The Alpha's stolen bride 120
Chapter 120 KeithThe sun had risen, casting its warm rays upon the camp, but my heart remained shrouded in darkness. The one month I had given Evans to peacefully hand over power to Daniel had come to an end, and he had not complied. The time for diplomacy had passed, and now, I was left with no choice but to assert my authority with an iron fist.I gathered my most trusted advisors and strategists, outlining our next course of action. The tension in the air was palpable as we discussed the escalating situation. It was clear that Evans was not willing to relinquish his power peacefully, and his defiance would have severe consequences."Summon Jason," I commanded, my voice firm and resolute. "We need to prepare the recruits for action. This betrayal cannot go unanswered."As the orders were relayed, my mind raced with a mix of anger and disappointment. Jason, the hypocrite, had cunningly used my trust to sow the seeds of rebellion within the camp. He had manipulated the recruits, mol
The Alpha's stolen bride Chapter one
Tomorrow was the day of my wedding and I was excited, so excited even. Of course, every woman should be excited at the thought of her upcoming marriage, shouldn't she? And truthfully, I really couldn't wait for tomorrow to arrive. My parents, who were the Alpha and Luna of the Juno Pack had betrothed me, at very young age, to the Alpha of a rival pack as a treaty and to end the war between the two packs. The knowledge of this had always been with me for as long as I could remember and I always knew what purpose I would have to fulfill in my pack. Even though I was the second child of my parents, I was brought up in a rigorous way and given the Alpha training along with my eldest brother, Harry. That being said, I had Alpha blood in my veins and I could as well have been called an Alpha female. The man I was betrothed to was an aging man who was the Alpha of the rival pack. I had grown up visiting him so I knew him well. I knew his character and he knew mine. He was a bit reserved
The Alpha's stolen bride Chapter two
Still screaming, I dashed madly out of the suite to the only place or the only person I could go to at this point. Perhaps, he could still save my soon to be husband. He looked as if he was already dead but I really did not want him to die. We weren't even married, for God's sake. What was going to happen now?I was still screaming ad I ran down the hallways of the pack house until I arrived at a door. I banged on the door hysterically as I screamed. "Let me in! It's the Alpha! Let me in!"In the flash of a moment, someone opened the door and appeared by the doorway, peering out at me in puzzlement. "It's... it's... " I stuttered, unable to get a coherent sentence out now that the doctor was finally in front of me. What then was I waiting for that I couldn't speak. Didn't I want my husband to live? Well, I had to do something now and I had to do it really fast. "It's the Alpha," I said weekly, already close to sobbing. "I saw him lying on his bed lifelessly and he was also foaming
The Alpha's stolen bride Chapter three
DavinaAt his words, everyone in the hall gave a loud and collective gasp of shock including the elders and even me too. What was he saying? As far as I knew, my late fiance didn't have an heir. So who was this man who was claiming to be his heir? Was he serious at all? He couldn't be. I knew that.The most senior elder rose from his seat and came over to where the man was. When he was there, he said, "Let's have this discussion in a moment, Keith. The rest of the pack cannot be around to hear it all."I almost gasped in surprise. So the elders knew him. That meant may be he was telling the truth? But then, just because the elders knew him didn't mean that what he said was true. He could be lying for all I knew. He nodded and the elder stepped up to the podium and then took the microphone, making me give way for him. He spoke in a tone that brooked no arguments or objections from the people of the pack. "People of Antarti pack, this meeting has come to a close. Make sure you follow
The Alpha's stolen bride Chapter four
Davina It was exactly four full moons after our mating ceremony–I had been counting– and I was still not used to the stranger who had become my mate by providence. We managed to put up a good performance on the day of the mating ceremony for the sake of the pack and I had held back my disgust when people winked suggestively at us. They expected me to be glad that I had snagged a supposedly handsome younger man as a mate compared to the much older Alpha I was to marry earlier on. Mating would be easier with a younger man, they assumed. If only they knew how wrong they were. Sitting in my room for hours was both advantageous and disadvantageous. On one hand, it would limit the number of times I had to see Keith and as a result, reduce exchanging words with him. On the other hand, however, I would get nothing done all day and the pack’s growth was of utmost importance to me. “Lily, have you seen Kei—the Alpha today?” I spat out the honourific reluctantly. Goddess knew he was undeserv
The Alpha's stolen bride Chapter five
Davina His sudden exclamation instinctively made me feel self-conscious and I glanced down at what I had on. It turned out that in my provocation, I had forgotten to change from my light domestic clothes. It was breezy and almost transparent. Lily had not noticed either and it was so embarrassing that Keith had been the one to point it out. Nevertheless, his reaction to it was more of frustration than critical. I had him where I wanted him. “And what about it? After all, we are in less than this when we shift to embrace our true nature. A few clothes should not bother you.” “Who said I was bothered?” he immediately defended himself, a scowl furrowing his forehead. “If you would ban me from your bed, your own mate, you would be capable of doing anything even resorting to being a tease.” I had taken enough insults from him and that was the last straw. I launched myself at him, grabbing the lapels of his deerhide shirt and tugging him off his throne. A gasp of surprise left his lips
The Alpha's stolen bride Chapter six
KeithOnce Davina had gone and Jason had not returned, I decided to turn in for the night. I ached from my struggle with my rather strong Luna and I had the wounds to show for it. Alone in my sleeping chambers, I eyed the adjoining door between she and I. It would only take the twist of a key that we both had possession of and I would be in her room. However, she did not want me and I was not so clouded by lust that I would beg for affection from a female. I gingerly lowered myself to my bed after stripping off my clothes and tossing them over a chair. My room was in disarray but it was not as cluttered as the space in my head. I was supposed to be the murderer of my mother and not many people had forgotten. The pack members rarely ever visited the House of Alphas and when they dared to, they preferred to seek audience with Davina, shunning me in the background. They wanted nothing to do with me and my reputation was shot. The open gash on my back was slowly stitching close, slower
The Alpha's stolen bride Chapter seven
DavinaThe sun was still up by the time we returned and I pondered continually on Keith’s unusual behaviour earlier. Around the pup, he had been gentle and softspoken, making her feel safe. That was a side to him I had never seen. Another reason it bothered me was seeing him act so homely around pups also meant he might want some of his own. Coincidentally, I would be expected to have this pups with a man I was not fond of. Keith was facially a more-than-okay male, good looking and had a dangerous edge to his grin that endeared females to him for some reason. I could not deny the fact that I found him attractive too to some extent but it didn’t mean I would be comfortable mating with it. That was a nightmare, just thinking about it. While his back was turned to me, I took it as my cue to leave and change into something less constricting. “Luna, wait. I would like a word with you.” His sudden interruption to my much desired exit was unexpected and unwanted. I halted in my tracks and
