The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 27 - Awakening
Daciana’s P.O.V“You’re weak,” I heard a voice whisper in my ear. It was calm and gentle, like the morning breeze, but it was condescending and taunted me. I felt a cold shiver run down my spine, my world engulfed in a smolder of clouds.“Let me in,” the voice came again, a little louder than the last time. “You can’t do it all by yourself.”I tried to look around me, but I could barely make sense of where I was. There was a tree somewhere in the middle of what appeared to be a river. The Moon reflected brightly on its surface, and the wind carried gently above the waters.“Is anyone there?” I hollered, but no one answered.I appeared to be alone, but I was overwhelmed by a sensation of a strong presence. There was something out there, something with an immense power that filled me with dread. My throat hitched as I took a step towards the tree.The path got sloppy with each step closer; the earth clinging to my feet and threatening to suck me into the ground. I didn’t stop. I forced m

Daciana's P.O.V I stood at the edge of the hill, buffeted by gusts of salty sea air. It was colder than I expected, and my fingers trembled slightly as I readied myself for the fight. My father stood across from me, grinning confidently. His eyes never left me, noting each subtle movement before it could become a strike. He had always been too fast for me; no matter how hard I tried, I could never catch him off guard. “Your movements are too rigid and controlled," he said, his voice carrying over the wind like a fatherly lecture. "You have to learn to be more flexible and natural in your actions." I rolled my eyes humorously despite my frustration. “Maybe if you spent less time talking and more time fighting, I could have hit you at least once!" With a confident yell, I sprinted forward and lunged towards him, my arm extended towards his cheek. He moved out of the way with remarkable dexterity and grace, but not before grinning. I charged at him again, having no notion of how f

Daciana’s P.O.V I woke up with a headache and a blurred vision of where I lay. I could hear hushed voices around me all mumbling something underneath their breath, but I could barely see their faces or recognize their voices. “Where… where am I?” I whispered as my sight became clear. “Ciana! You’re a wake!” yelled a female voice which sounded just like that of my sisters and I felt a thud on my body as she hugged me tightly. “Too tight Amelia. You're squeezing me,” I mumbled under my breath. She giggled softly, but something about her laughter didn’t feel right. “I thought I had lost you too,” she sobbed. I took a deep breath and sat upright on the bed. That was when I realized I was in my bedroom at home. Mother was not with us in the room. Only a few guards and the village healer who seemed to have worked tirelessly to ensure I was in good health. I couldn’t recall what happened to me, but I remembered bumping into Caleb on my way out of the forest. “Where are M

Daciana’s P.O.V Mother and I returned to my bedroom after the elders passed their judgment. She was fuming with rage, but never said a word. We got inside the room and she began packing my clothes into a bag without looking at me. “What are you doing?” I asked her, but she didn’t answer. “Mother,” I called, but again, she didn’t answer. “Stop ignoring me, Mother. What are you doing?” I demanded. She sighed, wiping a teardrop from her eyes. “The Elders just passed their judgment declaring the heir of the pack a rogue. If word gets out to the villagers that you killed your father–they’ll burn you alive.” She zipped up the bag and tossed it to me. “You need to leave. Now!” “I didn't do it,” I mumbled. “I didn't kill Father,” I said with a cracked voice. My mother came closer and hugged me. “No one knows how much you loved your father like I do. I would never believe you killed him.” She spoke lovingly. Amelia walked into the room and found us locked in an embrace. She
Last Updated : 2023-01-17The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 4 - A Lady In My Home
Milton’s P.O.V She slept silently like an angel. Peaceful and beautiful as she regained her strength from the toil of last night. I stared at her, unsure of what to do while she slept on my bed, and with no idea of what to do when she finally woke from her slumber. The scent of her body differed from that of the rogues that attacked her. It seemed she was cast out of her home. Robert was against bringing her into our pack. He said she was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode, but I didn't care for his opinion. She wasn't mated. I could sense it, and maybe that would explain why I felt drawn to her. She was lucky that I had gone hunting last night, otherwise she would have been dead. “Why are you staring at me?” The voice I heard awoke me from my thoughts as I stared at the lady before me. She was awake, and I had not noticed it until she had spoken up. I was uncertain of how long she must have been awake, but one thing was clear, and that was the fact that she c
Last Updated : 2023-01-17The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 5 - Prisoner
Milton's P.O.V Accompanied by Richard and Adam, I walked back to my office, thinking about where she could have gone. She had disappeared from the pack, and this I was certain of when the guards I ordered to find her returned with downcast looks on their faces. “What do we do now?” Robert asked. “If she's out there in the woods, we have to find her.” “I thought you were against keeping her in the pack?” I asked him. “Shouldn't you be happy she's gone?” Robert was a complicated and indecisive man. He had this habit of developing a sudden change of heart towards situations without a reason. In this case, the hatred he had for this lady, Daciana, was still visible in his eyes, but for reasons best known to him, he believed now it was better to have her close enough and monitor her. I waited for Robert to think of an excuse for his decision as always, and seconds later, he began. “She could be a spy. Maybe even an assassin.” He accused her. My eyes closed faintly as my lips
Last Updated : 2023-02-19The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 6 - Dangers Of An Heir
Daciana's P.O.V It was my third day in the dungeon and I hadn't been allowed the warmth of sunshine. I was locked up in a cold dark room with nothing but a candle light to keep the monsters at bay, and the company of rodents to keep me sane. Everyday, for the past three days, a guard would occasionally walk down to the dungeons to ascertain that I was still bound by my chains. After he left an elderly woman would come down with a tray of food to satisfy my hunger. Her name was Elena. She was short and had hips that could barely ease her passing through the door. I was never able to get a good look at her face due to the dungeons' poor lighting, so all I knew about her was that she was a mother of two strong boys whom she said were the Alpha's most trusted guards. Each day she came down, I asked her if she knew what the Alpha wished to do with me, and why he hadn't come down to question me yet. And each day I asked her, she would say. “Milton will come.” Today, I had no reason
Last Updated : 2023-03-03The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 7 - A Lesson On Trust
Daciana's P.O.V The night after we met, Milton asked me to wait in his chambers while he discussed with the elders of his pack. I was itching to get out of here and return to my pack to make sure my sister was safe. About an hour later, Robert came into the room, his face folded. “The elders asked that you come speak with them,” he said spitefully. I took a deep breath and rose to my feet, following behind him as we walked back together to the meeting room. It was a massive room, enough to contain the entire village, but it was just for the elders. They sat across from each other on a round table, and Milton sat at the end of the room, a table before him. He barely smiled as he watched me walk into the room. I figured he was always like that, but the elders clearly didn't seem so pleased to see me, especially Davies. We had a rough start after his false assumption, and ever since then, he's been out to have my head on a spike. When I was close enough, he raised a hand to

The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 26 - Between Promise and Duty
Milton's P.O.VIt had been three days since Adam brought Daciana back to the village, and she was still unconscious.I'd spent those past three days getting to know her little sister, Amelia. She was quite the charmer and had a knock for pranks and mischief.One morning, she walked into my office and leaned against the wall, crossing her arms over her chest with a confidence that seemed far beyond her age.“Are you Ciana's boyfriend?” She asked, her tone as blunt as her words. I raised my head from my paperwork and stared at her. I was at a loss for words. My mind rattled by such straightforward courage and interrogation.I leaned back in my chair and let out a hearty laugh.“Why do you ask?” I replied, amused by her audacity.Her eyes narrowed suspiciously as she stared at me, carefully observing every move that I made while seated across the table from her.“She's always said that boys are dumb. And none of the ones in our village were tough enough to handle her.” Amelia declared,
The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 25 - Daciana's Return
Milton’s P.O.V“Won’t you go after them? She’s been gone for three days now. Are you not worried?”I stared at Robert, puzzled by his questionable growing concern for the safety of Daciana. He suggested last night that we send out a search party to look for her, but I refused.I didn’t think she’d do something so reckless. I was worried about her, but I was also furious with her. She disobeyed me, roped my best friend into her plot, and ran off into the woods to go save her family. I was angry with her–angry that she had disobeyed me, and likely put herself in harm’s way, but I couldn’t stop smiling each time I realized that she had outsmarted my guards. Her courage and resilience to defile me were truly admirable. “Adam is with her,” I reminded Robert. “I’m sure they’re fine. Besides, I promised myself I wouldn’t get involved in her decisions. She’s not mine to command.” I let out a defeated sigh and reached for a cup of wine before me.“She’s too dangerous to be left alone,” said
The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 24 - A Full Moon
Daciana's P.O.V“Daciana. We need to leave, now!”Adam held on to my hand with his strong grip. He pulled me towards the window and helped my sister and I get down from the room.The cry of the angry villagers grew louder and closer. Amelia was shaking to his feet, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked back to our home, hoping our Mother would emerge from the shadows, but she didn't.“Amelia,” I called her. She turned and hugged me, sobbing gently. I ran my hands through her soft, silky hair. It was my fault. I came to rescue both of them, but I only succeeded in splitting her away from Mother.Fighting back my own tears, I looked into her eyes and forced a smile. “It's going to be fine,” I said warmly. “We'll be fine.”“Are you guys ready?” Adam asked, his voice tense with pressure. Even though he tried not to show it, he was growing impatient with our delay, and I could understand why.We've been gone from Moon Valley three days, longer than we expected. Milton must have notic
The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 23 - Standoff
Daciana's P.O.V“Seize them and throw them in the dungeon.”Those were Caleb's orders before he left us with an army of armed guards and they were all hesitant to make a move. It was either they still had respect for me as their heir, or they feared what I could possibly do to them if I was capable of doing what I was accused of.Adam took a step forward and placed a hand on my shoulder. “Your father trained you for battles, didn't he?” He asked, his eyes scanning the number of guards around us.There were about a dozen of them, and just two of us. “He did,” I whispered back to Adam.He took another step forward and one guard ordered him to stop, but he didn't. “Daciana. Do you know something very important when you're surrounded?”“I don't.”“Always stay calm,” he said with a smile. “When you're calm, you think better, you don’t rush into a fight and you avoid making mistakes.”I took a deep breath following what he said and let the wind gush through me. I felt a sizzling sensation
The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 22 - Home
Daciana's P.O.V “How much further?” Adam dragged his feet through the bushes behind me as we navigated our way through the forest to the path I'd told him about.We made a few wrong turns because I couldn't remember the way vividly, but after what seemed like forever to him, we saw a clearing that ran into the Shadow pack, the shadow of my home peering from the distance.Adam threw his hands in the air in victory. “Eureka!” He yelled and took a long breath of relief.“I should have come along with a bottle of wine,” he shook his head and sighed.cv I placed my hands on my hips and arched an eyebrow at him. “You're thinking of wine at this time?” His lips spread into a wide smile. “There's never a wrong time for wine,” he boosted with his chest puffed and threw his hands back and forth victoriously as he walked down our path.I smiled as I watched him take the lead. Adam was a hilarious man. He never took life too seriously and had a welcoming smile on his face whenever you came acr
The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 21 - The Escape
Daciana's P.O.V Milton made love to me. My tummy was filled with butterflies as I pondered on our little episode before his beta interrupted. I was angry at him for ignoring me this past week, but something about his touch made me lose my senses. I ignored him until the next morning, still determined to push through with my plans to run off with Adam to save my sister. But I knew last night's episode would make it hard for me to leave. I had my bath but still wore my night dress and waited for Nick to leave the door for their strategy meeting with Milton and the elders. Cersei somehow found out about my plan and offered to be our lookout. “Will you return?” She asked, setting down a plate of food on the table. I looked at her gloomy dark eyes and sighed. “I should. I need to leave first.” She walked over to me and sat beside me on the bed. A smile played on her face each time she tried to look at me. “Is something funny?” “No. It's just, I heard you both last night.” “Huh?”
The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 20 - Collide
Milton's P.O.VI stood outside the bedroom, my mind a battlefield as I deliberated seeing her, or still keeping my distance. Each time I tried to talk to her for the past one week, she'd bring up the idea of leaving the pack.I didn't know why I refused her request. She had every right to just get up and walk away. This wasn't her home like she reminded me, and she didn't have to do as I wished, but she sought my approval time and time again, and I refused.I sighed and raised my hand to knock, but the door was flung open as I lowered my hand gently. I caught myself midair to avoid hitting her head. Her almost six foot body stood in front of me with a lime silky night dress that fell from her shoulders and hung above her knee. Long legs of pale tanned skin left bare, and my eyes instinctively got drawn to the little dip of her dress.I gulped. A thought of her body bare before me crossed my head, and I felt a jerk beneath my trousers. I shook off the thought and offered her a smile.
The Alpha's Daughter Chapter 19 - The Escape Plan
Daciana's P.O.V Milton came into the room quite early in the morning and went to his wardrobe. He picked out a few clothes and turned to gaze at me without saying a word, then he left. Over the past week since I told him of my intentions to leave his park, he had become withdrawn and distant. He barely looked at me and never said a word to me. I thought he was being childish. He even had Nick, his favorite guard, become my personal guard. I wasn't allowed to leave the house unless he said so. It was like being his prisoner all over again. I stood up from the bed and got undressed to have a bath. I only had a towel around my body when he walked into the room again and froze in his shoes as his eyes fell on me. I could feel his intense gaze as he looked me over, a certain desire lighting up in his body. But he shook his head like he had just resurfaced from water, and he looked at me with his shoulders squared. “What would like to eat?” I raised a brow at him. “You haven't spoken
