The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 007: Protection without Warmth
Protection Without WarmthTalia’s POV“What is going on here?” Valik asked again.Nobody answered immediately.I rose slowly from where I had been crouching, my knees lifting off the cold stone floor. I straightened up and stood still and met no one’s eyes.The elderly maid smoothed her apron and turned toward Valik with the ease of someone who had been managing difficult moments for a long time.“Nothing is wrong, Alpha,” she said, her voice completely polite. “The human came to us saying she was hungry. We were just having a little chat with her.”Valik’s eyes moved from her face to mine. I looked away.“And the food on the floor?” he asked.There was a brief pause. The elderly maid glanced sideways at the woman who had kicked the trough, then looked back at Valik.“It slipped from her hand, Alpha. It was an accident.”I stared at the wall in front of me.An accident? I almost laughed. Not because it was funny, but because I had genuinely not known people could lie that smoothly and
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 006: A Meal Meant for Animals
A Meal Meant for AnimalsTalia’s POV My back hit the wall so hard I felt the shock travel through my bones. For a second, I thought I might slide down to the floor, but I forced myself to stay upright. I stood there, pressing myself against the cold stone like distance alone could undo what I had just seen. My chest was heaving and I couldn’t slow it down. The basket sat on the bed where I had left it open, and I couldn’t keep looking at it. Someone had done this on purpose. Someone had found a dead rat, placed it carefully inside a basket, covered it with a cloth, written a note in Valik’s name, and left it at my door. The person wanted me to open it alone in the dark and feel exactly what I was feeling right now. And if someone here could do that on my first night… What else was being planned for the rest of the time I would be here? I pressed the back of my hand against my mouth and breathed through my nose until the shaking in my chest slowed. Nobody was coming to help me.
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 005: Welcome Gift
Welcome GiftTalia’s POVThe slap was still burning on my cheek when I raised my face.I refused to look down. My jaw ached from where Valik had grabbed me on the road, my body was cold from standing in the basin, and every single thing that had happened since those doors burst open at my wedding was pressing down on me like a heavy stone. But I would not look down.Monica stood close enough that I could see the contempt in her eyes without needing a fortune teller.“A dirty… disgusting slave,” she said, letting each word land slowly, “bathing like she is a noble born.” She looked around at the other women with a short, humorless laugh. “In my own fortress.”One of the she-wolves beside her crossed her arms. “That is precisely why we are here. Someone has to teach her what she actually is and keep her in her place.”I turned my gaze to Monica. My voice came out steadier than I expected. “Who are you? And what gives you the right to put your hand on my face?”The woman to Monica’s left
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 004: The Alpha’s World
The Alpha’s WorldTalia’s POVWe arrived at the fortress few hours later.It rose out of the landscape like something that had always been there… stone walls dark with age, iron gates tall enough to swallow the sky, and along the upper edges, shapes I didn’t let myself look at too long. Bones and remnants of old wars pressed into the building like decoration. A reminder, I supposed, of what happened to those who stood against them.The gates opened as we approached. There was no signal, it just opened.Inside, it was worse.The courtyard was wide and crowded, and the moment I passed through those gates, I felt every pair of eyes find me. Werewolves soldiers, servants, nobles in fine cloth and all of them stopped what they were doing and stared. Not with curiosity but with hostility. I was the only human in a sea of predators, walking beside the Alpha, and every single one of them knew it.I kept my chin high and my eyes straight and told myself not to let them see my hands shaking.Th
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 003: The Man I Never Knew
The Man I Never KnewTalia’s POVThe silence that followed was the loudest thing I had ever heard.I turned slowly.The man standing beside me was not the man I had just married.It wasn’t something I could point to exactly. His face and, his whole body was the same. But something behind his eyes had shifted, the way a light shifts when someone adjusts it from another room. The warmth was gone. In its place was something settled and cold. His shoulders had squared without him trying. His chin had lifted. He stood like a man who had never once in his life needed anyone to stand beside him.I asked myself if I had spent months sleeping beside a stranger?“Valik.” My voice came out smaller than I wanted it to. “What is this? Why are they bowing to you? Why are they calling you Alpha?”He looked at me. Not unkindly, which somehow made it worse.“I lost my memories,” he said. “When rival Alphas attacked me, something in my mind broke. I didn’t know who I was when I wandered into this terri
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 002: My Worst Nightmare
My Worst Nightmare Talia’s POV “AWOOO!!!” Another long howl cut through the night. The sound kept on increasing. Nobody in the hall moved. The hall that had been full of laughter and clapping just seconds ago went completely still, like someone had drained the life out of it all at once. I felt the coldness of the room like a cold air passing under a door… slow, quiet, and impossible to stop. I knew that sound. Every human in the room knew how horrible it is. It didn’t matter how many years had gone by. It didn’t matter how many nights we spent trying to forget it. The moment it reached our ears, our bodies remembered before our mind could catch up. A child near the back began to cry, muffled against her mother’s side. I could hear the woman trying to shush her, but her own hands were shaking. “Not again,” The elderly woman in the front row pressed her palms together, her voice barely holding. “Lord… not tonight. Haven’t they taken enough from us already? Can’t they just leave
