Marked by the Alpha King 15 - The Invitation
“I heard you fired my slave,” Takoda announced as he lounged on his couch. “Is that why you summoned me like a slave?” Tatum bit back. He stood a few steps away from the door with his arms crossed.Takoda’s mate, Tania, was sitting on their bed, rubbing her belly. She didn't seem particularly interested in their conversation.“I meant no offence, little brother,” Takoda stated in a tone that made it very clear that he did in fact mean to offend him. As Tatum always did, he refused to rise to the bait.Since his coronation as the Alpha King, Takoda had been looking for ways to set him off. Try hard enough and he might just get his wish.“I simply want to know why I am suddenly without a slave.”Tatum uncrossed his arms, realising that folding it in front of his older brother in that way made it look like a child throwing a tantrum.“You can get another one.”“What if I want to keep that particular one? Hm? Don’t I, as your older brother, have a say in who I want to retain? Or is this a
Marked by the Alpha King 16 - The Observation
Long after the Alpha King had left the room, Baka had gone downstairs to the slave’s living quarters.It was a much bigger room than what she was used to at her former prison and unlike it, there was proper ventilation.They each had beds of their own too. Odessa’s bed was cleared out. Baka felt nothing over her departure. Aja and Emily seemed to avoid her gaze altogether. It wasn't from resentment, she realised. They were afraid. They were no doubt aware of why Odessa had been kicked out and were simply keeping their distance. Although she understood their reasoning, the aloofness towards her didn't hurt any less. After twenty minutes of unbearable silence, Baka left the room. She found her way back to the Alpha King’s room and laid down on the couch. She still felt weak from the illness but she was beginning to feel strength returning back into her bones, and her fever was breaking.Unfortunately, her body still ached from the bruises Odessa had left her.Baka’s thoughts unwitti
Marked by the Alpha King 17 - The Confrontation
“Don’t rip his head off, Tatum. I’m right here,” Mother Tina announced as she traipsed through the long corridor decorated with images of their family.Relief flooded through him as he rushed to meet her.“Where have you been?”Mother Tina eyed him. “Am I a child that I should tell you where I’m going?”Tatum stared at her, looking for any signs of dis-ease. She seemed to be doing okay. At least on the surface. “I was concerned.”“How touching.” She was still bitter over their last meeting. Her long blonde hair had been pulled into a ponytail and the long floral dress she wore almost covered her toes which were covered in dirt.“Did you go for a walk?” Tatum asked as they both entered her room, she leading and him following closely after her. Alec remained at the doorpost. Mother Tina’s room was spacious and smelt of heavy incense. The smell had always affected him negatively, so he rarely ever came into her room. Even now, he felt the beckoning of a body-shaking sneeze on the horizo
Marked by the Alpha King 18 - The Visit
It was late noon when the Alpha King returned to his living quarters. He had been sorry his mother-in-law had decided to drive a wedge between them, but he had no regrets. Instead, he looked forward to seeing Baka and practically raced to his room. Not being around her made him feel unpleasant.It had barely been two weeks and she had started to have such an effect on him.As he pushed open his door, his gaze fell on the couch where she laid earlier this morning. It was empty. Maybe she had gone to see her mother. He had given her permission to, after all and she had wasted no time to act on it. But she was sick. Common sense would’ve told her to wait until she got better. She might be too sick to go wandering around. What if she collapsed under the blazing heat of the sun? Or became the unfortunate victim of one immoral guard?Tatum was aware that some of his guards could be barbaric.He cursed under his breath as he made his way to his cupboard, fishing out his dark cloak. He was
Marked by the Alpha King 19 - The Meeting
Alpha Wally was a huge man. He had muscles for days and could pass for a gladiator if they were into that sort of thing. Somehow, his bald head made his large stature even more severe, and he had a commanding presence that could fool you into thinking he was a barbarian.But on the inside, he was mush. Tatum often saw him with his fraternal twins, Winner and Winnie, being a complete moron just to make them laugh. He was an all round fun-loving dad. Everyone could see that his kids meant the world to him.If he wasn’t going hunting in the woods, he was with his kids, playing games with them and cheering them on when they got into trouble.Sometimes, Tatum felt jealous of their bond. Not because he had lacked it as a boy but because he wanted to be the same way, if not more, with his own kids.Yet he had no kids of his own. His mother had told him she believed he would have a girl.“I wanted a girl,” she had said, laughing at the thought. “But I think God knew I couldn’t keep up with on
Marked by the Alpha King 20 - The Realization
“Where have you been?” Tatum demanded, staring at her crossly.Baka wondered what he was mad about this time as she stood just before the door, her hands clasped in front of her. Had the meeting with Alpha Wally gone awry?“I asked a question,” he snapped.She lowered her head. “I was in the slave’s quarters, my lord.”She had met her mother and Bekon all within the same hour and her heart was glad of it. It was no surprise to have run into Bekon. They were bound to cross paths no matter who she served.The Alpha king eyed her for a minute, then let out a slow breath. “Look at me when you talk to me, Baka.”Why did she need to? Why did he always ask that of her? Most werewolf masters would slap her if she dared look them in the eye. But he wanted her to look straight at him.What was he hoping to find?“I said look at me,” the Alpha King growled. “ If I have to repeat myself every time, what use are you to me?”Her chest burned as she lifted her head up slowly and stared straight at hi
Marked by the Alpha King 21 - The Selfish Decision
Bile rose up her throat as Baka covered her mouth in disbelief. What was wrong with her? Having feelings for the Alpha king? Her people’s oppressor? Shame on her!How could she crave his touch? How could she feel the way she did when he was around? He was the enemy, for Pete’s sake! Even breathing the same air as him should be repulsive to her!Yet the feelings he had aroused within her was unmatched. And what he had just whispered to her… the nerve! How could he say such a crazy thing? She was his slave, he was her master. There was too great a power imbalance for him to even entertain such a notion.But she couldn't deny the pleasure that coursed through her. Bekon had said roughly the same thing to her and she had never felt as fired up as she did at this moment.It was abominable. It was unacceptable. It was unforgivable. Her dad and brother would be turning in their graves. She was no different from Odessa—a disgrace to all of humankind.She couldn't be around him anymore. But th
Marked by the Alpha King 22 - The Judgement
“What do you mean there’s been an attack?” Tatum asked his brother as they stood together on the balcony.It was early noon and Tatum had been preparing to go to the courtyard for his usual run when Takoda had pulled him aside into the balcony with urgency.“Exactly what I said,” Takoda grumbled, folding his arms and lowering his voice an octave lower. “Yundum City is in ruins. I heard their Alpha King suffered serious injuries and might not make it.”Tatum furrowed his brows in disbelief. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Yundum City had one of the largest territory and werewolf communities with at least twelve werewolf packs. Their Alpha King, Lee, a formidable and powerful werewolf had been one of the generals who had led them to victory during the Great War. No one in their right mind would ever wage war against him or his people. He was a feared man. Even Tatum’s late father did not hold a candle to him. Yundum City had been indestructible. Or so he thought.“Who was behi
