CHAPTER 1

last update Last Updated: 2020-12-31 01:57:20

There was silence in our living room as we sat thinking of what the morrow would bring.

The time for the annual tribute had come. Every year, fifteen halfbreeds from the South, East and West were sent to the capital in the North. This was done to show loyalty to the King of the Alphas.

Alpha King Alcius Thane.

Unbeatable in strength and Wisdom, he was basically a god. A direct descendant of the moon goddess. A Lycan.

Over a millennia ago, a while after he became Alpha, he annihilated the system of packs.

The packs at that time were over a thousand in number. Some of them were remote and their alpha's were tyrants.

The pack system caused oppression and poverty. So all packs were destroyed and the territory system came in.

Each territory was headed by a sub-alpha while betas were in charge of the sections.

Each territory had fifteen sections in total and a capital.

The sub-alpha, his family and advisors lived in the capital.

The betas oversaw the welfare of each section and reported to the sub-alpha who in turn reported to the king.

This system also applied to the north but they had no sub-alpha.

The betas of the north reported to the royal beta and then he reports to the king.

Every year, after the delivery of half-breeds, there was a ball for the sub-alphas and betas in the north.

          Alpha Alcius absolutely despised us.

He once declared that we should be killed but, werewolves and lycans began to find mates in half breeds. Killing them would take away potential mates and so the decree was reversed. We were to be used as slaves.

All halfbreeds at twenty and above were either sent to the territory capital or sent to the north. Of course a better faith awaited those who went to the territory capital even though we were maltreated there.

We were told at the central capital, we will be treated as scum by both werewolves and Lycans.

                                   ***

"Esme... You remember all you have been taught right?" I nodded

"You must ensure you follow all the rules and most importantly stay away from the alpha"

"I've heard you ma. Don't worry your head. I'll be absolutely good." I said dusting my skirts as I headed for the door.

I was from section 3. Our sub-alpha had selected from each section and as usual I was unlucky enough to be selected.

I was set to head out for the East capital along with my parents and the other girls from the other sections will also go there. We were to leave for the central capital in two days.

I trailed the familiar path to the stream. My comfort zone. Growing up I never had much friends. I was shy and Isolated myself most of the times. I fell ill quickly, took a special brew for my poor eyesight. I also bruised quickly and healed slower than a normal halfbreed. I was weak. Every time I was bullied by werewolves or halfbreeds, I came here to hide and cry. I wonder how I'm going to survive the north.

************************************************

          We left our borders by midday. The roads leading out of the east were bumpy and rough.

We were to reach the north in three days. I kept to myself most of the time and replied the girl beside me. Her name was Lily and she was from section 7.

  She  looked worse than I did......hair covering her face as she kept her head bowed at all times.

We made few bathroom stops and food was shared in the van but the drivers drove during the night. The other girls didn't talk much either. We all sat in silence like sacrificial lambs going to be slaughtered.....Of course.... we were lambs and the north was our place of sacrifice....

We reached the main borders of the north at dusk two days later. We were ushered into a small house.

We were given clothes to change into after taking a bath. There was one bathroom so we had to go in one at a time starting from the girl in section 1 till the girl in section 15.

There was an open space with beds were we lay down. That night I heard a few crying, I couldn't even cry. I felt numb. I prayed to the moon goddess that whatever may come, my parents would not loose another child. I was going to go home and see my parents again.

                                     ***

 In the morning after our bath, we were given a white dress. It was the official slave dress. We walked out in a single file into a van. The other girls from other territories were present. We were sixty girls in total. This van was to take us to the central capital where the king lived. The drive to the palace was smoother and the roads were levelled.

When we arrived at the palace, some people were waiting outside.

We were given dresses as we alighted. My dress was red and red was for cleaning. We were assigned to our bunks and given toiletries. There was a row call and we were given food. The matron instructed us to go to bed as soon as we were done because from the next day, sleeping would be a guilty pleasure. Tomorrow our duties will begin formally.

As I lay on my bed and turned, I kept thinking of my fate here. I prayed to the moon goddess to keep me safe and protect me from the wrath of the werewolves and Lycans alike.

I knew I could be clumsy and I wanted to go unnoticed as much as possible. I wanted to survive as long as I needed to and hopefully return to the East and be with my parents.

Maybe settle down with a man I love and have children. Live a simple life and work for my section. To do all this, I needed to survive first. And I was going to make sure I did.

    It has been two weeks since I began my duties and so far I've managed to avoid trouble. To be honest, the way the north was described was far from how it was. Through there were a few that spiteful towards us but we were treated as paid slaves. Today I was to clean the library in the south wing. The alphas wing. The matron said the king was not around this morning but if he came back while I was still up there, I was to make myself invisible until he left. I pulled my trolley up with me to the south wing. The place was quiet because no other person lived on this side of the palace. I unlocked the library doors and pulled the trolley inside. The library was so fucking large. Some of the shelves were so high a ladder was required to reach them. I decided to take one key out of the bunch of library keys. I could spend my free time here since it was rarely used. I began to clean and arrange the books that were

    Yesterday night was a disaster. The king was angry about something so his room was completely thrashed. I wasn't supposed to be here but there was a slight change in the cleaning table and of all days I happened to get the king's room today. I had to strip the bed, send the sheets to laundry, put new sheets and clear the floor. Men had come earlier to remove the heavier items the king had destroyed. I moved to the bathroom to clean and was distracted by the fancy bathroom the king had. As I was admiring the shower with my eyes and my hands, the shower began to spray me. Uh oh.. I didn't know where I had touched to put on the shower. I was a goner. The shower stopped suddenly and that was when I felt a presence behind me. I cleaned my face and looked up into eyes as black as the night. I was too busy looking at his eyes I didn't notice his hands had grabbed my upper arm. He pulled me out of the bathr

    I woke up to see Matilda, a blue dress leaning over me. I felt disoriented as I woke up. Everything was too bright, too loud and I felt energised. My ankle was completely healed and the bruises on my arm were gone too. I felt completely different. Must be the Lycan blood."The matron wants to see you""Me?""Yes. She is in the kitchen."I grabbed my red dress from where I left it to dry and donned it. I followed the blue dress out of our quarters and into the kitchen. The matron was issuing orders and checking the different meals that were prepared. She glanced in my direction and motioned for me to come forward. I walked to were she stood and she looked me up and down."I received orders abov

    He licked one more time and I winced and pushed his head away. "I'm sensitive" I sat up and blushed as I remembered how loud I had been. The whole castle must have probably heard me."They can't. This room is soundproof." Could he hear my thoughts? He nodded. He pulled me onto his laps and lowered me until my knees reached the marble floor. I reached for his slacks and unbuttoned. I reached into his briefs and pulled out his cock. I had never done this before but I heard a few girls talking about it. I gasped as I held it in my hands, it was hard and hot. The bulbous head looked purple and his tip glistened with pre cum I began to stroke my hands up and down his cock. I stroked from base to tip and squeezed the head gently. The sounds Thane was making encouraged me and I placed my lips around the head and began to suck.He grabbed my hair and pushed me down until he

    I woke up cranky the next morning. I didn't get enough sleep last night and my back ached from the way I slept. Untop of it all, I got my period today and my stomach cramped badly. I slept in a bit late this morning so I missed breakfast. I took cleaning supplies and headed to the king's room. I knocked and opened. A naked girl lay sprawled on the bed. Great. Now I was pissed. She got up and yawned as she picked her yellow dress from the floor. I thought the king hated half-breeds but here he was fucking all half-breeds within the perimeter.I smiled sweetly at her as she exited the room. I stripped the bedsheet with anger and tossed them on the floor. God I wanted to fucking break something. Preferably the king's head. He walked out of the bathroom with sweatpants that hung low on his hips. He sniffed and looked around. I turned away from him and continued cleaning. He strode to me and turned me around.

    I haven't seen Thane since he left the hospital. I've been attending to Jairus in his absence."Where is your father?""I'm not sure""How can you not be? Aren't you worried?"Not really. But you seem to be really worried" I scratched the back of my neck."I'm not. He nearly killed me. Remember?" Lies.. I was really bothered. Jairus chuckled.Jairus was different from his father. He was laid back, not so rude, at least not to me. And he smiled more. He was a whole lot nicer to me than his father ever was. Today, after I was through with cleaning the king's study and his room. I wanted to clean Jairus's room but he declined. He in

    I woke up on a bed, face down. Extreme pain travelled down my back as I tried to stand. A firm hand pushed me back gently. I was turned around gently until my back rested on the bed. I took in the unfamiliar room. Kyros loomed over me, a small bottle with red liquid in his hands and a gentle smile on his face. I smiled back at him.He lifted my head gently and poured the substance down my throat. It tasted bitter. As soon as I swallowed, an intense burning started from my stomach upwards to my throat. I clutched my stomach as pain erupted. I screamed loudly. Hands gripped me firmly as I doubled over and threw up. Thick blood poured out of my mouth. The hands holding me left me and I felt the prick of a needle. The pain diminished gradually until I lost sense of my surroundings.I woke up with a pounding head and a dry throat. Two men were talking.

    "Come in" Thane called out. Kyros stepped in. Jairus cleaned his mouth, giving me a smile and nodded at Kyros as he left."My king" he bowed his head in greeting."What do you want?""I came to seek your permission on behalf of Esme." he looked between us."Whatever for?""She wants to volunteer at the infirmary""No" my heart sank."My king...."Thane interrupted him "If that is all you may leave now." Kyros looked like he wanted to say more but he turned and left.I was fuming in anger. I angrily packed the dishes and stormed out of the room. My anger reduced before I entered the study again."Would you be needing anything your highness?" I prayed he heard the venom dripping from my voice. He looked at me for a bit and pointed to the couch."Go lay down."he looked back at his desk.

The blood had really helped and the delivery was smooth but I've decided to wait until my body is ready before a bear another but Thane is insistent on getting me with child."Iraia baby. Please come and have a bath" I nearly cried now. My enhanced smell couldn't help me because she had the gift of masking her smell.I felt a comforting hand around me and I sighed. "What's the matter?""It's your child. You promised to warn her to stop this""I did""No you didn't.

    Thane asked me to go up to my room with Nala and rest while they went to sort the problem. I didn't argue because I was in too much shock and I didn't want to watch any gory scene.Apparently Roman wanted me dead because I was a half-breed, Anstice wanted revenge because his daughter was 'killed' because of me. The maid was just a pawn in their games but she was going to be punished and the witch didn't want my child born.They spent most of the day in the dungeon, torturing the criminals. When Thane came back to our room, he was freshly showered and I was thankful because I didn't want to see blood on him.He joined me and pulled me into his chest. "It's over?""It's over" I kissed his hands and thanked him because I felt at peace now. There was no m

    I could already feel his rage through the bond. His smell was the first I noticed before his blazing eyes met mine. He walked to me and quickly inspected me for any injuries.I touched his arm. "I'm fine" he nodded and went over to Noir and he filled him in."Who gave the Luna a drink in my name" his loud voice boomed. Everywhere was dead silent and it only seemed to increase his rage. He released is dominance and all werewolves and humans fell to the floor.Noir and Valdus seemed to be struggling to stay upright while the others groaned in pain. I whimpered as I was not left out. He turned to me and released his hold on them.He walked to me and carried me in his arms and out of the great hall. Valdus and Noir followed behind us.

    "I want it out" want what out? I rubbed my eyes and sat up in bed. Kyros and Thane looked at me as they stopped talking."Want what out? What happened to me?" Kyros looked from me to Thane and to me again. Thane stormed out of the room slamming the door.Kyros cleared his throat and moved closer to me but still kept a safe distance."You're pregnant""I am? How did that happen? My heat passed""Not really. The first day is the most intense but the heat doesn't end on the first day"Ohhh. That was it? Thane seemed mad. "Is that why Thane is upset? He does want the baby?""The baby is a Lycan just like his father and you're human""But the mark..""The mark cannot change you completely. And even if it could it's still recent.

    Things were going well. I was really happy. And in love. I smiled giddily as I put on my dress. After much persuasion Thane had finally let me visit Bronte's hut but I had to go with Noir.He stayed outside while I explored the inside of the hut. I didn't want to take anything out of the hut so I read the books there.I had found out a few things about my mother. Her name was Circe. There was no record about my father's name except that he was a werewolf. The book talked about a prophecy but I couldn't understand it.After three days, I was satisfied with what I had learnt about my mother and figured there was no need to search deeper. I remembered Bronte's words from the dungeon.I took one final look around the room. This was the last time I would be coming here. I went outside and saw Thane outside with Noir. This was the first time he had come here. He turned to me and smiled. I smiled and jogged to wh

    "Do you still love her" I asked. He sat unmoving looking at me not saying anything. I guess I had my answer. I stood up and he held me back."I do" I nodded looking down at my feet so he wouldn't see the tears in my eyes. Hearing it made my heart break even more."But I love you too" I looked up at him and stared into his eyes, searching for any hint he might be lying. His eyes looked sincere."You do?" I asked unsurely."Yes. I love you. I love everything about you and I want to spend the rest of my life showing you how much I do" I choked back a sob as he held me in his arms."Don't cry. I hate to see tears in your eyes""I love you

    THANE'S POVI hurried back to the cabin hoping I got there in time for her heat. Her scent was faint. I went to the room we shared and checked the wardrobe but her stuff was gone.I figured she must have left the cabin but I was worried. She didn't know the area or the way back to the castle.I mind linked Noir and he confirmed that Jairus had brought her back. meddlesome pup. I shifted into my beast and ran back to the capital.I sent Carlyn back to the castle while I went to the cabin. I went up straight to our room. When I opened the door, Carlyn and Esme were sitting together and didn't seem to notice."I'm sorry I kept Thane with me all through yesterday" Esme nodded but didn't say anything."It's just that yesterday was Catalina's birthday. goddess bless her soul. She loved to celebrate it and so even after her death, Thane still cele

    The two days had gone in a blur with I and Thane spending time together. Although he still had to work but, it wasn't all the time.We played games to pass time and he thought me how to throw a knife. We talked about stuffs and he was extremely affectionate.I knew he had not forgotten his ex mate but I was certain he felt something for me. I know I did feel something for him. In fact I had fallen hard. I couldn't explain how I felt but I was happy whenever I saw him and felt butterflies whenever he smiled at him.I wanted to wake up beside him every morning and hopefully have a family together.I was starting to feel feverish but the heat had not yet started. I had a cold shower and put on a singlet with shorts. I went to the Kitchen but there was no sign of Thane.I went out on the porch and called out his name but there was no sign of Thane. I went back to the kitchen to get some water

    When I woke up the next morning, I felt better. I wanted to go to Bronte's hut but Thane wouldn't let me. He kept on going on about how I visited the dungeons and how I had not gotten my punishment.He further restricted my movement and confined me to my room for a whole week.The day of my heat was three days away and I had become more antsy. Thane had suggested we go to his private cabin secluded in the forest.We were to leave later today and he had forbidden me from stepping out of the room because my scent had become stronger and more alluring and he didn't want to kill any male today.Still tossing on he bed trying to sleep, I heard sounds at the window.
