There was a hole where Alpha Zarek's heart use to be.

As the Keepers dropped his son's body before him, it felt as tho, a part if him had been destroyed.

Wema broke into fresh tears, a hand clutching her aching chest.

Zarek stood motionless, his mind grappling with the incomprehensible tragedy. Words failed him as he gazed upon his fallen son.

"What happened?" His voice, a mere husk, cracked with pain.

"It was Keegan," she sobbed. "He tried to force himself on his companion. Although, he didn't, but when Keegan found out, he was enraged and...and killed him." She had to relive the agony as she narrated.

Zarek's heart tightened even more. He had no doubt that his son had been a stubborn one, but may the fates forbid that he deserved such an end.

His fisted his hands and let out a painful growl. His wolf simmered on the edge, wanting to break forth and wreck havoc.

"Keegan did this to me!?" His voice echoed with pain. "How could he? How dare he when he knew Gareth was all I had?"

    Keegan's hand found her breast, and he circled a nipple before giving it a harsh tug. She clamped down on her lower lip, biting back her moan.

    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

  • The Alpha's Third Mistress   The Man, Zandov

    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

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

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.

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    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

    The whispers from the people grew louder, all of them amazed at her audacity.Morginna rose her brows, tilting her head."Please," Sheera added. "It's very important." Her eyes glistened with unshed tears now, one that Morginna noticed."Quite the nerves," Morginna muttered.Seconds passed. Sheera held her breath, starting to think the woman wouldn't grant her request."Everyone out!" She commanded, her voice revealing a veiled anger.The people scurried out, whispering and casting curious glances over their shoulders as the grand hall emptied.****†****†****†HOWLING RIDGE****†****†****†"This is not a good time, Thessaly.

    "Where do you come from, Sheera?" She laid emphasis on the name, drawing it out as if to measure its worth.Sheera wondered if she could as well hear the racing of her heart."Thalentis," it took Sheera a heartbeat too long to respond.For an odd reason, she held the woman's gaze, not looking away even though it was like staring into the depths of the sea.Thalentis was one of the villages she'd come across. She'd spent several weeks there and had contemplated staying there due to the good acquaintances she made."Thalentis," The Governess repeated, her eyes lowering to other parts of her body. Slowly, she began pacing. "I have been there. The river was one of my favorite places to be. It's water was sparkling and...." she sighed. "There was always something so peaceful about it."Sheera cocked a brow. "Is that so, Governess? Because the Thalentis that I come from, the river is not so sparkling.
