Dead and gone

last update Last Updated: 2022-11-29 03:30:21

A bloodcurdling scream awoke me from a deep slumber. Sitting up, I ran to the window and looked out. I saw three men running towards the woods where I assumed the scream had come from. Seconds later, I saw one of the men with hands around a seamstress’s body leading her out of the woods. She was crying and letting her tears fall freely. Turning to the room, I removed my nightdress and put on my maid uniform. Passing by the bathroom, I washed my face. There was no time for anything else.

A crowd had gathered under the rows of trees. They were looking at something at the centre of the circle they had formed.

“What’s going on?” I asked a man wearing a red shirt.

“See for yourself,” he said, stepping aside. I went forward only to fall to the ground a few seconds later.

When I came to, I was in my room and Maryanne was pacing about.

“Tell me he’s not dead,” I said.

Maryanne turned. “He is, unfortunately. Someone said they saw you leaving the building at night and I was informed to take you

    PunishmentI watched in horror as Dane picked out a whip from the many hanging off the wall. He took his hand and studied it, as if testing its efficiency. Memories of my last whipping flooded my mind and I could almost feel the pain on my body.I wanted to speak, to beg for forgiveness but the words couldn’t come out. I remained frozen in silence, watching as Dane made his way to me, taking large measured strides, typical of a man on a mission. He stopped in front of me. Since I was kneeling and couldn’t look up, I stared at his sandals. He had huge legs which thin toes which was a bit strange. His brown feet were ashy and dry as if he hadn’t put lotion on them for decades.“Undo the top part of your dress,” he said, going to stand behind my back. My body stiffened as it prepared itself for what was to come. The whip came down hard and sent pain all over my back. Then there was another, and another. I couldn’t stop the sobs that wrecked my body as strokes rained all over my back. Th

  • The Alpha's Enslaved Mate   Dare to be tough

    The next few days passed by with no major incident. After the consequences of my last actions, I knew keeping a low profile was what I needed to avoid getting into the spotlight. The spotlight usually meant danger and pain for me. However, there was a certain pain I could not escape, the pain of my mate sleeping with someone else. Whenever it happened, my entire body felt like it was breaking into pieces on the inside. My stomach would feel like someone was twisting a knife around my internal organs. The pain in my head nearly made it explode, and yet I could not tell anyone about it. Only Grace knew what was wrong with me during those times but never bothered to offer any help.Sometimes I would walk around like a zombie knocking things around because my head was too muddled. As days went by, I began to have a lot of thoughts about my siblings whereabouts so when I found out that there was a witch living in the pack, I decided to grab the chance to get information.Apparently, they

    He stopped in front of me and unbuckled his belt. Just when I thought he was going to use it to beat me, he undid the top buttoning of his khaki trousers. My heart started hammering faster when he pulled the zip down and showed me dark underwear. A faint smell permeated from there and I turned my head to stop myself from throwing up.Dane let his trousers fall to the floor and pulled out his dick from his underwear. He grabbed my head and forced me to look at it. It was erect, and uncircumcised. The smell was stronger and I confirmed the origin. He grabbed his dick with his free hand and tried to force it through my lips but my teeth were clenched so hard it could not go through.“Bitch,” he let go of his stinking member and slapped me before trying again. This time I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I threw up all over his dick. When I looked at his face, Dane looked like he was about to kill me.Dane walked away from me and went to the bed, quickly grabbing a sheet and wiping his dick.

    The next day, Dane was nowhere to be seen. He usually came around in the mornings but no one saw him that day. No one talked about him. Was I the only one who knew he was dead? I thought about the previous’ day’s events all day. However much Maryanne tried to pressure me, I did not give her any details. The Dane issue was disturbing my mind.The announcement was made during dinner time. The warrior who had shot Dane informed everyone that Dane was gone, although he didn’t specify what type of ‘gone’ he meant. People started whispering, wondering whether he meant that Dane was dead, had turned rogue or gone to live around humans.For a moment, I thought life would be better with Dane gone but all those hopes were extinguished when Dane’s replacement entered the hall and started walking to the front to join the warrior. There was a collective gasps from the female population followed by constant murmuring.The man was tall, and huge. He was bigger and looked more threatening than Dane.

  • The Alpha's Enslaved Mate   Sleepless

    I barely slept that night. I kept turning and tossing, wondering why he had left me just like that. All my insecurities came back to me. Did I smell so bad I turned him off? Did he realise that it was a mistake? I desperately wanted to know what was going on in his mind. If he didn’t want me, why did he kiss me in the first place? Was he a psycho who just wanted to see me suffer?Eventually, I managed to sleep. I even survived the next day, thanks to all the work I had to do. MaryAnn claimed to be sick and I didn’t ask her to prove it because I needed the work in order to take things off my mind. I had not stopped thinking of that second’s long kiss. His lips had been on mine for but a second but it had felt phenomenal. I had known that I was going to enjoy it. Unfortunately for me, it ended before I could enjoy it. Which was a good thing because enjoying it would have made me crave more, and yet I couldn’t have it. Or maybe I could. Maybe he had changed his mind and actually wante

    As the day wedding day closer, excitement was at an all-time high. Everyone couldn’t wait for the day, including the slaves. I tried all my best to ignore everything and focus on myself but it was almost impossible when everyone kept talking about it.Soon, the day reached. On that day, I woke up with a strong feeling of dread. My mate had not yet officially rejected me and it was bothering me. I hoped that he would finally get the guts to do it before marrying Jane. Somehow, the pain in my heart felt even worse on that day. It had never disappeared, but had dulled down with time. The heat had gone down as well, until he resurrected it by kissing me. However, I tried to focus more on the negative feelings I had for him.It was a morning from hell. Everyone was exempted from work that day so I decided I would just spend the whole day in bed. I could hear loud music coming from the side of the pack house. It was slow love music which made me feel even worse. The tears found their way i

  • The Alpha's Enslaved Mate   The pack house

    The pack house was bigger than it looked on the outside. There were four floors and so many rooms. Cara showed me all the rooms in the ground floor. They all looked grand, befitting the castle it was. The living room was large. It had golden pillars and a golden chandelier at the centre. The high ceiling was decorated with gold and blue, making it look absolutely majestic, a sight to behold. There were couches placed in three different spots of the room along with glass centre tables. Portraits were hung at different points of the cream coloured wall and grand carpeting covered up the floor. After the living room was a large rectangular hall with long tables with rows of chairs. On the opposite side was a grand kitchen, pantry and buttery. There was even a fireplace. After exploring all the rooms on that floor, we got on the large stairway led to the upper floors. The upper floors were not as interesting because they consisted mainly of housing units for several people in the pack.

    I helped with a number of chores in the kitchen. I even found myself having a normal conversation with Cara and the other two women thereby getting to know them better. They were so much nicer than Grace and Mirta back in the slave kitchen. But then again, these two worked in better conditions.Mrs. Mary Miller had two teenage daughters and her husband was one of the top warriors of the pack. Her counterpart Miss Agnes Keller had never got married and did not have children because her mate died when she was quite young. She had never been interested in being with anyone after that. She was proud of her spinsterhood, and loved that she had less to worry about compared to those who had husbands and children. As long as she was okay, she could sleep safe and sound. I even found out that there a number of high fuel power generators used in the pack since hydroelectricity poles did not reach there. Back at the slave quarters, we only had solar energy for light and used rudimentary technol

    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

    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

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
