Saved by the Ruthless Alpha A Misunderstanding
Joash"Why did you abandon me?" Came Jenny's muffled voice as she opened her eyes."What…""It took you so long to show up. You left me here all day long… Didn't Pete tell you that I was waiting in your office?" she said looking into my eyes.Looking wide at her face, I saw her eyes. There were eye bags beneath them and they were deep. Despite her sleep, she looked stressed out and gloomy. She was a shadow of herself. Did I cause this? I thought, my heart bleeding out."I am sorry. I…" "Shhh…" she shushed me, stopping me from talking. "I am tired of your excuses. Now that you're here, it's good," she said, nudging her body closer.I let out a sharp breath but I didn't stop her. Because I was compelled to have her back, I started to accept her again. I held onto her, looking at her softly. She was my soft spot and I knew it.How can I tell her that I was swayed? I had a lot to say and a lot to confess, but I was speechless. I just looked at her, wishing she could read my mind by hers

Joash"It's a miracle. She isn't only breathing, she has also regained consciousness," Fred said, breathing hard as he disengaged from her."Good job," I patted his back and remained on the spot looking at Vera. Every cell in my body wanted me to move towards her, hold her in my arms and feel her heart beating again. But I didn't do it. I just stood there rigidly, looking at her.The doctors began to perform a fee test on her and one of them exclaimed. "She is neither moving nor talking." "She has no reflexes too," another one said, calling Fred's attention.Fred shone a light from a tiny torch into her eyes. But she didn't blink or respond in any way. He carried out some quick tests on her but she didn't respond to any."We will have to wait and see how she improves. We are not sure of anything yet," Fred said dejectedly."Keep up the good work and report all development to me,""Yes, My Lord," Fred responded with a bow and I turned to Killan."I will send more guards your way. Since

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

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
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha ... Because Vera Isn't Here...
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

Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Blake's madness II
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.

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
