THE COLD HEARTED ALPHA

He was the Alpha with a heart of stone-cold, ruthless, untouchable. No one dared get close. Not until her.

After years of leading his pack with strength and silence, Alpha Kael has built a world where emotion is weakness and closeness is dangerous. Haunted by betrayal and loss, he's vowed never to let anyone past his walls again. But when a mysterious young woman with a fierce spirit and a tender heart crosses into his territory, everything begins to change.

She doesn't fear him. She doesn't flinch at his sharp words or cold gaze. And worst of all... she sees him. Not the Alpha. Not the legend. Just the man beneath the scars.

Now Kael must choose-continue living behind the fortress he's built, or risk everything for the one person who might finally be able to reach him.

Prologue:

The night was quiet, save for the distant howl of a lone wolf echoing through the mountains.

Kael stood at the edge of the forest, the moonlight casting silver over his broad frame. His eyes-sharp and cold as ice-scanned the darkness with the precision of a predator, yet they held something deeper. Something buried.

He had once known warmth.

Before the betrayal.
Before the blood.
Before he became the monster everyone feared.

Now he was Alpha. Not by choice, but by necessity. His pack followed him not out of love, but out of fear-and that suited him just fine. Emotions were dangerous. Connections were deadly.

So when he found her-lost, stubborn, unafraid-something inside him shifted.

He hated it.

She was everything he'd locked away in himself. Gentle. Persistent. Soft in all the ways he had forgotten how to be. She didn't belong in his world. And yet, here she was, slipping through the cracks in his armor with every look, every word, every moment.

He should have pushed her away.

But even stone hearts remember how to beat when the right person holds them.
