Nina's POV

What? What was happening?

How could this be? Who could have been hurt? I looked him over as I tried to ascertain wherever he may be hurt.

“Your highness what happened. Come—”

“ Did you for a moment think that I was crying?” He smirked.I froze. Those weren't tears? Oh this cocky bastard.

Knox released my hands and wiped his eyes clean. I watched his long fingers swipe at all. Parts of his face. When he looked at me again, my heart raced. He stared into my eyes and moved closer, thereby closing the gap between us. What was he doing? My heart pounded.

Knox went ahead to put on the light behind and I flinched as soon as the light came on.

“There's your sunlight,” he muttered . “ Don't open the curtains” I quickly nodded. “ Congratulations on getting into my room but not my life …mate” Knox said emphasis on the last word. He stared at me and I evaded his gaze. Looking everywhere but at his face.

“You are nervous,” Knox leaned in. I fought keeping my focus on so

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Bitter sweet

    Nina's POV I looked into his eyes as my neck hurt. His eyes were clouded with need. I could feel his erection on my skin. My chest rising and fall. What does this mean? Was he going to bed me? I thought he found me disgusting. But then I couldn't and shouldn't resist. Gently, he led me to the bed. I prepared myself mentally for a forceful push to the bed. The forceful sex known of Alpha's. I shut my eyes waiting. But it never came. As if finding me irresistible, he began undressing me, one slow and seductive movement after another, his dark eyes boring into mine as he did so. It was a challenge, but not nearly as daunting as my fear of what would happen when this evening came to an end. My hands trembled as they touched him. His taut muscles. His smooth skin. His hands on me were so warm and reassuring. I couldn’t help it. His mouth brushed over my neck and my whole body shivered with delight. I didn't believe Alpha Knox could make me quake and feel shy just from kissing me

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    A new friend

    Nina’s POV The steam from the hot bowl rolls out like a dancing lady, twisting her hips from side to side. I hissed as the cloth made contact with my skin. It was very hot. “I’m sorry your highness,” Amelia said. I slowly nodded. She dabbed the cloth around my neck quickly. When I looked at the water, I sighed. It’s all bloody. Not as thick as blood but clearly red. My eyes scanned the room. My nightgown is lying on the floor. My panties are thrown on the bed. There’s also blood on the bed. A proof of my innocence. Finally, the deed had been done. As a breeder, I stayed up nights filled with horror. Nights my master would talk of defiling me, but they never did. Lilith was quite the opposite. She fantasized about how beautiful that night would be. She said she knew it would be a sweet and memorable day. I often laughed at her. A breeder never dreamt of beautiful sweet nights with her master. Because half of the time, it was filled with brute force and cries. While mine was a so

    Nina’s POV I sat still staring at the letter and the snowball. My head was in chaos. I really wanted to see the snow. It’s been awhile since I went out. Life in this room feels like it was squeezing my air flow. It was tempting and I wanted to see for myself. That night my eyes were as wide as that of an owl. I was awake when Alpha Knox came in. Deep in thought I didn’t hear him stand in front of where I lay on the floor. “Hey” he said. “Hey” he said again. My heart skipped.I immediately shut my eyes. He sighed. I know you are awake, you can’t fool me” he said and walked to the bed. “You can sleep on the bed, the night is cold.” I still went. On the bed? He might want some sex and then he would bite me. Nah I’ll pass. I was still going through my thoughts when he suddenly walked out of the room. When I could hear nothing but my thundering heartbeat, I knew I was alone. I quietly stood up and went to the door. I listened and could hear nothing. He was really gone. A big smile for

    Amelia’s POV “Let me go! Put me down!” I kicked and pushed. The men shoved me out of the car and we began to walk. It was a short walk before we got to the house. Panic rose in my throat. I couldn’t believe it. I had been kidnapped from my father’s house. My father was not just anybody. He was the Alpha. The Alpha of the blood sea Pack. “Let me go or else Heads would roll, my father would make sure of that!” I said in clenched teeth. That did not move them one bit. They got to a room and opened it. The carefulness they took in putting me on the bed, made me raise an eyebrow. It meant only one thing. I needed to be alive. They closed the door and immediately I sprang up like one that had been bitten by an ant. “Let me out! Somebody help” I Banged on the door like a mentally deranged woman but it was of no use. No one came to the door because when I stopped all I could hear was radio silence. I kept trying the door but it wouldn’t budge. Then I turned around and my breath caught in

    Ashira’s POVI 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.I

    Knox's POV “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

    Knox’s POV 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

    Ashira’s POVI jolted up from sleep, panting like one that had run a race. Sweat gleamed all over my skin. I sat up properly. What sort of dream was that? Why did Knox get to be victorious? He should be dead from that poison. He shouldn’t have reached the Fanwood. Just then there was a banging sound coming from my door. I arched an eyebrow. Who was that by this time of the night? The knocking continued. “Xander!” I yelled. I didn’t hear him come in and the knocking persisted. “Ughh!!” I used the pillow to cover my ears and but it didn’t make it any better. I knew that the only way I would get this solved is if I go open the door myself. Finally I was able to pull myself from the bed and walked to the door. “Just let me see the idiotic that is disturbing my sleep” I said wit gritted teeth as I marched to the door.The knock came again. More impatient and louder. “I ‘m coming!” I whispered harshly.Finally I opened the door. It was a maid. “Are you crazy? Youcan” t around banging on

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.

    Knox's POV 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 c

    Nina's POV “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 fee 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 hand

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 wro

    Nina's POV 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 ins

    Nina's POV “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 packi

    Nina's POV 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.

    Nina's POV 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 not
