"Merciful goddess! What is the matter with you, Ayita? Are you perhaps, being haunted?" She struggled to disperse the horrified look in her face.
Ayita fought to regain her composure. She lowered her head as she stood before her.
"F... Forgive me for startling you, Mistress Odessa. But you must come with me at once."
....
Odessa had been on edge since the day began. It was the day the assassin was supposed to carry out his task. Despite knowing his reputation for being efficient, she couldn't shake her anxiety.
What if something went wrong? She couldn't afford any mistakes. She needed Sheera out of the way so she could gain access to the Alpha again.
She had instructed her maid to keep a close eye on them

The Alpha's Third Mistress The Alpha's Quarters
Later in the evening, when she was certain the Alpha would be done from the courtroom, she headed to his chamber to see him. But the Keepers guarding his quarters wouldn't let her through as she wasn't permitted to request an audience with him unless she was summoned. However, Sheera hung around and continued pleading. The Keepers were on the verge of using force on her when Kalaril showed up."Is there a problem?" He questioned, passing an inquisitive stare at Sheera. "She is demanding to see the Alpha, but she wasn't summoned," one of the Keepers reported. "Please, I...I really have to see him. There is something of great urgency I must discuss with him," Sheera interjected, her voice tinged with desperation. Kalaril regarded her for a while, as if weighing his options."Please, Beta. It's very important," she added in a more pathetic tone. After a few tense seconds, Kalaril inclined his head. "Come with me."Sheera exhaled deeply, relieved, then followed him. They walked to Ke

She inhaled sharply, lowering her head, her poor heart racing faster than it was supposed to. "Respects to you, Beta."Silence was the response she got, heavy and oppressive. Suddenly, she wondered if she was going to get punished for lurking around the Alpha's quarters. Anyone guilty of such was usually called a spy. But despite how sore her relationship with Kalaril had been, he wouldn't suspect her, would he?She kept her gaze lowered for as long as he was silent. She could feel his eyes on her, and she'd be a liar if that didn't make her as uncomfortable as anyone could get. "Why are you here?" His voice, deep and authoritative, cut through the quiet. Tabitha wondered if his voice was that cold because he's had to use it as the Alpha's Beta for years. She lifted her gaze. "I..." she darted her eyes around. "Forgive me. I was just waiting for Sheera."Another silence followed, heavier than before. She dared a glance up and grew weak in the bones instantly as her eyes locked wit

Blood drained from Sheera's face, every ounce of pleasure and ease she felt left her completely. Zandov. The name sent a surge of bile rising in her throat. It was the witch hunter! What was he doing here!? Keegan tilted his head at the Keeper who quickly departed. It was all Sheera could do not to give out a weird reaction right there before the Alpha. She never thought anyone other than the Alpha could make her feel such paralyzing fear."Depart," Keegan said as he adjusted his clothing. Gulping hard, Sheera rose to her feet. Tears sting at the corners of her eyes as so many confusing thoughts swirled in her mind. No matter how much she tried to dismiss it, her actions the previous day seemed to be that of a witch. Although, it'd be the worst thing that'd ever happen to her if it turned out to be true, she couldn't deny that it could actually be true.The Alpha would kill her! Or maybe, Zandov would before him. Either ways, she was going to doomed!"I had a letter sent to your m

Tabitha was having a busy day as usual.She was hurrying out of the Pack kitchen to carry out an order when she ran into Elke."Come here, girl. I have been looking for you," Elke urged her over like a mother would a baby."Greetings, Elke."Elke ignored the greeting and reached out to touch her face, tilting her head to inspect the small cut near her cheekbone."What is...""There it is," Elke sighed.Dipping her hand into the leather pouch at her side, she pulled out a small vial wrapped in a broad green leaf. She unwrapped it and began applying the cool salve Tabitha's wound.Tabitha blinked in surprise, her confusion evident."You had a cut. Why didn't you come to me?" Elke asked as she massaged the spot."I..." Tabitha chuckled. "It doesn't hurt th

"I had nearly taken my own life," Dasha continued. "Then, I found your mother, in that same woods.""No..." Sheera repeated, her tears streaming unchecked down her cheeks. "Please, please, stop.""She had you in her arms, my child.""Oh, gods...""You were so small, and the most beautiful child I'd ever seen. Even then, you looked so pure like you didn't deserve to be touched by mere hands. Your mother, it appeared she had been running from some people. She told me you wouldn't survive being with her and pleaded with me to save you. I... I didn't want to, but she persuaded and told me to make sure you always had the necklace on."She told me the truth - told me you were a witch. I was terrified, of course, and wanted to reject you, but there was just something about you that I couldn't resist. And considering the fact that I'd just lost my baby... My mate would have had my head if he'd known of it. You... You'd filled up that space, Sheera. So perfectly. "I'll admit it - initially, I

Keegan was having his morning bath with Odessa behind him, massaging his shoulders.She brought up little talks to keep the moment alive between them. Then, she brought up the one thing she'd been dying to talk about."I heard that Zandov visited the Fortress yesterday. What did he want? Is there a new witch around?" She asked, going more delicate on him.Keegan was silent fora short while, his eyes slightly closed as he seemed to enjoy the water he was partly submerged into. Or her hands on him."It's nothing you should concern yourself with," he mumbled, his voice calm yet dismissive.While he didn't suspect Odessa, he knew the walls had ears and didn't want news of a hidden witch to circulate. Himself and Zandov had agreed to keep the matter discreet.Odessa was a little hurt, but she knew better than to insist.

Sheera was hopeless when Keegan summoned her later in the evening. She knew it was about time since he hadn't touched heart at all the previous day. As she walked to his room, a part rof her was excited to be with him, while the other was frightened. She was going to sleep with a man who loathed her kind - a man who had spent years despising and killing witches. It was better when she didn't know what she was. Because now, it made her feel foolish. Made her think she was taking a big risk by wanting to be with him.She ran into Odessa and her handmaiden when she reached the Alpha's quarters. Odessa slowed her steps as she looked at her with suspicious eyes. Elke's words came pouring into Sheera's mind at once. Why would Odessa be asking questions about her mother? And coincidentally, it had to be at a time like this!?Sheera thought about the assassin. Someone must have sent him. It couldn't have been Odessa. Or could it?She dipped her head when she got close enough, but as expect

Sheera whimpered. She knew whatever he had in mind couldn't be good.But she had no choice.She forced her gaze to meet his. They weren't so charming now; they were deadly."I want you to look me in the eye while I ruin you."Those were the last words she heard before he indeed, 'ruined' her.He thrusted in and out of her with such ferocity, she feared he'd break her in half.Her cries were loud enough to take down the room, but they did nothing to faze Keegan who continued slamming in and out of her.He wasn't being gentle. He intentionally wanted her to feel pain.Sheera couldn't keep up with his command. Her eyes closed as her head fell on his shoulder."Look at me!" He rumbled with anger.Sheera screamed as she felt his sharp claws dig into her back. By the moon, he was go

"Have you been relieved of your duties?" Those were the words she heard that jerked her around to see him striding towards them. Her eyes widened like saucers as she regarded him. Kalaril followed closely behind him. Sheera's heart resumed it's usual drama. Seeing him made her weak in the legs, in a way she couldn't explain.His long gold hair wasn't in braids today but fell freely on his shoulders. His silver eyes had her frozen in place. How could a man be so unnaturally handsome? Sheera would never stop to wonder. "Welcome, Alpha," she lowered her head, thankful her voice didn't crack under the weight of his presence.Keegan's eyes bore the cold, hard edge of steel. "I believe I asked a question," he said in a tone that was hard enough to cut through rock. It effortlessly caused Sheera to shiver. "N...Not exactly. I've been...""I asked her to join me," Ulric interrupted, stepping forward. "I plan to inform Livia about it later."Keegan's eyes, hard as ice, never left Sheer
The Alpha's Third Mistress His Jealousy
The room was thick with the sound of impassioned moans. Laboured breath mingling with the sound of flesh meeting fresh filled every corner of the room. When their bodies were well spent, Morshella climbed down from the man's body, laying next to him with her head on his chest. "I must confess, Wystan, you do not act your age at all," she was still breathing heavily, drawing an invisible line on his chest. He laughed with satisfaction. "Well, what can I say? Your body is very tempting, Morshella.""And it's going to be yours for a long time. As long as you please, actually."A moment passed. "Do not get me wrong, but I'm afraid you'll have to leave now. My mate only wanted to roam round the woods for a short time. I think she'll be back soon," he said, but Morshella made no move."You know, if only you'd taken my suggestion and agreed to go somewhere far with me, we'd have spent this night together, undisturbed. But you insisted we did it here," he added. Smiling, she lifted her h
The Alpha's Third Mistress What She Lost
The first light of dawn crept into the room, casting a gentle glow on Sheera's face. The warmth of the sun stirred her from sleep. Her forehead crinkled with perplexity. Something didn't feel right. She sat up, touching her face. The dream from the previous night surged back into her mind with startling clarity.Keegan had been with her. His touch lingered on her skin like a shadow, his kiss as vivid as the breath she now drew.Gods, it felt so real...She left the bed and crossed the room, her thoughts a tangled mess of confusion. She sought out Elke who she found in the second room, busy at work with a mortar and pestle, grinding herbs into a paste."Oh. You're awake. How're you feeling, girl?" Elke swept her eyes over her. "I feel better," Sheera replied, though her back still hurt a lot, it wasn't as severe as before.Sheera knew what she was about to ask was silly, but she didn't have a choice. "Um... Did someone visit me at any point, Elke?" Elke paused, her hand stilling ov
The Alpha's Third Mistress The Dream That Was Real
"Release her," his voice was low and taut as he gave the command. "Take her to Elke." He turned to Odessa, his gaze as cold and sharp as ice. "With me." Odessa swallowed hard, the fear of what awaited her eclipsing her rage at seeing Sheera set free. She hesitated but then hurried after him, her cheeks burning with shame under the watchful eyes of the gathered crowd. Once inside his room, Keegan moved with binding speed. He seized her throat, and with a force that knocked the breath out of her, he slammed her against the wall. The impact rattled through her bones, and a strangled gasp died in her throat, her eyes widening in shock and pain. His grip tightened, iron-hard fingers digging into her delicate skin. She struggled to breathe. Her lips parted, wanting to plead for his mercy, but no words escaped—only the faintest, pitiful wheeze. "How dare you?" He gritted through clenched teeth, his face inches from hers. "How dare you do that to her?" Odessa wa
The Alpha's Third Mistress Not By His Own Hand
Her vision blurred with red, and she felt herself teetering on the edge of something dark and dangerous. She wasn't sure what she might do next if not for the sudden interruption. "Greetings, Mistress Odessa," the maid bowed in respect as the imposing figure of Odessa stormed in, flanked by several stern-faced Keepers.Only then did Sheera snap out of her illusion. She sucked in a painful breath as if emerging from deep waters. Good Hades! What was wrong with her!? What had she almost done!?She was breathing heavily, fear prickling her skin. Something wasn't right. The last time she'd felt that way was when that Keeper had tried to force himself on her months ago, in his room. Back then, she concluded she'd been triggered, but now, she didn't even know what to think anymore. She was so lost in her frantic thoughts that she didn't notice Odessa striding towards her, fury blazing in her eyes. She only snapped back to awareness when a sharp slap struck her cheek, sending her reeling
The Alpha's Third Mistress As It Was In The Nightmare
Otis led Zarek through the winding hall, the scent of damp stone and the faint aroma of meat wafting from the chamber ahead. As they approached, the murmur of low voices ceased. Otis pushed open the door, revealing a room and a table untouched food and goblets of wine. Albany Sebastian and Cyrus Rose on their feet as the two Alphas entered. When news of what had transpired during the Peace Treaty reached Zarek's ears, he sent a letter to Sebastian, seeking a team up. He couldn't see a more befitting partner than a man who was as hurt as he was. Their pleasantries were brief, their formalities clipped and hollow, before they shifted the conversation to what truly mattered. "I should have listened to Laycoan when he warned me not to go for the Peace Treaty," Sebastian began, his jaw tight with the bitterness of hindsight. "Now, he mocks me for my blindness, and I think I deserve it. Keegan took something very dear to me - my most precious possession. He never intended to make peac
The Alpha's Third Mistress We Are Alike
Sheera was equally surprised when the Alpha took her to his chambers. She'd expected somewhere far worse, somewhere terrifying. As soon as she stepped into the room, her muscles twitched involuntarily. This room... Being away from it for so long made her realize it was her favourite place. It felt as if her lungs forgot to breath as her eyes darted around on their own. Everything was just like she remembered. The air was thick with his rugged, earthy scent, the very scent she's missed.She was lost, staring at the room and wasn't prepared for being hurled against the wall with such force that her head spun. Her eyes squeezed shut from the impact, and pain shot through her bones. When she opened them again, Keegan stood before her, towering over her like a dark tempest ready to consume her whole. His hand was clamped around her throat - unyielding and merciless.She closed her eyes again, the grunts of pain and protest stifled in her throat. She rekt the walls of her lungs constrict,
The Alpha's Third Mistress To His Chambers
Keegan went towards her, his steps heavy. His aura was oppressive. "What were you looking at?" Sheera kept her head bowed, praying to the moon she wasn't the one he was referring to. But who was she deceiving?He stepped into her space and grabbed her jaw, forcing her to meet his gaze?"I asked you a question," he hissed through gritted teeth. "Have you no idea you're not supposed to look me in the eyes?"The raw fear in Sheera was palpable. She wondered if he could feel her trembling as he held her jaw, if he could hear how hard she swallowed. She tried to speak, but the words died in her throat."I'm... I'm sorry..." She finally managed to stammer. She didn't know what else to say. She was terrified. For a while, Keegan glared at her. His face was twisted maliciously, his nails biting into her skin. He thought of so many words he could hurt her. So many ways he could make her weep. She had no right to be in his head. With a rough shove, he released her, sending her stumbling ba
The Alpha's Third Mistress His Gaze Lingered
It was late at night when Malkar knocked on Thessaly's door. The Mistress opened up and was taken aback to see the Prince standing before her. She was dressed in her night robe, a sheer, transparent garment that left little to the imagination."Prince Malkar?"He chuckled lightly. "Come on, let me in."He attempted to step inside, but Thessaly stood firm, barring his path."I'm sorry, but it's late. Do you need something?"Malkar looked around, uncomfortably. "Come on, Thess, someone might see us. Let me in."Worried that indeed, someone might see them and misconstrue the situation, she allowed him into the room. However, she stopped him at the door, refusing to let him venture further inside."What is it?" She demanded, her voice husky.Malkar drew a long breath, taking in ev
