Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Explaining his Actions To Her.
AQUAI was sleeping in my bed when I felt his presence.Fawn had just returned to her room after expressing how much she despised me, and I couldn’t help but feel crushed by her words. Throughout my life, I had endured various injustices and nasty looks for being a submissive wolf, but this was one of those moments when I truly hated myself for being weak.She was right, I told myself, tears spilling onto my pillow as I surrendered to the night’s darkness. I was nothing more than a pitiful, weak wolf, unworthy of love or respect. That night, I cried myself to sleep but suddenly, I felt powerful, warm arms wrapping around me. Alarm gripped my heart, causing me to struggle against his embrace until his familiar scent filled my nostrils. It was a heady mixture of earth and something undeniably comforting. For a fleeting moment, the tension within me eased, and I relaxed into the hold, my body instinctively seeking solace from him. Yet, as reality crashed into me, my fight returned, and
Last Updated : 2025-01-04Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. What Gunnar Needed From Her.
AQUAThe next morning, I woke up to Gunnar's alarm blaring in the background. He had mentioned yesterday that he had a morning pack run to lead, so I reached for his phone to turn it off and wake him up. However, I suddenly noticed that my face felt very itchy. The more I scratched it, the itchier it became, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.I tapped Gunnar three times and watched him stir a bit. My throat also felt scratchy and painful when I tried to call out to him. "Wake up, Gunnar. You have a pack run to lead."Suddenly, a movement in the shadows stole my focus. My heart raced as I strained to see, and fear gripped me when I spotted a wolf with golden eyes curled up in the corner of the room. After calming my racing heart for a few more seconds, I reached for Gunnar again but this time, I was surprised to see that he was already awake.I greeted him with a small smile, "Good morning.""Good morning," he greeted me back, his voice deep and sexy. A warm rush of color spread ac

AQUAA few hours later, I went to the pack healer's house. Navigating my way around the pack was much easier than I had anticipated. I felt completely terrified when I ventured out of the isolated forest where Gunnar's house was located and into the main area of the pack. As I stepped out of the cab, I noticed a few curious glances from people passing by. I understood their confusion; after all, I had joined the pack but hadn’t yet been introduced to them.Self-consciousness crept over me as I instinctively pulled down my hood, trying to shield myself from their gaze. My face, marred with large, unsightly rashes, felt raw and exposed. After receiving the mental image Gunnar had sent me before he left, I confirmed that the house in front of me was indeed the pack healer's house I was looking for. The pack healer's house I was looking for. With my heart pounding loudly in my ears, I stepped onto the front porch and knocked on the wooden door. There was no response at first, but I knew

AQUAI retreated a few steps back when the figure stepped into the house. He looked intimidating and mean—his blonde crew cut, neat and precise. He had a Roman nose and shared the same eye color as River, a stormy gray shade that would have easily made any girl swoon. His right arm was covered with black tattoos disappearing under his white t-shirt. It took me a moment to notice the resemblance. The facial structure, the eyes—he and River shared more than just a passing similarity.“Baylor,” River's face turned grim as he addressed the visitor. “What are you doing here?”Baylor didn't even spare him a glance as he moved towards a couch with a predatory grace that made the hairs at the back of my neck stand. Once he sat down, he crossed his legs and leaned back like he owned the place.“In case you have forgotten, dear brother, pack members have the right to visit your house, especially family,” he drawled, his voice rough and deep.“Seriously, what are you doing here?” River pressed

GUNNARI wanted to kill him. I was already visualizing my fingers wrapping his frail neck and snapping his bones into half. My claws itched to extend and my fangs almost bared at him as I stood at the entrance. After leading the pack run and handling some important matters, I returned to the house but didn't find Aqua. When I discovered that she hadn't come back yet, I became more worried about her condition, wondering if her condition was actually worse than it looked this morning. But here, she was, holding another man's hand. Or was it the other way around?A low rumble echoed through my chest as I watched River tighten his hold on my mate without looking, his attention completely focused on the medical kit he was reassembling with his other hand.She was mine. And the fact that he had his hands on her obviously meant that he was asking for death. I stepped into the house, barely clinging to my sanity as I approached them. A wave of possessive anger swept over me when I saw thei
Last Updated : 2025-01-06Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. The Pack Elders' Demands.
GUNNARWe left the pack healer's house after Aqua finished her tests and received her new prescription. I kept thinking about how to discourage River from openly pursuing Aqua since he had already made his intentions known. I wasn't concerned about my mate cheating on me since I had my wolves watching her closely, but I knew that his affections would only complicate my plans to hide Aqua in the pack until I succeeded in breaking up this mate bond.As we walked towards my car, Aqua stole several nervous glances at me and fiddled with her dress. The fact that I could still sense her fear through the muted mate bond made me realize how terrified she was then. And it was clear as day that the source of her distress was me.I sighed and paused in my tracks, turning to her. "Tell me why you are so afraid of me.""What?" Aqua's eyes widened, a mixture of shock and anxiety swirling within them. "I don't understand what you are talking about." she denied.The way she quietly retreated when she

AQUAMy legs shook as I stepped down from Gunnar's car, my heart racing in my chest. I felt like one of my worst nightmares had finally materialized before me and there was nothing I could do to stop it. But I felt this was the right thing to do and the only way to get rid of everyone's curious gazes once I stepped out of the house. Besides, I was lucky to be only receiving curious gazes, because most packs would have thrown me out after a day or two, without a proper introduction.I swiped my sweaty hands on my jeans for the umpteenth time and tried to walk properly toward the meeting hall when I sensed Gunnar's gaze on me. He promised to do his best to protect me once I stepped in there, but I was not inclined to believe him, given his position. His first and utmost priority was his pack, and if I failed to win their trust, then he would have no choice but to let me leave.Once we reached the meeting hall, Wilder pushed open the doors and stepped aside for Gunnar to pass through. My

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

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
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. A Traitor In The House.
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
