Alpha King Has a New Chosen Mate — I Smiled, Bowed, and Walked Out. His Wolf Lost Its Mind.

I was never supposed to be chosen. I knew that. I was the stillroom girl who smelled of camphor and crushed root, the lowest rung of the Iron King's court, and I had spent six years making myself very good at being unlooked-for.

So when King Soren stood on his dais and named another woman his chosen mate, I didn't cry. I didn't beg. I stepped forward, I congratulated him sincerely, I bowed the way the lowest bows to the highest — and I walked out with my head up and my eyes dry.

That was apparently the wrong move. Because three steps from the doors, his wolf lost its mind.

What I didn't know — what nobody had told the camphor girl — was why his wolf had been leaving white river stones at my door for three weeks. Why the strongest wolf alive had been dying slowly in front of his own court and calling it strain. And why the woman he'd just chosen wasn't my rival at all… but the only person in two territories who could carry what he was trying to keep off of me.

I thought he threw me away. I had no idea what he was actually protecting me from — or what it would cost us both when I finally found out.

💬 So tell me your theory: when he gave me away in that hall, was he being noble — sparing me a death I never agreed to risk? Or was he being a coward about the one thing he was brave about everywhere else, and calling it protection? I have my answer. I'm still not sure it's the right one. Drop it in the comments.
