He went into one of the rooms and set me on the bed. I saw him from the corner of my eyes, pulling drawers open and mixing ointments together. I tried to stay conscious because I didn't know if I could trust this man.I sat up when he approached me, moving away from him like he was poisonous."Why did you save me?" I asked in a low voice.He didn't look up at me, mixing the concoction that was in his hands. "Well, you're welcome.""Let me apply this on you; it will help you heal up fast.""I'd have to take my gown off. I'm sorry, my Lord, but I can't."A part of me was sharing the grudge that Alpha held against him. I didn't know why, but if he was able to make the king angry enough to leave the palace without his entourage, then there must be something wrong with him.He raised one eyebrow at me."The King will heal me when he's back.""And how do you plan on telling him what happened?""I'll be fine, my Lord.""Well, just in case, you can take this with you," he said, placing the sma
The king immediately pulled me behind him, not letting go of my hand, "you have now completely lost your mind, what kind of a demand is that?"Fred broke out into a smirk, "I don't see what you mean brother, I mean it's just an omega, what do you mean by 'demand', I'm barely even giving you an… this is as good as not requesting for anything, I wouldn't think that you'd want to ponder over this.""You're asking for a whole person?""In exchange for the throne, and mind you, it's a servant at that, what's there to think about?""You can't take one of my people.""Not even in exchange for the throne?" He raised one eyebrow at the king. I could easily see the look of shock on the faces of those surrounding us, without even having to look at them."You can take any other servant you want," the king said, his voice concealed his emotions. I knew there was no reason for me to be happy about what was happening but Mel was almost wagging her tail to see how hard it was for the king to let go."
I could feel the pain from the mating bond, but at the same time I could feel the shock on everyone's faces.I held my neck, breathing hard. It felt like the world was collapsing in my presence.I was going to fall the ground when I fell into someone's arms."I'm right here." I heard his voice call to me, it felt like he was calling from a distance."Alpha…" I called, my voice was fading into the background. The world around me was blurring and his voice was echoing off.The murmurs, the connection to the pack as my wolf was becoming Luna was too much to bear, all of a sudden, everything around me was consumed by darkness.**I woke up with a slight headache, I sat up a little too fast and tried to get to my feet, I immediately regretted the decision because I lost my balance. I flinched in fear as a door came open. It was alpha."What are you doing? Lay back down." His voice was calm and his face was void of emotions. I looked around and realised the moon was up."What happened?"'W
Fred must have thought that I'd change my mind because he immediately yanked me forward, leading me out of the palace."We're not going to take the regular gates, the guards will definitely be stopping us," he said.I wondered what I was supposed to do.All of this was happening too fast. I hadn't even had time to experienve my bond with him.Fred helped me through a small exit I'd never seen before."This doesn't feel right," I said, " I don't even know where I'm headed.""You're here with me so don't worry about a thing I will make sure we get to our destination safely." I looked back over the fence as we hurried through the grassland. Tears streamed down my face. I didn't know what he was going to feel but it was best for him. It was clear he would choose me over his title any day.We kept walking through the night and it got to a certain point where I felt like my strength could no longer bear it.Fred didn't realise I was no longer going on behind him for a good minute.He looked
I got to my feet hastily, looking around in confusion, unsure of what to do or where to go.I looked at the window, trying to see if it was a possibility to jump out.I instead pressed my ear against the door to listen in on their conversation."What is this commotion?" I heard Fred say from one of the rooms. "Oh, I did not expect to have you here brother, after our little feud I thought you'd be glad I left?""Don't fucking play with me," I could hear the voice of alpha's wolf blended with his and I pressed my hands against my mouth, daring to look into the peephole. "My mate is dead and all of a sudden you disappear, yeah, shut the fuck up."He had a handful of Fred's shirt in his hand."I have no idea what you're talking about."It beat me how calmly Fred was speaking, his lies were almost believable."I'm not here for your petty games," alpha warned, "tell me where she is right now…""Or what?!" Fred finally tossed alpha's hands away from him. "What kind of a king are you? You leav
I slowly brought my eyes open. My ears still hurt, I sat up in pain and tried to figure out where I was. I was surrounded by nothing but stones.The only source of light was from twigs that were burning in the center of where I was. Looking at the exit, I realised this was a cave.Alpha crouched at the entrance, walking in with more twigs."You're up," he said, not bothering to look at me and focusing his attention on the fire and adding the new gathered twigs to it. He was shirtless, his hair packed up in a bun and his black pants hung against his skin.My eyes trailed up his back. He had scar marks all over him. My heart dropped. He must have hurt himself when he saved me.I was glad to know my hearing was back by now."You're hurt." I said in a low voice, he still paid no attention to me."Why did you come?" I said after a while of maintaining silence, "if you didn't, Fred wouldn't be dead now.""He's not dead," I could hear the anger in his voice."You killed him." I reminded him,
The next day we were up early and hit the road back to the palace. I internally groaned knowing that I had to do this all over again. Fred had been nice to carry me before but now it was obvious that things weren't going right for alpha and I and the last thing I wanted was to be a burden. After a few minutes of walking, alpha suddenly crouched on one knee in front of me. I stared blankly wondering what was going on. ”Hop on.” He ordered. I immediately shook my head fast, “no alpha I coul-“ “Hop on.” I wanted to argue but his voice was cold and I didn't want to further upset him. I put my arms around his neck and he got his feet holding me in a piggyback. This was going to be a long journey to the palace. * He only sent me down once we got close to the palace and I could see it in the distance. He had not complained once through the journey.I felt my heart sink at the fact that he didn't want anyone to see us together and even though this wanted, I did not want him to want t
As I was pulled into a corner, my fear was that I was about to be kidnapped for a second time. The relief that washed through my face when I saw that it was none other than beta Locks. I bowed my head at once, “beta, do you need me?” “I’m glad to see you’re back.” “You are?” I wondered. He nodded, “I wanted to talk to you but after what happened, I cannot be seen with you alone.” I was still at loss but I nodded. He suddenly tilted my neck and I widened my eyes, why was he acting like he wanted to mark me. I noticed he was inspecting for something. He sighed, causing me to put my hand over my neck, “is something on my neck? What's wrong?” “Listen, there’s a lot that’s going to go down sooner than later but I want you to not panic. You don’t know it but-“ he trailed off scratching the back of his neck nervously. “From tomorrow, I want you to meet me in the garden, I’m offering you personal training lessons, I don’t think you have any skills when it comes to defending y
