All Chapters of Flash marriage with the Alpha King: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Anita’s PovAs Alpha Hades, Beta Damian, and I walked down the corridor towards the meeting room, a strange sense of comfort settled over me. Despite the tense moments earlier, something about being in their presence made me feel more secure. Perhaps it was the realization that I was slowly becoming part of this pack, or maybe, was it was another? Maybe not.But as I stole another glance at Alpha Hades, I noticed something that made my heart skip a beat. A small, angry red wound scar on the otherwise flawless skin of his neck, just below his jawline. The sight of it sent a pang of concern through me, and I instinctively reached for the small tube of ointment I always carried in my pocket.“Alpha Hades,” I called out softly, causing him to pause and turn to look at me with a raised eyebrow.“Yes, Anita?” He responded.I hesitated for a brief moment, but the sight of the wound encouraged me to continue speaking, “I noticed you have a wound on your neck,” I said, holding out the tube of

Anita’s PovThe door clicked shut behind me, and I finally let out the breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. My heart was still pounding in my chest as the echoes of Alpha Hades’ stern command were ringing in my ears.I had caught Beta Damian’s gaze as I exited the conference room. He gave me a subtle nod of understanding, and I could feel some of the tension in my shoulders ease. At least someone in that room wasn’t looking at me like I’d committed a grave sin.Damian’s silent support was a small comfort, and I clung to it as I made my way down the corridor. My mind was racing, replaying the events of the past few minutes over and over again.I couldn’t believe I’d messed up so badly—bringing the wrong phone, accidentally reading a message that wasn’t meant for me, and then blurting out something so… stupid.I shook my head, trying to push the embarrassment aside. There was nothing I could do about it now. The only thing that mattered was moving forward and making sure I didn’t m

Anita’s PovEver since my mate rejected me, I had given up on the fantasy that a mate was meant to be my protector or savior. It was a harsh lesson to learn, but I had no choice. The bond that was supposed to be my safety net had unraveled, leaving me in freefall. The emptiness it in me left was so deep, but it wasn’t something I wanted to dwell on any longer. Instead, I had one goal after that fateful day: to secure a place in a pack. That’s why, when a stranger came to me, claiming to be my mate and offering marriage as a way into his pack, I agreed. It wasn’t about love or fate, it was for just survival.For the longest time, I had convinced myself it was a smart move. And it was, to a degree. Joining the pack had given me protection and a sense of belonging, though temporary. I played my role, kept my head down, and survived. But now, as I stood on the verge of annulling that bond, something felt different. I wasn’t scared. I wasn’t broken. I was ready to close that chapter of my

Hades’s PovI had dressed for a meeting that promised to be less than civil. The annulment with Anita was overdue, and as much as I wanted to be done with the pretense of our marriage, I knew I owed her this final closure. She didn’t deserve the tangled mess that had come with my title, nor the distance I had created between us.But just as I was preparing to leave my quarters, Beta Damian burst into the room, his expression a mix of urgency and hesitation."Alpha," Damian panted, holding up a phone. "The Moonshadow Pack has invited you to a ball tonight. The elders are going to be there as well."I frowned as irritation bubbling beneath my skin. "A ball? They really think I have time for that right now?"Damian shifted his weight, showing clearly that he was uncomfortable with delivering the news. "It’s the coming-of-age ball for their new Alpha heir. You know how crucial it is for you to attend. The Moonshadow Pack’s leadership has been unstable since their Alpha died, and the Luna..

Hades’s PovThe room seemed to hold its breath as I faced Amara. Her audacity had pushed me to the edge, and I could feel my wolf stirring, just beneath the surface, ready to lash out if she tried anything again. I had held back for the sake of the fragile political alliances at play, but there were limits, even for me."She’s my assistant, and she’s under my protection," I growled, my voice low and full of warning as I released her wrist. "You have no right to interfere in my affairs, Amara."Amara’s lips tightened as she pulled her wrist back, rubbing the spot where my hand had gripped her. Her eyes flickered with a mix of surprise and frustration, but she quickly masked it with that haughty expression she always wore when she felt cornered. "I was only concerned for your wellbeing, Alpha Hades," she said, her voice smooth but dripping with insincerity. "After all, it’s no secret that your so-called mate is of questionable background. You can’t possibly think this… arrangement will l
