I walked the length of the garden inched over my thoughts. The wind blue with mild gentleness thereby making the leaves move around in circles. It was a windy, cold , quiet morning but there was nothing quiet about it. My mind was in turmoil. Countless messengers and witches I have sent to my son either came back in corpses or were buried alive. With the emergence of his mate, I thought I had hit the jackpot.

I swallowed my pride and sought the help of an old friend who always mocked me. Priscilla was an old witch of the high order. They were strong and invisible. Unlike the new witches; Vain, flashy and loyal. Loyal to my son.

To get a locating spell for my son and his mate, I had to starve for days. It wasn't funny because every day she appeared with a pack of blood. It took everything in me not to reap her apart and feed. Priscilla used the remaining Bond I had with my son to locate him.

“Found him” she smiled as she moved the stone around making some incantation.

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Away from home

    “Don’t touch her until you are sure she left the palace” Madam Lafayette's words rang a bell in my head as I sat in my office. How dare she leave? But then watching her kneel in my room made me sort of sad. I wanted to tell her stand but I changed my mind. What was this slave doing to me? Making me all soft. Even when I recalled the night we were intimate, I always caught myself smiling. I didn’t want to sleep with her yet but witches said it was important to merge us. With a drop my blood they were able to track who was trying to get Nina. They told me they had killed. It was an old witch of a high order. When I asked who had sent her, they said they were working on it. I gave the guards warning not to let Nina leave the palace or else heads would roll. If not for this business meeting, I would have stayed back. “Vok!” I growled. “Your highness” he came running into my office. “Any news on the Alpha Damian’s deal” He nodded. “your highness, he changed his mind last

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Some sanity

    I began to drive. I needed to go to a place where I would calm down and laugh or something that does not have to do with work or Stephen. Then I picked up my phone again and dad trends number but it wasn’t connecting. I didn’t know why so I called Kyle instead. He picked almost immediately. Kyle was the human turned vampire friend I had. He lived in the pack as a werewolf but no one knew he was a vampire. When we were younger we would sneak off and head to hospitals, to feed. More like steal though. “Hey bro” he said. “Hey K, where are you?” I asked as I waited for some school children to pass. “I’m at work, I’m about leaving” he said. I could play some rustling of papers. Kyle has always been a workaholic so I wasn’t surprised that he was at work. “Okay, have you seen Trent?” I asked. A distant friend of ours “Yeah, he came by my office– I could hear the clicking of the door–oh here he is “Kyle said. “Can you pass the phone to that knuckle head” I said. I wait as the pho

    I awoke in the wee hours of the morning and decided to go wash some dishes. The chef had been nice to me since she reliazed my best friend was the alpha’s mate. I no longer stayed that long in my cell that much. That was how I was bale to see Nina. After I was back to my cell, I haven’t seen her since when I was out thanks to the chef. They said the alpha used her as a sex slave. I knew Nina. She could be as stuborn as a mule. Who knew how hard it was. even the sex. I winced thinking of what she might have been going through. I hoped all was well with her. Half way into the washing session, in heard voices downstairs. The door was yanked open and, some men pounced on me. “Let me go! Don’t touch me!” I kicked and pushed put it was useless. I was no match for their strength. They tied up my hands and legs. They also gagged me. I turned frantically from left to right hoping that the maids would help but I could also see fear in their eyes. What was happening? My heart beat loudly

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    In the Alpha's court

    I had beads of sweat running down my arms, my heart thundered as they shoved away to the alpha's court. What would happen next? I had no idea. I turned to the two guards holding me. Maybe a plea or two could help but the look on their faces suggested otherwise. They looked like stones. Poker faced. I assume their hearts would be as cold as their alpha. I guess this is it. They kept walking till they stopped in front of a wooden door. “Wait here” came the deep voice of the beta. He disappeared behind the door. We waited for a while. Until the doors suddenly sprang up. I was dragged into the court and dropped in the middle of the people. I put my head on the ground. Unable to look up. Ashamed to look up. I could tell I was surrounded by a lot of people because, as soon as I was brought in, the murmuring became louder. I could mentally see the maids and prison mates that envied me when I was chosen as the alpha's vessel. No one wanted to be in my shoes right now. To top it all

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Sweet punishment

    The first god news was that Amelia wasn’t killed. The second good news, was that the alpha sent me and Amelia to work for his bitchy sister. Rachel Camden. That was the best time of my life. Though we worked like slaves but it was better than staying in Alpha Knox’s room all day. While staying there, a werewolf named Maximus was going to visit. Rachel was over the moon for him. So she wanted to be perfect in his eyes. “He’s here!” a maid announced. And that was how they all giggled like 16 year olds. I wondered what the fuss was all about. Then I asked a girl and she explained everything to me. I wondered if Maximus was truly gorgeous as the others were saying or he was just hyped. My thought process was suddenly interrupted when I heard a screech of my name. “Nina!!!!!!” I rolled my eyes and came. “Where the hell have you been!?” “I’m so sorry Rachel, I was at the kitchen fi–“she cut me off with a wave of her hand. “I don’t want to hear it.

    “Nina!!!! Where the hell are you?!!!” Rachel shrieked. My ears bleed any time, Rachel calls my name just like this. My life is She does this every freaking time. And it doesn’t get any less annoying. The luna of this small pack knows that I am not hard of hearing but she insists on calling out to me in an ear-piercing scream. “Yes your highness, I'm already here.” I said immediately, before I am been thrown into the dungeon. I am not far from her, just almost at her door but she always want to be a drama queen. As I increased my pace on the stairs. I stop suddenly as I notice my legs are all wobbly, from all the running around. As I am about to fall, I use my free hand to hold unto the rails and in the process I mistakenly stub my little toe at the edge of the door. “Aarrgh!” The pain goes straight to my head and I squeeze my eyes shut as a tear threatened to fall off my eyes. Still jelly are my legs as I try to walk swiftly but fail. Since morning, I Haven’t had rest of any sort

    “What do you mean you don't know the alpha's mother?” Amelia asked. She took a spoonful of the porridge and moan. “ Gosh your highness you make good food?” I glared at her and she clasped a hand over her mouth. I had warned her to address me with my name. I didn't want the other maids to copy her. None of them dared laugh at me as the chosen one because Knox had warned them. “I'm sorry” she said and i nodded. I shrugged. “ I don't know her haven't seen her” I said. “What's her name again?” “Ashira” Amelia said. “Hmm Ashira….hmm” I shook my head. “Nope never heard of her “ Our conversation was cut short when Rachel called for me. “Nina have you seen my shoes!” She was panicking and her eyes were red. “No your highness” “Find it!” And then she went to.seat on her bed.

    My face went red with embarrassed and decided not to tell anyone against but Chief bodyguard Edward. Just as I looked ahead, I saw Declan from afar. I stood up to run but he caught me. “You can’t keep running from me” he smirked as he tightened his grip. Just as he was about to open his mouth, a punch came from no where and landed on his face. It was his father. I couldn’t be happier. I followed the chief guard into his office, afterwards. “So what were you about to tell me?” he asked. Just as I was about to open my eyes, I saw something and immediately a tear slipped down my cheek. “Its of no use. They are already here.” ********************************************************  Suddenly I could hear blasts. I ducked my head under the table as my heart began beating fast. “Do you hear that?” Chief guard Edward asked Me and I nodded, shaking my head more than the required. The sound was so loud, I bet even the deaf could hear. I had known they would attack us but what I

    I froze. Poison? How could that be? I mean I was okay but. I still collapsed or something. "I went out that day. Maybe the person gave me something to eat knowing—" I gasped. That meant someone else knew that the alpha was an active pool vampire. "I don't think so but that is a probability" Sean said. "I—" suddenly the door swung up and I didn't get to say what I wanted. "Sir, elder Abram is doing a routine check in the prison,we have to return Miss Nina back" the female warden said. My heart flew. Vok cursed. "That elder Abram is getting on my nerves" "Quick you have to leave" Sean said. He grabbed my hands and we began to run. A lot was happening so fast. I had no time to assimilate anything. And just like that I was now in my cell. I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye to Vok but something told me that we would be seeing again. With the way he was taking. I knew we had a lot to discuss. I thought the gamma that had helped me escape. I had never seen him. Where ha

    Looking at the gifts in my hands, I didn't k on what to think. I was confused. Why would Amelia just run of like that? Was anything chasing her? I shrugged and took the gifts back to my cell and then I began to unwrap. There was little food and done heart warming letters. I read them and tears wouldn't stop streaming down my eyes. I looked around me and the tears wouldn't stop rushing. I had no cell mate. No one was around me either. I was kept in a special cell. Like the ones for people who would be soon killed. Do you know what it feels like? Like any moment now you could be breathing your last. The guards can just come in and carry you off to the silver house or to be hung. What hurt me the most was not that I was dying but because I was dying for something I was about important. If I wanted to kill Knox, I could have tried long ago but I couldn't and didn't. A lot had changed since I stayed with him. He's changed and I have no reason to kill him. I have cried enough th

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Because I'm happy

    Today I was happy but angered. For the whole day, I was not going to do any chore but, I was going to somewhere I didn't want to be. Prison. The maids gathered round and donated things like food and snacks and blankets. I would have to present them to someone who I have grown an immense hatred for. Nia. It felt like I was living in her shadow All through the that week, the maids wouldn't stop yapping about how kind the alpha's mate was. It irked me bad. I always caught myself most eye rolling. Amidst all these faux love, there was someone who kept mf uncomfortable. Shelly. She became closer. Like we did almost everything together. At first I thought she was trying to come closer to me but the more she got closer, the more it became obvious she wanted something. Like know my secrets. So I stopped her. I went as far as pissing her off. She got angry and backed off. "Amelia please give this to her majesty" one of the maids said. "She's not yet Luna so you can't address her as

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Finally I get what I wanted

    "Amelia are you coming?" I looked up from my food and then shook my head. I had lost all my appetite as I kept waiting for some news. "You guys can head out" I said. Shelly nodded and left with the other maids. The cook walked past me." Hi Felicia" She smiled at me. She began giving me the extra respect when she realized I was the alpha's mate maid. She looked into my plate." You didn't eat anything" I nodded with a small smile. " I'm not feeling good" "Have you tried going to the infirmary" I shook my head. " Oh it's no big deal, it's going to pass" She stared at me longer. " Is it your period?" "Errrmm... Yes" She frowned. " Is that why you are being secretive?" And I chuckled.fonslly she left me when she didn't know what else to say. Thank goodness she left. The cook was a chatter box. As I stood up and dropped my plate, I worried about my plans. I haven't heard anything from Nina or the alpha. Did it work? That old healer promised it would. I sighed. Maybe it didn't.

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    I think she's innocent

    Alot had change since I let Knox feed from my neck willingly. He had grown sort of kind. Leaving fruits and vegetables beside the bed. Especially ones rich in iron. I tried to see how changed he was but on another thought, Knox might be caring to me because he wanted to. Maybe it was because he wanted to keep his food source flowing. You know, more iron more blood. Well that didn't matter. As long as he was changed, I'm cool. He asked that I stay on the bed too. And when I protested, he told me it was an order. These days he tells me where he was. What he went out to do. It was pretty awkward hearing things about the alpha. I was so used to his silence that I find it hard to come to terms with his words. I helped him quite a number of times. For past few days, he had been feeding consistently from my neck. And yesterday,he said I was free to go to the garden during the day. That was unlike him. Of course I wore a turtle necked gown to cover up my bite marks. And when it came t

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    What's wrong with him

    I slowly shut my eyes as I waited for him go sink his teeth down my neck. A minute turned to two and then five. All I could hear or feel was Knox's harsh breath on my neck. I blinked. What must be the problem? I tried to disengage from the hug but he held me still. "What is ha—" "Ssshhh" he whispered harshly. " I can feel it. Someone's here" "What?" And so went the silence. I tried to imagine Knox looking around. He was good at sniffing out things. He was smart. That's why I have given up on escaping him or even going against his will. All I wanted now was nothing but peace. For rest of the evening, I heard nothing but crickets. I sighed. I could feel my eyelids grow heavy. I blinked countlessly as I struggled to stay awake. I need to know how this ends. I need to know if this is just one of his plots or what. Slowly I struggled with sleep. Finally it won. It sold me away and went after much struggle. **************************************************************** I jerked

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Weird alpha

    I didn't need to be told, I knew the alpha had killed someone. Or many people. Judging from the weeping I heard down the maid quarters, I know doom has come. Most of the maids were daughters to elders. I still found it hard to believe they people will knowingly put your child through hardship just for an opportunity to the throne. Yes the maids had an opportunity. Their status can quickly change from maid to Luna in waiting if the alpha happen to sleep with them and it could be better if they bare him a child. An heir to the throne. Werewolves can be elitist. Half of the time they don't like to marry or mate with people of a lower class. They abuse the weak amongst themselves. That is why the alpha and Omega system is what is used in picking a mate. But then alpha Knox is not one to wander around with maids. If he was to do something outrageous like that, it would be two things. 1. He was drunk two 2. He has something up his sleeve. So I heard from Amelia. It was during the be

    Taking one last look at myself in the mirror, I smiled, liking what I saw in the mirror. Today was another manual labor and I couldn’t wait to see Lilith. Since the last time we saw each other, I hadn’t stopped thinking about our kiss. Oh the things I planned to do to her. I heard a knock on the gate and I instantly looked up, with a smile but that was quickly wiped off. “Sean?” he smiled. “What are you doing here?” he went to open the gate. “I thought you had left with Alpha Amandla” he shook his head. “Not yet” he smiled. “I had to do this before I leave” “Huh?” “Come on we have to leave before it was too late” he pulled me along and we briskly out of the prison amidst all the shouts from the people. When we walked past the chief executioner’s office, I knew it had nothing to do with the alpha. Then we passed the visitation, I knew he didn’t bring Lucas to come visit. I dragged him and he stopped. “Come in bro, we have passed the visitation area, where then

    The ugly rumor about Vok made me so angry that I wanted to fight the people talking. One day I was ranting to Lake under the tree, we usually take rest when her face went blank. “… I don’t get why people are so fixated on him, he has a kid and so what? If he leaves who would take care of that child” I scowled. I wrinkled my eyebrow. That was weird. Lake had not said a word to me. She kept staring at me with wide eyes. “What? Are you okay? Is anything wrong with your eyes?” She kept doing it and I almost got angry. “Tell me what it is then? Come on” Someone cleared his voice behind me. I turned around and froze. Then I turned around again to Lake. “Was that why?” She nodded. She swallowed. “Lili I think I need to leave” “Hey—“ “Ssshh” she smiled and ran away. I shut my eyes. Oh no. “Lilith” came that deep voice. “That’s me” Look at me” he said I slowly turned around and there I was met the beauty. Damn! He was way better up front. “How long have you been here?” H
