Amaya stood behind the door of the inner room, hands clamped together as she waited with a racing heart. It was around 12am when she finally heard the sound of the door. Seconds went by, followed by a subtle thump and then a slight squeak. Everywhere went dead with silence. It took her another moment to deduce that Tommy had actually gone to sleep. She blinked in surprise. When her surprise waned off, her shoulder fell in relief. Could he have forgotten she was in the same room with him? Was he no longer interested in getting married to her or did he suddenly don't want to fuck her as he had badly wanted?To be sure Tommy would be deep asleep, she waited for another ten minutes. Slowly and carefully she opened the door and tiptoed in as silently as she could. Raze had told her places to search starting from the bedside drawer. Her eyes roamed on top of the drawer. What she had to come to find was not on top of the drawer– which meant it could be inside. She hadn't heard Tommy open t
AMAYA'S POV “Was it your plan all along? Did you think you would be able to walk out of here alive on my watch?” Tommy sneered at me. “Little princess, I gave you a chance to save yourself…” his eyes changed and he started to take steps closer to me. “Don't come close to me!” I snarled, my eyes scanning the place. The gate was still like some meters away. Guards on alert surrounded me. How the guards were able to know and recognize me baffled me because I was in the maids’ uniform. “Did you think I would agree to marry someone like you?” I said with a mocking sneer. “I only wanted to use you and escape. You are half a man and can't even satisfy a woman. You mean, I will be the one to pleasure you and not the other way around. Never have I heard such. Only weak men say such things.”“You have no choice, bitch!” “You betrayed people and you will face the wrath of the goddess soon. Unwanted leader.”His jaw clenched. My words poked him in the exact place I wanted. “Get her and throw
“Here's your food.” The guard placed the plate of crumbly bread and water in front of Damian’s cell. After dropping the food, he lingered without leaving immediately. Damian sat up, alerted. The guard's behavior reminded him of someone. As the guard was looking up, his eyes caught with Damian's. He quickly averted his gaze and turned. “Wait,” Damian called and he halted. “It's you. The one that sent the letter to me.”Jungo slowly turned around. The raw unguarded surprise in his face gave him away. “How did you know about Nelo and why did you tell me?” Damian queried. When Jungo did not speak, he let out a jeer. Now he understood everything. Being an Alpha for many years had brought different kinds of people his way and Jungo was one kind of many. Ready to betray their masters for some measly crumbs or pleasure. But always end up switching and turning around to betray their new master for abandonment issues. Nelo must have cut off the benefits he got and that infuriated him. He ord
Tommy rose from his seat very abruptly and stalked forward. His brows were gathered thick and his forehead burrowed deep. Nelly, Lyra and Nelo stood before him. Their sights alone displeased him. They were nothing but bitches waiting to betray the next unfortunate man.“You three know where that bitch ran to…you knew she was planning to escape but kept it from me. Now, who do you all think will suffer the consequences?”“My Alpha, we know…I mean, I know nothing,” Lyra said gingerly, her eyes, innocent as anything could ever be. At least for what they have shared, she hoped Tommy would be nicer to her than the others. Their handsets had been seized and the clothes she managed to gather up seized again. “We know nothing,” Nelo said plainly. Amaya kept her in the dark too. She had wanted Tommy to not choose her as his wife and Luna and should be glad she ran away. But, she wished she knew why she left. Amaya would never leave the Emperor mansion with both Lucius and Damian in the dunge
How could Amaya do such a thing? Why would she want to save him? Endangering herself. Why did she always act without thinking of herself first? Damian felt weak and furious and helpless. A woman was the one trying to save a man like him. It was supposed to be the other way around. It made his blood boil so much his knuckles cracked. The cell had gotten a bit more cold by the day. “Now speak. What plans are you making,” Lucius demanded, breaking into his rageful thought. “How much do you already know?” he shot him a look. He already knew he’d been watching him all the while. “That the guard here is helping you and your Beta.” “Do you have any idea who escaped? One of your women, I heard,” Lucius queried and peered suspiciously at him. He casted a look at him and shook his head. “Don't try to play me. Tell me everything.”“Relax. For now, we are still making plans. I will let you know once everything is sure and certain.”“Are you pretending not to know or are you really not aware
Lyra sauntered down the hallway in quick steps, nose flared and her jaw set straight. She could not believe she had just done what she did. If she was told her entire life she would be sharing a man with another woman, at the same time! she would never have believed. And it had to be Nelo. Grossed out was an understatement. She was completely disgusted and hated herself that moment. A million baths wouldn't be able to wash away the filth she felt. “You bastard Tommy, jerk! Bastard!” She fumed under her breath. “Move out of the way! Fools!” She barked at the maids and whatever was on her way. All of a sudden someone yanked her hair from behind. “Ouch! Who dares!” She groaned and swirled. “I dare, bitch.” Nelo gritted. “So, how was it? If it was a book it would be titled–Threesome with the Alpha. Hahaha. Hilarious, isn't it? You have no shame.”Lyra gave a dry sarcastic chuckle. “Oh shut up. You are the shameless one. Tell me, when did it start? Since when he became the Alpha? or…
“Alpha Tommy, do you think we are here to stuff our faces with food and then go back to our Packs as if everything is alright?” Alpha Kael questioned with burning eyes. “We are not at ease. We cannot be at ease with no insurance. You promised to get the deed and it's how many weeks now?” Alpha Balus started. “Exactly!” Alpha Blackridge uttered in agreement. “You must get the deed as soon as possible otherwise we all will be dead if–”“If something goes wrong—” Tommy interjected. “What would go wrong, Alpha Balus? Or… are you hoping for something to go wrong?”“What are you saying?” Alpha Balus asked, frowning. “You know exactly what I'm talking about.” You are the one aiming for my throat.“Look, Alpha Tommy, I am only saying this for the benefit of all of us. You know what it means for us. We have claimed ownership of a land without the particulars. When the original owner–”“And who the fuck is the original owner! Balus, are you planning to betray me?”“Don't be ridiculous! Wh
PRESENT Tommy grinned. His eyes held cruel amusement as Lucius and Damian were dragged into the fighting cage. “You are wrong. My enemies will be defeated. I will not suffer a terrible fate,” he mumbled, the wicked glint in his eyes deepening. The seer was wrong. These are his enemies and he would break them. He would make them beg for their death and they would never make a comeback. He would make sure even the thought of trying to come back for revenge will be impossible. The deed? He doesn't need it anymore. Once Damian and Lucius were dead, he would make a new one. Who would challenge its authenticity? Beaming, he rose from his seat. “Listen fighters! No rules. Fight to death!”There were booming cheers from only one part of the crowd. As if the crowd was divided. Damian looked at the crowd. He couldn't recognize anyone but in his mind, he wondered who were the ones glamorizing fighting when they had at one time desperately wanted a new world where brutality would be erased.
AMAYA'S POV Lucius got Westwood back as Damian promised him. A few days after that, he came to see me. “I know I'm a coward for saying this now…but actually I had used your friend to fool you.”“I know.”He was surprised at first but smiled a sad smile. “It would be weird if you didn't know, right?”“I'm sorry, Amaya. I was foolish and a coward. I should never have treated you the way I did. What sort of a bastard sold his mate to save his head?” He sighed painfully. “Do you know? I hated you way before I found out you were my mate…but I was willing to make things work for that simple fact.”He sighed and bent his head. “But you don't have to feel bad about anything now. I'm in a much better place now and it's all thanks to you.”Before he left, we broke our mate bond and rejected each other. A wave of freedom rushed through me at that point. I wondered if this was what it meant for two mates to reject themselves and not the rejection being one sided. I wished him well. He was a m
Tommy fled. Behind the market. To the place he'd told the men he borrowed from Alpha Kael and Alpha Blackridge to wait for him. “Warriors! Position, now!” He roared. No man showed. He roared again. And again. Still no man showed. He looked around to be met with silence and desolation. The weapons were lying around with no man to claim them. He ran to the shed. Their belongings were gone. To his shocking discovery, he realized the men had disappeared. He cussed and his body clenched. “You must be looking for the men you borrowed, huh?” Damian spoke. They were behind Tommy. Some meters away. Tommy looked behind him, the people that wanted him dead had caught up with him. Then to his right, towards the uncompleted building where Lyra, Alpha Kael and Alpha Blackridge were tied. To flee or to take his revenge? If he lost Lyra, he would never get Damian again and he needed to kill Kael and Blackridge for deceiving him. But he was not sure of making it out alive. Fleeing would cost his
Tommy laughed. “I knew it. A bitch like you can't be trusted.”“Neither a monster like you.” Nelo retorted as she aimed the shining dagger at him. She'd specially sharpened the edges. She wanted every pierce of it to be nothing but torture to him. “Do you think you will survive? Look around. There are hundreds of people here but no one is watching.” Tommy gestured as he took a glance around. “I don't need their help. You are dying by my hands today.” Nelo clenched. Tommy stopped, his face hardening. He would not be blamed. He gave her a lot of chances but she blew it. He did not have any intention of harming her. He admitted she was helpful not just as a spy but in giving him pleasure. She was the best he had. And for that, he would not let her die by his hands. But she was getting on his last nerves now and he didn't have that time to be patient. Damian would be arriving soon and his trap was only halfway done. “Drop the dagger and we will talk,” he warned. “I am done talking to
>>>“Nelo.” Nelo heard her name and froze. It was not Tommy's voice and she knew. Before she could turn, a thick black bag covered her face with a part of it shoved into her mouth. Two hands dragged her away. For seconds she struggled to free herself.“Damn you Tommy!” She muffled.After a while, she quit struggling and rode with the stride. Whatever happened, she was determined to end everything today. She felt her cloth and seeing that what she kept there was intact, she tightened her resolve. She heard a door creak open. Her blindfold was taken off and she saw herself inside a shop. A pretty much empty shop with a few fabrics hanging around. Her eyes danced as her mind swirled with thoughts. Why would Tommy bring her into a shop? All the memories of when he'd made her go to a secluded place just so he'd have his way with her flashed her head. For a moment images blurred and her head dizzied. Until she heard the voice of her captor. “Bitch.”He
D-DAYNelo waited to get eyes off her. She'd noticed Nelly was shooting fierce looks like her. But that was normal. She was just an obsessed psycho who hadn't gotten a touch of her real self yet. But that was not it. Amaya had been acting strange too. Which was worrisome. She decided she'd trash it out with her, whatever it was, as soon as returned from seeing Tommy. Tommy asked to meet up. Of course no one in her shoes would have agreed to meet a man that was in the hunting book of Damian. A man that was a horror to her But as he'd always done, Tommy had threatened her. He'd sworn to never let her be free. How much longer would he use her?Reporting Damian’s movement wasn't enough and now he wanted to meet her. Her body stiffened as the memories flooded in. His hands on her, the feel of him inside her. She hated that he used her as much as he pleased and hated herself for offering herself to him. She was disgusted every time he touched her, every single time he spun her and rammed
“You won't be going.”Damian was startled by a voice as he dropped the call. Without turning, his senses provided him the answer. “I have to save her and stop that bastard from hurting more people,” he said as he finally turned around. Nelly flared up. “No. You won't. Why would you save someone like her? She betrayed you!”“You don't know for sure. Those words came from Nello. She is not the most innocent person. She could be lying.”“What would she gain from that?”“What did she gain by betraying her friend?” He made to walk past but Nelly blocked him. “Still, you shouldn't go…” her voice was pleading. “I–I can't bear to see you get hurt. I would go crazy. It would kill me.”Damian observed her. Then he sighed. He was thinking Nelly had gotten over her crush on him but it seemed she hadn't. He held her shoulders. “Look Nelly, I cannot allow Tommy to be roaming around my Pack before people get hurt. I must catch him.”“I never said he should be allowed to live. I want him dead more t
Tommy tied up Alpha Kael and Blackridge after making them surrender. To save their lives, they'd agreed to let him use some of their men as he demanded. “You have lost, Tommy. You will never win,” Kael gritted as he sat with his back tied together with Blackridge:s back. Tommy laughed at him. “No Kael. I have not lost and I will not lose. I will make sure of that.”Blackridge suddenly burst into laughter eliciting a deep frown from Tommy. After some time, he stopped. “You are still delusional. You will never win Damian. You are a fuvking loser!”“Is that what you hope?” Tommy asked with a chuckle. Well, he could understand. They were helpless at the moment and their only hope would be hoping that Damian saved their arse. “What did you do to Balus?” Kael asked. Tommy's lips looped as he briefly recalled how it happened. “He was a senseless fool with a lot of pride. Friendly advice. Try not to end up like him.”“You are a bastard! You are a fucking monster!”Tommy ignored their rant
AMAYA’S POV “Make sure to take her back safely,” Damain ordered the guard and darted off. “Wait! What's going on?” I yelled. How could he just leave me here and dash off without saying anything? I was going after him when I stumbled on a stone I hadn't seen and plummeted to the ground. My eyes became heavy and hazy. Things grew blurry and all of a sudden, several voices echoed in my head at once. I shut my eyes and a serious headache attacked me. Different kinds of memories bombarded me, it made my head ached. I could see the guard before me. His head had grown double and his mouth was moving. He was saying things but I only heard muffles. I passed out. I woke up an hour later and found myself in my room. Surrounded by faces I recognized. I panicked. “You are awake,” the doctor said. She was the same doctor that treated me before. “Are you okay?” she asked. “Yes…yes.” I tried to get up but realized the spot I knocked my foot against the rock was wounded. I groaned receiving hel
“No… Uncle…don't say anything please…”“Damian, I killed your father.”Damian felt his throat dry up immediately. For a moment, his ribs neither took in any air nor expelled any. Silent turmoil over took him.He'd already suspected this was what his uncle was going to confess. He'd dreaded it and tried to avoid hearing it. But in the end he couldn’t stop the truth from being the truth. He looked away as a stray tear slipped down his face. “I won't ask for your forgiveness… I don't deserve it…”“Why? Why did you do it?” his voice was raw and his amber eyes had darkened. A surge of anger made him shake inside. “I wanted him to approve a new law. I killed someone but it was all by mistake, I swear it. It was never intentional. Before that night, the news was already set to break out in the Pack. All I wanted was for your father to protect me as his brother.”“You wanted him to hide you!” His emotions went loose. Uncle Griffin closed his eyes and silently cried. “Yes, you are right. I w
