Vera

"My mate had been right about the twins all the while." The words echoed in my head as I walked away from the cell holdings.

The realization dawned on me like lightning. Fury and fighting skills are not enough to fight an enemy, the insight to see into an enemy's strategies is also crucial. Lesson learnt … in a hard way.

"Way to go, Vera," I said to myself as the sun rained down on me. Looking around, I realized that I had gone far.

I was just a stone's throw away from the river that led to our castle.

Good! The riverside will be colder. It's a nice place for brooding in this scorching heat… I hastened up.

It was quiet and eerie. I patted the hilt of the sword perched on my waist frequently as I proceeded. When we had enough manpower, I would have met enough guards and maids on my way. But I met no one.

How will I face my mate? The question dangled in my head, drawing me out of the odd silence that rocked the surroundings.

Like my mate heard me, his voice broke into my head. It

    VeraMy eyes flipped open slowly. It was the cool of the evening and my vision was hazy. I shut my eyes as torrents of pain rocked my body. The back of my head felt wet and hurt the most."Hmm," a light moan escaped my lips and I pushed up my hand to feel the pain in my head. Oops! My hand was stuck. I tried to lift the second one, but it was also stuck. Argh… I shut my eyes, relishing my pain.Wait, what the heck is going on? I came to my senses almost immediately. I flipped my eyes open again, scanning my surroundings."Viola, where are we?" I asked my wolf and I tried to lift my head. A series of events replayed in my head and I remembered it all. Alpha Woods!!!I couldn't tell how long I was out, but it was dusk already. The night was still young and with my wolf eyes, I could see perfectly well. After a close examination, I realized that my hands were chained down and there was no possibility of escaping.My mate… he should have come for me. Did he really not know that I had b

    VeraI fell to the ground and the rogue wolves continued to hit me. My back was upturned, shielding the other parts of my body. The swords hanging down the rogues' waists shone in the already dark evening making my heart flutter."Run! Vera, run." My wolf continued to cry. "Well… until there is an opening, there is no way to get out of this," I squeaked in pain as I tried to look for loopholes.Suddenly, Alpha Woods Yelled, "Stop!!!" He screeched from the background. The urgency in his voice was surprising.Why did he want them to stop? Isn't this what he wanted?"This is not the bargain we had! I want her to be delivered to Alpha Jason in one piece!" He yelled louder. "Even if Alpha Jason seeks to have my head, my gift to him should not be tainted!" He bickered.A chilling laughter broke out from the rogue wolves. Slowly, a faction of them broke away from me and began to encircle Alpha Woods.I didn't know what was going on but this seemed to be the moment that I had been waiting f

    VeraMy chest throbbed loudly and my heart was literally in my mouth. With a bloody sword fitted to my fist and Alpha Woods' blood dripping down my face, I ran through the darkness.A countless number of rogues sped behind me like a horde from hell. I knew I couldn't outrun them but I didn't stop, I kept running, hoping for a miracle.Each time I rubbed Alpha Woods' blood down my face, l laughed like a madman. The scene of my parents' decapitation painted my memory and I cried and laughed at the same time.My worst horror came when an arrow flew past me, I had been distracted by my thoughts. Flying arrows? It will be my undoing. It will get me down in no time.The arrows came incessantly and instead of panic, I focused on my escape. I had to change my style. A face-off with the rogues was out of it, it would be a suicide mission. There were many of them and I didn't stand a chance.I continued to run but instead of running straight, I began to dive through trees. It reduced my speed,

    Alpha JoashAlthough we were just fifty in number, the task of evacuating everyone to safety made it difficult for Targon and Derrick to stop me.I undid my horse's knots, mounted on it, and made my way out of the hideout.I thought I was free until I felt Derrick's fragrance wafted into my nose. This time, I was unstoppable. I had waited enough. My mate was out there facing the woes all by herself. Not even my wolf can stop me now."Your Highness, this isn't the best option!" Derrick finally caught up with me."Say that again and I will snap your neck!" I roared and set my horse on the move. Targon who was standing in my path jumped out of the way as my horse galloped towards him."Get down to work and get everyone to safety!" I yelled at the two of them and pulled my horse's reins, "Giddy up!!!" I commanded.The horse tore through the path ahead of us and in no time, I was approaching the concealed entrance of the hideout. Suddenly, I felt a tingling sensation and a voice broke int

    Alpha JoashI cussed as I rode into the wild. I had never felt so agitated, I wanted to get to Vera in time, but Silas' horse didn't yield my command, it was obstinate and as slow as a snail."Vera, I hummed softly, trying to link her up, but there was no response.Why? Is she tired? She said she was alright and stalling to get some information… Yeah, I knew that was probably not true but I didn't expect that she encountered great difficulty… Wait… Didn't Silas say that she killed Alpha Woods and some rogues were unto her?"Vera!!!" I tried to mind-link her again, but all I got was silence. My heart throbbed with fear."Giddy up!" I commanded and hit the horse forcefully. It neighed and galloped forward, speeding down the rough terrain.Impressive! I held its reins and lifted up my body as we shot forward.It was a smooth ride and unlike I had expected there was no ambush or constraint on the way. This seemed to be suspicious, given the ongoing clash with the rogues, but thanks to it

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   Father knows

    SilasI was a prisoner in my own abode, the palace walls were like shackles, binding me down.Yes, I had lived under my father's caprices and almost like a prisoner all my life, but they were better days than how I lived now.Since my father assigned his special guard to monitor me, my life had become miserable. I wasn't given breathing space. I could still communicate with my men who were stationed far and wide, thanks to my gifts.It was late in the night and I was strolling down the palace gates with my father's guard sticking to me like glue.Ignoring his presence, I let a blissful smile spread across my face as I remembered Joash. That scoundrel, he must have reunited with his mate and now I am out of his mind. I smiled wider.Our damsel in distress is more capable than I had thought… I couldn't believe that she killed Alpha Woods when she was surrounded by rogues. Good for her she achieved her revenge.I'm glad that Joash got a good match, but wouldn't that make them a formidabl

    Alpha Joash Vera had regained consciousness when I returned to the cabin but she was running a fever and seemed unstable and disoriented. Her parched lips quaked like she wanted to talk but she couldn't utter a word.I had envisaged these and had got all the necessary herbs"I've got you," I muttered and brought out the herbs stuffed in my pockets. I brought up a gourd of water and lifted her head up. As the water touched her parched lips, her eyes widened and she grabbed the gourd. She gulped down the whole content before letting go."You will be fine, just rest for now," I pecked her forehead and rose to my feet. It was time to work.I wanted the guards to be alert so I left them to the task and got the job done.I looked around the cabin for utensils. Luckily I got a bowl, some water and a piece of cloth. The water and the cloth were not clean but they were manageable.I dipped the cloth in the bowl of water and pressed it on Vera's forehead. She shivered and lashed at me. I held

    VeraMy back rocked my mate's chest as we broke into the wild. I was still weak and sore but a great relief and sense of security flooded my heart. "We are safe now…" I said to my wolf."Are we really safe? I can feel darkness looming ahead. I don't know what it is, but I can sense the tension," she replied."Yes, I can sense it too but I chose to enjoy the moment.""You should ask our mate," Viola insisted."He isn't in the mood… it seems he's trying to escape from here.""Yes," Viola responded."Let's give him time to do so. I have a lot to ask him too."There were a lot of questions that I wanted to ask my mate. I lost touch with time when I was going in and out of consciousness… and when I came around, I didn't understand a thing. I was with some masked men in a cabin and all I remembered was that they accosted me in the woods. It seemed like they saved me from the rogue wolves but I watched them as they took me out with a blow. I didn't know their identity and it all got mixed up

    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
