“Are you spying on the alpha?”

My heart stopped for a few seconds after Leilani said that. I held my chest and looked up at her. “You nearly gave me a heart attack,” I accused, leaning back against the wall.

“What are you doing, spying on the alpha and his friend like that?”

I had been so engrossed, listening in on Jackson’s conversation with the visitor that I'd not noticed Leilani approach. I was leaning against the wall in the second floor, near the landing. I had wanted to leave but when I heard her talking about me, I stopped and started eavesdropping. To think that Jackson did not defend me more, and somehow got into an accidental kiss was heart-breaking. I wondered if he was really that mad because I rejected him.

“I was leaving,” I told Leilani, walking along the hallway towards the other wing of the mansion that had my bedroom.

“Really,” she said, following me. “Although alpha Jackson likes you, anything can happen. Even one annoying moment can make him get rid of you, and I

    Jackson and I had a perfect night. A few minutes after I had gone to his room, we heard a knock and ignored it. I heard the door open and close almost immediately. I smiled as I kissed the man I was riding, hoping that whoever had been at the door was Courtney. She probably wanted to seduce Jackson but I had no intentions of letting her take what was mine. The next morning, we decided to have breakfast outside in the yard. There was a small tent in the backyard with a table and three chairs. Kat and Francesca served food that morning. I felt a bit sceptic about the food but ended up eating it since Jackson and a few of his guards were there. I was quite sure that Kat and Francesca were not stupid enough to poison me in front of so many people. “I didn’t know life could be this peaceful,” Jackson said, before drinking some coffee. He placed the small cup on the table and stabbed a sausage with his fork. “Ever since I stopped going for more conquests, things have been so good. I don

    I didn’t say anything to her. I watched as Jackson told the girl he had missed her and was happy that she was now at the pack house. He turned around and glanced at me.“Miley, meet my girlfriend Kelsey. Kelsey, this is Miley.”“Hi Miley, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”The little girl smiled. “It’s nice to meet you, ma’am.” She turned to Jackson. “Your girlfriend is very beautiful.”I could feel the heat of Courtney’s stare. I wondered who the girl was, and why Courtney had decided to bring her to the pack house. I remembered her words and figured she was up to something. The little girl did not seem to be a bad child. She looked excited to be with her ‘uncle’. Did Jackson have a brother or sister I didn’t know about?“Miley is Courtney’s daughter,” Jackson informed me before turning back to listen to a story Miley had started telling him. Now it made more sense. Courtney wanted to use her sweet, adorable daughter against me. The girl was probably nice because she did not live with her

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   Evil plans

    That night, I slept fairly well. I assumed Jackson had not had the same fate as me because he looked haggard when he came down for breakfast. Courtney and Miley had beat us to the dinning room. I met Jackson at the foot of the stairs. I had been tying the laces of my new sneakers when I felt someone smack my arse. I stood up immediately and glared at the person, only to see it was Jackson. Straightening up, I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his lips.“You don’t look too well,” I said afterwards.“I could barely sleep,” he wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer until our bodies were touching. “How are you, baby?”“I’m alright. I missed you so much. Thought about you all night.”“Uncle Jackson!”My heart sunk when I heard that familiar voice. Her voice was good, but it had started to irritate me. I was beginning to think that girl was not as naïve as I thought. Maybe her mother had told her to do everything possible to come between us. Jackson let go off me and turned to th

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   Fund raising

    The fundraising event went really well. Like in every small town, those who leave and gain success and fame are always welcomed well. Thanks to her brains, fame and beauty, a lot of people were excited to meet Courtney and participate in her event. The function was a real success, it was so good that even I started to believe that Courtney really cared about those children. She spoke so passionately about them and the rights of disabled people. By the end of her speech, some of the people with disabilities were crying. Even I felt emotional. Maybe I had judged her too soon, because she threatened to take what was mine. Or it was because of my insecurities? She was a great woman, and I was just a slave in Midnight Pack. Miley monopolised Jackson’s attention and I got tired of trying to fight for it. Eventually, I wondered away on my own and mingled with some of the locals. I had a conversation with a grocer who claimed she’d gone to high school with Courtney and didn’t believe a wo

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   My sweetheart

    Jackson. I was not surprised when Kelsey gave an appropriate answer to the question Courtney had asked. Some of the men around me seemed surprised, but I couldn’t blame them since most of my previous women had not been the brightest bulbs in the shade. But then again, I had not addressed them as girlfriends. Ever since I had taken over the pack, Kelsey was the first woman I’d given that title. She deserved it. Unfortunately, she did not seem to see how great she was. She had an inferiority complex, and I had not noticed it clearly before. Now that I knew that she didn’t think much of herself, I was going to change that. She was a brilliant woman. Although she not been raised in the best circumstances, she read a lot and taught herself. A self-taught woman was better than those who had been spoon-fed knowledge, those who tried so hard to be smart. Knowing Courtney, I was sure she had hoped to embarrass Kelsey by asking that question. Instead, it ended up exposing just how brilliant a

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   The beach house

    After leaving the fundraising event, we went on a two hour drive. Jackson wouldn’t tell me where we were heading to so I decided to wait for the surprise. I hoped it was a good one, otherwise the evening wouldn’t end well. I was very happy that day, having triumphed over Courtney. An hour into the journey, I fell asleep on Jackson’s shoulder as he caressed my left upper arm. Soft music was playing in the car when I woke up. I realised we had stopped.“Are we there yet?” I asked, rubbing my eyes.Jackson kissed my forehead. “Yes, baby. Here we are. I hope you’ll like the place.”Opening the door, I stumbled out of the vehicle. The sight that greeted me was beyond marvellous. Beyond a row of long palm trees was a large body of azure waters. It was beautiful, and the sunset that could be seen from a far made it look like a picture from a travel magazine. I glanced at Jackson with a wide smile and ran towards the beautiful trees. Having never been to the beach before, I had never seen an

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   So much love

    We made love so many times after that. We did it in the bedroom, in the living room and even in the kitchen. Basically, the entire house was explored in a unique way. After that, we were so exhausted we ended up sleeping. We were awoken when the driver returned at night. Darkness had covered the world, but thankfully the exterior lights were always on. Jackson wrapped a kimono around himself and went to open the door as I ran upstairs. After cleaning up, I went back down and found that he had already set the table with the meals brought by the driver and some two guards who were going to sleep in the next building. Jackson and I sat down for supper which we enjoyed before taking a walk in the beach. It was cold that night but it still felt nice walking by the side of the water. I could have removed my shoes in order to feel the sand but Jackson advised against it because it was dark and there was a possibility of some unknown object piercing me. He promised to bring me back there soo

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   A perfect day

    When it was my turn to apply sunscreen to Jackson’s body, I gave him a handjob as well. After that, we both went and lay under the sun for about an hour, after which we jumped into the water and swam for a while. We returned to the house at around midday to have lunch which had been delivered by the driver. After lunch, we went to the bedroom and slept because we were exhausted. On waking up, we both knew it was time to return to the pack house.“This has been my best day since I came to this pack,” I commented, remembering all the risky things we had done that day. We had even made love in the lake, something I’d never thought I could do. I had never been the kind of woman that took risks, but I was loving the side of me that Jackson was revealing. Taking risks was dangerous, but it could also be fun. For the first time in my life, I felt I was really living. “I have really enjoyed myself.”“I thought your best day was when you met me,” Jackson commented as he buttoned up his shirt.

    “What are we going to do about her?” I asked Jackson thirty minutes after he kicked out Francesca. I shuddered when I remembered the madness in the woman’s eyes. It was clear that she would never accept that Jackson wasn’t hers. I used to think she was just obsessed but it turned out she was also delusional. Something wasn’t right in that crazy brain of hers. Jackson poured the water into the glass and gave it to me before putting the jug back in the fridge. We were standing by the kitchen counter.“I don’t know,” he said. “What I know is she’ll be leaving the pack house today. I’ve asked them to take her to a secure place as I plan on what to do. “I can’t have her here because she’s a danger to you. I’ve always known she didn’t like you but didn’t think she’d go to the extent of wanting to kill you. I cannot tolerate that.”I went and hugged him. “Thank you so much. Truthfully, I don’t think I can feel safe with her around.”“I know.”I heard those words in my mind. With narrowed ey

    I smiled when I felt the hand move from my wrist to my waist. His other hand joined the first one. A wave of delicious heat travelled from my waist to my core, and I felt my nicker getting wet. I moaned as I looked up. Jackson angled his head to the side and kissed me on the lips.“Hey,” I said when his lips met mine. I looked around and saw that people had moved further from us. He was hugging me from behind and I just wanted to collapse in his arms. My heart was beaming with joy as my wolf danced around in my head.“Let’s get out of here,” he said.“Sure.”Jackson took my hand and we walked out of the yard, several eyes staring at us. We entered through one of the side doors and went straight to the elevator. He didn’t wait for the door to close. Jackson pushed me against the wall and kissed me. The kiss was rough and fast, a testament to our starvation. As he kissed me, one of his hands went down and pulled my dress up as he touched my core, rubbing in rough circles. By the time we

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   Avoiding Jackson

    I spent the next two weeks avoiding Jackson. I had returned to my room in the servant’s quarters and asked Francesca to give me roles that didn’t involve serving the alpha directly and she obliged which made it easier to avoid running into Jackson. Jackson did not also bother to look for me so the distance between us grew each day. Thankfully, I never felt any mating related pain which made me happy. At least he was not sleeping with Mia or any other woman.Kat left the day after the celebration. I’d never seen her so happy. She promised to help me repair the relationship with my parents and she fulfilled it. Two weeks after Kat had left, my mother arrived at Midnight Pack and asked for me. We hugged for what seemed like hours by the swimming pool, crying and talking about how we missed each other. “I’ve tried to talk to your father,” she said. “He’s coming around but you’ll have to give him some time. Losing Edmund took a toll on him. Edmund had been prepared to be the heir. He may

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   The end

    The warriors surrounded Vlad while others went to lift their alpha and quickly carried him away. Vlad turned his attention to the guard holding the torch and made him fall to the ground. Suddenly, he was invisible which made it easy for him to escape the guards. He returned to where we were and told us to hold his hands. We did and started running towards the outer boundary. We hit it and stumbled back.“Shit!” Vlad said. “This seems to have been reinforced since Bryson took over. That bastard.”“They’re going to try to escape but won’t be getting anywhere. Michael, run to the pack house and get more torches. Suddenly, we heard two distinct howls and the guards all went down on one knee, their faces adopting sombre looks. My eyes widened.“Bryson is dead!”Vlad smiled. “Yes. I knew he would die. I added black magic to that silver bullet. It had to take him down.”Forgetting about us, the guards started running back towards the pack house.“We need to get Jackson!” Vlad said and let g

    “Let’s go into the woods,” Maran suggested, running from the yard towards the back yard.“Okay,” I said, following him at a high speed.“Get AJ right now!” Bryson yelled and guards started running around in different directions. Running while holding another person’s hand made things complicated but we managed to reach the wooded area quickly.We did not stop until we were over five hundred metres away from the pack house and deep in the woods.“I think we’ll find Vlad in the caves,” I told Maran. “Let’s go there.”Suddenly, a portal appeared in front of us and Vlad stepped out of it. “It’s really you!” Maran exclaimed. “I’ve read a lot about you. I couldn’t believe it when I heard you had come back to life.”“You’ll have enough time to worship me later,” Vlad was still as cocky as ever. “Do you know how to reverse the Xiang Xiang spell?”“Anna Jiang taught me,” Maran said. “But I’ve never done it practically. All I know is the theoretical part.”“That’ll have to do,” Vlad said. “Now

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   Set me free

    I let Bryson do whatever he wanted with me for two days. I stayed silent and pretended to be unmoved while planning my next move. Quietly, I studied Bryson and the new staff in the pack house. I had no idea where Francesca and Kat were but was glad I didn’t have to run into them. By the third day, I was ready to set Maran free. I chose to do it on that day because Bryson was around which meant that his guards wouldn’t be watching me like hawks.I failed to get my hands on a good weapon so I settled for the small dagger I found under Bryson’s bed. The only decent thing Bryson had done was not sleeping in Jackson’s bed. Of course he didn’t do it out of respect but because he found Jackson disgusting. As if! While Bryson dined and wined with his loud mouthed friends in the living room at 4pm, I snuck out of my room. The main hallway of the second floor was empty and so was that of the first floor. It was almost too easy. It made me wonder if I was being set up. What if Bryson had someho

    The person’s scent was familiar but I couldn’t place it. All of a sudden, he let go of me. I thought I was about to come face to face with Bryson or one of his guards. To my relief, it was Vlad.“How did you find me?” I asked, trying to study him in the dark cave. My super eyesight was enabled me to identify him but I couldn’t see him very well.“I’m one of the most powerful witches in the world,” he said. “I tracked you.”“What do you want from me?”“I want you to surrender to Bryson Miller.”I gasped. “What? Do you want to get me killed?”He shook his head. “No. Bryson won’t kill you. If he wanted to kill you, he’d have done it already. He wants to use you to make Jackson jealous and made. That’s all. “That man raped me,” I said. “I can’t go near him again.”“I’m sorry that happened to you, but do you have an idea how many women he’s raping now? The man even undergoes for minors. Do you understand now how important it is for him to be stopped?”“Yes, I do and I wish to stop him but

    Thankfully, the information had not yet reached the motel. Betsy the girl who ran it was shocked when I decided to check out at night. I refused to reply her questions and told her to keep the money I had already paid for that night. I didn’t find a taxi so I ran to the high way and began walking along it. About ten minutes later, a truck appeared. It was going the opposite direction so I crossed the road and stopped it. “Hey, where are you going?” a man looked out of the window.“Midnight Pack,” I said.It was the safest place for me at that time. I didn’t intend to give myself up for Bryson but to hide in the one place he wouldn’t think of looking. Bryson knew that I had run away. He also knew that the people of Midnight Pack would surrender me if they found me. Therefore he wouldn’t think I’d do to hide there. Running to other packs was more dangerous for me. When I arrived at my pack, I paid the kind truck driver and alighted near the forest. Stepping into it, I ran as fast as I

    For the first time in my life, I was truly alone. The whole world had turned against me and I couldn’t think of anyone who loved or wanted to be with me. My family and pack mates had watched in silence as I was banished from home once again. The first time I left, I had a plan but this time there was nothing in mind. I had no idea where to go. I walked towards our small town. I was about to reach when I met my cousins Hans and Jerry.“Look who we have here,” jerry sneered, standing in my way. I was in no mood to talk so I tried to move out of the way but he grabbed my wrist. “What are you doing here, you killer?”“I’m not a killer,” I defended myself.“You probably killed Edmund and lied about it,” Hans said.Hans and Edmund were 17 and 18 respectively. I wasn’t about to let them disrespect me. “Could you please leave me alone? I’ve been banished from the pack and vie got to get out of here.”“What do you have here?” Hans asked, ripping my bag from my hands.“Hey, give it back!”He ra
