What? What was happening? How could this be? Who could have been hurt? I looked him over as I tried to ascertain wherever he may be hurt. “Your highness what happened. Come—” “ Did you for a moment think that I was crying?” He smirked.I froze. Those weren't tears? Oh this cocky bastard. Knox released my hands and wiped his eyes clean. I watched his long fingers swipe at all. Parts of his face. When he looked at me again, my heart raced. He stared into my eyes and moved closer, thereby closing the gap between us. What was he doing? My heart pounded. Knox went ahead to put on the light behind and I flinched as soon as the light came on. “There's your sunlight,” he muttered . “ Don't open the curtains” I quickly nodded. “ Congratulations on getting into my room but not my life …mate” Knox said emphasis on the last word. He stared at me and I evaded his gaze. Looking everywhere but at his face. “You are nervous,” Knox leaned in. I fought keeping my focus on something. Anyth
I looked into his eyes as my neck hurt. His eyes were clouded with need. I could feel his erection on my skin. My chest rising and fall. What does this mean? Was he going to bed me? I thought he found me disgusting. But then I couldn't and shouldn't resist. Gently, he led me to the bed. I prepared myself mentally for a forceful push to the bed. The forceful sex known of Alpha's. I shut my eyes waiting. But it never came. As if finding me irresistible, he began undressing me, one slow and seductive movement after another, his dark eyes boring into mine as he did so. It was a challenge, but not nearly as daunting as my fear of what would happen when this evening came to an end. My hands trembled as they touched him. His taut muscles. His smooth skin. His hands on me were so warm and reassuring. I couldn’t help it. His mouth brushed over my neck and my whole body shivered with delight. I didn't believe Alpha Knox could make me quake and feel shy just from kissing me. If the
The steam from the hot bowl rolls out like a dancing lady, twisting her hips from side to side. I hissed as the cloth made contact with my skin. It was very hot. “I’m sorry your highness,” Amelia said. I slowly nodded. She dabbed the cloth around my neck quickly. When I looked at the water, I sighed. It’s all bloody. Not as thick as blood but clearly red. My eyes scanned the room. My nightgown is lying on the floor. My panties are thrown on the bed. There’s also blood on the bed. A proof of my innocence. Finally, the deed had been done. As a breeder, I stayed up nights filled with horror. Nights my master would talk of defiling me, but they never did. Lilith was quite the opposite. She fantasized about how beautiful that night would be. She said she knew it would be a sweet and memorable day. I often laughed at her. A breeder never dreamt of beautiful sweet nights with her master. Because half of the time, it was filled with brute force and cries. While mine was a sort of bitt
I sat still staring at the letter and the snowball. My head was in chaos. I really wanted to see the snow. It’s been awhile since I went out. Life in this room feels like it was squeezing my air flow. It was tempting and I wanted to see for myself. That night my eyes were as wide as that of an owl. I was awake when Alpha Knox came in. Deep in thought I didn’t hear him stand in front of where I lay on the floor. “Hey” he said. “Hey” he said again. My heart skipped.I immediately shut my eyes. He sighed. I know you are awake, you can’t fool me” he said and walked to the bed. “You can sleep on the bed, the night is cold.” I still went. On the bed? He might want some sex and then he would bite me. Nah I’ll pass. I was still going through my thoughts when he suddenly walked out of the room. When I could hear nothing but my thundering heartbeat, I knew I was alone. I quietly stood up and went to the door. I listened and could hear nothing. He was really gone. A big smile formed on my
“Let me go! Put me down!” I kicked and pushed. The men shoved me out of the car and we began to walk. It was a short walk before we got to the house. Panic rose in my throat. I couldn’t believe it. I had been kidnapped from my father’s house. My father was not just anybody. He was the Alpha. The Alpha of the blood sea Pack. “Let me go or else Heads would roll, my father would make sure of that!” I said in clenched teeth. That did not move them one bit. They got to a room and opened it. The carefulness they took in putting me on the bed, made me raise an eyebrow. It meant only one thing. I needed to be alive. They closed the door and immediately I sprang up like one that had been bitten by an ant. “Let me out! Somebody help” I Banged on the door like a mentally deranged woman but it was of no use. No one came to the door because when I stopped all I could hear was radio silence. I kept trying the door but it wouldn’t budge. Then I turned around and my breath caught in my throat. It
I walked the length of the garden inched over my thoughts. The wind blue with mild gentleness thereby making the leaves move around in circles. It was a windy, cold , quiet morning but there was nothing quiet about it. My mind was in turmoil. Countless messengers and witches I have sent to my son either came back in corpses or were buried alive. With the emergence of his mate, I thought I had hit the jackpot. I swallowed my pride and sought the help of an old friend who always mocked me. Priscilla was an old witch of the high order. They were strong and invisible. Unlike the new witches; Vain, flashy and loyal. Loyal to my son. To get a locating spell for my son and his mate, I had to starve for days. It wasn't funny because every day she appeared with a pack of blood. It took everything in me not to reap her apart and feed. Priscilla used the remaining Bond I had with my son to locate him. “Found him” she smiled as she moved the stone around making some incantation. I rushe
“Don’t touch her until you are sure she left the palace” Madam Lafayette's words rang a bell in my head as I sat in my office. How dare she leave? But then watching her kneel in my room made me sort of sad. I wanted to tell her stand but I changed my mind. What was this slave doing to me? Making me all soft. Even when I recalled the night we were intimate, I always caught myself smiling. I didn’t want to sleep with her yet but witches said it was important to merge us. With a drop my blood they were able to track who was trying to get Nina. They told me they had killed. It was an old witch of a high order. When I asked who had sent her, they said they were working on it. I gave the guards warning not to let Nina leave the palace or else heads would roll. If not for this business meeting, I would have stayed back. “Vok!” I growled. “Your highness” he came running into my office. “Any news on the Alpha Damian’s deal” He nodded. “your highness, he changed his mind last
I began to drive. I needed to go to a place where I would calm down and laugh or something that does not have to do with work or Stephen. Then I picked up my phone again and dad trends number but it wasn’t connecting. I didn’t know why so I called Kyle instead. He picked almost immediately. Kyle was the human turned vampire friend I had. He lived in the pack as a werewolf but no one knew he was a vampire. When we were younger we would sneak off and head to hospitals, to feed. More like steal though. “Hey bro” he said. “Hey K, where are you?” I asked as I waited for some school children to pass. “I’m at work, I’m about leaving” he said. I could play some rustling of papers. Kyle has always been a workaholic so I wasn’t surprised that he was at work. “Okay, have you seen Trent?” I asked. A distant friend of ours “Yeah, he came by my office– I could hear the clicking of the door–oh here he is “Kyle said. “Can you pass the phone to that knuckle head” I said. I wait as the pho
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
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
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.
