Marked by the Alpha King 87. The Hunt
Of course Wonjo Wesley had chosen hunting. In all the years Tatum had known her, she’d always enjoyed the wild. Always enjoyed doing wild things.He had been blinded by her beauty and charisma in his youth and it had taught him a painful lesson, however short.They had killed three rabbits and a deer, and Wonjo was eager for more. “We should eat. I’ll collect the firewood.”Wonjo smiled beside him, putting away her bow and arrows. “Just like old times.”She followed him as he searched around them for wood to make fire. Tatum enjoyed the silence and dreaded having to make conversation with her, even though he knew it was inevitable.When they had collected enough firewood, they sat down on cobblestones as they made the fire. They were going to cook the rabbit first. A part of him had missed living so wildly. It catered to his baser instincts and fuelled his wolf’s appetite. “How have you been, Tatum?”Wonjo’s sultry voice pierced his thoughts and he looked up at her from the fire. “W

Baka’s eyes burned as Emily sliced onions beside her. The tears falling down her cheeks made her face itch and she wanted nothing more than to wash it. But she continued cutting meat into tiny chops.“You’re crying,” Emily laughed, shaking her head at Baka. Her face was as clear as day.“And you’re not. You never cry. How is that possible?”Emily shrugged as she sliced the onions faster. “I’m not immune, you know. I just have more endurance. Both my parents were chefs. I use to help them a lot in the kitchen.”“I didn’t know. Did they own a restaurant?”“Three. Ever heard of The Garden of Eden?”“You mean the one from the bible?” Baka teased and Emily made a face. “Alright, I’ve heard of it.”They were quite famous. Her parents lost everything. Restaurants were one of the first establishments to go out of business during the war.Carlton appeared in the doorway just then, followed by Eugene. His eyes landed on Baka immediately with a broad smile. “Something smells good. I’m famished.”
Marked by the Alpha King 89. The Reunion
The news of Gabriel’s untimely demise had circulated around the city. It had been nearly a week and the city was still abuzz with the tragic deaths of his wife and children. So many of his people were already preparing to travel to Sunset city for the funeral while others sent Eugene many tokens and well wishes.Apparently, Gabriel was a loved king. Tatum wasn’t surprised. As long as he had known Gabriel, he was a reasonable man. To know his life was snuffed out from him so brutally made his blood boil.If Tatum ever got his hands on any member of the Judgement, they would wish they had never been born.“So, who’s our next Luna queen?” Takoda asked from beside him. They were sitting at the courtyard watching the guards train under the noon day sun.Tatum stared at him. “How can you think about that right now? A friend and his entire family just died.”“Killed. They were killed. And I feel terrible about it but life must go on. Or do you suggest we stall our lives just because we’re in
Marked by the Alpha King 90. The Lost Teddy
Baka had kept herself busy all day since she had nothing to do and couldn’t return to the palace until the Alpha Kings and their Alphas had gone. She made a nice meal and waited for her mother and the girls to join her. They had been so happy to know she had returned to them even though she had told them it was only for a short while.It was a little past curfew so they should be back any moment now. Baka served the food in a bowl and left it covered on the table. The girls would be tired and hungry when they got back.She heard multiple footsteps approaching and smiled.Then a more sorrowful sound emerged. Someone was crying—and loudly.The door sprang open as the girls walked in with a hysterical Mosann. Baka flew to her side in an instant.“What is it?”But Mosann was crying too hard to make any coherent sentence. “She lost her teddy,” Bessia answered.“Mr Holmes? How?”“In the market. Some idiot bumped into us but we didn’t think anything of it. It was not until we had gotten ha
Marked by the Alpha King 91. The Escape
Baka had lost count of how many times the wind had been knocked out of her in one night alone. Not only was her brother alive but he was also the leader of the renowned human rebel group desecrating werewolf cities and killing everyone without mercy. And Eugene was their ally, helping humans kill his people. Including his brother and their entire family. What was happening?“You’ve killed so many people, Henry.”“And how many of our people have they killed?”“So you kill their kids in return? Level their cities to the ground and bury their women and children under heavy concrete and debris? Massacre our kind in the process?”Henry shook his head. “That wasn’t us.”She paused. “What do you mean?”“Do you know me so little to believe I would allow the massacre of innocent women and children? The rumor about a special weapon was just that—a rumor. We had to threaten them but all we had were knockout bombs. “Our plan was to knock the people in the city out and kill the Alpha king. Then

The meeting didn’t start at noon as planned but late evening. After enjoying a hearty meal in the dining hall, Tatum asked his guests to follow him into the throne room where a round table had been set.Eight Alphas under Boaz’s rule, and five under Eugene’s were present. Alpha Wally and Alpha Aziz were also in attendance, as well as Alpha Hanriel, Sarah, and the high priestess. Hannah, Eugene’s sister, had excused herself over an hour ago.Since Tatum’s awkward encounter with Sarah last night, she had said fewer words to him and barely looked him in the eye. He wondered if she had truly gotten the hint and it was finally over. If so, he hoped it wouldn’t make them enemies.As they all sat on their respective seats, Tatum gave orders for the doors to be shut.“Thank you all once again for agreeing to this meeting. It shows great leadership to put our differences aside and work together against a common enemy. “As leaders of our individual territories, it is our responsibility to ke

The room became more tense as the Alphas looked from the high priestess to Tatum. The high priestesses were known for one thing—power beyond imagining. The most powerful ones could inhabit the full power of the moon goddess herself. One of those special abilities was the power of confession. With one touch, they could get a man to spill any secrets, even those he believed he would take to his grave. It was a horrible invasion of privacy and the kind of sentencing they only gave to traitors who had committed high treason.Tatum had once witnessed a man being confessed when he was a teenager. It was both a fascinating and terrifying sight. It was as though the man had lost all free will, his tongue had loosened like running water, and he simply wanted to please the high priestess who had merely touched his cheeks.It was said that it worked differently for everyone. The weakest of men could become slaves to the high priestess until her death released them from her hold and vice ver
Marked by the Alpha King 94. The Safe Haven
A week had passed since Baka left Khandom City behind. Her stay at the safe haven with the rebel group hadn’t been unpleasant. It was small yet spacious, hidden deep inside the woods with lots of armories and underground tunnels. There were about a hundred people living in the settlement and they were all divided into houses. House Philippi, house Rome, house Ephesus, house Thessalonica and house Corinth.They had a day-to-day schedule with routines on the upkeep of their environment, exchanging duties on a daily basis. It was very Henry to come up with such an arrangement. He was a big organizer. His idea brought order to their community.Baka was in house Phillipi. The community had been excited to have the sister and mother of their leader join them. They had welcomed them with open arms and ensured that they wanted for nothing. It was nothing short of amazing.It was as though Baka had regained her family again. It felt so similar to old times she could imagine it exactly as it
