I could clearly see what he meant by customization because the terms written in front of me weren’t anything you’d expect to find on a paper meant to bind two souls for lifetimes.
Instead, they read more like a set of commands—a list of demands etched in ink, cold and final. … Contract of Union This document serves as the binding agreement between Party A (the bride) and Party B (the Alpha King). Both parties acknowledge that this union is not founded on affection, love, or partnership but on duty, necessity, and control. Terms of Agreement 1. Party A’s Obligations 1.1 Absolute Obedience: Party A will comply with every command issued by Party B without hesitation, refusal, or question. Resistance will result in immediate disciplinary action, the severity of which is determined solely by Party B. 1.2 Restricted Freedom: Party A may not leave the castle grounds or interact with anyone not pre-approved by Party B. Any attempt to defy this will result in severe consequences. 1.3 Access Boundaries: Party A is forbidden from entering Party B’s private chambers or other restricted areas of the castle. Any breach will be met with punishment. 1.4 Unrestricted Access: Party B may enter Party A’s quarters at any time for any reason. Denial of entry or refusal of his presence is prohibited. 1.5 Submission of Body and Will: Party A will surrender herself entirely to Party B. This includes, but is not limited to, bearing children, fulfilling his desires, and presenting herself as the dutiful bride in all public appearances. 1.6 Heir Obligation: Party A will produce an heir for Party B within one year of this agreement. Failure to do so will result in corrective measures to ensure compliance. 1.7 Loyalty: Party A is forbidden from forming any connection, physical or emotional, with another man. Any suspicion of betrayal will result in permanent exile or death, as determined by Party B. 2. Party B’s Authority 2.1 Absolute Power: Party B retains complete control over all aspects of this union, including Party A’s daily schedule, attire, and interactions. 2.2 Punitive Rights: Party B reserves the right to administer punishment as he sees fit for any disobedience or failure on Party A’s part. 2.3 Reclamation of Assets: Party A’s belongings, inheritance, and privileges are now the property of Party B. She holds no rights to these assets without his express consent. 2.4 Protection Promise: Party B will ensure Party A’s safety within the confines of the castle, provided she adheres to all conditions set forth in this agreement. 2.5 Search and Retrieval: Party B will locate and return Party A’s friend, Lilly, within 24 hours of this agreement being signed. This will serve as a demonstration of his power and as collateral for Party A’s continued cooperation. 3. Emotional Nullification 3.1 Absence of Love: Neither Party A nor Party B will entertain notions of care, affection, or love. Emotional ties are deemed unnecessary and counterproductive to the nature of this arrangement. 3.2 Role Assignment: Party A’s role is that of a dutiful queen and obedient wife. Party B’s role is that of a ruler and enforcer. 4. Termination and Consequences 4.1 Breach of Contract: If Party A violates any terms of this agreement, she forfeits her freedom, safety, and status as queen. Party B will decide her punishment, which may include imprisonment, exile, or death. 4.2 Freedom Clause: This agreement remains binding until Party B decides to release Party A from her obligations. Party A cannot request or negotiate her release. Union Clause The signing of this document constitutes a legal and binding marriage. The ceremony is a formality and may take place at Party B’s discretion. This document and its terms are to remain confidential, with disclosure to third parties punishable by death. Signature … The paper trembled in my hands as the weight of his demands settled over me like a suffocating shroud. My eyes darted over the words again, desperate to find a loophole, a way out, but the ink felt as binding as chains. His terms weren’t just ruthless; they were designed to strip me of my will. Punishment. Obedience. An heir. Each word felt like a dagger carving into my chest. My breath hitched as I finally looked up, meeting his gaze. Those steel-gray eyes were glacial, unfeeling, yet they burned with a hunger that was far from human. “An heir?” My voice cracked, barely above a whisper. He leaned back in his chair, his movements calculated, predatory. “Did you think I wanted a wife for companionship, little mouse?” The words sliced through me, and I flinched, my fingers tightening around the paper. “Why me?” My voice shook, anger and desperation mingling in every syllable. “I’m weak. I can’t give you a strong heir.” He laughed, a low, sinister sound that sent a shiver racing down my spine. “A child borrows the strength of the dominant parent. Don’t worry, little mouse. My blood will overshadow yours. All I need is your womb for eight months.” I recoiled as his words sank in, my heart pounding like a caged animal. “And after that?” His brow arched, and his lips curled into a mocking smirk. “After that, you’ll do what’s required of you. You’ll be a good mother. You’ll prepare my heir for the throne.” “What if it’s a girl?” His smile darkened, turning cruel. “I will not discriminate. My blood is a legacy, no matter its vessel. If she is born, I will cherish her. But make no mistake, little mouse—we will try again. And again. Until I have a prince to carry my name.” The room spun, my knees threatening to give way. His words weren’t just cruel—they were calculated, a death sentence for any flicker of hope I had left. I clenched my fists, my nails biting into my palms as rage flared within me. “So, you don’t need a wife,” I spat, my voice trembling. “You just need a vessel.” His expression shifted, amusement flickering in his eyes as if my defiance entertained him. “Oh, I need more than a vessel. I need you, little mouse.” My stomach churned. This man didn’t just want control—he wanted to own me. My body. My mind. My soul. The line about Lilly burned in my vision. ‘Party B will locate and return Party A’s friend, Lilly, within 24 hours of this agreement being signed.’ And that was the only motivation I needed to take this leap of faith. I gritted my teeth, choking on my tears as I snatched the pen from his hand. His smirk deepened, but he said nothing as I scrawled my name across the paper, sealing my fate. I shoved it toward him, refusing to meet his gaze. He took his time, dragging the moment out as he signed his side with a flourish. He set the pen down with a finality that made my heart sink. “Congratulations, little mouse,” he murmured, his voice dripping with mockery. “We’re officially hitched.” “Yeah, whatever.” His chuckle was dark, sending a ripple of unease through me. He leaned forward, his elbows resting on the desk as he beckoned me closer with a curl of his finger. “Come here.” The command was soft, but it carried the weight of an iron shackle. I stiffened, shaking my head. “I’m not some dog you can summon.” His smirk widened, his voice dropping to a dangerous growl. “Clause one, little mouse. You will follow everything I say without question.” My stomach flipped as realization dawned. The smirk on his lips told me he enjoyed my discomfort, my hesitation. He was savoring it. Reluctantly, I took a step forward, then another, until I stood before him. “Closer.” I swallowed hard, forcing my feet to move until I was within arm’s reach. He leaned back in his chair, spreading his legs as his eyes roamed over me, dark and unrelenting. “Kneel.” The word hung in the air like a gunshot. My body froze, my mind screaming at me to run, to fight, but my feet stayed planted, rooted by fear and the weight of his command. “Don’t make me repeat myself,” he said, his tone cold and sharp as a blade. My knees buckled, and I sank to the floor, my breathing shallow and uneven. His smirk returned, triumphant and cruel, as he tilted his head to look down at me. “Good girl,” he murmured, reaching out to brush a strand of hair from my face. His touch was deceptively gentle, a stark contrast to the venom in his words and I involuntarily flinched. “You’ll learn, little mouse. Obedience suits you.” My nails dug into the floor, rage simmering beneath my fear. He didn’t just want to control me—he wanted to break me. And as his hand gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze, I realized one chilling truth. This was just the beginning.Killian’s POVBeing the Alpha King comes with its own burdens. My authority extends beyond trivial disputes like thefts and border skirmishes—I oversee the monetary budgets of all 236 werewolf packs scattered across the world. I dictate alliances, settle wars before they even begin, and pass judgment with a single command.I don’t have time for distractions.My days are regimented, each minute accounted for. There’s no room for delays. No space for indulgences.Yet here I am. Sitting back, watching a woman kneel before me.She’s… interesting.Not in the usual way women are—cloying, desperate to claw their way into my bed for status or power. No, she’s different.I like when people cower before me, when fear drips from their trembling forms, feeding the beast within. But her?Don’t mistake her bowed head for submission.Her eyes, though lowered, hold fire. If not for her friend, Lilly, she would be glaring at me outright.My gaze drops to her hands, balled into fists so tight her nails
Killian’s POVThe scent of ink and aged leather filled the room as I leaned back, fingers grazing the cool surface of the polished desk. Across from me, Alpha Kane sat with his Beta and Third-in-Command, their sharp gazes locked onto mine."Your Highness," Kane began, his voice deep and measured. "The border patrols have reported increased rogue activity near our eastern perimeter. A few skirmishes already, but nothing major—yet. If we don’t act now, it could turn into a full-blown invasion."I drummed my fingers against the desk, processing his words. "How many casualties?"Kane exhaled sharply. "Four dead. Two missing. My men are holding their ground, but it’s clear these bastards are testing us. If they push harder, we’ll need reinforcements."Rogues. Filthy, unclaimed mutts with no allegiance, no pack, no order. Their only instinct was survival, and in their desperation, they threatened the balance I had spent years establishing.I had always eliminated them at first sight, ho
Kane was still talking, something about tracking rogue movements, about needing scouts along the riverbanks, but his voice was just a hum in the background. My focus was shot, my attention stolen by the woman who had the audacity to fall asleep against me, the werewolf King. The strongest and most powerful man in this world. People quiver in my presence, piss their pants at my one command and she is sleeping without a care of this world? How? Did I act soft with her? Am I missing something? Why isn’t she scared of me? I let my fingers trail lower, brushing the nape of her neck. She shivered. A tiny gasp left her lips, but she didn’t wake. Her body curled in tighter, pressing closer, and fuck if that didn’t send a sharp pulse of need straight to my core. The urge to grip her, to fist her hair and make her fully aware of what she was doing to me, was unbearable. My free hand clenched into a fist. Control. I was always in control. But this little mouse was testing it. Testi
Eve’s POV I stirred awake slowly, my senses groggy and sluggish, as if I had been submerged in a murky haze. The first thing I noticed was the warmth beneath my cheek—solid, firm—and then the dampness at the corner of my lips. My mind froze as realization dawned. A cro- A man’s that was right in front of me. My breath hitched, my eyes widened, and panic unfurled in my chest like a viper poised to strike. The memories hit me like a truck. My torn dress, the approaching guests, the frantic search for a hideout—only to drop under his table, entrapping myself in the little space right between his legs. I had waited for so long. My body was sore, my stomach protesting in hunger. Their business talks had gone on forever. And before I knew it, I had drifted into a deep sleep. It’s a strange power I possess. There were times when I had to sleep on footpaths on chilly nights, with just my shawl covering me. Since then, I’ve been able to sleep anywhere. Yet, not in my wildest dreams
The tang of blood filled my mouth almost immediately, metallic and bitter. I expected him to yank his hand back, to curse or react in pain. But he didn’t. Instead, his thumb pressed deeper, the motion deliberate, almost punishing.Fuck!I gagged, my throat convulsing as his blood coated my tongue, metallic and vile. Tears burned at the corners of my eyes, but the sight of him didn’t waver. If anything, his lips curled, and his eyes gleamed with predatory amusement—a wolf savoring his prey’s final thrashes.“That’s more like it,” he rasped, his voice low and serrated, each word slicing into me like a blade. His thumb pressed further into my mouth, forcing me to taste more of him, drowning me in the coppery tang of humiliation.I couldn’t breathe.My lungs clenched in protest, screaming for air as I twisted and writhed beneath him. A feral panic ignited inside me, but before I could pull away, his legs coiled around me, his thighs like steel cables pinning my arms.It wasn’t a hold.
“ They say the souls rejected by the world are loved by the God.And he?He was her God.” …….Her - The Prey The Stolen Apple I gripped my shawl tightly, letting it drape over half my face as I navigated the bustling fruit market. The crowd pushed and jostled me from all sides—a blessing in disguise. With a quick glance at the distracted shopkeeper, my hand darted under the shawl, and an apple disappeared into its folds. Stealing wasn’t righteous—I knew that. But when survival is the only game, morals become a luxury. I bit my lip nervously, stealing another glance at the shopkeeper. Still chatting with a customer. Thank the moon goddess. Saved. A pear caught my eye next. It had been ages since I’d tasted something sweet. My stomach growled at the memory. I slid it into my makeshift pouch, followed by a few tomatoes. Before long, my hands were full. A victorious smile tugged at my lips. For the next few days, at least, hunger wouldn’t claw at m
Chapter 2All That GlittersA predator doesn’t ponder the morality of its actions—it simply takes.That’s who I am. Killian Black, the wolf at the top of the food chain.The Alpha King of this ugly world.I groaned, my head pounding as sunlight spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my chambers. The golden chandelier overhead sparkled, mocking me with its pristine perfection. My peace was shattered by the soft shuffle of feet and the sickly-sweet voice of my butler.“Good morning, Master. Your breakfast is ready.”Before I could even respond, slippers were slid under my feet, and maids flooded the room like obedient ants. The air was heavy with the scent of lavender and submission. I hated it.“Black coffee,” I muttered, dismissing them with a wave of my hand.They scurried out like mice, leaving behind only silence. Good. They’d learned after yesterday.I stretched, the silk robe sliding over my shoulders as I made my way to the mirror. My reflection stared back, unflinching
Chapter 3Eve’s POVI stand before the glass walls, craning my neck to take in the name above the shop.Silver Hounds.The most infamous club in town.It’s daylight now, so the place seems almost deserted, but at night? There’s no room to breathe, let alone step inside. Men line up in the hundreds for a chance to get in.It’s a money-making empire.Someone told me they pay the women hefty here, so here I am.Rubbing my clammy palms on my worn-out pants, I push the door open, a bell ringing in my wake.The inside reeks of extravagance: a long bar stretches across one side, and plush red couches are scattered strategically. My gaze catches on a woman wearing nothing but a lacy red bra and matching lingerie, fishnets encasing her legs.I stagger toward her, nerves tightening like a vice.“Excuse me, ma’am—”She turns, her eyes narrowing, and I’m hit by the sight of her makeup-caked face—pierced nose, winged eyeliner, and lips painted a vivid, threatening red.“What, beggar?” she snaps. “

Tick. Tick. The sound of the clock reverberated in the suffocating silence, each second a hammer against my chest. My eyes flitted to Killian. He sat, motionless yet terrifying, his broad shoulders tense, his jaw clenched so tightly I thought it might crack. The pen in his hand groaned in protest, his fingers a vice around it. His patience was unraveling. “Get down,” he said, his voice low, guttural—almost a growl. It wasn’t a request. It was an order. I hesitated, my gaze darting to Bane. The massive beast stood there, muscles taut, his black eyes gleaming like liquid night. “But he—” “I said get your ass down, little mouse. Now.” The words cut through me, sharp and final. My stomach twisted, and I swallowed hard. Okay. I can do this. One step at a time. I slid off the desk hesitantly, my bare feet brushing against the cold floor. Bane’s growl deepened, a rumble that vibrated through the room. His eyes never left me, the predator locked on its prey. I flinched as my dress
“This way, ma’am,” one of the maids said, leading me down the hall.My footsteps echoed against the marble floor, each step heavier than the last.These were the very halls I ran through last night.The very walls that heard me beg for help.But none came.Everyone was loyal to him here. Even the air that I breathe.When we arrived at the Alpha King’s office, the massive double doors swung open with an ominous creak, the sound slicing through the suffocating silence of the hallway.He was there, seated behind a massive mahogany desk, his dark head bent over a stack of papers. The glow of the firelight bathed the room in amber hues, but the warmth it offered didn’t reach me. It couldn’t. The air itself felt bitterly cold—an icy chill that seemed to emanate from him, wrapping itself around my chest like a vice.The maids voice broke the silence. “Your Highness. She is here.”He didn’t even glance up.I lingered in the doorway, the weight of his presence pressing down on me like a physic
Time had become irrelevant. Minutes, hours—they all blurred into one endless stretch of waiting. Sitting there, I couldn’t tell how long had passed. I was trapped in the prison of my own thoughts, each one clawing at my sanity.Twenty-four hours.Could he really find her in twenty-four hours?Doubt was a heavy stone in my chest, pressing against my lungs. What if he didn’t? What if he went back on his word?But no. He was the Werewolf King. His word wasn’t just law—it was ironclad. If there was one thing I knew about him, it was that he didn’t make empty promises. Whether his word brought salvation or destruction, it was always delivered.The sound of footsteps startled me out of my spiraling thoughts. My head snapped up as the door creaked open, and a group of five women entered. They were dressed in crisp maid uniforms, their hair neatly pinned back. Everything about them was polished and orderly, a sharp contrast to the chaos I felt inside.“Good evening, ma’am,” one of them said
