IThe king finally set me to my feet. After a long time of arguing, it felt like we had been walking for miles and miles. I completely lost my senses at one point, but I kept going because I was the one who insisted on coming here. We got to a cave, and it was huge. It was hidden in the mountains, and it could take all the warriors that were present. They only created a separate space for Alpha because he was the king and did not want to share all the space with everyone. He held my hand."What do you think you're doing?" he raised one eyebrow at me. "I'm going to settle in with everyone. I guess we all need to sleep before the big battle tomorrow." I shrugged at him. "Have you lost your mind?" He took me, pulling me closer to him. "Why would you sleep with all these men around? Come on, you're going to stay in the same cave as me.""But do you think that is disrespectful? I'm not your maid or anything. Everyone would get upset.""Nobody's getting upset, trust me. Everyone just w

A lash came on my back causing me lose my balance. I winced from the pain and hurriedly got to my feet."How many times have I asked you to wipe the floors clean?!" I heard our alpha bark at me. Faye was like no other alpha, she hated the omegas of our pack, the Coven pack, because her father, alpha Resh, died while protecting us. "I'm sorry Alpha," I said. I dared not cry, it would only worsen my situation.She wiped my back one more time with the whip. I held the pain in, "I better not return to this room and it's not prepared for the annual meet up of the ally packs.""Yes alpha," I said, bowing my head in automatic submission to her aura.Alpha Faye looked around the room with poison glared gaze before taking her exit.I immediately let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.'Kira, that was fucking scary,' my wolf, Mel called, 'sometimes I just want to tear at her and pull her down.'I rolled my eyes at her, 'she's the alpha, there's nothing you could do even if you wanted to.
Damian's pov"What kind of king does not have a mate?!" My mother banged my desk, forcing me to look up at her and away from my table.I slid my hand through my hair, "mum, I'm busy." I watched as she paced around, two of her personal guards waiting by my door. She was in a long overflowing robe that swept the floor as she walked."Damian, they're talking... They're all talking." She drew her eyebrows together in, "you turned thirty, still no mate."Above all things, I tried to keep my calm. "It does not matter, mum.""Damian, they're all plotting to overthrow you, and give it to that..." She scrunched her face in disgust, "that brother of yours." Throwing her hands over her head, she cried, "this is a disaster, you know how his mother is, first thing she'll do is throw us out of the pack house once her filthy son becomes king.""No one can overthrow the alpha king." I tried to retain my calmness."Oh I hear them, all the whispers," she leaned in to say in a low voice, "I hear, his ma
Kira's povI fluttered my eyes open and tried to take the surroundings in. My head hurt. The room was grand and huge, there were multiple paintings with rims of gold, a red rug with golden strings coming out of it. The bed was king sized. There were so many details to take in, I couldn't assimilate it at once.I looked down at myself and realized I was in a hoodie, twice my size and in the warmth of the fluffiest sheets. I swallowed hard, realizing I was completely naked underneath my hoodie. "This has to be a dream," I said in a panic, "or a hallucination." If Faye had caught me, she wouldn't be providing me with luxury.My eyes trailed to the giant floor to ceiling door across from me and I got to my feet. It had to lead out of here at least.I reached for the handle but jolted back in fear as the door came open. I froze in place, staring at the tall man, his hair in a loose bun, clad in a black shirt and shorts.At first, I was mesmerized by him. He had the most perfect face, it
KiraAs his guards dragged me along, I hoped he would at least turn to look at me once but nothing happened.I bowed my head, sadness filling my heart.I was still so hungry and my back still hurt from the way Faye had hit me. I had forgotten about it momentarily, caught up in the temporary luxury.'I'm sorry Mel, our mate doesn't want us. It's all because of me, I'm sorry you're stuck with a human like me.'I could feel her presence but Mel didn't respond, so she must have agreed with me.The prison cells each housed five women. They were at least ten cells parallel to each other.The men pushed me into the arm of the prison guard who led me to one of the cells, rough handedly tossing me in and locking it after.The five other women in here looked ragged and worse, hair torn out, patches of clothes on them. I could only wonder what they were locked up for. "She looks good to eat,” one of them chuckled. Seeing the look of shock on my face as I widened my eye, she rolled her eyes, “I
DamianBay couldn’t bear the torture as The guards took our mate out but I had to prove a point to Lucy.“Happy? Now leave me to work.”“You had me worried there for a second,” Lucy sighed in relief, “you need to thread more carefully, don’t Create room for gossip.”“Lucy, take your leave.”The only one who did not tremble under my orders was Lucy and I let her have her way. Instead of leaving she reached for my shoulder and smiled, “my sister will be back from her trip in two weeks, you’re going to mark her like we initially planned, exercise more patience.”I didn’t respond. I only took her hand off my shoulder and led her out of the room. She bowed her head, “I’ll see you soon your majesty.”As soon as she was gone I wanted to go after the guards. I wanted to kill them for laying their filthy hands on her. The way they’d gripped her by the arm, I found myself clenching my fists by my side. I needed a new distraction. I could feel my wolf threatening to take over. Unlike me he
I was barely done with my words when his door was swung open. We both turned our heads in the direction of the door. A woman in an overflowing robe walked in and her jaw dropped. The guards that accompanied her waited outside Damian’s room for her. She approached me and cupped my cheeks, turning my face side to side, “Oh my goddess, look at you!” she frowned and turned to Damian, “have you lost it? Look at the state she is in, all bones and tattered, have you no sense of responsibility?” “Mum, what do you think you are doing?” Damian finally spoke since she had come in.His mother? It explained why there was no aura of fear in her. She looked so hot, and young I would have thought she was his sister. She turned to the door and yelled on top of her voice, “Melanie?!” A woman in a green dress walked in hastily with her head bowed. “Melanie? Give her a proper change of clothes, feed her, and a take her to one of the nice rooms to sleep in.” I didn’t know why she was doing any of tha
