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

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. I began to fade away. All that I thought that I was holding onto, thinned out and I was all alone in a dark abyss. At that point, I had given up. I couldn't hold on anymore and I knew death was around the corner. I couldn't see nor feel my

Vera's POVIt was Saturday morning and I was ready for my morning jog. I walked briskly into the sitting room to greet my parents as usual."Mother. Good morning." Mother turned around at the sound of my voice. With a big smile plastered on her face, she walked closer to me and hugged me. Just then my father walked out of his room, he must have heard my voice too. “Father…” I greeted but the main door burst open and my words died in my throat.Startled, I turned in the direction of the door only to be greeted with the sight of an angry Alpha Simpson. Behind him were half a dozen guards who were holding their swords with menacing looks.“Your Highness…" My parents and I saluted with a curt bow.“Keep your greetings, you traitors!” Alpha Simpson yelled and I veered backwards in surprise. Turning in the direction of my parents, I discovered they were also staring at him with confused looks on their faces. My father, the Beta of the Shifters Pack, took a step forward and said with a calm

Vera's POVThe nearer I walked towards Blake's room, the more painful my pain was, but I wasn't deterred. As I pushed myself along, I wondered what was happening to me.The urgency of my assignment propelled me and I ignored my pain. In no time, I was standing in front of Blake's room.Without knocking, I pushed the door open and my eyes fluttered crazily as I entered the dimly lit room. I heard hushed voices. One was Blake's and the other was feminine. My heart beat fast as I brought my vision to focus."Blake…" I was just about to call when I heard Blake's cozy voice."Laura…I have missed you… hmm!" Blake's voice was followed by a light crackle and soft smacking of lips. Laura? My eyes widened and I covered my mouth in shock. That bitch!"You're sweet baby… hmm," Laura groaned, breathing sweetly. "Honey, I need you to fill me now, " Laura begged, opening her legs wider.I could see them clearly now. Their naked bodies rammed into each other rhythmically and I staggered backwards.L
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Banishment
Vera's POVIt's been a week since my parents' unexpected demise. The images of their shredded bodies haunted me day and night and I couldn't bring myself to eat nor sleep. I languished in a corner of my cottage, crying day and night.Revenge burned inside of me like burning embers of coals, but my misery was eating me up. Realising I had to get back on my feet, I pushed myself up. I took a bold step out of my cover and the sun rays bathed my damp body.My strength was gone and I took baby steps until I could manage to start erect. My stomach burned with hunger and I clutched it tightly. I wished I could defy nature and burst out on an empty stomach to fix my mess, but it was all a dream, I needed to eat.I dragged myself into the pack house. Remembering that I must not be caught, I avoided the palace."I can do any kind of work, please hire me," I muttered, knocking at every door but I got nothing. Everyone shut their doors as soon as they saw me. Tears fell from my eyes as I realised
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha A face off with Killers
Vera's POV What!? I was spared! We can live! I yelled at Viola, my wolf, but she whimpered sorrowfully. My happiness vanished immediately as realisation dawned on me. I was dragged out of my house and now I belong to no pack. I knew no other pack apart from the Shifters Pack where I grew up. Does that mean I just become a wolf without a pack? I just became a rogue wolf! My heart pounded in my chest. I didn't know the ways of the rogues. All I knew was that they lurk around in the woods and they are saboteurs. Tears cascaded down my face as I made my way sluggishly out of the Pack mansion. I took a last look behind me and all that I had lost dazzled through my mind. "One day I will return and I will surely recover all that I had lost. I will avenge my parents and crush all those who crushed us," I muttered. "The chest!" I almost forgot. "I have to take it with me!" I turned around and rushed back to my cottage. I burst in and grabbed the chest. I smashed it angrily on the ground,
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Another Mate
Vera's POVSlowly, I rose on my feet and began to sway away. My route was in the paths within the woods, now that I knew that they were after my life, I couldn't be more cautious.The chest! I dropped it when I wanted to attack the wolf earlier. I can't leave it behind, I must get it! I looked behind me with determination. Turning around, I began to drag myself back. With each step, I felt weaker and my vision became more blurry, my bleeding wouldn't stop either. It wasn't an easy choice but I had to do it. Luckily, I found the chest. It was lying just a few inches from the body of the wolf that I had killed earlier. I flipped it up and my heart skipped a beat. It was cracked open and empty! This can't be!" I lamented looking around for the unknown contents. I was sure that it wasn't empty when I found it in my father's bedroom.No! I yelled out loud and stormed about as I began a search for it. Not too far from the chest, I saw a stack of neatly folded papers. I found you! My heart
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha He is a Monster
Awestruck, I staggered along as the guards dragged me on. My head rumbled in confusion and shock. How could this be? My chosen mate was a jerk and my second chance mate turned out to be my captor. He was no other person than the well-feared Alpha Joash! There was no escape from this. Loathing in the fury fire of hell would have been better! I was caught as a traitor and pieces of evidence were found on me. If all that I had heard about Alpha Joash was true, I did not stand a chance to come out of this alive, he would definitely kill me!"Viola…" I began to talk to my wolf but I was cut short as my back crashed against a rugged floor. The guards had hauled me into a tiny cell and thrown me on the floor. I groaned as pain sizzled down my spine. Shutting my eyes, my mind reverted to my father. I remembered all that he had taught me. He was my hero and his uprightness transcended my imagination. But things didn't add up… I raked my fingers through my hair as I remembered the letters aga

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
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Fight or Flight
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
