The Lone Wolf - The Lost Female Alpha
The Lone Wolf: The Lost Female Alpha
Twenty years of lies. A crown of silver. Two monsters fighting for her soul.
Selina thought she was just a girl from the Thicket, raised in isolation by a protective aunt, told never to go into the city and especially never at night. But when a dying messenger collapses at her door, the "static" in her head finally finds its voice. She isn't human. She is the heir to the Silver Queen, and her blood carries the spark of a fallen empire.
Now, she's being hunted.
On one side stands Finn, known to the world as Kaelin's Hound - the lethal enforcer who helped burn her mother's palace to the ground. His touch is a wildfire of cedar and thunder, a fated mate bond that her body craves even as her mind screams murderer. He claims to be her protector, but every night she dreams of him with black eyes, standing over her mother's cooling body with a silver blade.
On the other side is Malakai, the enigmatic King of the Dead Zone. He moves through the Shadow Fog like silk over broken glass, offering a numbing escape from the heat of a bond she doesn't trust. He promises her freedom from Finn's "leash," but his eyes hold a predatory silver that suggests he wants a battery for his own dark power, not a Queen.
As the fog closes in and the "Silver Spark" begins to ignite, Selina must navigate a treacherous landscape of ancient covenants and blood-soaked secrets. In a world where even a loyal dog bites when it's hungry, she has to decide:
Is Finn the hero who will help her reclaim her throne, or the demon who was sent to finish the job?

Chapter 6
The heat in his eyes nearly unravelled me. The strong scent of cedar and rain filled my senses, overpowering everything else happening in that moment. I knew I needed to get up but that scent and the look in his eyes kept me glued to the spot. 'Mate.' My inner voice snarled. 'Take him now!'
I leant over slightly, my eyes trailing down his neck and chest. He smirked but his hands stayed glued to my hips holding me in place, heat pooling between our thighs. I felt conflicted - this man was a murderer sent to kill me, having supposedly killed members of my newly discovered pack family just to find me. And yet... the primal urge building inside me was undeniable. I shifted slightly, dragging my nails down his chest. He shivered but the smirk never left his lips, his eyes turning darker with the sheer thrill of my touch on his skin.
"Ahem" Elias cleared his throat abruptly disrupting my chain of thought and reminding me where we were. The scent of the woods returned, dirt and pine, and something else I couldn't quite place, something raw, feral and rotten. I pulled Finn's hands off my hips and stood, focusing on the space surrounding me, One... my own, racing. Two... Finn's, a steady war drum. Three... Elias', fluttering like a trapped bird. And then... a fourth. Slow. Mocking. Coming from directly above. Wait... Four?
A low, mocking laugh came then from above. I looked up to the canopy to see a mangy looking man sat watching us. He smelled of dust and wild sage tinged with rot. Finn shot up, defensively jumping in front of me.
The man jumped down. "Cane" Finn snarled disgustedly. "What do you want?"
Cane glared at Finn then smirked confidently. "Well, I see The Hound has found a new bone to chew on? Malakai said you'd be coming this way, Little Alpha." His gazed shifted as he took me in, assessing every inch of me to determine the level of threat.
Finn growled. A low, guttural growl that vibrated through my chest. Then I saw it. His shift was partial, a jagged display of lethal intent - fangs lengthening, claws tearing through his gloves, and eyes that ignited with the molten gold of a predator ready to kill. Ready. It wasn't a full shift but it was enough to make Cane step backwards slightly.
"Relax Hound" he snarled. "I am simply a messenger. This is Malakai's territory. If you want to pass there is a toll to pay."
"This is the dead zone" Finn's eyes didn't leave Cane's. "There is no territory here."
"Wrong" Cane smirked again. "This used to be the dead zone. Now it belongs to Malakai and to us - the rogues. See?" He pointed towards a tree. Burned into the bark was a symbol that looked like a wolf's jaw crushing a crown - the wood was charred and weeping sap, as if the tree itself were bleeding under the weight of Malakai's mark... It still smoked slightly, as if the wood was afraid to heal. A familiar scent struck me when I saw it. The scent of the voice that had intruded in my head. Of Malakai.
"What does he want with us?" I boomed, my aura of authority once again hazing the air.
Cane looked taken aback, surprised even, as something hit him and he answered. "The toll must be paid."
"How exactly?" I demanded once again.
"It is not money Malakai seeks but a test. Pass the test, gain through passage. Fail, the Little Queen comes with us"
Finn roared with anger, making his stance bigger, more protective in front of me. I could smell his anger, his fear of losing me, but more than that I could feel it.
"No. You dare touch her - I'll rip your throat out where you stand!" He snarled.
"What is your proposal?" I asked from behind the protective barrier of my hound.
"Malakai requests a demonstration of strength - the lady against one of us. Not a fight to the death, but to submission. He wants you to prove you are what they are saying you are and not just some human pet" Cane scoffed.
"Not a chance in hell" Finn growled through gritted teeth.
"Stop." I told him stepping around him.
'Let me out Selina. Let us fight. We can release our anger on him. Test our new found bond. Work with each other to tear him apart. Teach him a lesson he will never forget.' My inner beast paced a cage made of glass, her claws scratching against my consciousness as she begged to taste the copper of rogue blood.
"Silence" I said inwardly. If this was what needed to be done it would be done. But on my own terms. I stepped out from behind Finn.
"I don't need a Hound to bark for me. Tell Malakai I'll accept his test."
Finn froze, hurt clouding his gaze for just a fraction of a second. Then came the anger. He opened his mouth to roar, to order me back, to claim authority he didn't have.
"Selina..." He started.
"Silence!" I commanded.
The command didn't just leave my throat; it slammed into the space between us like a physical wall. The air shimmered with the heavy, silver scent of my power. Finn's jaw snapped shut with an audible click. His eyes widened in shock, the veins in his neck bulging as he fought against the invisible muzzle of my will, but he couldn't break it. He was a warrior, but I was his Queen.
I turned my back on him, facing the rogue.
"Tell Malakai I'm ready. Send your worst."

But my grandfather didn't see me as a hero. He saw me as a flawed piece of inventory.
To calm the board and fix the reputation I supposedly ruined, he forced me into an arranged marriage, auctioning me off to the highest bidder.
Desperate, I turned to my childhood friend, Egnacio, the only person who ever promised to protect me.

I was the black sheep of the wealthy Jenkins family, the villain in my adopted sister Jami's perfect story. Everyone adored her, the sweet, innocent heroine. I was just the difficult one.
Then, a system uploaded itself into my brain, showing me the script of my life. It wasn't just a story where I was the bad guy-it was a detailed blueprint for my entire family's destruction, all orchestrated by Jami.

My family saw her as an angel. They were completely blind, worshiping the very monster who was plotting to bury them all.
But the system that showed me this horrifying future also gave me a weapon. It let me hear their thoughts.

They could hear mine.

The day Erica was finally released, a speeding car intentionally slammed into her, shattering her spine. As she lay dying on the emergency room table, flatlining on the monitor, Colten and his pregnant mistress didn't come to save her. Instead, they tossed a stack of divorce papers onto her bloody hospital blanket. They wanted her to sign away her last remaining shares and take on thirty million dollars of toxic corporate debt.
"Sign it," Colten demanded coldly, looking at her crushed body with utter disgust. "Consider this the last bit of dignity I'm giving you."
The original Erica died right there, suffocating in despair and betrayal, unable to understand how the man she loved could be so monstrous.
But when the flatline on the monitor suddenly spiked and her eyes snapped open, the traumatized victim was gone.
Replaced by the cold, calculating consciousness of a future special ops commander. With microscopic nanobots rapidly fusing her shattered bones together, Erica picked up the pen, preparing to burn Colten's entire empire to ashes.
