Chapter: ~93 SHADOWED PURSUITDorian Grimaldi.The day of my placement as Alpha king had finally arrived, and the atmosphere in the pack house crackled with anticipation. The halls were teeming with werewolves, their energy palpable as they hurriedly prepared for the momentous coronation. I could sense the eyes of my pack members upon me, their expectations weighing heavily on my shoulders.Lost in my thoughts, I stood in the midst of the bustling crowd when Gustavo, my steadfast beta, approached me with a grave expression. He handed me a letter, and as I perused its contents, my initial disbelief gave way to a steely resolve. The Mendalv clan, our once dependable allies, had chosen to sever their ties with the werewolf community, leaving us vulnerable and without a safety net.I read through the details of the letter, my face a mask of indifference, though inside, a storm brewed. Gustavo's voice held a tinge of urgency as he stressed the gravity of the situation, emphasizing the absence of a backup plan should th

Janelle was hell bent on not getting any complaint from the head chef Bella. Because she was also trouble.The excruciating pain she felt when Dante the Capo's son hit her, was still vivid in her imagination. She expected far worst, confused and in pain, she was quite taken aback when he walked in, he looked extremely upset and asked her to get out. Trembling she ran out. She had been praying silently not to get involved in any scandal after that. Also the aim of avoiding the Capo's son.“Janelle.”Immediately she heard Bella's voice, she hid abruptly. If there was another person she had to avoid, it was Bella the head chef, who kept sending her into the lion's den.“Bella is looking for you?” Came Rosa, one of the slaves Janelle had known for the longest time.

Chapter: ~2 EXCRUCIATINGJanelle took another deep breath as she bent to prepare the traditional oven made with woods and the rest. The capo liked his baked meals to be prepared with such an oven because he claims that it allows it to be well cooked. Pain shot up her spine and she groaned at the intensity of it. She never knew staying over in Dante’s apartment till it was past the headcount would put her in deep trouble with the head guard. He was pained because she always had a way to escape him and now, he caught her in 4K. The rules were simple, if a maid is found missing during the headcount, she should be whipped 180 strokes but the only difference was that she was whipped 300 all over her back and waist. He shook her head gently to clear the tears forming in them before she burnt her hand or something. She didn’t blame Dante for keeping her awake all night that she forgot about the headcount, she blamed her parents for not choosing to be born in any other place except this part of the world, they could

Chapter: ~1 KITTENJanelle walked away hurriedly as she made her way to the kitchen closet. Tonight was going to be a night of agony and she didn’t want to be a part of it. If you lived in a world like hers, you'd know how hard it is to survive as a lowlife. The guards will visit their cells tonight and rape them mercilessly, then they would leave when it’s almost daybreak. Leaving them in pain and still forcing them to work hard in the morning. Janelle didn’t want that for herself especially while working under the princess. Very rude woman. She grew up here and she knew all the corners and shortcuts in this palace more than anyone else, perks of having your parents pass on slavery to you. God knows that one thing she’d never do in this life was giving birth to any child here as a low life. They were suffering already, why add an innocent kid?. The ones that make her laugh are two slaves falling in love here and going ahead to get married. She wondered how they coped by doing that. She blamed her paren
