The guards at the palace gate looked confused as we came down from the wagon. They bowed as we got closer but didn’t step aside.“Tell Ezra that we’ve arrived” Keanu’s voice held so much authority that the guards wasted no time in doing what he said. One of the guards left to get Ezra and soon Ezra appeared from behind the big gates.“Keanu, Jade” He bowed, “I didn’t know you were coming this soon”“Me too,” Keanu answered.I’m a little confused about what’s going on but I’ll ask him later. “Welcome then, please come with me” Ezra smiled but it was strained.He turned around and led us into his palace. I’ve never been to his palace before but I never imagined it to look this big and beautiful. I could see how lavishly he was living while his people suffered. Even his guards and servants that loitered around looked so malnourished like they’d drop dead any minute from now. How does Ezra even expect these guards to protect him or the villagers? There was a big difference between Ezra’s
“What’s that?” Keanu asked, coming to stand beside me.With quivering lips, I looked up at him and answered “It’s a letter from.. from Juliana”I shifted my gaze back to the piece of paper in my hand and when I saw the date on it my hand flew to my mouth. It was dated back to her birthday. It was a very short message and it said ‘Today is my birthday Jade but no one is here to celebrate with me. I’m scared, I don’t want to be alone. I don’t know where you are but I won’t give up on my search, I promise to find you. I hope you’re safe and I hope you see this letter and know how much I miss you. My wish for this year is that you’re okay and we see each other soon. I love you”My knees buckled but Keanu caught me before I could connect with the floor. He turned me around and pulled me to his chest as I sobbed. She was really here like Bridget mentioned. Juliana was here and was alive and looking for me. Oh my god. She must have been the one who locked the door. Why did I never think ab
It was night by the time we arrived back at the castle. Noir met us outside and left with Keanu who still looked furious. I walked up the stairs heading to the last wing when I met Eliana.“What’s that in your hands?” She was referring to the painting that I was holding close to my chest. I rolled it open to show her.“It’s a painting of my parent”The upper part of the painting was burnt but the picture of them was still good.Eliana studied the painting and my face. “You look just like your mother” “Yeah, I get that a lot,” I replied.“So how did it go, did you find anything?” She asked and I nodded as I pulled out the letter that was hiding inside my bra. I handed it to her and when she went through it her mouth dropped and she gasped.“She was there?” She asked and I nodded again, holding back the tears in my eyes. “Oh dear, how do you feel?” Her voice dropped to that of concern.“I feel like I didn’t do enough. After reading that letter. I feel like I failed her.”“Don’t say th
“Juliana?” I called in a small shaky voice and she smiled with tears in her eyes. “Oh my god” my hands flew to my mouth. My sister was standing in front of me in the flesh.“Juliana” I called again in disbelief and she ran to me, encasing my body in a tight hug.“Jade, I missed you so much” she sobbed.“You’re alive,” I said in almost a whisper, still very much in shock.I couldn’t believe it even when I hugged her back.“Where have you been? I went back to the house and I saw your letter. I didn’t know where you were” I began rambling but she pulled me back and said.“I wish I could tell you everything right now, but it is a long story and I must go now”“What? What do you mean you must go now? Go where? Where have you been all this while?”I held her hands tightly like she was going to disappear.“I’m so happy to see you again….” She started but I quickly cut her off.“Juliana, talk to me, do you need me to come with me? I could do that” She shook her head. “No, you can’t come wit
Keanu kissed me deeply while running his hands down my sides, gripping my ass tightly at the same time he nipped at my lips. Walking slowly to the bed, he gently dropped me back to my feet and I started taking off my clothes while he watched me with hooded eyes. I took off my gown and my bra but left my pants leaving him breathless and wanting more. I wanted to be in charge today and do more work rather than enjoy it. I wanted him to enjoy me too.The second my dress hit the ground, he began caressing my breast and licking my tits“Oh human I could never get enough of you”I reached for his clothes to take them off but he grabbed my wrists in his hand. "No" keep your hands to yourself. “No” I replied while unfastening his pants and pulling it down, I wouldn’t listen to him anymore. I will do what I want and how I want it. I knelt down In front of him and brushed his cock with my palms before taking it in my mouth. He sighed, throwing his head back with his eyes shut.“Eyes on me” I
My eyes opened to Keanu staring deeply at my face. With a smile on my face, I wiggled deeper into his chest to smell his manly scent. He smells so good all the time.“How are you, my queen?” He asked cheerfully.“I’m good, Have you been staring at me?” I asked groggily. My whole body felt like jelly because of how satisfied I felt. We were going at it til dawn and as I was snuggling him now I could still feel his hard on.“I couldn't help myself, you should see how beautiful you are” He kissed my temple and lifted me to his body as I straddled his waist. His dick pressed into my center and I moaned. I was very sore but I don’t mind going again and again with him.My eyes shifted to the window and I noticed how bright it was outside. I scrunch my face, “What time is it?”“Almost noon” He answered“What?” I laughed “We’ve been in bed since morning?” I was more surprised that Keanu stayed in bed with me till now, he was a morning person and most times he was gone before I woke up or was
Alpha Keanu’s PovI left the room after my discussion with Jade. I have never thought about having kids because I didn’t want one. I might have responded a little too harshly but that’s because she caught me off guard with such talk. This was the first time we were having such a discussion and I must say my reaction wasn’t the best but at that moment all I felt was anger and responded harshly to shut her up which I’m regretting at the moment. I stood outside the door, my eyes going to the last room on this wing, a room I’ve made sure to avoid all these years, successfully pushing everything about it at the back of my mind. Anger soared through me as I stared at it right now.I don’t know how long I stood there glaring at the door until I heard Noir call my name.“Alpha, you sent for me,” He said, walking the last stairs that led to my wing.I had called him as I stepped out of the room. “Yes,” I simply answered and turned towards my office. He followed and when we entered I grabbed a
I opened my eyes to find out I was at the infirmary. “Not again” I groaned and sat up, recalling the previous event that landed me in this situation.“Shit, I’m okay and safe” I sighed in relief patting my body for any injury. The rogues looked like they were there to kill and it was unfortunate that I was outside at that time with Eliana. “Eliana? Oh my god” I panicked,I quickly stood up from the bed and my vision went hazy for a bit before going back to normal. The door to the room I was in opened and Keanu stepped in. “Sit down, you have a concussion,” He said, coming to my side.I recalled our conversation earlier today and how rudely he reacted so I ignored him and sidestepped him, heading to the door to check on Eliana.“If you’re worried about Eliana, she is fine,” He said and I stopped and turned to face him. Fearfully I asked, “What about her baby?” My hand unconsciously goes to my stomach.Keanu’s face contorted following my actions and I panicked before he quickly said “
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
