AQUA

I opened my eyes and found myself staring at the ceiling. The smell of herbs wafted into my nose, grounding me in the reality before me. As I blinked twice, memories came rushing into my head.

The fight. The poison.

I won.

The knowledge hit me like a racing car crashing into my mind. Within a second, I rose from the bed with wide eyes. I scanned my surroundings, taking in the darkly lit room in which I was. The place was very tidy and neatly arranged, but what caught my attention was the scent that lingered in the room.

The scent belonged to River.

My eyes fell on the heavy fur blanket covering the lower part of my body. The sight made me curl my toes, flexing each muscle to make sure my legs were fine. Once I had confirmed that they were doing just fine, I lifted my head to stare at the blue curtains, which were shut close to block the sunlight.

Curious to find out what the time was, I gingerly stepped left of the bed and walked towards the door with slow, deliberate steps.

  • Capturing The Alpha King's Heart.    Dealing With The Pack Elders Himself.

    GUNNARFor the first time, I felt my emotions almost overwhelm me when I heard them talking about Aqua in such a derogatory manner. They clearly could not accept Aqua's victory and the consequences that followed. If they had come to me and begged for mercy, I still might not have relented, especially since Gladys dared to poison my mate. But at least things wouldn’t have escalated to this point. When Tristan's grandmother and the others heard my wager, they panicked. I ignored their murmurs and crossed my arms, observing them. The good thing was that all the elders present were not related to Nathaniel Kincaid, which meant he wanted nothing to do with the situation. A wise decision. Hannah, who had sensed the intense atmosphere, cast a glance at the elders before intervening. "Gunnar, there's no need to be so harsh with them. They only wanted to clear up their suspicions concerning Aqua." She took a step closer and wrapped her arms around mine. "If you want them to drop the matter

    GUNNARAfter Aqua left with River, I stayed behind with the elders and Hannah in the house. I secretly sent one of my wolves to guard them since I knew Oprah would do her best to stop them. That's why I stayed behind to make sure they didn't make sure they didn't try anything funny.As I moved about the kitchen, the rich aroma of brewing coffee began to fill the space, cutting through the thick silence. Suddenly, Hannah entered with a remorseful expression. I pretended not to see it as I worked the coffee machine, but then she grabbed a cup and placed it on the kitchen counter."Look, I know you are still mad about me trying to help the elders," Hannah said, "But I only did it because all of them have been good to you since your reign began. It wouldn't be good if you keep butting heads with them."Calmly, I poured the coffee into both cups she placed on the table before facing her. "Is that the only reason you have been helping them?" I asked her.Hannah's expression stiffened when

    AQUAAfter Gunnar passed on his verdict, I heard a sound from behind the closed door. The footsteps of someone leaving the scene sent a cold chill down my spine, but nothing was able to prepare me for the sight I saw when I returned to River's house. It was Hannah once again, trying to seduce my mate. She had her hands all over his body, but the worst part was that Gunnar didn't even seem to care about it. Here, I thought everything was fine between us. “Aqua?” River called out to me. His voice snapped me out of my thoughts, forcing me to turn away from the couple in front of me. “I just wanted to make sure you were alright. I mean, we really did encounter several dangers before coming here.”I released a soft sigh. “Well, I guess we were lucky to return in one piece.”If it wasn't for River's suggestion to hide the witnesses in one place, it would have been much harder to achieve our goal. When we were about to return, we reached a long traffic jam that threatened to delay us. The

    AQUAAfter Gunnar left, I stayed behind to chat with River. Hannah kept trying to create an opportunity for us to speak, but River remained by my side all through the time. Eventually, she gave up and exited the house with the elders, casting me one last knowing glance before disappearing into the night. “Thank you for taking good care of me, River,” I said to him when we were finally alone. We cleaned the place together, chatting about the day's events and other trivial stuff. “I really appreciate all the things you have been doing for me.”River gave me a soft smile and replied. “There's no need to be like this. I'm only doing this because I want to take good care of you.”The warmth in his voice made my chest tighten. I felt the weight of his gaze, gentle yet unwavering. River had always conveyed his feelings for me clearly, but unfortunately, I was unable to return them. My heart still ached at the thought of Gunnar being so close with Hannah, and that was all I could think about

    AQUAThat evening, I packed my belongings and left Gunnar's house for good. No matter how hard I tried to convince him that there was nothing between me and River, he refused to believe me. Feeling helpless, I decided to leave and move to a new location.The new place was near the sentinel's quarters.When I arrived, I was so sad that I barely spoke to anyone as I settled into the safe house. I stayed indoors, crying on my bed about the day's events until I heard a soft knock on the door.My senses went into full-alert mode as I moved towards the door. The first thing I did was grab the small combat knife Bodhi gifted me before the duel. I suspected it might be Hannah since she had been trying to get me alone for a while. If she was here to fulfill her promise to make my life a living hell, then she definitely had another thing coming.But when I opened the door, my eyes widened with surprise when I saw one of my closest friends standing before me. My eyes scanned her figure from head

    AQUAAfter what I saw, I decided to call Bodhi and ask him for additional security. Kianna pleaded for me not to tell him about Baylor, so I gave him a lame excuse about not feeling safe in my new environment. Fortunately, he brought it and sent some sentinels to guard my new home. Kianna and I waited for them to start their patrol before we went to the living room to talk. “Now...” I said, sitting opposite her. She looked weary as she wrapped her robe around her thin body. “...tell me everything. When did Baylor start stalking you?”Kianna twisted her fingers as she contemplated what to say to me. I knew she was thinking about what to say, so I urged her. “Please, Kianna. You have to tell me everything if you want us to stay together.”Kianna stiffened when she heard my words. I didn't want to threaten her with this, but I had no choice since she wasn't willing to tell me the truth. She exhaled before confessing. “It's all started when he discovered that I was his second-chance ma

  • Capturing The Alpha King's Heart.    I Have Something To Discuss With You, Gunnar.

    AQUAThe next day, Kianna and I went to the meeting hall to find Gunnar and tell him about Baylor. We even missed the mandatory pack run because we wanted to avoid any chances of running into Hannah or Baylor, but Gunnar still hadn't shown up. “Are you sure he’s always the first to arrive?” I asked Kianna, my anxiety rising each time a patrolling sentinel passed by and gave us curious looks. Fortunately, they all seemed to relax whenever they saw Kianna, but I feared we might attract unwanted attention.Kianna nodded, her face etched with a frown. “Yes, he’s usually the first one here. I have no idea why he’s late today.”I was also perplexed about his late arrival. From what I knew, the pack run should have ended a few minutes ago, so I wondered what was behind the delay. Did he have some unexpected arrangements, or was he still avoiding me?Sadness flooded my heart when I thought about how things ended for us the previous day. We had an awful argument and no matter how much I tried

It felt like my world had suddenly been flipped over, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Gunnar noticed that I was no longer moving, so he turned to face me. His eyes widened with alarm when he saw how pale I looked, causing him to gather me in his strong arms. “Breathe, baby,” he said, his voice filled with panic. “I've got you. You and the baby will be fine, I promise.” I opened my mouth to revoke his claims, but then Kianna's and Hannah's faces appeared in front of me. They also looked very concerned about my condition when they saw me. “Aqua, are you alright?” Kianna asked me. When she tried to take another step towards me, Gunnar's low growl echoed in the air to halt her from moving. She froze and glanced at me. “What's wrong with you?”A wave of dizziness overtook me once again, causing my eyes to roll to the back

    AQUA I woke up to the sound of water running somewhere. My vision blurred for a second, and then I was able to recognize my surroundings. This seemed to be River’s bedroom, a place that I had visited so many times. The room was well-lit but extremely messy, like he hadn't visited the place for a long time. There were clothes spilling out of his closet and some books scattered across the floor, the kind of mess that River would have never tolerated in the past. I tried to flex my aching limbs to adjust my position only to discover they were bound. The biting grip of the rough ropes digging into my flesh hurt enough to bring tears into my eyes. Panic instantly gripped my heart before my mind could even catch up to the situation. How the hell did I even get here? Where was River? Instinct immediately took over as I tried to retract my claws, hoping to free myself from the tight ropes. But these things were sturdier than I had anticipated, almost as if they were made from another

  • 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.

    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
