Marked by the Alpha King 07- The Brother
Working for her new master, the Alpha King, was nothing like Baka had expected it would be. He was out for most of the day and would come back past her curfew. She hardly ever saw him nor knew what he did outdoors. And when she did see him, he never said more than two words to her. He’d either eat alone or go to the balcony or the garden and spend hours on end there. The man who had spoken to her at length during their second meeting seemed to have vanished. Not that she was complaining. She hardly thought it did her any good to become his conversationalist.Baka dedicated herself to her job which included cleaning the master’s room, preparing his clothes, and making sure his food was exactly how he liked it. He had given her a long list of things he didn’t eat. She’d never met anyone so picky. He didn’t eat ketchup or mayonnaise. Didn’t like onions or garlic in his food. Only ate red meat and drumsticks and didn't like his egg scrambled.The other slaves in the palace hardly spoke

Tatum watched her leave his room, her dark, curly hair flowing behind her. She had secured it neatly in a bun but they had come slightly undone.Her scent was like a cooling balm to his rising temper. How could she smell so right?Half the time, he had to move away from her for fear of sniffing her like an animal. He sat down dejectedly on his chair, cradling his head in his palms. Something wasn't right. It hadn't been since he met her at Healer Freya’s shop.First, her scent had hit him like a moving truck. Then she'd looked at him with her stunning dark brown eyes and he had felt instantly drawn to her. It was like nothing he had ever felt before.Then the most unseemly thing had happened— his splitting headache ebbed away slowly into nothing. A headache he had been wrestling with since he had his first shift five years ago. A headache so terrible that he would black out for days on end. A headache he had sought remedies for countless times at Healer Freya’s shop, and while it ha
Marked by the Alpha King 09- The Accusation
Out in the streets, Baka inhaled deeply, feeling the wind on her skin as the scent of fresh grass filled her nostrils.Having finished tidying up her master’s quarters and seen to it that his meal was as he liked it, she had taken some money he had given her for necessities to get some supplies at the main market.And to see her mother. She hadn’t seen her in three days and was worried. She hoped the girls were doing okay too.The sun was setting, painting the streets with a beautiful orange hue. It was almost past curfew, so they were guaranteed to be indoors by now. Someone tickled her from behind and she yelped.A grinning Bekon stared back at her, his hands raised up in the air. “Sorry.”“Bek!” She glared at him. “Don’t ever do that again.”“I said I was sorry,” he chuckled. “You used to like it when I did that.”She continued to glare at him. Maybe three years ago that would’ve been a boon that would have led to a rendezvous at the back of a tree or on the grasses in the field.
Marked by the Alpha King 10 - The Sister
Sleep eluded Tatum that night as he tossed and turned in bed. Feeling morose, he finally gave up and got up from his king-sized bed.He walked to his mini freezer and took a bottle of wine. Pouring some in a wine glass for himself, he downed the drink in one go.He poured another and downed it with as much speed. Baka plagued his mind. Everything about her plagued him.He was plagued by her tears, by her sad brown eyes that held untold secrets and lifelong pain. He’d felt an innate urge to console her and hated himself for causing her tears.But she had gone. To meet with her lover. And the headache had returned.His hands balled into fists. More angry at himself than her, he poured himself another drink.Is this what he had been reduced to? The powerful Alpha King feeling jealous over a slave? His laugh held no humor.But he was. Jealous of her tears over him. Jealous over someone he didn't even know. He had wanted to demand her to give him his name and then have him brought over for
Marked by the Alpha King 11 - The Shock
The days were long and the nights even longer. Sometimes Baka would cry in her sleep, missing her mother so much that her heart would hurt. Other times she pretended she was in her prison talking to the girls. Her heart ached for them. It ached for companionship too. She felt as though she would go crazy.No one spoke to her. She was treated like a plague. Aja and Emily only spoke to her when needed. Odessa ignored her completely. So Baka restricted herself within her Master’s quarters. He did as he always did; Left early in the morning before she woke and came back late in the night when she was asleep in the servant’s living quarters. She longed for true companionship, and often found herself missing Bekon’s flirtatious advances.But she did as her mom asked; laid low, kept her head down, played dumb, minded her own business. She threw herself into her work and did nothing else.By the eighth day, she had fallen ill. No one noticed. On top of that, she was on her period. Doing w

Odessa held nothing back as she bathed Baka the following morning, scrubbing her skin until they turned red with bruises.“You’re hurting me!” she cried and tried to pull away from her but she was weak from her illness and Odessa was twice her size. She shoved Baka’s head into the bath water and held it in place while Baka thrashed about struggling to breathe.It was a while before Odessa let her up again as she coughed up water, her eyes red and her entire body screaming. Still, Odessa rained a series of punches in her stomach.“You think you’re better than me, is that it?” Odessa sneered as she held Baka’s jaws roughly, digging her nails into the sensitive flesh. “You’re nothing,” Odessa continued, her eyes glinting coldly at Baka. “When the master has had his fun with you, he’ll cast you aside like the trash you are. And I’ll never have to see you again.”She shoved Baka by her jaws and Baka sank into the bath, hitting the cold metal surface with a loud thud.Laughing, Odessa grabb
Marked by the Alpha King 13 - The Goodwill
“You sent for me, my lord.”The Alpha King rose and beckoned her to come closer. Baka kept her eyes trained on him, wondering what game he was playing at this time.“Look at Baka,” he ordered.“My lord?” came Odessa’s insipid reply.“Did I stutter?”Baka saw Odessa’s throat bop and knew the girl was frightened to death. She could summon neither pity nor glee.“Are you looking?” he asked, his tone menacing.“Yes, my lord,” Odessa replied as she stared at Baka, her lips quivering. The look in her eyes told Baka that she had begun to suspect what this was about.“Good. Now tell me what you see.”“My lord?”“Are you deaf as well as dumb? Tell me what you see.”“Nothing, my lord. I see nothing.” The air became brittle as the Alpha King walked slowly towards Odessa. She was visibly shaking.“Look again.”Odessa looked confused. “I see nothing, my lord.”“Is that so? Because I see bruises. Don’t you? On her lip, on her cheeks, on her neck, and even on her belly. Like she was attacked by a wil
Marked by the Alpha King 14- The Interrogation
“Massey the midwife is your mother?” the Alpha King asked with interest.Baka hadn't wanted to admit to anything, but she hadn't had a choice. He was a human lie detector. Plus, they only knew her as a midwife. Not as the wife of the infamous human rebel leader. “Yes, my lord.”Frankly, she was surprised he knew her mother’s name at all. It also surpised her that he chose to call her by her name when other werewolf masters and mistresses never even bothered to know it. They all chose to refer to her as “girl” or “slave” or—her personal favorite— “filth.”The door opened then as Emily walked in, carrying a tray of food. Her gaze fell on Baka and she quickly looked away. She was a petite black girl with a small oval face, thin eyebrows, and long, voluminous hair that she had braided into two pigtails. Her brown dress— modest and long like Baka’s had been— hugged her small frame. She was beautiful, more beautiful than Odessa whose face bore harsh, hard lines around the eyes and jawline
