Capturing 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

AQUAWhen River offered to take me somewhere, the last place I expected him to go was to the forest behind my mate's house. My feet refused to move the moment we reached the tree line, refusing to move any farther. River stopped a few steps ahead, turning back to me, a flicker of concern softening his features.“Is something wrong?” he asked, concern glazing over his features. I gulped nervously, wondering what I should say. Gunnar had repeatedly warned me not to expose Fawn's identity, and the last thing I wanted was to get on his bad side today. I didn't know if his daughter left the house often, but I could only imagine that she would sneak out at least once in a while to avoid suffocating in there.I lowered my gaze, focusing on the steady ground underneath my feet. “C-Can I ask what we’re doing here?” I stammered. “T-This is the Alpha King’s property… y-you know that, right?”River nodded casually. “Yeah, I know.” His soft chuckle faded when he noticed how tense I was. His expr
Last Updated : 2025-01-14Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. River's Sincere Confession.
AQUA I quickly sprang to my feet when I saw Fawn and chased after her quickly disappearing figure, leaving River behind. He called out to me, his voice laced with confusion, but I paid him no attention as I pursued my mate's daughter.For a blind kid, she was remarkably swift and agile, maneuvering through the forest with ease. It was clear that she had the advantage of knowing the landscape, but her speed was still inferior to mine. I eventually caught up to her and blocked her path. Fawn instantly skidded to a stop when she sensed my sudden arrival. "We need to talk," I panted, my chest rising and falling rapidly. Looking at Fawn, I quickly straightened my back upon noticing how composed she appeared after such a long run. I guessed she was right about calling me weak because my lungs felt like they were on fire, despite the short chase.Fawn folded her arms defiantly and replied, "We have nothing to talk about." "What you saw is nothing," I explained, desperation creeping into m

GUNNARThe following days passed, each one worse than the previous, according to my wolf. He was in a terrible mood after Aqua's rejection, which also affected my mood too. To cope, I focused all my attention on the affairs of the pack. On the first day, I concentrated on strengthening security by conducting intensive training for the sentries guarding our territory. On the second day, I decided to watch over the young wolves in the pack and supervise their activities. On the third day, the elders summoned me. "I think you should go on a retreat," Nathaniel, my head elder, suggested after a morning pack run. "It will do you and your wolf good to spend some time alone. Just leave the work to your Beta for now." I struggled not to smile at his crafty suggestion, probably out of a desire to spare him some embarrassment. Leaning back in my seat, I replied, "I take it that your son has not yet told you the truth." "What do you mean?" Nathaniel questioned, his brow furrowing in confus
Last Updated : 2025-01-16Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Taking Her To The Movies.
AQUA A week later...I walked to the full-length mirror with two dresses, each one in my hand. I compared each one against my skin, contemplating what I should wear this evening. Because tonight was finally the night River would be taking me out to the movies. A swirl of anxiety and anticipation churned in my stomach. I sighed, letting both dresses fall onto the bed in a soft heap. My eyes drifted toward the other outfit I had laid out. Although I had Gunnar's card to cover all my expenses, it didn't feel right for me to use when I was going out with another man. Fortunately, I still had some savings I kept before I left the Wind Ridge Pack. The door creaked open without warning.Fawn stepped inside, her small hand gripping the doorknob while the other leaned heavily on her walking cane. She paused at the doorway, and an uneasy flicker crossed my face as I moved toward her."Fawn," I murmured gently, announcing myself before reaching out to her. "What are you doing here? I though

AQUAWhen we finally reached the theater, River asked me to go to the entrance first before he steered the car towards the parking lot. After his failed attempt to kiss me, River became more subdued and quiet, only responding to my questions when asked. Eventually, his stunted silence also affected my mood, causing me to fall silent. As I stood at the large entrance of the theater, my mind wandered to Gunnar once again. I wondered what he was doing and where he had suddenly gone, but obviously, he didn't deem it important to share any information with me. My wolf yearned to be her stubborn mate, but after hearing that his desire was to get rid of me, I suppressed myself so I wouldn't be a burden. Gunnar was someone with great responsibilities, so I didn't dare delude myself about him caring about me. Still, it would have been nice if he had told me about where he was going. As I was engrossed with my thoughts, I didn't notice when River appeared by my side. He bumped his shoulders

AQUAThe night sky was filled with countless stars surrounding the bright moon. A cold breeze swept through the air, brushing against my skin, but its chill did little to soothe the growing anxiety knotting in my stomach. River also remained silent when he drove me back home, but I could tell from the car's speed that he was also worried about why Gunnar had summoned me back home.When we finally reached the forest entrance, River finally parked the car and turned off the engine. He turned to me, his deep, concerned eyes locking onto mine, and reached out to take my hand in his warm hands. “Are you sure you don’t want me to accompany you?” he asked once again, his voice heavy with concern.Oh, dear moon goddess. The truth was I wanted him to come with me because I was terrified of facing Gunnar alone. But I wasn't sure I could forgive myself if River got hurt because of me.I shook my head and summoned a weak smile. "Nah, I got this covered. Thank you for the date, it was wonderful."

AQUA“It's time I taught you the importance of the mate bond!”His words echoed in my ears, amplifying the fear in my heart. Gunnar's expression was cold and unyielding, but I couldn't find a way to overpower him. His hand disappeared under my skirt, and I could feel the roughness of his hand gliding against my ass. “Please, don't do this, Gunnar.” I pleaded, tears burning down my cheeks.He grabbed my breasts and squeezed, ignoring my pleas. A pained gasp tore out of my throat, my back arching out. I twisted my body, trying to escape from his grip. “Don't move,” he warned. I froze when I felt his extended claws pressing against my skin. I was so scared that he would hurt me, but my wolf urged me to trust him. Because he was my mate, and he would never do anything bad to us. I wanted to trust him. I desperately wanted to, so I forced my trembling body to relax against his, my muscles loosening against his. One of Gunnar's hands moved down my body and felt my bare pussy. My lips p

Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. As Long As We're Together, Right?
GUNNARAfter I dropped Hannah at her house, I decided to go home to keep my mind busy. For the first time in a long while, my best friend actually cried in the car after I told her off. My wolf was slightly irritated by her insistent sniffs because he thought she was only pretending to get my attention. But I couldn't help feeling like an ass. After all, it wasn't every day I made two women cry in the span of an hour. Both women wanted my attention and love, but the only thing I could think about was how to spend some time with my daughter. It wasn't that I didn't value them. The problem was that I just wanted to clear my mind a bit. So I returned home and met my daughter in her room, drawing on her bed. I wanted to surprise her, so I instantly slowed my speed. I dropped to my knees and crawled towards the bed, my knees scraping against the rug as I approached my prey. My daughter was happily humming to a song on her phone, her legs swinging as she painted on the bed. Once I was p
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Get Rid Of Those Feelings Quickly.
GUNNARMy fists balled into fists as I walked out of the meeting hall. The image of Aqua's tear-streaked face, when she stood outside my office, was etched on my brain like an oil stain. It was so fucking difficult to get rid of it, especially when those pretty blue eyes which used to look at me with adoration suddenly held disappointment and pain in them.I was overwhelmed by the burden of her pain, the memory of her quivering lip, and the way her shoulders had slumped as if the weight of the world had pressed down upon them. In her eyes, I was the one who abandoned her when she needed me the most, and I knew she would never forgive me for it.“Damn it!” I cursed, my claws unsheathing from my skin as I paused mid-step. Hannah, who had been by my side, immediately flinched at my growl. Her wide eyes darted from me to my claws, her hands clutching her chest. When she spotted a few onlookers frozen in place, their curiosity piqued, she quickly pasted a practiced smile across her lips a
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Believe In Me, Please.
AQUAAdmit defeat?!Never!“I can't,” I murmured, fear gripping my chest. I didn't want to. This was my chance to prove myself to Gunnar and the rest of the pack that I wasn't worthless, but she wanted me to embarrass myself in front of the pack?I was never going to let that happen. “What did you just say?” Hannah asked, taking a step towards me. I could sense her intimidating aura directed towards me, causing me to flinch. But Gunnar's secretary immediately shot to her feet and shielded herself with her body. Hannah's glare shifted to her as she spoke. “What the hell do you think you are doing, Violet?”“I'm sorry for the interruption, Miss Christensen, but His Majesty has repeatedly decreed that no one is allowed to harass a submissive wolf—” “Who told you such nonsense, Violet?” Hannah smiled, her voice sugary sweet. “Aqua and I are just having a small talk. Aren't we, Aqua?”I bit my lower lip to stop myself from playing along with her sick games. Her eyes clearly warned me no
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Forfeit the Challenge?!
AQUA“I accept!”My words echoed in the room, eliciting gasps of shock as people stared at me. At this time, Kianna and her friends had already reached the parking lot when they heard me. I noticed a lot of them were looking at me like I was crazy, but I wasn't. Maybe I was just getting desperate in forcing Gunnar to publicly recognize me as his mate. “You accept?” Gladys repeated, her eyes slightly narrowed. It was obvious that she simply wanted to intimidate me with her so-called challenge. But then, she never expected that we would be at the same level. If she knew the truth, I figured she would never have said such a thing, but it was too late. I wanted to fight her too. “Yes,” I said firmly, ignoring the weight of the crowd’s stares. My wolf stirred within me, sensing my determination. “Why don’t you choose a date and time so we can settle this once and for all?”“You really think you can beat me?” Gladys asked, her voice dripping with disdain. I guessed everyone thought the
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. “I Challenge You To A Duel!”
AQUA“What the hell, Gladys?” River snarled as he pulled me behind him. When Gladys tried to lunge at me again, he released a low growl rumbling through his chest. It was enough to stop her mid-way, so he continued. “Is that what Tristan told you? Because it's not true! He's one who tried to force himself on Aqua!”Gladys asked, her voice filled with disbelief. “And is there any witness to prove this claim? We both know that this bitch here has a knack for going after mated men!”Her words hit me like a blow, knocking the air out of me. Shame curled in my chest as I stood there, watching her attack me with the words that hurt me the most.Everyone was so quick to judge me for one stupid mistake, but they had all forgotten how young I was. I was barely 16 when Leon wooed me with his sweet words and actions. No one had any idea how much I regretted meeting that man, but I didn't want to regret the feelings I once had for him. “...you better watch your fucking mouth when you speak, Glad
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Gunnar's Mad!
AQUAI had no idea how it happened. As soon as the object fell, it struck my head with a sharp crack, and pain immediately exploded across my skull. I stumbled backwards from the impact, and then a fresh wave of dizziness washed over me, causing me to sway until I felt a large, solid chest behind me. “Don't worry, Aqua. I've got you,” River murmured, wrapping his arms around me. I knew he was trying to steady me, but a low growl suddenly rumbled in the room, making me freeze. Gunnar. The sound was low and menacing, vibrating like the warning snarl of a wolf before it pounces. He rose abruptly from his seat, his movements sharp and precise, and without hesitation, he hurled another wooden statue across the room.The female elder didn’t stand a chance. The statue struck her squarely, and she crumpled to the ground, motionless.Everyone in the room watched in shocked silence and then turned to Gunnar, who looked completely furious. Even the man with grey hair didn't dare speak as he
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. The Mediation Meeting.
GUNNARThey must be fucking crazy. Once some of the pack witnessed what happened in the valley, the elders immediately summoned me for a mediation meeting. That's what they told me, but I knew they were here to demand an explanation from me. So I went to the meeting hall and waited for River to finish healing Tristan's leg. But unfortunately, River appeared a few seconds later with a grim expression. "I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do,” River explained. “His tibia was crushed to pieces, so even if I do heal him right now, he will be...”“What would happen to him?” one of the elders questioned, his voice filled with anxiety.River grimaced. “Well, he'll be a cripple for the rest of his life. I'm sorry, I really tried my best, but—”“Do you see what you've done, Gunnar?!” The elder slammed the table as she faced me. Her face was livid with rage as she spoke. “Tell us, why the hell did you deform my grandson?! You better have a good reason for this, or else—”“Or else what?” I r
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Please Let Me Go, Tristan!
AQUA“Me?” I asked, my voice quavering. From the moment I met Tristan during my introduction ceremony, I decided to stay away from all the dominant males in the pack. The guy gave me and my wolf the creeps when he first introduced himself to me. And there was the fact that he was Gladys's mate, so I wished to avoid him as much as possible. Tristan turned his head slightly, as if to check the room, then fixed his sharp gaze on me with a smile that made my stomach churn. “Is there anyone else here named Aqua?”My words caught in my throat when I caught Kianna shaking her head subtly. She was trying to warn me not to offend him, and from my previous interaction with him, I could tell he was someone who was not used to being rejected. “I'll get going now,” Kianna announced, her voice light but deliberate. Once she walked past me, her fingers brushed mine for a second, quietly reassuring me. I released a sigh once she was gone and perfunctorily lowered my gaze onto the floor. I hoped h
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. The Rumors In The Pack.
AQUAWhen I abandoned Gunnar and River back in the forest, I had no idea where I was going. All I could think about at that moment was the overwhelming need to run away from the situation I had been facing. Gunnar had no freaking idea how panicked and hurt I was when he told me he wanted to check if River was my mate.The truth was that I was scared that it was true. After all, the irresistible pull I felt towards the pack healer was real, and we seemed to have very good chemistry. But no one in the world could make me feel the way I felt when I was with Gunnar.I knew he kept implying that my feelings were only because of the mate bond, but I knew deep in my heart it wasn't true. I was in love with him, and I needed him to fall for me too. But I didn't know how to compete with someone already dead, someone who I had never met or seen in my entire life.Tia, his true mate.I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I failed to notice an oncoming truck honking desperately in my direction.
