THE ALPHA'S VESSEL

Author: Liam Michael
last update Last Updated: 2024-11-29 05:33:52

The Alpha's threat sent bile up my throat. He squeezed the air pipes by the side of my neck, strangling me with the intention to snap my bone.

I panicked, shaking under his grip begging for my life.

"Please let me live. I fulfill my purpose to you until the day I die and will forever be your vessel." I managed to say and earned my freedom from his grip.

He pushed me to the ground and moved away from where I fell.

I held my neck coughing and struggled to steady my breath. Everywhere was still dark like the pit of hell.

There is no doubt that he must be the prince of hell judging from the kind of place he was living in.

I guess I would never see daylight again because of my new purpose as his vessel.

"Do you know what it is to be a vessel?" His asked with a terrifying voice.

"No."

"A worthless slave without a wolf. You can't even be classified as an omega. Yet you were chosen to be a vessel to contain a curse."

_A curse?_

I was sanctified to carry a curse? Can my life get any worse?

"Do you know what that means?" He breezed past me. I shook my head in response even though I knew it was unreasonable to do so since the room was dark.

I could barely make out his figure and could sense only his intimidating presence.

"You will absorb the darkness of the Alpha. An evil that tears other werewolves in halves, turns them crazy and suck out their souls. You will be the hundredth vessel to fill the void. And it is obvious that you will not last." He growled.

"If I may ask, why is everywhere dark?" I managed to ask even though I was scared as hell.

He chuckled, roaming around me in circles. "An embodiment of darkness can't welcome light. That is what you will bear once I transfer the curse to you."

"What if I heal you from the curse? A little light can cast shadows to a corner."

"You are just a slave, what can you do?"

I had no idea of what I said or even a solution to it. But the darkness was too much for me to bear.

There was no trace of light, everything was pitch black and it made it difficult for me to think without feeling endangered.

I inhaled the suffocating air and decided to try my luck.

"You said that I was chosen as your vessel. I am not too sure of what I can do or what it means to be your vessel. But if you are willing to let me help then I will do my best to serve in exchange for you to spare my life."

This was me gambling with my life. If I succeed, I might be able to manipulate my way out of this hellish pack and return to my family.

"Give me two reasons why I should listen to you and not take your life."

"If I am the chosen one then there must be other reasons behind it. As you know, I am a powerless slave without a wolf. If I am able to awaken my wolf maybe I would be able to help you cure your curse. That is if you are willing to help me."

"And if you fail?"

"I die by your hands," I said, sealing my fate.

"Very well," He muttered and snapped his fingers together, illuminating the room a little with a dull yellow candle.

I could barely see him since the part he had lighted was just the spot I stood on.

"Is that it? Just this amount of light? If I may ask, are you afraid..."

"Silence!" He growled, startling the hell out of me.

"Just because I let you speak does not mean you can utter any word you desire. I won't hesitate to send your life if you irk me again."

"Forgive me, Alpha. It will not repeat itself again." I apologized, dropping my head down.

"Run."

"What?"

"If I catch you, you are dead. So run." He ordered. I didn't understand what he meant and didn't know where to run to.

Nevertheless, I took my heels, dashing to the nearest door I could find.

I barged into the room, slamming the door shut. My heart raced uncontrollably as I shook in fear.

"Run not hide slave," he muttered behind me.

Terror took over my entire body as his hand wrapped around my neck.

"You can't do this. Give me another chance." I lamented.

"Nothing is ever fair in this world, slave. You had a chance to escape just like you heard planned in your head."

_How did he know that? Can he read my mind?_

"Now listen carefully. From now on, you are not allowed to leave this room unless I say so. You are not allowed to come in contact with anyone.You will not question my decisions, you will follow every rule I make and you will serve me on any occasion I desire whether good or bad. Understood?"

I shook my head in response and he tightened his grip on my neck.

"Say it."

"Yes, Alpha." I responded according to his wish.

"Now, tell me, how many times have you bred?" He asked.

His question was unexpected and it confused me that he would bring it up.

"None. I haven't bred with any werewolves since I haven't awakened my wolf."

"And your masters, did any of them touch you?"

"No." I breathed out unsure of what I was feeling at the moment. I couldn't differentiate whether it was fear or not.

After a long pause, he let go of my neck and walked away from me.

"Give me your hand." He ordered.

I didn't hesitate to extend my hand to him quickly. He grabbed it and stabbed a dagger into my arm.

"Shush. Don't scream."

I muffled the sound of the pain I felt while watching my blood run down my arm.

He chuckled then brought his lips to my bleeding arm and drank my blood. I was stunned by his action and grew weary as he continued.

After a few minutes, he looked at me and got the first time I saw his face especially his red shot eyes.

"You are a vampire."

"A tribrid, slave." He corrected.

An alpha with a vampiric nature. He is truly the devil's heir.

"No one knows about this, am I correct?" I asked feeling a strange kind of comfort.

"Not many. Now, do you understand why your life belongs to me?"

"Yes, I understand. To serve you at all occasions."

If this was my fate then there was no use hoping to be alive for a long time.

He continued to drink my blood until I couldn't feel my legs anymore.

"From now on, you are mine." He declared bitting down harder with his elongated fangs.

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    UNEXPECTED TRUCE

    She talks a lot especially for someone whose blood I had drained half. Her voice keeps whispering things non stop. She doesn't know that I hear every single thought of her. I can't count the number of times she has labeled me as the devil's heir since her arrival into my room. Even though she called me such a name, I was glad that she feared me. Every single living being on earth should be afraid of me, worship me and die by my hands. It was the only way for them to survive under my reign. _What kind of awful Alpha would lock himself in a dark room?_ _Here needs some light._ _Forget it. He is bound to darkness forever. It's a pity that he would never understand what it feels like to be surrounded by light_ These were her thoughts and every single one of them irked me. If not for her purpose as my vessel, I would have killed instantly. But that would cause me eternal years full agony. I was cursed with a darkness that brought nothing but pain due to a prophecy proclaimed

    The next day was different. After the Alpha left his room yesterday, he didn't return and I stayed the whole night alone. I was glad that he didn't return and used it as an opportunity to gaze at the night sky. This might sound crazy but I feel safer here as a vessel than living in a rusty breeder cage. At least, I got to wear soft and clean clothes. Sitting by the window sill, I gazed at the sky scattered with white clouds. I finally got to see it after years of being trapped in a cage. A knock sounded on the door, disrupting my line of thought. I grew weary presuming it was the Alpha at the door. But when I unlocked the door, a beautiful tall woman with a slender figure and red hair stood before. "So it is true. Knox is harbouring a girl in his room," she said with a surprised expression as she stepped into the room. I backed away from her frightened by her presence. She scrutinized me up and down, circling my body until she was done with her observation. "What is y

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    THE MATING CEREMONY

    It was another ridiculous mating ceremony. Even though the celestial servant had proclaimed the arrival of my mate, I had no interest in mating and marking a pretentious slut as my Luna. No woman was worthy of standing by my side. And if tonight, the moon goddess gives me a worthless woman as a mate, I will reject and go as far as killing her in front of everyone. That is a promise. I strode into the dining room where other members of my family were present. Their smiles died down as I joined them at the table. "Good morning, Alpha Knox. You are up early. I guess you are excited about tonight's mating ceremony," my mother said with an awkward smile. "Excited? I am more than delighted," I muttered, matching her pretense. She smiled then turned her attention to her brother. After that, no one spoke to me not even my siblings. They were like outsiders to me. Each of them held a grudge against me. It never bothered me because I loved the malice. It made it easy for me to cut

    _no, it can't be him._ He cannot be my mate. I ran as fast as I could but my race was short lived when he subdued me with his strength. "What? A slave is my mate!" He growled in surprise. Exactly, a slave cannot be mated to an alpha. But the bond I felt towards couldn't tell a lie. He was going to reject me, that was certain. However, the smirk that turned up in his face said otherwise. "I guess you are bound to be my vessel for the rest of your life. I will gladly accept the moon goddess's gift," he mused, grabbing my arm and pinning me against the oak tree. I fought against him, trying to break free from his grip. But he was too strong for me to handle. "Don't fight it, mate. You are mine," he declared. His eyes turned to a bright red as his side teeth extended, revealing his beast side. I knew what he was about to do and dreaded the outcome of his plan. Without mercy, he bit down on my neck, marking me as his Luna. I screamed and felt a strange sensation pass thro

    I kissed her regardless of her protest to stay away from me. Ever since I found out that she was my mate, I couldn't stop myself from tormenting her. She was the only person I was willing to be with even if it means causing her pain till the day she ceases to exit. I bit down on her lips, forcing her to pry them apart while her frail body trembled under me. "Please, don't do this to me. I beg you," she cried, disobeying my third rule. Seeing her helpless and broken amused me. It gave me the urge to torment her even more against her wish. "What was my third rule?" I whispered against her ear and she trembled, squeaking as I bit her earlobe. "To always obey your rules." "And what have you done?" "Begged for your mercy." "Good girl, I like that you are able to answer each of my questions correctly. For that, I will go easy on you. Quick advice, take this as a commemorative ceremony of me taking away your innocence," I muttered, keeping to my word. I began to kiss her n

  • The Dark Alpha's Secret mate    Undeniable Bond

    Last night was a nightmare for me, being chased and marked by my mate Alpha Knox. I expected him to reject me, look at me with disdain and kick me out for being his mate. But he acknowledged our mating bond. Whether his acknowledgement was a good or bad thing, I couldn't tell. And how he looked at me last night, I felt strangely aroused and wondered if he felt the same. What am I even saying? I shouldn't feel any for a tyrant that wants to kill me. I must be crazy to think that he would feel the same spark I felt towards him in that dark woods. Most importantly, how did I shift into my wolf? I have never felt my wolf within me before. I even thought I didn't have one. Even now I couldn't feel anything. Does it mean that I get to feel her when I am with him? I have never felt so frustrated and desperate at the same time like this. The fact that I have to share the same space with an alpha who doesn't want me. While I was thinking, my ears twitched, tuning into the soun

    She took my breath away the moment I laid my eyes on her. Even my dead heart raced like that of a stupid teenage boy. After last night's encounter, I was visited by madam Lafayette in the woods. She had confronted me about my cruel behavior towards my mate and warned me to take things carefully with her if I wanted to be free from my curse. According to her, she was my redemption. But no matter how many times I tried to convince myself that she was nothing but a lowly Omega brought out of the slum, I still couldn't deny the fact that I was strongly attracted to her. Even now that she was standing in that bright blue dress, I couldn't take my eyes off her. And finally believed that she was truly mated to me. My wolf, Krix howled for her attention and from the way she looked at me, I could tell that she too felt the bust of arousal I felt within. When she missed a step and lost her balance, I panicked. The rush of adrenaline that pumped through my veins increased my speed, cat

    I watched as Alpha Knox spoke to people. He looked handsome and fitting in this environment. While I felt like a book in a wrong shelf. People kept coming up us. Prestigious people in the pack. I felt out of place. The women around him glared at me and ignored me like I was a piece of furniture. I watched Alpha Knox move with people. He didn't even know I was not by his side. I decided not to follow him. I wouldn't stray far though. At least no one here had red hair. I sat by and watched as people laughed and drank. In those pretentious voices. I hated it here. I wanted to leave. Suddenly something caught my eye. It was a young girl. She seemed to be the same age as me. She was following around an older man. I was about to wave her off as a girl who wanted to sleep around when I saw the resemblance between the two. That was her father. As they made their way across the hall. I overheard her words. “Dad, I don't like my mate,” she said, pouting. The older man chuckled. “

    I got to the bathroom and slowly closed the door. I waited and listened. I could hear footsteps outside the door. I put it on the tap in the bathroom. The noise was okay. Then I tapped on the teleprompter. “Hey, Vok you there?” And all I could hear were crickets. I called out to him again, and the answer was the same. I became tired of trying to get across to him I decided to actually use the bathroom. After I flushed, I stood in front of the mirror, water dripping down my face, hands gripping the sink like it could stop the storm inside me. I have tried countless times to get across to Vok, but all of them favored me, and I was getting frustrated. Any moment now, my mother would have to be the one to knock on the door and ask what was taking me so long. Suddenly the teleprompter in my ear buzzed low. “your Highness” came my Vok's voice, tight with urgency. “We’ve hit a dead end. A gate. Reinforced steel deep in silver. If we hold in longer, we might die.” “Where is it?” I

    The rain had just stopped falling and I gave the guards a signal to start moving. It wasn't a short distance but we were ready to go far to get what we wanted. Firstly I asked that the ice in the palace be warm or disposed. I mean, anything I would do to not let them keep supplying the ice dungeon more ice. That way Nina would still be alive. I and my men stopped in front of the pink gate. I rolled my eyes. My mother and weird colors. “Announce us! “ my guard ordered. “Your majesty! The alpha of winter fell is here to see you” The man hurriedly ran to open the door. I recognize him. He hadn't changed at all. Xander. My mother's minion. All Ashira had to do was to say jump and he would be asking how high. I hated him. He was spineless. Not a he wolf. He was easily ordered around like a little dog. I wondered if he ever transitioned. I doubt if he has. If not he wouldn't be this spineless. The door opened and I squinted. Stating right in front of me were colors. Like a rainbo

    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.
