Saved by the Ruthless Alpha A venomous Snake
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

Vera"This isn't even an appreciable improvement," Fred mocked Killan as he examined me, checking my reflexes."Vera Clams, can you hear me? Fred asked but I remained rigid and didn't move. Although I still couldn't move or speak, I could hear. I didn't react in any way, the extent of my improvement was my little secret."You know what? I am gonna have to spank you when all this is over! You are such a pain in the ass… I've always said it," Fred said amusingly and shone a touch in my eyes. That was the most difficult part. I couldn't hold the urge to blink. I blinked in response and Killan, who had been studying me keenly beside Fred yelled."Did you see it? That was what I saw!" He exclaimed but Fred scoffed. "Common, that was just a reflex, she can't move and she can't even see us yet… Stop exaggerating it.""Anyways, we are progressing… I am glad that she is improving, I had thought we had lost her," Fred said."Alpha Joash will be glad to hear about this… I think I am free tonight
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Emotions
JoashMy gait wasn't stable yet and I felt lightheaded. All thanks to the night, it hid me well from Pete's peering eyes."This isn't anything. I just needed to escape Pete's tea and Vera's news came just right in time. It's nothing but a good diversion!" I yelled at my wolf and plunged his excitement about seeing Vera into the mud. This is nothing but a diversion. I chanted to myself as I proceeded into Vera's ward.Killan was standing on guard, he bowed, greeting Pete and me as he led us in.Vera's eyes were wide open. But unlike before, she blinked as she saw me. Her eyes widened and something like fear was evident in themCan she make emotions already? Good. As I walked towards her I felt the dread in her eyes. She was afraid of something. Me? Good. I scoffed.I wasn't feeling too good, hovering over her wasn't good for me, it made me dizzy. So I just sat by her bed.My wolf whom I had tamed just before we walked in broke into zoomie moves, prancing happily in my head."Can you
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha I Need Her
Joash"You look radiant this morning," Pete said as she dressed me up."Really?" I asked."Yes! Don't tell me that you have gotten over Jenny…""Not so soon. But I can't continue to wallow in despair. I have to lead my people," I responded."Perhaps… you are happy because Vera is improving," she said and I caught her hands.Yeah, partially. Pete, you need to trust me. Vera means nothing to me. But unlike any other maid, I need her. I am going to use her and take advantage of her. I need her by my side ... I feel safe any time she is around me. I know why you detest her. She is a traitor, she is vile and evil, Yes! I detest her too. But I can't overlook how secure it feels any time she is around me. You know how we have lived, Pete, just this …""My Alpha! You just struck my heart. How can you say such things? Those who reference you, those who put their trust in you… they must not hear you say this! How can you say such a spineless girl makes you feel safe? You are a god, My Alpha, Ver
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Atonement
JoashMy breakfast had always been a warm cup of tea, but this morning I didn't spend much time in the office. A lot was going on and I needed to clear my head. A neighbouring pack was on fire, I couldn't sit idly in my office. Immediately after I spoke with Derrick, I went out on patrol.I addressed the Pack's army and ensured that the garrisons were fortified.When I was don with the army, I left the barracks and checked on a few more departments, correcting and encouraging them. I was still recovering and I had overestimated my strength. The patrol ended abruptly as I felt exhausted and famished too. So I requested breakfast.The food wasn't prepared in the Alpha's kitchen, I just ordered it randomly. I settled in one of the dining rooms and my food was served. I had almost taken the first spoon when I remembered Vera. The last time she served my tea, I made her taste it. Wanting to relish the memory I commanded, "Stop!" The last maid who was walking out froze and she was bundled
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha A Good Day to Die
JoashThe clock continued ticking and I remained on the bed planning my escape. Killan soon left again. That bastard, he had been leaving his post since morning and I wondered what he was up to. Anyway, the better it was for me.After he had left, most of the guards who were in my room walked out to continue their discussion, leaving only one guard behind. I maintained my cool until the guard stopped pacing the room and was absent-minded. Without making any sound, I bulgedong him with a flower vase that was within my reach.As the vase shattered, I froze thinking that others would hear it but they were too consumed by their discussion and none of them acted. As the soldier's unconscious body began to fall, I steered my partially stiff body towards him, stopping his free fall.With a silent grunt, I put him on the floor and dragged him to a corner where I hid his body. It wasn't an easy feat as I still felt feeble and I hadn't used my muscles for a while. Every movement was painful b

JoashThe moment that Derrick returned, I turned at him looking earnestly."My lord, l am afraid… Vera has joined the Shifter's pack, in defence against the enemy."What!?""Yes. The intruders are not the rogue wolves, but Alpha Woods of the Riverside Pack. Their soldiers had already infiltrated the pack in the guise of helping Blake, so the attack was easy."Gather my elite men! We are going into battle!""Your Highness…""Now! I have to save my girl!" I thundered and marched out of the office."My girl?" That was a new development!VeraI gasped as I surveyed the battlefield. The gossipers in the Moonlight pack were wrong. Blake wasn't attacked by rogue wolves but by Laura and her father.I saw their soldiers thrusting swords into the heart of everything that came their way. There were no rogue wolves around, but men from the Riverside Pack.If I didn't have my last encounter with Laura, I would have doubted what was happening. That bitch! This must have been her plan from the onset
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Meeting Vera
JoashMy horse prowled briskly as I rode out of the ruins. Blake was standing by the way with his head bowed. He was quaking and knotting as I rode towards him."I warned you!" I thundered." Didn't I? This is just the beginning. They won't cease until they get what they want!""I will take to your advice, I will abdicate…""No way! It's too late already! You should have done it earlier! Count me out! What they did will channel the rogue wolves... Prepare for another attack. It will be incessant until they invade your pack completely. You are now a feast between the Rogues and the Riverside Pack…"I stopped my horse right before him in front of his chambers where he was waiting. The few guards who were with me all halted at my command as he walked towards me."Your Highness…" he muffled his voice and lifted up his head. He looked weary and regret filled his eyes.I don't take pity on arrogant bastards like him. Ignoring his sombre look, I turned around, looking at the pathetic backdro

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
Saved by the Ruthless Alpha Ready for Battle
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
