The Alpha's Third Mistress How Special Was She?
The words scraped raw against Sheera's throat, each syllable a fresh wound from the pain of revealing one of her most burdensome secrets. Now, she felt empty. Vulnerable. Weak.Keegan's grip loosened in her hair. The flames of anger in his eyes dwindled to embers, replaced by a mask of surprise.For what felt like an eternity, the only sounds were her whimpers and the ragged breaths she took between sobs. His gaze remained fixed on her, even as fresh tears coursed down her cheeks."What did you just say to me, Sheera?" His voice, now softer, sent a shiver down her spine."I'm sorry," she sniffled. "I know it is wrong, but I was defenseless against my heart, Alpha. I found myself wanting you, liking you, even when I know you can never be mine and I can never be yours. I am simply a hunter's daughter paying for her father's crime and would be dumped as soon as you've had your fi

Odessa was seething with rage.She stormed towards the Alpha's quarters but was halted by the Keepers guarding the entrance."The Alpha is not in his bedchamber, Mistress," one of them informed."But Sheera is there, is she not? I desire to see her," Odessa snapped, her hands clutching the overflowing fabric of her dress."I am afraid you can't. The Alpha has instructed us not to let anyone in. His prisoner is not to receive visitors."Odessa's cheeks flushed a serious red. By the sky, this had to be a joke!"Prisoners are kept in the dungeon, not in his quarters!" She couldn't stop herself from yelling our the words. "How could he... How could he punish her by letting her stay in his chambers!?"The Keepers remained silent, unmoved by her anger.Her chest heaved as she struggled to control her emotions. Her beast was almost coming to the surface. The contemptible swine couldn't even execute out a proper escape! And as if the Alpha going after himself wasn't enough, he decided to puni

Her throat went dry instantly. She opened her lips to speak but feared the only sound that would come out would be choked gasp. By Hestia, she could hardly breath! Her skin suddenly felt like it was scorching."You're supposed to remove every piece of ornament before a bath," Keegan added, his eyes scrutinizing the necklace as his finger idly rolled it between his fingers."I... uh..." She paused, coughing to clear the lump in her throat. "It's um... I have just become accustomed to wearing it always, Alpha. It was gifted to me by my grandmother before she passed away, and I keep it on to feel her presence with me."She feared Keegan could hear the frantic beeping of her heart. She had no control over the fear that gripped her. "Hm," he mumbled, still focused on the necklace. "It doesn't get damaged by water. And I worry it might weaken if I keep removing it and putting it back on. I wouldn't want to lose it, Alpha," she added quickly.Slowly, Keegan's finger drifted from the neckl

The courtroom erupted into chaos. Kalaril and the Keepers charged at the lady, but with a simple gesture, she sent a powerful wind that sent them crashing into walls and pillars. All the while, her gaze remained locked on Keegan, who stayed seated, watching her with an unnerving calm. There was confusion etched in her face. She'd been casting the spell long enough for it to take effect, yet nothing had happened to Keegan. He seemed untouched by her powers. Keegan didn't know what was happening, and neither did she. He rose to his feet and the lady lowered her hands. Panic flickered across her face. She looked around, searching for any weapon she could control to hurt him since she couldn't directly. Her eyes settled on a blade strapped to one of the Keepers. With a wave of her hand, she ripped it free and sent it flying toward Keegan - but it missed. Keegan stepped away from the table, his eyes burning with fury. The lady summoned another blade and directed it at him, but Kalaril

His question made Tabitha feel stupid. She felt a flush of heat rise to her cheeks, her gaze dropping to the cold stone floor beneath her feet.Kalaril took a step closer. "I am a man who can care for himself, Tabitha. I have no need for your concern."His words were harsh and biting. Tabitha's heart ached as he brushed pass her."Why do you hate me so much?" She whipped in his direction, her question bringing him to a stop."What did I ever do wrong, Kalaril?"She wasn't supposed to call him by his name, but in that moment, she wanted him to know she spoke to the man who had once been her closest friend, not the Beta who now treated her with such disdain."I... I understand that you've been raised to a high position and I am but a servant," she pressed on, her voice breaking slightly. "But is that reason enough to treat me

Keegan's brows were furrowed. "What are you speaking of? There, you must be mistaken. Because as you know, the witches are our enemies. I have never befriended one, nor will I ever.""I know, Alpha. I know," Mortha bobbed. "But that is the only sensible explanation. Even a witch cannot resist the power of another witch, unless she intentionally defends herself. Based on my knowledge, a situation as that which you experienced can only happen if you're being veiled by a higher witch. A very powerful one. It is very possible you will have no knowledge of it. But something like a contact with this witch, or something similar, can provide you some protection."Her words seemed to create more puzzles as she spoke. Did it mean a witch was intentionally protecting him? But why? Who could it possibly be?Or perhaps, Mortha was mistaken. ****†It was night when Ulric reached the designated spot outside of Howling Ridge. He dismounted his horse, his boots crunching on the fallen leaves, his ai

Sheera was deep asleep when she felt a pair of hands on her legs. It was her last night in the Alpha's room. Throughout the day, she had tried to force herself to feel happy about the prospect of regaining her freedom, of returning to her own room. Yet, no matter how hard she tried, a part of her was saddened by the thought being away from Keegan.Her sleepy eyes fluttered open as the hands moved, their touch dragging her from her dreams. She gasped when she discovered it was the Alpha.Her eyes widened in shock. Since the previous day, after the attack, he had barely paid her any mind. Now, there he was, in the dead of the night, undressing her.He was shirtless, the power rippling through his muscles stealing all the breath from Sheera's lungs.In that instant, she understood it didn't matter whether she wanted this or not, whether she was tired or asleep. Keegan owned her and wou

Sheera flinched at the sudden discomfort, feeling the strange liquid soaking through her skirts. Ayita gasped, her eyes, and quickly lowered her head. "Oh, my! Such clumsiness! Please, forgive me, Sheera. I did not mean to," she apologized "Oh, it's fine. Thank the moon it wasn't hot," Sheera chuckled. She patted her on the shoulder before continuing on her way. Ayita glared at her as she left. She hadn't reacted to the Moly. So... she wasn't a witch?She returned to Odessa to report her findings. "Are you certain she wasn't merely concealing it?" Odessa asked."No witch is strong enough to endure the pain of Moly, Mistress. The pain would have been strong enough to bring her to the ground."Odessa's mind churned with thoughts. So, she wasn't a witch. Why did she feel there was something else, tho? Hidden beneath the surface?****†****†Kalaril escorted Keegan to his chambers as they discussed the imminent arrival of the Alphas of the West which would be happening in two days.

The Alpha's Third Mistress Down The Familiar Path
It took several moments for Keegan to reign in the tempest within him. But he wasn't done with her. No, he was far from finished. He had a search to lead and also wanted to know what she was doing in Howling Ridge despite her banishment. When Sheera told him what she'd discovered about Thessaly, he snapped, being in denial. "So, you take away my will, then return six months later to accuse my pregnant Mistress of being a witch?" He had asked maliciously. "I wouldn't risk my life coming here if any of these were false.""No. Maybe your life was worth risking because you think I'd believe you and punish Thessaly.""Then find her, Alpha. Find her and see if I'm lying."After a moment of silence, Sheera had added. "I swear on the moon, I am telling the truth. Thessaly is not missing. She sent into hiding, waiting for the Eclipse Moon which is only three nights from now."It took some more argument before Keegan gave into Sheera's words. he confirmed they were going to find Thessaly an
The Alpha's Third Mistress What She Took From Him
Keegan was just about leading a group of Keepers and warrior Hounds out in search of Thessaly when he noticed the Keepers dragging someone in. There was a small crowd behind them, indicating whoever had been captured was someone very important... It didn't take him long to realize who. It wasn't one of those moments when it felt like time had stopped moving and no one else existed but the two of you. For Keegan, time seemed to be moving faster than normal—the scene unfolding too quickly in his eyes, moving in a blur with the wind. Before him was the face of the woman he's made up his mind not to see again. It was the face of the woman he 'hated'. The one he wished to punish, the one that had tormented him all these months. She had her eyes locked on him as she got closer, and in that moment, he felt a heat that ran all the way to his heart. His frozen heart. His face twisted in fury, his silver eyes turning as deadly as tempered steel.Everyone was taken aback by Sheera's appear
The Alpha's Third Mistress The Banished One
ONE MONTH LATER. A lot had changed with Howling Ridge. Something different had taken place. Something dark. People were hardly ever happy. The Fortress was even worse—filled with gloominess at all times. There was just something that didn't feel good about the place anymore. Odessa and her mother were still missing. Keegan had searched desperately for them, but it was fruitless. It was concluded that she was either dead or had fled. A part of Keegan considered the fleeing part. He'd been very hard on her—physically, sexually and emotionally. He wondered if that was the reason she decided to run for her life. But a part of him rebelled against the notion. Odessa was not a woman to shrink from a storm. She had stood firm where others would falter. The thought that she might have run seemed like a betrayal of her very essence. He'd grown harder, the thought of everything weighing down on him—all he's lost and endured for the past year. The Eclipse moon was now but four nights awa
The Alpha's Third Mistress The Mother And Daughter
It had been a week since Sheera, Morginna and Ravyn embarked on their journey. The journey had been smooth, but it wasn't on that seventh day that Sheera realized her mother still had her powers. They'd been riding in the woods when they encountered bandits. Like they'd done to Sheera, they tried taking their valuables from them. The bandits outnumbered them, so confronting them wasn't much of an option. And that was where Morginna proved herself. To Sheera and Ravyn's surprise, she used her powers on them, defeating them easily. Of course she was a witch. It was just the first time Sheera was seeing her use her powers. When they'd finished with the bandits, Morginna glared at Ravyn. "I hope you know how to keep a secret." At nightfall, they camped as usual. Sheera and Morginna sat in front of the burning fire while Ravyn busied himself behind, laying on his back while munching on some berries. The mother and child were silent for a while, their eyes simply staring at the fire
The Alpha's Third Mistress Zandov's Concerns
Thessaly shrugged, resting a hand on her belly. "After the hunt, she said she needed to go somewhere. She said she'd come to the Fortress later." Kalaril appeared surprised. "Did she mention where she was going?" "She wouldn't say. When I insisted, she snapped at me. I feel a little bad that she might have used me to get out of the Fortress without raising suspicions. You know, it was her idea that we didn't go with any of the Keepers or maids." A Keeper came forward, taking the deer from her horse. Thessaly took a deep breath. "I am exhausted, Beta. What I need right now is some soft hands on my back." Kalaril chuckled, nodding. "You go ahead, Thess." She bowed before walking away. .... By nightfall when Odessa was still not back, it became a cause for concern. Her mother wasn't questioned, but she claimed she didn't know anything on her whereabouts. Keegan ordered Keepers to go look for her. It was a thing to worry about as Odessa had never stayed out that late before. Thes
The Alpha's Third Mistress The Required Journey
"Kathryn, you must think carefully about this." Morginna urged, walking at a fast pace beside Sheera."There is nothing to think about. I must go back and warn them." Sheera's voice was resolute, not looking at her."But you told me you've been banished. They'll kill you if you set foot there!""I'll find a way."They were almost out to the part where people could see them when Morginna grabbed her hand, bringing her to a stop."Think about this. You do no longer have a wolf. Whatever Thessaly does will not affect you. You'll be fine, Kathryn.""So, what?" Sheera scoffed, pulling her arm free. Her face contorted in a mix of frustration and pain. "I have friends, people I care about! I can't just... I can't just leave them there to die!"She attempted to leave, but Morginna grabbed her hand again."Wh
The Alpha's Third Mistress Her Intentions
In all her life, Odessa had never heard anything more shocking—more unnervingly alarming.Releasing the arrows, Thessaly sent one sinking into Odessa's shoulder, and the other piercing her thigh. Odessa crumpled to the ground with a painful grunt, the rough forest floor biting into her knees."How does it feel, Mistress?" Thessaly's voice dripped with venom, the title 'Mistress' twisting cruelly off her tongue. "It feels like death, doesn't it? This is the pain you wished upon a pregnant woman. Anyway," she strode forward, her movements casual, as though she strolled through a field of flowers rather than toward her dying foe. "I will not blame you. I was indeed, an obstacle in your way and I'd have done the same. I have done worse."Odessa shook her head. The pain was fierce but not as scorching as it should have been, and something in her guts told her it had to do with Thessaly. "This whole time," the words were strained. "It was you...""Yes, dearest." Thessaly got close enough t
The Alpha's Third Mistress The Mistress' Plan
Odessa and Thessaly rode side by side, their horses' hooves muffled on the mossy ground. Once they reached a small clearing, they dismounted, each taking their bow and arrows in hand."You know, as much as I enjoy this hunt, Odessa, I still find it strange that you wouldn't let the Keepers or even a maid come with us," Thessaly remarked, her eyes sharp and scanning the shadowed trees ahead with her arrow aimed.Odessa was only a few feet from her, her own gaze darting around the surroundings. "We are being watched all the time, Thessaly. Don't you miss this? Being able to roam freely without the fear of being watched and judged?"She heard a crackling twig and turned swiftly, only to find a lone squirrel scurrying into the underbrush. She exhaled, lowering her bow."Don't worry, we're strong. We can defend ourselves. And even if you are unable to because of your condition, I'll protect you." Odessa added with a smile.Thessaly laughed. She lowered her bow to touch her round belly. "Th
The Alpha's Third Mistress The Truth
Sheera and Morginna retreated to a quiet alcove beside the garden.Morginna had instructed the guards make sure no one disturbed them.She returned to Sheera with the cup of water she'd asked for, sitting next to her on the bench."Thank you," Sheera muttered, drinking from the cup, the cool water soothing her parched throat.They were calmer now, although it had taken time and tears to reach this peace.Sheera's burden was slowly being replaced by relief—relief that that she had found her mother.Elke was right. She felt lucky that she did come from her. The woman was strong, beautiful, smart, brave. It was rare to see such qualities in a woman.Sitting next to her, inhaling her edible scent... it was like a dream come true."I still can't believe it's true," Morginna shook her head, staring into the distance. "I had to leave Howling Ridge after giving you to that woman. The Alpha of Howling Ridge then—Alpha Samael—was a very ruthless one and was desperately looking for me because he
