Cilla’s POV

Two weeks had passed since Jane Willow returned to the pack. A lot had changed since her arrival. Ridian and I had not had any time together. He was rarely at the pack and I rarely saw him. I remained Jane’s personal maid and she never made any unrealistic demands. As long as I did what I was required to do, she mostly left me alone. Jane seemed more disturbed than I was about Ridian’s plans but she distracted herself by getting involved in Camilla Jamison’s project.

The only good thing about Ridian not being around was that it meant he was not spending time with Jane. It was why I did not feel a lot of pain. Had he showered attention on her, it would have driven me crazy.

I ran into him a few times in the hallway as he stepped out of his elevator but he did not say anything to me. It was very hurtful, but I was beginning to get used to that attitude. When you choose to worry less about something, it becomes less stressful.

    Cilla’s POV“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CILLA MARKLE!” It said.I held on to Cara for support because I thought I was losing it. It couldn’t be possible, right? I started to believe I was seeing things that did not exist.“What’s going on? Are you seeing what I’m seeing?”Cara smiled like that was the most normal thing ever. “It’s your birthday, Cilla. We’re celebrating you today.”“Cara, what is this? How? Why?”I was very sure that none of these people wanted to celebrate a former slave’s birthday. My slave status had been revoked but I was sure they did not believe I deserved the same treatment as them. However, they surprised me. Some starting singing ‘happy birthday’ to me and I nearly collapsed due to the shock. I just watched as tears welled in my eyes. I was still trying to process everything when Jane marched into the hall with a frown on her face.“What the hell is going on here?” she asked. The crowd became silent.Ridian stepped into the hall. “What do you think is going on?” he ask

    Cilla’s POVI could not bring myself to tell the twins the story of our parents’ death but they deserved to know it. Since I couldn’t do it, I decided to delegate to someone else. The only person who could help me was Cara.While I was eating, the twins asked about our parents again. I looked at Cara for help and she understood me without hearing a word. “Okay, kids. Your sister is not yet well. Let’s go outside and I’ll tell you everything about your mom and dad.”“Did they really kill them?” Ren asked.“Let’s go outside,” Cara said, standing up and leading them out. “Your sister is not well, and this might stress her out. Do you want to send her into a coma?”“No,” Rose said.Cara was gone for about an hour. I was more stressed than I thought I’d be. Waiting was wearing me out. I wanted to know how they had taken the news but no one was there to give me updates. All I could do was wait.Cara returned alone.“I’m sorry, they did not take it too well.”I sat up quickly. “What happene

    Ridian’s POVGetting away from the pack was a big relief, something I hadn’t known I needed. Being away from work and Jane felt like a big chip had been lifted off my shoulder. I was still not sure how I felt about Jane. I resented her, but there was no real hate. I didn’t hate her enough to send her packing, but my actions were clear enough. I was not interested in her as a woman anymore. It seemed she had chosen to be stubborn and stay. As long as she stayed out of my way, it was okay. After all I was the one who had accepted her into the pack. I couldn’t just get rid of her because she hurt my feelings. It was a minor issue. There were issues that warranted being banished but this was not one of them.I was happy where I was, with Cilla and her family. I had grown to like Cilla very much. What drew me in was her simplicity, genuineness and honesty. She was also very beautiful. Cilla did not complicate things and never tried too hard. She had learnt to accept life the way it came an

    Cilla’s POV From the look of things, I could tell that Ridian and I’s relationship was getting serious but I did not expect him to propose to me so soon. I didn’t even know that he had started thinking of marrying me. Marriage meant something big. I was going to be the luna of Blackmoon pack. I, a regular girl turned slave was about to hold the biggest position in one of the most powerful packs. I did not think I was ready. How could I be on top of all those people whose feet I had worshiped just a few weeks ago? I was scared, because I thought they would never accept me. Hell, I did not even have leadership qualities. Nevertheless, I said yes. How could I say no when Ridian was on his knees looking at me like I was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. How could I say no when the most handsome man I had ever met wanted me so much? “Yes, yes, yes.” I yelled and Ridian stood up, pulled me into his arms and gave me a mind-blowing kiss. I melted into him before remembering that t

    Jane’s POVIt had been a month since Ridian decided to embarrass me in front of the whole pack by loving up that silly slave. He had not made any move to chase me from the pack. I was surprised that he thought I was going to be silent and not cause any trouble. I had gone off for a few days with some beta who turned out to be utterly useless, prompting me to return to the pack. Thankfully, I was still accepted back when I begged for forgiveness.Ridian thought I was going to let go of our love, and forget the whole thing. Maybe, I could have, if I had not turned into a laughing stock. Everyone made fun of me and at one point I thought of running away from the pack. Again I was going to do it as soon as I found a good place to go to, but only after getting my revenge. I had suffered way too much humiliation to leave quietly, like a defeated animal.Jamilla, the pack witch was picking some herbs near the boundary. She was wearing a dark blue dress and a black cloak.

  • The Alpha's Enslaved Mate   The fight

    Ridian’s POVAlthough my warriors had strong supernatural powers, they also needed modern weapons. This was because our threats were not always supernatural. Sometimes, we got attacked by humans, and when that happened, we tried as much as possible not to use our supernatural powers in order to avoid exposure.Although humans were naturally weak, they had created great weapons that could destroy civilisations within seconds. For centuries, they had been using those weapons against themselves. If they could destroy themselves, they wouldn’t have any mercy for other beings. They had destroyed our kind before, whenever they discovered them. Humans treated other beings like monsters, and yet they were the worst kind of monsters that had ever walked the earth. They hurt others even when they had not been provoked. “We’re not going to use the human weapons,” I told my warriors as I walked around the straight lines they had made in the clearing by the mines. I had been inspecting them and

He smelled great, and he had a bigger build compared to his brother, which made me feel safer in his arms.“You can leave now,” he said.I froze. “I have not yet spoken about why I really came here.”Brody chuckled. “I don’t care about what you want. We’re done here.”“You can’t just sleep with me and send me away like that.”“I can, and I’m doing it.”“You’re an asshole,” I told him. “You didn’t say that when I was on top of you.”My lips parted and I sat up. “You tore open my top.”“And?”“I need something to wear.”“That’s not my problem. It’s dark anyway, no one will notice, and if they do, they won’t be surprised because you’re a hoe.”“I didn’t know you were like this.”“I didn’t know you were like this as well.

    Cilla’s POVAs soon as Jane left, I rushed to the bedroom and dressed up. I rushed to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face, before washing it and drying with a towel. While I dried my face gently, I called out for one of my personal maids who was in the kitchen preparing my breakfast. “Sarah, come and get my dress.”In less than a minute, Sarah was in the bedroom. Although I had always tried to be nice to her, she always seemed panic stricken. Her previous slave master had traumatized her so much she was unable to believe there were good people in the world. She rushed into the room, carrying a green dress and a pair of matching flats. I finished applying lotion to my body and quickly slipped into the light dress before sitting down at the vanity. Immediately, Sarah came and started brushing my hair. While she was doing that, I was moisturising my face and applying light make up. When that was done, she helped me into my flats and I stood up, ready to step out.“Thank you,

    Cilla.One week later, we assembled the whole of Moonshine pack. We had speeches from both sides and the last speech was Ridian’s. When he made the announcement that Sasha Miller would lead the pack, the crowd erupted in cheers. “Please come forward,” Ridian asked Sasha who seemed so shocked by the announcement she couldn’t move for a while. Eventually, she strode forward in a responsible fashion and the crowd roared once me. I scanned the gathering and found alpha Aragon in tears. He seemed to be very happy that his daughter was going to be in charge. “We have been observing this brilliant young woman for a while since she returned and we have decided that she is the best person to replace her father in the leadership of this pack,” Ridian continued. “We shall talk with the elders so we can have a coronation ceremony as soon as possible. Although your new luna will have to report to me, you’ll have more autonomy over yourselves. We believe she’s the best person to steer this pack to

    CillaWaking up next to my lovelies was the best thing ever. I had slept through the morning. I woke up at 11 am and found Rose and Ren still asleep, their heads on each of my arms. My arms were hurting. When I tried to push them away so I could get up, they opened their eyes and tried to snuggle closer. I chuckled before speaking.“My hands hurt,” I said. They both moved away from them and sat up so I could bring my arms together. The action was painful but it was worth it. I had had the best sleep in a while and would do it a hundred times over. Knowing that Jane was dead and couldn’t hurt us was the icing on the cake.“How did you know where we were?” Rose asked.“I’m your big sister. I know everything.”“No, you don’t.” Rose said.“Seriously,” Ren said.I had noticed that Ren was growing faster, developing the snarky attitude of a teenager before his sister. Since I was now a parent, I had to learn patience and find a way of dealing with him without causing more problems.I told t

    Ridian.“Rose! Ren!” Cilla yelled, while running around the forest with tears streaming down her face. I followed her, begging her to stop for a moment but she couldn’t. She continued running further and further from me. When she finally stopped, she dropped to the ground.“I can’t believe we did everything for nothing,” she said. “You were right. We shouldn’t have wasted time going to the prison. Why did I have to think of such a stupid plan? Now, Jane is dead and I’m the one suffering. What kind of stupid revenge is this? I messed up, Ridian. I’m so stupid.”“No, you’re not.” I told her. “We’re going to find them. I’m sure they’ve run off somewhere. Suddenly, I felt something hit me from the back. “Run, Cilla. I’ve been shot.”Cilla Rose and came behind me, pulling out the arrow quickly. We both turned instantly and started running. We ran until we were out of the forest. George and his human friend were also nowhere to be seen. “What is happening?” Cilla asked. When we got into a

  • The Alpha's Enslaved Mate   The attack

    Ridian.The children’s shelter was surrounded by a wall fence which we easily jumped over. The car remained outside the fence while Cilla and I went in, dressed in our ski masks, the driver waiting for our exit. The shelter had an office building and a boarding house where the children and youth resided in. from our online stalking, we had found out that it was one large hall divided in the middle. One side was for very young children and preteens while the other was for older teens. It was amazing how foolish humans were. How do you claim to be protecting children yet give out all the details about where they lived? It didn’t make sense at all.Ross and Ren were twelve, and that meant they were in the teens section. The website had stated that 11 and below were in the younger children section. This made things easy for us since the younger children had matrons sleeping in their side. The side with older teens had no adults. The guard at the gate was easily taken care of. Cilla had k

    Ridian.The city was called Everdeen City. It took us about three hours to get there by car. When we reached, Cilla and I paid for a suite in a hotel while the warriors went to search for the location of the shelter and prison with the help of Google maps. Science and technology was making things really easy. We waited in out room anxiously for more information while watching the television for more updates. As expected, the police did not give out much information about the investigation. That was annoying. I felt like visiting her but I knew it would alert her on what we were planning to do. I wanted it to be a surprise to her. A few hours later, the men arrived and we were also taken to the place. We drove by the shelter and then the prison where Jane was being held as the police searched for information about the children. We decided we would carry out both operations at night. I found it hard to believe that Jane had been arrested by a human policeman and had failed to defend he

  • The Alpha's Enslaved Mate   The news

    Ridian.It had been two days since Cilla started training with Brody and it was not sitting well with me. I knew that she wasn’t going to do anything with him. I think I was more annoyed by the fact that she had opted to ask him to train her and not me. I was so much better than Brody in everything. It hurt me that she opted to ask him, as if she trusted him more than me. I tried to distract myself with other things but it was hard to stop thinking about the fact that they were both training together. When we were together, everything was mechanical. We did almost everything together and even slept on the same bed but we failed to connect like before. Cilla spent most of her attention on her phone and I ended up doing the same. We were like two strangers living in the same house. Cilla was so depressed that I barely knew what to do with her. I tried to help her but she never seemed receptive or interested in fixing the issues that were bothering us.The only good thing happening was

  • The Alpha's Enslaved Mate   Under arrest

    Jane.Tom was a lanky young man. He was very tall but quite thin. He had a beautiful sweet face and a very nice smile. The first time he smiled at me, I felt my insides warm up. His house was quite messy as it looked like a party of druggies had just ended. The house reeked of smoke and alcohol. It was no place for children but I had nowhere else to take them. While the kids were still unconscious, I quickly tried to clean the house, not for their sake but for mine as well. I didn’t think I’d feel comfortable staying in such a dirty place. If Rody had told me Tom was a mess, I’d have found another place. Tom was watching me as I worked and since I was wearing very short shorts, I decided to give him a good view. I needed him on my side. People are fickle about kids, even bad people. Anyone who wants kids to suffer is a monster that’s beyond saving. There are not many people like that. There was a chance that tom was not like that. I had noted his reaction when he saw me getting them

    RidianWhen Cilla settled into bed next to me, I felt tempted to reach over and pull her close but was somehow able to resist the temptation. I was tired of fixing things. If she wanted the silent treatment, I would give it to her. After all, she was the one who barely showed any happiness after knowing that I was back home. I was beginning to think that she wanted me gone. But hell, that was my pack. There was no way I would abandon it for long. If she didn’t want to see my face, she could leave. I could survive without her, after all.Before she came into the room, I had been about to sleep but now that she was lying right next to me, it was almost impossible to get any sleep, especially since a certain part of my body had decided not to listen to the rational thoughts coming from my mind. It wanted what it wanted and not even my stubbornness was going to stop it. I decided to wait it out since I didn’t want to cave and be the one to make the first move. I was pretty sure Cilla wasn

    Cilla.Defeating the rogues made me feel pretty good about myself. I realized the need for me to train more after that attack. Having realized that Ridian would not always be there to protect me and the pack, it was time for me to better my skills incase stronger enemies decided to attack us. I was very happy with what I had achieved but knew there was need for me to do more.Kenny tried to punch my arm but I expertly dodged it and punched him in the chest instead. I had realized that he was trying to go easy on me and was trying to …him so he could fight back and we’d have a better training. As much as I tried he never budged so I started thinking of getting a new trainer. “Call Brody,” I told Kenny as I went to sit under a tree and drank some water. Kenny concentrated and linked to Brody. I didn’t hear what he was seeing since he was speaking through his mind. Eventually, he came up to where I was.“Are you sure about this?” he asked. “Mr. Jamison is said to be pretty rough on the
