ALPHA THORNE's POV

I woke up at the speed of light. It had been a long night for me. I was still wrapped in the embrace of sleep.

The thick and soft furs of my duvet covered me, and as I stirred, I pushed it aside, exposing my body to the chilled air that graced my skin. I looked around and scanned the poorly lit chambers, the curtains covered every source of light coming in.

I swung my legs over the edge of my bed, the cool touch of the stone floor beneath my bare feet tickled me and I sought my footwear at the other side of the bed

I rose from the bed and with a control and deliberate movement I moved to the bathroom. I could hear sounds coming from outside the door but nobody came in. I took my time to wash up after which I cleaned up with a thick towel.

I crossed over to my massive wardrobe in a corner of my chambers. In it were cleanly fitted garments. I took out a tunic of deep blue and a brown breach that suited it perfectly. I dressed up swiftly as I readied myself for the day

    I was stressed from doing absolutely nothing. As I stirred from my restless slumber, the foremost rays of the morning had already begun to sift through the blinds of my big room. The light went directly to my eyes and I covered them a bit while I tried to adjust to the brightness.I could not still bring myself to believe I occupied this room. It was a room unlike anything I had ever known, with its high tops and glamourous decorations that spoke of wealth and privilege. It could not be compared to the one I owned at my father's house.My bed was worn out and the foam was almost to the hard ground. The rats barely let me sleep properly. The spoilt door made it difficult for me to enjoy my privacy. But this one here in the Alpha's home was the opposite. But despite its extravagance, the atmosphere held a feeling of obliviousness that made me feel unsettled. I was very much awake now and while I scanned the room, I noticed a lady standing. She was taking out some stuff which I noticed

    I ate slowly and calmly I was scared I would stain my dress. I noticed the Alpha's eyes on me and that made me tremble a bit. Had I clumsily stained my dress? Ohh... Ava. I cautioned myself in my mind. He was going to see how unfit I was for his life and class. He was concentrating on me and then I followed his eyes to my hand. There was blood. Blood from my hand.A piece of broken plate must have cut into my skin, and I did not notice. I began to feel the pain after I saw the blood. My heart raced as I tried to hide my trembling hands, but it was too late. Alpha Thorne's eyes, strong and unwavering, looked in on the deep red color droplets smearing the floor."Ava, you are hurt," he said his voice was low but firm and commanding. My pulse hastened, and I could barely breathe as I looked up, fearing I was in trouble. His manifestation was fierce, his jaw set in a hard line, and I braced myself for the rebuke I felt certain was coming. I trod to love from where I sat "Hold still Av

  • The Alpha's Broken Slave Mate    CHAPTER 11

    Chapter 11It was almost midday and I was very bored. I had absolutely nothing to do and Eiza was nowhere to be found. She had come up in the early hours of the morning to bring me breakfast and prepare my bath but since then I had not set eyes on her again. She would have been the perfect one to keep me company. I thought of some activities that could take away boredom. And after a long thought, I decided to play dress up in front of the mirror. I walked over to the wardrobe to what the beautiful dresses Alpha Thorne sent up for me. I still had not seen him to Th ak him properly. I had gone to his study but was told of his absence.I stood there for a while before picking a lilac dress. It had a simple design but was very beautiful. I put it on gently and walked to the mirror. I stood in front of the mirror, admiring the way the lilac gown seemed to glow in the afternoon light."This beautiful" I turned as I heard the door closing. I was not expecting to see anyone else aside from

    I had stayed up in bed almost all morning. I was feeling weak and tired. Eiza had come to do her daily chores as usual. She had persuaded me to take a walk around the estate and I had agreed to it. The morning breeze was a bit chilly and I enjoyed the feeling of being under the soft furry duvet.I remember back at home, I shivered till the cold was over. The only duvet I had was confiscated by Bianca. I quickly pushed that aside. I tried to sleep but it was not forthcoming and as the afternoon sun began to come out, I got up from the bed and decided to take a stroll like Eiza had suggested. I heard a weak knock on the door. I turned, I was expecting to see Eiza but my heart skipped a beat when Alpha Thorne came inside the room. His presence filled the room, I was fully aware of his presence and my body tingled."Good Afternoon, Alpha Thorne" I greeted, "How are you doing today Ava?" he asked, his voice a rich baritone that always seemed to echo within me. "I very well Alpha. I was

    Alpha Thorne's POVI was in the hallway, and I saw her in the garden. It was as though she had been waiting for me. I walked closer and faster to meet her.She was beaming with smiles and welcomed me with open arms. I moved closer and held her hands. he looked up at me and for a moment held her beautiful eyes. Ava's skin glowed from the moonlight. I caressed her arms and I felt the slight shiver of her body. She came closer to me and I held her tightly. She clung to me and I loved it. We wanted this moment to be our private moment. We took a walk back to my chambers. And we walked, we talked. I held onto her delicate hands as we walked. We were finally in the confines of my chambers and I hugged her. She looked up at me and I saw a LoC of her hair fall to her face. I gently pushed it behind her ear and my hand brushed light on her skin and I felt her skin. She held my eyes for a while and I reached for her face and caressed her cheeks. Ava closed her eyes as she felt my touch.

    The darkness of my room did nothing to hide the bright graphics hunting me in my dreams. I was in a familiar environment. My anxiety heightened as I was sure of my present environment. I was back to my old pack. The thought of what Bianca and Jonathan would do to me made me shiver. And just as I thought, they were standing just by the house, they had a cold and unforgiving stare that bore into me, and their expressions were filled with disgust and meanness.Somehow I was not in control of my movements, I found myself in a small passage in the house, and my heart continued to thump in fear. "How did I get here?" I asked myself I could perceive the familiar scent of rosemary I had been used to when I stayed here. The air was dense with uncertainty, and I could hear Bianca's voice calling out to her, trickling with meanness."Ava! Ava!! Ava!!!" I heard her scream her voice piercing my ears."Ava!!" I heard again but this time in a deeper voice belonging to JonathanI tried to run but

    I had spent most of my morning indoors and I was gradually losing my mind from doing nothing. I paced my room seeking a solution to my unending boredom.Weeks had passed since I came to Alpha Thorne's pack. I was tired of being indoors. I had never been used to being idle and I did not want to start now. I wanted to feel useful to myself. While I appreciated everything he had done for me, I just felt staying idle was not best for me since I was trying to forget everything I had been through. I usually had flashes from time to time, I just wanted to get busy. "I have to find a way out of this boredom. I cannot continue like this" I muttered to myself as I sat down on the couch close to my bed. I had to meet with the Alpha again. I had told him about it before but he had given a negative response. Maybe he felt I was trying to pay back for his kindness towards me. i needed him to know how much I needed to work. I was unable to hold it any longer, i stood up with revived decision. If

    I was just opposite Alpha Thorne, my eyes were out of the carriage windows. I brought them in occasionally to observe my environment. It began to drizzle outside and so I had to bring my view back inside and so did Alpha Thorne.Inside was silent and all I could hear was the drizzle that had turned into a heavy downpour. I noticed the carriage had come to a halt. It was awkward sitting here with the Alpha and having nothing to discuss. It was almost like the first day I had followed him. The day before Alpha Thorne had met up with I and Nyla. Nyla left since she had some things to handle. Alpha had invited me on a day out today and I obliged. He was trying to help me take away Biredoem and I appreciated that. I was curious to know what he had in mind and where he was taking me, but I decided to be patient. I noticed his glances and sometimes our eyes met but I took mine away immediately. I tried to take in his view without him noticing me. He kept an emotionless face. He sat strai

    TORREN AND MATHEW TORREN's POV I was honestly tired of the whole back and forth with Mathew. I wanted a happy life but I couldn't quite get it here where I was undervalued. ‘Not undervalued’ my wolf corrected but that wasn't how I saw it. I saw Ava approaching and I put on the fakest smile I could muster. She didn’t need to be worrying about me in her condition. "I've been looking everywhere for you" She frowned as she walked closer. "You ought to be resting," I said with an eye roll. At this stage of her pregnancy, it was advised that she stay off her feet but Ava was never one to listen. If her mate saw her here, he would scream his lungs off. And I wasn’t interested in that kind of drama. "I can't stand being cooped up in that room for a single minute more. It’s driving me crazy" "Does your servant and guard know you are here? Does the alpha know you’re here?" She shook her head with a mischievous smile. "They'll find out when they check the stack of pillows under my

    DIEDRE AND EVANSDIEDRE’s POV I felt confused, miserable, and ultimately, unhappy, I had to leave my home because of how foolish I had been. I had no one to blame for that mistake, I should have done better. I should have stopped when Thorne asked me to. When my wolf begged me to stop. Ava wasn't a terrible person, far from that. She was sweet and I only just realized that after my last talk with her. It was too late by then. I had let my bitterness consume me just for the hate I had for mistresses that had absolutely nothing to do with her. Now I had no home. Thorne had banished me and never wanted to see me again. The tears that had refused to stop since I left started again and I pushed my fist into my mouth to muffle cries. I had nothing, no one. The loneliness and abandonment I had feared all my life was now a reality. I didn't even know the name of the pack I was currently in. Was it even a pack? Thorne had been kind enough to give me some money. That was all he spared me

    As I watched my baby in the crib, my mind traveled back to how he had come into this world. On that day, I sat on the chair with Torren discussing certain things. I was as round as a ball now, the baby had also been very active and kicking. I barely went anywhere far because of my swollen feet which hurt so much. And Thorne had my movements restricted. "You said you wouldn't eat anymore today," Torren said and I pouted. "I can't help it, the baby has been making me eat a lot" "I'm sure the baby will have a lot to say when it can finally talk" I rolled my eyes. "What's been happening? How are you and Mathew doing?" "We are fine" he answered stiffly. "How is your new place? Do you like it?" "Yes. I'm glad that I decided to move out of the pack house instead of leaving the pack entirely" "I'm glad too. But in the end, I only want you to do what makes you happy" "I want okay right now. I can't say I'm happy because it'd be a complete lie. But I hope in a few months from now,

    "What!!!!" She said excitedly. "I just found out some minutes ago" "Oh, my goodness. I'm so happy for you. What was Thorne's reaction to the news?" "He was so excited about the news" "I knew he would be happy. Finally, there'll be a mini Ava and Thorne and my baby has someone else to play with whenever we come here. I’m super excited. Maybe even more than you are” "That's true," I said with a smile. She touched my belly. "I hope it's a boy and I can't wait for him to be here. I'll finally have a godson. And maybe when they’re older, they could be married” "How do you even know it's going to be a boy? It might be a girl just like yours" I didn’t bother about correcting her on the marriage issue. Arranged matings had a way of turning out bad. Agatha’s was a solid proof. My child will choose to be with whomever they wanted. "No, it's going to be a boy. I'm very sure about that" "The baby is not going to be here until a few months so we'll find out then if it's really a boy or

    "What?" I said shocked. I instinctively touched my belly. Another life was forming inside of me. I am pregnant. I looked at Thorne's face and he was so happy. He touched my stomach. I couldn't settle on one emotion. Uncertainty, confusion, fear... the news had me conflicted. But how...'I'm sure you weren't expecting a trophy with all the unprotected sex you've been having' my wolf mocked. Of course not. "I can't believe this. We are having a baby. Thank you so much Ava" he said squeezing my hand and kissing the back. "Congratulations alpha and Luna," the healer said again."So why was she vomiting so much? Is there another thing wrong?" He asked with a frown while I was still trying to process it. "No alpha, it's the baby that's causing the sickness. She'll feel sick for some time but after the first three months it'll stop""Excuse me please," the healer said and then she was out. With her gone, the seriousness of the situation dawned on me and I started crying. I didn't know

    ALPHA THORNE'S POVI felt uneasy as I walked towards my office. Ava wasn't well even though she kept wishing she was okay. I knew better than to argue with her. But I'll still have the healer check her just to be sure. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong. And I wanted her to be okay at all costs. I couldn't be at rest knowing that something was wrong with her. I arrived at my office and Busta was there. He had a solemn look on his face. "Are you okay man?" I asked Busta and he looked up at me as he nodded with a strained smile. "You don't have to lie, Busta," I said softly, encouraging him. I could do nothing to ease his pain but I could offer a listening ear."I don't know how I feel truly," he said with a drawn-out sigh. "She chose her part. I warned her severally but she failed to listen. She was bound to end up like this somehow. I just thought.....that I could save her somehow but I ended up..... I killed her myself.

    There seemed to be a kind of peaceful feeling in the air as I woke up. It probably stemmed from the knowledge that everything had been sorted out and I had no reason to fear anymore because Jonathan and his family were gone. Never to be seen again. We didn't get to talk about it. He only told me that much before I jumped him. Thorne was still sound asleep, I climbed out, going to the bathroom to do my business. When I returned, he was still asleep so I climbed back into bed with him. He took that moment to wake up. "You should still be asleep" his chest rumbled as he spoke. I kissed the side of his face lovingly. "I couldn't sleep anymore" his face quickly changed to one of worry. "That's not right. You need to rest. The last couple of days have been really stressful. Do I call the healer? There must be something wrong if you can't...." I groaned. "No. I don't want to see the healer. I feel alright. All I've done is sleep. I want to go outside and see my friends" Being inside thi

    I was afraid. My heart pounding with the worst kind of fear. Jonathan and Agatha had found a way to connive with another alpha and attack. That was bold but very risky. I feared for my mate. I didn't want him hurt. The door opened and Busta came in. A dark look on his face. "Why are you here? Where is my mate?""He asked me to stay back and protect you. He'll be okay" he tried to assure me but it couldn't quell the fear that I had in my heart. "Please try to relax Luna. I'll be outside if you need anything""No" I stopped him immediately. I couldn't be alone. He nodded and sat at the chair closer to the door. I paced up and down the room, my head imagining various scenarios and preparing for the worst. But at the same time, I was hopeful. I looked over at Busta and noticed he was restless too. And I felt selfish. His only family was also involved in this battle and on the wrong side. The chances of something happening to her....."Are you okay Busta?" He looked up and his eyes we

    ALPHA THORNE'S POVI slowly gained consciousness and Ava was snuggled against my side, listening to the sound of her steady breathing. I thought of how lucky I am to have her with me. Alive and well. So many things could have gone wrong during the time she was in captivity but the goddess kept her for me until I was able to get her. I brushed the hair away from her face, a sigh of relief still leaving me. The injuries had slowly healed and she was much better. I still wanted her in bed every day, resting until she was completely healed but she did everything to assure me that she was okay.The fear I had felt when I realized she was taken. I never want to feel that way again so I was going to do everything in my power to make sure she remained safe and unharmed. Even if it meant killing everyone or dying myself. I’d do it to make sure she was always safe. She shifted against my side. I slowly moved away from her touch, hating to be separated from her but my need to use the bathroom
