I left the dungeon and went back to the castle to wait for Keanu. The castle was still in so much hassle and many eyes were on me as I walked. I didn’t go up to the room because that would only make me think and overthink the situation so instead I tried to locate Eliana or Sheila.I saw Eliana first. With her hands around her belly, she walked up to me as she saw me “Where were you?”“Needed a talk with Imelda. Is Keanu back?”“Not yet” She shook her head. I heard Nabir’s voice from where I stood with Eliana calling the girls to order and to get back to their duties. I looked around for Sheila but she wasn’t amongst the crowd.“Did she talk?” Eliana asked and I returned my gaze to her.“Huh?”“Imelda. Did she say anything to you?” She asked again.“Yes, she did. She is being threatened by some people and that’s why she came to work here” “Threatened? By who? What exactly did she tell you?” Just then I saw Sheila coming out of the hallway and the girls stepped out of her way as she
This was a new day but yesterday’s episode was still weighing heavily on me. Keanu was up and seemed to be writing a letter on the couch opposite the bed. I was deep asleep I didn’t notice when he returned.“Hey babe. What time did you come back?” I asked, still lying in bed.He looked up at me “I got in late at night and you were deep asleep, didn’t want to disturb you. How do you feel?”“Weak and hungry,” I’ve had nothing to eat since yesterday and I can’t believe I’m still scared to eat this morning.“Starting today, your meals will be tasted in your presence before you eat them. Don’t be scared”“Oh that’ll do,” I said, nodding my head.My eyes were still on him as he went back to writing whatever he was writing. He looked like he hadn't had any sleep in days.I sat up “Did you even sleep at all last night?” “I couldn’t sleep, not when you were in this much danger”I sighed and stood up from the bed to sit beside him. He dropped what he was doing and focused on my face.“I unders
The past weeks have been going smoothly and everything seems to be back to normal. I’m not going to lie, I felt more at peace for some reason after Jethro and Amice’s death. Jethro’s family was sent out of the castle after his eldest son was punished for disobeying the curfew. Grace said she never knew Amice was up to something and deeply apologized. I knew it was a crime to try and take out a leader or his mate. But I was expecting Grace to be sad that her granddaughter is dead or better still blame me for the cause of it but that wasn’t the case. Although she was sad about her granddaughter’s death, she made sure to apologize for the shame Amice brought on her and cleared her name and of course, Keanu didn’t hold it against her.Keanu has been traveling a lot within these past few weeks and I haven’t been able to spend quality time with him. Hopefully, he’ll be back today and I can’t wait, I’ve missed him a whole lot.I continued with Eliana at the greenhouse and I must say I’m lear
I woke up in so much pain. I didn’t try to move because I was too weak. Tears filled my eyes, blurring my vision at the amount of pain my body was experiencing. Recalling everything that happened made me scared to look at my body. I can’t remember how I got out of there or how much damage the fire had done to me before I was rescued. I shut my eyes, holding back my tears and pushing back the horrible memories.“Love, don’t cry. You’re going to be okay” I heard Keanu say and I opened my eyes. His thumb wiped away a tear that had escaped from my eyes.“Did you save me?” “Luckily, I got to you on time before the fire could do more” His voice was shaky and it scared me to see him like this.Do more? I dared to look down at my body and both of my feet were In bandage and my right thigh as well. My arms and torso were covered in bandages too. I choked on my cry.I shifted my teary gaze to Keanu, “Am I going to be okay?”“Of course love, I'm so sorry for the pain you’re feeling. Rodor has g
He kissed me passionately, pulling my legs further apart. He continued kissing me, trailing his fingers down my side. I was flooded with lust and I couldn’t wait to get more of him.“Keanu” I called when he pulled away from me and stood up. I watched as he pulled off his shirt, tossing it carelessly to the floor while staring at me deeply.His finger came back to my body, slowly he trailed up my thighs till it came in contact with my pussy. I threw my head back while one of his fingers collected my wetness before flicking my clit. He kissed my neck, peppering kisses all over each scar on my body. He plunged one finger inside me and I sucked in a deep breath. Pumping a few times he pulled it out of me and carried me back to the room. Gently placing me on the bed, he crawled towards me slowly, watching me with so much lust, a silent promise of what he planned to do to me and I couldn't wait for it. I couldn't wait for him to make love to me passionately. He knew how to make me feel l
My Naked back was pressed to his chest and his arms tightly secured around me. I heard light snores from him showing he was still asleep. I sighed in fulfillment, feeling so loved remembering how he still worshiped my body, despite my scars. My lips tugged up in a smile and I wiggled back into his embrace causing him to shift in his sleep and wake up.“You’re up early, are you okay love?” His voice was deep and husky.“Yeah. and It’s not so early anymore, the sun is out,”He groaned and stretched his body tiredly, closing his eyes again.“Are you free today?” I asked him, seeing how reluctant he felt to get up from bed.“Do you need me to stay with you?” He drew me closer to his chest.I would have loved him to but I needed to make inquiries and know more about the Conversion and I can’t do that with him here. “No, I’m going to be busy with Eliana” I lied.“Alright”He finally got out of bed and while he prepared, Rodor knocked and came in to check on my injuries as Keanu instructed.
There was no use lying to him, he has seen the book I might as well tell him the truth. “Not much” I answered honestly, walking to him to take the book from his hand. “I’m trying to learn more about it but I know it’s a way for humans to become a wolf”“And why do you want to know about it?” He asked his voice in a way that told me he knew the answer to it already.“Because I’ve been thinking about it and wanted to understand how it works”He looked at me dumbfounded. “Do you even understand what you’re talking about?”“Yes, I’ve been reading about it and I know what’s involved”He scoffed a dry laugh “I don’t think you do, else you won’t be thinking about it or wasting your time reading about it”“I know It either works or it’s death”“Exactly Jade, you could die from it” He spelled the words out as if he were talking to a child.“With the way things have been going, I could die anytime too. I’ve been lucky a few times but what happens when I’m out of luck? But think about the peace
Alpha Keanu’s PovAfter seeing the books she was reading, I knew what was coming next. So when she mentioned to me that she wanted to do the Conversion I wasn’t surprised. Her reasons were valid but that didn’t make this any easier for me. I was lucky enough to have arrived early before the fire took her out the other day and I may not be so lucky the next time. So after agreeing with her to do it, I left the room a minute later only to regret why I agreed to it. This was a terrible mistake I was making. Goddess forbids something happen to her, how will I live? She is the point of my existence. I would be so lost without her. I wasn’t scared of becoming weak or turning wild for that would be better than surviving and living on earth without her. On the other hand, she is human and someday she’s still going to leave me from sickness or old age. This is an opportunity to live with her forever if this works.I was lost in thoughts when Noir opened the door and walked in Aztec. I glared
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
