Vera"I am sorry about earlier… I lost control and I, I almost…" his voice thinned and there was silence. "...I am sorry," he rasped again, breathing unevenly as he pulled me tighter…"You almost, but you didn't and that was all you needed to win me," I responded and heard him heave a sigh as he nuzzled his chin on my neck. I still didn't know what I did wrong and why he turned on me, but his restraint meant a lot to me."I don't deserve you. Unlike you who stood your ground to prove your parents' innocence, my roots are dirty. Without a mother but a father who hunted me through the woods, I was broken from a young age. I rose to power from shambles… And now you have heard the vilest secret about me…" he rumbled."I am not Alpha Jason's son… My mother… She was worse than a whore. She committed sacrilege… and I am her son, the product of that sacrilege. What do you think about me now? Do you still want to be my mate?" His voice wavered and his strong arms shivered around my waist.Oh,

Vera"I have unfinished business with my brother. I need to go back to him…" My mate began but I cut in, "I am not leaving you alone with him, I'm going with you…" I barked.Without responding, he shot a wild look at me and continued to pull up his pants.After the crazy sex in the woods, we walked down to our cozy nuptial castle. We had just had a warm bath, it helped with the cold."Your brother must have left…it's past midnight already," I said randomly while picking a fluffy cloth to wear."Silas wouldn't leave until he gets what he wants." My mate responded. "I don't want you to get involved in this. If I tell you to stay back, will you?" I felt his breath on my neck and I wondered how he got so close."No.""No." We responded at the same time and the next thing he did caught me off guard.I had worn my gown and was pulling my hair into a rough bun when he tapped my chest suddenly and knocked me against the wall. He drew his fist and aimed a punch at my face. My instinct as a w

Alpha Joash "It seemed like you left something behind," Silas smirked, walking back into the thatched house. Just like I had predicted, I met him parading the front of the thatched house, despite the cold. He was waiting for me.I was standing before him with my back against the door. Seeing his gaze fixed on the door and the big smirk on his face, I knew that Vera was just right behind me.My muscles tensed up and I fought down the urge to look over my shoulders."I was disappointed when you came alone. I was waiting to have you back with your little warrior beside you… Good, she's got herself a befitting sword," Silas said, still looking outside."Shut up! You bastard!" I roared and he chuckled.I was foolish to think Vera would back down after such a rash outburst. I wanted her out of all of these. I wanted her to be safe, I wanted to give her a good life that she deserved. But can I?I heard her footsteps approaching and I turned around slowly, my gaze harsh and grime."Why are

VeraI stood frozen, watching the interplay between the two brothers. Did I just overdo it? Did I just pass my boundaries? Are there supposed to be boundaries?I saw it earlier. My mate's bewildered looks and his menacing strides as he prowled towards me. I couldn't imagine what he would have done if his brother didn't intervene.I saw it too, Silas' subtle interference. He brought up the discussion about some gift to stop my mate. Although I was also curious about the gift he was talking about, all I felt back then was fear and right now, I felt like a piece of shit!I should have let my mate leave, after all, it was his business, and it was obvious that he didn't want me to pry.I did it because I knew that my mate was blinded by hate and distrust. I wanted to stay out of trouble, but I could see what my mate couldn't see— His brother's brokenness and his thirst to make things right.I saw right through him and I didn't want the opportunity to slip past us. We could get rid of Sila

Alpha Joash"Your Highness? Silly! I told her to call me Joash." I muttered in my head as I watched her turmoil. I was mad earlier and now, but seeing her troubled state watered down the tension inside of me. I didn't like to see her vulnerable, but I still like her remorse and fear. This meant she wouldn't take me for granted in the future.I stared at her and feasted on her fear. But not only that, she drew me in in a way that I couldn't resist. Every ounce of me ached for her body couldn't help it. Despite my residual anger, being close to her in this way evoked different evasive and erotic ways of making her pay for standing against me."Why did you want me to work with Silas?" I asked, sounding colder than I wanted."I'm sorry… I will back out if you don't want me to get involved." She said, shaking horribly.Wait, did she even hear me? This was getting out of hand and I became alarmed."Vera!!!" I yelled and her eyes burst open. "I am sorry! I will back down!" She insisted, no

Alpha Joash.The envelope that contained Silas' message rested in the crest of my plans and I squeezed it up. That bastard! He should have told me that he was leaving.I stared down at the envelope and wanted to read it as quickly as possible but I restrained myself. I should read it alone, not in the presence of Vera. Who knows what the shady bastard wrote there?Slowly, I turned around to look at Vera. I didn't want to hide from her. I didn't want to hurt her, I didn't want any barrier in our relationship, but given the situation, I had no choice.Like she knew what was going on in my head, she remained aloof. Her eyes pierced into mine, gauging and waiting for my next move."I have to get down to my chambers and resume office. They've got me a miniature Alpha's office," I said, shifting my gaze from her."That is great!" She nodded, still staring at me. Swallowing hard, I realized that I couldn't just walk away. I walked back to her and kissed her wholly and softly on the lips."I

Alpha JoashUnlike my chambers back at the pack mansion, my place here was just two rooms. The outermost room and an inner room where I would be sharing with Vera.I had lived in hell. I had enjoyed wealth, power, and fame and my conclusion is… Either hell or heaven, none of it matters without peace.I ordered Derrick to wait outside whilst two of my attendants dressed me up.Pete... This was Pete's assignment. Gosh, I wondered if I would ever get over her painful demise… and Jenny…The eerie feeling I had when I visited Jenny's grave came back to me. I pictured her grave back at the moonlight pack and a bittersweet feeling erupted from my soul. I was indebted to those two, Pete and Jenny. I had to live up to their faith in me and… live a good life with my mate.My eyes settled on my regalia as I found a diversion from my troubles.Instead of the three pieces that I used to wear. It was just one piece and it was made from cheap fabric."Leave," I said to the attendants who were stil

Alpha JoashI had anticipated Targon's safe return since the day I sent him away. I sent him off to make crucial findings that would largely determine my next move. Then, I didn't expect Silas's visit or proposal.My eyes dazzled over him as he walked in.One of his feet landed on the floor while his other knee kissed the ground. "Long live your Highness!" He hailed, bowing his head."Speak!" I commanded, looking straight into his eyes."Your Highness. I investigated just like you ordered and here are my findings. The path outside the hideout is rough. The moonlight pack house is in ruins. Despite the King's men guarding it, it has become a den of thieves. Our enemies sabotaged our spoils, leaving us desolate. The King's men let them be. They were only there to sniff out any traces of us, not to protect the remains.""Not only the Alpha King, but most of your rivalries are also out seeking for you. Especially Alpha Woods. They believe you are god and wouldn't die of a poisoned arrow.

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

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

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
