Vera

"Vera!" A familiar voice called, breaking me out of my pain.

Dimly, I saw the frame of a man. I couldn't make out his face but he was calling my name and running towards me. Who could it be? Fred? No way…. I was still lying on the floor somewhere within Alpha Joash's chambers. Fred can't be here.

"Vera Clams! Stay with me! I've got you… it's me! It's me, Fred. Stay with me!" He yelled and squatted beside me. "Who the hell did this to you!?" He grunted.

Now, that was typical of Fred.

He cussed under his breath and with one hand, he pulled the edges of my torn cloth together. He slid the other arm beneath me and scooped me into his arms.

"Beta Derrick sent me to get you… I've got you… and it's okay," he whispered and carried me out of the premises.

When I woke up, it was a new day. I was at the pack's clinic and my face was heavy with bandages plastered here and there.

"Nice to have you back. It's good to be alive," Fred said, trying to sound comical. I tried to smile but every m

    VeraWalking out of the office, I met Pete, she was waiting by the door. Without blinking or greeting, I brushed past her, storming away like a wind."I told you to leave already," Pete yelled."Tell that to your brother who summoned me to resume!" I gritted and walked away without another glance at her.My destination was unclear and I just kept walking. All that I read in the letters was visible in my head as I walked. I began to doubt my father. I tried to think down memory lane, trying to remember if I had any suspicion about him, but it was all blank, there was nothing. He was a trustworthy and loyal servant to Alpha Simpson. The only thing that stood out was his excessive worries about the instability of the pack which was caused by Alpha Simpson's capabilities. My Father usually discussed the susceptibility of the pack to various attacks with my mother. A man of such concern cannot betray his pack.They were all fabricated! There is no way my father will do all of that! I yel

    VeraI had a mission; to steal some of my father's letters from Alpha Joash's cabinet. I couldn't sleep all night. As soon as it was dawn, I rose to my feet and began to prepare for the day. Thankfully, I will be the first in the office so it was a done deal.As usual, I greeted the guard stationed outside the office and made my way in swiftly. Without much ado, I went straight to Alpha Joash's cabinet. The first problem was how to unlock the cabinet. I didn't notice the code when he opened it the previous day. But I wasn't deterred.I marched towards the cabinet with determination. Without knowing what to do, I pushed the door lightly and to my surprise, it flung open.I was taken aback but I didn't back off. My father's chest was sitting in a corner of the upper part of the cabinet. The crack on it was still visible. I dragged it forward and lifted the cover. It was also unlocked. The letters were neatly arranged inside the chest.Carefully, I pulled out the chest and flicked out a

    VeraI thought I had seen it all. What the heck is he planning to do with me again? At this rate, I might just drop dead. I stopped in my tracks and turned around with trepidation. Hands folded behind, head buried in pain. I took baby steps towards him.I stood in front of him but he didn't give me any attention nor did he say anything. I remained on my feet, hurting badly. My lips began to swell and blood drained slowly from my cuts, staining the floor.Is this another way he wanted to punish me? I wish I could look straight into his eyes and tell him how I feel.I was feeling weak but I remained on my feet waiting for the next order. I was feeling it, I knew that I could slum at any time, but I wanted to see how far I could go. I will see this to the end.Suddenly, the door opened behind me and a familiar voice boomed into my ears."Your Highness. Dr Fred Dante reporting in your presence," the intruder said and I froze. I had felt his scent before he spoke up.Fred walked past me a

    VeraThe sun had peaked when I walked out of the office. I grunted and blinked hard as its rays penetrated my eyes and my bandaged lips. My strength was failing and I dangled here and there. I hadn't taken many steps before I tripped. I began to crash down but the guard outside the office held me up. "Are you alright?" He asked as he helped me to a seat. I couldn't answer him as my pain and dizziness got a larger part of me. I became drowsy and it felt like I was in a trance."What the heck are you still doing here!? I told you to get out of here! I don't want to see you!" Alpha Joash's voice boomed into my ears and I sprang to my feet."Yes, No sir…" I slurred."Are you alright? Should I call a maid?" The guard's concerned voice filled my ears and I opened my eyes. I held him and looked around, Alpha Joash was not in sight. I just had an illusion.I sighed in relief and forced myself to concentrate. With eyes wide open, and glittering legs, I ran far away from the office.I was sup

    Vera"I am sorry… I can't do…" I slurred but the man grabbed my arm and with an enormous force, he flung me away. I landed a few distance from him and within a twinkle of an eye he was standing before me again."You are sorry because you can't do it? Don't you get it? You don't have a choice here!" The man yelled. He dragged me up again and glared ferociously into my eyes. I knew there was no second chance for me.A rattling noise filled the air. Within a twinkle of an eye, it graduated from a low noise to a loud noise. The man began to shift. I was about to be gored by an angry wolf. I felt an adrenaline rush in my blood, it drowned my weakness for a moment and my energy spiked like liquid hot lava.Either in my human form or wolf form, I didn't stand a chance against him. So I didn't care to shift. I just stood there with his minions closing in on me. Their swords were set before them and I wondered why they were doing this. Just one of them could snap my neck and it would be over.

    VeraAs the horse tore through the wild, pain rocked my body and I groaned relentlessly. Despite the pain, I still felt safe to be away from my killers. Although I wasn't totally safe! I was whisked away by strangers! They might be another set of abusers who wanted to take advantage of me. As far as I was concerned, I had become a pawn in a conspiracy that was way beyond me.With my adrenaline gone, I felt feeble like a reed. Fatigue like a fitting cloak descended on me and I could hardly keep my eyes open. Gradually, my vision became dim and I lost control. We were still in the wild when I lost consciousness. When I came around, I was lying on the floor in a familiar basement. It was the secret basement where I used to have my training with Killan and Fred.This is Killan's property. How did I get here? My saviours brought me here? If that was the case, Killan and Fred weren't my saviour. If they were, they wouldn't rescue me and dump me here.As I struggled to rise to my feet, I he

    Vera"Just take it cool with yourself. It's a miracle that you are standing on your feet already," Killan warned as I flung my swords without direction. It's been a few days since I had come around and I was going crazy because I had lost my moves. Killan and Fred complained that I was pushing myself too hard but I just couldn't take it. The wounds I had on my arms were almost healed up but they made it difficult to wield a sword and they wanted me to just sit, lazing around."They won't just get better, I have to train with them," I fired back as usual and I was surprised that Killan responded. He had never responded before."You are over-exerting them. Do you think that is rehabilitation? Nah! You could cause more harm than good.""Really? You should have told me earlier," I mouthed and dropped the swords fearfully. Killan chuckled and I charged at him."If you are lying to me, I will kill you," I yelled, aiming to punch him."You are still exerting your arm, stubborn chick," he ca

    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.

  • 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

    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
