Chapter 76|Two Weeks Later|The pack was peaceful again after many days of mourning. Everyone returned to their daily activities and the King continued to attend to the pack affairs while Jake waited patiently for his father to step down the throne for him. Olivia and Sarah also helped their masters the best way they could. Going on an errand and doing their daily activities. Jake made sure Sarah didn't leave his sight for long except when she had to return to her room. Within two weeks, he had shifters into his wolf in front of Sarah, shocking her in return. She couldn't believe he would and when he asked her to do the same, she refused and lied that her wolf was ill and wouldn't shift for some while. Jake agreed with her since the healer had also confirmed that Sarah was inner sick since the headache wouldn't cure and kept returning to her. Of course, the healer helped her make concoctions to the prince's command and most times when she had a headache, after using the medicine,
Chapter 77Jake walked out of the pack building with Sarah tagging along while his guards followed behind. There, they met Joe and Olivia, also going to do something at the servant quarters. "Where are you up to?" Joe asked Jake when they met themselves. Jake groaned, "My father told me to check on the new slaves," he relayed and Joe's eyes shifted to Olivia. He gave her a nod and she bowed to him. "Okay, I'm on my way to the servant quarters. If you need my assistance don't hesitate to reach out to me," Joe told him. "That is not a big deal," Jake implied and continued his way. While they took the root to the dungeon, some guards came running through the packed building and Jake stopped to know who was visiting the pack with guards ready to welcome the person. Just then, he smelled Alpha Logan, the same goes for Sarah. She smiled as they waited patiently for Alpha Logan to reach where they were. Alpha Logan's face curved into a smile too when he smelled Sarah. He pursued his pa
Seeing them laugh and chit-chat with one another made him sick. To avoid any more jealousy, he quickly left them alone, they should proceed with whatever they were doing. They looked good together and it pierced him deeply. He just couldn't imagine how Alpha Logan could get too close to Sarah when she was a slave. He was an Alpha, doesn't it upset him to see slaves around him? Maybe he was the only blood-headed person who wouldn't accept a slave. But it was hunting him down. He couldn't get over Sarah as he planned to. The more he resisted her, the more he saw himself rooting for her. All those times he spent with her that he couldn't hold her and call her his mate were very ragged for him. He had no idea that rejecting Sarah as his mate was the worst thing he had ever done. Has he done the wrong thing? What if she wasn't a slave like the other time, would he have rejected her?His mind didn't pull off from her thoughts as he made his way to the pack building. He kept thinking of what
"Are you trying to go back on your words now, Jake?" Diva questioned him, red stealing its way into her eyes. "Does that bother you?""You'll be dumb to do that. You're the future Alpha!"Jake sprang up from his seat, "Shut up!" He clasped, taking some steps towards her. "If you haven't been so evil, maybe I would've considered you my mate."Diva's laugh filled the room. She laughed a lot and Jake couldn't figure out why she was laughing. She tried her best to control her laughter but ended up talking between the laughs. "You're making excuses, Jake. Just because I attempted murder doesn't mean you should reject me," she uttered, then the laughter ended with a deep frown craved on her face. "I don't have to beat around the bush anymore. Let me be frank with you then. If I was going to mate with Sarah, wouldn't you have done the same thing knowing she's my mate?" He queried, unexpectedly. Diva's gaze left his face instantly and began to question herself too. Wouldn't she have done t
Sarah smelled him and tried to walk as fast as she could but she couldn't. She was so weak after watching the scene displayed clearly in front of her. She was downcasted thinking she already had Jake to herself. She had thought that he had started to acknowledge her as his mate but was she wrong all along? She wasn't sure because the way she saw them kissing wasn't the way he had kissed her. They weren't too intimidated and it seemed Diva had forced herself on him. Then his words echo inside her ear. "I'll mate with Diva and you'll be my maid and you'll keep doing what I want." She whispered and choked on her tears as she felt him getting closer to her. She wasn't ready to feel weak in front of him so he wouldn't think his actions had taken a toll on her. Jake got to her as soon as possible and crossed her path sending her to a halt in front of him. Pretending to be strong, she raised her head and their gaze met again. "Is there anything wrong, Master?" She requested, curling a fak
Jake's PovI stood dumbfounded listening to all that she said. I tried to reach out to her when I saw her striding away from me but I couldn't. My hand paused midway and I had no idea why it stopped. I seriously did want to choose not to let her go. I felt I couldn't do anything without her. Was I ready to let her off my side?I strutted to the same spot watching her leave in tears. She was my mate, and I was hers too, how forbidden for us to push ourselves aside. Would she finally reject me since I couldn't repel mine?Maybe we should finally go on our path. I didn't want to claim her as mine and I didn't want to hurt her. She was right, if I truly love her, maybe I should let her go. She won't be my maid any longer and I won't be the master that always torments her. At that point, I made up my mind to free her from me. I had given her a chance to be with anyone she would love to be with, be it Alpha Logan or any other person who would make her happy. Alas, I left where I was standi
Alpha Dan repeated his statement. "Alpha Logan requested your maid, your ex-mate, do you disagree?" he asked and Jake stared sternly at him. How could his father mention Sarah as his ex-mate in front of others present? His father arched his eyebrows at him when he wouldn't say anything and he had no choice but to speak. He faced Alpha Logan and took some steps toward him, stopping a few distances from him. "Do you mean, Sarah?" he requested and Alpha Logan found himself nodding his head. Jake also joined him in nodding his head, twisting his hands into a fist. Then he swirled back to face his father. "I don't have any obligations father, it's okay, he can have her since she's just a maid," he said and Beta Fred found himself speaking up. "Really? She's just your maid? You don't have anything to say about it?" Beta Fred questioned him and he swerved his head to the Beta. "Of course, Beta. I don't need her service any longer whereas, she'll no longer work for me again even if the Al
Sarah's body shook as the two dark wolves with gray eyebrows shining out like flaring radiant suddenly jumped towards her from nowhere inside the woods. She grabbed her robe and took to her heels making sure she kept a large distance from them but still they caught up with her since she was still in her human form. Her legs hit timber and she couldn't help but fall flat to the ground. She groaned in tears and tried standing up from where she fell but it was too late, the wolves were already roaring beside her. Her heart began to hit her chest in fear and she prayed silently for the moon goddess to come to her aid. She stayed like that, unable to face the wolves she couldn't tell if they were there to hurt her but seeing them following after her, she was sure she wasn't safe. The wolves finally surrounded her and she cried quietly as they sniffled all around her. Then, suddenly she heard one of the wolves talk. "Are you okay?"Without thinking twice, she swirled to face them and sat
