The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 039: The Beast he Needed to Be
The Beast He Needed to BeValik’s POVThe neighboring pack’s meeting had taken too long. I had spent the entire ride back to the pack, restless. I felt so distant from Talia that it bothered me so much. I had tried to hide it but I had done a poor enough job of concealing it that even the pack elders we had met with had begun shortening their points toward the end.Aurora had been quiet beside me on the return journey, which for Aurora meant something was bothering her. She always goes quiet when she has a lot on her mind and is trying to figure it out. I had seen her look back in the direction of our pack twice in the last hour of riding.We came through the gates and she was off her horse before it had fully stopped.“I need to check on Talia,” she said, already moving ahead. “She wasn’t herself when I left. I should have stayed.”I watched her go and told myself it was fine and went to my study.I sat at my desk and looked at the reports that had accumulated in my absence and read
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 038: What Thirty Lashes Costs
What Thirty Lashes CostsTalia’s POVThey dragged me to the center of the room and I didn’t fight them.Not because I had accepted it, but because my body had spent the last several days running on less than it needed. My legs went where they pulled them and my arms went where they placed them and I focused on staying upright for as long as possible.The stool was low and wide, the kind built for exactly this purpose. They pushed me down onto it, and the rope that came around my wrists was rough and pulled tight enough that I felt it immediately against my skin.I was shaking. I noticed it because my body has gone past the point that I could control it. Cold and hunger and whatever had happened between passing out in my room and waking up in that cell had all contributed to a body that was operating at the very edge of what it could manage.They stripped the back of my dress.I pressed my face against the top of the stool and closed my eyes and thought about the village. About the way
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 137: Letters that were Never Written
Letters That Were Never WrittenTalia’s POVI didn’t go to the execution.I knew when it happened because the sound reached me through the closed window, rising from the courtyard below. It was a collective sound that the crowd made when the young man’s head dropped to the ground. A peak of noise and then the gradual descending back to their ordinary life.I lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling and felt the sickness of it move through me.Irrespective of what he had done, whatever had led him to that riverbank with that bottle, he was someone’s son. His mother had known him since he was small and had fed him at their table and had called him by his name, no one deserves to be treated this way… And now, he was gone.I pulled my knees up and stayed very still and let the sounds of the pack going back to its normal business filter through the window and tried not to think about whether anyone in that courtyard had felt anything at all while it happened.Aurora knocked at some point in
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 036: The Poison and the Name
The Poison and the Name“Talia’s POVAt that moment his grip loosened. I pulled my arm free and walked out. I didn’t look back at him.I kept my pace steady through the corridor, past the guard at the turn and past two maids who flattened themselves against the wall as I walked by. My chest was still running hot from everything I had said and everything he had said back.I bumped into Monica at the end of the corridor. She opened her mouth in surprise and took a step toward me.I walked past her without slowing.“Talia.” Her voice had that specific edge. “I’m speaking to you, how dare you walk out on me?”I kept walking. Whatever she said after that I didn’t hear because I had already turned and put enough distance between us that her voice became just another sound in the pack that I was choosing not to absorb.I closed my room door and stood in the middle of the room and let everything that had been building since I saw that face outside find somewhere to go.I pressed my hands aga
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 035: You Will Always be Mine
You Will Always Be MineTalia’s POVI had been away from the pack since early morning and by midday I was already itching to go back.It didn’t want to admit it. The meetings had run long and the traders from the eastern territory made a lot of arguments that we reached a conclusion after a lot of dragging. The entire time I had been sitting across that table with half my attention on the room and the other half on Talia. Cassian noticed how restless I was on our way back.“You’ve adjusted your wristband four times in the last hour,” he said, riding close beside me.“The strap is loose,” I said.“It isn’t,” he said. “Aurora is with her. She’s fine...”“Alpha.”“I heard you the first time,” I said.He let a moment pass. “Monica was still in the fortress when we left. I know how she behaves when you’re not around.”That was exactly why I was worried. Even though Aurora was with her, my mother and Monica alone had more power. “Aurora is capable of protecting herself,” I said.“I believ
The Alpha I Saved Ruined Me 034: The Face I Recognized
The Face I RecognizedTalia’s POVI was informed about the Moon Goddess celebration a while ago. It was a celebration which they said it’s more like a worship but from what I’m seeing, it’s more like a show off here. In my village during celebrations, it used to be quiet and warm. People would put small candles on their windowsills and the ones who had someone would sit with them after dinner, and the ones who didn’t would find company anyway because nobody spent that particular evening alone if they could help it. Mateo would usually organize something, a shared meal in the main hall, whatever scraps of sweetened bread could be put together from what was available.I thought about all of them sitting around that table without me. I thought about whether they were safe, whether Valik’s promised protection extended to them. I thought about the women who had been taken the night Aurora and I went out, and the village head who had run toward the hunters with his hands open.I was sittin
