So I did my homework. His name is Vok Sinclair. He is the beta of the pack. Well, until recently, he was put in prison. That was all I got. That was literally all I got. I wondered why. I turned around. “Come on, Lake, nothing else?” She looked up from what she was writing. “ If you asking me why he's in here, I have no idea. And finding out would only put you in trouble.” I sighed and stared at the paper Lake had written his info for me. A smile stretched out. I took out a pen. My hands are over the paper. So I scribbled down more details. Sliver hair, brown eyes, hooded shaped eyes, strong physique, tall and handsome. I smiled as I looked at the paper. Oh those eyes of him would be my undoing. So how do I find out more about him? No way? All I was going to do was sit and wait. ******************************************************** I sat in my bed waiting, bored and tired of waiting for news on the beta when I heard the big hate open. A warden walked in. I di
“Sir!” I looked up from the book I was reading and a big smile formed on my face. “Sean?” I sprang up from bed and immediately went to the gate. He quickly opened it and I pulled him into a hug. “Man, it’s so nice to see you” “Yes sir” he smiled. I stared at him and pride filled me up. I thought I could never make anyone loyal to me the way I was loyal to Alpha Knox. I never for once thought that he would himself out to save me, if push came to shove. “What are you doing here? You are not stationed in the prison,” I said. Sean smiled. “I cane to deli— “Hey, Vok!” prisoners stood up and began to chant my name. They had seen what was going on. “Come, let’s talk outside,” he said,d, and I nodded. I walked in front and he followed behind. When we were out of the prison area, almost at the visitation area, he tapped me. “Sir, the Alpha wants to see you,,” he said. I glanced at the doorway and rubbed a hand over my neck. I couldn’t see the alpha last time because I
He asked me out! I couldn't believe it I was nervous as I got ready for my date with Vok. He had asked me after we both left the prison and I readily agreed. I think he knows I like him too. I spent hours picking out the perfect outfit, doing my hair and makeup, and rehearsing conversation topics in my head. I needed to be cool and fun in front of him. When he arrived to pick me up, I was pleasantly surprised to see that he had put in just as much effort as I had. He was dressed sharply and had even brought me a small bouquet of flowers. We went to a cozy Italian restaurant in the heart of the city, and as we sat across from each other, I couldn’t help but feel a little starstruck. I had always admired Vok from afar, and now here I was, sitting across from him, enjoying a meal together. “Do you love the meal?” Vok asked me. I looked up at Vok who was watching me intently. I took a bite of my food and savored the flavors in my mouth. “It’s delicious,” I said with a s
I felt someone kick my leg and I immediately looked down. It was that young guard. He leaned into my ear. “Sir, someone wants to see you,,” he said. I nodded and stood up but not without giving that girl from the other time a look. I was not going to ignore the fact I found her attractive but then there was something else. I just couldn’t put my hands on it. There was a pull. She was the only distraction I had after rejecting that offer from Alpha Amandla. I still feel lost not seeing him. I wonder how he was doing. My little boy. Lucas. It killed me being away from him not to talk of never seeing him again. Well, I had all the time in here to find that out. I was called into the chief executioner’s office like the last time. “Wow, it’s a crowd in here,” I smiled. The alpha, Sean, Amandla, and the chief executioner were in. “Sir” he bowed to me. I tilted my head to the side. What was this now? Alpha Knox smiled. “The chief executioner here did a very good job last time” th
I was no child. I needed no telling that people were talking about it. Everywhere I went, there were eyes sure to follow. It didn’t bother me at all. Like I would care what the prison wolves thought about me but I wasn’t just going to sit down and let my good name be tarnished. Hedge turned out to be more resourceful than I thought. After that night, he went on doing things that always made my jaw drop. I tried to get him to stop but he pressed on. Because of how loyal he was, his men also began to be loyal to me. They tried to get me comfortable in the prison. I was like a mini alpha in the prison. Hedge made it easier for me to go to certain places. He was once the king of the prison. It was like he passed his title to me. I was informed of everything. Even to the ones I didn’t want to hear. So when we got to the joint gender cafeteria, he quickly told me the reason people were staring at me. “ Boss everyone now knows you had passed up on the offer of being an alpha by mar
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 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 there 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
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 have to do this before I leave” “Huh?” “Come on, we have to leave before it is too late.” he pulled me along, and we briskly got 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
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 happens to sleep with them, and it could be better if they bear 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
“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
All through that night I didn’t sleep a wink. I kept dreaming about seeing Lilith and having a fun time with her. When I woke up the next morning, I didn’t need anyone to tell me that I had been given false hope. Because when I woke up, I found out the Infirmary was moving me to the palace. Back to the alpha’s room. “wait!” I screamed as they tried to lift me off the bed. The nurses stopped, looking at me. “ tell me again, who authorized this discharge? Is the doctor aware? Is the alpha aware?’ one of the nurses turned to me. She gave me this long stare and I regretted asking that last question. It was like she was asking me, why I wanted to play dumb. Didn’t I know who Knox was again? “Obviously, it’s the alpha," one of them said. “Lift her to the wheelchair, don’t let her keep us while she keeps asking us stupid questions,,” the nurse who had stared at me said. I narrowed my eyes at her. “Watch the way you talk to me,” I replied sharply. She turned, facing me. With
