Saved by the Ruthless Alpha A Good Day to Die
JoashThe 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

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

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
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Back Home
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!? Lead the way!” I thundered and they made my horse ready.Derrick led the way and I was s
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
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha A new Dawn
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
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Victory at last
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
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Silas Died
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
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha In the enemies Camp
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
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Game Over
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
