Last night, Alpha Kendell visited Elder Dexter to query him about Ciara. Dexter had summoned Rose, whom he was sure could tell of the young maiden’s whereabouts.

"Rose, you have to help me out," Dexter spoke as she entered his chamber late last night.

"Why do you need me, Elder Dexter?" she asked, her voice serious.

Dexter, the cunning mastermind behind all the palace's dark dealings, studied her carefully.

He needed her—Rose, the head maid in charge of all the sacrifices brought to the palace and the rest of the female maids, but more importantly, she was the one who had helped him ten years ago.

"It's about the sacrifices, Rose. The Alpha is interested in one from about ten years ago," he said.

"What! Why now?" she asked, her eyes widening in shock.

"I am just as lost as you are," Dexter admitted, rubbing his temples.

"I don't know why," he said as he sat on the couch. "The name he mentioned is Ciara," Dexter added.

Rose clenched her fists, pacing anxiously. She had

  • A Volunteer For The Alpha Beast    Chapter 30. An Ally for Me

    KendellThe cool breeze of the night found its way through my open windows. I just needed a distraction—anything to stop me from going into Alexa's chamber. It was growing uncomfortably difficult with each passing day. Why had George refused to see Alexa? Was something wrong? And his bloody hands... I hadn’t seen George that upset in a while. What could have caused it? "Your Majesty..." A voice distracted me. "Yes?" I responded, my tone sharper than I intended. "The guard from Queen Alexa's chamber is here." My heart kicked against my ribs. Finally, some answers. "Let him in," I said, masking my anticipation. "Greetings, Your Highness." He gave a light bow. I gestured impatiently for him to continue. "Alpha Kendell," he said, as his green eyes settled on the paper in his hands, "Her Majesty had just one guest today—Lucy." "Is that all?" I asked, disappointed. "Yes, Alpha." He bowed. "You mentioned Nana going to Alexa's room last night, didn't you?" He hesitated before

    Alexa"Luna, you still haven't told me what's wrong?" Her brown puppy eyes were stuck on mine like a leech. "What do you want to know, Lucy?" I sighed as I laid back on the chair while she oiled my hair. "I thought she's your friend?" "Who are you talking about?" I asked, hiding the fact that I knew exactly what she was talking about. Her voice was calm as she braided my hair into two sections. "I'm talking about Nana, Your Highness." She adorned my hair with a ribbon as she sat closely. "I thought she was your friend?" "I thought so too," I retorted, looking away. "She was brutally beaten yesterday, Luna. Are you aware of that?" "Nana was rude to her queen, so she just got what she rightfully deserved..." Lucy looked at me, but said nothing. Yet behind the mask she wore, I knew there was disappointment. But I was done doing things just to be liked. I would do me, and if no one liked that, they could go hang themselves. I could feel Ava—my wolf—repulse me at the thought of t

  • A Volunteer For The Alpha Beast    Chapter 28. Prime Suspect

    KendellGeorge had promised to help me run a private investigation on Alexa's sister—Ciara. I needed to confirm whether Elder Dexter was telling the truth. I just hope the results are in my favor. "Alpha, you sent for me," Elder Dexter spoke as he returned to the Meeting Chamber where I was still seated. His expression was neutral, as always, but his sharp eyes scanned me for any hidden intentions. "Yes, Elder Dexter. Please take your seat," I gestured toward an empty chair. Once he was seated, I lowered myself into my own seat, straightening my posture. The air between us grew thick. I cleared my throat before going on, "Elder Dexter, you have been my father's chief counselor since he was young, right?" Dexter's gaze drifted into space as if searching for the answer in the past. "Yes," he nodded his head after getting the answer from space. "My father trusted your judgment, and your counsel has been invaluable to our pack." I paused to monitor his expression. He smiled as he

  • A Volunteer For The Alpha Beast    Chapter 27. Meant to Protect…

    AlexaThe door of my room creaked open after the normal interrogation process. I turned my head to see who it was this time. She popped her head in. I should be happy she was here, but I wasn't. "So you finally decided to show up?" I gave Nana a little frown as she strode toward my bed. "I'm sorry, my Queen," she said, her hands at her ears. She sounded weak. "What happened, Nana?" I sat up to face her. "I haven't seen you for days now." Nana was avoiding my gaze. "Talk to me, Nana." I turned her face to face me. She was crying. "Nana..." I said as I pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry if I raised my voice at you," I said, gently patting her head on my shoulder. "No, Alexa. I should be the one apologizing. I heard what happened to you, but I couldn't come because of my duties. I hurriedly came here since I was free." "It's alright, Nana. I thought as much." Nana wiped her tears as she looked at me. "Would you like me to speak to the Alpha to get you a different post?" "No,

  • A Volunteer For The Alpha Beast    Chapter 26. Insider

    Kendell The Crimson war was now over. The bloodshed had ceased, all thanks to the Bright Claw pack for their support. Norman was indeed right—weapons were needed not just in the face of battle but also in its absence. If the Crimson pack had taken Norman's advice the other time, it wouldn't have cost them so many casualties. The Sacred Chambers too were renovated, but not without us losing the pictures and memoirs of past kings and queens.A pain that would live in the hearts of the Silver Wolves pack forever. Alexa is fine now, but she still can't recall how she got to the cave.And now, the problem was that none of us had any idea who the traitor might be, as only someone from within could have done that. "This plan wasn't hatched in a day," Elder Cupa spoke, his voice grim."Yes," Elder Alister agreed. "And it would take the help of an insider to achieve that." His gaze swept across the room, suspicion glinting in his aged eyes."I mean, we were only in the meeting for n

  • A Volunteer For The Alpha Beast    Chapter 25. Quarantine

    AlexaIt has been two days now, and I still can't recall the event that made Alpha Kendell tighten up the security around my room. I mean, I was already a prisoner, but this time, it was worse. The guards watched me like hawks—I wasn’t even allowed to go out. And worse, if anyone visited, they had to be properly inspected. I could hear voices outside my room. I guess another inspection was going on. After a while, Lucy made it in with a food trolley. "Rise and shine, Luna," Lucy smiled as she walked in."Hello, Lucy." I muttered, barely glancing at her."How are you enjoying your staycation?" she teased, unfazed by my sullen mood. Without waiting for an answer, she began dishing out the food, as if I had no choice in the matter."You mean quarantine," I scoffed. "I'm just locked in here like someone with an infectious disease." Lucy chuckled. "His Majesty is just doing what he thinks is best for you." "Best for me? My voice turned sharp. "How can he know what's best for me with
