Marked by the Alpha King 19 - The Meeting
Alpha Wally was a huge man. He had muscles for days and could pass for a gladiator if they were into that sort of thing. Somehow, his bald head made his large stature even more severe, and he had a commanding presence that could fool you into thinking he was a barbarian.But on the inside, he was mush. Tatum often saw him with his fraternal twins, Winner and Winnie, being a complete moron just to make them laugh. He was an all round fun-loving dad. Everyone could see that his kids meant the world to him.If he wasn’t going hunting in the woods, he was with his kids, playing games with them and cheering them on when they got into trouble.Sometimes, Tatum felt jealous of their bond. Not because he had lacked it as a boy but because he wanted to be the same way, if not more, with his own kids.Yet he had no kids of his own. His mother had told him she believed he would have a girl.“I wanted a girl,” she had said, laughing at the thought. “But I think God knew I couldn’t keep up with on
Marked by the Alpha King 20 - The Realization
“Where have you been?” Tatum demanded, staring at her crossly.Baka wondered what he was mad about this time as she stood just before the door, her hands clasped in front of her. Had the meeting with Alpha Wally gone awry?“I asked a question,” he snapped.She lowered her head. “I was in the slave’s quarters, my lord.”She had met her mother and Bekon all within the same hour and her heart was glad of it. It was no surprise to have run into Bekon. They were bound to cross paths no matter who she served.The Alpha king eyed her for a minute, then let out a slow breath. “Look at me when you talk to me, Baka.”Why did she need to? Why did he always ask that of her? Most werewolf masters would slap her if she dared look them in the eye. But he wanted her to look straight at him.What was he hoping to find?“I said look at me,” the Alpha King growled. “ If I have to repeat myself every time, what use are you to me?”Her chest burned as she lifted her head up slowly and stared straight at hi
Marked by the Alpha King 21 - The Selfish Decision
Bile rose up her throat as Baka covered her mouth in disbelief. What was wrong with her? Having feelings for the Alpha king? Her people’s oppressor? Shame on her!How could she crave his touch? How could she feel the way she did when he was around? He was the enemy, for Pete’s sake! Even breathing the same air as him should be repulsive to her!Yet the feelings he had aroused within her was unmatched. And what he had just whispered to her… the nerve! How could he say such a crazy thing? She was his slave, he was her master. There was too great a power imbalance for him to even entertain such a notion.But she couldn't deny the pleasure that coursed through her. Bekon had said roughly the same thing to her and she had never felt as fired up as she did at this moment.It was abominable. It was unacceptable. It was unforgivable. Her dad and brother would be turning in their graves. She was no different from Odessa—a disgrace to all of humankind.She couldn't be around him anymore. But th
Marked by the Alpha King 22 - The Judgement
“What do you mean there’s been an attack?” Tatum asked his brother as they stood together on the balcony.It was early noon and Tatum had been preparing to go to the courtyard for his usual run when Takoda had pulled him aside into the balcony with urgency.“Exactly what I said,” Takoda grumbled, folding his arms and lowering his voice an octave lower. “Yundum City is in ruins. I heard their Alpha King suffered serious injuries and might not make it.”Tatum furrowed his brows in disbelief. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Yundum City had one of the largest territory and werewolf communities with at least twelve werewolf packs. Their Alpha King, Lee, a formidable and powerful werewolf had been one of the generals who had led them to victory during the Great War. No one in their right mind would ever wage war against him or his people. He was a feared man. Even Tatum’s late father did not hold a candle to him. Yundum City had been indestructible. Or so he thought.“Who was behi
Marked by the Alpha King 23. The Broken Bond
The market was not as busy at noon time as it was in the morning. There were few people and even fewer stalls were open. Baka hoped David’s stall was one of them. As she traipsed further into the market, she decided to take a shortcut. She noted the stalls as she passed them— Jerry, the potato seller, Aunty Haddy who sold avocado and banana, Michael, the pepper and garlic seller. David’s shop was right after Aunty Inola’s who sold cassava flakes and sugar. In all the opened stalls she passed, she noticed a considerable minimal amount of products. The decrease in food supply was beginning to have a serious dent. She briefly wondered how soon they would seek help from the other werewolf territories.As she took a left turn, an arm grabbed her with careful force and pulled her into a small corner. She almost yelped.“It’s me. It’s me. Don’t scream,” Bekon announced as he slowly removed his hands from her person. “I’m so glad I caught you.”Baka’s nostrils flared as she glared at him.
Marked by the Alpha King 24. The Menace
The field of crops was a mess. Tatum could hardly believe what he was seeing. Alpha Wally had not been exaggerating. The plants had lost their vibrant green color. It was now a sickly dull brown with faded patches of discoloration. Most plants had fallen lifeless to the earth. Others were barely standing upright.At least a third of the crops had gone bad, only a measly amount looked edible and worth harvesting.He stood rigid as he stared at the dying plants left in utter disarray.“This is a disaster,” he commented, shaking his head this way and that.“Quite right, my lord.” Alpha Wally was carrying his daughter, Winnie, while his son stood by his leg, hugging it.They were toddlers, about two or three years old. Winnie was staring straight at Tatum with open curiosity. She had her father’s brunette hair and straight nose. Winner looked more like their mother with his dark curls and oval face.They were adorable, but from many observations, Tatum knew they could be quite wild.Shift
Marked by the Alpha King 25. The Infinity Symbol
News of the attack on Yundum City had spread like wildfire in Khandom City and just as Baka had predicted, their werewolf oppressors tightened their leash.Curfew had been moved from 8pm to 6pm in the evening. Anyone seen outside after 6pm was locked up in the cells located under the city for questioning. If the guards believed them to have ill intent—which was almost always—they were killed. They were also randomly searched when running any errands, and no one was allowed into Kotu without Alpha Takoda’s express permission.This meant that Baka sometimes had to go days without seeing her mother or the girls. She had tried to reach out to Bekon but he had been giving her the cold shoulder since their argument the last time they met.The werewolves' hatred towards them had skyrocketed beyond comprehension. Baka heard more reports that some slaves owned by Alphas suspected of being part of the human rebel group were killed without question.Each day Baka heard news about her people’s se
Marked by the Alpha King 26. The Search
“Mother Tina, be reasonable,” Tatum tried once again. He was tired and had a lot on his mind. The day had been a long one and he just needed rest to prepare for the journey ahead. The last thing he needed was to spend the rest of the day conducting a search, especially over something so minute.He remembered the broach she spoke about. It was emerald with silver stones decorating its interior. Tia knew of her Mother’s love for jewellery and was almost always gifting them to her.Mother Tina had worn this particular broach during Tia’s funeral.“You have other gifts from Tia,” he added after she shook her head firmly.“It's not the same. She gifted that broach to me the day before she died. It's her last gift to me. It's priceless. Do you understand, Tatum? Priceless.” He sighed. “Fine. When did you last see it?”Mother Tina furrowed her brow in thought. “Yesterday. It was on top of my dresser.”“Maybe it fell under. Did you check?”The glare Mother Tina gave him could've turned him i
