While on my way to the house, I heard the news. There was a threat to my alpha ship. The elders told my mum that if I didn’t get a mate and married before the year ends, I’ll be dethroned. So I had to do the needful. I had a boyfriend for like a year. He was the alpha of a small pack. Wes. With that he asked that we come open with our relationship to save my alpha ship. “When is he going to mark you?” mum asked. “Soon” “Let him do it now!” I turned to mum. “Now!” “Yes, now is the best time” “Okay” So I decided to go visit him. That way I would update him on the happenings. But the moment I walked into his room, I knew something was wrong. I walked slowly to his inner room and what I saw made my eyes water. I was staring at my mate, Alpha west thrusting in and out of Arabella. My Beta. Immediately I bolted out of the building. I ran with all my strength but the weight of the gown slowed me down. I lifted it and began to run. I didn’t know where I was going but I kne
“One glass for me” I smiled. “One glass for you” I handed it to elder Abram. “Thank you, your highness” he took the glass from her. “You have done so well elder Abram.” I smiled. I raised my glass to him.” this is fir a job well done” “Thank you once again your highness” he smiled. It’s been a long time since I was this happy about some news. It’s good thing I left Xander behind. If it were up to him, I would still be in pains for failed plans. Even when Abram was asked that golden gift, I thought that was my moment but as Elder Abram consoled me that day, he said I shouldn’t worry that another day will come. And it sure did. Finally my plans are working. My son is feeling bad. I would make him execute his friend and beta and then turn around to make him look like a bad person. The plan was simple. Turn him bad. Make him angry and then I’ll make him feel guilty. Little by little he would finally lose it. Just that the only thing I couldn’t wrap my head around was who his mat
“Your Highness.” I turned away from the window to find Sean, the gamma. “You came early,” I said. “I have to. Vok is my friend” he replied. I nodded. I slowly put down the tobacco and walked to my desk. “Have a seat.” I gestured to the chair, and he nodded. I moved away from the files on my table and put a fresh sheet on the table. “So” I raised my head up and stared at the young man seated in front of me. He looked intelligent but I needed to check that out. “What do you make of what the meeting is?” “The meeting with the elders?” I nodded. Sean let out a breath. “Your Highness I know I am not the best to speak in situations like this but I think the elders are testing you” “Testing me?’ he nodded. “We all know you're Alpha Knox. The strongest in the land. Because of your strength in the past, you have been strict with the pack. Especially the elders you didn’t even leave them have so much say but lately there has seemed to be a change” I nodded. He was observ
“Get in there. Bastard!” The guard shoved me into my cell. In the process, I stubbed my toe, and it began to bleed. I looked at it and at the guard. “So what are you going to do about that huh? Beta? He said with a smug smile, but he stressed my title. Like it was some dirty word. I stared at him. Squinting. His name tag says his name is Sargent Felix. I stared into his face. Watching him. His nose and eyes and mouth. I need to memorize all these. Because the moment I'm out of this place, it's going to be hell for him. The Sargent walked closer. “ What are looking at bozo!” I moved back. “ Come on, Felix boy, why don't you step in and pluck my eyes out.” if he was stupid enough, he would have taken me up on that offer; he would be the first I killed in a long time, with my bare hands. And not even the alpha would do anything about it. His eyes widened for a moment but he quickly recovered. “ I'm not scared of you, bozo,,” he said. I smiled. “That's exactly what scared and cow
I spent the day dreaming about the guy who had saved me from the hedge. Who was he? Why was he here? He wasn't just strong but he was handsome. I'll ask questions. I need to know him. Maybe when prisoners were to do joint manual labor, I would see him. “Daydreaming again, Lilith?” I looked down from the bonk to see my cellmate. Lake. I chuckled. “ Yes” “You haven't forgotten about him right?” “How could I?” She burst into laughter. “ You are such a lover girl” It didn't take long before the female guard walked into the prison. “Listen, girls,” she said. “The courtyard is too dirty, you guys are going to clean it again” Groans and murmurings filled the air. She hit her baton on a gate. “ Shut the fuck up! I'm not asking you. I'm telling you” And that was how we filed up to go cut grass. When we got to the field, we saw the male prisoners and they began to whistle. Girls giggled. “Get to work and stop flirting!” A warden thundered. Halfway through, I began t
So I did my homework. His name is Vok Sinclair. He is the beta of the pack. Well, until recently, he was put in prison. That was all I got. That was literally all I got. I wondered why. I turned around. “Come on, Lake, nothing else?” She looked up from what she was writing. “ If you asking me why he's in here, I have no idea. And finding out would only put you in trouble.” I sighed and stared at the paper Lake had written his info for me. A smile stretched out. I took out a pen. My hands are over the paper. So I scribbled down more details. Sliver hair, brown eyes, hooded shaped eyes, strong physique, tall and handsome. I smiled as I looked at the paper. Oh those eyes of him would be my undoing. So how do I find out more about him? No way? All I was going to do was sit and wait. ******************************************************** I sat in my bed waiting, bored and tired of waiting for news on the beta when I heard the big hate open. A warden walked in. I di
“Sir!” I looked up from the book I was reading and a big smile formed on my face. “Sean?” I sprang up from bed and immediately went to the gate. He quickly opened it and I pulled him into a hug. “Man, it’s so nice to see you” “Yes sir” he smiled. I stared at him and pride filled me up. I thought I could never make anyone loyal to me the way I was loyal to Alpha Knox. I never for once thought that he would himself out to save me, if push came to shove. “What are you doing here? You are not stationed in the prison,” I said. Sean smiled. “I cane to deli— “Hey, Vok!” prisoners stood up and began to chant my name. They had seen what was going on. “Come, let’s talk outside,” he said,d, and I nodded. I walked in front and he followed behind. When we were out of the prison area, almost at the visitation area, he tapped me. “Sir, the Alpha wants to see you,,” he said. I glanced at the doorway and rubbed a hand over my neck. I couldn’t see the alpha last time because I
He asked me out! I couldn't believe it I was nervous as I got ready for my date with Vok. He had asked me after we both left the prison and I readily agreed. I think he knows I like him too. I spent hours picking out the perfect outfit, doing my hair and makeup, and rehearsing conversation topics in my head. I needed to be cool and fun in front of him. When he arrived to pick me up, I was pleasantly surprised to see that he had put in just as much effort as I had. He was dressed sharply and had even brought me a small bouquet of flowers. We went to a cozy Italian restaurant in the heart of the city, and as we sat across from each other, I couldn’t help but feel a little starstruck. I had always admired Vok from afar, and now here I was, sitting across from him, enjoying a meal together. “Do you love the meal?” Vok asked me. I looked up at Vok who was watching me intently. I took a bite of my food and savored the flavors in my mouth. “It’s delicious,” I said with a s
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 toni
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
I paced my room. “Your Highness, Amy is here” “Let her in !” The door to my chambers was slightly open. I could see the figure there. I could smell the fear on her body. “Come on” She flinched and nodded quickly. “Where is she?” My voice was quiet, dangerously quiet. The kind of quiet that came before a storm. Before I rained terror. I was even surprised at myself. Normally I would have snapped two necks by now. I stood in the center of my room, my chest heaving, eyes glowing an eerie gold. The air crackled with the tension of what my next action would be. Kill her? Amy, the maid, stood frozen as she stood there. Her hands clutched the corner of her apron like a lifeline. “My…. My… I mean. Your Highness…I—” I didn't need to repeat myself. In a flash, I was in front of her, fangs bared, eyes wild with something far more dangerous than rage, desperation. I need to find her before my mother gets hold of her. “Where. Is. My. Mate?” I growled. Amy trembled, her knees bu
“We are back, your Highness.” The new secretary turned to me and Vok with a bright smile. I dropped my phone. “I guess it's goodbye to seeing all those humans and their fat faces,” I replied. Vok and the secretary chuckled. I sighed and opened the door. I stretched my legs and walked to the other side. I smiled, staring at the environment. The green vegetation and all. Not those colored plastics Humans make in the lab. It is indeed good to be home. “Your Highness, the alpha of the blue moon pack sends his regards,” the secretary announced suddenly. I frowned. “Sorry Your Highness, Sir,, “ he said looking at me and Vok before he finally disappeared “Vok are you sure he's a werewolf?” Vok smiled. “ yes your highness” I sighed. It's been a while, really. I began to think about my life for the past one month. 2 weeks earlier, when I saw that the job here on the human side was way too big to be done within a week, I became worried. How would the pack go on? Vok began to m
When I looked up, I could see the gamma’s eyes bilge out. He stiffened on seeing me. I bent my head in shame. He must have been surprised seeing me here, like this. In this uniform, when I should have been dressed like her because, in the real sense, I was the present Luna, though I hadn’t laid claim to that title or agreed to be the alpha’s mate willingly. He coughed and looked away. I could see his struggle. Trying to rescue me without revealing my true identity. He must have known that the alpha didn’t want his mother to see me. But what sort of person works for the person who could kill her in the blink of an eye? I guess I was stubborn like the alpha said. “It’s nice to see you out here” Queen Ashira smiled. “The feeling is mutual, your highness,,” Sean said with a forced smile. “This maid tried to poison me, so I was going to punish her,” she said, looking over her shoulder and glaring at me. “That is such a huge allegation. Did you see her yourself?” “Yes.” The
I have to admit, life as a maid was horrible. With each passing day, I was beginning to regret my actions. Maybe I might have judged Alpha Knox too harshly. No matter what I did to him, he would never be cruel to me, the way the chief maid and cook were to the maids. They don’t want to see you happy or resting. If they get you in any of the stated two, they always find a way to milk you of the joy in your heart. I went from cleaning to washing to cooking. By the end of the day, I would be too exhausted to think of anything. And the next day was the same, and again and again. This was my life. I hated it with all my heart. And that thing they said, the two palaces would not share jobs were utter bullshit. Time and time again, I had been sent to clean cars and stables belonging to, Alpha Knox. Luckily for me, no one recognized me. I tried to think of possible ways to leave but the more I thought, the more absurd my ideas were becoming. One day while I was cleaning the stables
" What are going to do now?" Anna held my hand as we walked from work, back to the house. I shrugged. "Don't worry, dear Anna, I'll find a way," I said with a small smile. Anna smiled sadly at me too. She was the first person I met at work. While others were snobby and Rude, she was like a breath of fresh air. Alex had asked me to sleep with him if I wanted to keep my job. I couldn't do that. At least not now, that I didn't know when the alpha would be back. He would go bunkers once he found out I had actually mated with someone else. He might even kill. That was exactly not what I wanted. Anna bid me goodbye at my hostel apartment and left. That night I did a lot of thinking. If I didn't work it would mean no food and no money for rent. These two things kept me on my toes when I escaped. I did not want to live on the streets and beg for food like I did when I first escaped. The next day I decided to go look for a job. I walked all through the day but no one had vacancy. I a
