The Alpha King's human redemption

Adeline I tried to hold onto the wall as the floor beneath me shifted; I took in deep breaths, willing myself to stand for longer, my breaths came out in pants, and my sight got foggy. My head suddenly swam, and I felt the urge to throw up, except there was nothing to vomit; my stomach was empty. I hadn't eaten in three days, the little sneaky devil; Sarah and her minions had refused to give me my food because they were in charge of the cafeteria for the week; as usual, I had pretended not to care and held my head high each time I got skipped at the queue. The other slaves didn’t dare interfere, and I didn’t blame them; I was mostly hated in this part. Somehow, these people blamed the fall of the human race on my tiny shoulders. My father, who was a werewolf hunter, had killed the former werewolf Alpha, causing the outbreak of the war. The werewolves had won the war, subduing the entire human race. I closed my eyes to shake off the tiny black dots dancing in front of me, I

Adeline The Alpha announced his judgement, which was my execution and for a moment, I felt horrified, but then, I realised death was not a bad thing; it was going to be my passage away from the torment I had faced on this earth, and I would finally get to see my parents. I smile at the Alpha, for to him, it was the greatest punishment, but to me, he was saving me. I willingly gave the guards my hands, which they bound before they led me back to the cell. I awoke to voices I recognised as Caleb and Ella's. They were pleading with the guard at the entrance so they could see me. I am surprised he agreed, as the door creaks and opens, letting in a little light. The guard led them to my cell, “You have twenty minutes," he said in a gruff voice before he opened the iron door to my cell. Ella rushed in and fell at my side, enveloping me in a hug while she began to cry. I tried to comfort her, but she cried louder; feeling embarrassed, I looked up at Caleb, who was standing awkwa

Adeline The guard had placed my head on the wood, I closed my eyes tightly as I made peace with death and waited patiently for when the cold metal would touch my skin. The guard asked me to say my last words; I looked at the crowd to where Helen Whitlock, Ella and Caleb’s mother, was holding a wailing Ella. A single tear dropped out of my eye and I closed them finally. When I heard the order, at first, it sounded so far away, but when the axe landed beside me, my eyes flew open to see the Alpha standing in the crowd, and we just stared at each other. I felt a pull, so strong in my chest toward him. The air between us was so charged that though he stood a few meters away from where I was kneeling, I felt him so close to me. My mind was blank while we continued to just stare at each other. The expression on his face was so intense like he wanted to possess me, as if I was the long-lost treasure he had been looking for. I tried to break the stare, but I couldn't; it was as if a g

CaddelI dashed towards the torture chamber as quickly as my feet could carry me with my guards hot on my heels. I attempted to connect with her screams but was met with silence. My heart rate increased as I wondered what had gone wrong; I sent a silent prayer to the goddess; I hoped she was still alive.“Alpha" a young guard at the torture room door bowed in greeting. "Open the door!" I ordered him hurriedly, but the guard did not budge; instead, he looked at me confused. “Now!!” I thundered before he scurried around to unlatch the door locks.I ran into the room and let out a horrified gasp“Is she dead?” I asked no one in particular while I took gentle steps toward her. Fear gripped my heart like a vice, and it thundered in my ear."She has just passed out; she thought she was a tough cookie, but as soon as the hot iron touched her, she passed out." A grim-looking guard answered with a mocking laugh while the others joined him in the laughter.I shot them an annoyed look

AdelineThe bell for breakfast rang not too long after and everyone ran out to the dining hall, there was an unspoken rule that if you were late for breakfast you could as well not have come cause the food would have finished. It was the survival of the fittest in here. My stomach chose to growl at that moment, I hadn't had a proper meal in a while and I was hungry but I knew I couldn't get to the dining hall on time. So I did the only thing I could; squeeze my eyes shut and hope the hunger passed. "Adeline! Adeline!!" I turned in my sleep, someone was shaking my shoulders gently. "I can't believe the Alpha could be this heartless," Caleb's angry voice filtered into my sleep.I opened my eyes grudgingly, sleep was the only way I could forget the hunger and pain I was feeling in that very moment."Adeline," Ella said in a rush, excitement filling her voice as she threw her arms around me and hugged me tightly."It's so good to see you again," she muttered into my neck her voice alre
