The Alpha's Slave The Need For A Criminal
Cyrus' POV “Your Majesty, we only do what is required of us, we are…” but he did not get to finish his sentence before he collapsed to the ground clutching his chest. I had expected that I would not get any valuable testimony from the shapeshifters but I had not expected to have so many of them here. They had to be at least a quarter of my entire officials and they were not from Ghysem. They had been recruited by someone from the South pack. “Theo, what do you say we do? huh?” I asked my right hand although my eyes were on Larog. I had to credit him for his good acting skills. He did not even seem unfazed by what was happening. “Burn them and I suggest we start rooting shapeshifters not registered in the palace. It might be that we are breeding traitors,” came Theo's response. “What do you suggest Larog?” “I agree with Theo. There may be more shapeshifters than we think.” “But it would not solve anything. We'll root them out only for them to be replaced. We need to find out who
The Alpha's Slave Harvesting organs
“We still need to figure out what to do with all of them,” Theo reminded us. I looked at the crowd of shapeshifters in the temple with us and back at Larog. I wanted to gauge how much of a loss this would be to him but he did not seem to be affected by it. I knew he was pretending though because he was tapping his small finger against the pillar closest to him. However, I could also tell it was not enough to disrupt his plans. “We should burn them. They are worthless criminals…” “Larog, how can you be so…” one of them started to say and before either I or Theo could react Larog had cut his head off. “What was that about? He knew your name?” I quipped. I was not surprised but I acted like it. “Do you think there's a shapeshifter impersonating you? You could be in danger. We should have you here, protected in the palace just to be…” “I am fine. I have been a spy all my life. I can handle someone impersonating me, it could even turn out to be an advantage,” was his quick response.
The Alpha's Slave A New Heart
Cyrus' POV “They tell me you have found a heart for me. I thought we had run out of prisoners who were matches for me?” Lady Asher was a unique woman. She was best friends with my grandmother when she had been alive and the two were such a unique peer that they were suspected to have a relationship beyond friendship. They managed to shock everyone by marrying twins, identical ones. “Well, grandmother what can I say? Your current heart no longer loves me I think that I may as well give you another that can,” I replied her jocally and we both laughed. “Your Majesty, the news about… Lady Asher,” Theo tipped his head in her direction when he saw her. She huffed and looked away. I gave Theo a nod and he left us alone again. “Theo has proven he is family, why won't you accept him?” I questioned her. Lady Asher was as traditional as one could get. She had not liked me playing with the son of the head maid when I was a boy. Where my parents had cared little for the company I kept, she ha
The Alpha's Slave A Queen At Expense
Adrianna's POV Life was such that everyone moved on eventually. When Agatha had been in a coma before her death, I had wanted her to do anything that would let us know that she was still with us. I would sit by her side for ours and hold her hand whispering into her ear for her to squeeze my hand even a little. She never did and eventually even the faint pulse that had given us all hope soon stopped. I had harbored a crush on Cyrus back then. He had been all I could think about and when I would see my friend walk into the room with the Alpha, it broke my heart. When Agatha had become deathly wounded and lay unconscious in the clinic I had prayed for her recovery even going as far as promising to stop liking Cyrus. I realized the minute she had been pronounced dead how futile my promise had been. Even during that time of mourning my feelings had never waivered. I had still wanted Cyrus and soon realized there was no need to fight my feelings. I felt no guilt for seducing Cyrus. E
The Alpha's Slave A Stab In The Back
Adrianna’s POV “Theo?” When I opened my eyes I saw Theo seated by my side. “You're awake. I will let the Alpha know,” he was about to stand up when I held his hand to stop him. “What happened and where am I?” I asked confused. The last thing I remember was me becoming unconscious at the market. What was he doing here now? How had he found me and what did he mean by the Alpha? “You were stabbed; I happened to be there just in time to…” “What were you doing there?” I quizzed. “It's… I'm just glad nothing happened to you. Do you know who hurt you?” he asked me. “What?” the question startled me a little bit. “Adrianna?” “No… no, I have no idea,” I returned shaking my head to emphasize my no. I had to be mute about this. Saying anything could put my sister in trouble. Then it occurred to me. I had been stabbed by someone that had been sent by my sister. Did that mean my sister had meant for me to be killed? *+*+*+*+*+ Audrey's POV “How did it go? Did she accept the offer?” I h
The Alpha's Slave What The South Wants
Theo's POV Things had been so busy that I had not had time to interrogate the guard I had captured at the Southern pack. It was obvious Adrianna had no plans of telling on her sister and we did need solid evidence to accuse Audrey. If we could do that, we could open an investigation into all of Audrey’s friends and then perhaps stop the war before it started. “I know someone who might be able to give us the testimony we need,” I said, turning my attention to Cyrus. “What's that supposed to mean?” Adrianna asked, startled. “You are going to remain here until I feel it fit for you to leave,” said Cyrus. “No, no. I must leave now. You cannot keep me here. I have done nothing wrong,” Adrianna replied, visibly agitated. “You have done nothing wrong but your life might be in grave danger. The Alpha has good reason to keep you here,” I told her. “No, no, I…” “Let us talk elsewhere Theo. You said you had to tell me something?” quipped Cyrus. “Of course,” I was staring at Adrianna hop
The Alpha's Slave Unveiled Jealousy
Agnes' POV “You've been lying to us this whole time, right?” said Audrey. She looked very angry and it made me wonder what her anger was about. “What are you exactly? huh? Tell me, what is your damn relationship with Cyrus? Why is he not going crazy looking for you?” she looked as though she was losing her mind. I had thought that she had resolved to torture me to death when she had discovered that Cyrus was not bothered by my disappearance. “I am a slave,” came my weak response. She stared at me intently and slapped me hard across the cheek. The slap would have been enough to dislocate a human but I was much more than that. “That did not hurt?” she quipped, startled that I had not even flinched at the impact of her slap. I was a strong werewolf. When I had lived as Agatha I had been stronger than most of Cyrus' top war officials. I had great strength and resilience; it was hard to defeat me or make me cower in pain. She punched me seeing that I only looked at her. She did not g
The Alpha's Slave A Deathly Welcome
Theophilus’ POVIt had been a long time since I had been home. I was so close to the border and already my mouth watered in anticipation of the food and local beer, the beer especially. I had traveled to several places while acquiring knowledge and none of them had beer as good as the one brewed in Ghysem.I missed my father, the practical Lord Salmon who had taught me to appreciate the moment. He had taught me to enjoy the simple things of life and I had lived my life abroad that way. I had never done anything to suggest that I came from money or that I was the son of a nobleman but I had remained as though I had very little and that way I had made good friends and valuable relationships.Although it felt good to return to the splendor of my birth.“Theophilus? You do not travel with company?” Theo's voice startled me.“Theo? My good man,” I said as we drew into a bear hug.“Welcome home, master Theophilus but I would have missed you. I had expected to see you with an entourage,” rem
