Maximus ordered the guards to lock me up in a room. I would have no food or water for the next few days. The next day, someone knocked on my door.

“Psst Nina”

“Nina” I turned around lazily. I had lost hope of it all. Just I saw someone echo looked like Marcus.

“Marcus?’’

“Yes it’s me. I will get you out of here this night. Just hang in there” he said and walked away. True to his words, he rescued me. We managed the escape the dungeon and we got into a restaurant in town.

“We will be safe here” he said. He ordered food and water for me. And I stayed there for a day. On the second day, I was beginning to wonder how to go back to the winter fell pack. I discussed with Marcus. Then I heard a loud bang. I looked up immediately.

Suddenly the door was yanked open and I screamed.

Immediately I jumped. My heart beat loudly, I was almost sure everyone could hear. What was happening?

Broad shoulders. Height as tall as a mountain. Fierce looking men clothed on guard clothes w

    I was taken into Maximus’s chambers. I tried to wriggle out of their grip but it was already useless. “Bring that whore here” he ordered. As soon as I got close to me, he slapped me two times and I fell to the floor. When I stood up I realized that my nose was bleeding. “You are becoming a thorn in my flesh and I will do away with you one day” he growled. This time Maximus grabbed me and shoved me to the corner of his room. There he tied me up to a chair in his room. For days I had no food or water. One morning before Maximus left for a meeting, he walked to my corner and stooped to my level. Immediately I shut my eyes tighter. “Open your eyes” he said. I ignored him. My eyes still closed. “I know you are not sleeping.” He said. “People who sleep do not have their eye lid shaking” Finally I couldn’t take it anymore. “What do you want?” I glared at him. “I knew you were awake” “Okay what difference does it make? You have me here tied up like a dog. Do you want to come and glo

    It's a beautiful day. I knew it the moment I woke up. Today is finally the celebration. My eyes glanced around the room. It was beautiful. For the past more week, since preparation has become more serious I began to see another side of Maximus. He wasn't exactly kind but a lot of things have changed. The ordered the guards and The maids to bring in a new bed in his room. Of course you must precious. I could live in it and not move around. And from then on I began to notice the way I was being treated. Like a person worthy of respect and love. Maximus was barely around and for that I hard the room all to myself. Within a few minutes, maids flooded my room. I was given a bath with that best oils and then I was out. I dressed up and sat for my make up. I barely noticed the maids bustling around me, adjusting my gown, pinning up my hair, dusting shimmer onto my skin. My mind was elsewhere until I felt something prick my skin. “Ouch!” “Sorry your highness” the maid pleaded. I nodde

    “What are you guys doing here?” I quizzer the maids. “Nothing your highness” they muttered. They couldn't look me in the eye. That was how I knew they were hiding something. “Speak up! Why are you here!” They exchanged glances between each other but still said no word. My blood began to boil. “If you don't talk, I'll tell the alpha that you tried Killin me” they gasped, shaking their heads. “Alright then talk” I ordered. One of them cleared her throat. She opened her mouth to speak but one of the maids stooped her. “Leave me! “ She eyed the girl. Then she looked up.’ you highness, it's the alpha. He asked that we come glam you up” “For what? I thought the celebration is over” She shook her head. “ I have no idea” I stared at them briefly and sighed. Maximus and not being clear these days. What did he want from me now. “ Okay ladies, you may all go” they looked frightened. “I know it's the alpha's orders but I'll look into it” I said. They nodded and left. I watched them lea

    One month earlier. “How would building a calf benefit us?” Abram barked. I glared at him. I was about to stand but I felt a hand on time mine. It was madam Lafayette. She stared at me and nodded. “Why are you against building a Calf?” She asked. I turned to Abram. “ Because it's stupid. “ He replied. “How would you do that when we have our women veong captured and held hostage by Maximus and Stephen!” For the past one hour I had tried convincing the elders of my pack to go with alpha Margo's plans. Her plan was beautiful. It was well thought and intelligent. Madam Lafayette was really convinced we would win the war. Everyone amongst the elders agreed to our plan except one man. Elder Abram. That man has become a thorn in my flesh and I wanted nothing hit to deal mercilessly with him. Madam Lafayette warned me before this meeting. She said I needed the approval of the other elders to get gold to build the calf. For once in my life I had to calm down. But with each word that cam

    I took in a deep breath. “Alright Now we are going to play a little game called, give the girl back to me. You keep the girl here and you move away immediately” I said in the calmest voice I could muster as I tried to hold my cool. “Oh look at that. He thinks that we are–“ he didn’t get to finish that statement when I swiftly broke his neck and shred him in two. “So who is next?” I said to the two. They came charging at me. I took care of them like the 1st, though it took me quite longer because he was the one with the gun. By the Time I was through, I was already bloodied up. I had a few bruises here and there, but I wasn’t the one lying on the ground dead. I picked up the girl, who had transitioned. She looked peaceful as she was. I checked her pulse and found out that she was still alive. I carried her on my back and went to my pack. I dropped her with the royal doctor. Marcel. He was an old friend of mine. Though I told him to keep it a secret bit I knew news like t

    While I threw my back in laughter, I didn't miss the looks from Margo, Amandla and Vok. Worry, annoyed and confused respectively. “What's so funny your highness?” madam Lafayette asked. I wiped a tear off my face. With a wave of my hand I smiled. “ Your face Madam Lafayette. It reminds me of a frowning child” The rest of the group sniggered and it made Madam Lafayette more pissed. “Okay I'm sorry if I confused any of you but sorry to disappoint you but I have no new mate” “You don't?” Margo asked and I shook my head. “But I do have some good news” I said with a smile. They all looked at me with questions in their eyes. “ I have found the solution to our problems” They stared at me like I was stupid.” The young girl in there is going to help us enter into that half moon pack.” “Is she part of them!” Margo’s eyes flew wide bd I nodded. Before I could say Jack. They were all in Marcel's house. They got acquainted with the girl and I told them how I found her. The little girl wa

    PRESENT I watched from my sister’s wide eyes to her trembling lips and the smile amdist tears on Nina’s face. Nina. When my eyes fell on her, I had a thousand and one questions to ask. She didn't bad. But she wasn't good either. Her skin was paler like a ghost. The make up didn't do much to hide it. Though she looked beautiful. She was skinnier and looked like she was sleep depraved. Then my eyes fell on him. Maximus He had this absolue look of hate and disgust on his face. He grabbed Nina's hand and smirked. “Let go!” She cried out, as she tried to wriggle away from him but he tightened the grip on her hands. I shut him a glare. “I think you have a death wish” I snarled. He chuckled. “ Oh yes I do, are you going to kill me?” Hr smirked. “I mean can you— he burst into laughter to our expense— why did you take you this long huh?” He basked in this arrogance that tempted me to snap his neck in two.

    “Stop being a wet blanket and have some fun!” Amandla half shouted into my ears as we got into the arena for the party. The speakers burst out with music, bottles were being exchanged. People laughed and joked. It was a merry moment. Knox had announced a bon fire that night. Everyone was in a celebratory mood. Obviously who wouldn't rejoice. I mean we had won the fight. Finally I was free at last. I often found myself staring at the entrance. It was were the severed heads of Maximus and Stephen had been displayed. It felt surreal. Finally this was over. One minute I was about to be raped, the next I am surrounded by people I know. People that would not hurt me. It didn't take long for me to make friends with Margo andAmandla. They were awesome girls. Brave and intelligent. “Come on” Margo beckoned on me. “Okay” I smiled. And walked briskly beside her. We joined some other girls in the bonfire. The atmosphere was beautiful. It reminded me of home but then I began to think. Do I

    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 Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Angry with her

    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
