“You’re quite the celebrity, Stephan,” Baka marveled as she sat down beside him in Healer Freya’s shop. “I hear you have about six wives already.”“And counting,” he bragged with a charming smile. He looked so much better than when she had last seen him. His wounds were healing nicely and color had returned to his face. He was even sitting! Something he was barely able to do before.“They’re all lovely. Especially Yandeh.”“Yandeh?” Baka asked in bewilderment.“Yes. Tall, black beauty—““I know who she is. Why her?”He smiled. “Honestly? Her height. Never been with a girl as tall as me. I’m excited to see how it turns out.”Baka couldn’t help but giggle. “Well, best of luck.”“Thanks, Sweets. And you?”“What about me?”“No man has caught your fancy?”Oh, dear. What was it about men asking her personal details about her life these days? She mused, remembering a similar question from Eugene.“Who has the time? Too busy being a slave to tyrants.” She had whispered the last bit. The walls

Baka knocked softly at the door to the Alpha King’s room and waited for the confirmation to enter. When she heard nothing, she knocked again.“Enter,” came his coarse response.That didn’t sound promising. Swallowing hard, she entered the room. He was sitting on his bed reading a book she couldn’t decipher from so far away. He didn’t look up at her as she walked the rest of the distance between her and the desk and placed the tray on top of it.Clearing her throat, she turned towards him. “Your dinner, my lord.”Nodding, he asked, “What is it?”He still wasn’t looking at her. “Rice and stew with fried chicken.”“That’s generous.” He glanced at his wrist watch. “And late.”She bit down on her lower lip as she’d seen Emily do only a few minutes ago. “I’m sorry, my lord. I went to see Stephan and didn’t pay close attention to the time.”“Indeed.” He flipped a page. Was he really reading? His monosyllabic responses and unbothered facade were beginning to gnaw at her. Hadn’t Aja said he had

Early the next morning, Baka woke up to loud screams. Alarmed, she scrambled out of her bed, all sleep flying out the window as Emily and Aja pointed frantically at a rat scurrying away to hide in a dark corner. They stood in their see-through nightgowns, utterly hysterical. “Look! A rat!” Aja was visibly shivering as she recoiled in disgust. “It ran over me. Oh my God! I can still feel it’s disgusting little feet on my bare skin.”“It’s gone under those tables!” Emily cried.Baka stared at them as though they had sprouted horns on their pretty little heads. They couldn’t be serious. “Really? You’re afraid of a little rat.”“Little?” Aja echoed in wonder.“That thing was not little!” Emily defended, pointing harshly at where the rat had scurried off to. “It was a giant rat. I’ve never seen anything like it.”Baka rubbed at her eyes and glared at them. Mosann was a better roommate than these two. “That giant rat is afraid of you but clearly it shouldn’t bother. I know a little girl w

When the games were over and the people began to disperse, Tatum couldn’t help but train his eyes at Baka. He had sensed her presence the moment she joined the scene, just in time to see the ruby necklace. He felt the weight of her emotions upon discovering it was his favourite.Her look told him she suspected why. He could sense it the moment her eyes landed on him. Yes, he wanted to say through their untested bond. It’s my favourite because it bears your name.She didn’t know what she meant to him. Not yet. But she will.He caught Eugene waving frantically at her. Either she hadn’t seen him or she pretended not to, because she turned away quickly. But Eugene only followed after her, running in front of her and she came to a halt. Then he embraced her. In front of everyone who cared to watch.Tatum couldn’t control the reverberating rage that soared through him as his wolf growled deeply within his cage. It was livid with rage and jealousy, threatening to burst through him at any sec

Morning came, and with it, a foul mood. Tatum had returned home a little later than he had expected last night. It hadn’t been as easy hiding in plain sight as it had been when he moved around in his dark cloak. He had still called some unwanted attention to himself but had managed to avoid causing a huge scene. His stay at Healer Freya’s shop had been long but thankfully Stephan had slept through it as she had given him a sleeping drug for some pain he still suffered from.Tatum had been relieved to find the palace asleep. The last thing he needed was to run into someone nosy enough to ask him questions.It hadn’t been up to ten minutes before he too gave himself to deep sleep. His dreams had been about Baka. He couldn’t be free of her.Maybe that was what had him in a foul mood this morning. He couldn’t afford his disposition. It was unacceptable. He was spending the day with Tamara Trinity, the winner of the games. She wouldn’t appreciate his mood. He wouldn’t appreciate his mood.

When Baka had finished her chores for the day, she made her way to Tatum’s room. He still wasn’t back from his date with that Trinity girl. What a nightmare she was. A beautiful one. In fact, she might be the most beautiful werewolf girl Baka had ever seen.And Tatum was out on a date with her.She hoped he was having the worst date ever recorded in history.She couldn’t deny that a part of her had felt jealous, watching them strut off together into the sunset and knowing he would spend the whole day with her. She had tried to keep the thought of them together out of her mind as she busied herself with her chores. But they eventually found their way at its forefront every now and then.Opening the door to his room, Baka found Eugene hovering over his desk. His eyes were glued to the documents laying open on it. Nothing in his expression gave anything away. It was his body language. It was stiff. Engrossed. So unlike his usual flexibility. Her hackles immediately shot up.He snapped h
Marked by the Alpha King 74. The Cell
Her heart ached at the realisation, finally understanding what Aja’s words and solemn countenance had meant. Be careful. It wasn’t concern like she had thought. It was guilt.She closed her mind off to the searing pain of betrayal and sought a way to flee from her attackers. Slowly, she took a step back. Ares and his friend laughed, continuing their painfully slow advancement towards her, as if they had all the time in the world. Their reason and intent were obvious. She was human, they were werewolves. They could snuff her out like a fly. She was utterly defenseless. They had planned this well, waiting until Tatum was not around to launch at her.Before she could turn around and run, a hand grabbed her mouth from behind, shutting out her intended scream. Her hand flew to it through reflex, biting down hard at it.Her attacker released his grip a little with an angry cry. “She bit me!” He yanked her around to face him and she saw his face clearly, recognising it in an instant. He wa
Marked by the Alpha King 75. The Awakened Bond
Something was wrong. Tatum could feel it in his bones. He had started feeling uneasy a moment ago and had ignored it at first, chalking it up to his present company.He and Tamara Trinity were just outside Khandom City, riding their horses slowly in awkward silence as darkness loomed over them.But the uneasiness within him was only growing deeper, unsettling his wolf and nothing could quiet it. He felt a sudden jolt of pain through the bond. The one he shared with Baka. It was very faint but it was there. Crippling fear coursed through it. It’s Baka, his wolf cried. I - I think she’s dying!Fear the likes of which he’d never known seized him and he kicked his horse against the belly. “Run, Kal!”It flew at heightened speed, leaving a confused Tamara behind as she called after him wildly. But Tatum barely heard her over the hard pounding of his heart. His mind was racing with each leap. What was happening with Baka? He searched through their shared bond, sensing her faintly. Their b
