All Chapters of Capturing The Alpha King's Heart. : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

AQUAI could feel the poison taking effect as I staggered back for the fourth time. My wolf was fighting it as much as she could, but we both knew it was only a matter before I succumbed. My head felt like someone threw a rock at me, and 90% of my vision was already gone. Now, I was relying on my primal instincts of sound and smell but still, Gladys couldn't put me out yet."You're a fast one, I 'd admit that," Gladys said grudgingly, adjusting her stance. A small, nasty smirk appeared on her lips as she wiped the sweat running down her brow. "So I heard that you managed to get one of the sentinels to train you for the duel. Did you fuck him too?"My eyes immediately went to Bodhi who was acting as one of the umpires for the duel. From the slight narrowing of his eyes, I knew he heard us and that made me even angrier. "I told you to watch your dirty mouth, didn't I? Not every man cheats on his woman like yours, Gladys." I mocked.Gladys's face flushed red at my statement, providing me

GUNNARFor the first time, I felt my emotions almost overwhelm me when I heard them talking about Aqua in such a derogatory manner. They clearly could not accept Aqua's victory and the consequences that followed. If they had come to me and begged for mercy, I still might not have relented, especially since Gladys dared to poison my mate. But at least things wouldn’t have escalated to this point. When Tristan's grandmother and the others heard my wager, they panicked. I ignored their murmurs and crossed my arms, observing them. The good thing was that all the elders present were not related to Nathaniel Kincaid, which meant he wanted nothing to do with the situation. A wise decision. Hannah, who had sensed the intense atmosphere, cast a glance at the elders before intervening. "Gunnar, there's no need to be so harsh with them. They only wanted to clear up their suspicions concerning Aqua." She took a step closer and wrapped her arms around mine. "If you want them to drop the matter

AQUAAfter Gunnar passed on his verdict, I heard a sound from behind the closed door. The footsteps of someone leaving the scene sent a cold chill down my spine, but nothing was able to prepare me for the sight I saw when I returned to River's house. It was Hannah once again, trying to seduce my mate. She had her hands all over his body, but the worst part was that Gunnar didn't even seem to care about it. Here, I thought everything was fine between us. “Aqua?” River called out to me. His voice snapped me out of my thoughts, forcing me to turn away from the couple in front of me. “I just wanted to make sure you were alright. I mean, we really did encounter several dangers before coming here.”I released a soft sigh. “Well, I guess we were lucky to return in one piece.”If it wasn't for River's suggestion to hide the witnesses in one place, it would have been much harder to achieve our goal. When we were about to return, we reached a long traffic jam that threatened to delay us. The

AQUAThat evening, I packed my belongings and left Gunnar's house for good. No matter how hard I tried to convince him that there was nothing between me and River, he refused to believe me. Feeling helpless, I decided to leave and move to a new location.The new place was near the sentinel's quarters.When I arrived, I was so sad that I barely spoke to anyone as I settled into the safe house. I stayed indoors, crying on my bed about the day's events until I heard a soft knock on the door.My senses went into full-alert mode as I moved towards the door. The first thing I did was grab the small combat knife Bodhi gifted me before the duel. I suspected it might be Hannah since she had been trying to get me alone for a while. If she was here to fulfill her promise to make my life a living hell, then she definitely had another thing coming.But when I opened the door, my eyes widened with surprise when I saw one of my closest friends standing before me. My eyes scanned her figure from head

AQUAThe next day, Kianna and I went to the meeting hall to find Gunnar and tell him about Baylor. We even missed the mandatory pack run because we wanted to avoid any chances of running into Hannah or Baylor, but Gunnar still hadn't shown up. “Are you sure he’s always the first to arrive?” I asked Kianna, my anxiety rising each time a patrolling sentinel passed by and gave us curious looks. Fortunately, they all seemed to relax whenever they saw Kianna, but I feared we might attract unwanted attention.Kianna nodded, her face etched with a frown. “Yes, he’s usually the first one here. I have no idea why he’s late today.”I was also perplexed about his late arrival. From what I knew, the pack run should have ended a few minutes ago, so I wondered what was behind the delay. Did he have some unexpected arrangements, or was he still avoiding me?Sadness flooded my heart when I thought about how things ended for us the previous day. We had an awful argument and no matter how much I tried
