Joash

The clock continued ticking and I remained on the bed planning my escape. Killan soon left again. That bastard, he had been leaving his post since morning and I wondered what he was up to. Anyway, the better it was for me.

After he had left, most of the guards who were in my room walked out to continue their discussion, leaving only one guard behind.

I maintained my cool until the guard stopped pacing the room and was absent-minded. Without making any sound, I bulgedong him with a flower vase that was within my reach.

As the vase shattered, I froze thinking that others would hear it but they were too consumed by their discussion and none of them acted.

As the soldier's unconscious body began to fall, I steered my partially stiff body towards him, stopping his free fall.

With a silent grunt, I put him on the floor and dragged him to a corner where I hid his body. It wasn't an easy feat as I still felt feeble and I hadn't used my muscles for a while. Every movement was painful b

    JoashThe moment that Derrick returned, I turned at him looking earnestly."My lord, l am afraid… Vera has joined the Shifter's pack, in defence against the enemy."What!?""Yes. The intruders are not the rogue wolves, but Alpha Woods of the Riverside Pack. Their soldiers had already infiltrated the pack in the guise of helping Blake, so the attack was easy."Gather my elite men! We are going into battle!""Your Highness…""Now! I have to save my girl!" I thundered and marched out of the office."My girl?" That was a new development!VeraI gasped as I surveyed the battlefield. The gossipers in the Moonlight pack were wrong. Blake wasn't attacked by rogue wolves but by Laura and her father.I saw their soldiers thrusting swords into the heart of everything that came their way. There were no rogue wolves around, but men from the Riverside Pack.If I didn't have my last encounter with Laura, I would have doubted what was happening. That bitch! This must have been her plan from the onset

    JoashMy horse prowled briskly as I rode out of the ruins. Blake was standing by the way with his head bowed. He was quaking and knotting as I rode towards him."I warned you!" I thundered." Didn't I? This is just the beginning. They won't cease until they get what they want!""I will take to your advice, I will abdicate…""No way! It's too late already! You should have done it earlier! Count me out! What they did will channel the rogue wolves... Prepare for another attack. It will be incessant until they invade your pack completely. You are now a feast between the Rogues and the Riverside Pack…"I stopped my horse right before him in front of his chambers where he was waiting. The few guards who were with me all halted at my command as he walked towards me."Your Highness…" he muffled his voice and lifted up his head. He looked weary and regret filled his eyes.I don't take pity on arrogant bastards like him. Ignoring his sombre look, I turned around, looking at the pathetic backdro

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   Blake's Confession

    VeraI dragged my knees up to my chest and wound my arms around my legs as I watched Alpha leave. Seeing him leave was a great relief.How did it all get to this? Right in this chamber, I was an innocent girl, who found her mate and they were madly in love. Until my father's betrayal! His madness brought me here! I continued to sob and the door flung open as soon as it was shut. My heart rumbled in my chest. Why is he back? I thought he left. Fear stricken, I closed my eyes, waiting for another endless saga, until a different scent wafted into my nose.Blake's familiar scent hit my nose and my heart fluttered in disappointment. Wait! Was I really expecting that monster to come back for me? No way. But I wasn't expecting Blake either.I lifted my head to confirm that it was him. Well, I was right I have never missed his scent. He hovered over me, and pulled me up by my shoulders, avoiding my cuts. He made me stand and steadied my gait. I felt light and swayed side to side but I endu

    JoashI paced the hallway and raked my fingers through my hair as I rehearsed my encounter with Vera. Nothing went my way any time she was in the picture. It wasn't supposed to end that way, I beat myself up.I wanted to comfort her. I wanted to tell her all is well. I wanted to hold her and tell her my mind. I wanted to tell the truth about her father's felony and most importantly I wanted to tell her how I felt about her. But my anger got the best of me.When I saw how tattered she looked, it made it more real to me, I would have lost her in the just concluded war… She just recovered for goodness sake! My fear and anger got the best of me and I … gosh! I clenched my fist and rammed it into the wall."Your Highness!" Derrick yelled but I ignored him.Hearing that she had succumbed to fate, lost the trust in her father and was willing to sacrifice herself broke my heart. I just went through hell to save her ass but she wanted to throw it all away. The most disheartening news was when

    VeraWhen the maids were done with me, they led me out. I flinched as I found Blake and Alpha Joash waiting outside. I couldn't look at either of them. Seeing Blake made me blush, reminding me of what we just had while Alpha Joash was as cold as steel. I just bowed to greet both of them and followed Derrick who beckoned me.I managed to look at Blake for the last time and I walked away. We were almost walking out of the hallway when he suddenly called."Vera!" His voice rocked my heart and I stopped. He walked closer to me and pulled me into his embrace. "I don't give a damn about what you think. I won't give up on you," he whispered and began to kiss me."My Alpha!" I yelled and pushed him away. He looked stiff and cold and when I followed his gaze, it landed on Alpha Joash, he was staring coldly at him. Alpha Joash did nothingI just bowed before him and walked away. What is he even thinking… There is nothing between Alpha Joash and me… Even if there is, he can't go against Alpha Jo

    VeraWithout saying any words, he continued with the skinship and set my body on fire until we entered the Moonlight Pack. We were on an unfamiliar part of the pack but I could see the apex of the Alpha's chambers from the horse. He brought the horse to a halt and dismounted. His arms were immediately spread out to me and I allowed him. I could reject his offer.He caught me in his arms and didn't let me down. He held me so close that I heard the throbbing beat of his chest. His face came closer and closer and I thought he was going to kiss me. Again memories of him chewing my lips popped up and I closed my eyes. Instead of a kiss, I heard him scoff and my feet landed on the floor.What was I expecting? I beat myself and shut my eyes. When I opened my eyes, he held my hand and began to lead me away.JoashHer small hand fitted into mine as we walked away from the horse. Looking down at it sent chills down my body. All I felt was bliss. My wolf felt happier. It seemed he was waitin

    VeraMy eyes shone wide as he kissed me. It all felt like a dream. So I just held myself against the wall with my eyes closed, gazing at what he was doing to me. At first, I was afraid. I thought he was going to chew out my lips, but it felt so different this time. He kissed me softly, adoring each petal of my lips. Slowly he came harder, ravaging my lips and delving into my mouth. I still couldn't believe what was happening. Raw emotions walked through my face and every nerve in my body was set on fire. His hands delved behind my head and he continued to kiss me. It was a sweet course and I couldn't keep it low any more. Afraid to call out his name I muttered in my head, "My Alpha…"Just like he heard me, he stopped and I thought I had irritated him. Although I didn't know how far he wanted to go with what he started, I hadn't had enough. Breaking all the alarms going off in my head, I launched out my arms and wound it around his neck. His blue eyes darkened. He looked fierce and

    JoashWith one last and powerful thrust, I spilled into her and I felt her inside clenching around my already flaccid shaft. We climaxed simultaneously. The feeling and satisfaction was priceless.She was wild and I liked it. I pulled her up, laid her back on the couch and kissed her on the forehead. I undid her blind and we both lay there breathing hard.After a few minutes, she was already dozing off, so I carried her into my arms. Her eyes popped open immediately. At first, she looked frightened and alarmed, she stared at me in confusion but when realisation dawned on her, she shut her eyes and hid away from me. I chuckled and held her against my chest like a prized possession and carried her into the bathroom. We had a cold bath and after that, I carried her into the bedroom. Her eyes closed up as soon as she landed on the bed. A part of me felt like she was faking it because she was embarrassed to face me. Smiling hard, I sat beside her and continued to watch her sleep.

    JoashAt first, when I perceived Vera's scent in my subconscious, I was happy. I had been hanging on, wondering why she hadn't shown up since I ended up in thus state. I thought she had left me again. But all my fears melted away when she suddenly showed up, crying her eyes out.Her regrets, confessions and profession of love were sweet. They transcended into my subconscious mind and kept me going. All I wanted was to return to her, hold her in my arms, tell her that I had forgiven her naughtiness, clean up her tears and make her know that all that matters was that she wanted me now.In my unconscious state, I couldn't keep a record of time and my subconscious floated in space.At some point something changed, affecting my subconscious existence.

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   Blake's madness

    It was a long day and the sun was almost setting. I hadn't gone to check on Alpha Joash since I left his room in the morning.After speaking with Fred, a glimpse of my past flicked through my eyes and I was taken down memory lane. I was just a maid until the mating ceremony between I and His Highness. I guess that was why I was treated like a Queen when I returned. What if the mating ceremony didn't take place? I would have returned to continue my life as a maid.Power and luxury is intoxicating. Despite the aftermath of the ruins, I enjoyed the privileges of a queen. Everyone treated me with respect, my words had effects and they were prioritized.My emotions were high and I just kept a low profile all day. Now that it was evening, I was planning to go see His Highness when I heard a soft knock."Your Highness! Targon seeks to be in your presence," a guard announced."Oh! Targon, let him come in," I responded and signalled to the maids to leave.The door opened and Targon walked in

    Vera"Where the heck is this place? Am I a prisoner here?" I charged at the guard who now stood rigidly against Blake's door. The guard remained unfazed and ignored me. Seeing that my ranting wouldn't yield any result, I let him be and retired to my bed. I should conserve my strength."Think, Vera," I muttered to myself. I needed to escape from this hell hole, but how? I didn't even know where we were and how to navigate.I remembered the dangerous steep wall and the tunnel. How do I get to safety? I tried to mind-link my mate but all I felt was blankness. I must be far away from him.Blake then came to my mind again. Hatred surged up within me immediately. But I had to convince myself, I needed him now. If we escaped together, he might know how to navigate…But as sweet as the idea was it was still dangerous! Escaping with Blake with his level of injury was almost impossible. Moreover, who knows where he would lead me after getting him out of here?"Argh! Where are those bastards w

    JoashSwords clanked, arrows danced and gunshots rocked the air as the combat peaked. The few soldiers who escaped the explosion battled hard with my men, but they couldn't beat us.Either way, they were going to die. They either die at my hands or die at my father's hands for losing me. Their fate was decided since they were assigned to this battle.Derrick and I pounced out of our hiding places alongside our subordinates. We charged along the open space making us visible to the enemies.Seeing me, they went mad! Yes, I was their target and it was their chance. Their strength doubled and they attacked without mercy.While they battled with my men to get through to me, I dodged every shot, dart, dagger, and arrow that came my way. Simultaneously, I fired my muskets, taking some of them down while Derrick and the two men who were with us covered me on every side. Speed was an essential tool, our enemies were well-trained but we outshone them with our incredible speed.In a brief moment

    SilasMy heart bled as I peeked at the ex-lovers. Having them together was more intense and heated than I had thought. I felt sorry for them, they were caught in a web of conspiracies and were victims of circumstances.What if the adults did their job? What if they weren't greedy? Those two might have been together and their love would have blossomed.When Vera accepted Blake's rejection, I saw him quake and my heart bled. The tiny bit of humanity that bound them together was shed off. In that instance, the anger in Vera's eyes turned murderous. Blake became nothing but one of the bastards that she wanted to kill to avenge her parents' death. But with a brave restraint, she stopped herself and walked out on him."Vera!!!" He yelled her name but she was done.Love has always been complicated. As for me, I had seared my emotions and love was out of the picture. No love, no fated mate, just the throne!Heaving a sigh, I lifted the lid to the dungeon to return to my bedroom. I wanted to d

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   An Upper Hand

    JoashMy assertion was right. My father's men hadn't shown up and it was almost sunset.It was our gain and his loss this time. It afforded my men and me enough time to bond. Apart from the bond, Derrick and I discovered each man's expertise.We paired them into groups. We also formed our rules and different combat strategies and hacks that we needed to win the battle.Normally, I would have expected that my father would send just a few of his men since he knew that I was a small fry and had lost everything. But I didn't want to take chances. Since it was about me, Father wouldn't hesitate to empty his entire army to come after me.One of our strategies was to maintain different positions. We also had potent leaves stuck to our bodies as camouflage and also to conceal our scents. By Twilight, we were already set. We had assumed strategic locations. Each man with the weapons he knew how to use best.I and Derrick were stationed at the entrance, but he wasn't with me. We were stationed

    SilasI knew when Vera and my men arrived. I was well informed about the journey from the beginning till they entered my underground chambers through the tunnel. The path through the tunnel was an alternative route known to me and a few of my men.After I left the palace in the morning, I tried the link up with Joash all through the day but he wasn't responsive. The bastard was ignoring me whilst I wanted to know what the hell was going on in his head.I was up till past midnight and I heard Vera when she entered the room where Blake was locked up. I had not seen him since I visited him and broke his nose.I was sentimental at first and I wanted to stop my plan of making the ex-lovers meet but I changed my mind. Their meeting could be pivotal to my backup plan.I wanted to watch what was about to go down to pick my cues. So softly and gently, without alarming anyone I climbed down through the stairs and stood at the vantage position from where I watched.As I looked at Vera, all I saw

    SilasI sat on the ground in father's yard with Kepler all night until the rising of the sun. It was about time that my father resumed his office. I thought Kepler would go in to fix his duty but he didn't leave. He stayed with me until I heard my father walking out and fully ready to resume the day's assignment."Long live, oh King! Long live,Your Highness!" The palace workers greeted and I turned around. Father was fully dressed in his kingly regalia and was strolling out of his chambers. The first set of assignment everyday was his morning patrol."Your Highness," I greeted with my forehead kissing the floor."Take him to the courtroom," he ordered without looking my way.Kepler left with my father while two other guards carried out my father's instructions. They dragged me down to the court room like I were a criminal.They threw me in but I landed on my feet. Father's seat was empty as he hadn't returned from his patrol. Why is father doing this to me?

    VeraI was led into a clean room where an array of maids were waiting for me. My guards had disappeared and there were a new set of guards waiting for me.I threw myself towards the bed, but before I hit the bed two maids rushed towards me. Skillfully, they dragged me away from the bed and began to unclad me.My clothes were full of filth and grime, they were stinking. I wondered why I didn't notice this earlier, but now that I noticed, I was too tired to clean up. "Get your hands off me!" I yelled at them and threw one of them on the floor."Enough!" One of the guards commanded as the other maids rushed at me. He walked towards me, lifted me up and helped me back to the bed. "She is tired. Let her get a first round of sleep before working on her," the guard commanded.Some of the maids were dispersed and I flung my tired body on the bed.I shut my eyes and sleep carried me into the dream land.When I woke up I felt a little disappointed, the sleep didn't last as long as I had expe
