I spoke at length with Lilith. She told me lots of beautiful things that happened in the prison. Also, she talked about the bad ones. We cried about it. When we stopped crying, Lilith stared at me. "What?" I asked. She smiled. " I know what you are doing?" "And what is that?" I asked smiling. "You are trying not to talk about your ordeal" and then the smile was wiped off my face. I looked at my hands. Lilith tilted my face towards her. "I have been worried about you," she said." But if you are okay not telling me about what you went through, I am okay.,"She smiled. I took a deep breath. Oh, Lilith. I nodded. " I will talk. I need to gather more strength" and she nodded. I went quiet as I tried to collect my thoughts. My eyes watered. "I miss the times we spent together...I mean Amelia" Lilith's eyes went wide. " I mean the good times. She was the only person I Interacted with for months" Lilith stared at me longer before she nodded. "Do you understand?" She nod
I ran to and fro, from the corridor to outside where I slept. My bags and clothes were outside. I had to get them to a dry place. But the more I tried to shove the boxes out of the rain, the heavier the rain fell. At some point, droplets of rain felt like huge boulders that hit my back. I felt the pain of each drop, and it hit my back. Leg, head, face. Thunder clapped, and the lightning illuminated the place. I flinched and left every bag I was carrying and ran to the corridor. To the little shelter it could provide. I sat on the ground, and my teeth chattered. I grabbed a cloth and draped it around me. It was when I saw the material that tears began to pour from my eyes. It was a shawl given to me by Lilith in prison If only she was here. ******************************************** “Your Highness!” Someone tapped me, and I woke up. “Yes,” my eyes were wide open as I tried to take in all that was going on around me. “Anna?” she was a close friend of Amelia “Yes” her face had
I jerked awake with such a force. I was panting like I had climbed a wheel. My eyes were wide as I tried to understand what was happening. Where am I? The last thing I remembered was almost drowning. The water was in my throat, eyes, and belly. I had drunk enough and I was full. I was splashing water everywhere, and I screamed for help, but while I struggled, no one came to my rescue. It was while I was screaming that I woke up. I bent my head like a dying flower and wept. Wept so hard. What have I done to deserve this sort of life? Who did I offend? Who were my parents? Maybe if my mum had aborted me, I wouldn’t have to go through all this? It was while I was crying that I remembered what had happened earlier. I was sleeping and heard that noise. I looked down to see myself bound by hands and feet like an animal. Knox! Yes. It must be him. I raised my head, whipping my head around, and then I stopped and squinted. There was a figure at the curtain. I didn’t know what it was.
2 weeks later If I had known that walking in the outside world was this brutal, maybe I might not have run away. Firstly, I hid around wearing shawls and all, but even when I found out the alpha was not back, I decided to relax. 2 days later, after sleeping in a shed, a shop owner recommended a job at a cleaning company. And I got it. But then there was a problem. 2 weeks in, the young boss, Alex wanted me to date him. Of course, I said no, but he had a coconut head. He kept chasing me. Staring at me all the time and bringing people's attention to me. I had no option but to try to avoid him. I thought Knox was cocky until I met Alex. One day a general meeting for all staff was going on. While the others listened, I was running around, craning my neck and praying I didn’t get caught. When Alex was called out to speak, I began to sweat profusely. My heart pounded furiously. I was scared that everyone in the room could hear how loud it was. I took in mouthfuls of air as
" 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
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
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
“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
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
