“ My beliefs, ” I began slowly, choosing my words carefully, “ were shaped by what I saw growing up. My father was all I had after my mother died. He raised me to be strong, unreadable. It wasn’t just what the world demanded of us Alphas. It was because of what he went through. What losing my mother, his mate did to him. ”

Aria listened, her gaze intense and unwavering.

I continued, “ When my mother died, it destroyed him. Not just as a man but as a leader. For weeks, months, years , he was hollow. It was like life had been drained out of him. He tried to be there for me but I saw it in his eyes everyday — the pain, the emptiness. It was like a part of him had been ripped out and he could never get it back. No matter how strong he was, love broke him. ”

I paused, swallowing hard against the memories that still haunted me. “ He told me once that loving someone and giving them so much of yourself, leaves you vulnerable. ‘When you lose them,’ he said, ‘you’re nothing but a shadow o

  • ONCE REJECTED, NOW MATED TO THE ALPHA KING   CHAPTER 1

    ARIATears blurred my vision as I stared at the person I had believed would be my companion and save me from the clutches of my father.“ Why? ” I managed to croak out,desperation thick in my voice, as if pleading for an explanation. “ Because you’re not fit to be my mate. You’re just a weak omega. I need someone that is strong and capable. Besides, everyone in the pack knows you bring nothing but bad luck. ” Jackson spat harshly and entwined his fingers with the girl standing beside him – Amelia.She’s a popular girl in the pack because her father is the Beta and she’s also his girlfriend. Everyone in the pack believes she’s perfect but she’s a devil at heart despite how beautiful she looked. I felt a sharp pain in my heart as I stared at their entwined hands. I wanted to scream at him. I’m his mate but he would rather be with someone else? Just because I’m a weak omega? “ Amelia is my girlfriend and she’s strong enough to be my Luna. We’re going to mark each other as mates. ” H

    ARIAI ran through the forest, my breaths ragged and my heart pounding rapidly in my chest. The howls of the rogue wolves echoed behind me, sending shivers down my spine.They pursued me relentlessly, their growls echoing through the night. I pushed my body to its limits, each gasping breath a reminder of the danger lurking behind me.. My legs ache badly, but the fear of getting killed fueled my desperation to escape. Without thinking twice, Laila took control of my body and I transformed into my wolf. It was easier to run faster, see clearer and navigate through the trees in the forest in my wolf form. I suddenly screeched to a halt as I realized I had unknowingly crossed the boundary of another pack. My heart skipped a beat as I saw two figures approaching. From their stance, I could tell they were the guards patrolling the border. Their vigilant eyes met my fearful ones.One of them opened his mouth like he was about to say something but the snap of a twig sounded from behind me.

    ARIAFour days. I’ve spent four long days stuck in this dungeon, feeling unsure and scared. Despite the fact that the Alpha King hasn’t visited me since the last time, there were times when I feel like he’s near. There were also times I could have sworn that I caught a whiff of his heavenly and manly scent nearby. Everytime I hear the sound of the dungeon door open, my heart beats rapidly in anticipation and eagerness but at the end of the day, it would be guards bringing food for all prisoners. Laila has also been restless since then. She kept demanding for her mate’s presence. Not like I wasn’t in the same shoes as hers but there was nothing I could do about it. It was clear he didn't want us. Another rejection – yet again.Just as I was thinking of my despair, the door to my cell creaked open. I snapped my head so fast I almost got a whiplash but just like every other time, I got disappointed. It seemed like an endless cycle of anticipation and letdown. A young timid girl aroun

    ARIA The Alpha King stood at the entrance of my room, his eyes fixed on me as my body trembled with the intensity of my heat. With a low growl, he stepped into the room and strode towards me. I felt so tiny and vulnerable just lying down there.As his eyes locked onto mine, I felt a primal energy coursing through my veins like liquid fire. His wolf was in control, and I could sense its raw power. Without uttering any word, he lifted me into his arms and carried me to the bed as if I weighed nothing. I felt like a meal he couldn't wait to devour.He used his body to cover mine, his weight pressing me down into the mattress. As he gazed down at me, his eyes kept switching from amber to green which indicated that he was fighting his wolf for control. He nuzzled his face in my neck and took a deep sniff." You smell so heavenly," he whispered, his voice low and husky, sending shivers down my spine. " My wolf wants to claim you, Aria. I'm losing control.”“ What about you , Your Majesty?

    ARIA“ She’s not fit to be your mate. ”All eyes turned towards the back of the room where the voice had come from. I knew it was her even before I saw her — Victoria, Knox’s gamma. I had heard the whispers of Knox’s arranged marriage with her but I got the full story from Maya. She hadn’t meant to tell me but it slipped out one evening while we were talking about mates. I hadn’t let Maya see how much the revelation hurt me. But now, as I stared at Victoria with fury burning in her eyes, I didn’t feel hurt anymore. I felt possessive and ready to stand my place beside Knox as his fated mate and his Luna. I didn’t know where that feeling came from but I could feel Laila rising to the surface, telling me it was coming from her. Victoria stepped forward, every inch of her radiating power and confidence. “ She’s not fit to rule by your side. ” she spat, “ She’s weak. An Omega and not even one from this pack. She doesn’t deserve to be here. ”Her words were laced with venom and I could fe

    KNOXThe days after Aria’s challenge with Victoria felt different. It wasn’t about her just winning the challenge. She had earned something deeper. People who had once avoided her now gaze at with admiration and respect. And it wasn’t just the way the pack members looked at her but also the way I saw her. From that night on, I ordered her to sleep in my room.She had looked up at me, surprised. Her wide eyes betrayed her shyness, but she didn’t argue. She simply nodded and followed. It wasn’t a request. I was the Alpha King, and what I commanded was law. Yet, for reasons I couldn’t quite name, this order felt different. I was no stranger to power, but there was something about having someone that softened the edge of my otherwise unyielding rules.The first night she settled in my room, she barely made a sound. She laid on the far edge of the bed, trying to make herself as small as possible. There was a nervousness in her that I wanted to ease. She hadn’t expected the closeness that
