Synopsis

“Are you here to save me?” I asked bitterly, thinking of the look in my father’s eyes as he tried to wring the life out of me. “Or are you just here to bring me gifts and false hope?”The stranger didn’t answer, but I could feel his presence as he approached. Still, I didn’t turn to face him, even when I felt a warm, gentle hand squeeze my shoulder.Abused. Neglected. Caged. That’s how Princess Ember, the daughter of the Alpha King of Allusia, has spent her young life. Sold like chattel to another Alpha in exchange for the promise of warriors for her father against an uprising, Ember’s life feels like it might be over. But a stranger comes to her in the night, her only refuge from the daily attacks from her father. Will he be her savior? Or will she just find herself in another gilded cage?An Alpha for the Stolen Princess is created by Claire Wilkins, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

Chapter 1 : The Hooded Stranger

*Ember*My stomach turned as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were the same striking shade of blue that they had always been, but now they were heavily rimmed with kohl and shadow. My strawberry blonde hair was piled on top of my head in an intricate series of braids, not falling in a smooth cascade down my back like I was used to.But the part that made me shudder was the dress, if I could even call it that. The sheer piece of white silk barely covered the swell of my breasts before it looped down to hug my hips, ending at the very tops of my thighs. Beneath, my feet were bare against the cold stone floor of the antechamber.“I am Ember Moonrise, sole daughter of Luther Moonrise, Alpha King of Silver Crescent. This is my duty,” I whispered to myself. I tried to make the words sound strong and confident, but the quiver in my voice didn’t quite go away.“You’re damn right, girl,” a voice boomed from behind me. I jumped and spun, my heart hammering in my chest. My

Chapter 2 : The Alpha of Grims

*Ember*Gentle morning light filtered in through the curtains, warming me. I smiled, thinking of the strange dream I’d had the night before – how a cloaked stranger had saved me from my violent father and seared me with an electric kiss.Thinking of my father never made me happy, but the rest was blissful. The warmth of the dream was shattered when I tried to roll over and had to bite back a scream of pain. My ribs felt like they were on fire, and my head was throbbing in time to my heartbeat. I opened my eyes, and my vision swam.That was no dream, I realized. It had really happened. Memories of the cruel Alphas came rushing back to me. My bare feet, danced bloody, stung beneath the sheets. Fresh tears prickled at my eyes, and I let them come.I only wiped them away when a maid entered. She took one look at me and gasped, confirming that I looked as bad as I felt. After a moment, she said, “The Alpha King requests your presence at breakfast.”I tried to nod, but the movemen

Chapter 3 : The Price of Dinner

*Ember*“Moon Goddess, please don’t let Lukas take me. Please let the stranger come in time,” I prayed under my breath. The maid who was helping me into my dress glanced at me quizzically. I blushed, not realizing that my words had been audible.“I was just wondering what we would have for dinner,” I muttered, and the maid nodded. I hoped she believed me. The last thing I needed was the maid chattering to her friends about a stranger whisking the Alpha King’s daughter away.“Done,” the maid said, straightening and bustling out of my room. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and grimaced. The dress, black this time, was just as bad as the one my father had forced me to wear the previous night. The silk clung to my thin frame, etching every bone and dimple in shadows. The bodice was almost painfully tight, constricting my breasts and pushing them up uncomfortably.The maid had done her best to cover the bruises on my face with makeup, but it only made the ugly black and purpl

Chapter 4 : The Midnight Meeting

*Ember*It was a testament to my exhaustion that I slept through the Grims’ departure from the castle. Later, one of the maids told me that it had taken the Alpha King himself to coax Lukas from his hiding place, and the Alpha had immediately gathered his entourage to leave, though he had promised to return in one week to retrieve me. As far as the maid knew, the intruder had disappeared without a trace.I had done my best not to smile at that part. I suspected that the intruder might have been wearing a hooded cloak, though I wasn’t about to tell that to the maid.I spent most of the day in a haze, gazing longingly out the window. Every movement outside of the castle pulled my attention, but the cause was always ordinary–warriors practicing in the courtyard below, birds hopping along the stone balustrades, a maid opening a window to air out a room. Even though I saw no sign of my hooded savior, I couldn’t help but feel that he was watching me, keeping me safe from a distance.As t

Chapter 5 : The Ivory Blade

*Ember*The rest of the week passed without any sign of the hooded stranger. There were no more roses, no parcels of food, no chocolates.I was still afraid of what would happen if Lukas came for me, but I was also angry. Maybe the hooded stranger really had been Lukas or one of those Alphas from the party. After all, it seemed like a cruel trick to play–shower me with food and flowers, toy with my heart, and give me a little glow of hope, only to disappear into the shadows without a trace.Luckily, one of the kinder maids had noticed the shift in my mood and had taken pity on me. The night before, she had smuggled me a book from the library. I didn’t get to read often, as my father had forbidden me from entering the library. Even so, I snuck into the room often, pilfering books and returning them before they were missed. Once I had a tome, I would tuck it beneath my mattress until I was done with it. If the maids had ever found my secret stash, they had never mentioned it to me, or

Chapter 6 : The Stranger's Kiss

*Ember* The Grim pack had only just arrived, but the party was already in full swing. Warriors laughed and talked with pretty females in colorful gowns. Goblets of ale and wine were passed around freely through the crowd, along with a variety of dishes popular with the packs from the north. I scanned the throng of people, but there was no sign of the hooded stranger. Was it possible that he was one of Lukas’ warriors, or even his Beta? I had never seen my savior’s face and realized with a sinking feeling that he could be right in front of me and I wouldn’t know unless he chose to reveal himself.As I walked deeper into the hall, I felt the others’ curious eyes on me. I did my best to ignore them as I approached the Alpha King, who was deep in conversation with a male that I guessed to be Lukas’ Beta.“Alpha King, your daughter has arrived,” the shifter said, nodding towards me.My father, with his back still turned to me, waved a dismissive hand. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she

Chapter 7 : In the Arms of My Savior

*Ember*“I want you,” I murmured again into the darkness as the hooded stranger slid the strap of my dress down my shoulder. His motions were agonizingly slow.Unable to hold back, I closed the distance between us and found his lips with my own, crushing myself against the strong breadth of his chest. A low chuckle rumbled from his throat at my impatience, and he deepened the kiss as his hands began to unlace the back of my dress.Cool night air licked the skin of my back as the dress fell open and began to slide down my arms, the front held up only by the closeness of our bodies as passion poured from our lips. The stranger slid a hand down between the fabric and my body, splaying his fingers at the small of my back and drawing me even closer to him. I moaned at the heat radiating from his palm.Excited by the noise, he dropped the hand lower and slid it under my ass, jerking me up quickly. Reflexively, I wrapped my legs around his hips and then gasped into our kiss as I felt his

Chapter 8 : : : : : The Rebel Plot

*Alec*A rumble of thunder peeled through the sky, followed by a forked flash of lightning against the horizon. I looked up briefly, adjusting the hood of my bloodied cloak against the onslaught of rain, before I steadied my gaze back towards the mouth of the harbor, which led across the river to the plains and the capital of the Silver Crescent beyond.Behind me, the village of Estoria lay dark and silent before the looming dawn. Soon, lights would come on in windows, and the fishermen would head to their boats, but for now, the streets were quiet save for the gentle creaking of the ships in the river as they pulled against their moorings.We had been biding our time for days now, but the end was in sight. I couldn’t wait to get back to the southwestern shores of the Whitelark territory. I was the Alpha, and the pack would be waiting for me to return. I hated being away from them for so long. I knew, however, that this mission was important for my people, and for me. Revenge did

Chapter 9 : : : : : The Sold Princess

*Ember*I hadn’t meant to fall asleep. The last thing I remembered was lying in the strong arms of the hooded stranger, wishing that I could see his face while I traced the outline of the scar on his broad back with my fingers. But now, I found myself sitting up suddenly as somebody pounded on the barricaded door to my room, and I realized that I must have dozed off in the night.The guards must finally have come for me, and the last thing I wanted was for them to see that I had spent a lustful night with a strange shifter. Panicked, I turned to the other side of the bed, only to find the rumpled sheets and nobody else in sight.“Where are you?” I whispered desperately, my eyes raking over the room. There wasn’t anywhere for him to hide, other than the bathroom.Moving as quickly as I could, I darted into the bathroom, but there was no sign of the stranger there, either.He had left, and he hadn’t taken me with him.“No, no, no,” I chanted, tears springing to my eyes.Beh

Chapter 10 : : : : : The Stolen Princess

*Ember*The world was in chaos.The side carriage had exploded into splinters of shrapnel, cutting my arms as I lifted them to protect my face. I opened my eyes in time to see the snapping jaws of a huge black wolf, its teeth razor sharp and its muzzle covered in blood.Beside me, Lukas let out a bloodcurdling scream of fear as the carriage lurched on its side. My hands tore away from the seat I was clutching as I slid down towards the far side of the vehicle, which was now pressed firmly against the ground, but it seemed safer than the jaws of the beast that waited for me above.I had to think fast. The whole carriage was made of wood, and the floor was far too thick to penetrate. The door on the side was pinned against the ground and utterly useless. The wolf was still snarling through the hole where the other door had been, which left only the roof.I banged my fists against the wood and was pleased to realize that it was far thinner than the planks of the floorboards.
