The alpha king's slave Chapter 23 - Saving the people.
I could feel the eyes on us in the gardens as we walked and I wished it would come to an end already. What the hell did he want from me because he sure as hell didn’t want me! I tried to focus instead of allowing my thoughts to drift.“How about you, your majesty? Did you go to school or travel the world before you became king?” I was hoping I could turn the tables on him and get the damn attention off me. He burst out laughing.“As a matter of fact, I did. I was the first prince who went to school. All the princes before me were homeschooled in the castle, and I traveled to most of the main territories in our kingdom before my coronation. Travelling is part of the tradition. It’s a sort of future king meets his people type of thing.” I frowned. I never heard of the “future king” coming to our pack.That just went to show you that the pack wasn’t as important as they thought it was and I fought the urge to smile.“My old pack wasn’t the worst pack out there, but they sure as hell were

It literally took all morning to go through all the horrors of what Ariana experienced with the slave traders. I had to agree with her that it sounded as if her pack sold the omegas into slavery. They were orphans mostly and not linked to any family which made them the perfect assets, so to speak. I was slowly forming a plan on how to take care of the slave traders and perhaps get the pixie queen onboard at the same time.In between our discussions, my councillors kept me up to date on what was happening with my father, and just before Ariana left for lunch with my mother, I realized that I hadn’t even spoken to my mother about my plans. If I was going to hijack her lady-in-waiting until this problem was sorted out, it would be the decent thing to do to discuss the situation with her.On the spur of the moment, I decided to join the ladies for lunch. My mother was still looking defeated, but as soon as she saw Ariana walking in with me, she lit up like a Christmas tree! That might be

FOR TWO WHOLE DAYS we spend all of our time planning Ella’s wedding until an official-looking letter arrives. The queen’s face turns white as a sheet when she reads it and my heart aches for her. I didn’t have to read the letter to know exactly what it was about.My plans to leave had been put on the back burner for a little while so that I could have free time if Lorenzo needed me to help with the slave situation, but he hadn’t called me once. That could only mean that the letter had to do with the old king’s trial. I wasn’t looking forward to it, but when Lorenzo and I last spoke, he told me that it would help with our case to save the slaves.So, I agreed to testify. Lorenzo felt if he put me on the witness stand it would prove to all the people how the slaves were being treated. Once he had the people on his side, the council would have no other alternative but to agree that Lorenzo might go to war against the slave traders. As the queen got up and walked out, Ella and I were abou

I arrived after everyone had taken their seats and stood waiting outside the enormous double doors of the throne room. I knew that Lorenzo would be sitting on the throne with his mother at his side and Ella beside her. Since I was one of the witnesses, I had to wait outside in the passage until I was called. Lorenzo made very sure that I knew I couldn’t talk to anyone until after I had given my testimony.There were three of us waiting to be called and I could see that the two gentlemen were looking as nervous as I felt. I was going to be up first and I had just gotten up to start pacing when one of the palace guards called me.As I walked into the throne room, all eyes turned to me and I could hear whispers in the background. It was the most terrified I had ever been in my entire life! I made my way down the aisle and was sworn in, to tell the truth. Taking my spot at the small podium, I waited to be bombarded by questions. I could actually feel the hatred radiating off from the old

Sighting, I turned around to look at the woman who gave me life. I opened my mouth to say something and noticed a foot around one of the corners. Grabbing my mother by the arm, I pulled her into the room beside us and closed the door. So, fine. They could stand outside the door and hear us talking, but at least I wouldn’t have to see who saw us!“Mother, he can choose exile if he doesn’t want to.” Knowing full well what that would mean for her, I walked over to the window to look at everyone making their way across the gardens to their different apartments.“Lorenzo, can’t you speak to the council? Have your father declared innocent, then he doesn’t have to leave or be beaten to a damn pulp!” Her eyes filled with tears and my heart ached for my mother, but things had gone too far.“No, I can’t. I’m sorry. If he hadn't interfered with my orders, none of this would have happened.” I threw my hands in the air in frustration. “I couldn’t even sweep it under the rug because you had to inte

I hardly slept a wink and when Lesley woke me in the morning, I could actually see the dark circles under my eyes. The poor girl tried her best to hide it with makeup, but there was no hiding the fact that all of this was getting to me. I wasn’t finished with my damn testimony. The old king and his representative still had the opportunity to ask me some questions.Lesley, my new guard, and I made our way down the passage to the throne room and all along the way, people were telling me how sorry they were for what I had gone through. It was nauseating, to say the least! Why, if they were so damn sorry, hadn’t any of them do anything to protect their property?! Thankfully, my new guard noticed my irritation and he started stopping people from talking to me. We reached the throne room and Lesley went inside while I waited to be called.“Everything is going to be okay, miss. You will finish today and then you will be able to relax and I will be here to stop anyone from bothering you.” He

The evidence was as overwhelming as I knew it would be and Ariana’s return to court was the last straw I needed. Nothing my father said would change the fact that he actually went as far as giving orders that were contrary to mine. The head of the castle guard was the last to testify and from the reaction of the gallery, I knew we were done. Nobody would listen to a word my father had to say ever again. Even his supporters had to agree with my supporters that what he had done was treasonous.When the time came for the verdict, it was no surprise that he was found guilty. Before we started the trial, I was worried he would be found innocent, but now that all was said and done, I knew things were going to go my way. There was no reason to reconvene for sentencing since we had very strict laws regarding treason.I cleared my throat after the judge read the verdict and stood up as silence fell over the entire hall. My eyes caught sight of Ariana and I knew what my wolf had said was true!

Thankfully, Lorenzo understood that I didn’t want to be there and didn’t want to relive the experience. The queen was so preoccupied in the early hours of the morning that she didn’t notice as I sneaked out of her morning room and made my way outside. I crossed the clearing without thinking of who might be seeing me and ran into the forest.I felt as if I wasn’t able to breathe. The dress was strangling me and I started to rip at it while I ran. I had lost my shoes somewhere along the way. I couldn’t even remember shifting, but as I did, it felt as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. My paws dug deep into the soft ground of the forest as the wind caressed my fur.I ran and ran, not looking which way I was going and honestly not caring until I caught a strange scent and before I could figure out what it was, a sparkling creature appeared in front of me. Trying to stop so I wouldn’t run her over, I came to a halt just a short distance from where she was standing.I sniffed the

The alpha king's slave Chapter 81 - The end.
IT FELT AS IF I BLINKED AGAIN and we were standing in the front of the chapel waiting for Liam’s beautiful mate to come down the aisle. We planned their wedding in record time because there was no way those two would be able to hold out for much longer! The only reason we probably did was because Lorenzo rejected me, and I had a chaperone. I suggested it to Liam, and he nearly bit my head off!Besides, Lorenzo was already the king for a couple of years when we met, so the circumstances were different. Lorenzo slightly nudged me and I smiled at him. I found myself constantly trapped in memories over the past couple of weeks, but I just couldn’t help myself. The castle was filled with love and happiness, and I couldn’t help myself. My children’s lives have turned out so much better than I could ever have hoped for.They actually turned out far better than I ever prayed for. The bride walked down the aisle and she looked even prettier than she did at the last fitting. She curtsied in fro
The alpha king's slave Chapter 80 - A fairy tale love.
ON THE NIGHT LIAM TURNED EIGHTEEN, I was standing in our room looking at myself in the mirror. I had the seamstress make me a dress similar to the red one since Lorenzo actually physically tore the old one from my body! Only this dress was a little more appropriate for the queen … For the last night, I would be walking into the ballroom as the queen.Our darling son didn’t just look like his father. He was a true carbon copy. He was kind and loving with a fire in his belly. He wanted to change the world and make things better for our kind and he loved visiting the pixies who simply loved him. Tradition dictated that Lorenzo hand over the title to Liam tonight in a small alpha-type ceremony.The big coronation was going to happen in a couple of weeks. At least the damn protocol allowed for a little time to just celebrate the fact that he was coming of age. I was sending up silent prayers all day that he would find his destined mate tonight. So, it could possibly complicate things, but
The alpha king's slave Chapter 79 - What the future might hold ...
THE NEXT YEAR I STILL FELT STRESSED when the other kids had to go through their ceremonies, but it was a lot easier since they weren’t the future of our territory. Well, they were, but it wasn’t a make-or-break moment like it was with Liam.All our children found their wolves and it was part of the memories I would never forget. It was almost as beautiful as the days they were born. The children were growing and our pack was growing, and while I was sitting in the morning room with my ladies, Lorenzo showed up out of the blue.“I thought we could go for a walk.” He grinned and I knew my husband well enough. I was right because he had a basket waiting just outside the morning room. I laughed as we rushed down the hallway and breathed in the fresh morning air. Lorenzo pulled me into the maze in the garden and finally came to a halt right where we had one of our first dates. I loved that spot. He pulled out a blanket and nearly made me fall into his lap when he pulled me down with him.H
The alpha king's slave Chapter 78 - Liam's ceremony - Part 2
WE GOT THROUGH THE MEAL, and I mean literally just survived it with all the children. I breathed a sigh of relief as we stepped out onto the grass and I could feel the cool grass under my bare feet. Everyone was dressed casually so we could shift after Liam shifted.The moon was full and beautiful in the sky as Lorenzo made his speech. The bonfires were lit, and we started a countdown. The moon shone down on my beautiful boy as I sent up one last silent prayer. I know I’ve asked a lot of her during my life, but if she could just help me this once …“Three … Two … ONE!” We all shouted and everyone looked at Liam. When the first bone breaking echoed through the clearing, I realized that everyone had probably been holding their breaths! It was horrifying watching my son go through his first time, but it was an incredible relief as well. His wolf was gorgeous once he completely shifted.His pelt was a purist silk black colour just like his father's and he had a beautiful white spot on the
The alpha king's slave Chapter 77 - Liam's ceremony - Part 1
AS I EXPECTED, Lesley and her mate returned from their getaway with the news that they wanted a normal werewolf ceremony. I was a little sad to hear that they wanted to have it at his pack house, but I could understand why. He wanted to show off his Luna and it was going to be her new home.They invited us to their ceremony, which was a plus at least. After most of our guests left and the excitement of the entire thing was over, I had some news for Lorenzo and, this time, it was huge! I couldn’t believe it myself when the doctor told me, but it happened! Lorenzo was sitting on the couch in the library and I curled up next to him while the kids played on the floor with the nanny.“Since there is no reason to give you a gift this time, I thought I would just tell you.” I felt so damn nervous! Why was I so nervous?!“Okay …” I could hear the frown in his voice and I laughed nervously.“Well, I don’t know how it happened so fast, but I’m pregnant!” Our baby girl was barely a couple of wee
The alpha king's slave Chapter 76 - Lesley finds love.
ON THE NIGHT OF LESLEY’S COMING OUT BALL, the two of us got ready together and when Lesley walked out from behind the dressing divider, I gasped. I had seen her dress at every fitting, but seeing it on her with her hair done and her make-up, she looked stunning.Lorenzo arrived and we went downstairs. When Lesley walked into the ballroom to be presented in front of us, the old queen looked so proud. It was a great moment for all of us. As if a circle had just been completed. I could feel the excitement in the room and all the single male eyes looked at Lesley as if she was the best dessert they could ever have!In the corner of the room, I couldn’t help but notice the guard she had been seeing before all of this, and I swore at myself for not thinking of making sure that he wouldn’t be there. But as I looked at Lesley laughing at something one of the males said to her, I knew it didn’t matter. The champagne was flowing and people were dancing and having fun.At the end of the night, i
The alpha king's slave Chapter 75 - Future plans ...
THE WAR DIDN’T LAST LONG if you could even call it that. The rogues attacked our borders a couple of times, but they never broke through. It was sad to think that it happened on the day of Rebecca’s birth, but thankfully, it all worked out.Peace reigned … Or so I thought. Things had just turned back to normal around the castle when Lesley walked into our room with red tear-stained eyes. I had to drag it out of her, but she finally told me that the guard had found his destined mate. My heart ached for the pain she so clearly felt. He might not have been her destined mate, but she clearly cared for him.“Lesley, why don’t you let us have a proper coming-out party for you?” Okay, so I sounded like the old queen, but I didn’t care. I wanted to see her happy. She had given so much and cared so much for me over the past couple of years that I felt she deserved to be happy. Lesley sighed and wiped the tears from her eyes. I couldn’t believe it when she actually agreed!Jumping for joy as so
The alpha king's slave Chapter 74 - Princess Rebecca.
LIAM’S FIRST BIRTHDAY was the best day of my life. Okay, well, one of the best. We had gotten him this far. We survived the first year, and more importantly, he survived the first year with us. If it wasn’t for the entire village of people helping, I would probably have done something to make it all go wrong.Two more ladies-in-waiting had been married by this time and it was incredible to see them with their destined mates. Leila was pregnant, but since they were lower-ranked wolves, her pregnancy would last a little longer than mine did.People came from all over the kingdom to celebrate with us. There were balloons and streamers and flowers everywhere. The food ranged from snacks for the children to all sorts of finger foods for the grown-ups and people were laughing. The entire lawn was covered with people who were all there to celebrate.Liam looked like a carbon copy of his father, but he had my eyes. He was a good little boy and I loved him more than life itself. My boys … But
The alpha king's slave Chapter 73 - Prince Liam.
I was a shifter dammit! Of course, my body would accommodate the birth of my son, but I was in so much pain that my brain seemed to short out and I couldn’t think straight. I understood why some women only had one child because this was just the worst pain I had ever gone through. Pushing and screaming and sweating like a pig! It wasn’t beautiful! It was the most horrifying moment of my entire life!“Okay, Your Majesty, one last big push.” The doctor sounded as though he was smiling, but I didn’t give a damn! I was tired, and every muscle in my body ached, not to mention what was going on down there! I begged Lorenzo to stop this madness. I couldn’t push anymore. Lorenzo climbed onto the bed behind me and I felt some relief as he whispered in my ear.“Just one more push baby and I promise it will all be over.” He sounded just as frustrated as I felt.“YOU’RE NOT THE ONE PUSHING!” I growled as another contraction hit and I had no alternative but to do as they asked. Falling back onto L
