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
I felt someone kick my leg and I immediately looked down. It was that young guard. He leaned into my ear. “Sir, someone wants to see you,,” he said. I nodded and stood up but not without giving that girl from the other time a look. I was not going to ignore the fact I found her attractive but then there was something else. I just couldn’t put my hands on it. There was a pull. She was the only distraction I had after rejecting that offer from Alpha Amandla. I still feel lost not seeing him. I wonder how he was doing. My little boy. Lucas. It killed me being away from him not to talk of never seeing him again. Well, I had all the time in here to find that out. I was called into the chief executioner’s office like the last time. “Wow, it’s a crowd in here,” I smiled. The alpha, Sean, Amandla, and the chief executioner were in. “Sir” he bowed to me. I tilted my head to the side. What was this now? Alpha Knox smiled. “The chief executioner here did a very good job last time” th
I was no child. I needed no telling that people were talking about it. Everywhere I went, there were eyes sure to follow. It didn’t bother me at all. Like I would care what the prison wolves thought about me but I wasn’t just going to sit down and let my good name be tarnished. Hedge turned out to be more resourceful than I thought. After that night, he went on doing things that always made my jaw drop. I tried to get him to stop but he pressed on. Because of how loyal he was, his men also began to be loyal to me. They tried to get me comfortable in the prison. I was like a mini alpha in the prison. Hedge made it easier for me to go to certain places. He was once the king of the prison. It was like he passed his title to me. I was informed of everything. Even to the ones I didn’t want to hear. So when we got to the joint gender cafeteria, he quickly told me the reason people were staring at me. “ Boss everyone now knows you had passed up on the offer of being an alpha by mar
The ugly rumor about Vok made me so angry that I wanted to fight the people talking. One day, I was ranting to Lake under the tree; we usually rest when her face went blank. “… I don’t get why people are so fixated on him; he has a kid, and so what? If he leaves, who would take care of that child?” I scowled, I wrinkled my eyebrow; that was weird; Lake had not said a word to me. She kept staring at me with wide eyes. “What? Are you okay? Is there anything wrong with your eyes?” She kept doing it and I almost got angry. “Tell me what it is then? Come on” Someone cleared his voice behind me. I turned around and froze. Then I turned around again to Lake. “Was that why?” She nodded. She swallowed. “Lili I think I need to leave” “Hey—“ “Ssshh” she smiled and ran away. I shut my eyes. Oh no. “Lilith” came that deep voice. “That’s me” Look at me” he said I slowly turned around, and there I was, met the beauty. Damn! He was way better up front. “How long have
Taking one last look at myself in the mirror, I smiled, liking what I saw in the mirror. Today was another manual labor and I couldn’t wait to see Lilith. Since the last time we saw each other, I hadn’t stopped thinking about our kiss. Oh the things I planned to do to her. I heard a knock on the gate, and I instantly looked up with a smile,, but that was quickly wiped off. “Sean?” he smiled. “What are you doing here?” he went to open the gate. “I thought you had left with Alpha Amandla” he shook his head. “Not yet” he smiled. “I have to do this before I leave” “Huh?” “Come on, we have to leave before it is too late.” he pulled me along, and we briskly got out of the prison amidst all the shouts from the people. When we walked past the chief executioner’s office, I knew it had nothing to do with the alpha. Then we passed the visitation, I knew he didn’t bring Lucas to come visit. I dragged him and he stopped. “Come in, bro; we have passed the visitation area; wher
I didn't need to be told, I knew the alpha had killed someone. Or many people. Judging from the weeping I heard down the maid quarters, I know doom has come. Most of the maids were daughters to elders. I still found it hard to believe they people will knowingly put your child through hardship just for an opportunity to the throne. Yes, the maids had an opportunity. Their status can quickly change from maid to Luna in waiting if the alpha happens to sleep with them, and it could be better if they bear him a child. An heir to the throne. Werewolves can be elitist. Half of the time they don't like to marry or mate with people of a lower class. They abuse the weak amongst themselves. That is why the alpha and Omega system is what is used in picking a mate. But then alpha Knox is not one to wander around with maids. If he was to do something outrageous like that, it would be two things. 1. He was drunk two 2. He has something up his sleeve. So I heard from Amelia. It was during
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
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
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
