His Rejected Slave 39
JASON"Yes, I'm madly in love with you."Boy, that was swift!Where did that come from!I was sitting quietly alone in my room, anxiously waiting for a response from her. I had lost count on the number of times I had looked at the text message. A mix of excitement and nervousness filled my heart each time I bowed my head to look at it. Even though that was not how I wanted it, I could not help but feel proud of myself for finally taking the step to express my feelings to her.'That's what real men do,' my father had told me the previous day.As I read it over and over again, a small smile crept onto my face, and I began to imagine all the possibilities of what our future could hold if she gave me the golden yes!If she agrees to be my girlfriend, I would spend the rest of my life, whatever is left of it, making her happy."I love adventures; I love to explore places, to travel to space and be where only few humans have ever dared to be. I would also like to travel under

DEFOREST"Father!," I had yelled, standing in the way of the swordsman, blocking his whip from reaching her.I could not believe I had stood in the way of his command to the swordsman. I had acted swiftly, at the spur of the moment, without even thinking of what the consequences of challenging the alpha was.I could not afford to watch her die, even though I had no idea what she had done.The alpha looked at me with so much shock on his face. His eyes glowed with anger. Certainly, he had not seen that coming. He was not used to seeing me not be on the same page with him. This was one area he knew I was better than Declan. I could readily carry out his 'kill' order without bothering to ask him any question. "Deforest!," he called out, clinging to his fist with so much vigor. It's not a sight I wanna behold again."Father," I began, carefully keeping my distance, for I feared his reaction if I took another step closer to him. "What is her offense?"The identity of th

DECLAN"Deforest, kill the maid!"My heart sank when I heard that!Deforest was going to kill her. There was just no way he was going to disobey the alpha. He always carried out his command.I knew the charges against Sarah were not true, and he knew that. The alpha just wanted to quell any uprising that would ensue if the people found out that Kianna, an ordinary maid, had escaped from the clutches of his array of swordsmen. Cracks would begin to appear; the people would then question his ability to lead them as their alpha.If there was one thing he didn't want, it was not to lose his grip on the people. He would sacrifice anyone or anything just to continue to be feared by all and sundry.He needed a scapegoat!And Sarah it was!I needed to stop him, if no one was going to."Stop, wolf!," I growled at Deforest, running towards him. "Give me a minute, please," I whispered to him. Surprisingly, he had not growled back at me. Quickly, I walked up to my father and sai

There was just no way Duncan could have known about the underground house. It was top secret. Someone must have tipped him about the place. He couldn't have found out by himself."What did you say, Duncan?," I asked, pretending not to have heard."Come on, Declan, cut the crap. You heard me the first time. I know you have her. I just wanted to inform you that someone is about to go down because of her. Do what you gotta do," he hung up.He had just made me look silly.The way I looked at her made her scared, really scared."Is that your brother?," she asked, anxiously waiting for an answer.Instead of responding to her, I sat down on the bed, trying to make sense of what Duncan had just said."Someone is about to go down because of her," he had said.He had not told me who that was. Surely, Deforest had found a scapegoat."I guess he knows where we are. I'm doomed. I couldn't have escaped from his clutches for long, after all.""Hey, I gave you my word, and I intend to keep it. Do you

JASON ••••••••••"Jason," I heard the voice again, this time, in a frantic manner. "Jason, it's me," she quickly added.I immediately recognized the voice; It was a familiar one. I turned towards the direction of the caller, cautiously curious."Come," she beckoned to me, demonstrating with her hands. Something was off about her expression; it was like she didn't wanna be noticed."What's happening?," I asked, as soon as I got to her."You shouldn't be here!," she just said, looking around to ensure we were not being followed. I was beginning to get nervous. "It's too risky out here.""Hey, you're getting me confused and nervous," I said, unable to hold still anymore. "What is happening? Why is everywhere looking so quiet and deserted? And where is Kianna and the rest of the pack?," I asked, looking around for a clue or something resembling one."I don't know, just leave! Leave before he finds you. Leave and don't look back, Jason. Kianna will call you when

DECLAN."What are you hiding from me?," he asked me, giving me a suspicious look."Nothing, it's nothing you should be worried about," I said, trying to block him from having access to that blind spot."Then let me see for myself, because I am sure there is someone in there." He tried to force his way past me, but I wouldn't let him, even if I knew I could not hold still for long."Okay, I give up," he said, turning his back on me. Just when I thought he would just walk away, he turned back and hit me so hard, taking me by surprise. I tried to stay on my feet, but the impact was too much, such that I staggered to the ground.Quickly, he pulled Duncan out of the blind spot and first dealt him a blow before even realizing who he was."You!? What are you doing here?." Turning to me, he asked, "How did he get in here?"I looked as surprised as he was. To think that I thought it was he who gave him the code to the underground house. If it wasn't him, who then did? Well, tha

"You just can't say that, uncle," I said, looking a tad edgy. Surely, whatever he had to say to me was very important, so there was no way I was ever going to let it slide.Finally, someone was going to tell me the truth that had stayed hidden!With a sift partly suppressed laugh, he continued, "I expected this reaction; it's exactly how Alexia would have reacted if she were here. But, just as I said, it's nothing, just forget I said it.""Did you encourage my father to execute her? Did you!?""You already have the answer you seek," he said, tending after his cat.Tough guy!I knew it would be a waste of effort trying to get him to talk by merely probing him. I'd have to hit him where it hurts most. He may be one of the strongest wolves the pack has produced in generations, but he has a weakness, just like everyone of us.The maid, Danica!Uncle Alioski killed people without showing any emotion. Sometimes, I even wondered if he had any piece of humanity left of him."Only coldblooded

DEFORESTExtreme fear can neither fight nor flyBut mine fought…And killed!It's the hardest 'kill' order I have ever had to obey.To everyone watching, I was the coldblooded executioner who had driven a dagger into the maid without even breaking a sweat. To them, I had paid no attention to her plea to have her life spared.It looked easier on the outside!"You have proven yourself a true alpha, son," my father said to me, with an air of pride.Of course, I was his puppet, always ready to be a 'yes, sir' wolf to his every bidding. He was training me to be not just as ruthless as him, but to be more."I am a better and more ruthless alpha than the one I succeeded. You cannot be less. If the people don't fear you, you are doomed," he had emphatically said to me, further explaining his reason for asking me to be the one to execute the maid.Tough not to agree with him.I needed time alone, so, I quickly made for the underground house. The only time I ever visited there was when
