/-Raven-/

I sat in the garden, staring at the dark starless skies. The moon was nowhere to be found. Just plain cold darkness, like my sad miserable life.

All my life, I have been caged. Lived by the rules and did all I was told. I trained hard and sought Ampleton's approval in everything, and this is what I got.

I shut my eyes, fighting the tears that were stinging my eyes.

‘Have you seen her skin? As rough as a man's!’ Eric's words replayed in my head.

I lifted my arms and the palace lights flashed on it. He was right. There were scars all over it, but only one of them stood out.

I could still remember that day like it was yesterday. Eight-year-old me, frightened to the bones as he ordered me to jump.

Flashback

“Please don't kill me… I didn't do it, I swear,” I sobbed, trembling like a leaf before the huge men before me.

Their expressions were stern and cruel. Besides them stood the scowling woman, hands on her hips as she glared at me.

“You little shit! Are you calling me a li

    /-Raven-/“No! No! Let go of me you assholes! I'll fucking kill you!” I growled, struggling against them. Lisa knew how to play the cards. She knew a guard or two wouldn't be able to stop me so she brought five of them. We got outside the palace and they shoved me to the ground. A big mistake on their part. It would have been easier for them to do whatever they wanted if they had me in their grip. Now, they just fucked up. I stood slowly, clenching my fists as I took in all their movements. “What are you waiting for? Seize her!” Lisa yelled and they came closer. In one swift motion, I kicked the sand in their faces, momentarily blinding two of them. I lunged forward, elbowing one in the git and twisting another's arm behind his back.For a moment I felt a flash of satisfaction. I'd rather die than let those bastards strip me. “What are you morons doing? Hold her down!” Lisa yelled in panic as more guards scrambled to suppress me. “Don't go for her one at a time, you fools.

    /-Raven-/All I wanted to do was hit the bed and sleep away the pain, but Lisa was too eager to exercise her new rights. “Guess what, ladies? The Alpha has assigned us a new slave and you'd never guess who it is,” She grinned. Three pairs of eyes snapped to me. “No,” Othelia burst out. “No freaking way!” “Her?” Selene asked and Lisa broke into a grin. “Now, that is interesting,” Francesca drawled, crossing her arms. I walked past them, unwilling to engage them yet. The pain in my back needed urgent attention. I moved to my bed, or rather, Lisa's bed. “Where do you think you're going?” Lisa yanked me backwards by the arm. Pain shot through me. “If I'm not wrong, your ears were still working when Selene told you this was my bed. The Alpha didn't send any extras for you.” I peeled her hands off me, bending her fingers backwards so much that they hurt. The others stood, but I ignored them. “I had a really long day, Lisa and all I want to do now is sleep. Now, I don't want to cru

    Chapter 10/-RAVEN-/“You're messing with me, aren't you? There are no cameras in this house!” I stated and his lips pulled into a smirk. My confidence faltered. How was it that every step I took, the man already had something prepared to counter it?“If you're so confident, carry on then,” he said and proceeded to walk away. “You have so many enemies that you need to put cameras up at every turn you take?” I huffed. “Just one,” he threw me a grin. “You know what they say about the fury of a woman, little bird.”He winked and disappeared behind the doors. ‘Arrogant piece of shit!’ I seethed inwardly. My eyes scanned around the place but there was no sign of a camera, but how could I be sure it wasn't hidden?The asshole was full of surprises.I walked to one of the guards outside the palace.“The mistresses are trapped in their room, and no one can seem to open the door,” I informed them, and they followed me.Unfortunately, it was an iron door, so no one could break it down.

    /-DECLAN-/A few hours ago…“What are you doing here, Francesca?” My voice was foreign to my ears. My wolf was snarling in my mind, irritated by the choking mix of vanilla and milk. “I… I came to spend the night…” she mumbled shyly, a hint of blush rising on her cheeks as she avoided my eyes. “I also wanted to tell you something after…”While it was a wise choice to avoid my eyes, being in the same space with me was just as reckless. The full moon was going to be up in a few days and my wolf was already struggling for dominance. It was harder to keep him under control each second I was away from Raven. Something about the sweet intensity of her rose and patchouli scent kept him on a tether.Now, he was on the verge of driving me mad, which was inevitable, considering that the moon was just a few days away and this female didn't understand the concept of boundaries. She took sexy strides towards me but refrained from touching me. “I'm going to give you one last chance to leave, Fra

  • Dear Alpha, You Are Not My Type!   The plan

    /-Declan-/“Alpha…”The words snapped me out of my thoughts. I turned to the servant and she bowed immediately. “I came to inform you that Lady Francesca just passed out,” she informed. “Why are you here instead of getting the doctors?” I asked and she blinked away the shock. “I… the doctors were already attending to her,” she stuttered. “Why are you here then?” An exhausted sigh fell off my lips. “I'm sorry… I'll just leave,” she gulped and scurried off. I turned back to the bright blue sky, listening to Rolfe’s low growl. All the while she was there, he had been growling. It seemed like his bloodlust picked up every time I came across someone. I hated the idea of shutting him out but I had no choice. There was a meeting coming up later tonight and I didn't want him snarling at everyone he came across. Attacking the elders was something I couldn't afford. My hands fell on my wrists. An image flashed in my mind. “...let me go, I'll kill you all! I'll kill all of you!” I growl

    /-Raven-/Perfect!It was exactly what I needed. A chance to get all the answers to the questions in my head. And goddess help him, he didn't provide the answers I wanted to hear. I didn't know how to feel about killing Timultin. The man practically raised me, even though it was with an iron fist.A part of me still feared him. He knew my weaknesses and knew how to break me into submission. I wasn't sure I could bring myself to kill him, but Eric…I wanted to see the pain in his eyes while I slowly took the life of that little bride of his. I returned to the slave quarters, excited about the events that were going to unfold tonight.“What were you discussing with the Alpha?” I froze at the door. They didn't even let me come in before throwing questions at me. “And why do you have that stupid smile on your face?” Selene scowled at me. “You obviously have something up your sleeves don't you?” Othelia said suspiciously.I stepped inside the room, crossing my arms as an amused smile

  • Dear Alpha, You Are Not My Type!   Confrontation

    /-RAVEN-/As I approached the gates, I felt my nerves shoot up. I suddenly wasn't the confident Raven I was before Declan. Something about this place gave me cold feet. It triggered a lot of unwanted memories that were better off buried. Usually, I could contain them, but now, it felt like I was too weak to shoulder it all. The warriors at the gate recognized me immediately. “Commander!” They gasped, rushing to me as I struggled to keep my self up. “What happened?” They caught me before I fell. “IronClaw… they… they took me…” I said weakly and they hurriedly took me inside the pack.Even though I expected their reaction to be the same, I assumed Eric would have made provisions to keep me away from the palace and his new bride if I ever returned.Unless, he didn't expect me to. Hoped they would kill me. “We will inform the Alpha now,” one of the warriors said but I stopped him. “I would like to see the Alpha myself. It would be an insult to demand his presence for a mere slave,

    /-Declan-/Right after Raven left, my men began going through the tunnel. I couldn't shake off the feeling that Raven was tricking me again.“Alpha?” Tim called after climbing in. “Go ahead, I'll use the gate,” I told him and turned around to avoid further questions. I sniffed the air and Rolfe picked up a faint scent of two guards. I snuck to the entrance and spotted them leaving with Raven. A smile formed on my lips. Once again, her acting skills were quite impressive. I snuck through the gate and straightened up, taking another route immediately. I intended to follow Raven, to find out what she was up to. I stopped when she cornered a blonde woman, whom I immediately recognized as Eric's wife. My lips pressed in a frown. It couldn't seriously be what I was thinking, could it?I was very intent on following her when my men summoned me through the mind link. “Alpha, there has been a bit of a situation,” Tim said. “What is it?” I asked.“The opening leads to a dungeon and we ar

    /-Raven-/“Oops! Trouble in paradise?” I snorted, watching the heated glares pass from Declan to me. “I just wanted to tell you that you're a shit caregiver. My arm feels like I lifted a building.”Declan gave me a look and I threw him a sweet smile. I knew what I was doing, of course, and I enjoyed every bit of it. “What happened to your arm?” Hannah's deviation spun me. I didn't peg her as someone who cared if I was trapped in a burning building. “Well… a chandelier came crashing on me,” I told her. “I see you didn't die. Quite fortunate,” she drawled, a sinister look crossing her eyes. “or maybe you did it so you could get in his bed.”My mouth went agape. What kind of psychopath did she perceive me to be? Why would I set myself up for death just to get attention?“I'm sorry, what?” I sat up properly.“You heard me. You could have completely left the way if it was indeed crashing but you just had to let it injure you, huh? Just so Declan would take care of you,” Hannah spat. I

    /-Asiah-/“What news do you bring?” I asked.“He is Alpha Declan of the IronClaw pack, Your Highness. Breaking in is not an option for us,” Tarius, my commander said. “Lucky for, one of our own is already living amongst them. Not just anywhere, but in the palace.”That immediately caught my interest. “A dragon blood is within the walls of IronClaw?” I asked. “Yes, Your Highness. Although she is not a pure breed, she is one of us, nonetheless,” he answered. I frowned. “Hybrid?”“Yes.”My frown deepened further. “How do we know she is not working for them?”“After we discovered who he was, we sent spies into the pack at night to report everything to us. Information reaching us is that she stole the Luna Eclipse stone from Alpha Declan using the form of another,” he said. “I don't understand,” My impatience was overflowing with confusion. “Is she a shapeshifter? And how does this information benefit us?”“She is your majesty. It benefits us because she wants to be Luna and Raven's pr

    /-Raven-/“What happened to you?” Declan asked. It was weird and almost adorable to see that he came to me immediately he felt something was wrong. I wasn't sure if he was aware of the mark yet but his presence here brought me some form of comfort. “A chandelier crashed next to me. I guess it was aiming to hit me, but I just missed. Tough luck,” I smirked but he frowned.“Does this look like a joke to you? Have you seen your arm?” The seriousness in his tone was new. This had to be the first time since I met him that he was serious about something involving me. He picked the arm carefully as if it were a gem and examined the bandaged wound as he sat next to me. “The doctor said the cut was very deep and could get infected very easily if not carefully treated. I understand you are wolfless, but can you not at least heal?” He asked. His voice held nothing of the mockery I was used to when someone talked about me not having a wolf. If anything, it was genuinely concerned and my stu

    /-Raven-/“What if she's innocent?” I whispered to Francesca. “You're suggesting that the CCTV is lying?” She asked me with furrowed brows. Right, it didn't make sense when she put it like that. “I just have this nagging feeling that she is innocent. Did you see her eyes? I can boldly say that she had nothing to this,” I said. “You better not say it out loud before this people without evidence,” she whispered harshly. “let's leave it to the Elders and mind our business.” “I guess you're right,” I sighed. But if she was indeed innocent, it would be really sad. “What do you think they will do to her now?” “She is still denying it so they will probably torture the truth out of her. Either way, the truth will come out , whether she likes it or not,” Francesca shrugged.“Can we go back to the library now?” She asked. It was surprising how casual and unbothered she was about Othelia's arrest. They had been staying together long before I came here and even if they didn't like each oth

  • Dear Alpha, You Are Not My Type!   The Thief

    /-RAVEN-/Declan was furious. Furious enough to keep everyone under the heavy rain. The courtyard wasn't exactly large and the palace had a lot of workers. Luckily, Francesca and I managed to squeeze ourselves under the roof. “I am only going to ask this once and after that, there will be no form of mercy. If you have the royal emblem and the Luna's eclipse stone, kindly surrender them now,” Declan's voice cut through the rain. So this thief didn't just take the emblem but the eclipse stone as well? Whoever ever did it either had a death wish or was just plain stupid. For the next five minutes, no one said a word or even admitted to knowing who took it, which wasn't surprising. The men who stood beside Declan, who I suspected were the Elders, studied everyone present. They wanted to pick out the slightest shift in expression and body language from anyone. My gaze shifted to Hannah and Lisa who happened to be talking in hushed tones, glancing at me. “What are those two up to now

    /-Raven-/“Hey.” I looked up in surprise. “Mind if I join you?” She asked.“I don't own the chair,” I answered. Francesca smiled, taking a seat beside me. It was weird for her to suddenly talk to me, but again, she was only mistress who didn't go out of her way to make my life miserable. She was rude to me a few times, but she has mostly minded her business. “Are you still planning ways to escape?” She asked me and my lips curled.“Why would you assume that?” “You were sitting out here, lost in thoughts for several minutes. It's a clear sign you're up to no good,” Francesca answered with a small smile. “Subtle way of saying that you've been stalking me,” I noted. “I wouldn't call it stalking. I was just passing by and saw you. Thought you could use some company,” she said. “How remarkably generous,” my voice dripped with heavy sarcasm. “Cut the chase, what do you want?” “Nothing,” she answered. “I just told you the truth.” I nodded, deciding to let it slide. “You know I adm

    /-LISA-/“You never told me he was going to find Hannah,” I scolded Tim. “Because I had no idea, my love. I was just as surprised as you are when he suddenly returned home with her. We have been searching for years now and never got any positive results,” Tim said, reaching for my shoulder. I shoved his hand away. “So, just a few days with Raven, and he already found Hannah? It doesn't make any sense, Tim!” I could barely control the anger in my voice. All these years, I had managed to convince myself that she was dead in a ditch somewhere or at least, married with children. I didn't think she had any reason to want Declan after her family was killed before her. It gave me hope. I was almost convinced I was heading somewhere with Declan before that little witch showed up with her disgusting attitude. Now, Hannah was here as well. How was I supposed to deal with all this now? Especially when Hannah has always been my best friend.Tim wrapped his hands around me and I felt utterly

    /-DECLAN-/“You locked me away for days!” I growled. “Shut me out completely and leave me in the dark!”“I understand you're angry, but I'm certain with the news I have, that will barely be a problem to you,” he said, but I wasn't buying it. I was very furious with him and I was going to shut him out as well. Completely.Rolfe growled as soon as he realised my intentions. “Now is not the time to be angry, Declan. I found Hannah!” That immediately caught my attention. “What do you mean by you found Hannah?” I asked, perplexed.“She's right here in the palace with us,” Rolfe said. “I brought her home.” I wasn't going to believe him until I saw it myself. “She's in the slave quarters,” he informed me. I wanted to go see her, but at the same time, I didn't. I wasn't sure she would want to speak with me ever again after what happened to her. I didn't even know how Rolfe convinced her to come here. “I have everything under control, Declan. You only need to talk to her,” Rolfe assured

    /-Raven-/Returning to the IronClaw pack gave me chills. I still couldn't believe I had been stupid enough to take Rolfe at his word. Why exactly did I think he would just let me go?He wasn't any different from Declan, but he was the worst version. Hannah took a deep sniff of the air, and a sceptical expression settled on her face. “It's been so long since I last stepped foot here,” she breathed. “I didn't think I would ever come back.” “Neither did I,” Rolfe said beside her. “But I'm glad you did. It hasn't been the same without you.” “Me? A mere servant?” Hannah chuckled in disbelief. “Oh please. I bet no one even noticed my absence and half the staff don't even know my name.” Time approached us immediately with some guards. Surprise touched his features the minute he saw her. “You found her!” He exclaimed and Rolfe smiled. “More like she found me.” “I didn't find you. You came looking and somehow found me!” I couldn't help but notice that her tone was a little defensive.
