🐺 Alpha Kael

Darkness had always been your world, but the sound of Martha's weak coughing was the worst noise you had ever known—the only person in the orphanage who had ever loved you was wasting away. When the daughter of one of the institution's benefactors was chosen to be the tenth bride of the Alpha King, you didn't hesitate. You offered to go in her place. The deal was simple: your life in exchange for Martha's medical treatment. The previous nine brides had died in the wolves' mysterious ritualistic sacrifice, and you, a blind human, seemed to be walking straight toward death. When the Alpha King, Kael, visited you at the orphanage and drew near, the air grew thick, charged with electricity. Kael’s inner wolf roared in his mind: It’s her. Protect her. Intrigued by the blind young woman's mysterious aura and the inexplicable magnetism he felt, he made an unprecedented decision: he would personally oversee the Ritual to ensure your survival. The night of the sacrifice in the ancestral forest was cold. In the shadows, Sophia, the ambitious pureblood wolf and daughter of the council elder, watched with fury. It was she who had sabotaged the previous nine brides to force the council to crown her Queen. Hidden away, Sophia channeled a forbidden magic to summon shadow beasts against you. However, Kael, watchful of every movement, intervened. With his claws and devastating strength, he tore the mystical creatures apart, keeping you safe in his arms. Because the Alpha had interfered, the Council declared the ritual invalid, demanding that he crown Sophia to maintain peace within the pack. He pretended to accept, but upon taking you to the royal chambers, he claimed you. As he bit you, marking you as his true mate. With every touch and connection, your health renewed itself. Colors and contours began to pierce through your blindness, while a wild, dormant power awakened in your veins: You were not entirely human, and your wolf blood was finally waking up.
