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
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 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. Now get me my other gowns, these o
“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. She took her phone and began to make a call. While I searched for her wedding shoes, I thought about her life. Rachel Camden. Sister to the beast. He must have ruled their lives like he ruled the pack
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
A feeling of unease washed over me as I watched the people converse with each other. Why was I here again? It was Madam Lafayette. She had insisted I visit the human side and celebrate with my brother on his marriage. No he wasn't getting married to a human. Those weaklings made my blood boil. I just don't get why they call themselves the most intelligent beings. Vincent, my brother was getting married to a fellow werewolf he had met here. He said he didn't want to come back home or anything. Someone tapped me and I turned. “Hey brother” Vincent smiled. “Hey baby bro” I smiled back. “You made it” he said. I opened my arms and pulled him in for a hug. “Yes I did” a memory comes to mind. Of one Madam Lafayette was goaring at me when I said I wasn't gonna come. I released him and looked into his eyes. Vincent hasn't changed a bit. Not physically though. Vincent, the youngest of my siblings was the kindest amongst us. He had what wolf's call a weak heart. Thry would call
I paced my room. “Your Highness, Amy is here” “Let her in !” The door to my chambers was slightly open. I could see the figure there. I could smell the fear on her body. “Come on” She flinched and nodded quickly. “Where is she?” My voice was quiet, dangerously quiet. The kind of quiet that came before a storm. Before I rained terror. I was even surprised at myself. Normally I would have snapped two necks by now. I stood in the center of my room, my chest heaving, eyes glowing an eerie gold. The air crackled with the tension of what my next action would be. Kill her? Amy, the maid, stood frozen as she stood there. Her hands clutched the corner of her apron like a lifeline. “My…. My… I mean. Your Highness…I—” I didn't need to repeat myself. In a flash, I was in front of her, fangs bared, eyes wild with something far more dangerous than rage, desperation. I need to find her before my mother gets hold of her. “Where. Is. My. Mate?” I growled. Amy trembled, her knees bu
“We are back, your Highness.” The new secretary turned to me and Vok with a bright smile. I dropped my phone. “I guess it's goodbye to seeing all those humans and their fat faces,” I replied. Vok and the secretary chuckled. I sighed and opened the door. I stretched my legs and walked to the other side. I smiled, staring at the environment. The green vegetation and all. Not those colored plastics Humans make in the lab. It is indeed good to be home. “Your Highness, the alpha of the blue moon pack sends his regards,” the secretary announced suddenly. I frowned. “Sorry Your Highness, Sir,, “ he said looking at me and Vok before he finally disappeared “Vok are you sure he's a werewolf?” Vok smiled. “ yes your highness” I sighed. It's been a while, really. I began to think about my life for the past one month. 2 weeks earlier, when I saw that the job here on the human side was way too big to be done within a week, I became worried. How would the pack go on? Vok began to m
When I looked up, I could see the gamma’s eyes bilge out. He stiffened on seeing me. I bent my head in shame. He must have been surprised seeing me here, like this. In this uniform, when I should have been dressed like her because, in the real sense, I was the present Luna, though I hadn’t laid claim to that title or agreed to be the alpha’s mate willingly. He coughed and looked away. I could see his struggle. Trying to rescue me without revealing my true identity. He must have known that the alpha didn’t want his mother to see me. But what sort of person works for the person who could kill her in the blink of an eye? I guess I was stubborn like the alpha said. “It’s nice to see you out here” Queen Ashira smiled. “The feeling is mutual, your highness,,” Sean said with a forced smile. “This maid tried to poison me, so I was going to punish her,” she said, looking over her shoulder and glaring at me. “That is such a huge allegation. Did you see her yourself?” “Yes.” The
I have to admit, life as a maid was horrible. With each passing day, I was beginning to regret my actions. Maybe I might have judged Alpha Knox too harshly. No matter what I did to him, he would never be cruel to me, the way the chief maid and cook were to the maids. They don’t want to see you happy or resting. If they get you in any of the stated two, they always find a way to milk you of the joy in your heart. I went from cleaning to washing to cooking. By the end of the day, I would be too exhausted to think of anything. And the next day was the same, and again and again. This was my life. I hated it with all my heart. And that thing they said, the two palaces would not share jobs were utter bullshit. Time and time again, I had been sent to clean cars and stables belonging to, Alpha Knox. Luckily for me, no one recognized me. I tried to think of possible ways to leave but the more I thought, the more absurd my ideas were becoming. One day while I was cleaning the stables
" What are going to do now?" Anna held my hand as we walked from work, back to the house. I shrugged. "Don't worry, dear Anna, I'll find a way," I said with a small smile. Anna smiled sadly at me too. She was the first person I met at work. While others were snobby and Rude, she was like a breath of fresh air. Alex had asked me to sleep with him if I wanted to keep my job. I couldn't do that. At least not now, that I didn't know when the alpha would be back. He would go bunkers once he found out I had actually mated with someone else. He might even kill. That was exactly not what I wanted. Anna bid me goodbye at my hostel apartment and left. That night I did a lot of thinking. If I didn't work it would mean no food and no money for rent. These two things kept me on my toes when I escaped. I did not want to live on the streets and beg for food like I did when I first escaped. The next day I decided to go look for a job. I walked all through the day but no one had vacancy. I a
2 weeks later If I had known that walking in the outside world was this brutal, maybe I might not have run away. Firstly, I hid around wearing shawls and all, but even when I found out the alpha was not back, I decided to relax. 2 days later, after sleeping in a shed, a shop owner recommended a job at a cleaning company. And I got it. But then there was a problem. 2 weeks in, the young boss, Alex wanted me to date him. Of course, I said no, but he had a coconut head. He kept chasing me. Staring at me all the time and bringing people's attention to me. I had no option but to try to avoid him. I thought Knox was cocky until I met Alex. One day a general meeting for all staff was going on. While the others listened, I was running around, craning my neck and praying I didn’t get caught. When Alex was called out to speak, I began to sweat profusely. My heart pounded furiously. I was scared that everyone in the room could hear how loud it was. I took in mouthfuls of air as
I jerked awake with such a force. I was panting like I had climbed a wheel. My eyes were wide as I tried to understand what was happening. Where am I? The last thing I remembered was almost drowning. The water was in my throat, eyes, and belly. I had drunk enough and I was full. I was splashing water everywhere, and I screamed for help, but while I struggled, no one came to my rescue. It was while I was screaming that I woke up. I bent my head like a dying flower and wept. Wept so hard. What have I done to deserve this sort of life? Who did I offend? Who were my parents? Maybe if my mum had aborted me, I wouldn’t have to go through all this? It was while I was crying that I remembered what had happened earlier. I was sleeping and heard that noise. I looked down to see myself bound by hands and feet like an animal. Knox! Yes. It must be him. I raised my head, whipping my head around, and then I stopped and squinted. There was a figure at the curtain. I didn’t know what it was.
I ran to and fro, from the corridor to outside where I slept. My bags and clothes were outside. I had to get them to a dry place. But the more I tried to shove the boxes out of the rain, the heavier the rain fell. At some point, droplets of rain felt like huge boulders that hit my back. I felt the pain of each drop, and it hit my back. Leg, head, face. Thunder clapped, and the lightning illuminated the place. I flinched and left every bag I was carrying and ran to the corridor. To the little shelter it could provide. I sat on the ground, and my teeth chattered. I grabbed a cloth and draped it around me. It was when I saw the material that tears began to pour from my eyes. It was a shawl given to me by Lilith in prison If only she was here. ******************************************** “Your Highness!” Someone tapped me, and I woke up. “Yes,” my eyes were wide open as I tried to take in all that was going on around me. “Anna?” she was a close friend of Amelia “Yes” her face had
I spoke at length with Lilith. She told me lots of beautiful things that happened in the prison. Also, she talked about the bad ones. We cried about it. When we stopped crying, Lilith stared at me. "What?" I asked. She smiled. " I know what you are doing?" "And what is that?" I asked smiling. "You are trying not to talk about your ordeal" and then the smile was wiped off my face. I looked at my hands. Lilith tilted my face towards her. "I have been worried about you," she said." But if you are okay not telling me about what you went through, I am okay.,"She smiled. I took a deep breath. Oh, Lilith. I nodded. " I will talk. I need to gather more strength" and she nodded. I went quiet as I tried to collect my thoughts. My eyes watered. "I miss the times we spent together...I mean Amelia" Lilith's eyes went wide. " I mean the good times. She was the only person I Interacted with for months" Lilith stared at me longer before she nodded. "Do you understand?" She nod
