Gray never thought that she would ever hope Judah would help her in this situation. But if he forcefully makes her his, he'd better show up wherever he is when she needs him. The louder she got, the more pressure the wolf put on her neck, almost a warning to keep the noise down. She was tired and realized she hadn't eaten in days. Her energy was depleted despite desperate attempts to break free. By now, Gray had learned her lesson that fighting her destiny was hard. She knew that running and fighting back wouldn't help her right now. She needed to stop acting tough, and she needed someone to help her, and that was Judah, against her will mate. Right after she was about to lie down and accept what would happen, a large black wolf came out of nowhere, grabbing the other wolf by the back of its neck and throwing him away. The wolf stood up, and instead of running away, he challenged Judah, facing him straight.Judah stood over Gray, who was lying between all four paws, and nuzzled her
Meanwhile, at the Castle of Fenrir, King Heiydess has anticipated the return of his son, Judah. He has been looking forward to his daughter-in-law carrying his grandchildren. "Papa," he heard a call from his favourite adopted daughter, Faye. "Why did you get up from your bed? Are you okay? Does the castle doctor agree about this?" she said, worried. "Oh, that? No, my sweet darling. I'm looking forward to Judah's return. I want to meet my future daughter-in-law as soon as possible," he replied cheerfully. Faye was saddened by what the King said. She, too, wanted to see Judah back, but unlike the King, she didn't want him to be with someone as low as Haquihana, the breeder. "Oh, don't be sad, Faye. This is for the kingdom's sake," the kind said when he noticed Faye's reaction. She immediately changed her expression into a happy one and smiled at the King. "I know, Papa," she said. "It's just that I'm used to Judah being single," she lied. "Well, when he returns, he will no longer
Gray couldn't help but feel sorry for what she did to Judah. She had already labeled him a hungry wolf who only wanted to hump her and breed. And now, she realized Judah actually had helped her in a way she was too blind to notice. All she had done was run away, fight, and loathed him with her entire life. Was she wrong to judge the man? And she knew he didn't deserve that. Gray looked down at her empty bowl. The tears started to swell up, feeling guilty that she had overreacted. "I'm sorry," she started. "Joining this game against my will was not what I really wanted. I want to fall in love with someone who can see me, not just a breeding wolf, and make me feel like I'm their true mate. And I want to feel loved not because of my ability to carry multiple pups at one pregnancy but because I am me, a Haquihana. I want to fall in love with my terms, not this way. And most of all, I want to be free," she added, looking at Judah. "If I were with you, I'm unsure if I would learn to love
Gray sensed Judah was tense like she was going to escape or anything. There will be a time for that. She only wanted to relieve herself.The smell of the forest, especially after a heavy rain, tickled Gray's nose. The remnants of the humidity from the night before lingered on her skin. She shut her eyes and rolled her head back. Ah, she could hear everything. Her ears caught the cry of early birds overhead, the sirens of crickets still singing their songs after a long night, and she could hear the small fish jumping off a lake nearby. She stretched and painlessly slid into her wolf form. This was how she felt most comfortable and how she started every day. Her claws dug into the earth and shook her coat out. Gray relieved herself and began to pace. Usually, she does her business inside her room in her human form, but since she's not at her house, she does it with her wolf. She wanted to do some morning runs, but her new Alpha still needed to trust her. She could bet everything she
Judah watched as Gray was at the edge of the forest. He couldn't keep his eyes off her. It was a challenge to have her. And if only she hadn't tripped, the chasing between them probably wouldn't have ended until now. She's good at hiding her scent, mostly misleading him. He was almost at his wit's end, but thanks to the rocks, he caught her and held her firmly before he arrived. It was his lucky day. Sure, he can run fast, but the woman runs faster than him. Maybe it was because she had trained since she was sixteen. Gray knew he was staring at her down from behind, and she turned to look at him for a split second before turning back to the trees. Judah was tempted to approach her, but he stopped himself. He wanted to give her a chance to return to him alone. Judah furrowed when he saw Gray's shoulders fall and her head slightly drop when she realized she couldn't find Alice. He felt a little bit bad about it, but he would try and make up for it as best as he could. To Judah's sur
After hours of driving and ensuring Gray was comfortable, Judah stopped and got them something to eat before finally going home.This part of the forest is part of their Kingdom. "Let's stop at the next gas station, Leland," Judah instructed his beta. Leland looked at his boss through the rearview mirror and nodded understanding, pulling into the next station as ordered.Judah assessed the place from the outside and decided that as run down as it was, it would have to do now. Of all the houses in the street he sees, it is the one that looks good in his eyes. He wondered why this place looked dead and why he could see children and adults wearing tattered clothes, although he could sense they were all werewolves. They looked at his car with hungry eyes as if it was their first time seeing an expensive car. "Leland, what the hell is this place?" he asked him. "According to this map, Alpha, it is called Bowen, part of the King's kingdom," he said. Judah became confused. "This plac
When they returned to the car, Gray silently stared out the window, biting into her vanilla shortcake. Judah just stared at her, slowly eating his chips. He wanted to say something to Gray, but the young lady didn't want to talk. Gray felt his eyes burning a hole in her shoulder, and she rolled her eyes, turning her head to him. "Didn't your mother ever teach you that it's rude to stare?" Judah smirked and turned forward, placing another potato chip in his mouth. "I'm not staring; I'm studying," he replied. Gray narrowed in annoyance. "I'm not a book; mind your own business," she snapped. "On the contrary, sweetheart. All of this…" Judah twirled his finger in her direction, " It is my business."Gray just looked at him and sighed. "Whatever. Men are so infuriating," she said before twisting the cap of her cola. "And women aren't?" he replied. Instead of answering Judah, Gray chose to keep quiet and drank her cola. She's not in the mood to give him sass. She's just too tired
"Future Queen, Ma'am," Mayumi said. Gray's eyes almost bulged out of her head when she heard it. There is no way she will be a queen since she was just an ordinary she-wolf who can give birth to widow male wolves. "Oh, come on. Don't joke around. There is no way I'll become a Queen, okay? I'm just an unfortunate Haquihana. There's no way I can be like that," Gray said. "Well, Ma'am, you are now. You are about to marry and mate the crowned prince of one of the biggest werewolf kingdoms. And if you please, remove your clothes and step into the tub. I already prepared it with some essential oils and fragrance you might have wanted," Mayumi insisted on removing her clothes. Gray doesn't want any servants at all. She's capable of doing anything and grew up like a normal peasant girl. Now that she heard about it, she was determined to escape no matter what. She wants to avoid becoming a Queen or whatever royalty they call it. Another servant with a different uniform entered. She looked
Grey woke up with Judah’s arms still wrapped tightly around her. He was snoring lightly, and amid all of their late-night activities, he had forgotten to put his hair up, so now it was all over them.She smiled and slowly turned around to face him, running her fingers behind his right ear and feeling the mark she made identical to the one he had given her the day they met. Grey used to be upset with the circumstances she had been marked, but as she fell for Judah, she forgave him and was grateful regardless. The fact that she was his no matter what made her happy. She felt a sense of pride that he now unarguably belonged to her. Grey looked towards the windows. The sun was still breaking the horizon, and she wanted to get up and start her day early with Judah, but she let him sleep. Being marked will make you sleep heavily, whether you like it or not. It’s the body’s way of coping with immense pain. Grey tried to roll out of the bed, but Judah clung tightly to her, a small whine co
Judah was astonished at how smooth Grey’s skin was. He was addicted, and he will openly admit he couldn’t keep his hands from her. He sucked on her neck, and she tilted her head to the side to give him more access, to which his chest rumbled excitedly.Her body was a canvas he was eager to paint with his scent. Her skin was a landscape he wanted to explore every curve and dip. He wanted to know and taste everything.“Judah...” Grey gasped breathlessly as she wilted underneath his hot assault on her neck. Unable to resist any longer, Judah pressed his hard member into the soft mound of her backside, letting her know how much she affected him.One hand slipped to cup her sex where his finger naughtily spread her fold and twirled her sweet nub. Grey buckled before her lower body moved on its own accord and rocked on his hand and fingers from more friction. Her response was so innocent, but her innocence only made him all the more possessive.Why?Because every single touch, the sound sh
Ever since Grey got out of bed, Judah has closely watched her to ensure she is doing okay.They were inseparable except for Judah’s meetings, and Grey seemed to be striding by her new lifestyle. She’s eating healthy now and is not causing Maya a headache anymore. After learning about Maya’s past and about her daughter, Grey behaved and didn’t give Maya any trouble anymore. Grey ate healthily and trained with the other girls that were around her age. And to make Maya’s job easy, Grey began to do what a real mate should be. Unbeknownst to Judah, Grey tried to be there for him as much as she could without annoying or angering him. She was actually giving him a signal. She wanted him. Just his mere scent drives her crazy. Recently, Judah developed insomnia, maybe because he was almost killed if only Grey didn’t save him. To help him sleep, Grey started to diffuse lavender and other relaxing oils into the room, and she would lay the bed every night, throwing the sheets in the dryer befo
Alex thrashed around, his blood dripping onto the grass below. He turned his head and managed to bite into Judah's side. Judah yelped and let go, giving Alex a chance to get Judah to the ground and stand over him; his jaws were about to close around his neck, but Judah was fast enough to catch it using his feet and kick him off. Alex underestimated Judah. He has son strength to him just like his brother had. He must have trained his son to be able to compete with him, who has a lot of experience when it comes to fighting experience. The two went head to head, fighting with all their might. Both of them were getting tired. Since Judah is young and has a lot of stamina, Judah tackled him with his remaining straight and pushed Alex down, but someone knocked him off, pinning him to the ground. And when he looked at who did it, it was a brown wolf who was exactly the same size as him. He can't be wrong. It's Kaven. Judah tried to push him off, but he didn't have any strength left on him
Survival instinct is what Gray clings to. She has been walking for days inside the thick and dense forest, yet she can't see any pathway or house built in it. Ana told her that the part of the island was uninhabitable, but still, she decided to stay there to avoid Kaven's men if they decided to look for her. She has been in her wolf form, feeding any small animals. She has to survive no matter what. She needs to reunite with Judah. She was walking aimlessly, hoping to find a trace of civilization before losing her mind. Meanwhile, in Judah's Kingdom. Chaos was everywhere. The enemies have entered the castle. Judah faced off with Kaven and a much older man."Find Gray," she ordered Cameron. Cameron hesitated. "Bother, we can't just leave-""I said go!" He roared, making everyone road. Most of his best fighters took off, apart from Cronusn, Zeus, and Faye, who looked like they wanted to tear Kaven apart. Alex smirked and stepped up to him."Your mate will be Kaven's, Judah. And
Gray panted heavily as she and Ana dragged a cart full of blankets up the stairs. Gray hated stairs. She could be on level ground for hours. Stairs? Hell no. She could hardly breathe. Ana told her to be able to escape, they needed to go to the roof. She told her she had already; she once got out and found the place they were was actually an old abandoned lighthouse on a lone island. They can't just walk out from the main door because some guards are probably guarding it, and their only chance to get out of the building is by the roof, and they knew it would be pretty high. When they finally reached the roof, Gray was almost out of breath. Ana unlocked the door, and they emerged from the staircase and into the fresh air, which she and Ana gulped in as if their lives depended on it. "C'mon." She pulled Gray towards that railing on the roof and crouched, and took all the blankets out of the cart. "Hurry, Gray. Help me."Gray got down and started to tie each end of the blankets. Ana b
Gray was lying on her bed, suffering from a burn on her ankle. She tried many ways to prevent the sliver from touching her skin, but it was futile. She can't find any thin cloth that fits the space between the shackle and her ankle's skin. She wanted Ana to visit her again, but to no avail; a male guard would often bring food for her. "Where is Ana?" she once asked the guard, but the guard only glared at her saying shut up. Since Ana told her to eat her food, Gray had to follow her; otherwise, she'd die from starvation before she could even escape from the hell hole, she was in. With each passing day, Gray waits for Ana to come, but the girl is not shown yet. Gray sometimes can't help thinking that maybe she had already escaped and left her behind, or worse, she was probably killed. Gray shook her head. She had put her trust in her, and her words were reassuring. But where is she? What happened to her?She was scratching the burnt skin of her ankle when the door of her room opened,
"Kaven!" "It's nice for you to remember my name but not my request of meeting up, little rabbit," Kaven said, stepping towards Gray. Gray gathered all her remaining strength and jumped back on the bed, protecting herself from the demon before her. "Why are you trying to stay away from me? Didn't we have a great time in the bathroom stall when we met, darling?" he asked as he started to climb up on the bed. "Y-you hypnotized me! Shyly made me drink that violet liquid," Gray accused him. She saw Kaven smirking. "On that," he said stopping a few inches away from her and taking off his turtle neck shirt. He then showed her a mark. A mark she knew even if she was drunk. "You! You were the one who-""Yes darling. It was me," Kaven said, swiping his tongue on his lower lip. "The sex was good. You're a moaner, little rabbit. I like the way you climbed on me and moved your hips like a professional cowgirl." he added, demonstrating her. "You took advantage when I'm at my weakest, you mo
"So, that's why you wanted to tell me the truth even in your last breath? What if you weren't dying? Would you still tell me everything?" Judah said. Anger has already been raised, and he wanted to kill this woman so badly. But he stopped himself. Cammi smiled. "I have been waiting for this to happen. I could easily escape and let your kingdom be taken away, but I figured it out it was a waste, something my conscience couldn't take. I knew my father would eventually kill me since I knew everything about his plan. Because he made my little sister a hostage, I don't have any choice but to do what he wants. But a few days ago, before I let myself be captured, I learned that my sister had died a long time ago. She was neglected, tortured, and raped. How could that monster possibly do that with her? His daughter!?"Judah's anger was subdued. Cammi isn't a bad woman. She was just a victim of whoever this Alex was. "That's why, Your Highness, I wanted to let you know those big shots insid
