Joash

"Did she know? Did she know about my identity?" I asked myself as I walked back into my office.

Memories of the night when Pete found me popped up in my head.

Her involvement marked the end of my father's hunt. Many years ago when I was on the run from my father, he found me and I had been hiding in the woods for a few days, surrounded by my father and his men. I was trapped down like a rat in its hole and there was no escape for me.

I was on the edge and overly sensitive. I had thought that he was going to get me since there was no escape, but one night, I suddenly heard a rattling behind me. Despite my alertness, I didn't notice the movements until the intruder was close by.

I turned around swiftly, grabbed the intruder by the neck and pinned him to the ground with my dagger ready to strike.

"Brother!" The intruder screamed. Eyes bulging out of their sockets. They look familiar but I didn't care. When the intruder saw my murderous intent, she shook off the hoodie covering her

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   Another Duel

    JoashThe training range was hot as Killan and I engaged in a duel. It wasn't only a duel but a killer game. At first, Killan came softly at me not wanting to contend with me. But I wasn't in a good state of mind and I attacked him like he was an enemy. If this would lift my sore mood, it must be real, mind engaging and a good diversion.I knew his ability and I knew he could take whatever I bring. Apart from being a good diversion, I also wanted to measure his capabilities.When he realized that he was going to die by my hands, he fought back and at that point the fight became fierce, interesting and a good diversion.After a few minutes of a good fight, sweat rolled off our bodies, but it was just the beginning. Neither of us relented.At each point in the fight, different issues bounced off my head, Pete, Jenny, Vera, my real identity and some other official matters. As they came, they made me go wilder and my attack became wilder too.Killian was extremely good and dangerous but

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   Splash! Splash!! Splash!!!

    JoashIt's been a few days now. Vera was beginning to move her fingers but there hasn't been much improvement. Pete has spoken with Jenny but she hasn't come around. Derrick hasn't returned from his mission. I felt miserable and it sucks. I had to go see Jenny and I decided to go today.As usual, Pete dressed me up for the occasion. This time, she dressed me up differently, making me look irresistible. There was an unusual addendum to my outfit and I liked it. It was a regal sash with a silver background beautified with deep shades of blue that accentuated the light blue colour of my regalia. It was draped across my shoulders. The length ran down my chest with the tip almost touching the jewelled belt clenching my waist. It wasn't even my wedding day. I smiled, thinking about Pete's cunniness in bringing me back with Jenny.We set out very early and when it was almost noon I got to Jenny's Pack. She was the daughter of the pack's Beta. From afar, the Alpha had confirmed my directio

    Joash "Your Highness, your sash is wet, do you mind removing it?" Killan advised as I mounted on the horse."Let's go!" I commanded, ignoring his question. He took his position directly behind me and every other guard followed from behind as I made my out of the Pack Different thoughts raged in my head all through the ride back home. I felt sore and I couldn't help but laugh at myself. I had fought in different battles and conquered Packs and rogues, but I became a weakling because I couldn't make what seemed like a simple choice.What if Vera turned out dead, wouldn't it all be sorted? Just thinking about it alone felt so unacceptable. It felt like something that must not have happened and I wondered what I had been doing all year long trying to get rid of Vera. If I had, would I have turned miserable?When we got back to the pack, I didn't go to the office. I returned to my chambers to lay down to rest. I had a lot to think about and I was feeling weak.My weakness felt odd, but I

    JoashWhen I came around, I was in a dimly lit room. Yeah, it was one of my secret rooms and I was glad that the physician got my message. He was sitting beside my bed with just one of his maids. My bag of buffer was on one of the sofas and standing beside it was Derrick.Derrick? What the heck is he doing here?"I deserve to die, your Highness!" The physician fidgeted and fell on his knees as soon as he saw my eyes open. He just rescued my life, why is he saying that he deserved to die?"I mind-linked Beta Derrick to come around…I felt you would prefer his presence since…""Good…" I said weakly and tried to sit up."Not yet your Highness, you need to heal from the insides," he advised but I waved him aside while Derrick helped me up."What the heck happened to me?" I asked, resting my body weakly on the wall. I felt numb and my body was wrecked in pain. Groaning slightly, I position myself to get enough comfort."I am afraid, Your Highness… it was a special type of poison… thanks to

    JoashThe guard whom Derrick sent arrived bearing his message. "Killan is doing fine and keeping watch over Vera in the clinic. Here is the dress that you requested."The dresses were packaged and taken away by the royal physician while Derrick commanded one of his men to take out the physician's maid."I am so sorry about all this, Your Highness. It's because of my absence," Derrick apologised."Stop the blame game. How was the mission?" I asked."The henchman is still on standby. The king is yet to reach out to our target. However, on the first day, we caught wind of some men who were reinforcing an attack initially. They were men from the palace, But they turned back as soon as they realised that the captor was released and alive.""And the king?" "We are still waiting for him to make contact with him. He hasn't sent any message to him since his release."Are you sure?" I asked. doubtfully"Yes, Your Highness,""Have you seen him since his release?""No, but his place was bustling

    Vera"This isn't even an appreciable improvement," Fred mocked Killan as he examined me, checking my reflexes."Vera Clams, can you hear me? Fred asked but I remained rigid and didn't move. Although I still couldn't move or speak, I could hear. I didn't react in any way, the extent of my improvement was my little secret."You know what? I am gonna have to spank you when all this is over! You are such a pain in the ass… I've always said it," Fred said amusingly and shone a touch in my eyes. That was the most difficult part. I couldn't hold the urge to blink. I blinked in response and Killan, who had been studying me keenly beside Fred yelled."Did you see it? That was what I saw!" He exclaimed but Fred scoffed. "Common, that was just a reflex, she can't move and she can't even see us yet… Stop exaggerating it.""Anyways, we are progressing… I am glad that she is improving, I had thought we had lost her," Fred said."Alpha Joash will be glad to hear about this… I think I am free tonight

    JoashMy gait wasn't stable yet and I felt lightheaded. All thanks to the night, it hid me well from Pete's peering eyes."This isn't anything. I just needed to escape Pete's tea and Vera's news came just right in time. It's nothing but a good diversion!" I yelled at my wolf and plunged his excitement about seeing Vera into the mud. This is nothing but a diversion. I chanted to myself as I proceeded into Vera's ward.Killan was standing on guard, he bowed, greeting Pete and me as he led us in.Vera's eyes were wide open. But unlike before, she blinked as she saw me. Her eyes widened and something like fear was evident in themCan she make emotions already? Good. As I walked towards her I felt the dread in her eyes. She was afraid of something. Me? Good. I scoffed.I wasn't feeling too good, hovering over her wasn't good for me, it made me dizzy. So I just sat by her bed.My wolf whom I had tamed just before we walked in broke into zoomie moves, prancing happily in my head."Can you

But I can't continue to wallow in despair. I have to lead my people," I responded."Perhaps… you are happy because Vera is improving," she said and I caught her hands.Yeah, partially. Pete, you need to trust me. Vera means nothing to me. But unlike any other maid, I need her. I am going to use her and take advantage of her. I need her by my side ... I feel safe any time she is around me. I know why you detest her. She is a traitor, she is vile and evil, Yes! I detest her too. But I can't overlook how secure it feels any time she is around me. You know how we have lived, Pete, just this …""My Alpha! You just struck my heart. How can you say such things? Those who reference you, those who put their trust in you… they must not hear you say this! How can you say such a spineless girl makes you feel safe? You are a god, My Alpha, Ver

    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
