Saved by the Ruthless Alpha
It was a perilous time when the fittest survived. Alphas were usurped and Packs were overthrown by the powerful.
Vera was thrown into a conspiracy when her father, the beta of the Shifters Pack, was accused of treason. Her parents were killed and she was labelled a traitor's daughter. Everyone turned their backs against her. Her mate, the Alpha heir, rejected her and she was banished from the pack.
Resolute to prove her parents' innocence, she escaped from her killers only to fall into the hands of a ruthless Alpha, Alpha Joash.
She soon realized that he was her second chance mate but he was oblivious to it. In her state, she couldn't voice it out. Still at his mercy, she realized that all that she had believed were lies. She needed to save herself, prove herself and unknot her twisted fate.

Chapter: No one is HereJoashSilas tried to mind-link me several times but I shut him out of my mind. I didn't want to speak with him. He put my mate in the lion's mouth and wanted me to speak with him, no way!My men and I were done and it was time to leave. The one who was costumed to look like me sat confidently on the horse like he was winning an award. He was wearing my robe and his face was well covered. His frame on the horse looked just like mine. The resemblance forced a bitter smile on my lips."What is your name?" I asked him as I walked towards the horse. "Yobe Yasmine," the man responded tightly."Yobe…" I called but became speechless. I could feel my heart in my mouth… my heart was pounding fast. I had conquered lands and packs but I wasn't immune to this. It was the first for me. No one has ever willfully died in my place."I can't protect you… but from this day on, your people have become my people," I said in a whisper. He heard and nodded. He drew his right fists to his chest. I did the s

Chapter: Poison VeraThe walk was as long as I had expected. It was just like the way it was when I was brought down there.I was wary of Blake. I was not just following him blindly, I was alert. But after following him for a while, I simmered down."He won't try any trick now. He knows that you will overpower him easily." "Viola!" I yelled. It's been a long time since my wolf spoke up. She whimpered wearily inside of me and went quiet again. The recent turn of events must have been overwhelming for her.Suddenly, Blake came to a halt. I also halted and clenched my fists as I waited for him. He turned around slowly and looked at me, his eyes were filled with hatred and disdain."We should go our separate ways from here. Follow the next turn on your left, it will lead you to a familiar path… We will meet again," he said with a chilling voice.I was about to speak up when two men jumped out of nowhere. I froze and thought they were aiming for me but I wasn't their target. They fell in front of Blake

Chapter: A Lucky DayVera I was very close, so close to the shrubs- a precise long jump would take me out of the grass less terrain. But I was already out of breath. My heart was beating fast and my strength was no more.I couldn't dare to look back anymore, the sound was so close. I knew if I continued to linger in the open, I would be caught.With the last ounce of strength in me, I lifted myself up and pushed myself forward. It was my last try but I didn't make it. Instead of stumbling into the grass, I landed just by the side.Without looking back, I felt the arrival of the horde. They were still at a distance but I was sure that they would be able to see me since that had emerged. The hair on the back of my head stood up and I choked up. Fear gripped my heart and I couldn't look behind me. I swayed to the right and to the left as I tried to maintain my balance and surge forward. I just needed a few steps to get out of the way but my legs suddenly felt heavy. They were so heavy and I couldn't lift t

Chapter: Vera is mineVera Blake rose to his feet and swayed here and there. I couldn't tell if he saw me or not but as he rose up, he began to limp in my direction. This was my chance, he was broken and I could kill him now. If I killed him, I would be helping my mate who had vowed to kill him and at the same time, I would be disrupting whatever Prince Silas had in mind for keeping him alive. But he was once my mate… Even if I had rejected him and our connection had been severed, I still couldn't kill him. No, I can't do it.Seeing my timidity, I jumped ahead and went my way. One thing was sure, I must not be caught by him.The sound of the on coming armies was getting closer. I lifted my head and took a long look into the wild. My heart skipped a beat as my wolf eyes caught some sparks of dust from a distance. I felt light headed as I looked in front of me. The armies were closing up on me, and not only that, I seemed to be running in their direction. Quickly, I changed direction, my destination was th

Chapter: A Change of PlayVeraBlood trickled down my wrist as the guard dragged me on. This can't be happening. Am I really escaping from here? I must be dreaming.The guard stopped in front of the door, pushed the door open and threw me out like I was an unwanted piece of garbage.I didn't resist him as my strength was non-existent compared to his. He flung me out and I landed on the ground with a great fall. With my eyes shut, I remained sprawled on the floor and groaned in pain. It felt like all the bones in my body were broken. Heavy breath escaped my lips and I shuddered and continued to breathe until my breath became stable. Slowly, I shook the dirt from my body and began to rise up. Cold and thick darkness had descended into the night and I was in the middle of nowhere.I staggered off the ground with my eyes seeing stars. When my vision cleared out, I turned around in circles as I looked here and there. I didn't know where I was and nothing looked familiar. The only familiarity was the disguised ent

Chapter: We Die Together JoashThere on my seat, I watched Derrick and others return. I could tell that the hunting went well as their hands were not empty. Each one of them had games in their hands and hanging over their shoulders.At the same time, those who went to get water returned. They had some crooked jars with them and I could tell that they were filled with water."Yay!!!" The men making fire shouted as they sighted them. They all teamed up and got ready to debowel the meat.As I watched them jubilate, my heart sank. In my head, I could hear the hooves of my father's army lurching towards us. I should send them away, I can't beat my father with the number of men with me. If I was the only one, I could play hide and seek with my father just like I did in my early days. I should send them away. Vera… she came to my mind and I gritted. The fact that she was in the palace made me giddy. That bastard! Silas! What the heck is he up to? If Vers falls into the hands of my father, Silas will pay with his li

Chapter: Chapter 117Logan's POVI didn't mourn Jennifer's death but a deep sense of sadness fell over me. Perhaps, she meant something to me after all. Memories of the time we spent together as children flooded my mind every day, leaving me sick and sad.Her delusion and greed were her doom. Yes, we were playmates and we were friends because her father was my father's Beta. But that was all. I never saw her as a lover and I never made such inclinations towards her. Thinking back now, I realized that there were signs that she had fallen for me, she did not hide it, but I was too busy and insensitive to take notice.I was always away from the Packhouse and when I returned, I hardly saw her.Flashes of the moment she walked into the cave where Renae saved me, posing as my savior flooded my sight. I shut my eyes as I remembered how I tried to love her despite having feelings for the small doctor.Sometimes we determine our fate and sometimes what will be will be irrespective of our determination. It all de

Chapter: Chapter 116Logan's POVI lost communication with almost everyone as we sped back to the palace. I mind-linked my mother, Lian and Renae but they didn't respond. Tera, my guard didn't respond either. Fear gripped my heart and like a lunatic, I tore through the wild leaving my men behind.I broke into the palace and I saw the ruins. The first place on my mind was my mother's chambers. My men had caught up with me and they sprinted behind me.A small group of people came into view as I got closer to my mother's chambers. Drawing nearer, I realized that it was Jennifer and her men.I didn't know if she was just going in or if she was done with my family already. Her sword was bloody and I fretted.Hatred and disdain shone in her eyes as she saw me. She snarled and at the swipe of her hand, a few of her men charged into my mother's chambers while she led the remaining men towards us.Now, I had my answer, she sent her men in because she hadn't dealt with those inside. With renewed spirits, I gave

Chapter: Chapter 115Logan's POV At this point, I could only pray that things worked out as planned and nothing would boomerang on us. After hearing from Lian, I realized that my plan just failed woefully. I should have seen into Jennifer's mind. But who knew what the psychopath was planning? All my focus was on saving Renae and our pups. I should have known that Jennifer wouldn't just go all the way out to attack only Renae. Since I knew that she had a grander plan, I should have seen it happening. Well, I am out here and I can't be there either. I just have to trust my men. I was glad that I left Tera back at the palace. He wanted to come help me out here but I told him to stay back. "Tera, listen and listen carefully. The palace has been infiltrated…" I mind-linked him and told him the situation. I gave him the order to act as he deemed fit. When he told me that Alpha Noel was around, I felt at ease. I knew there wouldn't be any problem and I could concentrate on the deal before me out here. The

Chapter: Chapter 114Jennifer's POVI sat in my facade waiting for the best news ever. I pushed the small table in front of me out of the way and rose to my feet to make my declarations."Tonight, the cup of their sins is full and I, Jennifer Tower, will avenge the blood of my father and his men on the royal family of the Moonlight Pack. I will destroy the royal family and even in death, Logan will realize the anger of a woman deprived of her love!" Of course no one could see me and one one cared to listen but it was a matter of time, tonight! I sipped from the whiskey in my hand before pouring libation to the death. Those that were long gone and those who were surely going to die tonight.I resumed my seat, waiting for the news. Then Renae came to my heart. Oh! Poor Renae.I knew Renae was obedient and easy going but her virtues won't help her this time.She had later sent a letter to me telling me that she was leaving the pack with her pups just like I had ordered.Good! Good! Good! It was a nice move

Chapter: Chapter 113June's POVRenae had been sleeping all day long. If she hadn't resolved her issue with Alpha Logan I would have thought she was sleeping because of her anxiety.I was glad when she told me that she had told Logan about Jennifer's threat. I felt a huge lump fall off my neck. When Alpha Logan summoned me the previous day, I was too overwhelmed to talk. Moreover, I always like to respect Renae's opinion. Although in this case I knew that delay might be dangerous, I still waited for her and I was glad that she did the right thing.She told Logan and she even devised a means to outsmart Jennifer.Logan accepted her plans but felt it was too risky. He was all lovey dovey, saying he couldn't risk the life of his mate. After much thought he came up with another plan that seemed less risky.We were at the Queen mother's chambers with about three maids. All other maids were locked out and no one knew that we were there except those of us that were inside.We were all grounded at the Queen moth

Chapter: Chapter 112Lian's POV I was sitting in front of my chambers thinking about everything that had happened recently. Renae's return was indeed a blessing, but it had made Jennifer bring out her claws. I had decided to spend more time in my chambers than at Renae's or mother's chambers. My chambers gave me a better view of Jennifer's chambers. I had men who were watching over her, but I felt better spying on her too. I need a break tonight. I would go on my hunting trip. And I just have a feeling that it would be a big one. I was going to catch a big game. "Targon, prepare my full hunting gear, we are going to the hunting range tonight," I said to my guard. "You mean we? Am I going with you?" Targon asked. "Yes, tonight," "On it, my princess," Targon said and vanished out of sight. What a good boy he had been. I lay down on the sofa on my porch, trying to catch some sleep before the night fell. I had hardly closed my eyes when my guards announced. "Alpha Noel has arrived!" "Alpha Noel!? Oh
