AQUA
Everyone said love turned people into fools, and I guess they were right. Or else, what could explain the dangerous risk I was taking tonight? I barely managed to clear the barbed fence, my paws brushing against the sharp edges as I leapt. I landed gracefully on the soft, damp grass beneath me, feeling the earth cool against my fur. The full moon cast its pale light on the forest floor, guiding me to the house I knew so well. I changed back to my human form and walked to the door, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. I knocked on the door according to the rhythm my lover taught me. And he opened it almost immediately, his figure leaning against the door. His eyes anxiously swept across our surroundings as he greeted me, “You are finally here, Aqua.” “I’m here.” I replied. His nose twitched twice, sniffing the air before his eyes that glanced at my body dilated with lust. Happiness filled my heart at his reaction, even though I knew the only reason he was only behaving like this was because of my intoxicating scent. I was experiencing my mating heat which meant I was supposed to be indoors when the suppression drugs started wearing out. “We don’t have much time,” he murmured, backing away, his body blocking the doorway as he tried to hide his arousal. “Alpha Gunnar is inside and getting ready to sleep. This is our best chance if we want him to accept you.” “Wait, Leon,” I grabbed his hand before he could walk away and asked, “Are you sure he personally requested a third-tier submissive virgin wolf? Why does he want me?” Leon’s voice tinged with impatience as he explained, “I don't know, Aqua. Those were the orders he gave our alpha so I had no choice but to ask you.” My mind swirled with many questions but I instantly stifled them.Considering my wolf status, it was never a good thing to offend anyone. But it wasn't like disobedience was a choice, third-tier submissive wolves were the lowest in the food chain but we were very rare. That's probably the reason why they made us property of the pack. On the surface,we were under the alpha’s protection but the truth was that we were nothing but pawns, subjected to do his bidding. Leon’s touch pulled me out of my deep thoughts as he reassured me, “If you do this, Alpha Keegan would be very pleased. I'm sure he will grant us permission to get married.” “What about Juliette?” I asked. It was hard to believe that the alpha of our pack would disappoint his daughter like that. Even worse, that Leon would leave his true mate for me. He pulled me close, wrapping his arms around my waist. Leon was a typical Prince Charming with no imperfections, blond permed hair and honey brown eyes. He had the kind of smile that made every female wolf’s heart race, like he was the dream they could never quite touch. “I’ve already ended things with Juliette,” he said, his voice steady but soft. “True mate or not, I’ve made my choice. I’m following my heart, and right now, it’s telling me that it belongs to you.” My breath caught at his words, a flutter of warmth spreading through me. Since Leon was making some sacrifices, I felt it was only right for me to make my own for our future together. I nodded, “Fine, I’ll do it.” “Great!” Leon's expression brightened as he led me upstairs, guiding me to the room where the Alpha King, Gunnar Buchanan was staying. I had heard stories about him but most of them were rumors. There were only three things for certain; first, he was the only first-tier dominant wolf across all the lands, second, he was blind, and third, he was very ruthless and unkind. “Do your best, Aqua.” Leon bid me goodbye once we arrived at his door. I swallowed my nervousness as he kissed my cheeks and walked away, leaving me alone. A few seconds later, I opened the door and stepped inside. It took some time for my eyes to adjust to the dark room but soon, I was able to see my entire surroundings and the sleeping man in the middle of it. I wondered what I was supposed to do now. Straddle him or kiss him first? I approached the bed, slow and shaky. My eyes widened when I realized that he was also naked underneath the sheets. Climbing on top of him, I straddled his waist and ran my hands all over his chest before leaning down to kiss him. Without warning, his strong arms wrapped around me like a vice, holding me tight to his warm body. He got up halfway and leaned against the headboard. I gasped, arching my back as his mouth covered one nipple, his tongue swirling around the nub before he sucked hard. “P-Please be gentle,” I moaned at the exquisite pleasure spreading through my body, my fingers burying into his long hair. I hitched a breath when his other hand grabbed my ass, pulling me harder against him as he ground upward, the thick ridge of his length sliding along me. My brain circuited at the sensation, his relentless movements making it impossible for me to think clearly. His voice was husky with desire as he murmured, “Female…have to mate…” With one powerful thrust, he sheathed himself fully into me. Pain and pleasure shot up my spine, forcing a scream from my lips. One of his hands covered my mouth while his hips pistoned into me, pounding me hard in a punishing pace. The room was filled with our lewd sounds, his animalistic grunts mingling with my wanton cries. My head was yanked back, exposing my vulnerable neck to his hungry kisses. I panted, “Oh, dear moon goddess…” “It’s not the moon goddess. Just me,” he grunted, his hips rocking hard as he worked himself deeper. My eyes rolled to the back of my head when his teeth sank into my shoulder, marking me. The sting of his teeth sent jolts of electricity straight down my core where he pounded me ruthlessly. My pleasure built rapidly with the sensation of his hot mouth on my skin and the thrust of his hips. Sparks exploded behind my eyelids as his hand reached down to rub my clit, circling it in rhythm for his thrusts. “Cum for me, woman,” he demanded, his voice thick with lust. His fingers on my clit was overwhelming, sending me hurling towards my peak. My toes curled as my orgasm crashed through me in waves of intense pleasure. I screamed with my hoarse voice as Gunnar buried himself in me one last time, flooding me with his hot seed. “Ahhh!” he bellowed, grinding against me as his body twitched and shuddered with the intensity of his climax. The last thing I remembered before my world dissolved into darkness was the feel of his strong arms wrapped around me as he covered us with the sheets. I offered a silent prayer to the moon goddess for helping me survive the night.AQUAThe next morning, I woke up with the ability to barely breathe. My body protested against the lack of oxygen. My wolf must have sensed the danger before I did, because when I woke up, I discovered that my claws were out as I struggled against the pressure on my neck. My eyes whipped open to see Gunnar's angry face looming over me, his hand wrapped around my throat. I instinctively tried to get him to loosen his grip but the difference between our strengths was too much, just like an ant trying to push a mountain.“P-Please spare me,” I released a strangled grasp. I could feel my energy waning as my consciousness started to fade. Panic set in when I realized I could die like this so I kicked my legs against the sheets frantically, desperate to be set free. Gunnar was naked from head to waist, his eyes cold and lifeless as he spoke to me, “How dare you steal my wolf energy? Who sent you here to sleep with me?”“But I thought you were the one who requested me!” I protested, confus
GUNNARAs the Alpha King, I'd seen and experienced countless things in my life, but never had I encountered someone like Aqua. From the first moment I woke up to see her sleeping beside me, a thought crossed my mind: she was either incredibly stupid or had a death wish.It turned out Aqua was the kind of simpleton who easily believed what people told her. And I hated it. She would be dead by now if it weren't for an unexpected complication.The damn submissive wolf was my second-chance mate.I had found out about it early in the morning when I was choking her to death. The familiar white-hot pain in my chest when I was hurting someone connected to my soul was enough to make me pass out but I held onto my consciousness stubbornly. I was too pissed about her little trick to care about our bond, neither could I tolerate the fact that the moon goddess would tie me down to such a weakling. But right now, I had no choice. As the Alpha King and her second-chance mate, I had to find a way to
GUNNARThree days later…The entire pack gathered once again in the large forest they normally used to hold their meetings. The air was chilly and crisp, carrying the earthy scent of damp leaves and rich soil. The ground underneath was covered in a delicate layer of dew, glistening in the soft, early light. When everyone had finally gathered, Keegan ordered the guards to bring Aqua forward. I couldn't help but feel puzzled by how she had managed to remain a virgin despite her captivating beauty. Even in her shabby clothes, she looked stunning. Her waist-length hair cascaded down her shoulders in natural black curls. Her mesmerizing aquamarine eyes exuded purity and innocence, and a sprinkle of freckles adorned her pale skin, enhancing her delicate features.She was the type of woman who aroused a dominant male wolf’s instincts to protect, mound or…even mate. Once she saw me, her eyes sparkled as she took a couple steps towards me but the guards held her back. Although the rest didn'
AQUAAfter Leon's alpha ceremony, Gunnar announced that we would be returning to his pack, the Storm Fire Pack. Although I wasn't ready to leave my home so abruptly, I didn't dare object and began packing my things.The truth was, I had been avoiding Gunnar since his death challenge with Keegan. I had never witnessed such a savage fight in my life, and the bone-chilling fear still clung stubbornly to my heart. His black wolf had emerged victorious, and all the wolves in the forest celebrated, bowing to his supreme dominance.I had just returned to the housing unit assigned for third-tier submissive wolves when I met Evelyn, the pack healer at the entrance. Due to her kind and magnanimous nature, she always dropped by to distribute free vaccines for us despite Alpha Keegan’s orders. “Oh, Aqua,” She embraced me with a smile. “I’m so sorry about what happened. You must have suffered a lot.”“Well, I'm just glad that this nightmare is over,” I shrugged, trying to maintain an indifferent
AQUA I felt them before I even saw them. The moon cast a haunting glow over the forest as I sprinted through the forest, my breath coming in ragged gasps. Some hyenas behind me closed in, their snarls and growls echoing through the trees. My heart pounded in my chest, matching the rhythm of my frantic footsteps.Branches slapped against my face and arms, but I couldn’t afford to slow down. The hyenas’ eyes gleamed in the darkness, their hunger palpable. I stumbled over a root, barely catching myself before I fell. A low growl reverberated near me. Oh no. Fear surged through me, but I continued to retreat until my back hit a tree. Gunnar led the majority of the pack of hyenas away from me as a decoy when we split, but some of them managed to catch my scent and chase me instead. Now, I was going to be their food in a matter of seconds.My hand found a large rock, and I gripped it desperately, my body preparing to defend itself as soon as one of them made a move. I knew there was n
AQUAWhen I finally jerked back into consciousness, the first thought that ran through my brain was the need to find my mate. Again. Gunnar's head snapped in my direction at the sound of my soft gasp, but he didn't move. “You're finally awake, huh?”I nodded slowly, shifting my gaze to the bonfire near him. The smell of burning wood and the crackling of the fire drifting into my nose, pulling me closer to its warmth. Trees towered above, their branches swaying gently in the night breeze, casting eerie shadows in the flickering firelight. When I moved, a sharp pain shot up my side, causing me to wince. “That's good, because we have to talk.” Gunnar threw the last piece of wood in his hands before rising to his feet. His movement allowed me to spot a wolf behind him, resting on its haunches with its front legs straight. “Tell me what you did, Aqua,” he demanded. My heart skipped a beat at the sharpness in his tone. As a submissive wolf, I had mastered all the signs most dominant wolv
GUNNARWhere the hell was she now?I kept staring at the direction my second-chance mate had gone after the little argument we had. Although I had tried my best to restrain my anger back then, her hurt and pain still buzzed down the mate bond like a white noise. She had no idea how damn lucky that my wolves were near when the hyenas attacked us. The effects of the drug were barely fading now, but if they hadn't come to our aid, we would have surely died back there. That's why I snapped at her. She might have been fortunate to survive up to now, but with this naive character, she'd be chewed up and spat out in my pack in a matter of seconds. “Damn it, she's taking too long, Odin.” I said to the gray wolf by my side. From what I could sense from the mate bond, she certainly wasn't in any form of danger, so why hadn't she returned yet? Unless...I shot to my feet, feeling my blood boil in anger as I considered the possibility of her running away. Her scent still lingered in the air, b
