THANE’S povAs I approached Kaidaira, I couldn't help but notice the curves in that red dress tempting my body and soul, the maids had done a great job with her make up, she looked beautiful and sexy, I need to get my head straight I am the alpha I can get whatever and whoever I want I shouldn't settle for this slave but I was drawn to her, to her beauty.. uh get a grip on yourself.I had gotten her a necklace for reasons I couldn't understand, and I planned to give it to her, but I had to make it seem like it was necessary.I walked towards her, turned her around, and brought the necklace, fastened it against her neck. I could see goosebumps all over her neck like she was frightened by my touch; I just noticed that her skin was very delicate. The pearl necklace matched with her beautiful white skin complimenting her beauty."Your majesty, of what do I owe this kindness," she said her face looking flustered."We have a guest tonight," I said trying to sound imposing."Do I need to do
KAIDAIRA’S POVI stood frozen, my mind racing with fear, anticipation, and curiosity. Alpha Thane's command to dance hung over me like a sword, its weight pressing upon my shoulders. The grand hall's opulent chandeliers cast flickering shadows on the walls, creating an eerie atmosphere.As I gazed out at the sea of faces, I felt a shiver run down my spine. The crowd's expectant silence was a palpable thing, a living entity that wrapped itself around my throat. I could feel their eyes upon me, some filled with curiosity, others with lust."You're nothing but a tool, Kaidaira," Zerek's venomous words echoed in my mind, a painful reminder of my past. His scornful gaze, his biting tone, still lingered within me, a festering wound. "You'll never be worthy of love." I pushed the memory away, focusing on the present.The music began, its melancholic melody weaving a spell of longing and sorrow. I closed my eyes, letting its rhythm guide me. The maiden dance, once a sacred ritual to honor the
Kaidaira's POVHe drew me close to him until I laid on his chest, I looked into his eyes What does he want to do??I lay there, frozen in fear as I couldn't predict what could happen; I looked at his face and saw him sleeping comfortably while I was in peril."What do you want your majesty," I said with the hope that he would answer and I would be free from this position I am. But he didn't respond. Then I asked again, again and again, but there was no response.This sent shivers down my spine, I was gripped with fear of what could have happened to him. I hoped he was not dead; if he was, this would be the end of my life. I placed my hands under his nose and I could feel his breath relief washed over me.When I found out that he was just asleep I tried to pull myself out of his hold but he wouldn't budge. I was tired and unable to find a solution and so I resolved to fate, I decided to stay there till the morning hoping that when he wakes up and see me on his bed he'll definitely chas
KAIDAIRA’S POV I slowly opened my eyes, taking in my surroundings; I was lying in a dark, damp room with stone walls and earthen floors; the place smelled like hell. I tried to sit up but couldn't. I felt a bang on my head, forcing me to lie back on the ground. Where was I? How did I get there? Memories began flooding in, accompanied by a striking headache; I could remember taking Thane to his room after the party, and then, coming back from the room, someone grabbed me. I've been captured. Again. Panic set in as I stumbled to my feet. I walked around the room, feeling the walls and looking for a door or window, but I couldn't find any, no exit, no escape. I sat back down wondering who could have done this and why. One crazy person came to mind. As I sat there trying to make sense of my situation, I heard footsteps from outside of this dungeon-like room. An image emerged, revealing itself to be a lady with her face covered. I looked puzzled wondering where she came in from
Thane's POV"Roy, check the wolfsbane available at the store," I said passing through the hallway."I already did we have two thousand barrels of wolfsbane at the storage room, Your Majesty," Roy replied, walking behind me."I have a feeling that there will be a war soon, and we have to be prepared. Prepare the archers. They should be on standby," I said.I recently began to have this ominous feeling that there would be a war soon, and whenever I feel this way, something always happens. I have to protect this pack whatever it takes."Gaston what is the next agenda, be quick," I hissed."Your majesty, the elders summoned you for a meeting at the Caspian hall," Gaston replied bowing his head."Bring the elders in I will speak with them now," I said in a commanding tone."Yes, your majesty," Gaston replied"You're both dismissed," I said in a low tone.They bowed and left.Immediately they left, I was accompanied by two warriors to the Caspian hall; what do the elders want to say?******
Thane's POV"Silence," I yelled out, I have had enough of indulging her spoilt behavior.She froze, her whole body was shaken up already. I knew how to break her. But for now I’ll let her be.I stood up angrily, she wanted to say something, but the words were in a battle to come out. I stormed out and went to my chambers.I laid on my bed and tried to sleep but I couldn't, I tossed and turned through the night thinking about Kaidaira's whereabouts, the guards had returned saying she was no where to be found.She wouldn't leave her child, so where could she be? I kept thinking till it was morning, the dim sun shining on my face.I stood up and walked groggily out of bed to attend to the day's business, which mostly was looking for Kaidaira.Going to the bathhouse, the maids had already prepared a hot, steamy bath. I quickly took my bath, got dressed, and left.As I went out I saw Axel, it's been a while since I saw him because I had been busy, after the treaty was signed he had asked f
Thane's POVI stood watching as the healer chanted ancient songs of healing; our pack's healers are the most powerful healers in history; we're the only ones who can heal a wolfsbane injury without involving a witch.I was promised by the healer that she would be safe, she would be healed, but I was anxious anyway because she looked like she was beyond repair; Calantha was indeed evil; what could she have done to deserve this kind of cruelty?It's not like I was righteous, but I don't kill without a cause.The healer was done, and she looked better than before; her wounds had begun to close, and the healer enhanced her Wolf's healing abilities so the injuries healed on their own."Thank you," I mutteredThe healer nodded and left. I stayed there watching her, watching her wounds heal by itself, and somehow that brought me peace.But good things don't last for long; almost immediately, my beta Roy came in with panic on his face."What's the matter," I asked with a calm tone."Your maje
Kaidaira's POVAfter a few weeks, I got completely healed and began my maid duties or, should I say, slave duties. Calantha kept threatening me with her words—“Because you survived the last one doesn't mean you'll survive the next," she always said. She made it known to me that she had another plan up her sleeves, and she was not going to leave me until I was completely broken."I'll break you, I'll crush your spirit that's what you'll get for thinking you can steal the alpha away from me," she said in a wicked tone. "This is my place you're just an intruder who would soon be gone, probably by death."Those last words got to me, "by death"; she meant she was going to kill me, and it was possible in every way. She could kill me, and no one would notice I was gone; I was that insignificant; I needed to act fast; I needed to leave this place as soon as possible.I can barely get past the warriors alone; how would I run away with my child? I would have to leave her here, but I can't.I c
Kaidaira's POVThe morning sun pierced into my eyes, bringing back the memories of last night.I thank the goddess that I was able to see another day after being caught by Alpha Thane; I thought he was going to kill me on the spot for trying to escape, but he didn't; why? In what way am I useful for him to keep me alive despite the grave sin I committed?I heard loud chatter outside like there was a preparation for something, and then I remembered that tonight was the annual wolf celebration where young werewolves who are of age bring out their wolves and swear their loyalty to the pack.I guess the same is happening back at Lunaria pack; only the thought of them disgusted me, but I didn't have time for that. I had to join the maids in the preparation.I went out, washed my face, and went to join them. I was placed amongst the people who cleaned the golden cup for the royal family. I reached Thane's cup and I kept playing with it until I heard a voice."Hey, there are many things to d
Thane's POVI could see fear written all over her face, she didn't expect to meet me there, the look on her face was masking this question, "how did he find out." I was passing close her chamber then I heard her soliloquizing, she said something about running away not that I should care but I did, I didn't want her to leave. I feel drawn to her and at the same time I want to draw myself from her."Your... Your majesty," she stuttered. "What are you doing her at this time if the night, when even the warriors are asleep," I asked."Your majesty, I just came out for some fresh air, my chambers is quite suffocating," she lied.One thing is that she doesn't know how to lie, her body language always have her off.I raised an eyebrow, my eyes boring into hers. "You weren't trying to run away, were you?" I asked, my voice dripping with skepticism.Kaidaira's eyes widened, and she took a step back, her hands shaking. "N-no, Your Majesty," she stuttered. "I wouldn't dare."I chuckled, a low,
