Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Resolving Their Problems In A Car.
AQUAGunnar was such a jerk!I was here with the pack healer receiving treatment, yet he growled at me like I was in the amusement park having fun. Everything that happened in the forest suddenly felt like a dream, one that I wished that I would never wake up from.I missed his tender touches, his warm eyes, and his faint smile when he looked at me. Now I couldn't tell if I had truly done something to piss him off this time or if he had always been this way. Tears prickled at the back of my eyes as I nodded obediently, walking past him after I bade River good-bye. Since we arrived at the Storm Fire Pack, he had become more moody and dictatorial, and I couldn't stand it. When I reached the car, I grabbed the door handle to open the door when a hand suddenly slammed it shut again. The next thing I knew, Gunnar turned me around and trapped me with his body. “What the fuck is wrong with you, Aqua?” Gunnar's handsome face twisted with anger as he faced me. “How dare you mute the mate bo
Last Updated : 2025-01-01Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Meeting His Daughter, Fawn.
AQUAWhen Gunnar told me he was going to take me to his daughter, I almost didn't believe him. After all, we had left the populated area of the pack and were now driving along a secluded road in the middle of a thick forest. Yet, I stubbornly held onto the bond, believing that he needed me more than I did for him. Gunnar didn't want a submissive Luna Queen, and from what I heard from the other wolves in the pack healer's house, he didn't have much time left. That's why I didn't want to deceive myself any longer. After spending some time with him in that forest, I found myself falling for him, and the knowledge alone scared me.I wasn't his type, and I knew I would never be. Men like him preferred strong and independent women like Hannah. He wanted someone who would contribute to his cause, not someone who always hid behind me and asked for his help. “Fawn is a very sensible child, but she can be quite hostile towards strangers.” Gunnar said. “Just don't take anything she says to h
Last Updated : 2025-01-01Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. A Tour Around The House.
AQUAAfter we told Fawn the truth about our relationship, Gunnar gave me a small tour inside the house and showed me my room. The interior was indeed nice, giving a warm yet sophisticated and modern vibe that blended well with nature. However, the only thing that displeased me was the location of my room. “Why is it at the end of the hall?” I asked him. It's not like I wanted to sleep with him in his room because I didn't want to desecrate the lovely memory of his true mate, but there were several guest rooms between us, and that didn't sit well with me. Gunnar patiently explained. “Because Fawn's room is directly opposite mine. She's a bit sensitive towards sounds and always has a hard time falling asleep once she wakes up.”I bit my lips, wondering how to say the words that were on my mind. I didn't want to appear too forward since it might put him off, but it was the only reason why I was here in the first place. “But how would we be able to do it?”“Do what?” Gunnar's eyebrows

AQUAAfter waiting for so long, I finally fell asleep while waiting for Gunnar. I had no qualms about his lateness since I had grown accustomed to it when I was seeing Leon. Most dominant males handled important tasks for the pack, like security, hunting, and even killing sometimes. When it was midnight, I woke up again feeling a bit hungry. Although I was reluctant to come out of my room because of Fawn, I remembered that I hadn't eaten anything since that pack healer's house. River was kind enough to feed me some croissants and coffee before healing me, but the food wasn't enough to keep me going for a whole day. After much deliberation, I decided to leave the room and search for some food. Fawn's room was closer to the end of the hallway, heading towards the living room and kitchen, but I figured she would be deep asleep by now. So I opened the door as quietly as I could and tiptoed along the hallway. The moon hanging over me illuminated the place, shining through the glass roof

AQUA After what happened last night, I stayed in my room all day, hiding away from Gunnar and his daughter. I knew avoiding them was next to impossible since they were literally the owners of the house, but I really didn't want to see them after what Gunnar did. I spent all night in the bathroom, retching in horror after I confirmed that he really killed a woman in cold blood. He had every right to be furious about her hurting his child, but snapping her neck without any hesitation or remorse exposed me to the cold reality about him. Gunnar wasn't just a dangerous alpha. Last night had proved that he was also capable of being ruthless and decisive when he put his mind to it. And once he made up his mind, there wasn't anything on the planet that would change it. Not even me.The worst part was that after everything, he still hadn't come to check up on me. I waited all night, hoping that he would talk to me and explain what really happened, but it was all in vain. He just muted the

GUNNARI sat in my seat in the meeting hall, my fingers tapping the oakwood table. The tension in the room was palpable, and the air conditioning did little to dispel the heat from the midday sun outside. All eyes were on me, but I maintained a distant expression as I pondered the judgment for the wolf standing before me.“Wait, you can't be fucking serious,” Baylor grumbled, disbelief etched on his face. “Don't tell me you are really gonna punish me because of a submissive bitch who just entered the pack?”The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees at his words, the air charged with danger. My wolf, who had been pacing in the recesses of my mind, paused, questioning if he had heard correctly.Wilder growled, his voice sharp as a blade. “Would you shut up? Do you even know who that woman is?”Baylor responded with a confused look, his eyes darting from the both of us. But I was already too pissed to care about his ignorance. No one in the pack knew about my daughter,

GUNNARAfter my little talk with Wilder, I decided to stop by the pack healer's place. I received a call from River about a case concerning two women who had a catfight in the grocery store today. It shouldn't have been my business, except they unknowingly injured a little boy who had been walking behind them.That's when the sentries arrested them. Unfortunately, both of them were injured, so River had to heal them, and he called me instead.I parked my car in front of the house and came down, walking to the front porch. The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows through the trees as I walked, and the air had that crispness that hinted at the approach of autumn. As I stood in front of the pack healer's door, I could hear the females screaming, but none of them were stupid enough to start fighting physically with each other because they were at the healer's house.And everyone knew the sacred places; the priestess's temple, the pack healer's house, and the cubs' nursery. No vio

GUNNARA few minutes later..."First and foremost, both of you are going to apologize to Kat and cover her son's medical expenses," I announced to the two dominant female wolves after I returned to the living room. "Then, you will compensate River for the damage you caused in his living room. Am I clear?"The two female dominant wolves exchanged glances. The tension in the room thickened as they regarded me with a mix of fear and defiance. The one with highlights cleared her throat to catch my attention and complained, "I can understand paying for the damage in River's living room, but why should we cover that boy's medical fees?""Yeah, it's not our fault the boy got hurt," the other woman chimed in. "If his mother had been watching him, he wouldn't have gotten injured. Honestly, how are these submissives training their children anyway?"I raised an eyebrow at their words. "I'm sorry, does this sound like a suggestion or something?"The two female dominant wolves froze at my words, r

Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Confronting Her Mate.
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."
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Her Date With River Kincaid.
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
Capturing 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
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. The Thunder Paw Alpha Rebels.
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
Capturing 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
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Taking Her To His Favorite Place.
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
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
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Rejecting Her Mate?
GUNNARAfter convincing Fawn to keep my secret about Aqua, I realized it was time to address the issue with River once and for all. At this rate, she was going to get all of us in trouble, so I needed to stop her before she did something stupid like getting cozy with my pack healer. My wolf had been on edge since we arrived in the pack, largely because we hadn't initiated any physical contact with our mate. Deep down, I almost wished we hadn't left that damn forest because everything between us had felt good back there. Now, it felt like we were back to square one. In fact, we were even worse than strangers, and I hated it. She had her issues, and I had mine. In the past, I hadn't been willing to work on our relationship, but now I was ready to try if it meant getting my life back in order.I didn't notice she had returned to the house until I reached the stairs with Fawn. Her scent lingered there, suggesting she had been there for quite some time, and that made me panic for some un
Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. Discovering His True Thoughts.
AQUAI returned to Gunnar's house in the evening, completely exhausted by the day's activities. My feet were sore, and my brain was screaming for rest, as I stepped into the house barefoot. The cab driver refused to take me to the forest once he heard my destination, claiming that no one was allowed to venture there without Gunnar's permission, so I had to walk through the forest all alone.Once I was in, I went straight to the stairs, eager to lay on my bed when I heard a pair of voices arguing with each other.It was Gunnar and his daughter, Fawn.I should have probably minded my business and walked away. After all, they made it very clear that I was simply a guest living in their house so I didn't want to get into trouble by butting into their private affairs.But then, Fawn screamed, her voice piercing through the air."I'm not the one at fault! All I did was say the truth!" she cried, half-defiant, half-pained. "Aqua is not my mother, and she can never replace her!"I froze at th
