The Alpha's Slave A Plan To Disinherit Theophilus
Tom’s POVAudrey had been in a foul mood since King Ares' had come to pay her a visit. I had thought that I had seen her in her worst mood but I was wrong; she was even more irritable now than ever. She was barking orders at everyone and at the slightest provocation she would throw something in any direction that pleased her. I had been a victim of one of her spontaneous throws and the worst part was that she had mandated me to follow her everywhere. She began to descend to the cells beneath and I followed her even though this place gave me chills. The only thing that was bearable about this place was the presence of the Luna. She stopped in front of a cell and told me to open the small gate to the cell. I knew who was on the other end; it was the other shapeshifter Theo had left behind. “Salmon; I have missed your face,” said Audrey with a sadistic smile. “I think it is time you return home, what do you say to that, huh? You must miss your son very much and a little birdie told m
The Alpha's Slave Mind Games
Larog's POV I am at the inn thinking about my next move. Given the audit, I was not certain it was safe to return to Ghysem just yet. I had to be sure that upon my arrival I would not be arrested and locked up. Although I had stolen money from the council in such a way that it would almost be impossible to detect and in fact, the kidding funds could be summed up to be a matter of financial error one could never be too certain. As I contemplated what to do the curtain by my bedside fluttered and when I opened it, I saw a note had been placed there. I opened the note and at once I could tell it was from my mole in the council. He was letting me know that the audit had yielded nothing and things had returned to normal in the council. This was good news indeed. Just to be certain that the note had not been written under duress I checked for the code I had given to my men to let me know when they were being forced to write something but it was not there. I was satisfied. This meant I cou
The Alpha's Slave A Job Well-Done
Larog's POV “Susan?” I quipped, startled. This was Gertrude through and through and she had that look in her eyes that told me she was aware; she was taunting me. Minerva was taunting me. Making me appear constantly stupid. “What do you mean by Susan? Gertrude? Are you not Gertrude?” I asked, stupefied. “Who is Gertrude? Susan? Have you been going around telling people your name is Gertrude? My daughter can be a bit mischievous that way,” Picasso chuckled. “Your daughter? Like your biological daughter?” I looked wide-eyed at Picasso. “Of course; she looks a lot like her mother but she does have my nose,” Picasso returned with a smile and when I did look from Gertrude's face to his I could see a tinge of resemblance. “We have met, no?” I asked the girl. “I do not know you, mister,” she replied but her eyes told me that she did remember me but she was going to pretend otherwise anyway. “You should leave now. Susan, do see this man out,” said Picasso. Once we were outside Picass
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 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.

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.

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.
