SKYLAR'S P*O*V

My body instantly froze under his voice, my head contemplating over words to justify my action.

"You're planning on crossing the territory, aren't you?" 

I shook my head continuously as I mentally found the words to say. "No. I wasn't planning on leaving the territory, I was only trying to see what it's like outside the pack." 

I knew that wasn't a strong lie, but I needed something to save my life. 

He grabbed my neck, raising me up so that I wasn't feeling my feet on the ground. I grabbed his hand around my neck, trying to break free from his hold but his hands were tight.

I choked, struggling with the little strength I've got in me. "Please. I was… never trying… to escape." I managed to say, my heart beating faster than the second hand.

"Do you think I'm a kid you can throw a blatant lie at? I can hear your heartbeat loud and clear, and there's no escaping for your actions."

I couldn't see his face. The little light from the moon only illuminated the trees behind him. But I can tell from his voice that he was angry.

"No one crosses out of my territory and lives. So tell me, what were you up to?" He asked, his husky voice vibrated through my core.

For the first time, I felt enslaved by his scent.

His smell was one I couldn't hold back.

I tried to resist it, but it's in my head now, and I just can't wave it off. 

I felt a strange feeling in my stomach, but somehow I felt it was death calling. How close am I to nature, how ready am I to give up?

I struggled against his strong hold, but he made no sign to let go. Instead, his grip around my neck kept increasing as I felt those eyes boring into mine.

"Pathetic." He spat, his hands loosened around my neck, letting me fall helplessly to the ground.

I coughed heavily as I gasped for air, the feeling of suffocation engrossed me. He squatted before me, and he held my chin, slightly raising my face so our eyes met.

I looked away, trying to avoid his gaze. "What makes you think running away is the only means of survival? Haven't you heard, I've got eyes around."

I still couldn't explain how on earth he knew of my plans, and how he got to know I was here. Can my life ever be better?

Suddenly, he pulled away from me, staring at me awkwardly, like I had automatically turned to a living monster. He stood up, taking a few steps away from me. 

I wondered why he was acting this strange, but does that even matter now? I need to get away from him, and save myself from any unexpected death or something.

"I'm gonna count to three, and I expect you back in the headquarter immediately. Or you're gonna hate what I'm going to do to you." He threatened.

I stood up from the ground, and I could feel my legs running faster than I expected. I didn't look back, and I wasn't hearing his footsteps behind me.

The moment I had hoped I'd be free from those who had made my life miserable, I never knew I'd be running back to them. 

My heart ached as I kept crying while on my way. Is this how much you hate me, moon goddess? What have I done to deserve such kind of life?

What have I done wrong?

I dashed into my room, slamming the door behind me. I rested my back, crawling to the ground. With a broken heart, I wept like the forgotten child I am.

I dragged myself to my mattress, which doesn't in any way look like a mattress. It was torn in some parts, so it was easier for the cold to get to me.

I folded my legs to my chest, shivering in fear. My heart hadn't stopped beating, sleep was foreign to my eyes, and all I could do was stare out of the window with hot tears filled in my eyes.

But then, what happened earlier flashed to my mind. How strange Alpha Denver had acted, the look on his face as he stepped away from me.

I couldn't decipher why he had acted that way, or did I look so scary all of a sudden?

Not only that; the way he smelled. His scent, and for the first time I found myself intimidated by his presence.

How did that happen? Why tonight? 

Silently, I hoped he wouldn't have to ask me about earlier. 

Morning finally came. A new day to start the daily routine again. I was up earlier than usual, and that's because I couldn't get myself to sleep.

There was no need to stay on the bed with my eyes staring at almost every side of my room.

Mrs. Marie was up too. I tried to avoid her from seeing me, but that woman always has a way of noticing everyone.

"Skylar!" For the first time she called me by my name.

I stopped walking, within me, I knew if it isn't her normal nagging attitude, then it definitely means Alpha Denver must have discussed what happened last night to her.

"You're early today, I'm impressed. Never have you gotten up so early as today." She chuckled.

"Just trying to be a good girl, at least for once."

She laughed mischievously. "Oh, I see. Well, now you are here, I need you to clean the hallway to the Alpha King's room."

"Yes, ma'am."

I took a bucket of water with a mop stick, heading towards the hallway Mrs. Marie had asked me to clean. It felt even more frightening working here, because definitely the Alpha will be up any moment from now.

If he eventually sees me, then I'm as good as dead.

My eyes were growing heavy, all I wanted was to shut them close and have that sweet nap I couldn't get the previous night. As I walked, the sores of my feet would burn.

I need to have this hallway cleaned up before Mrs. Marie decides to come check up on me.

As I hurriedly cleaned the floor, Alpha Denver's door opened. I thought of a way to escape him from seeing me, but I found myself standing in the same spot.

He had left his room with Beta Mark, his attention focused as he wore his wrist watch. Just when I thought he wouldn't see me, Alpha Denver's eyes are on me.

"Now here's the little kitten who tried to run away."

  • Slave To The Alpha   159~ A Happy Ending

    DENVER’S POVA year later…“What are you going to decide on?” Skylar asked as she laid in my arms. Twas the night before an official meeting with Jennifer and her lawyer. For days, I had been thinking about what to do and if I would leave the baby with Jennifer.“Do you think she is capable of taking care of a baby?” I asked with a disturbed look. Over the one year that had passed, I had come to grow fond of the baby and I was very concerned about her well-being.“Are you worried about Jennifer’s morals? You shouldn’t judge her with what happened in the past.” Skylar said with a meek tone, as she had also come to like the baby and she had no more problems with Jennifer at all.“I can’t help but be worried, Skylar. But then, it all depends on what she wants.” I replied, telling myself not to think too much about it. That night, I slept peacefully in my mate’s arms, knowing that Jennifer would finally leave us but then I wished she could leave without the baby.__“Welcome, Alpha!” The

  • Slave To The Alpha   158~ His Bite

    DENVER’S POV“What did you say?” I asked with a look of disbelief. At first, I was shocked to hear what the doctor said but then, I thought I was hearing things. Maybe the doctor was mistaken instead.“I said, you have to bite her.” He repeated and this time, I was sure I heard him right. “I know this is absurd but then, this is the only way to save her else she is going to die. I know you wouldn’t want that.” The doctor continued to say but my mind was filled with different thoughts.What if she could really die? That would be a relief but then I would be faulted for not saving her when there was a way. However, biting someone of her kind was a bit risky. Things could go south and she could really die. Not all blood can accept a wolf’s bite and not just any wolf, an Alpha wolf at that.“We have little time left, Alpha.” The doctor reminded me and I sighed. This was a 50% chance thing and I wouldn’t want her lawyer raining lawsuits on me if she eventually dies.“Let’s do it.” I said,

    DENVER’S POVNine months later…My head throbbed as I went through several paperwork. Being the Alpha came with several responsibilities and sometimes I would wish to push them toward my Beta or anyone else available to do the job.It had been nine months since Jennifer came into my home and I was glad that she didn’t cause any trouble with Skylar and me.“Alpha…” A voice called out from behind the door and I raised my brows in wonder at who it was. I had asked not to be disturbed and I was prepared to punish whoever was at the door.“Come in…” I said, ready to growl at the person. As soon as the person walked in, he turned out to be one of the guards and as I was about to chastise him, he spoke quickly.“Alpha! Lady Jennifer is in labor! We need to rush her to the hospital and there is no one available to do that.” The guard said quickly and immediately shot up to my feet in shock. It had been nine months but then I didn’t even know when was her due date. It definitely wasn’t like th

    JENNIFER’S POVIt seemed my night had been going on for longer than I could imagine. My heart was heavy and as I sat upright on my bed, I looked like I had gone into a world war. After the meeting with Denver and Skylar, I had been so restless and I wondered what decision they would come to.I knew that Skylar would definitely not want me to come into her home and I kind of hated that fact. It sounded selfish to want to go into her home but I needed to think about myself before anything else.As I continued to mull over the issue, I heard my phone ring and immediately, I jolted out of my thoughts. Deep down, I hoped it was the call I wanted and as I picked up the phone and saw that it was the lawyer calling, I froze for a moment. My heartbeat sped up as I knew that Denver and Skylar had definitely concluded.What would it be? Would I be damned and neglected? I hope not! With shaky hands, I connected the call, breathing heavily, hoping for a piece of good news.“Hello, good morning, la

  • Slave To The Alpha   155~ Terms & Conditions

    SKYLAR’S POV“And what if I want to let things slide? Are you going to force me to acknowledge her pregnancy?” Denver spoke immediately. He was obviously annoyed by the lawyer’s guts. His anger started to rise and before I knew what was happening, he was already exerting his Alpha’s energy on the fragile lawyer.“I… I…” The lawyer stuttered as a drop of sweat trickled down his face. Jennifer took a step back and hit behind the lawyer, seeing how angry and irritated Denver was. I stood back, torn between stopping Denver or just letting him continue to exert pressure on the lawyer and Jennifer.“I just want us to settle this amicably… you don’t have to harm us.” The lawyer was quick to say as Jennifer nudged him from behind to do something.“Then you should know your place!” Denver said with so much authority! As I looked at him, I knew that his Alpha wolf wouldn’t want anybody to stand up fiercely to him, especially not Jennifer and her lawyer.“That’s enough, Denver.” I mind-linked hi

    SKYLAR’S POVWalking toward the garden hand in hand with Diego, my head was downcast as he played on the sidewalks. His countenance was a stark contrast to mine. My face looked pale and different thoughts went through my mind.Looking at Diego, who was growing up happily with his father, I started to think that I was doing something wrong toward an unborn child who deserved love.“Mummy, are you okay?” Diego suddenly stopped to look at me and I was a bit startled. However, I was quick to put a smile on my face.“Yes, I’m okay. Why do you ask?” I asked with raised brows. He looked really serious and I wondered if he knew what was going on, especially with what happened yesterday with Jennifer. He might have gotten wind of the brawl between me and Jennifer.“Nothing. You have just been moody. I just want you to be alright.” He replied and my smile broadened. I was blessed to have such a son but then I started to wonder if he would be like that without a father figure there to correct h
