Miley Henderson was crazy. She was the craziest little girl I had ever met. But, I was not surprised, given who her mother was. Clearly, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Jackson had tilted his head, waiting for my answer after the girl said I stabbed her.

“I didn’t stab her,” I said. “That crazy girl stabbed herself.”

“What are you saying?”

“She stabbed her thigh with the knife,” I told him. “She’s crazy. Needs mental assessment or something.”

“You’re saying that this little girl stabbed herself. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?”

“And you don’t think me stabbing her sounds ridiculous? Do you really believe I’d do something like that to a little girl for any reason?”

“Who saw it happen?” Jackson asked, staring at the ladies that had surrounded the girl. They all shook their heads.

“We heard the screams and rushed out,” Melania said. “We found Miss Arlington holding the girl’s thigh. Both Miley and Miss Arlington’s hands were bloodied so we couldn’t tell how she got the w

    After seeing Jackson take Courtney’s side, I decided to leave him alone for the rest of the evening. I knew Courtney and Miley were going to milk the situation for what it was worth. If I tried anything, it would just make me look worse than I already did. I didn’t know whether Jackson really believed I would stab that little girl. If he did, it meant there was no future for our relationship. It seemed he was inclined to first believe everyone else before me. First, it was Angie and now Courtney. Jackson did not trust me and I was tired of it. I spoke to David from the security team, but he told me they had already checked the CCTV footage. Unfortunately, the outside cameras and some interior ones had malfunctioned that day so they didn’t get any footage of the events. I knew that ‘malfunction’ had been engineered by Courtney Henderson. I could barely sleep that night, and I spent a lot of time thinking. Eventually, I resolved to prove to Jackson that I was saying the truth for once

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   Sad

    I felt dejected as I walked back to the pack house. Standing in the front yard, I stared at the huge, white walled mansion. It looked like a place where dreams come true, where people live happily but it was the opposite for me. It seemed to bring me trouble every now and then. Every time I was happy, something came along and ruined it. I wondered if I was ever going to be truly happy in Midnight pack. Maybe life would have been easier if I had moved to my uncle’s pack like my mother had suggested.I sat on the grass under a small tree and continued to think. A few minutes later, I saw Leilani coming out of one of the French doors of the formal living room.“You should buy a cell phone,” she said, sitting beside me.“I’ve never had one,” I confessed. “My father never allowed me. Besides, I don’t have any money. I’m given everything I need here so never felt the need for hard cash.”Leilani sighed. “I think you need one. It’s really helpful in killing boredom. Books and TV are good, bu

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   The truth

    After going through the short video again, I returned to the dining room with Leilani’s phone. I knew that if this went south, both of us would be in trouble but Leilani had convinced me that she didn’t mind. She believed that the truth would win in the end. I tried to give her positivity a chance.Courtney was telling Jackson that she would be going to town after her meal to purchase some things she needed. Jackson put his hand in his pocket and retrieved a credit card which he proffered to her.“You can use that,” he said. She grabbed the card and smiled at me. I went to Jackson and placed the phone beside his plate. Pressing play, I stood back and waited, watching his face for a reaction. “What’s the meaning of this?”“Did you see her smiling at me?”“You still want to implicate that little girl after everything,” Jackson said. “I can tell you want me to chase her away from this house, but it’s you who’s leaving. I don’t have time for this anymore.” he pushed the phone away and I

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   Exhausted

    After leaving the security room, I went to my bedroom. An hour later, Jackson had not summoned me. I began to wonder if he had changed his mind, if he had decided to side with Courtney anyway. It made me feel sad but there was nothing I could do. When more hours passed, I felt even worse. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I decided to leave the room. I went to the servant’s quarters to find Leilani. Her room was empty. When I came out of it, I met Kat in the hallway. She had also moved there to be Francesca’s roommate.I was feeling so bad and didn’t want to say anything so I tried to sneak away. Surprisingly, Kat did not say a word. She just stood there and watched as I walked away. Going to the kitchen, I picked up some snacks and took them to my room where I stayed until the next morning. Pondering on what was going on in Jackson’s mind was nearly driving me crazy, but I managed to sleep. In the morning, I just lay there, not wanting to move out. I was weary.Suddenly, someone star

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   Furious

    Jackson.I could tell Kelsey was still furious at me. Having realised that pressuring her to forgive me wouldn’t help, I let her leave my room. What I’d done was utterly despicable. Sitting on the couch, I pondered on the unexpected situation. For years, I thought I knew Courtney. She had never been a saint, that much I was sure, but I had no idea how far she was willing to go in order to get what she wanted. Kicking her and her daughter out had not given me any pleasure at all. Finding out that one of the people you thought you could trust lied was terrible. I was disgusted on finding out that she had involved her daughter in the mess, and turned the sweet girl into a psycho capable of harming herself in order to harm others. When I saw the CCTV video of Courtney and Jean forcefully taking a recorder from Kelsey and smashing it, I knew she must have been up to something I wasn’t supposed to know. Courtney’s behaviour before we saw the footage had also raised my suspicions. I loved

  • The Alpha's Willing Slave   Regret

    Have you ever refused to listen to listen to someone’s explanation then regretted it afterwards? That was how I felt that day. Jackson had done something terrible to me, but I didn’t want to be away from him any longer than was necessary. Even I would be more inclined to believe the words of a child compared to an adult so I could understand how he had ended up in that position. I knew I’d forgive him in a heartbeat, which was why I’d run away to make him work for it. Eventually, I realised I was wasting both our time. I didn’t want to break up with the man so there was no need to prolong things. Unfortunately, when I finally gathered the guts to go and talk to him, he was gone.I returned to my room and asked Leilani to deliver my lunch there. After lunch, I took a long nap. The sound of knocking woke me up. Annoyed, I climbed out of bed and went to open the door. I was relieved to see Leilani. Had it been any other person, I may have shut the door on their face.“Here,” she said, p

    Jackson.Standing in front of the full length mirror of my hotel room, I straightened my tie. Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves, I inspected my dark blue tailored suit, noting that it was starting to feel a bit tighter. I needed to do something about that. As I adjusted my cufflinks, I remembered Kelsey’s words and the expression on her face as she’d said them. It was clear that I had hurt her greatly, and I hoped she would forgive me this one last time. After that, I didn’t intend to hurt her anymore.Leaving the mirror, I went towards the bed and picked up the small box which had a beautiful diamond studded ring. I opened the box and held it up. It was beautiful and had been recommended by the best jewellery sellers in New York. The size of the ring didn’t matter to me, and I was sure it wouldn’t matter much to Kelsey, but I needed the best for my woman. I knew it would make her smile.I planned to propose that night, but only after she forgave me. If she didn’t forgive me, I’d

    After finding out that Mitch was gone, I stood there for a while in shock. I paced about the lot, wondering what was going on. I suspected there had been an emergency because I couldn’t think of any other reason why he would leave without informing me. I sauntered back to the valet who had just helped a senior couple pack their Porsche. “Hey, I really need your help.”“What do you want?” he asked. “I can give you my phone to call someone.”I shook my head. After this, I needed to get some money and buy a cell phone. For some reason, I’d not yet been officially accepted into the pack so I wasn’t able to mind link with other members. A cell phone was really important. “I don’t have anyone’s number. I need some money for transportation.”“I’m not a charity organisation, ma’am.” He said. “Why would you leave your house without money?”“I thought Mitch would take me back but he disappeared without letting me know. I wouldn’t be asking if I could help it.”The man sighed. “Okay, I’ll help

    “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
