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.AQUA The 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 proteste
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
GUNNARI led her through the dense forest, holding her hand tightly as we cut through the underbrush with large strides. The bright half-moon hung high in the sky, guiding our path as we returned to the bonefire. At that moment, Odin, who was guarding the place, quietly slipped into the darkness of the forest. After a few more steps, Aqua finally stopped in her tracks. My breath caught when I turned to her. Her face was illuminated under the moonlight, highlighting her wavy black hair cascading down her back and hourglass figure. And there it was—that sexy, innocent look she had. Oh, heavens. She had no idea what she did to me when she looked at me with those mesmerizing ocean-blue eyes. It made my wolf claw through my skin, fighting for control to claim its mate.Aqua glanced hesitantly around our surroundings and asked me. “Are you sure you want us to have sex here?”“Yes, I do.” I buried my hands into my jeans pocket to keep myself from lunging at her. “Our wolves like it when th
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
