Chapter twenty eight: compromiseAlpha Kai is in a very bad mood.That was the sentence whispered through out the pack house. Everyone did their best to stay out of his way, resorting to avoiding him. Kai heard the whispers when they thought he wouldn't. It only made him angrier. He hadn't been able to get a wink of sleep ever since he woke up beside Karen. That night had been permanently seared into his memory, and as the days went by he craved that rest more and more.He tried to get it from the healer. He had her create more and more sleeping potions for him. None of them worked.Kai tried to focus more on the blood moon preparations. He threw himself into the planning to try and take his mind off the slave girl who was someplace in the pack house laboring to death.At night when the preparations were over and every one was asleep, he would stare out of the window and watch the sun set and rise. Three more days passed.One time he lashed out at Nicolas and nearly lost his temper
Chapter twenty nine: the darkest blood moonKaren drew in large gulps of air trying to catch her breath.Her body felt aglow, like a slow fire had been lit and spread across her. She swore she could still see fireworks exploding at the back of her skull.She turned her head to see Kai, equally out of breath. He laid on the bed, facing the ceiling as his clothed chest rose and fell rapidly. Karen wanted to say something to him, but she wasn't sure what to say. She swung her legs off the bed and stood up her eyes searching for her clothes."What are you doing?" Kai asked. She turned to him. "I'm leaving." She replied."Did I tell you to?" He said. "Get back here."Karen slowly crept onto the bed watching him closely. "Lie down. Don't stay there and stare at me."Her heart fluttered at his words. She laid down, her head on the pillow and her eyes watching him. Was this allowed? The last time he had fallen asleep. But this time he was telling her lie with him."Go to bed Karen." He sai
Chapter thirty: twisted fateKaren realized she was groaning before she regained consciousness. Her head hurt like a truck had ran her over repeatedly. She grabbed her head, a loud groan of pain leaving her lips. Her body ached dully, there was an ache in her chest, a burning in her belly.What the heck had happened?!A cold swept through her body making her shiver, her teeth chattering in her mouth. Her eyes were out of focus for a full minute. Her head felt like it was filled with cotton wool. She looked down, surprised to see she naked.She paused, wondering why she was naked. The last thing she remembered was cleaning up her dinner plates and passing out. She looked around her, her heart dropping to her stomach when she recognized the cold damp walls she was surrounded by."No no no" She said, shaking her head. She was back in the dungeons.But why ?! She hadn't done anything bad!She shivered again, hugging herself and trying to generate some warmth. She crawled to a corner and
Chapter thirty one: skinny love"Did you get your mate?" Kai asked Nicolas, briefly raising his head from the paperwork he was doing. Nicolas paused, thinking of what to say. He couldn't bear to look him in the eye and tell him that his mate was Verena, the woman he was engaged to. So he kept mute, quietly flipping through the papers."Don't Tell me then." Kai said coldly And turned back to his work.The entire pack was celebrating the newly mated. Kai had spoken to them, a few words about the importance of the mate bond and how he wished them great luck. And then it was back to work. And he wasted no time summoning Nicolas.Verena. Of all the women, his mate had to Verena. Nicolas tried to push it out of his mind and focus on the work he was doing. He noticed a dark aura in the room, he noticed the lack of a particular slave girl."Where is Karen?" He asked Kai after a while."In the dungeons." Kai replied simply. "Where are the land deeds?""Dungeons?!" Nicolas exclaimed. "I know
Chapter thirty two: mistress of love Verena woke up, a huge smile on her face. She felt energized doing a small stretch in bed. Her mood was sky high."What a beautiful morning." She muttered, a smile planting sheepishly on her face. Today was the day that slave would get beheaded. Poor Karen to have fallen so gullible, she had thought she was way smarter, but damn it, she still rule. Once his Fiance and will always be his Fiancee.Verena couldn't contain her happiness. Ever since that slave's arrival, recalling how things had changed just in the days, weeks and month. She had thought she was going to loose the Alpha King forever.But now, it was all over. Well, in a few hours it will be. Kai had moved her execution to the evening to give the newly mated pack members a little more time to spend together. Speaking of mates, a frown came upon Verena's face. She had hoped with all her heart that her mate will be Kai. But that didn't happen. And she didn't care to know who it was after
Chapter thirty three: good news.Verena after settling the men for their jobs stayed back for a while after they had left to compose a letter for her father"There is so much I want to tell him!" She exclaimed, tapping the pen against her lips. "Where do I start?!"Daisy who had offered her back as a writing post wasn't sure of what to say. "Perhaps start with how you will soon be the Luna!"Verena thought about that for a while. "I'll just start with how his drugs worked perfectly fine!"She started to pen down the words she wanted to say, pouting out her gratefulness as much as she could. She knew her father would come through for her. He had always fone. Anything she asked he would do it for, and so would her brothers. She Knew that telling him about Karen it would only be a matter of time before something was done.He had given her a drug. According to him, it was a new formula he was working on. Wolves were normally resistant to human medicine, with their body systems being comp
Chapter thirty four: safetyWarriors suddenly poured into the dining room, alerted by the mind link. Twenty of them, huge and well built men. "Find her at once!" Kai commanded them. "And make sure you do it right!""Yes alpha!" The collective voices of the warriors thundered. They turned and stormed out, their heavy footfalls echoing down the halls."How could she have escaped?!" Kai asked no one in particular. Verena thought about what the warriors had said. If Karen truly had mind control then breaking out of prison would have been an easy task. But could she really get that far unaided?Verena felt a crack in her perfect plan. The good mood she has built up all day was suddenly going dark. She bit her thumb, a habit she had picked up whenever she was nervous. She slowly sat down, her mind racing. If Karen did manged to survive....Verena didn't want to think of the possibilities.Verena's attention was drawn to Kai. His body was visibly vibrating with anger and tension. His face
Chapter thirty five: dependencyKaren's eyes fluttered open to an unfamiliar room. The pastel colours were a stark contrast form the cold white walls of the servants quarters that she was used to. She looked around, wondering how she had gotten here. She slowly sat up in the bed that felt like fluffy clouds. She was wearing a nightdress that she sure as hell didn't wear when she ran away. Her memories came flooding back. She was running form Kai and his pack, and somehow she had got hit by a car.She looked around the room again. It looked like a princess room, girly and pastel. She didn't like the bright colors. It made her dizzy. She examined her body, there were no injuries. Not even a single bruise. It made her wonder just how long she had been asleep for for all those injuries to heal themselves.The door opened and a woman walked in back first. She saw Karen and gasped. "You're finally awake!" She exclaimed. The woman was petite and older. Her hair was gray cut to shoulder
