My breath was coming in shallow and short. I unsuccessfully tried to swallow the lump in my throat just as the Alpha appeared with Nabir and Noir by his sides. My heart raced just thinking about everything that was happening. I know I’m in deep shit. I stared at Alpha Keanu's face as others bowed. His jaw tightened and his noose flared when our eyes met.I tensed under his blazing eyes, my tongue darting out to lick my suddenly dry lips.“Jade?” Noir called in surprise.“Now, someone answer me, what the fuck is happening here? He questioned. his voice eerily calm.“She was trying to escape,” Linda spoke up first. I hoped he sees through this bullshit. It should be obvious that Linda was retaliating for being punished severely. But judging from the evident rage on his face. I could tell I was doomed. His face matched that of Nabir.“And how did you know so?” His voice was still calm, the exact opposite of the emotion on his face.“I…I woke up to use the bathroom and I found her bed em
The moonlight festival was in a day and we have been working non-stop. I haven’t seen Grey since I got back due to how busy we have been. Linda has chilled a bit since the incident, only giving me aggressive scowls and glares each time we cross paths. Nabir moved breakfast to later in the day so we could get more work done before sitting down for breakfast. She did this because some of the slaves deliberately ate slowly or stayed behind after breakfast to avoid doing their assigned work.So now I only get to see Gret when we bump into each other or when he is busy working. I followed Sheila out to the royal garden together with more fruits for the festival. Some of the slaves were now heading in for breakfast after their morning duties.“Ugh, I’m so hungry and tired” Sheila complained and I turned to look at her“What? You? tired? Where is Shiela? What have you done with her, you imposter?” I joked.It was so unlike Shiela to complain of hunger and tiredness. I could swear that she ca
My nerves were on edge. I would finally be free and let go after today. I hope King Ezra really shows up tomorrow and lets me out of here. We all woke up earlier than usual for some final preparation and touch-up. The castle was very busy this morning with slaves moving up and down hurriedly. The male slaves were loading some chopped wood into the wagon and moving them to the fields.We gathered more fruits from the royal garden and carried them into the kitchen where Nabir was instructing some girls on how to arrange them. More fruits were purchased from the markets too. I haven’t seen Grey today and I know he must be busy working in the fields. I finished up going in for breakfast with Sheila. None of the male slaves were in the hall. It was just some of the girls that finished early. I sat down in our usual spot with Sheila beside me.“Are you okay? You’ve been quiet since morning” Sheila asked, digging into her food.“I’m okay. Kind of, I’m just a little bit nervous and worried” “
I blinked. She heard me? Fuck, what do I say to her now? I watched as she stomped closer to me. Her possessive ass won’t handle this information well, I know that for sure.“Is this some kind of joke?” Her hands fisted my hair.“You’re the Alpha’s mate? You? A human? A fucking human”. Her hands left my hair and she shoved me. I stumbled back a bit but still stood my ground. She scoffed a laugh and her hands went to her hair, pulling it.“I must be dreaming,” she muttered to herself, laughing humorlessly, and began pacing.I’m lost for words. My lips glued shut while I stared wide eyed at her. I can’t tell her that the Alpha doesn’t want me or she might hurt me more. I scanned around for the Alpha. He just left. He couldn’t have gone far but his tall and huge stature that is so hard to miss was nowhere in sight. My heartbeat picked up as I turned back to Petra.She decelerated her pacing finally stopping to face me.“Answer me stupid bitch” Her right palm connected with my left cheek a
Sheila wasn’t in the room when I woke up. She left earlier because she was working in the kitchen. This was a new day and my disappointment was gone with night, my hope was refreshed as I woke up and waited for the girls to finish their bath. I watched as the last girl stepped out before I went in with my bath supplies. Being the last person to shower, I did it quickly to meet up with the other guys and not miss breakfast. I stepped out from under the now dripping water to grab my towel. Wrapping the towel around my body.I opened the door to see Linda leaning against the wall close to me with her friends standing opposite her, my hands tightened on the towel as I looked back and forth between them. We were the only girls left in the room and my heart raced thinking of what their plan could be.“What are you hiding?” Linda spoke first, now standing straight with her hands crossed in front of her.“What makes you think I’m hiding something?” I stood firmly subtly raising my head so I d
I woke up earlier than usual, feeling drained from the previous day. I remained in bed, forcing myself to go back to sleep before the day began. Seeing that the mission is impossible, I walked to the bathroom deciding to take my bath before others, which was a good idea because I took my time, no rush about being the last person and trying to meet up. I showered, dressed up and returned to my bed. My shuffling woke Sheila up and she joined me in getting ready too. I made a mental note to continue like this with her if Ezra doesn’t come soon. She finished up too and we laid back in bed not caring if our uniform got rumpled. As soon as the girls got up to prepare for the day, I left with Sheila to the kitchen. “Good morning Nabir” we both greeted as we walked in. She was setting out things we would be using.She gave us a little nod before eyeing my figure.“Nice to see you early for once” she directed at me.I remained silent not knowing what to reply or answer. Sheila moved and I fo
Alpha Keanu’s PovI was getting frustrated at the endless amount of letters scattered across my desk. I soughed, running my hands through my hair. I have been in here for hours and it still seemed like I have done nothing. I need to know who was behind these rogues. Aztec had gone to the human villages to check how much damage was done on a recently attacked village and he’ll be back in a few days. I mindlinked Nabir to send my food upstairs to my office and continued working on the files.Lore’s mood has been sour since the full moon. The strength of the bond was at it’s peak that night and my wolf wanted nothing more than to be with her. He was ready to bite Petra’s head off if I had stayed more minutes around her. So I quickly followed Jade when I noticed her leaving. Being alone with her was a torture. The close proximity between us, her sweet scent drawing me in, and the full moon playing its part. It was all too much. All I wanted to do was touch and hold her throughout the nigh
My friends sat down while I paced the front of the castle waiting for something, anything at all. It’s been hours now and King Ezra was not yet out. I was nervous for some reason I couldn’t tell. But then again nothing could go wrong. Right?“It’s been hours. What do you think is going on in there?” My stomach was in knots and I could throw up.“I think they are in a meeting. Come sit down Jade, they’ll probably be out soon”. Sheila pat the space beside her“What if ..”I couldn’t bring myself to say it for fear of it happening.“Jade you’re not a spy or anything are you?” Sheila asked“No, I’m not” I’m not a spy but I’m something.“Then nothing is stopping you from leaving today” And there lies the issue. But on the contrary, he hates my very being. He wouldn’t hold me back for any reason.My eyes peeked over my shoulder to where Grey sat. He has been silent since our little fight. I don’t want to leave while on bad terms with him. So I moved to his side.“Hey” I, bumped his shoulder
Last night was the best night of my life. I felt thoroughly satisfied and last night showed me that Keanu has been going easy on me before because I was human. I had the better taste of him and I want nothing less. Everything was so intense between us I thought I was going to explode and thinking about it now made me horny again.“My favorite scent in the whole world,” Keanu said referring to the scent of my arousal in the air.A cheesy grin touched my face as his fingers went down, disappearing between my legs. At the first stroke of his fingers against my clit, a knock came on the door. We both ignored it thinking that whoever was there would go away. He continued his assault on my pussy. A muffled moan escaped me when he plunged one of his fingers inside my soaked pussy.Another knock came again and he groaned. He brought his finger to his lips and got on the bed. On his way to the door, he picked up his pants off the floor and put them on.I laid back down as he opened the door.
He tugged me into the room and I followed him inside without breaking the kiss. I was writhing in anticipation. He kissed my neck, sucking on the skin. He lifted the dress of my body and I raised my hand so he could take it off. After the dress was off, I went in for another kiss. He stopped kissing me for a moment and pulled back to look at my breasts. I heard his heavy breath before he plunged again into kissing and sucking at my skin. He continued downwards until his mouth came in contact with my erect and extra-sensitive nipples. With the flesh firmly in his mouth, his tongue at my sensitive nub which sent waves of shock to my throbbing core. My moans were becoming loud as he repeated his efforts to my other breast. My wolf was going crazy and I felt like I was going to explode with pleasure."Yesss, Keanu " I moaned. I could feel how wet I had become. My thighs were slick and hot in anticipation. With the palm of his hand, he cupped, rubbed, and squeezed my breasts. I couldn't
Juliana didn’t say a word to me as we returned to the castle. We had to walk because I don’t think any of them would get on a wolf’s back to travel. Some warriors from the pack met us halfway later with wagons and that way were able to get back to the castle before night fell. Eliana was outside of the castle when we got back and she rushed to me, wrapping me in a tight embrace. “Oh thank goodness you’re okay” She sobbed and I was sobbing with her.“I’m so sorry for what happened”“It’s fine Jade, it’s not your fault” She is such a strong woman and didn’t deserve any of this. “Aztec, he was behind it,” I said to her and she stepped back to look at me.“Aztec?” She asked and I nodded.“Oh my goodness,” She gasped “Where is Keanu?”“Aztec challenged him to a duel to the death. He wanted me to leave with the girls so I had to leave him behind,” I briefly explained everything that happened to her and that I got my wolf. Ashe couldn’t stop crying.“I’m so happy for you. Everything worke
Alpha Keanu’s Pov“I’m right here, Keanu,” He repeated.I couldn’t recognize the man standing in front of me. That is not the Aztec I know. That is not my brother. He had this dark energy surround him and there was darkness in his eyes. “Aztec? Why… What? You’re the new King?” There’s no way. This can’t be real.“Why do you sound so surprised, brother? You don’t think I can be the Alpha king, like you?” He sneered.A short humorless laugh left my lips “I don't understand. You were the mastermind behind all of this?” How many more surprises are going to hit me?He folded his hand behind his back nodded and slowly walked closer “I’m actually impressed I could pull that off right under your nose”“Because not in a million years would I have suspected it to be you. You wanted Jade dead? Noir is dead because of you? Make this make sense to me”He paused his movement “Noir is dead? Well that’s sad, that was not part of the plan but things happen”“Why are you doing this? What has gotten in
Wait what? The conversion was successful?“It was,” My wolf replied in my head. This was unbelievable. I can’t explain how this feels. Everything was so foreign and weird to me. I could see the world around me but I was seeing it through someone else’s eyes. I could smell different things at once and when I focused, I could hear even the smallest of noises from far away. What the fuck? I was amazed. “You told me it failed!” I heard the man shout at Alfonsus.Alfonsus with his mouth ajar answered in a shocked voice “I thought it did”With the man’s face red like a tomato, he barked at the guards “What are you waiting for? Attack her”The guards changed into their wolves and came at me. Their filthy scent hit my nose instantly, telling me what a rogue smells like. My wolf pushed forward tearing through them like a raging storm. While we were fighting the rogues, Alfonsus and the man disappeared while we weren’t watching. As my wolf killed the rogues, more appeared. Blood stained her
Alpha Keanu’s POVThe rest of the day was busy with plotting and mapping out plans. All I wanted now was to go immediately to rescue Jade but with the Army of rogues they have it’s not going to be easy to the human village and reach where I suspected she was being kept. Every Alpha agreed to provide a group of warriors to aid in the fight. I still don’t know how it going to be given how little the support was but one thing is sure, we’re are doing this no matter what. I tried as much as I could to calm myself after the Alphas left to rest for the day and regroup the next day. Every passing minute felt to me like I was wasting time in saving Jade. I had to remind myself that this was a big fight and we needed to go in prepared. Two warriors have been sent to spy on the situation over there.Later in the evening, I went to the infirmary to check on Eliana. I’ve been too occupied throughout today to see her. I reached the royal ward where she was and entered inside. She was up but she
The guard kissed his teeth and grabbed me off the ground, probably thinking I was faking it “Nice try” He said and nudged me very hard to move, that I almost lost my footing again.I was dragged and thrown back into the cell. Most of the people were asleep when I was brought back but the sound of the cell door opening woke them up. “Who was that?” Juliana came closer to the bar to ask.“Ezra,”“King Ezra asked to see you? And you call him by his name now? Wow, you did change a lot” I dropped formalities on Ezra a long time ago without even noticing. The way Juliana looked at me felt almost judgmental. “Can you please stop saying that I changed?” I begged. For some reason, it made me sad hearing it from her.“I’m sorry, I don’t mean it the wrong way” She apologized.It was getting late and people were starting to fall asleep again. I remained awake and so did Juliana. She didn’t say any other thing to me and I could feel a little tension between us.After a while, she spoke to me aga
I looked around for her and saw her in the cell next to mine, we were separated by a cell bar. I knew I cared through the people in my cell and got to her.“Jade, what are you doing here?” She was as shocked as I was to see her here. I could ask her the same thing.She reached for me through the bars and I held her “How did they get you?” She asked me again.“The castle was attacked when Keanu was away. I thought you were safe Juliana. How are you here?”“I wasn’t safe. I took a big risk to come to see you at the red sun pack that very night” People around us started whispering at the mention of the Red Sun pack. I knew how much they hated wolves and I couldn’t let them find out I was mated to one. I lowered my voice to almost a whisper “How did you find your way there? How did you even know I was there?” “I was among some girls that were captured. We were in a cave waiting to be transported here the next day. When a woman working with the wolves heard me talking to a girl about yo
Alpha Keanu’s PovIf there was one word to describe how I felt it would be madness. I was going mad. Noir is dead and Jade is missing and to top it all, I can’t feel our bond. Rodor has sedated Eliana so she wouldn’t hurt herself or her baby.Each passing hour without her and no idea of where the fuck she is was driving me insane. I was trying the best I could to be rational and not go berserk. Lore’s patience was running thin and it won’t be long before he acts.I’ve searched a thousand times with Tolan and some other warriors through the woods but her secret only stops at the borders. There was nothing else after that but I didn’t let that stop me. I ordered them to continue the search while I returned to the castle. With Noir dead and Aztec yet to return, I was working everything alone. The slaves jumped out of my way as I marched into the castle. Everyone knows better than to set me off. Noir’s body has been buried but not sealed. Eliana hasn’t been in the right state of mind to
