The Alpha's Slave The Perfect Dress
Larog's POV “As I have said, you are too kind with your words,” I said and while their words were kind, I could not shake off the feeling in the pit of my stomach that something was not right. “Would you mind stopping by at the council? Altid mentioned he could use your insight in managing the council's finances,” said Cyrus. I did not like how this conversation had turned out to be but I had no choice but to comply. “I will stop by at the council although I am sure there's nothing much I have to offer,” I said. “Just put Altid through some things. He's great at everything but the finances of the council is a mess; he needs help.” I left Cyrus' presence feeling as though he had told me one thing but meant some other things. However, there was no evidence to suggest that he was lying to me. Moana's POVAll about me was a hive of activities. I had a lot to do with limited time to do it. It did not help that my mother had died and I had all uncles and their wives were all snubs who
The Alpha's Slave The Eyes Of A Traitor
Moana's POV“It’s beautiful!” “Lovely!” “Ladies, it's perfect!” I said, excitement welling up in my voice. “Now that we have the dress settled, we need to make arrangements for the hall; will it be full of flowers?” “Or butterflies?” “Or snowflakes?” One would think that it was them getting married or they were wedding planners. A smile played on my face, I did not need any mother or aunty to help plan my wedding; I had my friends. “What snowflakes? what butterflies?” it was Philemona, another close friend of mine. “You're late and you're all so bossy,” remarked Hannah as they hugged. “Well, well, unlike you two I do have an actual job,” replied Philemona. “But I am sorry I am late; I had to ensure the fabrics were all in order; I see you've found your dress,” she said and her tone did not bear much excitement. “I think it is perfect, you do not think so, do you?” I asked. “I think you can do much better. The colour does not go well with your pale white skin,” and now that
The Alpha's Slave Professor Cain
Cyrus' POV “Grandmother, you have come again with your one-of-a-kind insight. How would you know the eyes of a traitor? Does it have traitor written on it?” I questioned her jocally. “You do know there is wisdom that comes with living and I have lived long before you were born,” she said to me. “I will assume that you are right for even a second; what do you mean I surround myself with people like Larog?” I asked.“Oh, I have to express my discomfort with that friendship you have with that thing that follows you about?” questioned Lady Asher. “Theo. I see. Is there a reason you have come to see me today?” I asked. I should have known she would find a way to rope Theo into the conversation. She always tried to do so at every point. “I have come to…” but just then she began to clutch her chest in pain. I jumped from my throne to hold her steady but she had lasted out already. Theo entered just then and I shouted, “Get the carriage ready, we need to go to the infirmary, now!” Minu
The Alpha's Slave A Time Crunch
Larog's POV I hated that I had to come here so often but I had no choice. I had to find out more about Minerva and see if I could recruit her to my side. If I could strike a deal with her whatever she was or blackmail her into becoming a part of my plan it would be very helpful. We could win Cyrus' throne without much bloodshed by simply playing mind games. However, one thing baffled me. Was it that she could only manipulate the minds of humans or she had chosen not to manipulate mine just to make me appear foolish or perhaps to show me that she had unfathomable powers? “This should get you in without many questions; you have about thirty minutes in total once you flash this ID before it is discovered that it is fake. If you cannot leave before thirty minutes is up then you risk being caught and if you are caught; you are on your own,” said Picasso. “I understand, I shall take my leave now.” I left Picasso's place feeling and headed to the council house there. It also doubled as t
The Alpha's Slave A Horrid Dream
Adrianna's POV I was getting suffocated staying cooped up in the palace all day with nothing to do. I wanted to ledge rather desperately but I could not do so just yet. The physician in charge of my care had to ensure that I was alright before he could release me. I had not just been stabbed else I would have healed quickly as my body would have healed itself eventually. The spear that had pierced me had been poisoned. I was anxious to leave however and I suspected Cyrus or Theo did not want me to leave because I felt fine and the wound had healed. Perhaps the physician was lying to me on their orders. There is a knock on my door and I tell the person on the other side to come inside. It is Theo. “Good morning, Adrianna,” he greeted and acknowledged his greeting by responding with “hello.” I was not pleased to see him except he had come to tell me that he would allow me to return to my house. Although I did commend their efforts in not allowing my father to discover that I was he
The Alpha's Slave A Robbery Attack I
Adrianna's POV I stood up cautiously and grabbed the lamp by my bedside. Then stealthily, I made my way to the door. I could see no one but I felt the presence hang heavily in the room. I felt as though someone had brushed my back and I turned around with speed ready to hit whoever it was hard on the head but I met only with air. But I did feel it; the sword passing through me but I could see nobody in the room.The door was pushed open just then and Theo came in. His face turned white when he saw the word jutting out of my stomach. Just as I was about to collapse to the ground Theo held my hand. As my eyes began to shut my body down I had one name on my lips. Audrey. Audrey's POV “Was the shadow successful this time?” I asked Cecile who stood before me with her face bowed. “He is not sure. He says he stabbed her but Theo was there just in time to take her to the infirmary; it is possible that she survives this,” came her response. “It is your job to ensure that she does not
The Alpha's Slave A Robbery Attack II
Cyrus' POV I received the note from Tom with much joy. I had penned my response at once and sent it as I understood the urgency of the situation. Fortunately, Theophilus had come to visit his father so it was not hard to confer on the next step. “I have sent a note telling them that their deaths shall be staged. I do not understand Audrey's intention for sending them here nor do we have the time to decipher that. I believe the best thing for us to do is to stage their deaths,” I explained once I had gathered them together.“Their deaths? I don't like it. How shall my father reappear into society if he is to be dead now?” questioned Theophilus. “The Alpha has sent them a note already; we need to discuss how the deaths shall be staged. We have just you and Theo to help stage their deaths. I suggest you pretend to be a robber and fire some shots and make some threatening sounds to scare passersby,” suggested Lord Salmon. “How do we account for the bodies? I am certain Audrey will hav
The Alpha's Slave An Attempt To Escape
Disclaimer: This chapter contains sensitive content. Larog's POV I had been waiting for news all day to know what had happened to Lord Salmon. I hoped that the plan would go according as planned but I was to be proved wrong because nothing went as planned. Instead, I received a letter from Audrey informing me that Lord Salmon had died in a robbery on the night he had been sent to Ghysem. The letter threw me into a rage of fury. Now there was no way we could snatch the bridge contract from Theophilus. That was not completely through however, we could still kidnap Theophilus and render him unable to do the work, or better still we could incapacitate him. We could make him lose function in his legs in a terrible accident or lose his sight. I smiled as different ideas came to mind. All hope was not lost then; we still stood a chance. I wrote a note to Audrey reminding her to send Agnes to me posthaste and ensuring that nothing happened to her on the way.I could not afford to lose A

The Alpha's Slave Labour
Theophilus stood at the edge of the clearing, observing the scene before him. The war had left this part of the kingdom in shambles, but now, with peace restored, the arduous process of rebuilding had begun. The air was thick with the scent of earth and freshly turned soil as workers unearthed the entrances to the underground shelters where the people had sought refuge during the conflict.He walked through the village, greeting the townsfolk who were emerging from their subterranean hideouts. The once desolate and war-torn area was now a hive of activity. Men and women toiled side by side, lifting beams, hammering nails, and repairing the damage. Children, their faces smeared with dirt, played amidst the construction, their laughter a hopeful sign of better days to come.Theophilus paused at the entrance of one of the larger shelters, admiring the ingenuity and resilience of his people.

The Alpha's Slave Justice
Lady Asher's screams echoed through the dimly lit chambers of the southern palace, the sound waves reverberating off the stone walls. Sweat drenched her body, soaking through the linen sheets as she clung to the bedposts, her strength waning with each contraction. The midwives hovered around her, whispering words of encouragement, their hands steady and practiced as they guided her through the agony.The air was thick with the scent of herbs—rosemary and lavender—mingling with the coppery tang of blood, a primal smell that signaled new life.

Her heart ached with the weight of her secret, the burden of hiding her true feelings from the world.But on a day before she was to return to Ghysem, she realized something was amiss. Her monthly blood flow had not come, and a subtle queasiness had taken up residence in her stomach.

His arms wrapped around her, warm and reassuring, holding her close as if he'd never let her go."What brings yo
The Alpha's Slave A Secret Affair
Lad—Ashlynn,” she said in a shaky voice, her words little more than a breath. She originally had meant to say her title, Lady Asher, but there was something about the warmth Ares was giving her that made her change her mind.Ares' eyes were shown in delight. "A beautiful name for a beautiful young lady!" he exclaimed, awed by her queenly form. Her midnight locks flowed down her back like liquid ebony, highlights of chestnut shimmering in the light. Her emerald eyes were so deep, it felt as though they could look into his very spirit.Their talk had flowed along easily, as water flows along a gently inclined plain. They had said nothing for hours.Not only did Ashlynn possess ravishing beauty, but her intellect, her passion for art, and the gentle strength she exuded intrigued Ares.

The Alpha's Slave The Meeting
A sad smile graced Lady Asher's face. She took in a deep breath and then wiped a nonexistent tear as her mind floated back to her younger days.The tension of the war that had separated the North from the South had eased up a bit. It was not forbidden for citizens of Ghysem to venture into the South or vice versa. It was during the winter, and Lady Asher Ashlynn's husband had been sent on an errand by the king.Life was beginning to bore her, and she did not want to feel like a burden to her friend, who was queen. Usually, she would spend her whole day with her best friend, but her friend had duties to attend to, and she often felt like she was in the way.Ashlynn had seen the whole of the North, and her curiosity often made her wonder about the depths of the South.

It was the perf
The Alpha's Slave Nightmares
Soldiers had been dispersed all over Ghysem and the south which has now become a part of Ghysem. They had sent word to other neighboring packs in the West and East so there was no place for Lady Asher to hide. Each day was spent in anguish and constant nightmares for Cyrus. He kept seeing himself hanging from the ceiling with a black veil on his wrist. Other times, he would see Agnes; her face contorted in pain as she swung from the ceiling, a black veil tied around her wrist and anytime he cut the rope, trying to save her it would be too late.He would end up bringing down a lifeless body.Then he would wake up, covered in sweat and panting heavily like he was fighting a physical war. Tonight was one of those nights Cyrus was drenched in his sweat. His breathing was ragged and then his hands shaky with fear. He felt around the bedside table for a lantern and a match, then struck it to flame the lantern. He sat up properly this time and looked towards where Agnes lay, to be sure she
