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 on the day I was born.

And the only way to end this ridiculous curse was to fill my darkness into a weak human vessel.

The slave girl was chosen to contain the evil inside me and once she absorbs the darkness, she will be slaughtered and sacrificed to the moon goddess.

My eyes flickered to her side, watching every slow movement she made without sight. She crawled on her fours, feeling the air for an obstacle.

It was thrilling to see her do as she pleased knowing well that I could kill her at any time.

_I can't see a thing._

_I hope he doesn't kill me if I do this._

She crawls forward and stops at an end corner. I got up from where I sat and decided to end her adventurous delight.

But when I halt in front of her, she drags down a fabric and fills the room with sunlight.

I stumbled back to a dark corner, shocked by her audacity and troubled by being burned by the sun.

Her eyes strayed over to my side and for the first time, I saw how blue her eyes were. They were dead blue with a little sparkle which must have been caused by the sunlight she had released into my room.

"Are you out of your mind?!" I gritted my teeth, promising to kill her once the darkness was restored.

She silently strode towards me, her eyes fixed with awe as if she had seen a present.

When she stops in front of me, she does the worst thing that aggravates my anger. Touching my face with her filthy hands.

I was definitely going to kill her after this but she mutters a word that strikes my chest. "Beautiful."

For a moment, I felt my heart skip a bit. My fucking dead heart skipped.

"Do you have a death wish?"

"I have been assigned to death since the day I was born. If I am going to live with you till the day I die, then I have to get used to you." She muttered trailing her index finger on my nose.

"Are you not afraid of me?"

"I am. But I am using all the courage I have to do this. After all you own my life," she said with a dead gaze.

Her words surprised me especially the part where she said I owned her life.

This slave girl accepted her fate without questioning it. As expected of a lowlife Omega.

"Alpha, don't you think it is beautiful?"

_What exactly is wrong with this slave girl? How can she ask such a ridiculous question without ?._

She made my heart skip again just by staring into my eyes with her ocean blue eyes.

I must be sick to feel this stupid incomprehensible emotion towards her. My death must be near.

"Your room, isn't it beautiful with the light?" She questioned and I realized that she was referring to the room and not me.

I narrowed my eyes at her, irked by her stupid question yet I couldn't deny the truth in her words.

For the first time in years I could see the difference of my room with the light in it.

"Let's make a truce. During the day I let the light in and at night you take charge as you wish. I will remain your vessel for both hours.This way I can serve my purpose to you quickly and disappear from your life just as I came."

"Very well, you have my word," I agreed.

"If I may ask. Does the sun affect you?"

"That question is irrelevant." I growled, narrowing my eyes at her.

"I mean no harm and just trying to help you."

"Help me? I don't need your help, all you have to do is absorb my curse and nothing more. Just because I gave you the chance to have a truce between us does not mean I cannot fasten your death. If you want to survive under me, try not to stick your nose where it doesn't belong," I warned her then stepped into the light.

As much as I hated the sun, it couldn't burn me to death like a regular vampire. My Werewolf side played a big role in this and made it possible for me to walk around without anyone suspecting my vampiric side during the day.

"Forgive me if I have offended you with my words. It will not repeat itself again," she muttered, her head staring down at the floor.

She retreated to a corner and sat by the wall, eyes wandering around the room except me.

It was better this way, for her to know the danger she was faced with if she tried to cross me.

"Remember, you are never to leave this room unless I say so." With this said, I left my room taking the form of my original identity as the devil alpha of the Winter fall pack.

I walked into the elevator and went down to meet my cabinet members. My Beta, Vok bowed as I strode into the meeting chamber.

"The Alpha has arrived. Rise and pay your respect," Vok announced.

The elders arose from their chairs and bowed respectfully even though some of them were against my ruling.

Each of them were cunny in different ways and never to be trusted.

"You may take your seats. And keep the meeting brief." I instructed.

"Alpha, we have decided amongst ourselves that if you don't find a mate at the mating ceremony tomorrow, we will select a capable Luna to stay by your side,"Abram, the head of the council stated.

I chuckled knowing what they had planned. Abram Miller was my enemy. If not for my father's dying wish to keep him as the head of the pack's council, I would have killed him long ago.

A greedy old fart with a worthless ambition for my position as the pack leader.

"That shouldn't be any of your business. My Luna will come to me just as the prophecy says. I know what you want Abram. Do you think throwing your daughter at me would give you the chance to overthrow me? This is my last warning, if any of you bring up the matter of finding a Luna for me, I will not hesitate to end that person's household." I declared with an authoritative voice.

Dominating them with my dark aura until they cowered back in fear. They knew better than anyone not to go against my order.

Being merciless was my talent and I never hesitated to use it on defiants.

"Is there anyone who wishes to speak should come forward." I broke the silence after a few minutes.

"Greetings, alpha. It is I, Madam Lafayette. The celestial servant of the moon goddess."

I looked towards her position, acknowledging her presence. Madam Lafayette was an old woman that had been serving the Alpha family in winter fall for generations.

It was unreasonable not to listen to her message especially those from the moon goddess directly.

"What do you have for me, madam Lafayette?"

"I come with good news, alpha. On the night of the mating ceremony, during the hour of the golden moon under the oak tree of life you shall meet your Luna. She shall come in a luminous glow and only you shall meet her. If you fail to find her at the right hour, you will lose your powers alpha and die after three days. This is the message of the Moon goddess.”

    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

    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. “

    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.

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.

    "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

    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 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

    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 was in. “Sir” he bowed to me. I tilted my head to a side. What was this now? Alpha Knox smiled. “The chief executioner here did a very good job last time” the man was gr
