Alesha Stokes 

Step 01—(Becoming the Prey?)  

I couldn’t move.  

Shock paralyzed me, my wide eyes locked onto the man before me—an impossible vision come to life. My heart pounded so violently against my ribs that I feared he could hear it. Every drop of water trailing down his pale skin only made the moment feel more surreal.  

But that wasn’t the worst part.  

The worst part was his gaze.  

Deep. Sharp. Predatory. As if he were assessing me, studying me—playing with me. There wasn’t a trace of surprise or awkwardness in his expression. Quite the opposite… he seemed to be enjoying this.  

And then, he moved.  

Slowly. Unhurried.  

My breath caught in my throat as he took a step closer. I had never seen a wolf like him before—not in stories, not in legends.  

"What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?"  

His voice scraped against my skin like warm sandpaper. Deep, velvety, laced with amusement that sent a shiver down my spine.  

I should run.  

Step away.  

Do anything but stand there like an idiot.  

But the moment I stepped back, he stepped forward.  

Then, without warning, he leaned in.  

His face stopped mere inches from mine—close enough for me to feel the warmth of his breath ghosting over my skin.  

Close enough for my heart to plummet, lost somewhere deep inside me.  

The air grew thick. My mind spun in a whirlwind of shock, confusion, and something else—something I refused to name.  

He was close. Too close.  

My gaze roamed over his flawless face, his damp skin, the dark strands of hair clinging to his broad shoulders. Everything about him radiated raw power and an overwhelming presence.  

"You look nervous." 

The teasing lilt in his voice made me swallow hard.  

And then, he smiled.  

Not a sweet smile. Not a friendly one.  

It was the smile of someone who enjoyed watching others squirm.  

My legs finally obeyed me, forcing me to take a quick, stumbling step back.  

"I… I must’ve walked into the wrong room."  

The excuse fell weakly from my lips. We both knew he wouldn’t buy it for a second.  

But he didn’t back away.  

If anything, he moved even closer.  

"The wrong room, huh?" He murmured, running his tongue over his lower lip as if savoring the moment. "Interesting… because you don’t look like you want to leave."  

Heat rushed to my face, burning me from the inside out.  

Was this a game? Was he toying with me?  

"I shouldn’t be here."  

"No, you shouldn’t." He nodded slowly. "But you are." 

My heart jolted when he lifted a wet hand, as if to touch my face.  

That’s when I realized just how close he really was. And also…  

My gaze drifted downward, involuntarily. And I saw it.  

He was rigid. Hard.  

Was he… aroused?  

Instinct finally screamed louder than the chaos in my mind, and for a brief second, I thought my heart might explode.  

All I could do was spin on my heels and bolt out of the bathroom, not daring to look back.  

I ran down the hallway, my breath unsteady, my face and neck burning. My footsteps barely made a sound against the cold floor. I just wanted to lock myself in my room and pretend none of that had happened.  

But how?  

His image, his voice, the way his eyes held me captive like chains...  

What the hell was that?  

When I finally reached my room, I slammed the door shut and leaned against it, trying to catch my breath. My heart pounded harder than ever.  

After all...  

Who was that man?  

Just some soldier?  

Or… was he really the Supreme Alpha?  

I had no idea.  

All I knew was that, from now on, I needed to be much more careful about which doors I walked through.  

I threw myself onto the bed, trying to steady my breathing. My body was still hot, and his image refused to leave my mind.  

That gaze.  

That presence.  

That shameless provocation.  

I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing myself to get a grip. This meant nothing. Nothing.  

The Supreme Alpha, according to the rumors, was practically invisible. People said he never looked at women—or at anyone, really—with any sort of romantic interest. He ruled from a distance, isolated, untouchable. So... what the hell was that?  

Everyone even said he was gay… So why the hell did he have a hard-on?  

My entire body burned just remembering that scene.  

Was the man I saw in the shower really just a soldier? Someone of high rank, maybe?  

I wanted to believe that, but deep down, I knew the truth.  

That wasn’t just any man.  

That suffocating power, the way he moved like he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders…  

If I had to bet, I’d say yes. He could only be the Supreme Alpha.  

But I needed to be sure.  

And I would be.  

Tomorrow was the ball.  

The event I’d been assigned to help prepare. The perfect opportunity to finally see, with my own eyes, the untouchable wolf who ruled over all of us.  

My heart pounded at the thought.  

Because I wouldn’t be the only one seeing him.  

He would see me too.  

And then? What would happen?  

I had no idea. Not a clue.

    Matthew Dawolf (A new toy?)Blood was still dripping down my arms as I walked through the palace corridors. The scent of iron mixed with adrenaline still pulsed through my veins. Another battle won. Another enemy taken down. And, as always, no one dared to look me in the eye. Fear was a scent deeply ingrained in this palace. They knelt, averted their gazes, whispered about me as if I were a ghost. Maybe I was. Most of those who had challenged me were long buried. I let out a breath, feeling the stiffness in my muscles. I needed a bath. I strolled through the halls without urgency, each step echoing in the silence of the night. The servants kept their distance, as if my very presence could swallow them whole. I shut the door to my room and removed my armor piece by piece. The metal clattered against the floor, exposing the cuts and bruises still decorating my skin. Nothing that wouldn’t heal quickly. Running a hand through my long hair, I loosened the tie, letting it fall

    Alesha Stokes — Step 2: Surviving the Winter BallI barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, he came back. That body—sculpted as if the gods themselves had carved every inch. Warm, damp skin under the dim light, long dark hair cascading over broad shoulders. And those eyes… Those damn red eyes that looked like they were devouring every piece of me. I woke up multiple times throughout the night, breathing heavily, trying to push away the images that haunted me. But it was useless. My body was still burning, and the sensation of being so close to that man lingered on my skin. As the morning light crept into the room, I sat up in bed, rubbed my face, and gave myself a few light slaps to shake off any lingering drowsiness. "Alright… Enough of this."Today was the ball. The highly anticipated Winter Ball, where kings, alphas, and the elite gathered to flaunt their power and influence. But more than that, today was the day I would find out the truth. If the man in the bath

    Alesha Stokes — Step 2: Trying? Surviving the Winter BallI stared at myself in the mirror for a few seconds, feeling a slight discomfort as I met my own gaze. I looked… beautiful. Not in the way I used to be before everything fell apart, but in a way I hardly recognized anymore. The dress fit well, my skin looked softer after washing my face and applying some blush and lipstick, and my eyes—no matter how dark—still held a different kind of golden shimmer. I took a deep breath, pressing the necklace Marilyn had given me against my chest, still trying to get used to it all.After adjusting my hair one last time, I stepped out of the room and headed toward the kitchen, where the real work for the day would begin. As soon as I walked in, I felt the weight of their stares. It wasn’t new, but this time, the attention was different. A few whispers broke out, and one of the guards looked me up and down before stepping closer, a slow, interested smile tugging at his lips. "Are you

    Alesha Stokes — In Trouble?Nervousness gnawed at my chest. The words echoed through the kitchen, and my heart pounded so hard I could feel the pulse in my throat. "Come on, girls!" The housekeeper’s sharp voice rang out, making me flinch. "I don’t want anyone standing around. The Supreme Alpha has already been announced, and the party has started. Don’t embarrass me!" My hands tightened around the tray.I shouldn’t be here. I don’t belong in this place. The golden lights of the hall shone through the slightly open door, and the murmur of sophisticated voices blended with the refined music filling the air. I didn’t know how to act like them. I didn’t know how to walk, how to talk, how to avoid suspicious stares. All I knew was how to survive, how to hunt, how to hide. And now, surrounded by servants who seemed perfectly at ease in this world, I felt completely out of place. What if I dropped something? What if they looked at me and saw that I wasn’t one of them?

    Anabelle Mixon – An intruder in my plans? The night was perfect. Every detail of the Winter Ball had been meticulously planned to impress. Crystal chandeliers hung from the vaulted ceiling, music echoed softly through the air, and the scent of expensive wine mingled with the sweet fragrance of flowers arranged in every corner of the grand hall. But honestly? None of it mattered to me. The only reason I was here, dressed like a true goddess, was him. The Supreme Alpha. With each passing year, my patience grew thinner. Ever since I could remember, he was all I ever wanted. He was my goal. My destiny. Yet, he had always kept me at a distance. Since childhood, I had done everything to stay close to him. I followed him through the palace corridors, watched his training sessions, tried to invite him on outings… But he never looked at me the way I wanted him to. Never. And now that I was a woman, there were no more excuses. No man had ever resisted my charms, my allur

    Alesha Stokes — Step 04 — "Keep Control Of The Situation... If You Can" The air around me felt heavy. My heart pounded in my chest, yet I could barely breathe. He… is right behind me. I could feel his presence—suffocating, overwhelming. My hands trembled slightly as I kept my eyes locked on the lord in front of me. Unlike me, he reacted instantly. The moment he saw the Supreme Alpha, his body shrank. He lowered his head in a rush, almost like an instinct for survival. “I-I'm sorry… Y-Your Grace…” His voice wavered, and he swallowed hard before continuing. “It’s not what it looked like! I was merely complimenting… the service… The entire kingdom knows your servants are the best…” I wanted to believe that was enough to end the matter. But it wasn’t. The Supreme Alpha didn’t respond. The chatter in the hall died instantly. I could feel the weight of countless eyes on us. The lord before me looked on the verge of collapse. His ragged breathing and restless finger

    Alesha Stokes — Murder? I took a deep breath, trying to calm the boiling blood in my veins. I needed to get a grip. This was my chance to get closer to him, to learn more about him… But if I kept acting like this, I’d lose everything before I even got started. I straightened my posture, smoothing the folds of my dress with trembling fingers. I had to stick to the plan. I had to be smart. But damn it… why did everything always have to go wrong for me? I forced myself to focus on my work, but the sound of the door opening and closing along with the movement of the servants who kept coming and going was distracting me. When I turned around angrily, I saw the guard from before approaching.What did he want with me now? At the sight of him, the servants began to leave one by one, as if the mere scent of trouble had scared them off. Only two remained in the kitchen, but they were too busy whispering to each other, casting sideways glances in my direction. My body tensed as the g

    Alesha Stokes— No way out?My chest tightened. If this was what I thought it was, someone was trying to kill the Supreme Alpha. A rush of adrenaline shot through my body, tingling beneath my skin. I bolted toward the kitchen door and spotted the servants crossing the hall, balancing trays with impeccable posture. Among them, the girl carrying the Supreme Alpha’s tray. My fingers clenched around the wooden doorframe. My heart pounded. I need to do something. Immediately. I turned desperately, searching for the guard, but he wasn’t there. The housekeeper was gone too. Alone. I was completely alone. Damn!Could it have been on purpose? Could they have planned to do this when there was no superior here to notice?If I didn’t act that very second… the Supreme Alpha would be dead. I could be wrong. Maybe it was just a strong spice, an ingredient I didn’t recognize. But… what if it wasn’t? What if I did nothing and he died? If he died, my chance at freedom would d

    Alesha Stokes — Preparing the Prey"Megan?!" My voice came out as a loud whisper—almost a muffled scream.She stopped but didn’t turn around. I took a deep breath and rushed toward her, crossing the kitchen with my heart racing.What the hell was going on here? What was happening to everyone?First the village… Marilyn… and now Megan?Was this some kind of divine test? A punishment? A curse?I didn’t know what to think. But my heart—my wolf—was restless, uneasy. Tired of all the pain. Tired of this damned life filled with nothing but suffering."What happened to you?" I asked, hurrying closer, trying to keep my voice low. "What’s that on your face? Why is everyone acting so strange?"Megan looked at me. Her eyes were still the same—but dimmed. Like something had been ripped out of them. She gently grabbed my arm and whispered through clenched teeth:"Keep your voice down. Not here.""Megan, what’s going on?" I pressed, my voice catching, my chest tightening with every word. "Where’s

    Alesha Stokes — Back to the BattlefieldThe night had barely brushed against me.I drifted in and out of sleep, just a few minutes here and there, between sighs and scattered thoughts—each one pulling me awake with a new fear, a fresh memory. My eyes burned with exhaustion, but the weariness of the mind has always been crueler than that of the body.Before the sun had even risen, I was already on my feet.I got dressed quietly, trying not to wake anyone. Marilyn was in a deep sleep, her face peaceful for the first time in days. Her friends were scattered around the floor on makeshift mattresses, all fast asleep. I stood there for a moment, watching them, my heart tight in my chest. I wanted to hug them, to thank them for everything… but I knew if I woke Marilyn, she’d try to make me stay. And this time, I couldn’t afford to waver.I slung my bundle over my shoulder, pulled the thickest cloak I had over my head, and walked to the door.Just before stepping out, I looked back at the hou

    Alesha Stokes — Protective InstinctThe night dragged on, painfully slow, as if time itself wanted to remind me that the next day was getting closer with every breath.I couldn’t sleep.I stayed seated in the wooden chair beside Marilyn’s bed, my eyes fixed on the window, fogged by the cold. Moonlight slipped through the gaps in the worn curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. My fingers were laced together, stiff from the chill, and my body was too exhausted to relax.Every time a shadow moved outside, every gust of wind that howled stronger, my chest tightened.Were they still out there?Those guards... that man.Had they figured anything out?Had they seen enough to report back to the royal guard? To the Supreme Alpha?My heart ached.And it ached even more as I looked at Marilyn, lying on that old, worn-out bed, her bandaged arm just a stump now, her face pale. I kept asking myself how I could leave her like this, how I could find the strength to walk away again.But... I had

    Alesha Stokes — Gods, are you listening?Snow had already begun to pile up along the edges of the path, crunching beneath my feet as I hurried forward with Marilyn’s arm draped over my shoulders. Her other arm—or what was left of it—was wrapped in bandages, but the fabric was already damp and turning red. Every step she took made my heart clench. She could barely stand, yet she insisted on leaving the house. Her stubbornness was still stronger than the pain.“Alesha…” her voice came out weak and weary. “What did those guards want? Do you... do you think they found out?”“Shhh... take it easy,” I whispered, adjusting her body more securely against mine. “Don’t worry about that now, Grandma. You need to rest. You’re still bleeding.”She muttered something under her breath, as if refusing to accept her own condition. As if weakness itself was an insult.“What if...something happens to the girl from Loures? That child… Alex promised—”“He won’t lay a finger on her,” I said, picking up the

    Edward Wood — The Scent of SecretsI stopped my horse right in the center of the village. Dismounted with firm steps, the sound of my boots echoing against the packed dirt road. The night’s cold was sharp enough to freeze bones, but I barely felt it anymore. What did bother me was the silence—that heavy, unnatural kind—the kind that only settles when something is very, very wrong.“Where is the Alpha in charge of this village?” I called out, my voice cutting through the narrow streets, bouncing off the weathered houses and half-open doors.No answer.People started to emerge slowly, like shadows afraid of their own light. The elderly, women, even children—all wearing the same hollow look in their eyes.Fear. It was fear I saw in every face. Not the kind you feel in front of an ordinary enemy... but the kind you feel toward someone who’s supposed to protect you.I stepped toward a group, keeping my posture steady. One of the men, probably the oldest among them, lowered his head the mo

    Edward Wood — Dirt Swept Under the Rug?It had been a few days since Matthew looked at me with that expression—one I’d only seen once before, during the war. A mix of confusion, instinct, and silent desperation. For the first time, he didn’t know what to do about a woman. And that worried me more than any threat or war dispatch ever had.Matthew had never faltered. Never doubted himself. But all it took was the arrival of that new servant at the palace for him to lose his grip. He called me in and gave me a simple mission: “Find out who she is. Everything.” That was enough for me to temporarily abandon my duties with the elite guard and focus on watching… Alesha Stokes.At first, I thought he was overreacting. Sure, she was beautiful, different, yes. But still, just an omega. But the moment I saw her... something in me recognized what he’d felt. She had...something. Those eyes... they weren’t ordinary. It wasn’t just beauty—it was something wild, restrained. Like a wolf on a l

    Alesha Stokes — Taking the ReinsIt had been four days since I arrived in the village. And even after all the hell they’d been through, I could see it with my own eyes—they were trying to rebuild.I wasn’t an expert. Not a doctor. Not an experienced farmer. But I did everything I could to help—and then some. I tended to Marilyn’s wounds, even if my hands trembled with fear of doing something wrong. I tried to bring flavor to the meals with the few ingredients left in the pantry and shared them with anyone in need. I worked in the gardens, even with the frozen ground and snow covering everything.And most importantly—I was there.Somehow, I felt useful.Needed.People started looking at me differently. The way the neighbors greeted me in the alleys—with shy nods and genuine smiles—showed me they saw who I really was. Someone who cared. Someone who stayed.Someone who tried.The kids played with me like they trusted me. The elders came to me for comfort, for help.I had b

    Alesha Stokes — A New Target Marked… Alex MadsonShe closed her eyes for a second, taking a deep breath before answering.“Alex Madson came to the village. In person.”Those words made my jaw clench.That bastard.“He… came to collect the overdue taxes. He was furious. Said we were taking advantage of the winter to avoid paying. But... two families stood up to him. They said they couldn’t take it anymore. That they were starving. That they had nothing left to give… And Alex…”She choked up, and I gripped her hand tighter.“He took the youngest daughter from the Loures family. A little girl… barely old enough to hold a spoon on her own. Said he’d skin her alive in the village square. Said he’d make an example out of her.”I felt my throat tighten.“I… couldn’t let that happen,” she continued, her voice breaking, eyes brimming with tears. “I went to him. I begged. I pleaded with him to stop… to let her go. I told him… he could do it to me instead, if he needed an example.”“Marilyn…” I w
