The Alpha's Slave A Looming War
Jonathan was really getting on my nerves. He had refused to answer my question even though I had asked him several times now. Instead of responding to me, he itched his hair vigorously. “Your silence will be taken as an admission of guilt,” I told him but he remained quiet still.“Very well then,” I said and made to stand up to leave. But just as I stood up, he grabbed the edge of my clothes.“You must listen to me, the black veil is coming to get me too,” he cried out. If he was acting then he was really good at it, if not his terror looked real. I shook his hands off my clothes and walked out.I was not certain if I could trust his words but if something did happen to him while in my custody, I would not be able to live with myself. So I told Timothy to double the security around his cell. I reviewed the evidence that had been gathered so far and there was nothing about a black veil. What the hell was he talking about? I sat still in my office and allowed my mind to visualize

I agreed with Lord Drusus. Since the days of my father, the South pack had been a nuisance. It was something we had tolerated for years but I now had no wish to continue doing so. “We have no measures to protect ourselves as of now,” cried one of the Lords. “You insult the Alpha then and the military force behind him,” came Lord Drusus’ angered response.“I am surprised at the discussion we are having. I had not thought that we had any option besides going to war. We were stolen from and we are going out to plunder.”Audrey’s POV“It is quite remarkable that you thought to do that,” cried Larog with a wide smile as he eyed our new stolen treasure. “Not so remarkable really, It only makes sense that we divert Cyrus’ attention to King Ares. After all, the plan was to use the South pack to acquire Ghysem but I know Ares well, he is a coward who is scared of a confrontation with Cyrus,” I said before sipping my wine. “You are right of course. With Ares fighting Cyrus and the ministers

Adrianna's POV I was yet to decide if I liked Moana or not. She seemed pleasant but I knew there was something more to her calm exterior. Sure enough, she was head over heels for her husband even though she tried not to show it and I could tell that she was insecure in some way about me. Unfortunately, I had no intention of putting her out of her fears. I was loyal to my king but that said nothing about my morals. If I had my way with Theophilus, I would take it. It was no fault of mine really but some people were too handsome to be owned forever by one person; it was simply not fair. We had been in the mainland for about a week now and I had worked closely with Theophilus all this time. I had not made any effort to seduce Theophilus but whenever Moana was present with us I did not fail to see her watching me rather too closely. She could watch me all she wanted but when I was ready to have Theophilus, I would make him beg for me. At the moment I was taking my work here rather

Moana's POV I did not like Adrianna. I had never liked her. I had always thought she was a snob and I was right. However she was more than that; she wanted Theophilus, and she had made that very clear to me earlier. “You are more beautiful than the moon, do you know?” Theophilus said as he swooped down to kiss him but I turned my face away and he did not hide that I had hurt his feelings. “What is the matter?” he asked, perplexed. “You do not know? Or do you pretend not to know?” I asked, my voice betraying that I was angry at him. “My love if you do not tell me how shall I know? I can do many things but I cannot read minds,” he said to me. “You think I am stupid,” I accused him. I had not missed the look the two had exchanged earlier when I suggested that I should have the local women around for tea. “That is nonsense. I do not think you are stupid,” he said. “What did you mean then by, _Love, the local women have to take care of their family all day. They do not have time

“How did you know that? Was your spirit watching me this whole time?” he quizzed. “I told you that I would always be with you, did I not?” I asked him. “Well, my lady, I am not a perfect man and I am deeply sorry for all my faults,” he said with a deep bow which melted away my anger. The next day I went to see a dear friend of mine. “Your Highness!” Eunice could not contain her shock as she saw me sitting in her room. “I have missed you very much Eunice, how have you been these days?” I asked her with a smile. “Okay? but I am still reeling from the shock, ooh, I do not know if it is right for you to sit in my lowly room. I shall come to you if you need me, your Highness,” she said and my smile deepened. “You forget that we once shared this room and you can call me Agnes when we are alone. After all, we are friends,” I said. “Friends? Not so, your Highness. I cannot conceive the idea of being friends with your royal self,” she said. “Dearest Eunice, you say the funniest things

“Your Majesty,” Altid entered and bowed to me. I was a little surprised to see him here especially as the council was busy with so many cases at once. “Lady Asher,” he greeted her and I saw her face pale at the sound of his voice. “I was told I would find you here,” said Altid. “Why are you looking for me?” she asked as though nonchalant. “I need you at the council to answer a few questions,” Altid ignored the unpleasant tone of Lady Asher. “A few questions, you say? If that is the case you can as well question me here,” Lady Asher said. “I am afraid I shall have to question you at the council,” Altid's tone remained pleasant but firm. “At the council? Why? Is this an arrest?” “Not at all; just a few questions.” “If it is…” “I shall accompany you to the council,” I had been quiet all this while. “Then permit me to run a personal errand before…” “You will be back in no time,” Altid said. She looked as though she wanted to protest but she stopped herself. Ältid’s POV“My m

I had other errands to run here as well. The kings had burdened me with the task of putting things in place for choosing a representative amongst the people in the town that would be chosen by the town. It was not my job exactly; it was Curtis' but I was to supervise the process. I could not do so directly because I did not want my identity to be revealed so I remained behind the scenes on this one. But that was what had informed my disguise as an innkeeper. In all fairness to Moana, it was just another way of saying that I served men their drinks. On this particular evening as I was serving drinks I was glad when the conversation spun around to choosing a representative from among the common people. I had tried unsuccessfully once to broach the subject but the men had told me such conversation was for _men_ and I should not bother myself with such things. I had been furious and wanted to demand what that was meant to mean but my goal here was to remain as unnoticed as possible so

Alpha Ares' POV “We propose war, an all-out war. This is the greatest insult we have ever received as a pack,” one of the noble ministers said. He was a short sticky man who was quick to anger.I was furious but not at what Cyrus did to my pack but rather at what the pair of riffraffs I had allowed into my pack must have done to warrant Cyrus to be provoked to the extent of doing what he had. Cyrus was not one to just act without any justifiable reason; I had to give him credit for that part of his behavior. I did not know yet what they had done but whatever it was, it had not been a part of the plan. My suspicions were about Audrey due to the last conversations that we had. Now I was on the spot. If I did not declare war against Ghysem, my ministers would revolt and their combined effort would see me get thrown out of my throne but if I did act and brought war to the doorstep of Ghysem, how was I supposed to win such a war? One thing I knew I needed however was time. I needed tim

She was gently rubbing her belly, feeling the little kicks and movements from inside. They were both so excited to meet their twins soon.Cyrus walked in and immediately noticed Agnes.

The Alpha's Slave The Wedding
The day of the wedding dawned with a golden glow, as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a warm, ethereal light over the palace grounds. The garden, which had been the site of Cyrus’s heartfelt proposal, had been transformed into an even more magical place. An archway covered in climbing roses marked the entrance, their petals a delicate blend of white and blush pink.Rows of chairs draped in ivory fabric lined the pathway leading to the grand gazebo, which was adorned with cascading flowers and soft, billowing curtains. The air was filled with the intoxicating scent of jasmine and lavender, mingling with the sweet fragrance of roses. Lanterns hung from the trees, their light flickering gently in the morning breeze, adding a touch of enchantment to the setting.Inside the palace, Agnes stood before a full-length mirror, her heart fluttering with excitement and nerves. The seamstress had outdone herself with the gown, creating a masterpiece that made Agnes fe
The Alpha's Slave The Proposal
Cyrus has decided he was going to propose to Agnes and this time not as Agatha, but for who she really was; Agnes. Every detail had been meticulously planned. The garden, a secluded and serene spot within the palace grounds, had been transformed into a romantic haven. Lanterns hung from the trees, casting a soft, golden glow, and a pathway of rose petals led to a small gazebo draped in sheer, white curtains. The sound of a gentle stream nearby added to the enchanting atmosphere.Cyrus made his way to the garden, his heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Theo, walked beside him, offering silent support. They exchanged a brief nod before Theo slipped away, leaving Cyrus to await Agnes's arrival.Cyrus had informed Eunice, Adrianna, and a few other ladies of his decision. So the ladies had deceived Agnes there was going to be a tea in one of the palace gardens. Only for those with high class. Eunice had told Agnes that she was only heading the other slaves in prepari
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 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. King Ares paced outside the room, his heart pounding with a mixture of fear and anticipation. His footsteps echoed down the corridor as he awaited the arrival of his heir. The southern palace was bathed in moonlight, casting an ethereal glow over the proceedings.The night air vibrated with tension as the kingdom held its breath, awaiting the cry of the newborn prince. And then it came—the final cry, piercing the night. King Ares rushed inside, hi
The Alpha's Slave The First Kill
The days passed in a haze of stolen moments and whispered promises, each encounter between Ashlynn and Ares leaving her breathless and yearning for more. 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. Her heart pounded as she sought out Ares, her feet carrying her to his chambers with a sense of urgency.She found him poring over maps and documents, his brow furrowed in concentration. The scent of parchment and ink filled the air, transporting her to a world of ancient tales and forgotten lore. He looked up as she entered, a smile lighting up his face, illuminating the room."Ashlynn," he said, standing and crossing the room to embrace her. 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. Her laughter was music to his ears.Ashlynn was intrigued by the layers of Ares’ personality- his intelligence, his underlying kindness beneath his mantel of dominance, and the faint glimmer of vulnerabilit
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. When she was a teenager and the war had happened, she had lived in the North all her life, and her dreams of visiting the South were crushed.She did not have any children, so there was nothing to stop her. 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
