I was a modern day slave and he was my master. I now understood our dynamics pretty well. He ordered me to fetch all my belongings from that 'tin house'. That was exactly the word he used for my home. He did not have even an once of respect for me nor did I have any for him. " You will be staying here. Bellow, help her to get this room cleaned. "He threw my little bundle that I had brought back from my home. A little bundle of my little belongings. He threw it like it was a bag full of litter. I was given the room beside Bellow's at his lavish mansion. Apparently he lived there with his closest men. The towering boys who were called Beck and Josh. Bellow was another inhabitant. I was the only female resident at the moment.I knew I would have to wake up every morning with a heavy heart, knowing that another day of servitude awaited me. Ryan, my inhuman Boss, would make me do all sorts of dirty chores at his house, treating me like a bonded labour. I could feel his eyes on me
As the sun began to set, I snuck out of my father's castle, tent, yeah, but that was his castle equivalent.I made my way to the clearing where I had agreed to meet Alpha Ryan. My heart raced with anticipation and nervousness. The thought of being caught made my fur stand on end, but the idea of seeing him again filled me with excitement.I had wondered outside my pack's perimeter many a nights but never to meet a boy. This was my first time. I saw him standing at the edge of the clearing, his tall and muscular frame illuminated by the soft glow of the moon. His dark hair was tousled by the wind, and his piercing blue eyes were fixed on me as I approached him. I could feel his gaze tracing every inch of my body, making my skin tingle.We had started off on a wrong foot but I had to admit, he was not bad at all. We stood in silence for a moment, taking each other in. It was hard to believe that only a few days ago we had been sworn enemies, him the Alpha of the infamous pack and me th
I knew Beck was upset. He had his rights for being so. He was first hand witness to the blood bath and also to the aftermath that Sherizad had brought onto our pack. Sherry's presence in our house was a constant reminder of that. The striking resemblance she shared with my girl was beyond the word 'unimaginable'. When I saw her or looked at her face, my mind skipped all the years in between and settled straight for the time of our first meeting. She was fearless and wild. The most feminine male , if that was even a proper way of describing her. I still remembered how often she used to get in trouble with her father for her rogue behaviour. My lips effortlessly broke into a smile every time I remembered those times, even when I was in pain. The ringing of my phone drew my attention back on my office desk. The pen slipped from my hand and it rolled till it landed straight infront of Rose's s*xy bare legs. I had met her a few times before, she was a stripper at one of the club
I woke up to a text from Ryan, the notorious son of the Mafia boss of our city. "Hey Rose, I have a proposition for you. Are you interested?" I was intrigued, to say the least. Ryan and I had crossed paths a few times at the club where I worked as a stripper. He was always charming and polite, even though his reputation preceded him. I had heard rumours of his bad temperament. But he never came across as rogue or arrogant with me. He had even recruited me in his gang. And then I remembered that his 'proposition' was definitely about the little help that I asked from him earlier. I replied to his message, "Sure, what's your proposition?What do you have in mind?" I asked, cautiously."I want to go on a fake date with you," Ryan said. "We'll make it look like we're a couple, and we'll go to all the places your ex-boyfriend likes to hang out. We'll make sure he sees us together and make him jealous. Hopefully, that will scare him off."I was taken aback. I had broken up with my ex-boyf
I couldn't believe Ryan brought a stripper to his house. I mean, what did he expect? That I'll get jealous? Well, he was right. I was jealous. But why? It's not like we were together or anything.Then perhaps it was not jealousy at all. What I was feeling was anger towards him and his behavior."Sherry, can you bring us some drinks?" Ryan asked, interrupting my thoughts.I tried to hide my emotions and put on a fake smile. "Sure thing."As I walked to the kitchen, I could hear Ryan and Rose laughing and chatting on the couch. At first, I tried not to think anything of it, assuming they were just having a friendly conversation.But as I continued to listen, I realised that their conversation had taken a flirty turn. They were teasing each other and making suggestive comments, and it made me feel uncomfortable. I couldn't help but wonder if they were crossing a line.I debated whether to interrupt them or just let it go, but eventually, I decided to speak up. I walked into the living ro
Everybody was bustling around our tribe, making sure everything was perfect for the All Alpha meet. My father had put me in charge of the preparations, and I was determined to make sure everything went smoothly, even though I did not like the Alphas coming into my tribe. Specifically Tristan as the present president. I knew how each one of them were. And I knew that they were all troubles waiting to brew. My dear Midnight was by my side, helping me with the arrangements. We understood the importance of hosting a successful All Alpha meet as royalties. And with Ryan attending the event this time, I wanted to make sure everything was perfect.I couldn't help but feel nervous at the thought of seeing Ryan again. We had met only yesterday yet I couldn't get him out of my mind I was day dreaming since then already hyping over our next meeting. But as the princess of my tribe, I had to maintain my composure and act dignified around him.As the day commenced my nerves began to escalate. I
As I sat in the courtroom, surrounded by all the other Alphas and my father, I couldn't help but steal glances at Ryan. He looked confident.And just beside him, was sitting Tristen.An eye candy and an eye sore in one frame. We were there to discuss the Grey wolf situation, but my mind kept wandering back to him, me and our first encounter. We were actually there to analyse and resolve the events that took place that night. "So, what do you propose we do about the Grey wolves?" my father asked, bringing me back to reality."I think we should send a delegation to their pack and try to ask for an explaination," Alpha Tristen replied confidently.I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his arrogance. He was always so sure of himself, but I knew he wasn't the right one for me. I turned my attention back to Alpha Ryan, hoping to catch his eye again."I agree with Alpha Tristen," my father said, nodding. "We need to take a diplomatic approach to this.""Are we talking about the rogue Grey w
I couldn't believe I was lying next to Bellow, and yet all I could think about was Ryan and Rose. What were they doing in there? Were they laughing? Talking about things they have in common? Sharing intimate moments? The thought of it was driving me insane.Which in itself was insane. Why could I not sleep after my bone breaking labour all day? I was supposed to have fainted out of exhaustion, yet I was lying in my bed, with eyes as wide as the owl outside, hooting it's heart away. I tried to shut my mind off, to focus on Bellow's soft breathing, to imagine us doing something fun together tomorrow. Imaginary scenarios to help me doze off. But my thoughts kept coming back to Ryan. He never treated me like a human, yet I was only thinking of him. "Am I not interesting enough? Not pretty enough? Not funny enough?"Absurd trails if thoughts were playing soccer in my mind. And then there was the sadness. The sadness of feeling left out, of feeling like I was no longer a part of anythi
