Blaire's Pov

Walking away from the dungeon with all its filth and stench should have made me feel relieved but what I was feeling would probably be fittingly described as the direct opposite. Leaving left me feeling more awful than I had been before going. Seeing the unhealthy conditions that Indrik had to put up with made me feel sick to my stomach.

Coming out from the underground cell, I was glad to find that my luck had held although I don't think I would have been scared if I had come out to find a circle of wolves. If they will, they could throw me in the dungeon as well. At least then, I would be able to be close to Indrik. Somewhere in the back of my mind though, a voice that wasn't clouded by my anger told me I would be more useful free than imprisoned. I shut the door silently and snuck out of the palace. For a moment, my eyes caught on the images from earlier and I blinked as the memories rushed in, fresh as when I first saw them. I blinked again as the images seemed to be glowing. By the time I blinked the third time, the wall was as normal as a white-painted wall should be. I shook my head as I hurried on.

Breaking out into the open and seeing the brilliant half-moon standing proud in the sky did nothing to help my mood neither did the wind which whistled through the trees as it doused me in a comforting cold which was a welcoming distraction from the stuffy air in the dungeon. I quietly shut the door behind me and started to make for my home. I hadn't taken more than a few steps when I ran into a problem. Well, I would have if I had been running but I very luckily had been walking or sneaking if you prefer that which allowed me enough time to spot the guard that was heading my way and duck out of sight. I held my breath as his whistling and heavy steps drew closer and practically froze when he walked past my hiding place. I silently prayed, my bravery from before dissolved in thin air and my eyes shut tightly as I willed that he not sniff me out. Luckily, he walked right past. It wasn't until I could not hear him anymore that I allowed myself to relax.

With him finally gone, I half ran, half sneaked and half walked to my home, my heart fixed on the safety of my room. Getting to my room though, I found that it wasn't exactly the safe haven my imagination had made it appear to be because right there, his huge body casting a dark shadow on my door was Jamil. He turned toward me and even though it was too dark to see his eyes, I could have sworn that he was boring through me with accusatory eyes.

I squared my shoulders as I moved toward him but my walk of glory almost nearly became a fall of shame as I stumbled and a iron bowl clattered noisily to the floor. I felt it must have been enough to wake the entire palace and I waited there, frozen in place. I could already see my head hanging on a stake. If not for sneaking into the dungeon, then for subjecting all the inhabitants of the palace to a rude awakening. Now, if you have never dropped an iron bowl in a very silent place then you probably wouldn't know that the combination is something that is fit to be a torture in hell. Infact, I have a feeling that it was created by Lucifer himself.

"Blaire! Are you going to remain standing there all day?" I took that as a signal that the palace was not coming for me and by extension, I was not going to die. I wasn't going to push my luck though as I quickly picked up the bowl and made for my room, meaning to sneak past Jamil but he obviously wasn't going to allow that as he clamped a hand on my shoulder and turned me around so I was looking at him or at the dark frame that the light afforded me to see.

I raised my jaw and made my eyes as cold as I could, forgetting that he could not see them. He could hear my voice though which was a good thing as my voice came out harsh and brave, nothing like the mushiness that fear had turned my insides into. "Let me go, will you?" I snapped.

I could hear him suck in his teeth in annoyance as he released my shoulder and let his arms drop to his sides. "Where have you been?" He asked in a tone that said he knew exactly where I had gone.

"I don't see how that should be any concern of yours." I replied as I shifted on my feet, my arms still trembling from all the stress they had been subjected to.

"Blaire!" Jamil groaned as he ran his arms through his hair. "Tell me you didn't do anything stupid."

I almost lashed out in annoyance but I bit my tongue. "I don't think I did anything as stupid as waiting before my door in the middle of the night. Don't tell me you have suddenly become a stalker overnight."

"Come on, Blaire! You really should know better than putting yourself at risk like that. You are going to get into trouble." Of course, I could not fool him. He had known me all my life.

"Excuse me! I need to get some sleep." I reached for my doorknob when he sighed.

"Just be careful, okay? And you really gotta tell me how he is doing once it is morning. For now, you should rest. You look like a nightmare." I could hear a smile in his voice as my heart warmed.

"In the morning." I grinned as I slipped into my room.

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    Giving Up!

    Luna"What have you done? How could you let this happen? The greatest evil has been born! Pain, death, destruction like never before has just been unleashed because of you. The world will never be the same. You shall atone for your sins. Begone! And I shall never see your face again nor you, mine until you have made everything right." I shuddered at the memory. My memories from the...that time were becoming fuzzier the longer time passed but somehow, that memory never faded. I could not remember the face of the person who had spoken. Not even where the person had spoken but I could never forget the words nor the panic, pain and sorrow that had filled me and even now still pulsed in every single vein in my body. Looking down at Indrik as he stabbed at his food, I wondered if all that was happening was indeed my fault. Maybe I really deserved to be here. Even worse, I wondered if I did not deserve to be here, being the recipient of his gratitude like I was some saviour when I was infa

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    Told A Slave

    Indrik"You would never be more than a bottom feeder." The words would not stop ringing in my ears, burning into my brain with searing heat. I clasped my hands over my ears and screamed, tears gushing down my face. A group of people walked past me staring at me like I was crazy but I couldn't care any less. What was I thinking? I would never be more than a disappointment, an Alpha's son who was born without a wolf. To think that I had thought that getting a master and having her unlock my wolf would change my fate. I laughed drily. Just how much more stupid could I be? I would never be more than a failure however hard I tried. Another group of people walked past me and though my senses were too clouded for me to see their expressions, I knew instinctively that they were sniggering at the miserable me. I had left the palace behind and was now wandering through the meandering streets of the pack, hardly aware of where I was going. Every so often, I ran into someone who hissed at me to

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    A Bottom Feeder

    IndrikBeta Green fixed me with a cold stare that caused my smiles to wilt as I was consumed with a premonition that he was about to deliver a very bad news. "What did you just say?" He asked the question like I had just suggested that we pull down the palace and build a cattle shed in its place. I wasn't going to be so easily discouraged though. It had taken me so much time, effort and sacrifices to get here. I wasn't about to be forced to give up by a tone, however cold it might sound. "I said...""I know what you said!" He snapped in irritation. "I was hoping you wouldn't repeat it so I wouldn't have had to tell you this but it is obvious that you are still so young and naive. Perhaps, I ought to enlighten you."My heart sank to the bottom of my stomach as every muscle in my body strained to run, to avoid the verdict he was about to pass. But at the end, I had to stop and listen to what he had to say even if everything within me warned me that I would not like it. He smiled warm

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    Hope

    IndrikMessage or not, I decided that my thoughts were going to drive me crazy if I didn't snap out of them so I did just that. I pushed away from the window and got out of bed. Looking around the slowly lightening room, I was rather disappointed to find that Luna was not in the room. I had been hoping to be able to have a word or two with her. I decided I couldn't wait and made my way to her room only to get the same result. The unmade state of her bed hinted that she had left the room in a hurry, (what else was new?) which meant I couldn't expect to see her for a while.I paced around for a while, the memories still haunting me until I finally got the ingenious idea to go to an old friend of mine. Now, when I mention friend, you might think I am referring to a childhood friend that I had forgotten about but no, I can count the number of friends I have on a single hand. By friend, I meant the library, one of the many places I used to visit in a bid to both lose and discover myself in

  • Tale Of A Cursed Alpha    What Will You Do?

    IndrikDo powers cause nightmares? I highly doubt that or Blaire would have spent every other day screaming from her sleep. Or perhaps, they were just signs of my body getting used to its new heightened senses. Again, I doubted that. Those dreams had looked and felt very real. Like something that had happened, or worse, something that was about to happen. I placed an arm under my jaw as I tried to recall my dream. The mere thought of relieving that nightmare scared the marrows out of me but I decided that I had to face it to know what the problem really was. In my dream, I had seemed to be watching the pack from the hill that was just behind the royal training grounds. Once upon a time, that had been my favorite spot for hanging out. In my dream, or was it a nightmare? The scenery had rolled out before me in the same way it had the last time I had been there. There had been the palace to the one side closed off with high enough walls as to prevent me from seeing past them. Then ther

    VeronicaPain did not seem like the right term for what I was feeling right now. Every single bone in my upper body seemed to have been pummelled to powder leaving me paralyzed. Yet, hearing Indrik's voice energized me as I tried my best to open my eyes. My body protested against the effort as my head started to pound. I shut my eyes again before I could focus on the person standing above me. Everywhere seemed to have gone pitch dark. I could have sworn that there was still some light when that bitch had shoved me to my back. "Oh, Indrik! Look at what she has done to me. You have to make her pay." I whimpered as I tried to open my eyes again without success. My eyes seemed to have filled up with my own blood which was not a very fun experience. "The nerve of this bitch. Let me go. I am not done with her." That was Blaire's voice. I wondered if Indrik was the one holding her back. No, that was wrong. He should be helping me, not her. For the umpteenth time, I tried to open my eyes ag
