Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Say Yes, Aqua.
AQUA After the introduction ritual was completed, Gunnar stepped back, waiting for the rest of the pack to welcome me to the pack. But none of them moved, not a single one. The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward as they stared at me, their looks distant and cold. I could understand the dominants' reactions towards me, but the submissives... Even the submissive wolves didn't seem to want to have anything to do with me, and I couldn't imagine why. Confusion twisted in my stomach as I tried to fathom the depth of their rejection. I felt utterly exposed and vulnerable. The open disdain was like a hot knife slicing through my chest, each look a painful reminder of my unwelcomeness. Gunnar stiffened when he saw the scene, but he didn't move one bit. Their obvious rejection felt like a hot knife slicing through my chest, but my mate did nothing to change the situation. He simply crossed his arms and watched, staring at the people with an emotionless expression. Tears slowly blurred my vi

GUNNARShe said yes to River.The thought replayed in my mind as I watched her converse with my pack healer. Though I was the one who encouraged her to make such a decision, I hadn't expected her to heed my words but she had actually agreed to go on a date with him. My wolf was furious at both of us, but most of his anger was directed at me for letting such a thing happen.But what could I have done?Aqua might have thought she had done a good job of hiding it, but I had caught her staring at him multiple times in secret. Her face lit up like a Christmas tree whenever he was around, and she seemed more carefree with him than with me. As a submissive wolf, it was apparent that his constant acts of kindness had moved her, and River had proven his manliness with his courage, standing up for her in front of the entire pack. But she had no fucking idea how difficult it was for me to endure such a scene. When the pack members refused to welcome her, my wolf's emotions almost overwhelmed

GUNNARWilder and I walked into the room where we met the alphas almost tearing their throats out. In fact, they would have probably done so if their Betas were not holding them apart with all their might. I scanned the room, taking in all the damage they had caused. A fresh new wave of frustration and anger swelled in me when I saw the place, my heart tearing for the effort and money it had taken to renovate this side of the meeting hall last month.But this was just one of the many cons of being the Alpha King. Not only did I suffer the risk of getting my properties damaged, but I also had to deal with unreasonable, crazy alphas almost every week. There were more than fifty packs located on the Wysteria continent, excluding the minor packs that preferred to live quietly. The problem was the major packs, which always fought with each other over insignificant issues such as pack boundaries, business deals, and even pack ranking. My responsibility was to keep them in check and ensure t

AQUAAfter Gunnar and the other dominant wolves left, I found myself alone with the submissive wolves of the Storm Fire Pack. I was sure they had all witnessed the scene where River hugged me and the moment Gunnar came to my aid. It was hard to read their expressions, so I kept to myself. Then, someone approached me."Um, hello?" A young woman in her early twenties greeted me. She was an attractive female with orange flame-colored hair styled in a half-bun and freckles sprinkled across her face. "I'm Kianna," she introduced herself. I quickly shot to my feet, swiping my hands on my dress before shaking her outstretched hand. She seemed to be a first-tier submissive wolf, as I found it difficult to hold her gaze. "I'm Aqua. Nice to meet you," I replied."Yeah, I know," she grinned, revealing her bunny teeth. "You just had your introduction ceremony an hour ago, remember?" I wasn't used to such friendly interactions, so I quickly lowered my head, my apology spilling out in a rush. "I

AQUAHannah wanted to...meet with me?After parting ways with Kianna, I took a taxi to the café where Kianna told me she would be waiting. My heart was pounding loudly in my ears when the vehicle finally stopped in front of the café.But it was just a meeting. So why were my legs trembling?I paid the taxi driver and faced the café. I felt like I had run a marathon to get here, yet there was a cold chill running down my back. I wondered if I should make up some excuse and return but I knew from experience that it wasn't the best solution.I took a deep breath, mustering every ounce of courage I had, and pushed open the door to the bustling café. The warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee surrounded me, mingling with the chatter of lively conversations. Despite the vibrant atmosphere, I found it difficult to spot Hannah among the customers.Just as I was beginning to feel overwhelmed, a familiar voice called out to me from above, cutting through the noise. "Hey, Aqua! Over here!" she wave

AQUAI returned to Gunnar's house in the evening, completely exhausted by the day's activities. My feet were sore, and my brain was screaming for rest, as I stepped into the house barefoot. The cab driver refused to take me to the forest once he heard my destination, claiming that no one was allowed to venture there without Gunnar's permission, so I had to walk through the forest all alone.Once I was in, I went straight to the stairs, eager to lay on my bed when I heard a pair of voices arguing with each other.It was Gunnar and his daughter, Fawn.I should have probably minded my business and walked away. After all, they made it very clear that I was simply a guest living in their house so I didn't want to get into trouble by butting into their private affairs.But then, Fawn screamed, her voice piercing through the air."I'm not the one at fault! All I did was say the truth!" she cried, half-defiant, half-pained. "Aqua is not my mother, and she can never replace her!"I froze at th
Last Updated : 2025-01-12Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Rejecting Her Mate?
GUNNARAfter convincing Fawn to keep my secret about Aqua, I realized it was time to address the issue with River once and for all. At this rate, she was going to get all of us in trouble, so I needed to stop her before she did something stupid like getting cozy with my pack healer. My wolf had been on edge since we arrived in the pack, largely because we hadn't initiated any physical contact with our mate. Deep down, I almost wished we hadn't left that damn forest because everything between us had felt good back there. Now, it felt like we were back to square one. In fact, we were even worse than strangers, and I hated it. She had her issues, and I had mine. In the past, I hadn't been willing to work on our relationship, but now I was ready to try if it meant getting my life back in order.I didn't notice she had returned to the house until I reached the stairs with Fawn. Her scent lingered there, suggesting she had been there for quite some time, and that made me panic for some un
Last Updated : 2025-01-12Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Sneaking To The Pack Healer's Place.
AQUAI woke up feeling refreshed, but the memories that lingered in my mind left me feeling depressed and sad. My wolf kept scolding me for rejecting Gunnar the night before, but I refused to listen until morning.She was right. What was I thinking, rejecting the Alpha King in such a crude manner? What if he got angry and decided to kill me?With that thought in mind, I locked the door and stayed indoors, knowing that no one would check on me anyway. By noon, I decided to sneak out of the house and visit the pack healer.When River saw me, his face lit up with pleasant surprise. "Aqua, what are you doing here?" He scanned me from head to toe, as if making sure I was okay, then removed his gloves and tossed them into the trash can."I just wanted to see you for a bit," I admitted, scratching the back of my neck awkwardly. This had seemed like a good idea when I formulated my plan, but now that I was here, I felt uncertain. I came here because of the comforting aura he possessed to calm

Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. His Return to The Pack.
GUNNAR The sun was high in the sky when we finally reached the boundary of the Storm Fire pack. My men were exhausted from the heat, their bodies glistening with sweat after fighting off a pack of hyenas lingering near the territory. I could sense their fatigue through the pack link but chose not to acknowledge it. I wasn't trying to be ruthless; I knew their job wasn't unfinished. As soon as I stepped into the forest that marked our pack territory, I sensed something was wrong. The weapons the patrols were carrying were not the standard gear I had approved for pack security, which likely meant my family was in danger.I held up my hand to warn my men, who were trudging right behind me. The noise instantly faded into silence as tension seeped into the air. We watched the patrols head towards our location as we concealed ourselves behind the trees.Even their uniforms were different, I noticed when my eyes landed on a badge on one of the men's shirts. At this point, I was starting to

AQUAWhen we returned to the pack, Wilder took us straight to the Kincaid mansion, where the elders were already waiting. My stomach twisted as I climbed the stairs, flanked by guards, every step heavier than the last.Their eyes followed me like a shadow, and the fact that I sensed it made me even more nauseous. These were the same familiar faces that had stood in my living room just two weeks ago, offering smiles, congratulations on my engagement, and pledging undying loyalty to the Alpha King. Now, they sat cold and silent, the weight of their betrayal hanging in the air like a storm about to break.They’d all chosen Nathaniel.And that meant Gunnar’s throne…was no longer safe."What, are you surprised that we got the elders on our side?" Wilder released a low chuckle after he noticed my glare. "Don't be, darling. You'd be surprised at how dissatisfied they have been with your mate's way of doing things."At that moment, I was barely restraining myself from punching him in the fac
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Seeking Help From The Pack Healer.
AQUA After Saint's death, Odin led Fawn and me to the pack boundary, the weight of our grief hanging heavily in the air. We journeyed for an entire day under a dense canopy of trees without taking a single break. Sunlight filtered through the tree, casting a path over me and my stepdaughter.I nearly stumbled over a root but managed to catch myself before I hit the ground. However, the sudden impact jolted Fawn awake, so I mumbled a soft apology before adjusting her to my body. Despite everything, the wolf didn't stop and continued to walk ahead of us. With each step, I could sense the exhaustion radiating from the wolf beside us, his powerful frame still trembling from the ferocity of that intense fight. He must have been devastated about the loss of his brother, yet he continued to push himself to complete the mission given to him. As we moved deeper into the woods, the air grew thick and rich with the scent of damp earth and pine, grounding yet unsettling. The guards had stopped
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. The Pain and Rage Left Behind.
GUNNARI was several miles away from the Storm Fire pack when I felt it.The pain. The sorrow. The fury.All these feelings struck my heart like a tempest, consuming my senses until I couldn't think anymore. My heart felt so constricted that I couldn't stand anymore, causing me to fall on one knee. When my men saw this, they immediately rushed towards me in concern, but I stopped them with my raised hand. They must have been so shocked they couldn't control their emotions because I felt all their fears crash into my heart.Was it possible they were almost scared to death because of my sudden fall?No, that wasn't it. The general sense of unease spread among the soldiers, making them jittery. I pushed myself to stand, my legs trembling as they bore my weight against the unseen burden pressing down on my heart. Then, a piercing howl sliced through the heavy air, sharp and haunting, reverberating off the trees and sending a chill down my spine. Others might not know where it came from, b
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. The Fall Of A Powerful Wolf.
AQUAThe first time I heard about hunter wolves was when I was in the Wind Ridge Pack. They were used to hunt a notorious thief who had broken into Julie's house one summer. The news spread across the pack in less than four hours, mostly because they didn't give us a choice to accept it or not. But if there was one thing I learned back then, it was that those people were ruthless. The kind of people capable of doing anything as long as they captured their prey. Some said they did it because they didn't have any other choice, considering the tight competition in the business. But others said they were psychos, people who enjoyed seeing the pain they inflicted on others. That's why I knew we were in deep shit now. The hunter wolf inhaled, breathing in the cool night air that was faint with our scents. It's the very reason why I had chosen to stay up in the trees, holding that the harsh wind current would mask our scents. But he still catches it nonetheless. “Their scents are still

AQUAOnce I heard the noise from the living room, I pushed Fawn into the kitchen and locked the door. The air was thick with tension, and our ragged breaths broke the eerie silence that enveloped the room. My heart raced as we waited, straining to hear the sounds from the other side of the door. But then, a sharp scream pierced through the air, followed by a series of female cries that sent a fresh wave of panic through me."Shut the fuck up!" Nathaniel barked. When the women's cries were finally reduced to frightened sobs, he muttered some words to the guards before turning to them. "I have no intention to hurt you, but if you don't tell me where Aqua and that little devil spawn are right now, then all of you are going to pay dearly for your silence."Ella remained unfazed by his threat. "But we are telling the truth! No one saw where Her Highness went after she gave us orders to search for her daughter."Nathaniel ignored her and continued to speak to the other ladies, but none of t

AQUAHogan froze midstep when he heard my words. The six-foot, muscular blonde man who had been cooking for Gunnar for over ten years gave me the most sinister look I have ever received. I couldn't help but retreat when I saw him take a menacing step towards me."You're not supposed to be here, Your Highness," he said, cracking his knuckles. "Does anyone know you're here?""I don't need to report to anyone about whereabouts because this is my house," I asserted, my voice sharp and clear. I noticed he had already retracted his claws so I did the same. "What were you doing in the kitchen storage room?"It was the only place we hadn't checked in the house, mostly because Hogan had always been sensitive about letting people in. He would spend the entire day talking about food contamination so I guess all of us were just subconsciously afraid of getting on his bad side.But now, it turned out that he was the traitor we had been looking for."Move aside, Hogan," I ordered. The air in the ro

AQUANow it was 8 pm.The angry mob and the elders were still outside the house, looking for a way to get in. They tried everything they could, but the house's defenses were top-notch, designed with the latest technology, so I knew we were going to be safe.For now."Has anyone heard from Bodhi? Anything?" I asked, my desperate eyes scanning the staff in the house. Due to the chaos happening outside, no one had gone home yet, so they were forced to stay with us.Ella, who had been quiet since she entered the house, finally spoke when she heard me. "I just received a message that he was deployed to fight the rogue wolves trying to evade our borders. He left with most of the sentinels, so there were no reinforcements when our guards were attacked," she explained.My head started pounding as I tried to think of a solution to solve the situation. I knew it was only a matter of time before these people came up with a plan to infiltrate the house that actually worked this time, and then we

AQUAMy heart dropped when I heard her words. It felt like I was torn between disbelief and the panic that had risen in my chest. But of course, it all made sense now. If that old woman were alive and healthy, she would have never let this angry mob assemble to harm her only great-granddaughter. “She's dead?” I repeated dumbly. The pack priestess was supposed to be my reserve plan to suppress these people, but her unexpected death was something that I also intended to take advantage of. “Why haven't we held a funeral yet? Why hasn't an announcement been made?”At that moment, someone from the crowd suddenly spoke. “Who the hell would mourn that old witch?! She deserves what she got!”A flash of red passed my eyes when I heard his words. I wasn't her biggest fan, but she was still Fawn's family. I couldn't imagine how devastated she would be when she found out she was gone. I closed my eyes to control my emotions before facing the crowd again."According to the laws of the pack, there
