Joash

The night was fast fading and the sun was almost rising. The wood was still quiet except for the loud sound of nature taking its course with the sound of my horse, intruding the silence.

My father's men were still in the shadows and Silas' men hadn't shown up.

Is Silas playing games with me? Could his tips be lies? Or did I discomfit the enemies by travelling backwards?

Vera! Was leaving her with Silas' men a mistake? My heart skipped a beat. I wanted to mind link her, I wanted to warn her, but I decided to trust Silas. Vera is unpredictable, raising a force alarm might do more harm than good. And the last thing I wanted was having her all over the place, adding to my burden.

I ignored the feeling and continued on my journey. But I couldn't shake off the odd feeling and all that filled my head was Vera. Her safety and well being were matters of great concern to me. She wasn't cut for the harsh life of the woods.

Memories of the times I was on the run with Pete clouded my visi

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   Into the Ruins

    JoashI was still far away from the hideout when the smell of burning filled my nose. Black clouds rose up into the skies obstructing the morning glory.Whoever invaded the hideout did a thorough work in razing it down with fire. My heart bled as I travelled closer, I couldn't believe that one of the fortresses that I built was burned down to ashes almost hurting my people.Thanks to the timely hints, I would have lost my people and been driven to madness, that is if I didn't lose my life too. Thinking about this saddened my heart. Rising from ashes is usually a mixture of bitter-sweet experiences, but falling from grace is not only sour but also bitter. I lost my prominence since the day I was shot when I went out to save Vera. I will rise again!I remembered Jenny and Pete who sacrificed their lives for me. "You both should help me out this time," I cowered.I was almost at the hidden entrance to the hideout and I took a glean at the whole terrain from my horse. My heart sank at th

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   Unknown Destination

    JoashComing back was almost a disaster for me! It broke my new found resolve and crushed my heart. The destruction I saw on my horse was only the tip of an iceberg. Getting in, I realised the irreversible havoc that was done. It seemed the invaders lost their minds when they realised that the whole place was deserted. They ransacked, pulled down and burnt everything. All structures were gone. What stood before me was a barren expanse of land filled with ashes. Nothing was left standing! The only solace was that no life was lost.My heart was shattered and I felt choked up. As I battled with my inner turmoil one of the men with me spoke up."My Lord, we are at your disposal. Give the orders and we will do nothing but your biddings!"His voice called me out of my self pity. Looking at a number of them waiting on me to lead them into battle charged me up. Slowly, I retrieved my sinking soul and fire burned inside of me. I will destroy those that did this to me!VeraWe had been walkin

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   A lone man in the Woods

    JoashSpeaking with Vera came right in time. Although I was busy devising and trying out different strategies with the men that were with me, I still found time to hear her out. Now that I have some level of trust in Silas, it wasn't hard for me to tell Vera to trust his men. Offering an abode to keep her safe was better than running around in the woods. After I had formed some bond with Silas' men, I took some of them with me and we checked through the ruins. Luckily, I found one of my underground storage that wasn't gutted by fire. The storage contained crude and highly improved munitions which I had gathered when I was still on the run. I commanded the men to lift the gates of brass that shielded the store and about three men climbed down the stairs. They emptied the storage and lifted out all that they found. Those that were outside pulled the munitions out and soon the storage was empty. The weapons were mostly swords and spears of varying types. Darts with deadly edges, b

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   Walking over the Wall

    VeraIt was late in the afternoon. Fatigue fell on me like a cloak. My feet were beginning to feel sore and I felt weak. I still needed a good medical treatment, sleep and supplies before I could bounce back to my feet. We had different stops on the way, but none of it seemed helpful anymore. I thought wherever they were providing for me would be somewhere close, I didn't know it was going to be another intense journey. We should have travelled by horse. I almost cursed my mate for the decision he made that we should travel on foot. "How far away are we?" I asked when I couldn't take it anymore. "We are almost there, Your Highness," the guard with me responded as usual. "Let's take another break," I said and my guard helped me find a nice spot to cool off. He offered me more wild fruits and water which I munched on. We had been eating the same fruit since the previous night and it was becoming tasteless. "Where are you getting the fruits?" I asked curiously. "The second guard g

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   A strange cry behind the Door

    Vera I 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

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   His Cruel Revenge

    Silas I 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 ou

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   It is finished

    Silas I 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

  • 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 wer

  • Saved by the Ruthless Alpha   Soaring Together

    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

    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

    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
