The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 013: What the Mountain Knows
What the Mountain KnowsTalia’s POVThe physician came in the morning.He was an older man, quiet and careful, he looked like the kind of person who kept his thoughts behind his eyes. The maid who accompanied him stood near the door with her arms folded and a frown. She watched every movement the physician made and every movement I made, steady and without blinking.He unwrapped my hand and looked at it without reacting, which told me it looked as bad as it felt. He cleaned it with something that made me press my lips together very hard, then began to apply a herb compress, his fingers working efficiently.My ribs ached where I had hit the table edge. My shoulder had stiffened overnight from the way I had fallen. There were places on my body that the physician hadn’t looked at and couldn’t see, and I was thinking about how to change that while the maid’s eyes stayed fixed on me from across the room.I said nothing about the rest of it.Instead, while the physician was occupied with my
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 012: The Weight of Being Human
The Weight of Being HumanTalia’s POV“Sit down, where are you rushing to?”Monica’s voice was calm, her hand still locked around my wrist under the table.Valeria glanced over from her end and made a sound low in her throat. “Monica, let the peasant go if she wants to leave.” She dabbed her mouth with her cloth. “She was never fit to sit at this table in the first place.”Monica smiled and released my wrist. She raised her hand toward the doorway instead and clicked her fingers at the maids waiting near the wall.“Bring more food,” she said pleasantly. “And bring the others in.”More maids filed in from the corridor, four of them, looking between Monica and me with expressions that already knew something I didn’t. Valeria settled back in her chair with her wine, watching me like she had decided to play me out.“Sit at the far end,” Monica told the maids, gesturing toward the lower seats. She looked at me. “You’ll serve them.”I stared at her.“Now.” She tilted her head toward the gua
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 011: The Table They Built Against Me
The Table They Built Against MeTalia’s POVI was pressing a damp cloth against my hand when I heard a knock on the door.My skin had settled into a deep, throbbing ache. I had torn a strip from the cloth on the bed and soaked it in the cool water from the wash basin, and that was the best I could do.I heard the knock again.I went and opened the door. The maid standing in the doorway was one of the two who had dragged me to Monica’s chamber. She looked at my face with disinterest.“The Alpha has sent for you,” she said. “You are expected to have dinner with the royal family.”I stared at her and chuckled.“Is this another one of your plans?” I asked. “Are you taking me somewhere to finish what your mistress started?”She didn’t even blink. “I don’t have any plans, I’m just here to deliver the Alpha’s message.” She looked at the cloth wrapped around my hand without any particular reaction. “Clean yourself up and behave yourself at the table. Don’t say anything you’ll regret.”She mea
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 010: What happens Behind Closed Doors
What Happens Behind Closed DoorsTalia’s POVI hadn’t left the room since morning after the incident that occurred yesterday.I looked out of the window to see the courtyard below, the guards were moving in line, servants crossing between buildings with their heads down. Everything looked so peaceful and simple, but I had already learned that the danger in this fortress didn’t announce itself. It came in through unlocked doors and smiled while it hurts.I went back and sat on the edge of the bed and stared at my hands and thought about my people. I thought about the maids who had pinned me down in the courtyard yesterday, how long it took before anyone came, how the guard that finally dispersed them hadn’t even looked at me after.I was thinking this over in my mind when the door burst open.I was on my feet instinctively. Two maids were already inside, walking fast, and before I could step back they had both my arms.“Let go of me!” I twisted hard to the left, trying to
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 009: The Looming Storm
The Looming Storm Valik’s POV“Everyone calm down, now!”My voice cut through the panic. The crowd near the riverbank stopped shouting immediately, the way they always did when I gave orders.I turned to Cassian. “Get them out of here. I don’t want anyone near this bank until I say otherwise.”Cassian moved without a word, organizing the guards into a line, pushing the servants and onlookers back toward the fortress path. The screaming dropped to frightened murmuring, then to near silence.Several guards had already broken off down the forest in the direction the arrow had come from. I watched and waited, my jaw tight. My heart was still going faster than I would have liked but I kept my posture exactly the same as it always was, loose and unhurried. An Alpha who flinches in front of his pack is no longer an Alpha but a coward.The guards returned within minutes, one of them shaking his head before he even opened his mouth to speak.“We didn’t find anything, Alpha. No footprints or
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 008: The River that Gives Back the Dead
The River That Gives Back the DeadValik’s POV“What’s the problem?”I asked him the moment the door closed behind us, keeping my voice low. I had read Cassian’s face the second he walked in. He had been my Beta long enough that I knew every version of his expression, and the one he had worn stepping into that room was not one he wore often.Cassian glanced back at the closed door briefly, then turned to me.“Five bodies were found near the river,” he said, his voice barely above a murmur.I looked at him in shock.“They’re already in the medical room,” he continued. “Dr. Brett is working on them now.”I didn’t say anything. I turned and walked towards the medical room.Cassian fell into step beside me as we moved through the lower corridor and down the stone staircase that led to the medical room. The fortress at this hour was quiet, most of the movement confined to the upper floors, and our footsteps were the loudest thing in the passage.How can five bodies be found in my pack’s ri
