Freya was as silent as the night. She had no idea what was going on inside King Ragnar's head and what exactly he meant when he said he had other plans for her. She wasn't scared, well, exactly not for herself but for her people. She was. What could she do at the moment to get out of this mess? Nothing for now. She was in chains, tied to the wall. She couldn't even move her feet because they were chained as well. They've restrained her to the extent as if they believed she was the dominant Alpha herself. Though she won't lie, Freya loved the fear she had instilled in them. It was satisfying. If it were only her, then she wouldn't have been so worried, but her people's lives were in danger. She had taken the responsibility to protect them. And now they've all been caught and enslaved like f*cking animals. Freya was locked on the lowest floor of the dungeons. She was alone there, there was no sun or air there. The smell was that of crusted blood and rotten flesh in that dungeon. No
Past. Freya breathed in sharply as she launched the dagger with accurate precision, causing it to cut through the air with the sound of a whoosh as it pierced into the tree right in the middle of the mark making a springy noise as its handle vibrated for a couple of seconds before stilling in place. The girl straightened as she glared at her aim. It was at least two to three centimeters to the left, which made her jaw tick. Freya was just 12 years old but she was angry at herself for not hitting the dagger right in the middle. She wanted perfection. Yanking out her beautifully carved silver dagger from the tree she walked back to her spot, this time she stepped a little further away from her usual spot and focused on the mark on the tree. Freya was all alone in the woods. This place was her hidden spot, which no one knew about. No one ever dared to wander this far in the woods so it was her safe place, or so she thought. Breathing in deeply, she raised her hand and was about to l
12 years later. Present. The commander knocked on the door once as he heard an authoritative come in. Inhaling deeply, he stepped inside and was greeted by the king's powerful presence. Ragnar raised his gaze as his sharp eyes set on the commander with ease. "My Lord, all the preparations have been made, the guests have arrived, and the security is doubled," the commander said earning a lazy hum from Ragnar as he stared at the small mirrors on his table that had the paintings of the women his mother wanted him to pick from. "Very well, Nate, you may leave," Ragnar dismissed the commander who bowed in respect before stepping out. Nate was an Alpha himself. But he wasn't a dominant Alpha. There were rarely any dominant Alphas left in the world, while most of the majority were Alphas and betas. The only rare ones were the Dominant Alphas and the female omegas. It had come to the point that everyone believed that no female omegas were there in the world anymore. There were only male
Everyone was watching them with big, wide eyes. Even Chloe looked astounded, but soon she was grinning because her son was about to dance with a woman. Ragnar let the girl walk him to the dance floor. In the middle of all the omegas dancing. Once they stood in the middle. She stopped and faced him, holding his hand and looking at him expectantly. Like a gentleman, he stepped closer, resting his hand on her waist as he gently tugged her closer, earning a small, surprised gasp from her. They began moving to the tunes slowly and Ragnar closed his eyes for a brief second when her sweet scent infiltrated his senses. It was so faint that you could barely notice it but a hint of it was there. Why didn't she have a strong scent? By her frame, it was obvious she wasn't an Alpha which meant she must be a beta. A very daring beta she-wolf. Her boldness had intrigued him. Just to test her even more. He tugged her closer, causing her chest to bump into his chest as he held her there. He expect
Ragnar was a bit too late in reacting as he jerked back, causing the dagger to slice through his arm. That girl didn't even finish the whole attack before she launched another attack at him with the intent to kill. This time he was fast. Ragnar moved in a flash as he grabbed the dagger from the sharp edge. It was a silver dagger as it burned his skin, but he didn't care. By now, he was fuming in absolute rage as he glared at the woman. He yanked the dagger out of her hand and tossed it to the ground rather roughly, making it pierce into the soft soil as the handle bar vibrated for a second before coming to a standstill. That girl pulled out another knife from her dress, and he had had enough of her. Ragnar lunged for her throat, but she was as fast as he was, dodging his attack and trying to lodge the knife in his chest. He grabbed her wrist and squeezed it harshly, earning a whimper from her. The knife dropped from her hand as he applied more force to break her wrist, and at the sa
The scent of fire and blood still lingered in the air even after the rain had extinguished visible flames. The palace was damaged but not destroyed. And Ragnar? He was anything but calm.He hadn’t slept. He didn’t rest.His study reeked of smoke, wet ash, and rage.Ragnar stood with his back towards Nate, facing the tall arched window, having his gaze scanning the horizon. His arm hung bandaged with black cloth, which was soaking with blood because the dagger she used was made of silver; the wound caused by the silver dagger doesn't heal with healing powers, and it also leaves a scar. He stood there calmly, he didn’t flinch, didn’t care.Vengeance was the only thing consuming him now.“How dare she?” he mumbled, almost in a primal growl. “A woman. A lowly she-wolf. A f*cking beta. Not only did she scar me—she dared to set my f*cking palace on fire." He snarled as his arm twitched in pain.His fingers gripped the edge of the window so powerfully that the stone shattered under his stren
The sound of boots echoed through the ruined throne room like drums of doom. Ragnar’s fury was palpable, like a wild storm ready to devour everything in its path.“You were a hundred alphas,” Ragnar seethed, circling Nate and the rest of the wounded soldiers like a lion among broken prey. “My finest. Chosen. Trained. Raised under my roof. You were supposed to be unstoppable.”Not a soul dared to respond. Bloodied warriors knelt with shame in their eyes, heads bowed. Ragnar stopped in front of a soldier missing an arm, his face bandaged and stained with dried blood.“And yet you come back like dogs chased off by rabbits,” Ragnar spat. “Three of you are dead. Eight more won’t hold a sword again. And not a single omega in chains?”His voice roared across the hall like thunder.“An omega organization did this to you?” He laughed coldly, a mirthless sound. “What’s next? You’ll tell me a pup made you piss your armor?”One man twitched at the insult. Ragnar noticed, and that was enough.He gr
Freya clenched her teeth, glaring at him. Her eyes darted to the number of soldiers emerging from the shadows behind him. She was weak, her people were injured. Just two days ago, the King's soldiers had attacked them. She didn't know how they were able to find their hideout. They were attacked so suddenly, but Freya had always trained her people to be ready for any attack at any moment. She had worked so hard to build a safe life for people like her, and she would not let the soldiers destroy it. Freya and her people fought hard against the soldiers. Her people were brutal in the fight. She had trained them in such a way. To be f*cking animals. Those soldiers were strong and lethal. They all were deadly Alphas. Freya made sure that all the children and pregnant women were transported to the safe tent, which guards protected, as she, along with every other warrior she had trained, stepped forward to face the soldiers. Atlas was the one on duty. He was a beta. One of her strongest

Ragnar rode at the front, towering atop his black horse like a shadow carved from obsidian. Not once did he glance back at the chained slaves dragging their bruised, bloodied feet across the stone-paved path that led into the heart of his kingdom. Their bare soles kissed the cold ground, skin torn and reddened from the relentless journey.The massive iron gates groaned open with a resonant creak, echoing like a growl through the valley below. Two days ago, these same gates had opened to receive his battered, bloodied, and humiliated soldiers. But now things were different. The King returned triumphant, dragging the rebels who dared raise their weapons against his throne behind him.His people were out there watching with wide, curious eyes, lined on the street as they shuffled back, making way for the King's caravan to pass. Murmurs erupted like wildfire in the crowd.Their curious eyes roamed the slaves, and a few frowned on them while many Alphas had their eyes set on the omega fema
