The Alpha’s Secret Hybrid Mate Chapter 11. He found what he was looking for
☉NAIDA I followed the procession as they moved into the vault behind us, as if we were some kind of prisoners. I was scared and confused out of my mind. But if the royals were also locking themselves in, this couldn't be too bad, right—? “Move faster, bitch, are you trying to die tonight?” The maid behind me snarled urgently, pushing me forward. My foot twisted in my garb and I stumbled out of line, nearly falling into the fire. I crashed on my hands and knees, eyes wide in horror. My heart stopped. I was convinced that they were going to realize that I was an intruder, and each breath right now could be my absolute last. But a priestess hissed in a whisper, “You lowlife maids are forbidden to speak during the ritual. You know the punishment for disobedience.” She moved like lightning, grabbing the maid that had pushed me. I hurriedly got up, rejoining the line into the vault. Despite the chaos happening in the background, the priestess wrangled the maid's mouth open to cut

☉NAIDA The bars tore apart like straws. He— It— was in an absolute frenzy. I was pressed against the wall, screaming myself sore as he yanked the bars of solid steel out of the way, those glowing red eyes completely focused on me. What could he want? Did he remember me from the time I barged into his chambers and fled without as much as an apology? Was this my punishment? The priestess was hunched in the corner, undoing the lock on the iron bars. When she finally got it undone, she fled. The maids poured out after her, and I desperately followed them, trying to save myself. But he moved away from the bars and barged into my point of escape, blocking me. “No!” I screamed, falling backward to the floor, scurrying against the wall. He roared at me, those black wisps of power thicker and spreading. This was it. This was how I was going to die. He yanked the rest of the bars still standing, with one hand and flung it across the place. It fell on someone, eliciting a blood-cur

☉NAIDA “I'm not one of your women!” I panicked, struggling against his grip. “I’m just a low-life maid, please let me go! Why isn't the goddess-forsaken Inka powder working?!” He slammed me against the wall, not hard enough to smash my bones, but hard enough to knock the wind out of me. He was bristling with anger, probably confused as to why I was fighting him when his women were usually pliable and submissive to their duties. But this was not my duty! Something had gone very wrong somewhere. His sharp claws ripped my garb apart like it was made of something weaker than paper, exposing my very naked body. I felt so violated, trying to cover myself with the shredded fabric. He roared in my face, completely tearing the fabric away so I had nothing to cover myself with. Defeated, I began to cry. I had never cried this much in a long time, and the tears flowed uncontrollably. It was like all my bottled-up emotions, from the moment of Alpha Cassian's death, till now, finally f

☉ELDARIEN The oldest, and most experienced priestess in all Ravthorn, was on her knees before me. She repeatedly pressed her head to the ground, a gesture of complete submission. The four other priestesses behind her followed her lead. They remained pressed to the floor, waiting for my permission to rise. I looked over them, utterly unimpressed and utterly bored. A maid stood by the door, her hands clenched in front of her, and her face permanently tilted to the floor. By the absolute tension radiating off her slight figure, it was apparent that she would rather be involved in any menial task than stand before me. I looked back at the priestesses bowed at the foot of my seat. They had to come into my chambers to explain themselves, as I had not stepped out ever since I woke up deep within the bowels of the catacombs. It was irritating seeing them like that, sniveling and groveling like every other person in the pack. “Rise.” They all looked relieved as they lifted their

☉NAIDA I have never slept for this long. My face felt swollen when I woke, with every part of my body aching terribly. It's been what, a few days since the ritual, but I still had not recovered. And it was the first time in a long time that my sleep had not been cut short by nightmares. I was too mentally drained to even dream. “You're finally awake.” Eolia's soft voice came from a corner of the room. I shifted to look at her. She was curled near the window, reading a book. The maids who had been part of the ritual usually had the rest of the week off, and the feast usually didn't end till the week was over. And, I obviously couldn't do anything. So, all we had done was sleep and eat. “I found those medicinal herbs I was talking about.” She gestured to the bowl of water sitting in the corner. “And some ointments, for your bruises.” “You're the best, Eolia,” I sighed, pulling my aching body off the bed, “Thank you.” There were a series of pink and purplish bruises tha

☉NAIDA The demon I had encountered in the catacombs could not even be called “small” as a joke. His aura and power alone swept through stones and boulders, making torches light themselves up. Those dark wisps of power encasing his naked form were ominous, curling through the air for prey to devour. His physical form was even more imposing than usual, and he was already built like a muscled tower. But he had recognized me. A shiver tore my spine, heat bubbling under my skin. Those stormy grey eyes had seen my fear, he had heard my cries far beyond his possessed state. And he had carried me off to safety. Something ached between my legs, shocking me. I should not be feeling this easy towards a situation that almost cost me my life. But I was. My traitorous body wanted nothing more. “I'm just glad you weren't hurt,” She said. “If he had had his way with you… your cover would have been blown, Naida. Everyone within the castle would want to know the maid the Alpha king had chose

☉NAIDA “Come here, pretty little bird,” One of the male servants stalked closer, “Let me see what precious little lady bits you have hidden under that hideous garment!” I could smell his rank breath from where I stood, along with the odious odor wafting out from his bushy underarms. Grime lined every joint in his body, he was the biggest of them all, and his tunic was grossly stained with goddess-knows-what. My heart broke into a churn of dread, as I stepped back, holding my arms out as if to stop his advancement. “Athelia,” I said, barely able to hold back the terrible anger bubbling up my throat. “Tell your little minions to get away from me, right now.” The men jeered, encroaching into my space one step at a time. Athelia had taken up a spot by the far wall, twisting two strands of her hair together, leisurely. She was smiling giddily, eyes glinting with so much excitement, it made me wonder if she had done something like this before, to some other unfortunate maid. A t

☉NAIDA I looked up to see Eolia cutting through the crowd to where I sat in the corner, in a puddle of water. “Oh my goddess, were you in there? I heard that there was a fire in this part of the male quarters…what happened? Are you hurt?!” “I'm fine, Eolia, I was only caught in the smoke. The fire started way deeper down the building.” I lied. I had been in the fire. Even before it exploded, I had felt it under my skin, rising with my anger…before everything went up in flames right before my eyes. But how was that possible? The fire didn't miss any of the pigs that had been trying to rape me. No, it sought them out, licking their skin and drying their blood… almost like it was avenging me. But I could not tell Eolia any of that. Not yet. Not here. I couldn't quite understand or believe what had even happened back there. She sighed, looking back at the building, where most of the fire had already been extinguished, leaving blackened walls and white smoke. A few men had hur

The Alpha’s Secret Hybrid Mate Chapter 33. This feeling
☉ELDARIEN The bruised areas on her skin were gone, returning to the flawless pale skin of the rest of her. Licking her injuries worked faster than whatever medicinal brew was present in the pool, and she was fast asleep, far more peaceful after her nightmares had made her cry again and I had soothed her back to sleep. It was frustrating, those nightmares, an adversary I couldn’t kill. As she fiercely guards her little secret, it's all I can do to protect her from those who see her fire and try to extinguish it. Those rosy, golden embers that could become infernos someday. I stood as far away as my self-control would allow, feeling the pulsing mate pull grow stronger and stronger each day. Each day, the war waged within me grew bloodier, with no end in sight. My everlasting desire to be with my destined mate, and this new, yet potent desire to be with Naida. It was driving me insane. My eyes roamed over her one more time. Small and delicate, curled in the middle of the be
The Alpha’s Secret Hybrid Mate Chapter 32. I must be dreaming
☉NAIDA Clothes and all, he stepped into the water, and I gasped as the delicious heat of it permeated my clothes and skin. My blush was definitely blinding, considering that my face was hotter than the fireplace itself. He perched me on one of the steps and reached for the washcloth and soap folded to the side. “I—I think… you don't have to do this, Your Majesty—” His look told me everything I needed to know. He lathered up the washcloth and ran it down my arm, washing off the dust over the skin to reveal the ugly purple bruise blooming. His eyes darkened, and for a moment, the damper on his aura slipped, letting out a blast of invisible energy that knocked a few things off a shelf in the corner. “It doesn't hurt that much,” I said quickly, and it was a lie, reaching to take the washcloth from him. “Here, let me do it...” I only succeeded in placing my hand on his. The jolt of attraction that barged through that point of contact made me withdraw instantly. “The water has me
The Alpha’s Secret Hybrid Mate Chapter 31. Safe in his arms
☉NAIDA The royal guard was choking. His eyes were wide and rimmed with red, face slowly turning purple as he clutched at his neck with his free hand. He couldn't understand what was happening, and neither could I, but I knew I was responsible. The ugly hate and terror in my chest had morphed into a pungent and venomous desire to see him dead. The urges were so strong that I reveled in every desperate gasp he made, in a futile attempt to get air into his lungs. But then, using his grip on my arm, he pushed me hard against the wall. The impact was so painful that I gasped, and that mere second cut off my concentration. The air rushed back into his lungs, and he stopped choking. He gulped in as much air as he could, until he was laughing at my shriveled-up form in the dust. “You thought you had a chance of escape?” He grabbed my ankles. “The dungeons seem too far at this point! This alley is as good a place as any!” “No! Stop!” I fought him with everything I had, but that onl
The Alpha’s Secret Hybrid Mate Chapter 30. Stain of lust
☉NAIDA I gaped at her, a smile forming on my face. I knew exactly who she was talking about. It had to be the kind old man who had saved me from the Ivorythorn guards and smuggled me into Ravthorn in the secret compartment of his perfume carriage. I had to see him again and thank him for his help. I told Eolia about him, and we both hurried our steps to his large store on the less busy side of the market. Only to see a small crowd gathered there, and listen to the cries and wails coming from within. “What's going on here?” Eolia inched forward, pulling me through the crowd. My heart had dropped into the cesspool of dread in my stomach. My tongue tasted bitter, a chill taking over my skin. Because instinctively, I knew what had happened here. I had been exposed to death one too many times, that the smell and taste of it were now familiar to my senses. We finally broke through to the front of the crowd and saw what they were gathered around. On a wooden cart, an old man lay

☉NAIDA “He's so—! He knows what he's doing, I'm telling you, Eolia!” I huffed, biting into the fruit bread in my hands. “Or that's just what comes with the position of being his personal maid, Naida. You are sure to see him in various forms of undress.” She laughed softly, holding on to the poles of the open carriage we were riding in. “Many maids would kill for such an opportunity, why are you complaining?” I sighed. She wouldn't understand, after all, other maids barely set eyes on the king. They had no idea what he was like. I did too, but with every second spent in his presence, I uncovered new sides of him. Like the incredible sensuality that roiled off him in thick waves. He was sex personified. Hybrid or not, he was a sexual being. And as a sex-crazed maiden, desperately trying to remain under control, it was torment to be around him. It was unbelievable how he had no mistresses or whores lounging around his chambers for his sole pleasure. After that particularly in
The Alpha’s Secret Hybrid Mate Chapter 28. On purpose
☉NAIDA He got up from his seat and prowled towards me. I remained in my curtsey, staring at the floor with wide eyes. “Rise,” He said gently. I hesitated, because he was standing so close. I was scared that I would unravel if I gazed up at him, give in to my forbidden urges. But he made the decision for me. His finger hooked under my chin and lifted my face. “What's your full name?” “Naida Ashryver.” He was so close, so warm, and the sweet scent of wine clung to him. My eyes were locked to his, and it burned, burned, burned just to behold his magnificence up close. “Naida Ashryver,” He repeated, my name sounding so silky and sensual on his tongue. “Whatever it is that plagues you in your nightmares, it can't reach you here. You're safe.” He was so solid. So strong, like I could melt into him and forget about everything else. But that was not my place. “Thank you for your concern, my king.” I stepped away from him. “Good night.” 🀫🀆🀫 I could not sleep for the rest of
The Alpha’s Secret Hybrid Mate Chapter 27. Untamed arousal
☉NAIDA I was in a pool of blood, in utter darkness. The floor gave out under me, and my entire body sank into the blood. I screamed so hard my lungs bled, scratching the surrounding floors for anchor, as cold hands dragged me deeper into the blood. I kicked, but the blood around my legs felt like quicksand, devouring me faster the harder I struggled. I was trapped. The cold hands climbed higher up my legs, and something began to emerge from the pool of blood. Alpha Cassian, with his dead green eyes, and a knife lodged in his heart. My body flung itself into a sitting position, with a strangled scream shattering the tranquility of the cool night. I curled my legs closer to my body, panting and shivering off the goosebumps from the nightmare. Only after a couple of moments, did I realize that I was curled in a cocoon of soft furs and cool black sheets that felt like heaven. I blinked through the darkness, with the only source of light coming from the rays of moonlight filterin
The Alpha’s Secret Hybrid Mate Chapter 26. Curled into a ball
☉ELDARIEN Thunder boomed ahead, as potent as the sudden tension radiating between us. If he was expecting to provoke me, well, that didn't work. I just stared at him with narrowed eyes as he hurled out as many hurtful things as he could. Then he was heaving, glaring at me like he wasn't sure who to focus his anger on. “You could help me have my revenge,” He snarled. “But I won't bother asking, because you won't. One would think you were part of the Eldermagyn, yourself.” He brushed past me, prowling through the ruins of his pack. I stared ahead, feeling the slow rage simmering under my skin. No, my rage wasn't directed at him. But at the Eldermagyn, because I have hated them for so long. I breathe, eat, and sleep imagining how it would feel to drain the life out of the ageless witch and flay her council of werewolves alive. Lorthian was in deep grief, I could excuse his behavior. A severed mate bond was a terrible thing. Many werewolves never survived the pain. But he would
The Alpha’s Secret Hybrid Mate Chapter 25. A storm of grief and anger
☉ELDARIEN Lightning flashed along the sky with a crack, illuminating Lorthian's crouched body amid this rubble. Even through the distance, and under the pelting storm, I could scent his tears. I remained in my spot, giving him the privacy he obviously needed. Seeing the wet, charred body in his arms, his newly found mate had really been killed. I remembered how excited he had seemed when he passed the message across to me through the scouts. Despite being mostly a brute, Lorthian had a loving heart, towards family, friends, his pack members, and ultimately, his mate. Now she was dead. It was a familiar yet incomparable sorrow. For me, I knew my mate was out there, yet I could not find her. But for him, he had already found her, only to have her ripped away. Thunder rumbled ahead, releasing more rain which stoned against my skin in vengeance. I peeled my eyes away from my grieving friend and looked around the completely destroyed surroundings. It was a sea of black ash, wit
