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 A Great Lord
Larog's POV I had to return to Ghysem however as I could not delay my plans any further. As I approached Ghysem I saw mourning candles burning in the street and there were chrysanthemums littered everywhere as though a great lord had died. Everyone was also clad in black and I began to wonder what had happened. I also felt off because I had on a blue tonic and this elicited raised eyebrows although, no one paid much attention to me. As I neared the palace, all became clear to me. The pack was mourning the death of Lord Salmon. But why? If anything he should be regarded as a criminal. This deeply angered me but I was going to get my answers when I entered the palace.When I entered the palace I saw a procession of people waiting at the entrance. I asked my coachman to ask what was going on. He returned a few minutes later. “The palace has been shut up; they will not admit anyone today,” he said. “Well, you tell whoever is there that it is I that has come and I have urgent business
The Alpha's Slave A Great Lord II
Theophilus' POV“We would give you two privacy,” Cyrus had said as he and Theo exited the room. When it had been only us my father said, “You are no child Phil; one day you were going to mourn me.” “It was not supposed to be today or tomorrow or even next year! Why didn't you say something when you had been brought back to Ghysem? What type of sickness is it?” I said, my voice infected by tears. “Son, do not cry over things that you cannot…” “It is not too late, I will get Cain. There was even a heart surgery done for Lady Asher. You can get help and if Cain cannot help there are other options. I made some friends abroad; there's a really great physician in…” “Phil! My time is up; I may not even make it till tomorrow. I would just like us to spend my last hours reminiscing about the good times, okay? Can you do that for me?” he had asked, his tone pleading. “Father, you…” I broke into sobs. “Let us pretend that you have spent eight moon seasons alive and Isabella, Oh! beautiful
The Alpha's Slave A Shadow Of Worry
Agnes' POV I had given up hope that I could escape Larog when he returned to the room in a fit of rage. He had levied several accusations against me but I had remained quiet. I could see that he was pissed but he had not hit me as much as I had expected. He continued to fail on top of his voice that he attracted the attention of the management and someone had to come and ask what was happening in the room. He has cooked off after that. He went out after that and when he returned this time he ordered me to enter the wooden box and too tired to resist him, I complied. As soon as he had shit the lid of the wooden box, the lid was open again but this time not by Larog. At first, I had been certain that someone had found out that he was trafficking a person, and as this was a human colony, the threat would be taken quite seriously except he could provide documents that he had bought me as a slave. I would not put it past him if he could provide such evidence. I believed that he would ha
The Alpha's Slave Wedding Of The Year
“His corpse is still fresh; his soul still very present with us, he should be allowed to attend the wedding,” responded Lord Marshall. “Attend the wedding? You want a corpse to attend the wedding?” I quipped. It was sad that my father had died but I could not imagine bringing his corpse to my wedding. It was not because I cared much but rather for the sake of my bride. “It is not just a corpse it is your father that we speak of,” returned Lord Marshall. “I know but Moana deserves a proper wedding,” I voiced. I knew that although she was present she may be unable to voice her discomfort so she would not seem disrespectful to her father but I cared little for showing him any respect and l would like it if my wife-to-be communicated her discomfort rather than just following through with any decision. “It would not be a proper wedding if my father-in-law is not in attendance,” said Moana. It was the first thing she had said at the start of this meeting. I gave her a strange look. Had

Theophilus stood at the edge of the clearing, observing the scene before him.

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 structure, hidden beneath a thick layer of earth and foliage, had provided safety and refuge d
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.

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.

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.

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.

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
