Semua Bab THE SLAVE WHO COULD TAME THE ALPHA: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Liana povWhat was that last night? I swear I could hear a voice in my head. But why has it completely disappeared? I feel like an empty barrel.Although this was the first time I had heard it, why did it ignite something in my soul? Like it suddenly made me whole? And why do I feel so empty now?Was it my conscience speaking to me? Or… was it my wolf? Impossible, your wolf won't just vanish like that.“Ana, did you take your medicine?” My mother's voice pulled me out of my trance. My fingers nervously played with the hem of my dress.“Yes, maa.”“Ana, look at me. You know how ruthless the alpha is; please lay low. Do not provoke him, and never look him in his eyes. I'll start working again and pay off our debts while…”“No.” I cut her off immediately while clasping my hands around hers.“I'll make sure to clear our debts, maa. Please don't try to overwork, you're already very weak,” I reasoned. A stray tear streamed down her face as she cupped mine.“Please be safe.” I nodded as I bi

Liana povI instantly looked away in horror. Oh no, I'm done for. I had one rule to follow, just one, and I failed miserably. Now I'm going to get beheaded for real.I blinked rapidly, trying to think straight. My chest suddenly felt tight, and it was almost as if the air had been sucked out of my body.How can I be so foolish?Mother warned me, Vane warned me. Yet I still went ahead and did it anyway.I always wanted to at least settle down and give Maa a grandchild to keep her company, but now I can't fulfil any of that. Because of my stupidity.My brows creased further. Why was the alpha quiet? He should have said something by now.Why is he not saying anything? It's not like he didn't see me, our eyes literally met.There's one thing that troubles me, though. Why was the alpha looking at me? Was it by chance?Well, obviously. Why would such a high and royal person be looking at a lowly person like me?It was probably by chance. I blinked, and they were already judging Stella's cas

Vance pov“Did your skin get fairer? You look so beautiful.” I whispered against Scarlet's neck as I nuzzled on it. She giggled softly as she leaned closer to me. “It's such a shame I'm betrothed to your brother. He doesn't even touch me. He treats me like a trophy doll, just cooped up in this big palace.” I sighed heavily as I moved slowly to sleep on my back with my hand supporting my head. “Easy on Ryker, he's just protecting you.”“Whatever you say, Vance. At least I have his strong brother, keeping my bed warm every night.” Her lips turned up into those naughty smiles she gave me whenever she was in the mood. “Can you believe what he did last night? I went to his chamber and even ordered wine for us. And he sent me out like I was some slave. He totally embarrassed me in front of that maid.”I blinked slowly as I listened to Scarlet. She always has something to talk about. And it's always about my brother. “Scarlet, I'll see you soon.” I got off the bed as I began to put on my

Liana povThe heavy silence in the room was suffocating. Lord Vance stood in the doorway, his broad shoulders blocking the morning sunlight and casting a long shadow over the cramped quarters.Casidy and her rats looked as though they might collapse through the floorboards. The colour had completely drained from Casidy’s face, leaving her pale skin looking almost translucent. Her knuckles were stark white around my small medicine bottle, her hands trembling so violently that the glass clicked against her fingernails.“I asked a question,” Lord Vance repeated, his tone dropping an octave. It wasn't a roar or an Alpha’s bellow, but it carried an authority that made the tiny room feel painfully small. “What is going on here?”“L...Lord Vance…” Casidy stammered, dropping into a frantic, clumsy curtsy that nearly made her lose her footing. “We… we were just…she was feeling unwell, My Lord! We were simply trying to help her!”“Help her?” Lord Vance took a single step into the room. His ga

Liana pov I opened my mouth to ask what on earth she meant, but before the words could leave my lips, the old woman released my wrist and melted back into the packed crowd. I tried to follow the flash of her ragged cloak, but she was already gone, swallowed up by the sea of cheering servants and guards.I rubbed my wrist where her cold fingers had gripped me. She must be out of her mind, I thought, trying to shake off the strange chill that had settled over my skin. A senile old woman who somehow wandered into the palace grounds. That had to be it. What else could I possibly be hiding? I was just a wolfless, useless maid.Shaking my head, I turned my attention back to the arena. The trials wrapped up shortly after, with Alpha Ryker raising his hand to dismiss the crowd. The crowd began to disperse, and I merged with the rest of the servants, heading back inside the cold stone walls of the palace to finish my remaining duties.By nightfall, my body was completely exhausted. I finis
