The Alpha king's Saving Grace Chapter 13
I stormed out of his study and with quick, hurried steps, marched to heaven knows where.Feeling the need to stop and breathe, I took the first turn and luckily, it was the kitchen.I walked towards the sink, grabbed a glass from the cabinet and placed it under the faucet, letting it fill up.Once it began to overspill, I turned off the tap and threw my head back, downing the water in one go, hoping the cool liquid would quench the fire in my heart on its way.I was livid.Never in my life, past and present, have I ever been treated this way.“Who the fuck does he think he is?” I growled inwardly.“Who does who think he is?” Someone asked from beside me and my eyes rolled to the back of my head.Could someone have any alone time in this place?I ignored her, hoping she would just disappear but of course, I didn't have such luck.“Tabitha, are you okay?” Hilda asked.I kept mute.“Did you get in a fight with someone?” She asked again.I turned abruptly to face her and probably tell her

My eyes fluttered open slowly before the ceiling came in focus.I couldn't tell what time it was but everywhere was still very dark.I twisted and turned and tried to get back in a comfortable position to sleep and after about ten minutes of turning aimlessly, I huffed and sat up on the bed.I rubbed my eyes while yawning and stretching my body out.All I did was do chores around the house and sleep and even though my current body was too weak to do otherwise, my mind couldn't comprehend it.In the army, I was always busy.Physically, mentally and all round but now, I just felt like a potato.Sighing at my new reality, I tried to tame my wild hair by running my fingers through it and when I didn't succeed, I settled on tying it up and putting it in place with the scrunchie around my wrist.I yawned again and the hunger pangs in my stomach announced themselves, reminding me I hadn't had any dinner last night.Throwing my legs down, I looked around the dimly lit room and noticed one of

I opened and closed my mouth a few times, trying to come up with something in my defense, but words failed me.Maybe it was the way the lighting reflected on Ares' face, but I thought I saw just the tiniest smile on his lips before he turned around and walked away, leaving me speechless in the hallway.“Shit, shit, shit,” I muttered under my breath as I repeatedly hit my palm on the part of my forehead that wasn't swollen. Way to make his ego larger than it already was.I growled at the awkward situation and my stomach grumbled, reminding me of the reason why I came out here in the first place.I headed to the fridge and a smile covered my face, the memory of the embarrassing situation with the Alpha, momentarily flying out the window at the sight of all the food in the fridge.My stomach grumbled again and I grabbed bars of chocolate with a big bowl of choco chip ice cream.With the smile still planted on my face, I headed back to the room, hoping not to bump into a certain someone

I stared at her, waiting for her to continue but she turned back to what she was doing.I sighed. I guess I'll have to ask.“That's the reason for this rush, because?” She turned to me like she thought my reasoning process was too slow.“The Alpha is having his breakfast in the dining hall,” she repeated slowly like she was talking to a five-year old, who had understanding difficulties.“I heard you the first time, Hilda,” I said, resisting the urge to roll my eyes. “Why is it a big deal?”“Because the Alpha NEVER eats in the dining hall,” she said, laying heavy emphasis on ‘never’.I frowned.“The Alpha gets tired of a daily routine and wants to try something new. Big deal,” I said, trying to keep the sarcasm from my voice.“It is….” She started but shook her head. “Just fry the eggs,” she instructed like she thought I was hopeless.The memories of my terrible cooking experiences came back to me and I knew that wasn't going to end well.I had only barely passed the maid's test, whic

Ares’ povI clutched the fork in my hand tightly until it bent while I stared at her.I had my eyes on her almost throughout the meal.Heck, I've had my eyes on her since she came here, but I've never seen this expression on her face before.At the name of my beta, she breathed a deep sigh of relief like all was alright in the world and her eyes sparkled like a kid in a candy store.I didn't like it.I mean I liked that she did look softer and happy but I didn't like that she had that expression because of my beta.She only ever looked at me like she wanted to stab a knife through my chest, which only makes it more infuriating.“Why does her countenance bother you so much? I thought you didn't like our mate,” my wolf, Pellar growled at me.“I don't,” I snapped and cut the mind-link.He had been giving me a lot of attitude since this girl came here.I didn't blame him.He wanted a mate.But we didn't need her.We survived this long without one.If anything, her presence here only spelt

I paced the hallway impatiently while bitting down on my fingernails.“What's taking them so long?” I muttered to myself.I had been waiting for over an hour.I wasn't about to let an opportunity at a conversation with Jason slip through my fingers, so I waited.I hadn't meant to eavesdrop but when I pressed my ear to the door to know if they were still talking business or if they were already rounding up, I heard Jason talking about the funeral.My funeral.I had to find a way to tell him the truth before then.The door creaked open a few minutes later and he stepped out.Time stopped at the same time I stopped moving and a small sigh escaped my lips.His head was cast towards the ground as he walked towards me and I stood right in his way.He stopped a few feet away from me and looked up.His hair was longer than it used to be and light stubbles littered his chin.My heart tugged as I took in his features.He was sad and I hated that I was the reason.“You,” he said flatly.“I was w

It was no news that the funeral of the great warrior was in three days.This gave me mixed feelings but mostly made me a nervous wreck.I've never been in this situation before and I didn't know what to make of it.I also hadn't seen Jason since that day and no, I wasn't fast enough to meet him.He was long gone before I came out of that encounter with Ares that annoyed me for days.I was currently helping Hilda in preparing dinner as different thoughts raced through my mind but the one at the top of that list was how to get to Jason.Maybe if I could…“Ah!” The small cry left my lips and I dropped the knife noisily.“What is it?” Hilda rushed to my side and her eyes widened as they fell on my finger that was now gushing out blood. “Oh my goodness,” she blurted out and immediately turned on the tap and pushed my finger under the sink.“I'm okay,” I said and held back an eye roll at her overreaction.“You're bleeding!” She all but screeched in my ears.“Wow really?” I asked sarcastical

We moved in a single file, carrying different platters of food in our hands as we walked to the dining room where the Alpha was to be served.I hated this part of my day with passion.The part where I have to stand and watch him eat.The room was always filled with silence and thick tension that could be cut through by a knife.I was always quiet in my spot and the only sounds in the room was usually the clatter of his cutleries while he ate.He obviously didn't want to talk to me but what was unnerving was that he had to put the both of us through the torture of being in each other's presence.Since my last encounter with him, I decided it was best to keep my mouth shut if I still had plans of leaving here with my whole body parts attached to my body.He was too temperamental and dealing with him never ended well.For me at least.I walked into the dining room and placed my own platter on the table and watched the other maids exit the room.After a brief ‘take me with you moment’ in
