“What do you mean I need an heir to buy back that?” I shouted into the phone. Its 5am in the morning and I haven’t slept a wink since I got back to my house.

I was this close to losing it. David had successfully bought 15% of the shares. The remaining 5% was what I had gotten a hold of but the owner of the shares wasn’t going to sell it to me unless I had an heir. She was my mother’s friend. I knew this was mum’s doing. This was a company I own too.

I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. “Okay Mrs. Landin name your price. I will pay. I need those shares.”

“You heard me Mr. Sinclair. I will sell these shares back to you on the condition that you provide an heir.” She said.

“But how am I going to be able to do that” I said in clenched teeth. I could use another way to make her give me those shares but she was affiliated with my mother. If I touched even a strand of hair on her, I knew better of what mum would do.

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    A Little Happiness

    When I opened my eyes that morning, I tried to wave aside that gory, bloodied dream I had. I shook my head. Today was for Lilith, and I needed good emotions. Weddings always make me cry, but Lilith’s hit different. It was like a dream come true. To see her go from her lowest to how she is now made me smile like an idiot. It felt surreal. I watched her glow as she stood with Vok. Who knew that the beta was going to be her mate? I mean, if I were asked in a million years to come, I would never think the Beta was the one for her. Even though he looked like stone when he was talking about work or with the alpha, every time he saw Lilith, he was all smiles. It was strange seeing Vok smile, but Lilith had that effect on people. She was the most positive person I have ever known. And then there was Lukas, Vok’s young son, proudly carrying the rings with a grin so big his cheeks looked sore. Lilith had told me, when his father asked that she marry him, Lukas begged that she be his mot

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Surprises

    I woke up to this banging headache. Oww! I rubbed a hand on my head. How long have I been awake? Is it morning yet? I felt so rough. What happened last night? Oh my head hurts. Okay, I will never drink again. Ever. Slowly, I managed to sit up. I looked around and I couldn’t remember where I was or what had happened last. For a moment, I just sat still. Waiting. Watching. Hoping. That my brain answers all these questions in my head, but nothing comes out. “Hello,” I called out. My voice is as coarse as sandpaper on skin. I thought maybe if I counted to ten, I’ll speak again, and so I counted. One. Two. Three…. “Hello? Anyone there?” And just like that, someone in a uniform appeared. She walked in with a smile and dropped food at the side of my bed. “Hello?” She turned to me and smiled brightly. Immediately, she ran out of the room screaming. And then she came back with someone else. “She’s speaking!” the one in uniform screamed. I squinted at the person she brought. She look

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    My mate

    The boy was wiping his nose when I walked up to him. “You okay, buddy?’ I asked and he replied, nodding quickly. I squat to his level. “It’s okay don't cry, little guy.” he nodded. He raised his hand to my face. “Please excuse me,” he slowly began wiping his face clean. I was touched by such emotions from a little child. “Can I give you a hug?” I said. He looked up at me with teary eyes and nodded. Immediately, I pulled him into my arms, and he wept. I could feel my eyes filling up with tears. Why was he being bullied? Where were his parents? A lot of questions ran through my mind as he stayed in my arms. And when we separated, I couldn’t help but wonder who would do this to such a handsome child. Then I saw something. A resemblance. The boy looked familiar. I couldn't just place it, but I knew he looked like someone I knew. It was so hard not to see the resemblance. I shook my head, ridding my head of such a thought. Nah, I was overthinking it, since he was the one I ha

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Embarrassed

    Ugh. Freaking great. Just great. I slammed the bathroom door behind me and leaned against the sink, glaring at my reflection like it had personally betrayed me. “Nice job, genius,” I muttered, brushing my messy hair out of my face. “You just had to fall right in front of the alphas and beta" The sound of the laughter that erupted from the crowd still made me shudder. I have always been the clumsy one. Before I left the hall miss Danielle gave me some uniforms to change into. My elbow was throbbing, and I was pretty sure there was ketchup on my ass. Fantastic. Couldn’t even wipe out gracefully. I let out a frustrated groan and kicked the air. “I swear I’m cursed,” I hissed, grabbing a paper towel to dab at my shirt. The stain was spreading like it was mocking me. “Can’t even walk straight. Why do I even bother wearing these damn shoes?” I looked up again. My cheeks were still burning, my eyes wild with that mix of embarrassment and rage. I hated this. Hated feeling like some cl

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Life in the palace

    2weeks later I had tears welled up in my eyes as I tried to clean Nina's wounds. The ice dungeon had done more than harm to her. I pitied her. What she had to go through. "Miss Lilith, do you want to dab her face some more?" I shook my head. " It's enough. If I use more hot water on her face, it might burn her skin " The young maid who was my assistant nodded. She began to pack everything we had used to clean Nina. There was improvement in her condition but she doesn't speak yet. Her eyes were open but she wasn't speaking yet. "Nina" she looked at me. " Do you want to have a pineapple or mango smoothie? Blink once if it's a pineapple and twice if it's a Mango" Nina blinked twice and I smiled. We were getting better at this. I took out the mango smoothie and put a straw in it. Then I helped her sit up and held the drink to her lips After all that, I and the maid cleaned up the alpha's room and left. Now the work begins. Even though I was Nina's maid and had my own qua

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Free at last

    I was shocked to find the people I had seen in my dreams sitting in a room. Sean, the gamma and Vok, the beta. I wondered what was going on. I walked slowly to them.they talked in high voices. They hadn't noticed my presence. I recalled the conversation I once had with Nina. She told me to be careful with Vok. And after staying in the prison and there was no hope of myself getting out, I somehow began to see meaning with what Nina said. It was some sort of open secret that high ranking wolves in the pack were not trustworthy. The warden with me cleared her throat and they immediately turned. "Here she is sirs" she bowed a little and turned back. I bowed as I walked to them.. "Sir you want to see me?" I asked. They nodded. "We need your help" Sean said. "On what?" I replied. Vok nudged Sean and he closed his mouth. Not saying anything again. Vok looked up at me. He gave me a small smile "Firstly you have to appear in the alpha's court" he said. My heart sk

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    A weird dream

    There was something odd I had noticed when I woke up. Everywhere was moving it felt like I was in transition. Rubbing my head, I managed to sit up and peered out of the window. I saw that the trees were moving. Have I been kidnapped? Fear engulfed my whole body. It was when I opened my mouth to shout that a familiar voice interrupted me. “Guys, you will attack them from the front– pause– while I and Sean with the others will take it from the back, okay? He asked” and I heard some deep voice responding. This was the voice of Vok, the beta. I found it weird that I could be in the same place with him. “What am I doing here?” I muttered to myself. It was then that it all came rushing to me. I remember being told by the warden to go cut grass in the wee hours of the morning. So I remember that I became cold. I walked into a carriage in the stable and slept off. Now I am with people I don't know, heading to somewhere I don't know. After a while, we stopped moving. “We camp here

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Angry with her

    The pack doctor said rest. He said time would fix what the cold and chains had broken. But I knew better. Time didn’t heal what was taken. Nina slept in my bed, wrapped in fur, barely breathing. I thought leaving her in the royal Infirmary was not a good idea. She needed warmth. I was ready to warm her up. I paced my room as I stared at her. Then I sat and lifted her hand. Her pulse throbbed weakly against my fingers each time I touched her wrist just to make sure she was still there. I sat beside her, unmoving, for hours. “You held on,” I whispered, brushing a knuckle down her cheek. “For me. I swear to the moon, Nina, I’ll never let you be taken again.” She didn’t wake. Didn’t need to. I knew she heard me. In my head, I had already planned what I would do to my mother. She had stepped on the tiger's tail. When I stepped out of the room, Vok was waiting in the sitting room his face was grim, his stance rigid. “She knows.” Of course, Ashira knew. My mother was smart.

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Deceiving my mother

    I got to the bathroom and slowly closed the door. I waited and listened. I could hear footsteps outside the door. I put it on the tap in the bathroom. The noise was okay. Then I tapped on the teleprompter. “Hey, Vok you there?” And all I could hear were crickets. I called out to him again, and the answer was the same. I became tired of trying to get across to him I decided to actually use the bathroom. After I flushed, I stood in front of the mirror, water dripping down my face, hands gripping the sink like it could stop the storm inside me. I have tried countless times to get across to Vok, but all of them favored me, and I was getting frustrated. Any moment now, my mother would have to be the one to knock on the door and ask what was taking me so long. Suddenly the teleprompter in my ear buzzed low. “your Highness” came my Vok's voice, tight with urgency. “We’ve hit a dead end. A gate. Reinforced steel deep in silver. If we hold in longer, we might die.” “Where is it?” I
