The Alpha's Concubine 36
That was one question Masha had been dreading. She had feared Czar noticed back there in the tavern and wondered if he was going to say anything about it. She's also been thinking about it. She remember vividly that she had seen anger flash in Jaha's eyes when he turned at her at first and was surprised at the way he had halted without hurting her. She really couldn't understand why he acted that way. Did he perhaps, know she had something to do with his escape?She looked at Czar and met his cold gaze. He was obviously still waiting for an answer. "I ... I don't," she stammered. "I mean, of course, I do know him as Jaha, but I have no idea why he had halted that way."Silence descended upon them, but Czar kept staring at her. This made Masha uncomfortable. Finally, he looked away from her and hear her heave a deep sigh of relief Getting used to the silence, Masha's eyes would start drifting close again. She was very tired and needed a lot of sleep. As she dozed off, Czar found h

"I... I don't know," she wagged her head. "I mean, I... couldn't really see their faces like I said." she gulped nervously and glanced at her mother."I just need more time. Perhaps... if I could take some strands of your hair and chant on them for a while, I'd be able to discover who was with you at that moment."Jaha was totally displeased. He looked around in a huff before turning back at Martella."Are you sure you did not see anything?" He grumped. There was an echo of desperation and danger in his voice."I... did not," she shrugged. "Why would I keep it away from you if I did?"Tensed silence descended upon them. Jaha found it strange that Martella saw nothing. She was very powerful when it comes to foresight and would barely disappoint.He was pained and didn't know if she was telling the truth or not.Haga

Three days later, Masha and Czar arrived at the gates of the place. The healer had been surprised when Czar told him to ride towards the palace. He thought he was just an ordinary man in the pack and wondered what business he had with the palace. He concluded he was probably a guard. However, when they got to the gates and when the guards scrutinized the carriage, they expressed shock to see it was Czar. "My Prince!" They lowered their heads at once. They were utterly confused because the prince had left in a royal carriage, and they didn't expect him to return in something like that.The healer was baffled when he heard the way they addressed the young man in his carriage. Who was a prince?Signaling the guards to step outside, the healer continued the ride into the palace and stopped in the middle of the compound. Now, he looked a little nervous. Czar and Masha alighted the carriage, and guards came running towards them. "My prince! Were you hurt? Are you okay?" The leader amo

Masha had just finished taking her bath, changed into something nice, and was about to slip into bed when a knock interrupted her peace. It was already late at night, so she wondered who it could be.Reluctantly, she got up, the cool air sending shivers down her spine, and walked to the door. And as she opened it, Torak's face appeared before her.The dim light of the walkway shone on Masha's face, emphasizing the deep shadows under her eyes from a long day, while Torak's features were illuminated with an almost ethereal glow."Masha," he called ecstatically. "How are you doing? I um... I just got back and heard there was an attack with Jaha. You did not get hurt, did you?"Masha was a little edgy, especially with the way he scanned his eyes around her like he was searching for an injury."I am fine. You do not have to worry about me," she said with a smile. "Where did you go, anyway?""Hunting," Torak shrugged. I visited a few taverns after that. I had no idea you would be home toda

"Are you sure about this?" Louise asked in a tone that was barely above a whisper.She kept looking around fretfully, even though she and Sephora were the only ones in the room.Sephora sighed. "Of course, I am sure. Why are you so scared, Louise? I just told you the queen is in support of this."Louise, who was the school's senior captain, was still a little skeptical about the whole thing. Although she disliked the vampire as well and wouldn't mind getting her punished, she had her fears."What about the prince?" She inquired. "She is still his wife, you know? What if he gets angry and tries to punish us for it?"Sephora tilted her head back and erupted into laughter that filled the air. This got the young woman muddled."Are you talking about the prince?" She asked with a ridiculous grin. "The prince hates the vampire more than we do, and I am certain he will not blink a lid even if she is getting burned."She paused and held the woman's hands. "I have told you, Louise, you have

Masha was confident as she followed them back to the previous room, where her bag was. She could not wait to prove them wrong and lash out on them. She understood the fact that the wolves did not like her, but accusing her of theft? That was beyond the line. The rumors spread so fast that more students joined them as they all headed for the room. Finally, they arrived, and Louise went right for Masha's bag. "This is yours, right?" She lifted it up to Masha, who responded with a nod. "Let's get to work, then." Opening the bag, she emptied it on the floor, letting all the contents spill out. Masha was displeased and wanted to grumble about it, but she froze when she saw unfamiliar content on these floors with her things. The vein on her forehead creased as she felt a skip in her heartbeat. Everyone around her gasped, including the two captains. "Tha

Swiftly, Arabella helped Masha sling onto the back of her horse and began riding away with her. It was a very complicated ride since Masha was unconscious and unstable on the horse, but Arabella was thankful she didn't fall off.Her heart kept cracking at the sight of Masha. The whips had torn some of the fabrics of her dress, leaving her bare skin open and wounded. Her face had imprints on it, and there was even a little cut on her lip. She was a total mess."I am so sorry, Masha," Arabella kept apologizing. "We are almost home."She spurred her horse on, urging it to gallop faster through the dense woods. The wind whipped through her hair, and every jolt and bump in the terrain made her stomach churn.After what seemed like an eternity, they finally got to the palace, and the guards ran after Arabella immediately. As soon as she climbed down from the horse, one of them took Masha down as well, carr

Slowly, Czar lowered the book he had been reading, the pages slipping from his fingers as he tried to process what he had been told. Though, his expression was blank, he couldn't comprehend the feeling he was having inwardly. For a moment, he just looked at Mace, frozen. "She stole?" He asked in a baritone."I do not know for sure, but that was what everyone said. Although, Masha kept insisting she was innocent, they never believed her."Levelly, Czar drew back his chair and stood up, and when he began heading out, Mace needed no one to tell him he was headed for the healer's place. Czar walked into the small stuffy room and was hit with the thick smell of herbs and ointments. Arabella was standing by the door, and she expressed relief when she saw Czar. However, Czar did not spare her a glance as he had his gaze on Masha. His eyes rested on Masha, lying face-down on the bed, her bare back exposed to the world. He felt a lump rise in his throat as he saw the crisscrossing stripes

Seconds passed, and Masha could still not find her words. She felt trapped in front of him, unable to look away despite how nervous she felt. Czar finally took a step back, his steely gaze on her. "I thought so too." He mumbled and started towards the door. Masha sprang to her feet and ran to him, pulling his wrist just before he'd reach for the door. Czar looked at her and found nothing but deep fear eating her up. Her gaze was on the floor."Y... You don't have to leave." She swallowed hard. "I understand what you want. Ac... Actually, I thought you'd be irritated by me. But...if you're not..." She forced her eyes from the floor to look at him. "... I'd want it as well, my prince. I'd... want to have this experience with you."Czar turned properly to face her. That was when she let go of his wrist and returned her gaze to the floor. "Are you sure?" His voice was low. "You need to be certain you want this, Masha."She nodded nervously, gulping down the lump in her throat. Her h

Masha, Arabella and Kona spent a long time in the guest room, and the whole time, Arabella did most of the talking. She never knew Arabella could actually be so funny. She kept cracking jokes and making Kona laugh enough. When it was night, they decided it was best to leave him to sleep. Masha kissed him goodnight - on the cheek - before leaving with Arabella. "Your brother is so welcoming." Arabella remarked as they walked down the hallway. Her cheeks were all red. "Are you sure? If you ask me, I'd say it was you who was welcoming." She laughed."Huh? That's not true. Don't make it sound like I was throwing myself on him." She puckered her lips. "I hope you're not catching feelings for my brother, dear Arabella. I'll tell you one thing, that guy is a flirt.""That's not true. He doesn't look like one."There was a little silence between them. "Well, I am not catching feelings for him. I am merely being friendly."They got to Arabella's door. "Let's call it a night, Masha. See y

Czar didn't know what had happened before his arrival for the room, but seeing the way Masha and his mother stood apart, and the way Masha's hand was holding her cheek with shock in her eyes, he could easily fix the puzzle. He couldn't comprehend how it made him feel, knowing his mother had laid hands on Masha. Whatever it was, it didn't feel good. Eve shifted her gaze to Czar immediately, trying to get rid of the repugnant look on her face. "Son, you're here. I actually came for you "Masha's hand was already down from her face, but displeasure shadowed her countenance. The queen's slap still hurt, and she felt so much bitterness to know she couldn't retaliate. If it had been anyone else but the queen, Absalom knows she'd have done something about it. Czar noticed how Masha kept her gaze glued to the floor. The part of her face that had been hit had turned crimson already. Anger shadowed her face, she didn't even try to pay homage to him."I need to have a word with you." His vo

Mace stood like a sentinel, his hands clasped behind his back, watching in silence as the Prince drew his bowstring taut. The training field was empty and quiet, and that was because Czar had requested to be alone. His shoulders commanded the space as he extended his arms towards the target. And in a seamless motion, he released the string, sending the arrow perfectly to hit his target which was a wooden board in front of him. He sighed in approval, took another arrow and worked it's way into his bow."The test has been conducted." Mace said suddenly. "And it was positive."Czar didn't spare him a glance, neither did his fingers freeze at any point as he aimed his bow at his target and pulled the string. It went perfectly to the board again."Are you surprised?" He finally asked, taking out another arrow. "Well... I'd bet even you were surprised." Mace chuckled. Czar's face remained cold as he shot at his target again and turned to get another arrow. "Is that the reason you have

Masha's eyelids fluttered open, allowing the soft morning light to gently caress her face. As her mind slowly emerged from the haze of sleep, she began to piece together the fragments of her memory, causing a mix of embarrassment and anxiety to swirl within her. A jagged breath escaped her throat. Holding on tight to the duvet on her, she darted her eyes around the room, and only then did she notice Czar had been there all along. She gasped, taking her eyes away immediately. Suddenly catching sight of him made her heart race faster and her breath come quicker. He was standing in front of his table, dressed in a black flowing robe that touched the door. And the way he linked his hands behind his back gave him a kind of 'bad lord' look. She couldn't look at him. Not anymore. But in that mini second she had looked in his direction, she noticed something else on his table. The table wasn't occupied with books and scripts like it used to. Instead, it was occupied with various meals. T

As Czar's hands closed around hers, Masha's whole body trembled with fear and anxiety. The room seemed to shrink, and no matter how hard she wanted to, she couldn't brace herself for what was about to happen. Czar turned her around so she could back him, and slowly, he loosened her dress and pulled down her sleeves until it was below her shoulders. He gave a momentarily pause, then continued steadily until her full boobs came bouncing out of the dress. A chill ran through Masha. At that point, she was tempted to push him off and just run off, but she wasn't ready for how embarrassing that would be. Czar left the dress to fall freely to her legs, leaving her in her all natural form. It surprised him that she had no underwear. She had really come prepared. Her back was a sight to behold. The curves of her buttocks, firm and mesmerizing, made it so difficult for him to resist to grab them. Her hair, black and glossy, cascaded down her bare back, inviting him in. A beauty she was - h

The darkness enveloped the room, casting shadows that danced along the walls.Czar sat before his study table, his figure bathed in the flickering glow of candlelight. His eyes were fixed on the pages of a book, but his mind wandered far from its words.It's been a very long time since morning, yet Masha was yet to come to the room. He knew she was scared and not ready, but he did not expect her to shy away that much.He tried to concentrate on the book in his hands, but the more he tried, the more the thoughts of her kept messing with his head. It was all his fault. He knew he was making a mistake when he started showing concern.A long time passed, and suddenly he heard approaching footsteps.Strangely, he could recognise the sound of her footsteps like a whisper in the depths of his consciousness.When the door opened and she got revealed, he was almost sure that time had halted. She was adorned in a long black dress, its flowing fabric clinging to her every contour. He recognised

Czar moved with an icy gait into his room, his hands fisted beside him. His mind was a mess, and as he lowered himself on the bed, Mace took a long stare at his face."I cannot believe this," he scoffed. "This is a very big problem, my prince. What do you plan to do about it?"Czar said nothing. He just clasped his palms and gazed into space."There are so many excuses you could have made," Mace went on. "So many lies. Why did it have to be that? A lie so complicated?""That was the fastest lie I could think of," Czar answered, his voice a little rough. "I had no idea my father would never believe me."He rose from the bed, moving to confront the window."Father sounded too sure. I have a feeling he might have been spying on me," Czar added, his piercing eyes gazing out the window."Perhaps. Or maybe he's just very sure that you are not so free with the vampire yet. You know, you make it quite obvious." Mace shrugged."For now, you just need to think of a way to get over this situatio

Czar mixed the treatment in the bowl, and by the time he was done, Masha was still on the bed, fully dressed. He expected Junior to be a little difficult for her, but at that moment, it seemed like he didn't have the time. He dropped the bowl on the table and approached her. "On your feet," he instructed. Masha felt a little intimidated. He looked like he was offended by something. She gulped nervously and forced herself to stand, giving him her back because she knew he wanted to help her with the knots in her dress. Although they had yet to consummate their marriage, it didn't change the fact that he was her husband and had the right to her body. An icy finger cascaded down her spine as she felt him manoeuvre the zipper of her dress. As soon as it was brought down, she supported her dress against her chest, not wanting her boobs to fall out. For a long time, she felt Czar's eyes on her back, and it made her wonder if her injuries were that bad. "On the bed." He moved away from
