You know what hurts the most?

Alpha Knox was kind of nice to me earlier. He told me I was beautiful. And foolishly as I was, I began to hope. Even I found it hard to believe he said that. Now here he was cheating.

I hung my head like a dying flower and was about to leave, when someone grabbed me by the waist and covered my mouth. My eyes flew open.

“let me go! I —”

“It's me” came that dark raspy voice. I stilled. I turned around immediately and there he was. My mate.

He grabbed my arm, willing me to look into his eyes. “ Where did you run off too!?” He growled.

“You are hurting me” I yelped, trying to free myself from his grip.

“That was my intent” he smirked “To cause you pain” I whimpered as he tightened his grip.

“You will get punished for this” he sneered. “ That is a promise”

********************************************************

As we rode back to the house, I would turn my head to steal a glance at this beautiful man who was now my mate.

    Hands behind my back, I paced to the ends of the palace. My mind was like that of a marketplace. For a weird reason, I felt guilty. Guilty for putting Nina in the dungeon. I still feel she deserved it for not listening to my words but my wolf thinks otherwise. "What have you done?!” My wolf questioned. “How could you put your mate in the deepest part of the dungeon? Did she kill anyone? What the hell was her crime? “ He growled. Then I replied. “How dare she leave the spot? How dare she go farther away from me? What if Ashira saw her? She might be dead by now.” My wolf glared at me, bearing his teeth at me. “ For what you have done, I will not be with you” “Well don't be” I replied. “ Who needs you anyway” Then I could feel him leaving. I scowled at the moon. This damned curse wants to make me soft. To make care. Who cares if she's my mate. I walked up to my room. As I passed the corner Nina would usually stay, I felt some sort of nostalgia. She would stay hunched over

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    A Nightmare

    The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a dead squirrel. I gasped and sprang up. Turning my head around, I realized I was in the woods. What was I doing here? I began walking aimlessly. Saw some wild fruits and ate them. After I rested I realized it was getting dark. I needed to find somewhere to sleep. And so I did. It was under a mango tree. I slowly made a makeshift bed with leaves underneath. I lay there expecting to stay awake until sleep came and finally stole me away like a thief. Then I woke up again. It all began, the moment I opened my eyes. Everywhere was pitch black and nothing was in sight. “My eyes!” Panic set in. Running my hands frantically across my face. I was surprised to find out that it got darker as I did that. Then it occurred to me that I wasn’t blind but I still couldn’t see anything. That was when my heart rate spiked up all the way to the highest. It beat as if it was about to leave my body. “Where am I!?” I screamed in my head. Placing m

    I sprang up immediately to find out that it was a dream. My breath was ragged. I had sweat all over my body like I had been running a race. Nina has been shot. She died crying. Screaming . I snatched a robe and ran out. Taking the keys from one of my men, I ran to the dungeon. My heart was in my mouth, as I wonder the state she could be in. For first time in a long time, I was pretty scared. What if she died. On getting there, I took out a torchlight. I pointed it around the cell but I couldn’t find Nina. “Nina!” I growled. out her name but I got no response. My heart was beating at a very fast rate. What if she had died or something? I kept asking myself. I opened the door to the cell and came closer. That was when relief washed over me as I saw her curled up like a kitten, sleeping. I stopped to touch her. I found out that Nina was running at a very high temperature. “Your highness ! What Happened? You scared us?!” I turned to find Vok and madam Lafayette standing out

    “Ashira!!! Where the hell are you?!” lysa screamed into the phone. My phone had been buzzing endlessly and the moment I heard Lysa’s voice, I knew I was in deep shit. “Hi Lysa, good morning please try stalling her on, I’m almost there!” I begged as I jumped out of bed. Shit! I had slept in again and I would get late for work at the palace. “Ashira there is absolutely nothing good about the morning. I know you spent the night watching that annoying doctor and ending it by reading novels?” “Ehhh something like that but it’s–“ she cut me off. “Save what ever you have to say for yourself later. Now will you get your ass down here or you will get me in trouble!” And on that note she ended the call. A huge grin stretched across my face as I thanked the heavens for giving me such a friend like her. She had been my friend for a long as I can remember, although get parents forbade her our friendship. It seemed like the harder they Tried to break us apart. I applied my cream on my

    “Oh” I muttered, clutching the sheets to the chest. I stared down, unable to look home in the face. “Alpha Knox!” Immediately he heard his name, he walked out of the room, leaving me all by myself. I took that as an opportunity to look for my clothes. I searched for them on the floor and other places but all I could see was my scarf. I grabbed it immediately and began searching for the rest of my clothes. “Where could he have kept them?” I muttered as I stood. Standing this time in front of the mirror, I stared at my reflection. I had swollen eyes and plump lips. I didn’t have beautiful sleep hair. I used my scarf to tie my hair, literally covering all my hair. I did that because I didn’t like the looks people gave me for the color. It was white, unlike that of girls my age. After I had tied my hair, I looked up to find someone in the mirror. I opened my mouth in horror. “Oh I’m sorry” I muttered as I immediately moved aside while I bent my head a little. I wondered how long he

    Madam Lafayette took me by the hand and together we went into the palace. She first took me to the maid quarters. “Who amongst you asked her to do laundry?” she asked. Her eyes were blazing. Her voice, sharp like a knife. There was silence. Before I could put in my next line of thoughts, the head of that head maid was dangling from on the floor. Shaking vigorously as if trying to connect to the detached body. Her body fell with a thud and blood splattered in my face. I shut my eyes immediately. What the heck just happened? My heart pounded in my chest and my hands trembled. Was it that easy to take a life? What was this life as a mate and vessel and its gory details? Blood sipped out of the bodies and it rushed to my feet. I squeezed my toes in utmost disgust and fear. “Who asked her to wash those clothes? Who made her leave the alpha's Chambers” Madam Lafayette said again. I glanced at her and my blood ran cold. There was no proof of emotion on her face. She was like a r

    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 something. Anyth

    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. If the

    “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

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    An accusation

    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
