Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Death and Life
At 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 body an
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Leaving for Good
Alpha Joash My poor judgement has always cost me irrevokable mistakes. I lost Jenny and Pete for the same reason and now Vera. I should have asked questions before acting on impulse. But I thought she was in league with the man who orchested my down fall and because of that, I lost my reasoning. Hearing all that Derrick said caused me a great pain. It turned out that while I was trapped in my subconscious, I wasn't the only one in hell. Vera passed through a greater hell. How do I reverse my actions and make her stay? "Bring in the healers and Vera too," I said calmly."No way! Speak to Vera yourself. As for the healers they will be brought in soon," Derrick bowed and walked out on me.I shut my eyes, regretting all that I had done. Well you wouldn't blame me, I didn't have a full picture of the whole situation."My Alpha, do not let Beta Derrick's attitude get at you. He has been erratic and irrational since we found ourselves in this situation… I can boldly say that he has lost

Derrick.After I had received his Highness'orders, I had no option, I had to obey. I tried to mind-link Vera but it was non effective. She didn't break her connectivity, right? No way! I told her not to leave. Quickly, I made my way to the river but she was gone."Vera!!!" I yelled her name several times but it was all still and silent.She wouldn't throw herself into the river… Hoping that she didn't, I gave a keen look at the river trying to figure out if someone was in there, but it was all peaceful. The river was flowing without disturbance.Where could she be? I tried to link her up again but I couldn't.Quickly, I left the Riverside and sped down to her room. The door was left ajar and it was empty, there was no sign of Vera. Her maids and guards were not of much help. They all testified that she sent them away two days ago.Fuck! I should have stayed with her! I should not have left her alone. Walking out of the room dejectedly, I met Targon on the way.He had been avoiding m

Everyone was gone! His Highness was supposedly having an episode. He was supposedly fighting for his life. Where is everyone? The royal physician, Fred and the the twins as well …"Tehla? Tirha? Are you there?" I tried to mind- link them but I couldn't concentrate.Am I late? Is his Highness dead already?"No!" Tears spilled from my eyes and I rushed towards the bed."Your Highness!" The words choked up in my throat as I spoke his body."Aha… no…" I shuddered and my tears spilled."What the heck happened? You were getting better a few days ago! Even if you didn't want me anymore, you should have stayed for your Pack! They were holding on for you! We were all waiting. Your pack is gone. Everywhere is in disarray…" I lamented as I held his body.While I wailed, I felt his muscles twitching
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha A New Dawn
When I woke up, it was morning. I was under the sheet and pressed closely against Alpha Joash's body. I had typically slept on him as the side of the bed where I snuck up to was relatively small.Looking up, I caught him staring down at me…"Good morning, Your…" he tilted down and pecked me slightly on the lips."I am glad that you are with me… I watched over you all night… I was afraid that you might sneak away…""Really? You think I will leave after such passionate moments?""You have done it before… remember?""Common…don't be so brazen … "He chuckled and I kissed his forehead. "I have to get going… I should get prepared for the day before your caregivers arrive.""Tell me you are not leaving again," he coaxed."Common! You have my words… I mean… since you want me to stay, I'm staying." I rose to my feet, tucked him in and walked out. If I stayed I might not be able to leave anymore.It was the dawn of a new begining and I couldn't hide my happiness. Smiling like a baby, I retur
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Choices
VeraIt's been two weeks now and my romance with Alpha Joash has been blossoming. It was the best moment of my life and for a little while, I forgot my pain and the murky paths that lay ahead. Apart from the pain that came with his therapy- which he tried to make less obvious, our romance had no setback. He skillfully avoided asking questions about all that had happened when he was unconscious. Although I knew that he had asked about details from Beta Derrick, I also avoided the topic since he didn't bring it up.The sun rose early today and we had just finished the morning session of his Highness therapy when. The sun was high but Fred cheered us on, insisting that the morning sun was good for healing.I swiped a kerchief over my mate's face and helped him to a seat. It was our usual spot after each vigorous exercise. After resting for a while here, we usually head down to His Highness' room where he would take a nap. But today seemed different, Instead of requesting to return to h

Alpha Joash"I planned a grand ceremony for this, but I am sorry… this is all I can offer." Alpha Joash's voice sounded in my head whilst he continued to kiss me. "I… Alpha Joash of the…. Moonlight Pack, proclaim you, Vera Clams of the Moonlight Pack as my mate and Luna. Will you have me?" Again his voice rumbled in my head. He moaned and growled softly, as he kissed me."I Vera Clams…. accept you, Alpha Joash…"He caught me unawares. I groaned and my eyes clamped shut as a mild pain filtered through my body. It happened in a split second. As soon as I mentioned 'accept' Alpha Joash stopped kissing me and whilst I tried to breathe in some air before I continued my lines, he buried his face in my neck and rammed his fangs into it.I shuddered in pain and he held me firmly but gently. The last bolts of pain rocked my body as he clamped his fangs shut."I love you Vera," he muttered meaningfully."I love you too, Alpha Joash." Viola was the one who responded this time. I was still batt

VeraEveryone in the secret place assembled with heads bowed and embittered hearts. We were all decked in black outfits, a colour that signifies honour to the dead.I was standing in the front line with my mate waiting for the final moment. Earlier, my mate had left to see Pete's body. He must have had all the time he wanted with it.He wrung his hands against each other as those who carried the coffin emerged. He shifted uneasily from one foot to the other and I could tell that he was restless. Quietly and without warning, I held his hand gently. He was slightly startled. He jerked my hand away suddenly and looked at me."Oh I'm sorry," he apologised quickly and held my hand. I squeezed his hand gently and he smiled before looking away. His attention was on the men who were approaching.Everyone maintained silence until the casket was dropped. After making the usual chants to the moon goddess, everyone in the gathering moved out in an orderly manner. One after the other, we wished t

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
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
