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
SKYLAR'S P*O*VEvery girl would want a birthday where there's no one to order them what and what not to do. A stress-free day, with lots of goodies and gifts from both families and friends. But mine was a stark contrast.I would work my ass off day and night, tirelessly cleaning the Alpha's room, and making sure his breakfast, lunch and dinner were ready before he even asked for it.Yet, none of my actions were satisfying to anyone.Today, I'll be turning eighteen, and it's just like every other day. Work your butt, get the Alpha's room cleaned up, fetch water, make sure his meals are all set.Urgh…!I decided to take a rest from scrubbing the floor while the other maids continued. I wish I could take a minute nap, but Mrs Marie over there will definitely not let me.She never stops nagging, and it's becoming a dirty habit of hers. Her mind and attention are always drawn to me because I'm the Alpha's personal maid, she believes I am meant to do the bigger work than anyone else."Are y
SKYLAR'S P*O*VMy heart raced a million beats per minute as I fixed my gaze on Alpha Denver, fully aware that there was no escape from this moment. I had broken the fundamental rules of avoiding beating.I could feel everyone's gaze fixed on me, and the air was filled with murmuring voices as everyone, including myself, waited for what Alpha Denver's action would be."I'm so sorry, Alpha. Please forgive my–"A hefty slap landed on my face before I finished speaking, resounding all through the hall as tears cascaded down my cheeks."You worthless little thing!" He cursed.I could hear the gasps of the guests, none of them dared to do a thing. "Take her to where she belongs." He commanded and the guards quickly grabbed my both hands, seizing me from struggling."No. No. Please, don't take me to the cell. Please, I beg you alpha."He wasn't looking my way, so he was definitely not paying attention to my plea.Being locked in the Alpha's cell was a harrowing phase of life, more like a liv
SKYLAR'S P*O*VI glared around the room as I slowly opened my eyes, taking in a glimpse of my environment. I winced as I tried to make myself sit, my body was bruised and every single place hurts."Don't move, you still haven't healed." Roselle's caring voice sounded from beside me. "Hey, how do you feel?"I dragged my gaze over to her as she approached me with a soft smile and a cup of water in her hand. "How did I make it alive?" I asked, knowing it was only by the moon goddesses intervention one could survive those strokes."I don't know how, but you survived it." She replied. "Here, have a drink."She placed the cup on my lips while I slowly gulped down the water. I sighed heavily, so she went to drop it on the table. "Mrs. Marie." It was the first name that came to my mind."Don't worry about her, she doesn't know we are here."But not for long, the door banged open. In this mansion, there is nothing like privacy. No matter whatever you do, wherever you hide, there are eyes wat
SKYLAR'S P*O*VMy 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
DENVER'S P*O*VI opened the windows so that the breeze could infiltrate my room. There was this unique smell that lingered through my nostrils as I sniffed in the air.It was very faint like whoever owned it had been here a while ago. So faint but my wolf took notice of it.It stirred something inside me. It had hints of rosemary smell, and it was invigorating, causing my wolf to purr.Could this be my mate?I followed it, letting it lead me to whoever the scent belonged to. But as I kept searching, I realized it was directing me to the woodside.At first, I felt suspicious about the feeling. I assumed the scent must belong to an intruder, so I let my curiosity take hold of me.When I saw her, I felt lost, confused and these were not the kind of feelings that I easily welcomed.I am the Alpha for crying out loud. The most respected and feared Lycan king, yet, I had grown weak for a female. And it's not just any ordinary female, it's my slave!I felt intimidated. So humiliated that th
Skylar's P.O.VI felt my heart beat heavily against my chest as he said those words to me. They felt threatening, and for a thousand reasons I want to believe this man isn't just an alpha.There was more to him that I don't know yet, even as his personal maid, I knew I still have a long way to go before I can get to know what kind of man he is.But then...his presence was something I couldn't comprehend.I thought hard to figure out why I was feeling this way towards his closeness. And that isn't something about how, I had felt it the previous night while at the pack's border.It weakened me, and I guess he felt that too. The way he pulled away from me was an evidence that he sensed it, but he was smart enough to cover up. His scent filled my nostrils that I couldn't get over with the smell. It filled my mind, took over my thoughts, leaving me helplessly enslaved to it.Now, even as his presence is just next to me, I seem not to have understood a part of what he had said. I was still
SKYLAR P.O.VI met Alpha Denver's room empty, I did all I could do before leaving. After what seemed like an hour and a few minutes, I returned to his bedroom to drop off his dried clothes, yet, there was no one in there.I met Roselle as she was spreading clothes outside. "Have you seen the alpha king today?" I asked.She shook her head. "No. Is there a problem?""Uhm...no. Not at all." I said, my eyes moving around like I was searching for someone."Skylar?" She arched her brow at me. "Is there something I need to know?"I forced myself to smile. "Nope, nothing. Just curious why he isn't in his room yet."She laughed at me. "Oh please, don't tell me you've suddenly grown worried for him already.""Me?" I point at myself. "No, I don't. I mean, why would I? It's unlike him, that's why I asked, nothing else."She hung her hands on her waist. "Okay, if you say so. But you know, he is the Alpha king, he has every right to leave and go wherever he wants."I nodded my head. "Yeah, you're r
