The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 10. Kennedy's Plan
Fall had arrived.A season where her father sold her to King Alpha Brandon. The season of their big wedding.Back then, Rachel thought her miserable life had changed. When she saw the burning love in Brandon's eyes, she thought she had found her true mate.She was so naive.She was so stupid that she didn't realize Brandon's foul intentions to kill her. If she hadn't known that, would she not be able to see her baby now?Perhaps she had become a corpse, while her baby lived in agony with the cruel Brandon. 'No', she thought gloomily. Why was she thinking about that incident again?Rachel sighed and rested her head against the cold window. She tried to calm herself down, and after a while, she decided to organize her dresses.Time seemed to pass quickly that morning.As lunch progressed, Kennedy appeared and again engaged Rachel in a discussion about Alpha Brandon.Their conversation that morning wafted away like a passing autumn breeze, as Rachel still felt confused.However, Kennedy,
The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 11. A Punishment
After the approval Rachel took from their discussion, Kennedy did not delay in starting to train the woman.First of all, they learned to process Rachel's emotions so that she wouldn't be so easily affected by Brandon again."Imagine Brandon is in your head and you are talking to him directly." Kennedy instructed from a distance, while Rachel stood right in the middle of the meadow.It was not far from the palace, one of the Alpha's private fields.Rachel stood right in the middle of the meadow surrounded by giant redwood trees. The leaves were dense and formed a canopy-protecting them from the harsh midday sun.Rachel would begin to try to control her emotions so that she could focus when she faced Brandon.Brandon was the strongest King Alpha with intuition and strength unlike any other alpha. So far, no alpha from their federation had managed to defeat the man, so what Rachel and Kennedy were about to do would not be easy.Rachel began to follow Kennedy's instructions and closed he
The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 12. Get Her Revenge
The news of the death penalty that Guezz received has spread widely to other packs.The news spread like a fire that burns firewood, because this is the first time Pack Manowi has held a death penalty since 1000 years of existence.There were many rumors circulating, but one thing was certain, they only focused on discussing Brandon's cruelty without looking for clear reasons behind his actions.Talk of how cruel Brandon had been to kill a 'defenseless omega' became the main topic. Everyone who spread the news kept adding spice to make the story sound more interesting. Until then, the news reached the ears of the residents of Pack Leinz.'Guezz was sentenced to death by Brandon for defending his daughter who escaped from Alpha Brandon's cruelty'.Rachel, who had been practicing, became unfocused when she heard the news. Her whole body was trembling and she would have fallen backwards, if Kennedy hadn't hurriedly restrained her."Are you okay, dear?" asked Kennedy worriedly.Rachel sho
The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 13. Shoot the Target
"How is it now? Were you able to hit the target board perfectly without missing a beat?"Rachel looked at the arrow in her hand, then at Kennedy who was carrying the hunted fox. They had been practicing non-stop for a week, and the last part was to make sure Rachel could hit the bull's-eye. She was getting more and more excited about practicing, especially since her power control was already qualified to fight Brandon."Yes, I'm sure I can do it," Rachel said.Kennedy grinned happily, then hung the dead fox in her hands from one of the trees. It was very far and high from Rachel's position."If you can hit that fox in the eye, then your training is complete." Kennedy moved away from the target tree and nodded at the woman.Rachel suddenly felt nervous, considering this was her first time shooting at a living creature. Usually only target boards or fruits."Come on darling, prove your ability to kill that vile bastard named Brandon." Kennedy deliberately turned up the heat at Rachel's
The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 14. Brandon?
The arrow shot straight into Brandon's back.Rachel's smile automatically grew, but then faded as the arrow bounced off. Her eyes widened in shock as she realized that the man was wearing armor under his cloak.The man turned his head quickly. His sharp eyes seemed to glow in the darkness. Rachel's shock grew when she saw the man's face.He was not Brandon, but Victor.She was wrong. She had made a big mistake!Rachel only focused on the man's broad back, which reminded her of Brandon's posture. Brandon always wore thick, wide robes, and now, she was mistaken just because Victor was wearing similar clothes.'Fool!'Rachel cursed herself and took a lightning-fast step back. Unfortunately, Victor who had seen her presence did not stay still.The man turned into a wolf and Rachel ran with all her might. Her heart was beating like a gong as she jumped over a tall rose bush."Stop right there! I said stop!"Rachel jumped towards the palace wall, but instead of making it out, her body felt
The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 15. War?
"Alpha Brandon? What do you mean by stop? This woman is a traitor!"Beta Victor gave his Alpha a questioning look. He didn't understand why Brandon still felt sorry for Rachel who had hurt him.He had seen how Brandon suffered for months, just to find Rachel's whereabouts. Then after being cruelly rejected, he still wanted her?Victor certainly didn't understand how Brandon felt about Rachel. But as Brandon's loyal Beta, he didn't want him to get caught up in Rachel's temptation again."Alpha...""Let me handle everything, Victor," Brandon said with his gaze not leaving Rachel's face. He didn't look at Victor at all and motioned the man to leave with his hand.Victor had no choice but to nod, although he still couldn't get over what Brandon was doing."Sweety." Brandon approached slowly, his eyes tracing Rachel's disheveled appearance, then stopping at her wounded stomach."DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!" Rachel roared. Her eyes blazed with anger, causing Brandon to stop in his tracks. The lo
The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 16. Two Alphas Mate
Brandon had just finished taking his medicine when Victor came in with a panicked look on his face.He approached Brandon with his breath caught in his throat, looking as if he had run from a great distance."Alpha Brandon," he said with difficulty. Victor took a breath, then continued, "There's a big problem going on."Brandon stared in confusion. "What is it? Why do you look so panicked? Where are you from?""I just went to the border and saw the Alpha of Pack Leinz. He's coming with his army and is closing in on our territory," Victor explained.Kennedy, Brandon thought.There was no mistaking it, they must be looking for Rachel.Brandon quickly grabbed his cloak and looked at his Beta. "Come on, we need to get to the border.""But Alpha, you're not fully recovered." Victor gave a worried look. All this time, Brandon had only been traveling around inside the palace, while the border was a great distance away. Victor was afraid that his Alpha's health would deteriorate because of th
The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 17. New Plan
Rachel fell silent on the bed while hugging her knees. A heavy sigh escaped her mouth. She felt very troubled at the thought of exchanging herself for her baby.So, when Rachel woke up in the morning, she heard the chatter of the servants in the palace hallway. They said that Brandon and Kennedy had made a deal. Later, Victor arrived to confirm everything.Kennedy could take Rachel back to Pack Leinz without hindrance, but in exchange, Brandon would take the baby.Rachel wasn't exactly willing to give her baby to a vile man like Brandon, but she knew there was something Kennedy was up to. There was no way the man would agree to Brandon's offer without having a hidden agenda."Rachel?"The call made Rachel turn her head. She saw Brandon standing in the doorway, staring at her with a closed expression. I don't know what was going through the man's head, but he seemed more in control than ever."Come on out, Kennedy's waiting outside with your baby."Rachel squeezed his hand and let out

The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 69-A Secret
The cold wind carried a mist that blurred the view ahead. The forest Viviane traversed grew denser, with towering hawthorn trees lining her path.The sunlight could no longer penetrate the thick canopy of interwoven branches. Though it was still morning, the place resembled a moonless night.Viviane wiped the sweat from her forehead and glanced at Volkov, who was sleeping soundly in her arms. The distinct scent of trees after the rain had lulled him to sleep. The place was damp and quite chilly, prompting her to find a better spot to rest."Where are we heading, Miss Viviane?" Gonder asked, scanning the unfamiliar surroundings. He and his wife were both weary and hungry, but they had found nothing edible along the way.Viviane sighed tiredly. "We should head west, toward where the sun sets."Gonder and Suzy nodded, having no other suggestion for their destination. Leading the way, Viviane secretly felt unsure of where to go, but she couldn’t afford to show her hesitation.Suddenly, so
The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 68-Leave!
"Take them all out. Today, they will be taken to the border." That morning, Brandon immediately gave orders to his Beta. Following his claim and official proclamation, Brandon wanted Viviane and her followers to leave Pack Leinz immediately. Victor nodded obediently and hurried to the dungeon. Brandon then turned to Rachel, who was seated beside him. Her face was furrowed, lost in thought. “Sweety, are you alright?” “Mm, yes.” Rachel snapped out of her thoughts and pulled the corners of her lips into a smile. “I was just... just thinking about Viviane's departure and…” “What is it? Are you worried?” Brandon asked, raising an eyebrow. Rachel fiddled with the ribbon of her gown and nodded. “A little. I’m afraid she might do something after Kennedy’s death. She’s skilled at concocting poisons, and... I’m just scared she might seek revenge,” Rachel admitted, rubbing her neck uneasily. She wasn’t sure why she was suddenly dwelling on it, especially since Viviane was just an ordinary
The Cruel Alpha's Mate CHAPTER 67-The Declaration
Rachel and Armani sprinted through the forest, their hearts pounding with both anticipation and joy. Rachel had heard from the Moon Goddess that Brandon had triumphed over Kennedy in their duel. He had taken control of Pack Leinz following Kennedy’s death in their battle. Initially, Rachel was deeply worried, knowing Kennedy and Viviane often resorted to underhanded tactics. But she was also aware that Brandon’s strength was unmatched. “Mom, are we almost there?” Armani asked, matching his mother’s pace as they navigated the dense forest. The pungent smell of moss lingered in the air after a light drizzle had fallen just moments before. “Almost there, sweetheart,” Rachel replied. “Are you tired?” “Not at all!” Armani exclaimed, shaking his head with a determined look that made Rachel chuckle. “I’m the heir to Pack Manowi, strong like my father. There’s no way I’d feel tired.” Rachel let out a soft laugh, gently patting the top of Armani’s head, charmed by his confidence. “In th

Brandon made the announcement in a booming voice, addressing the guards, servants, Beta Gonder, Beta Suzy, Viviane, and her nine-year-old son—Volkov Li. He stood before Kennedy’s throne, with Victor positioned just below the steps. Everyone knelt before Brandon, affirming his claim over Pack Leinz. Viviane and Kennedy’s two Betas were forced to kneel under the pressure of Brandon’s overwhelming power. Viviane clenched her fists, her fury still burning deep within. Her tears had dried, but her heart was shattered beyond repair. She knew her life would change drastically after Kennedy’s death, but now she had one single purpose. She had to avenge Kennedy. She had to kill Brandon mercilessly, just as he had done to her husband. Viviane glanced at her son, who was bowing his head beside her. His face was pale and downcast, his lips sealed tight for hours. He was still deeply shaken by Kennedy’s death and Brandon’s claim over the pack that should have been inherited by Volkov. All he
The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 65-Volkov...
"Viviane..." Kennedy struggled to speak, his voice barely audible. He coughed violently, more blood pouring from his mouth and staining his chin and neck. Viviane was hysterical, her cries echoing in the tense silence. "No! Don’t say that! Healers! Where are the healers?!" she screamed, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks. "Someone call the healers now! Why are all of you just standing there?!" "No... Viviane... I don’t think... I can hold on... any longer," Kennedy stammered, his voice faltering. His trembling hand lay weakly in Viviane’s grip, his chest rising and falling rapidly. Viviane sobbed harder, her tears falling on Kennedy’s pale face. She clung to him desperately, her world unraveling as her husband teetered on the brink of death. Around them, the crowd remained silent, their expressions grim. No one dared move or utter a word; they all knew there was nothing they could do now. Kennedy's defeat was absolute. Blood continued to pour from Kennedy’s mouth, stai
The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 64-Kennedy!!!
“What did you just say, you bastard?!” Brandon growled deeply. Kennedy chuckled and pressed his hand against Brandon’s chest, forcing him to remain pitifully pinned down. “Yes, because soon enough, that poison will make you wither away, slowly destroying your organs,” Kennedy whispered. Brandon’s eyes widened in shock at those words. He struggled to free himself from Kennedy’s hold, but his strength had mysteriously vanished. Something was wrong in their duel. The poison. It was the poison that had rendered him this weak. Brandon’s gaze darted to the tip of Kennedy’s spear lying beside him, glistening with a clear liquid. He had been so focused on Kennedy that he had failed to notice the details of the weapon. Brandon cursed himself inwardly for being so careless. How could he forget Kennedy’s cunning nature—and that of his wife? Especially after Rachel’s own experience of being struck by a poisoned arrow. Brandon should have realized it earlier. They would do anything to win.
The Cruel Alpha's Mate Chapter 63. The Challenge
After calming herself, Viviane followed Kennedy to the front courtyard of the palace. There, Brandon stood fully armored, facing off against Kennedy. A silver sword, famed for its magical properties, hung at his waist. His gaze locked onto Kennedy, who didn’t look away either. The tension in the courtyard of Pack Leinz was palpable, creating an eerie atmosphere. Moments passed in silence, intensifying the suspense. A gentle breeze blew, causing the hairs on everyone’s necks to stand on end. Both Betas and the guards watched each other cautiously. Some of them were breathing shallowly, waiting for these two top-ranked Alphas to break the silence. Finally, Brandon let out a sharp breath and spoke, "I’ve come here to challenge you honorably! A one-on-one duel using the full extent of our Alpha powers. Win or lose, the stakes are Pack Manowi and Pack Leinz." Kennedy narrowed his eyes and smirked. "Are you serious about your offer?" "Of course." Brandon grinned. "I’m not one to make f

As usual, Armani was busy with his morning training routine. Rachel was trying to sew a cloak for Armani when Brandon entered the room, his face serious. Rachel quickly set down the fabric in her hands and looked at her husband. “Brandon?” “Sweety, I need to talk to you about something important,” Brandon said, taking a seat in front of Rachel. Rachel frowned. “What is it?” Brandon cleared his throat, hesitating for a moment as if unsure about how to deliver his plan. But his resolve was firm today. “I’m going to the Pack Leinz territory to challenge Kennedy to a duel.” “What?” “I know you might think I’ve let it go, but I haven’t, Rachel. My plan for revenge remains unchanged,” Brandon explained, quickly taking Rachel’s hand in his. “But you don’t need to worry. This isn’t a war involving our entire pack, just a one-on-one duel between me and Kennedy. I can’t let him keep acting recklessly and harassing you.” Rachel looked concerned, biting her lower lip as she gazed at Brand
