A feeling of unease washed over me as I watched the people converse with each other. Why was I here again? It was Madam Lafayette. She had insisted I visit the human side and celebrate with my brother on his marriage.

No he wasn't getting married to a human. Those weaklings made my blood boil. I just don't get why they call themselves the most intelligent beings.

Vincent, my brother was getting married to a fellow werewolf he had met here. He said he didn't want to come back home or anything.

Someone tapped me and I turned.

“Hey brother” Vincent smiled.

“Hey baby bro” I smiled back.

“You made it” he said. I opened my arms and pulled him in for a hug.

“Yes I did” a memory comes to mind. Of one Madam Lafayette was goaring at me when I said I wasn't gonna come. I released him and looked into his eyes. Vincent hasn't changed a bit. Not physically though.

Vincent, the youngest of my siblings was the kindest amongst us. He had what wolf's call a weak heart. Thry would call

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Finding the root cause

    I stared at her and then at the gun. My mind was going through a lot. If only I could get close enough. I could do it. I could get the upper hand, so long my hands were free, there was a chance. Arya dared not try to bind me. She knew I could smash her. “Stop looking at me like that!” Arya barked. I stared at her deadpanned. I wasn't afraid. Not at all. What I felt was rage. Bone deep rage. The person facing me was small. Arya was petite. It took nothing to crush her. “Who put you up to this Arya?” I asked. “Stop talking!” I stayed still and walked to the bed. “Where are you going Knox? Stay at a spot! Or else I'll shoot you” I smirked at her. “ You can call me by my name.” “I'm no longer that 7 year that played hode and seek with your family” My lips quirked up into a half smile. “ Oh really? So who are you now?” Her hands moved fast to the trigger. “Shut up Knox, you aren't the one in charge here. You will not tell me what to do or say” I nodded. Still smiling.

    I had thought that Knox would be here any minute but the longer I waited, the more clear it was that Knox was not coming back for us. Maximus the 2nd in command of this unlawful seige had not stopped looking at me lustfully. Where ever I went, his eyes followed me. His superior Stephen hawking was all about Killin people who didn't adhere to his rooms. That night as I slept, I was scared. Scared that Amelia must have died before she sent in the news. Scared that no one was actually come to save us. I tossed and turned in bed until I finally slept and fell into a dream. ******************************************************** As l walked to his house, I had sweat dripping down my armpit and hands. I had never been this nervous. I thought of what will become of me if Maximus vented his anger on me. I knew it wasn’t in my place to interfere but I just couldn’t sit back and watch her be killed. I just couldn’t. It wasn’t her fault to pay. She he was a child who knew nothing about

    My mind was a market place. My thoughts had been consumed by the dream I had last night. If that dream was true, it meant I had two mates. And if I were to choose, I’ll choose Alpha Knox. He was not as manipulative as Alpha Maximus. But the mark on my body meant Knox was my only mate. I was cleaning the room where I had slept in last night, when a maid ran into the tent. “Nina! Nina!” “What?” “Something bad is happening!” She pulled me out of the tent and we ran to a place that were crowdes with people. Even though I was just a maid here, people knew me to be a story of justice leader. Freedom fighter. “This girl deserves to die!” Maximus growled and the young girl began to weep. “Please have mercy your highness” she cried. I turned to the maid.” What did she do?” I whispered. “She used the walkway reserved for the alpha” my eyes widened. She nodded. That was the biggest crime as a maid. A lower person in a pack. We sometimes do this but no body told on anyone. Death i

    “Don't touch me!” I barked. They didn't heed to my words as they threw me into the room. One of the guards stared me in the face and shoved me harder than expected. I landed in my butt. “Owwww” I yelped. “Stay here and don't come out!” He growled. The moment they left me alone in the room, I began to pace. I felt like a butterfly put in a bottle. Just then I opened my hands and there was crumbled up pain in it. I arched an eyebrow. What was this? I didn't recall having to get a paper on my way here. Slowly I unwrapped thr crumbled mess and began to read. And I did that countless times, till my eyes became blurry. It read. Meet me at the water fall tonight, if you want to get out of here alive. I froze. What was this? Was it that guard that shoved me? I read it again. The more I read, the more anxious I became. A part of me wanted to meet him. “I’m sorry your highness, I didn’t mean to do that” she begged. I raised a hand. “Its okay” she nodded. She was packing

    The music was soft, slow glowing around as I watched people walk around me like a furniture. I was on attendance to this event because Maximus had upgraded me from a maid to a Luna in waiting. The jealousy I have received in just few minutes of arrival, were humongous to count. Everywhere I looked, there was someone glatong my way. Maximus had thrown a ball in celebration of his success in the siege of the Femwood pack. I stood by watching the banished lunas comfortable in the midst of their enemies. They engaged I. Silly conversation on which guard from the blue moon pack was the most handsome. Spine less women. While they stay and smile like buffoons, maids were in the back slaving all through. Disgust filled my belly and I was this close to vomit. As I sipped on my drink, I felt some sort of unease all over me. I knew someone was looking at me. I could see them the lady at 6’oclock with ugly looking wig. The woman at the door with a hideous make you to cover her insecurities. An

    Pacing the end of the hall I looked up to the VIP section. Your Highness was yet to come out. I was sure the party was over but she was nowhere to be found. Even maximus and seven Hawkins had left the venue but I couldn't find her. Was she found? Overwhelmed with worry I began to go up the VIP section. “hey you! “Someone yelled behind me. I froze but I kept going. I just wanted to reach the end of the VIP section. I just wanted to know if anyone was still up there. I hoped she had not been killed or something. “are you hard of hearing! I said stop! “The voice was harsher and closer. I immediately stopped. “turn around “the voice behind me ordered. I took in a deep breath and slowly turned. “Marcus?”It was the chief of the bodyguards. I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it was him. This will be easy to get out of. “Hey chief” I laughed nervously. “What are you doing up here?” His eyes roamed the room behind me. I looked down and sighed. “ Is anything wrong?” he

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    No hope?

    “I can’t believe this” I muttered as tears began to pool in my eyes. He sighed and looked away. Marcus was hurt when I told him Amelia had died. I apologized fot not coming to the meeting because I was too hurt. Too hurt to think about anything other than my pain. I had lost a friend. And no one was going to help us. “I wonder why Alpha Knox didn't come?” I said. “you are his mate. He should be running in now” he said turning back to stare at me. I couldn’t hold it all in as I sobbed quietly. No one cares about me. Even the f*e that did either died or are suffering. I thought of Lilith. I might never get to meet her again. Few minutes passed and when my cries had been reduced to just sniffs, he cleared his throat. “There’s more bad news?’ I glared at him and he nodded. “Then out with it” I snapped. The moment I did, I felt worse. This man was not to blame for anything but I felt angry. Enough with the pain. “I’m sorry” I muttered but he stopped me with a wave of his hands “It’s

    The breeze blew steadily through the window and caused the room to be quite chilly. I shivered in reaction. Staring do you I could goose pimples all over my body. I groaned and ran a hand over my hair. I hated being sick. The feeling of inadequacy and less strength scared the hell out of me. How would I control and command the pack if I lay confined in a room. On a bed. With all my strength, I managed to sit up. My breathing was ragged as I tried to steady myself. I sat on the edge of the bed, my head in my hands. I could feel my skin burning like fire was licking at my insides. Every muscle ached, like I had gone ten rounds in a fight I didn’t remember. Even thr thought of laying back on the bed. The strength to do that. It hurt so much. A layer of sweat slicked my skin, my breathing shallow. My wolf stirred restlessly, uneasy. Something was wrong. Why was I sick suddenly? Was it what I ate? I hadn't eaten much since I got back with Arya. "Your highness" Vok ‘voice cu

    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 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

    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

    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

    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 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.

    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

    The rain had just stopped falling and I gave the guards a signal to start moving. It wasn't a short distance but we were ready to go far to get what we wanted. Firstly I asked that the ice in the palace be warm or disposed. I mean, anything I would do to not let them keep supplying the ice dungeon more ice. That way Nina would still be alive. I and my men stopped in front of the pink gate. I rolled my eyes. My mother and weird colors. “Announce us! “ my guard ordered. “Your majesty! The alpha of winter fell is here to see you” The man hurriedly ran to open the door. I recognize him. He hadn't changed at all. Xander. My mother's minion. All Ashira had to do was to say jump and he would be asking how high. I hated him. He was spineless. Not a he wolf. He was easily ordered around like a little dog. I wondered if he ever transitioned. I doubt if he has. If not he wouldn't be this spineless. The door opened and I squinted. Stating right in front of me were colors. Like a rainbo
