Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Whisked Away
Vera"I am sorry… I can't do…" I slurred but the man grabbed my arm and with an enormous force, he flung me away. I landed a few distance from him and within a twinkle of an eye he was standing before me again."You are sorry because you can't do it? Don't you get it? You don't have a choice here!" The man yelled. He dragged me up again and glared ferociously into my eyes. I knew there was no second chance for me.A rattling noise filled the air. Within a twinkle of an eye, it graduated from a low noise to a loud noise. The man began to shift. I was about to be gored by an angry wolf. I felt an adrenaline rush in my blood, it drowned my weakness for a moment and my energy spiked like liquid hot lava.Either in my human form or wolf form, I didn't stand a chance against him. So I didn't care to shift. I just stood there with his minions closing in on me. Their swords were set before them and I wondered why they were doing this. Just one of them could snap my neck and it would be over.

VeraAs the horse tore through the wild, pain rocked my body and I groaned relentlessly. Despite the pain, I still felt safe to be away from my killers. Although I wasn't totally safe! I was whisked away by strangers! They might be another set of abusers who wanted to take advantage of me. As far as I was concerned, I had become a pawn in a conspiracy that was way beyond me.With my adrenaline gone, I felt feeble like a reed. Fatigue like a fitting cloak descended on me and I could hardly keep my eyes open. Gradually, my vision became dim and I lost control. We were still in the wild when I lost consciousness. When I came around, I was lying on the floor in a familiar basement. It was the secret basement where I used to have my training with Killan and Fred.This is Killan's property. How did I get here? My saviours brought me here? If that was the case, Killan and Fred weren't my saviour. If they were, they wouldn't rescue me and dump me here.As I struggled to rise to my feet, I he

Vera"Just take it cool with yourself. It's a miracle that you are standing on your feet already," Killan warned as I flung my swords without direction. It's been a few days since I had come around and I was going crazy because I had lost my moves. Killan and Fred complained that I was pushing myself too hard but I just couldn't take it. The wounds I had on my arms were almost healed up but they made it difficult to wield a sword and they wanted me to just sit, lazing around."They won't just get better, I have to train with them," I fired back as usual and I was surprised that Killan responded. He had never responded before."You are over-exerting them. Do you think that is rehabilitation? Nah! You could cause more harm than good.""Really? You should have told me earlier," I mouthed and dropped the swords fearfully. Killan chuckled and I charged at him."If you are lying to me, I will kill you," I yelled, aiming to punch him."You are still exerting your arm, stubborn chick," he ca

JoashJenny was not my mate but were childhood buddies together with Pete. She had been a good companion throughout the years. She loved me and stood by me through thick and thin. She wasn't someone I wanted to hurt.I didn't feel anything special towards her but I was devoted to her and compelled to love her. She was gentle, kind and most importantly she trusted me. Since I didn't believe in chosen mate, I decided to go for her. She couldn't refuse my offer as she was already smitten by me.Over the past few weeks, I had come to agree that there was a strong difference between love and devotion. Although I wouldn't admit it, I seemed to have fallen in love with Vera Clams. Not that I wanted to pursue the feeling but it was there. Or how can I explain the searing feeling I began to have after making Vera leave?It all began two days after Vera was rescued. Instead of Derrick, one of my guards came with the report. It was an elaborate report about Vera's abduction.I got to know that s

VeraTraining was a great diversion for me and not only a great diversion, it was also needed in my course. I had fully recovered and I had lost count of the days. After my recovery, I trained so hard and Killan couldn't stop me.He acted like a big brother. No, like a babysitter and I didn't like it. But he was also my instructor and I had no choice. As I advanced in training, we began to spar and had duels. Of course, he always won, but Fred always got beaten up. Beating up Fred seemed to be a great achievement for me but I knew it was just the beginning. Fred was a small fry.I achieved one thing that had become my dream on the day that I won against Killan. At first, I thought it was because he went soft on me, but the shock in his eyes proved my victory.I rose up from the dust and he pulled me into his embrace. "You have finally emerged," he muttered, kissing me on the forehead."Perhaps, I could fulfil your fantasy and succeed where Fred failed… you are so alluring…" he cupped

VeraLeaving Fred and Killan was harder than I had thought. I had built a life around them and with their help, I was able to achieve the first part of my dream. Without power, I can't achieve anything.We shared a parting hug and they finally let me go. "Common! Why are you all gloomy? It's not a funeral and It's not like I am going to die or something," I put up a bold front and walked away from them in tears. I was going back to being Alpha Joash's maid. It had never been easy and I knew it would never be. Danger lurks ahead. When I got back to my room and opened the door, I expected to see it dusty and dirty. I had deserted it for about a year, but surprisingly, it was clean. The maids must have been sent to clean it up.What the heck is Alpha Joash up to? All that had transpired between us flashed through my head and I wondered what facing him again after a long time would look like. I still had my fears, but I was also enthusiastic! Partly because I wanted to see what it would

VeraDespite his drunken state, the artist was an expert. Although we finished late, his creation was mesmerising. Despite my fading memory of the man's face, the resemblance between the drawing and the man's face was uncanny. Staring at it sent shivers down my body.When we were done we were called to brunch and after that, the artist was released. I made my way down to the Alpha's office, but Alpha Joash wasn't there. I breathed in relief and returned to stay in my corner. He must have gone for some official duties and was probably joking about the sparring. It would be condescending for someone of his status to spar with me.A guard walked in and summoned me, "His Highness, awaits you in his chambers." What? His chambers? I wasn't expecting that!I swallowed my surprise and followed him. I remembered the night that he was drunk and invited me to pour his drink. It ended in a disaster. Just the thought of it made me shrink. As I followed the guard I felt insecure. All the enthusi

JoashI stood transfixed, looking at Vera as she walked away. That was an incredible performance! It's been a long time since I had seen such an incredible performance.I smiled widely, anticipating the next day's game. Although I still had some residual fear in me, it was from earlier when I almost struck her. It was too late when I realized that she couldn't dodge the hit. If I had struck her with that force, I was sure that she wouldn't be able to survive it. Saving her was just because luck was on my side, I thought I had lost her. I quit sparring with my men because of such accidents. Many years ago, during my rising, most of my men died accidentally in my hands during sparring My heart still tingled from the memory that I almost killed her, but the most wonderful part was saving her. When I crash-landed on her, I heard the crazy sound of her heartbeat. It felt like it was beating for me.Relishing the memories and anticipating for the next day, I left the training range. I was

VeraWhen I came around, it was daytime. The sun seeped in through the blinds, lighting up the whole place.I looked at the strange room and bed then it all came back rushing. My mate saved the day and I was back in my pack. I was in the palace clinic. And I was treated.I didn't know how many days I had spent there, but I felt refreshed and energetic like never before.“You have come around,” Fred’s voice boomed and he walked in with a white lab coat and oversized glasses hanging on his nose “Nice to meet you. I am doctor Fred. Yuu sure have a long life!”“Get the hell out of here. Get my mate and get me some food. I am desperately hungry,” “Your wish is my command, Luna Vera,” he responded.The door flicked open and my mate walked in. Behind him were two maids. One with a try and a filled tea cup. The other was with a covered dish.Seeing them reminded me of my days of little beginnings. When I served tea in uniform and I was manipulated by forces that I didn't even recognise. It

It's been two days since we laid Silas to rest. I was just returning from his side when Derrick rushed towards me.“Your Highness!” Derrick yelled and fell before. He looked disgruntled and apprehensive.“Your Highness! It is lady Vera!” He trembled. I wanted to disregard him as usual but his theatrics somehow got to me so I gave him an audience.“What is it about her? Do you know where she is? If she wants to talk, she knows the palace.“I am sorry your Highness. I didn't let her Ladyship out of my sight since she left the battlefield… She was in critical condition and had nowhere to go. Targon had been with her all along…“Traitors!” I yelled angrily.“Why are you telling me this now? I guess you need my help…”“Her Highness’ condition has worsened. Her wounds were not well treated. They festered and have become life threatening.“You bastard! Why are you just telling me this now? Where is she!?

Saved by the Ruthless Alpha I'm dying, let Joash know
JoashI declared myself as the interim Alpha King and all packs that were under my father's rule answered to me. It's been two weeks of renovations and realignment. I released most of my father's prisoners who were unlawfully detained.I also dissolved his chain of concubines that were locked up in his quarters. I set them all free and they went their own ways. I had the remnant of my people relocated to the palace while we began to renovate the moonlight pack that was demolished.I clenched my fists when I remembered what Silas said my father would have done if I had died and Vera lived. What abomination!?Everything was falling into place except Vera. I felt her connection as she tried to link me up on Steve's occasions but I shut her out of my head. Until she decides to return on her own accord I wasn't going to entertain any discussion with her. It was a special day. The day I had set aside to lay Silas' body to rest. I wanted him to lay beside Pete but at the same time it felt

VeraMy body seemed to be shutting down and the closest place for me to hide was the Shifters pack. This time, I didn't give a damn about my connection with the pack. I stumbled in through one of its openings and threw myself on the floor. Blood trickled down different cuts on my body and I felt feverish. To cap it up, I began to hear some rustling in the bush just behind me.Whoever it was, I didn't care. I just laid sprawled on the floor, waiting for whatever was coming. I had resisted all along and I was tired.I laid there but nothing happened. I must have heard wrongly, I said to myself and put my mind at ease.I was beginning to doze off when I heard the sound of swords. Someone was coming to attack me while the other must have shown you to defend meWho could that be? Targon? Did beta Derrick send someone after me? I let it all go as I was too weak to think. Slowly, my eyes closed up and I drifted into slumber while the sound of combat continued in the background until it was
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha The Price of Victory
DerrickThere in my hideout, I watched all that transpired in the King's camp. How Silas was killed and how Alpha Joash took the advantage of the distraction to get his father.Silas death was a painful one, but it wasn't my place to cast blame. It was proper to say that he sacrificed himself for the course that he believed in. He wanted his father's demise. When I saw the opening, I fired a twin arrow that took the King down. I couldn't let him slip out of our fingers again. We have had enough. Vera was caught up in the whole saga and I couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. The guilt in her eyes after she realized what she had done was heart rendering. I hope she forgives herself and that her mate won't hold it against her. It was an understandable misconception.After the cruel King took his last breath, I and the two other men who were with me burst into the camp. We dealt mercilessly with the soldiers who were planning to strike back after their King's unexpected death.They

Joash A twin arrow flew past me and landed on my father's back. I recognised them immediately. They were arrows from my men. Derrick! I muttered and didn't bother to find him.I looked behind me and my gaze settled on Vera. With a cold glare in her eyes, she threw another dart. I tried to deflect it, but I missed. I stood there and watched helplessly as the poisoned dart flew past my father's arm, cutting through it.“Aha….” Father groaned and tumbled to the ground with Silas’ body still hanging in his arms. He turned over his shoulders and looked at me. A proud laughter escaped his lips with blood sipping out by the sides“ We are not different! You used me against my son and my son against me. I will haunt…”“I call you Father,” I said, swallowing hard.“I'm not your father! You bastard! A son can never kill his father!” He continued to blabber but I had regained myself. I picked up his sword and slashed him on the neck. Silas’ body tumbled out of his arms as he held his neck a

JoashThe dart that came from behind almost cut Vera's neck but it didn't. I could tell that it was thrown by a skillful archer. Not until it landed, I didn't realise the target. The target was one of my father's men who had almost released an arrow to take me out.My eyes widened as I realized what was to come. Drinking the toxic wolfsbane was just a show, my father had another plan in mind. He wanted to take me out all at once. Just like Silas said. My death indeed has nothing to do with Vera's salvation. Wait. Who threw the dart? Is it Silas? Did he just save me?One of Vera’s darts landed on the bottle of wolfsbane in my grip, shattering the bottle. The second dart flew past me, I didn't know its destination.“Aha!!!” I yelled as the wolfsbane from the bottle spilled. It splattered in my hand and body, burning me up. I groaned in pain.“Who dares!?” My father thundered and stood up from his seat. No one knew it was Vera except me. Father grunted as he saw the man who was suppose

JoashA heart rending pain squeezed my heart and my vision turned red. It felt really hard to breathe and I coughed out loud. My body felt sore and I felt all that Vera was possibly feeling.With my hands still lifted up, I rose up to my feet and took heavy steps down the hills.“Do not go with me!” I gritted and Derrick stopped.“We have your back,” he barked.“Don't do anything silly,” I grunted and continued down the hill.“Don't come, mate. Save yourself,” Vera's whisper distilled into my mind.“Shut it!” Argh! That wasn't what I was supposed to say. “You wait for me. I'm coming to get you,” I said to her and shut her out of my mind.Just then, a weary but familiar voice broke into my head. It was Silas. “You fool. Hasten up. Come get you girl before it is too late. Father is a mas dog. If you stall for a second, he will kill her,” he said.“You loser! You should have kept her safe but you lost her.” My heart skipped a beat as I descended from the hills. Two soldiers grabbed m

The sound of battle on top of the hills ceased. I heard Derrick and my men shout if victory. It implied that the battle has been won and the King has stopped sending in troops. Now, this marked the beginning of my battle with my father. I remained there waiting for Derrick's summons. And all I could think about was Vera. How sweet my reunion with her would be. I was lost in thought when I heard Derrick's voice.“Your Highness,” He called me out of my reverie.I sprang up to my feet immediately, all dreams vanished out of my head.Derrick was bathed with blood. The look in his eyes broke my heart. I knew what it meant. It meant most of our men were slain.I rose up and parted his shoulder. I have been there before. I knew how it feels to lose one's men. Moreover this is our loss, not his alone.“How many are remaining?” I asked “Five,” he whispered.“It will be fine,” I said and climbed up the hills.“Victory at last.” I cheered him up.Suddenly a cry of joy sounded from my father's
