So that’s it?

It was with a mix of anxiety and anger that I took in the information. Vok wanted to see me. What for now? Was he going to come with his fiancée or what?

Why in the world would he want to see me after what he had done to Lilith? As I made my way out of my cell, I prepared in my head a bucketful of words that were not only going to hurt Vok, but I’d leave him tossing and turning on the bed. The only thing I couldn’t do was smack him right in the face.

Leaving Lilith just like that was enough, but I understand none of that was his fault, but why would he want to make that worse?

But no matter how evil and rotten and wicked I had arranged my words for Vok, nothing at all prepared me for what I would see in the visitation room. Seeing Vok in visitation was clear proof that something was wrong.

Then, when I walked in to see his hands laced together with Amelia’s, I lost all my speech abilities. If I had the power, I would immediately turn my head around and run, but I couldn’t.

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Dreams

    It was the summer before I was declared the heir alpha of winter fell. Everyone was around me like flies would do to poop I hated it. And I matter how I tried to tell him that I wasn’t comfortable with the way people looked at me, he always said one quote. I think it sounded like uneasy lies in the head that wears the crown. He said I was chosen to lead, and there were no buts. I grudgingly agreed. So, one weekend, Dad sent me on a mission outside the pack to capture an enemy oak. I was scared as hell, but the last thing I would ever do was complain. Mom didn’t ever want to listen. So I went with the pack army for a surprise attack. Dad didn’t want to send me but he had to. The elders were beginning to grumble. He just bowed to pressure. “Listen up, guys, we camp here for the night!” Stan, my beta in training, commanded, and my cousin said... We had been marching since dawn. The road to the Night Howlers pack wasn’t this far, but because we were attacking them unannounced

    I raised an eyebrow. “What did you say?” I growled. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “She’s in the prison, your highness,” Vok said and looked away. “How did she get there?” I snapped. “The elders made the decision; I couldn’t do anything,” he said. “They needed someone responsible for that incident and no matter how I tried to make them see that Nina was innocent, that morning, nobody listened to me. “Which elder was spearheading this?” “Elder Abram” I gritted my teeth. That old man has bitten more than he can chew. My nose flared; well, he had a point. Those elders can make one go loco. I pitied Vok fir a moment. He was more of a swordsman. He knew absolutely nothing about alpha politics. So that was why I cut him some slack. “I hope she has not been harmed.” Vok shook his head. “Not a hair on her head.” “Good” “Go and call the elders, we are going to sit” “Now?” “Yes,” came my sharp answer. I wasn’t going to let Nina spend another night in prison. My

    “So, your Highness, you let her poison you to catch her?” Brandon asked. I nodded smiling. “Exactly” I could already imagine Amelia handing Nina something to drink. She poisons it, but she knows it can’t kill Nina because she puts the antidote in the mouth of the juice. The small portion could not affect Nina, but it couldn’t heal me. So when I fed from Nina, I got the poison, but the dose count healed me. She was smart. I have to say, she really is. “Wow, that’s brave,,” Brandon said. I clapped my hands. “So Vok what’s your idea to catch Amelia?” Vok leaned away from the chair. “Your Highness. You are probably the only one who hasn’t heard yet.” he glanced at Sean and Brandon, who wouldn’t look me in the eye. “What Vok?” I stared at the three. “I don’t like the way, all of you are looking away” Vok sighed. “Your Highness Amelia knows you are a hybrid” “Yes, she does” Yes, she has seen me feed. “She told me that if I didn’t want her to talk, I had to mark and ma

    A NIGHT BEFORE, The gate to my cell cried open and I instantly sprang up. I didn’t sleep all night and day. I was waiting for them to come carry me. I was waiting for death but none of that happened until now. If I was correct tomorrow was Vok’s wedding. I just didn’t know how to feel about all that. I was worried about my fate. I stared at the door. Five women wardens were staring at me. “What? “ I snapped. “What do you want? “My heart raced. What were they planning to do to me? One of them walked to me. “You this church rat. You have always made me hate my job” “Me too,” another said. “So? What has that got to do with me?” They exchanged looks. “She still dares to talk? She is going to die anyway. Bring me the whip” the one still standing behind said. I recognized her from the morning Lilith wanted to see me. Her name tag said her name was Jenny. I began to back away. “Don’t you dare touch me! “ They glared at me.” shut up!” they chorused. So they tried to ga

    “No, stop that,” the guard holding me said to the pervert who was staring at me. “What? What did I do?" “You will not touch her. She’s from the alpha he said." The pervert rolled his eyes and walked away. I glanced at the guard holding me. Should I be grateful or what? I just didn’t even know how to feel. The guard was not ready to take me in, he still wanted to keep talking with his friends. They laughed. “Who knows how many times she slept with him to prove that she was good enough” “Yes that pressure” I was disgusted by their jokes but what could I do? I was bound to my hands and feet. “Serves her right” they laughed at my pain. The gate to the dungeon grumbled open and immediately, the guards shoved me in and slammed the door shut. “Your death will save us a lot of work,” one sneered, and they laughed while they walked off. I landed on the hard floor. My shin throbbed and I could feel some liquid on my leg. I shut my eyes. Waiting to bleed out. Time pass

    I was drowning in pain, and my eyes threatened to close, but I wouldn't. I couldn't. Knox had ordered me. I looked away from the bloodied Amelia to his face. His eyes burned with a fire. One I know that would not be quenched if blood did not flow. I sighed, and every time my brain threatened a shit down, I tried to remind myself of that order. So I focused on myself. On my pain. Every breath was like sharp needles poking through my ribs, the remnants of the beating I endured in the dark, stinking prison below. I thought I'd die in there. I really thought so. I tried to move my legs, but I couldn't My limbs felt like dead weight, bruises blooming beneath my torn dress. But none of that mattered now. I was no longer alone in the filth, no longer shackled in silence. I was in his arms. Knox was the last person I expected to see. I thought he was dead. I mourned him. The few times he was calm with me were my best times with him. His scent was a wild cedar and the crisp bi

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Grieving

    For the next 3 weeks, I was confined in the royal infirmary. The royal healer said that the wounds I had sustained in the prisons were not ordinary. He said they were injected. And so needed to be treated. The alpha wanted me to move back into his bedroom but the doctor said he risked being infected. What the doctor didn't know was that he couldn't be infected. Very few knew he was a hybrid, immune to a lot of things. So he let me stay in the royal infirmary. He asked his guards never to leave my side. So I was under their eyes 247. Despite all that, I didn't feel any better emotionally. It was in the first week of my stay that the alpha executed all the elders who were involved. The female wardens and males in charge of the torture were stabbed countlessly with a hot knife. Then for Amelia, I heard she died the most painful death. He took two weeks to kill her. I remember seeing a nurse attend to her amputated leg that night. Well the next day, he ordered that the other o

    All through that night I didn’t sleep a wink. I kept dreaming about seeing Lilith and having a fun time with her. When I woke up the next morning, I didn’t need anyone to tell me that I had been given false hope. Because when I woke up, I found out the Infirmary was moving me to the palace. Back to the alpha’s room. “wait!” I screamed as they tried to lift me off the bed. The nurses stopped, looking at me. “ tell me again, who authorized this discharge? Is the doctor aware? Is the alpha aware?’ one of the nurses turned to me. She gave me this long stare and I regretted asking that last question. It was like she was asking me, why I wanted to play dumb. Didn’t I know who Knox was again? “Obviously, it’s the alpha," one of them said. “Lift her to the wheelchair, don’t let her keep us while she keeps asking us stupid questions,,” the nurse who had stared at me said. I narrowed my eyes at her. “Watch the way you talk to me,” I replied sharply. She turned, facing me. With

    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 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

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    An accusation

    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
