Under attack?

2023-05-18 21:04:11"Hey, Mommy's princess, your food is ready." Lorna said in a mocking voice while unlocking the doors to the prison.
Rays of the golden sun poured into the prison through a small window as she walked in followed by Lily. A small smile twitched on Zoey's pale figure when she saw Lily.
"Eat while you still can." Lorna dropped the food tray she brought for Zoey with a thud, splashing some of the content on the table.
"Lorna." Zoey reached for Lily's hand on the table but she yanked her hands away.
"Don't you dare touch me you traitor." Lorna eyed her with distaste and moved away.
"You didn't have to do that." Lily chided Lorna.
"I can act as I like. Who knows I might be six feet below by dusk." Lorna pranced out of the room.
"Hey, don't mind her nasty behavior. She'll come around soon." Lily pulled Zoey into her arms and comforted her.
After a brief second, they pulled away and Zoey wiped the dry tears on her cheeks. Lily patted her slowly while waiting for her to speak.
"What about Mother? When will she come for me?" Zoey questioned in a low voice.
Her mother had not come to visit her nor had she sent her books to read and it hurt her to see her mother ignore her.
"I really do not know but she summoned us for a meeting tonight." Lily revealed.
"I need to go now." She stood up from the bench.
Zoey gulped hard. Although the dungeon wasn't the best place to be, she wasn't affected by it. All that was on her mind was Zachary. This was the second day and he still had not fulfilled his last words to her. Was he safe?
She pulled the tray towards herself and started eating. She needed enough strength for Zachary. When she finished eating, she moved back on the bed and allowed sleep to take over after all there was nothing else to do.

"Zoey?" A gentle voice called her name and she turned towards the direction of the voice.
"Zach?" She whispered in disbelief when she realized who had called her name.
It was Zachary. Happiness coursed through her and A wide grin spread on her face as she erupted into laughter. She rushed out of bed almost immediately as if she was scared it wasn't real. Her dream had finally come through and her mother would release her soon when she realized her mistake.
"I knew you'd come. I just knew it! Have you met my Mom? She's extremely angry with me because I freed you all but now that you've come back for me, we'll solve everything amicably, everything would be alright." She cheered excitedly, trying to reach her lover but he seemed far, he was far from reach despite being so close to her.
Her brows arched in a frown and the excitement slowly died down when she couldn't reach him. With each step she took, he seemed so far.
A sullen expression grimaced her face. Unable to hold back the question, she voiced out "Why are you so far Zach?" She asked, her voice almost a whisper.
It was at this moment that she noticed the stone-like expression on his face, his face was hard and angry. Everything about him seemed so wrong.
His left hand curved around her right hand and he tightened it until Zoey gasped in pain.
Pain coursed through her chest in waves, like a tsunami sweeping across the land, threatening to destroy all she held dear. The pain was unbearable, but she refused to cry out. She didn’t want to attract attention, not when it would only serve to make matters worse.
Moreover, she did not know if he had seen her mother or not. A sinister smile twitched on Zach's face immediately causing goosebumps to arise on her skin.
"You must be a big fool to think that I am here to save you! Wake up from your slumber, your nightmare just started." His eyes narrowed into slits as she tried to free herself from him but it seemed futile.
"Zach… please." Tears streamed down her cheeks.
She wondered what was going on and why he was acting strange. This was not her Zach.
Her vision blurred and all she could see was the darkness embracing her despite the hard resistance she had.
"Zoey!!!" She felt someone shake her vigorously.
"Wake up Zoey. What's wrong!?" The worried etched voice asked and her eyes flew open.
"Zach! Please save me. Please." She pleaded trying to get up but the hand held her down tight.
"Will you stop this now? There's no time. Wake up!" The familiar voice warned her.
Her eyes flicked open almost immediately and darkness welcomed her. She sat up on the bed while scanning the dark room in total confusion. A few minutes ago she had just seen Zach but where was he and why was Lily in her room in the middle of the night?
Was it a dream? If it was a dream, why did it feel so real and why could she sense that Zach was around? A myriad of emotions flowed through her. She was confused. Bewildered. Anxious. Scared.
She wiped her face with her hand while suppressing a yawn.
"Zoey!" Lily shook her once more. There was no time.
"Yes, Lily. Is everything okay? What are you doing here and where's Zach?" She questioned.
"That's not important right now because we have a problem." Lily said in a panicky voice.
Squinting her eyes at Lily, Zoey shook off the dregs of sleep from her eyes and sat up on the bed. Lily was serious.
"What is it?" Zoey asked.
"We are under attack." Lily revealed.
"What!?" Zoey gasped.
Zoey's heart began to race and questions sprouted in her mind, followed by confusion and fear. Zachary had promised to come back and she knew deep within that he was going to come. Has he finally come?

Zoey roved her eyes around the exit to the dungeon as she tightened her grip on the iron bars. Her heartbeats thumped so hard she could hear them. She inched her ears closer so she could pick up the slightest sound but it was all in vain. The exit was as quiet as the graveyard. Letting out a frustrated groan, she cursed inwardly and repeated the same action. It was the same.The dungeon was so far beneath the coven. It was made to prevent the groans of prisoners from disturbing their peace. Never had she imagined that she would grace it someday."Hello!" She screamed as loud as she could, straining her vocal cords but her voice bounced back reminding her that she was all in the dungeon alone."Anyone there?" Zoey shook the iron bars with every strength she could summon but no one replied to her. This wasn't looking good. Lily hadn't come back for over thirty minutes and with each passing second, a pang of deep fear hit her. What if something happened to them?They had powers and mag

Suppressing a low gasp, Zoey's hands flew to her mouth and her eyes widened in shock. She couldn't stop it, a small cry of dismay escaped through her trembling lips as she felt tears stinging at the corners of her eyes. "Zach, why? Why are you doing this to us?" She moaned. "I told you, Zoey! I warned you." Her mother muttered behind her. Approaching them in evident anger, Zach flung his sheath to a corner, ignoring Zoey's questions as he was ready to take them captive. Goosebumps arose on Zoey's skin as deep fear filled her up to the brim. The intensity of his hateful gaze felt like a knife twisting her guts. Someone wake me up from this dream. Her heart pounded so fast she thought it would leap out of her chest any moment now, and all she could do was stare in shock as the man who vowed to love her now regarded her with dark eyes that burned with hatred and malice. Zoey’s stomach roiled in revulsion. The man before her was nothing more than a monster and his very presence ma

Anger reeled in her body, and she began to advance backward slowly but the men advanced towards her, giving her a lustful look that made her blood boil. She doesn't know how to explain it but the thought of men disgusts her, at the moment she wishes to slay all those men that had killed some of the witches. She steps back slowly till her back hits the wall, the men kept advancing until the first one that spoke raised his hand to halt all movements. "If you come near me, I swear to the goddess I serve, you'll regret it." She swore venomously, her breath becoming heavy and unsteady.The men looked at each other and another peel of laughter escaped their mouths. The one in the front began to advance towards her, covering a few inches.Zoey didn't move, she stayed there, her back seemingly glued to the wall... She waited for him to come to her, eyes burning with fury. "You're such a spitfire, let's see how good you are." He muttered, his voice husky and filled with hatred. He grabbed

The jaded feelings that rushed through Zoey's being when she heard his voice was inexplicable. The pain that crushed every cell in her body when she laid eyes on the monster that destroyed her family is greater than the physical pain her body is feeling. Lucifer's claw stopped right on her breast swell when he heard his Alpha's order. Confusion spread across his face and he began to wonder why the Alpha would ask him to stop. He wants to kill her and the urge to give her a miserable death was high in him. "Drop her." Another sharp order came from him and Lucifer dropped him despite the look of confusion laden on his face. Zoey whined in pain as her body made rough contact with the hard floor, she cussed angrily when she noticed one of her breasts was barely covered. She was quick to repair her torn cloth while still cussing Lucifer. Zachary observed the scene before him and the anger he didn't wish to feel overcame him, when he saw her in pain, his body boiled to such an extent th

Zoey was dragged roughly by one of the warriors from the dungeon after their alpha declared that she can live. The stench of blood welcomed her immediately she was outside the dungeon. Along with the sunrise, dead bodies welcomed her. She suddenly felt nauseated due to the cruel way the witches were killed. Most of the dead bodies were either missing one part of their body or almost all their body parts were ripped away. The warrior dragging her fling her outside like she weighed nothing, she hit the floor with a thud, a painful cry erupted from her mouth and the warriors began to laugh at her. Tears fell from her eyes, the pain and guilt tearing through her heart was something she can not contain in so letting them out as tears was the best thing she could do. She's not crying because of the physical pains being inflicted on her, her cries were due to the horrible and scary sight right in front of her. More tears streamed down her eyes when reality hit her. She's responsible for

"Let her dress up and eat, we have a long way ahead of us. As for now, follow me, we need to bury the men we lost." Zach grumbled and began to move but Lucifer's question brought him to a stop. "What if she runs away?"A low chuckle escaped him and it amused everyone. "She won't go very far in those legs of hers, and besides she has no one where to go, she'd been ousted by her own people. They didn't take her along, that explains why she's still in the dungeon... Alone." He replied, emphasizing on his last words and quickly made his way out, his men were quick to follow him. Zoey stared at them and new tears began to form in her eyes, she knew she'd been abandoned but hearing it from him was something that's so painful that she couldn't comprehend or control the tightening painful sensation that formed in her chest. The pain was so powerful that it brought tears to her eyes, a huge lump formed in her throat and she began to shiver again, goosebumps covering her whole body. She dr

"Alpha?" A voice called his name to break the trance he was lost in. Zoey had gotten his whole attention that he got lost while looking into her eyes. His fingers itched to wand her wet hair and had he not heard his name, nothing would have stopped him. He looks at the dead body that gave her shock and discovered that it was one of the witches he'd killed, the particular one decaying on the floor was a surprise for him because he'd killed her immediately after she killed Lucien in their last attack, how she was still alive was something that baffled him but he doesn't care... He doesn't care if he has to kill her a thousand times. He shook the effect off immediately and turned towards the voice, "Yes?""We're ready to move." He announced.He looked towards Zoey whose expression was blank, "Let's go."He ordered, taking some steps away from her. "I need to get my bag." She muttered and hurried away before he could say anything. He wanted to stop her but he couldn't, he needs to get

Chapter twenty-eight: Tempting Zoey... "Mom, I told you, I'm well. Can I go to bed now, please?" Zach asked his mother who was keenly observing him. Zach's eyes trail to that of his mother's and a low sigh escaped his lips when their eyes locked. He was a t a loss for what to say or do. "Honey, I don't want you to think that I'm snooping into your life. Even if I'm doing that, it's for your best, you're my son and I have every right to be worried about you." She explained calmly and a smile graced Zach's face. He looked relieved now He doesn't know what or how to make his mother believe that he's well, those stupid pack members have ways of spreading rumors, it spreads faster than a communicable disease. He doesn't know what to do when it comes to their gossip, it was becoming annoying but there's nothing much he can do about it. That's a natural talent the goddess had bestowed upon them.

Zoey's eyes were fixed on Zachary's room as she cleaned the floor, it was her turn to scour the whole house pack tonight and she must testify that it's one of her best yet worst jobs in the pack. It was best because she gets to clean the whole place during the night when there'll be few people stepping on the place she'd already cleaned and worse because she won't be sleeping early.After the incident this morning, gossip was following her everywhere she went. It astonished her that they thought she'd charmed their alpha. Like seriously? Had she charmed him, she wouldn't be a servant here. Had she used magic on him, she would have made him pay dearly for ever messing with her and her people.They had such a great misconception about her and she couldn't help but find it funny because whatever they were thinking was wrong, totally erroneous. She would never have been here right now had she not done something stupid as trusting a man! She'd have

The whole atmosphere became extremely apprehensive after everyone saw the alpha slap a warrior in the pack in front of the pack members all because of a servant, just because of a mere servant who wasn't even a wolf, the alpha had angrily slapped one of his best warriors because he'd misbehaved with her. The servants in the pack are like prostitutes and many wolves take them for pleasure without their authorization. There has never been a case where a servant would reject the advances of any privileged werewolf to lay with her, such servants that got such advances become happy because there are always advantages that come along with having intimacy with high-ranking wolves, any servant considers herself lucky if any high ranking wolves look their ways. But here is Zoey, she's not even a werewolf, she's a core enemy of the pack, her family had killed many in the pack and the Alpha favored her by making her a servant and she's still putting her
Alpha Zachary's Ordained Mate Enraged
Chapter twenty-four: Enraged. The slap echoed in the room, her breath uneven, anger ripping every part of her body apart. How dare he!? She might be a servant here but that doesn't make her a prostitute like the rest of the servants. "You bitch! How dare you!?" The man that got slapped cussed and made to grab her but she dodged and went to the other side of the room.She immediately changed her mind about dodging him because he can speed up and strangle her to death with the way he was staring at her now. She was about to rush out of the room when she felt something hit her leg and she fell to the floor, a scream escaping from her mouth. Zach's head turned towards the direction he heard a scream, he wasn't the only one that heard it, everyone in the cafeteria heard it as well but only he knew that the voice belonged to Zoey. He stood up from his table, his beta stood up too wondering what was up with Zach. As much as he wanted to ignore the voice and pretend that nothing was hap
Alpha Zachary's Ordained Mate Indirect protection
Chapter twenty-four: Indirect Protection.The pack's cafeteria was huge and beautiful. Zach might be an asshole but he takes care of his people and his people love, fear, and respect him. Zoey took in a deep breath as she made her way into the cafeteria, she was in charge of cleaning the whole darn cafeteria today and she knew the pack members in the cafeteria would make her day miserable by creating unnecessary mess in the cafeteria. Immediately she steps into the cafeteria, hateful glances are shot towards her, if looks could kill, the ones they've been given her would kill her within seconds. She made her way to the cleaning room to grab the cleaning equipment and set to work. It has been two weeks ever since she started working as a servant in the pack and those two weeks were hell on earth for her, even her fellow servants despised her, she'd made a few friends but they only talk to her secretly for fear of incurring the wrath of pack members and fellow servants. Zoey tried t
Alpha Zachary's Ordained Mate Her fate
Chapter twenty-three: Her Fate. Zoey was halted in the middle of the ball, all eyes were on her, most depicted hatred while some showed a hint of admiration and then hatred when they realized who she was. She looked up despite trying hard not to and their eyes locked, she eyed him warily. This was a frightening man; she trusted him at her own peril. Best to keep silent and wait for his justice. She immediately looked down, trying hard to control her heartbeat, they are werewolves, she shouldn't allow them to smell her fear of the unknown and uncertainty in her destiny. She must wait patiently and see what blow destiny had to offer her this time around. She was aware, all the while, that Zach and everyone watched her. His face was dark with hidden thoughts, a brooding intensity that made her uneasy. What was it about him that always makes her uneasy? Shook his thoughts out of her head. Brace yourself Zoey and stop being a chicken. She cautioned herself and she felt herself relaxe
Alpha Zachary's Ordained Mate What's her fate
Chapter twenty-two: What's Her Fate? Zoey ignored most of the pack members staring at her in disgust, she was used to their looks of mockery and hatred ever since she came into the pack, the pack healers refused to heal her a few days ago when she was brought for treatment. People used to give him disdainful looks but they never do it much in the open because there was one person within their midst that loved her and that was Anastasia, she'd always been there for her to shower her with love and care but here in this pack, not a single soul liked or pitied her. They looked like they wanted to kill her at any slightest opportunity they have but they could not because their alpha hasn't decided her fate. Most hauled abuses and curses at her, they wish her the most painful death and destruction... She ignored most of the curses because they do not and can not have any effects on her, she did nothing to them nor does she wish them harm. When she doesn't have any ill wishes against the
Alpha Zachary's Ordained Mate She needs to stay
"That's not the only reason I'm keeping her here." He announced and everyone turned to give him their full attention. "She needs to stay here because I need her." He added and that only heightened the confusion of everyone present. Why would the Alpha need a petite witch like Zoey? A deep murmur began between the elders and Zach looked at them with a satisfied grin on his face, he loves it when he causes some confusion among them. Create a riddle their wise brain can't solve, he's the only one who could clear their misunderstanding. Just him. Lucifer looked at the alpha, he cocked his eyebrow when he saw the smirk on his face, he was enjoying the confusion he'd caused. Now he understands why his father called him a demon incarnate. "Enough!" A loud order came from him and everyone in the hall went silent, heads turned to look at him. "Why do you all keep arguing amongst each other? I'm the one you all need to ask but you all are asking each other." He s
