All Chapters of Marked by the Alpha King: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Bile rose up her throat as Baka covered her mouth in disbelief. What was wrong with her? Having feelings for the Alpha king? Her people’s oppressor? Shame on her!How could she crave his touch? How could she feel the way she did when he was around? He was the enemy, for Pete’s sake! Even breathing the same air as him should be repulsive to her!Yet the feelings he had aroused within her was unmatched. And what he had just whispered to her… the nerve! How could he say such a crazy thing? She was his slave, he was her master. There was too great a power imbalance for him to even entertain such a notion.But she couldn't deny the pleasure that coursed through her. Bekon had said roughly the same thing to her and she had never felt as fired up as she did at this moment.It was abominable. It was unacceptable. It was unforgivable. Her dad and brother would be turning in their graves. She was no different from Odessa—a disgrace to all of humankind.She couldn't be around him anymore. But th

The market was not as busy at noon time as it was in the morning. There were few people and even fewer stalls were open. Baka hoped David’s stall was one of them. As she traipsed further into the market, she decided to take a shortcut. She noted the stalls as she passed them— Jerry, the potato seller, Aunty Haddy who sold avocado and banana, Michael, the pepper and garlic seller. David’s shop was right after Aunty Inola’s who sold cassava flakes and sugar. In all the opened stalls she passed, she noticed a considerable minimal amount of products. The decrease in food supply was beginning to have a serious dent. She briefly wondered how soon they would seek help from the other werewolf territories.As she took a left turn, an arm grabbed her with careful force and pulled her into a small corner. She almost yelped.“It’s me. It’s me. Don’t scream,” Bekon announced as he slowly removed his hands from her person. “I’m so glad I caught you.”Baka’s nostrils flared as she glared at him.

News of the attack on Yundum City had spread like wildfire in Khandom City and just as Baka had predicted, their werewolf oppressors tightened their leash.Curfew had been moved from 8pm to 6pm in the evening. Anyone seen outside after 6pm was locked up in the cells located under the city for questioning. If the guards believed them to have ill intent—which was almost always—they were killed. They were also randomly searched when running any errands, and no one was allowed into Kotu without Alpha Takoda’s express permission.This meant that Baka sometimes had to go days without seeing her mother or the girls. She had tried to reach out to Bekon but he had been giving her the cold shoulder since their argument the last time they met.The werewolves' hatred towards them had skyrocketed beyond comprehension. Baka heard more reports that some slaves owned by Alphas suspected of being part of the human rebel group were killed without question.Each day Baka heard news about her people’s se

Baka’s breath caught in her throat as she stared in utter disbelief at the broach. Surely, she was imagining it. She blinked twice, fully expecting the broach to disappear. But it was still there. “Whose bed does this belong to?” the Alpha king asked, making them turn around to face him.Aja and Emily looked at her with pity and lowered their heads. Did they truly believe she was the thief?Moments passed and no one said anything.“The Alpha king asked a question,” Takoda interjected with a deadly tone. Still, no one spoke. They all kept their heads lowered. Baka’s heart pounded so rapidly within her chest she thought she would explode. The girls were visibly shaking next to her, and she could hear Emily silently murmur what sounded like a prayer.“Very well, then,” Takoda continued with a cynical smile. “If no one speaks by the time I count to three, you will all die. One… two—”“It's mine, my lord,” Baka blurted out.“I knew it!” Mother Tina exclaimed, her bony arms lifted up in

The car was old, that was the first thing Baka noticed. It looked as though it hadn’t been used in decades. She wondered if the Alpha king had another vehicle because she was certain this one would prove to be an issue along the way.Not that she knew much about cars. Her brother had been the knowledgeable one. If he were here, he would've been talking non-stop about the model of the car, when it was created, who had created it, and other boring details she couldn't care less about.“She’s not a beauty, is she?” the Alpha king commented from behind her and she stiffened. She hadn't realized he had been standing there. Her breath caught in her throat and she almost took another step further away from him. “It hasn’t been used in over seven years, I think,” he continued, seemingly oblivious to her discomfort. After the whole debacle with the broach yesterday, he had returned a little past midnight. She had pretended to be asleep then.He had his own key and had walked into the room ve
