I stared at her and then at the gun. My mind was going through a lot. If only I could get close enough. I could do it. I could get the upper hand, so long my hands were free, there was a chance.

Arya dared not try to bind me. She knew I could smash her.

“Stop looking at me like that!” Arya barked. I stared at her deadpanned. I wasn't afraid. Not at all. What I felt was rage. Bone deep rage. The person facing me was small.

Arya was petite. It took nothing to crush her.

“Who put you up to this Arya?” I asked.

“Stop talking!”

I stayed still and walked to the bed. “Where are you going Knox? Stay at a spot! Or else I'll shoot you”

I smirked at her. “ You can call me by my name.”

“I'm no longer that 7 year that played hode and seek with your family”

My lips quirked up into a half smile. “ Oh really? So who are you now?”

Her hands moved fast to the trigger. “Shut up Knox, you aren't the one in charge here. You will not tell me what to do or say”

I nodded. Still smiling.

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    A night mare

    I had thought that Knox would be here any minute but the longer I waited, the more clear it was that Knox was not coming back for us. Maximus the 2nd in command of this unlawful seige had not stopped looking at me lustfully. Where ever I went, his eyes followed me. His superior Stephen hawking was all about Killin people who didn't adhere to his rooms. That night as I slept, I was scared. Scared that Amelia must have died before she sent in the news. Scared that no one was actually come to save us. I tossed and turned in bed until I finally slept and fell into a dream. ******************************************************** As l walked to his house, I had sweat dripping down my armpit and hands. I had never been this nervous. I thought of what will become of me if Maximus vented his anger on me. I knew it wasn’t in my place to interfere but I just couldn’t sit back and watch her be killed. I just couldn’t. It wasn’t her fault to pay. She he was a child who knew nothing about

    My mind was a market place. My thoughts had been consumed by the dream I had last night. If that dream was true, it meant I had two mates. And if I were to choose, I’ll choose Alpha Knox. He was not as manipulative as Alpha Maximus. But the mark on my body meant Knox was my only mate. I was cleaning the room where I had slept in last night, when a maid ran into the tent. “Nina! Nina!” “What?” “Something bad is happening!” She pulled me out of the tent and we ran to a place that were crowdes with people. Even though I was just a maid here, people knew me to be a story of justice leader. Freedom fighter. “This girl deserves to die!” Maximus growled and the young girl began to weep. “Please have mercy your highness” she cried. I turned to the maid.” What did she do?” I whispered. “She used the walkway reserved for the alpha” my eyes widened. She nodded. That was the biggest crime as a maid. A lower person in a pack. We sometimes do this but no body told on anyone. Death i

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    A way out

    “Don't touch me!” I barked. They didn't heed to my words as they threw me into the room. One of the guards stared me in the face and shoved me harder than expected. I landed in my butt. “Owwww” I yelped. “Stay here and don't come out!” He growled. The moment they left me alone in the room, I began to pace. I felt like a butterfly put in a bottle. Just then I opened my hands and there was crumbled up pain in it. I arched an eyebrow. What was this? I didn't recall having to get a paper on my way here. Slowly I unwrapped thr crumbled mess and began to read. And I did that countless times, till my eyes became blurry. It read. Meet me at the water fall tonight, if you want to get out of here alive. I froze. What was this? Was it that guard that shoved me? I read it again. The more I read, the more anxious I became. A part of me wanted to meet him. “I’m sorry your highness, I didn’t mean to do that” she begged. I raised a hand. “Its okay” she nodded. She was packing

    The music was soft, slow glowing around as I watched people walk around me like a furniture. I was on attendance to this event because Maximus had upgraded me from a maid to a Luna in waiting. The jealousy I have received in just few minutes of arrival, were humongous to count. Everywhere I looked, there was someone glatong my way. Maximus had thrown a ball in celebration of his success in the siege of the Femwood pack. I stood by watching the banished lunas comfortable in the midst of their enemies. They engaged I. Silly conversation on which guard from the blue moon pack was the most handsome. Spine less women. While they stay and smile like buffoons, maids were in the back slaving all through. Disgust filled my belly and I was this close to vomit. As I sipped on my drink, I felt some sort of unease all over me. I knew someone was looking at me. I could see them the lady at 6’oclock with ugly looking wig. The woman at the door with a hideous make you to cover her insecurities. An

    Pacing the end of the hall I looked up to the VIP section. Your Highness was yet to come out. I was sure the party was over but she was nowhere to be found. Even maximus and seven Hawkins had left the venue but I couldn't find her. Was she found? Overwhelmed with worry I began to go up the VIP section. “hey you! “Someone yelled behind me. I froze but I kept going. I just wanted to reach the end of the VIP section. I just wanted to know if anyone was still up there. I hoped she had not been killed or something. “are you hard of hearing! I said stop! “The voice was harsher and closer. I immediately stopped. “turn around “the voice behind me ordered. I took in a deep breath and slowly turned. “Marcus?”It was the chief of the bodyguards. I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it was him. This will be easy to get out of. “Hey chief” I laughed nervously. “What are you doing up here?” His eyes roamed the room behind me. I looked down and sighed. “ Is anything wrong?” he

    “I can’t believe this” I muttered as tears began to pool in my eyes. He sighed and looked away. Marcus was hurt when I told him Amelia had died. I apologized fot not coming to the meeting because I was too hurt. Too hurt to think about anything other than my pain. I had lost a friend. And no one was going to help us. “I wonder why Alpha Knox didn't come?” I said. “you are his mate. He should be running in now” he said turning back to stare at me. I couldn’t hold it all in as I sobbed quietly. No one cares about me. Even the f*e that did either died or are suffering. I thought of Lilith. I might never get to meet her again. Few minutes passed and when my cries had been reduced to just sniffs, he cleared his throat. “There’s more bad news?’ I glared at him and he nodded. “Then out with it” I snapped. The moment I did, I felt worse. This man was not to blame for anything but I felt angry. Enough with the pain. “I’m sorry” I muttered but he stopped me with a wave of his hands “It’s

    The breeze blew steadily through the window and caused the room to be quite chilly. I shivered in reaction. Staring do you I could goose pimples all over my body. I groaned and ran a hand over my hair. I hated being sick. The feeling of inadequacy and less strength scared the hell out of me. How would I control and command the pack if I lay confined in a room. On a bed. With all my strength, I managed to sit up. My breathing was ragged as I tried to steady myself. I sat on the edge of the bed, my head in my hands. I could feel my skin burning like fire was licking at my insides. Every muscle ached, like I had gone ten rounds in a fight I didn’t remember. Even thr thought of laying back on the bed. The strength to do that. It hurt so much. A layer of sweat slicked my skin, my breathing shallow. My wolf stirred restlessly, uneasy. Something was wrong. Why was I sick suddenly? Was it what I ate? I hadn't eaten much since I got back with Arya. "Your highness" Vok ‘voice cu

    “We are ready your Highness!” Vok announced and I nodded. I grabbed my silver bullet and loaded the gun. This was the deadliest silver in the whole of the werewolf Kingdom. “Is everything set “I asked Vok. He nodded.” Yes Your Highness” “Let's go” I ordered. Just before I could take one step forward, I felt a sharp pain in my head and I flinched. Oh no, what was it now? Vow turned around. Surprised that I did not follow him. He walked back. “Are you alright your highness?” he asked staring into my eyes. I nodded. “Yes yes, let's go” I forced my eyes open and began to walk despite the weakness engulfing my body. ******************************************************** The car revved up to a start and the driver drove off. I looked out that window. Satisfied that all my men were with me. If I couldn't fight, I could instruct them on what to do. Then I sighed. We were running out of time. I could feel it. It was like an invisible cord pulling me forward, because of

    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

    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 Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Is this love?

    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

    I was no child. I needed no telling that people were talking about it. Everywhere I went there was 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 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 marrying
