Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Twisted
DerrickIt's been two days now and Alpha Joash's seemed to be getting worse. There was no trace of the men who were sent to get the detoxifying herbs. Just like the royal physician had promised, he was ready to set out on his own.I couldn't let him go alone so I decided to go with him. Since my actions were still unstable, it was better that I leave. Possibly, I could regain my sanity by travelling through the wild, but Targon disagreed."Going with the royal physician might be dangerous. You are Alpha Joash's right-hand man. The Alpha King and his men recognised you already. You should stay back here while I go with him. I and a few men will protect him from a distance…" Targon suggested.I saw the wisdom in his words, so I agreed. I stayed behind and he left with the royal physician. We dressed the royal physician like a woman. It was a disguise to avoid easy recognition."I pray you return in time… Do not stay too long, for His Highness'sake," I pleaded."I know what is at stake

VeraI lost consciousness at some point and when I came around, the healers were working on me. Blake was nowhere to be found."She has come around," one of the healers said to the other.I raised my hand slowly to touch the rugged wound on the neck of the healer that was bitten earlier. My heart squeezed in pain, both physical pain and emotional pain."I can't watch any of you die for me… just kill me… When I die… all this will end… I'm doomed to die anyway…" I muttered incoherently."You won't die," the one who Blake bit muttered."Oh… you two… can talk? What a relief" I muttered, choking in pain."Can't you see? Our herbs can't do much…The wounds are too brutal… They won't heal easily and … he wouldn't stop inflicting more wounds on her… if he continues to torture her, he will kill her!" The second healer responded."Thank you for saving us earlier… I had thought we were going to die…""We have to help her get out of here…" "What are your names?" I slurred"I am Tehla and she is T
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha A Difficult Decision
Vera"It worked! I just spoke to Beta Derrick! It worked" I clattered, holding Tehla and Tirha's hand. They smiled and nodded while they continued to work on me.I could never be more grateful… but I needed to know where we are. Where the heck is this place? … And… what was that? When I linked up with Derrick earlier, he was cryptic about Alpha Joash's condition… Well, all that mattered was to get out of here, when I'm home, I will see for myself. I couldn't wait to fly into his embrace and tell him how I felt. My heart raced as I remembered Blake's words. Why did he believe that Alpha Joash was dead? I'm sure he survived the attack since they escaped with his body. He had survived worst attacks in the past, I consoled myself."If he is hale and hearty, he would have turned the earth upside down to find you," Viola chipped in and I shrank with fear."Do you happen to know where this is? I mean where the goddam hell are we?" I asked, trying to divert myself.The twins looked at each
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Promises
TargonI was angry with Derrick but I knew he was under tension just like I was. I had no option, he had given the order and I had to obey, he was my superior.I understood why he did not want to send the physician back without me. Men whom we had sent initially were all waylaid and killed. But that doesn't make his decision good either. The physician was stricken with age. Taking him through the rigour of travelling down to the Hollow Woods was unwise. He would slow down our pace and his presence at the scene might also complicate things. We had been on the move for about half a day and the old man was weary already. Since we didn't prepare to travel far, we didn't bring a horse. We also decided against it to avoid attention."Sir, you should wait here. Some of my men will stay with you. We will be back before this time tomorrow… I promise…""Thank you, thank you," the old man said profusely and heaved a sigh.I ordered some of my men to hide him in and protect him while I sprang i
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha A Perfect Escape
Targon.I stood by the creek in the Hallow woods, looking abroad. It was all still and quiet, I didn't know which way to go. I looked at my men earnestly, trying to figure out my next move. Since I couldn't link up Vera, I had to go through Derrick. But before doing that I decided to make a gamble."We will all spread out, in different directions. We have got just five minutes. Be vigilant and alert as you go. If you find any strange structure or occurrence on your path, link me up immediately," I ordered my men."Yes sir!" The two responded in unison and departed.As for me, I chose the path that went straight ahead of me. I moved swiftly, looking left and right with my senses alert. But nothing came up. I was in the middle of emptiness, surrounded by bushes, trees and animals cluttering here and there. There was no human form in sight. Not even the howling of a wolf.I threw my hands up in frustration and turned to leave, but something fell into my line of vision. It was far away an

TargonThe joy in my heart when I found Her Highness was boundless. Although she was badly battered, she was alive and I found her! Derrick had made it clear that it was paramount that we found her and saved her.When she mentioned that there were two other captives, and we must save them, I almost cussed aloud. I had thought that this was going down without a scuffle but she just shattered my hopes!How can we save two others without a counterattack from their captor?We found the prisoners and I noticed that they were poisoned. I thought that Her Highness would give up on them but when I saw her doggedness to still leave with them, my heart sank. It wasn't logical! We were possibly digging our own grave! We would get caught!We had to get out of here in time and we must be careful not to lead Blake to our secret place. Who knows, he could be watching us.I mind-linked Derrick immediately, telling him to send three horses our way.Luckily, we slipped out of the building with Her High
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Homecoming
VeraThe cold breeze swooped into my ears, whizzing my name as the horse galloped at a mad speed. Shuddering, I held the reins tightly with one hand and hugged myself with the other arm. Pain rocked my cuts as the horse hopped on."I am going home," my heart merry despite the cold and pain that were rocking my body.Home? The idea of 'home' sounded strange, but yes, I am going back to my man and his abode will be my home. I looked behind me, giving a last look at all that was Blake's. He would go mad when he found out that I had escaped with his toys.My eyes burned with tears as I remembered all that he meant to me and all that he did to me. Did I miss it from the beginning? Has he always been evil or did circumstances turn him into a monster? My heart bled for him and the thought that I had left Alpha Joash to be with him made my heart tingle.Another question popped up in my head; What if I had returned Blake before the whole saga, would he have done this to me? Would he have mad
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Home Coming II
Vera"My Alpha!!!" I crumbled whilst Beta Derrick held me up by my shoulders."Your Highness! You can leave, you also need some rest. Get some treatment and rest before coming to see His Highness," he advised but I pushed him out of the way and staggered towards the bed."I'm… I'm sorry…" I stammered as I took baby steps forward. My strength was draining fast and I grasped the edges of the bed. Tears filled my eyes and I wailed like a baby."Is he alive?" I asked the physician, blinded by my tears. "Yes… But…""But what!?" I thundered."We… we'll try our best..""Yes, you should! And what have you all been doing to help His Highness!? You have all tried but your best isn't good enough!" I yelled looking straight into their eyes one after the other.My gaze fell on Dr Fred and my eyes widened."What are you doing here!? The last time I checked, we had a stone to pick. You are not supposed to be here! Traitor!" I yelled and I realised how Alpha Joash must have felt when he thought I wa

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. I couldn't hold on anymore and I knew death was around the corner. I couldn't see nor feel my
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
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Live like a Rat
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
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha His Cruel Revenge
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? What has he found out abou
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha A strange cry behind the door
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
