wait to deal with us the way he wanted. Then he threw her on the floor, leaving her gasping for breath, and turned to me. Instinctively, I recoiled from his grip,
GUNNARAqua... just confessed her feelings to me. I was struck with complex emotions as I watched her lose consciousness in my arms. I immediately pulled her close, trusting my wolf to reach deep in the mate bond that was so muted I could barely sense its low, thrumming presence. In that moment, all I wanted to do was open the mate bond. I knew I could do it. I could heal her and wake her from her unconscious state. The thought of not seeing her beautiful blue eyes or her adorable smile almost drove me to madness. I couldn't bear to lose her. I didn't want to. “Everyone, leave.” I ordered, my wolf climbing to the surface. With the state of my emotions, I knew it was only a matter of time before he overpowered me, pushing me to the backseat of our consciousness. “Guard the area. Make sure that no one comes within the mile radius.”The sentinels instantly chorused. “Yes, Your Majesty!”I barely held on a little longer to watch them live before giving up to my wolf. The transformati
GUNNAR Two hours later, I called for a pack meeting, summoning only the elders and the other high-ranking members of the pack.I stated the time of the meeting clearly, but it seemed that most of them barely managed to arrive in time, while the rest were nowhere to be seen. Nathaniel and his son were absent, along with the elders who were loyal to him. I observed the meeting hall through the eyes of my wolves standing at strategic positions surrounding the building. Leaving Aqua in her state was difficult for me, but since I promised her that I was going to give her an explanation, then that's exactly what I was going to do.After waiting for another thirty minutes, I placed Aqua in my bedroom and left some instructions for my daughter before I left the house. Just as I was about to get into my car, another car suddenly arrived in front of my house. My jaw tightened when I saw Hannah stepping out of the car and walking towards me with fast, hurried steps. Before I could say anythi
GUNNARAs I parked my car near the meeting hall, I stopped to check if the people I had been waiting for had arrived. However, their absence could already be sensed by the lack of cars in the parking lot. But I reined in my anger and entered the building, my boots hitting the asphalt with purpose. Once my secretary saw me, she immediately shot to her feet, her posture rigid as she paid her respects. “Y-Your Majesty,” she greeted, her voice trembling. “Y-You are finally here. I have been waiting—”I cut her off, my patience reaching its limits. “Announce me.” My secretary blinked once to process my orders fully, and then she walked towards the door to announce me. “His Majesty is here!”As I walked into the room, a sudden hush fell over the entire place, expelling the previous noise. The people present were mostly elders who had nothing to do with the case and the pack priestess who was here to make sure the chaos happened to a minimal degree. They bowed their heads towards me as
GUNNARNathaniel and his sons knelt down in front of me, their faces scrunched in pain. They must have all forgotten about their beasts' instinct to submit to the most powerful wolf in the pack. I reveled in their unwilling deposition, their human minds warring against the undeniable law of nature.Pathetic creatures.With slow, measured steps, I stood before Nathaniel, observing him. His entire forehead was covered with large beads of sweat, yet he still managed the calm deposition of a head elder. “Now that your third son is out of the way, let's talk about the important matters we need to discuss...” I said, staring down at him. “...the first one being the question about what audacity you had to arrive after me. Did you hit your head somewhere today?”Nathaniel's lips remained shut even though his entire body was trembling from head to toe. I commanded him. “Speak.”“N-No, Your Majesty,” he sputtered. I narrowed my eyes at him, my voice growing darker. “Do I look like your fuckin
AQUAI felt like I woke up from a dream. A very bad dream. When I finally woke up, I blinked a couple of times to make sure I wasn't dead before I tried out other subtle movements to check if I was still able to move. My muscles felt tight and sore, making me wince from the actions. I summoned the strength to sit up and placed my feet on the cold, tiled floor. The moment I tried to stand, a wave of dizziness enveloped me, forcing me to collapse back onto the bed with a soft thud. As I lay there, my eyes began to wander around the room, searching for information about my surroundings. It felt both strange and oddly familiar. The decor was minimalist, yet it held a certain warmth. The walls were occupied by the presence of luxurious furs that adorned the space. Rich fur mats covered the floor, plush fur blankets draped gracefully over the furniture, and the bedsheets were a soft, inviting layer that promised warmth and comfort. From what I could tell, this was Gunnar's room. My he
AQUAAfter hearing the entire situation of the pack, I was so speechless and shocked that I turned speechless. According to what I heard from Kianna, Gunnar had transformed into the incarnation of a demon king. He now meted out his punishments with a cold, precise practicality and the news of his sudden change of behavior was spreading fast across the other packs. “So where is he now?” I asked, nervousness sinking into my chest. If I could just locate him, I was sure that I would be able to talk some sense into him. Kianna replied. “He's on a royal tour right now. From what I heard the ladies speaking, a total of five alphas have died recently after his visit.”I buried my face into my hands, my eyes closing from despair. “Oh, dear goddess.”After hearing everything, I couldn't help but think that's it was my fault. Gunnar's wolf must have panicked about my condition and gone crazy. My biggest fear was pushing him into a rogue state that would ultimately lead to his death.And then,
AQUAI knew I was making a foolish decision to enter the heart of the pack once again, but I had no choice since that was where Gunnar had chosen to stay for the time being. Thinking about Fawn, I couldn't help but worry how she was faring without her father watching over her. Although she was a spoiled, selfish brat who had caused me problems so many times, I couldn't forget that she was just a child. That's why I intended to speak to Gunnar about these matters once and for all. When the cab pulled up in front of the meeting hall, I paid the driver with the spare change I’d grabbed from the counter and stepped inside. The moment I crossed the threshold, I froze. The interior was unrecognizable, transformed into something cold and unsettling. A shiver ran down my spine.Who in their right mind would request an audience with the Alpha King in this place?“Excuse me!” a voice called out. As I continued to examine the place, a hand suddenly tapped my shoulder, causing me to turn around
AQUAA week later..."Excuse me, may I book a reservation for massage therapy next week?"I suppressed a smile when Kinna replied to the customer in her soft, demure voice. I had already told her the minimum number of customers we should take daily for our new business, but it seemed she also had a difficult time refusing the people who requested our services.Our business was only a week old, yet we were already having more customers than expected. After taking a stroll through the pack, I realized Kianna had been underestimating the degree of hatred the people there had for me. I still didn't know what rumors Hannah had spread against me, but everyone I saw kept giving me hostile looks, so I quickly abandoned the plan I had in mind.I knew I needed to find a job after leaving Gunnar's house and returning his credit card. The problem was that no one was willing to hire me, and I couldn't risk venturing out of the Storm Fire pack since submissive wolves were often victims of rape and
AQUAAfter meeting Gunnar last night, he took me to another house in the center of the pack and left me there. It was a house that was once occupied by the previous alpha of the Storm Fire pack, but Gunnar refused to stay there after he was appointed. I guess it was because of Tia, who had been hiding her identity as a rogue wolf, and now his daughter, whom the pack wasn't aware of.I waited patiently for him to return, but he never returned that night. The next morning, Gunnar finally returned to the house during the early hours when I was sleeping. I felt light taps on my body, causing me to open my eyes to see a young woman staring at me."Hello!" she greeted me with a bright smile. "I see you are finally awake. Gunnar is waiting for you in the living room."When I heard her words, I stopped rubbing my eyes and darted towards the door. But the lady appeared again, blocking my path with her arms spread wide."I think it would be best if you freshen up first," she advised, her tone l
