Veil Of Destiny 14: Merciless Dominance
Maria's POV I didn't stop running until I was at the gate, the guards there refused to grant me passage out of the palace so I sat down there, letting the tears run down my face. They didn't pay me any mind and continued about their job like I was not even there.When it was late, I saw Sophie approaching me with tears in her eyes. She had bruises all over her body and her eyes now held a resentment that had not been there before. "You are he...""Get up and follow me." She said coldly, not minding what I was telling her. I looked closely at her, unable to recognize the stranger in front of me. She was cold and detached, scaring me that something else had gone wrong."What is it? Did I do something wrong?" I asked her, moving close to her so the guards would not hear our conversation. Instead, Sophie took a few steps back and crossed her arms. I saw the hungry slashes of the whip and knew without a doubt what Aloha Felix had done to her. "I'm sorry," I whispered, hoping she would f

Maria's POV "Looks like you are ready to get the party started" Alpha Felix's unmistakable face was staring at me in the dark, his eyes glinting with an evil smile. "What do you want from me?" I said as I backed away trying to escape from the room but he had seen through my intention so he locked the door quickly before I could get to it. "Leaving so soon?" He asked me, his eyes boring a hole into my chest. "I can't do what you are asking of me. I can't!" I yelled back at him, but he didn't flinch. I saw two bodyguards emerging from the shadows and all my senses became alert. "You see, I always thought that you were wise but you have proven to me that you are just like the other women. You want me to put in the work, and go the extra mile to make you bow to my desires, which at the end of the day, it's even enjoyable for you. I would really hate to do this the hard way" he said and the fear threatened to cripple my legs as I thought of a possible way to escape."Give up already."

Maria Leaning against the wall of the factory where I worked, I tried to catch my breath but I knew I couldn't stop even for a second. If I got caught, my wage would be deducted and I couldn't afford that. I needed every single penny I could get my hands on. The deafening roar of machines filled the air as I assembled iron parts at lightning speed. The monotonous routine left my hands calloused and my back aching, the constant fear of accidents or losing a limb haunting me every moment. I glanced at my old, wristwatch that had so many cracks, I could barely see what was written on it anymore. And it was time to head over to my other job.I wrapped up everything quickly and walked towards my boss who was sitting on a chair and counting money. He looked up at me, took out a couple of dollar bills, and tossed them on the table without a word. He was always all about his money and business. I took it and darted out of the factory. The cold air immediately hit my skin and I sighed in reli

MariaIt wasn't a nightmare. I hoped and wished desperately that it was but it wasn't. I had been sold to an Alpha king in exchange for a couple of dollar bills which were undoubtedly going to get wasted on alcohol and drugs again. It was heart-wrenching that my mum would do that to me. Not only was I born into a life of hardship, deprived of love and care, but I also got sold by the person I called my mum. This was the lowest thing she could possibly do to me, downgraded to a mere object. I couldn't comprehend why she would do something like this. But it wasn't all that disappointing. I never expected much from her.It's been three months since I got dragged along to the Alpha King's castle. At first, I thought he fancied me that was why he bought me, I wondered why someone of his status, with so much power who had so many packs under him, would fancy someone like me. But after I found out he was my mate, I thought he did what he did because he wanted to be together with his mate bu

Maria In the dimly lit chamber, I sat on my bed, my eyes filled with sorrow as I gazed out the window. That seemed to be the only thing I did these days, gaze out of my window all day. My heart was heavy with the weight of loneliness, and I was lost in my thoughts, unaware of the world outside my room. Suddenly, I heard the door creak open snapping me out of my trance. Zoe walked in with a tray of food in her hands. Zoe was my handmaiden. She told me she was assigned to me the first day I was brought here. However, I never spoke to her because I had way too much on my mind but she was the only one in this castle who ever took her time to speak with me.And it wasn't just because it was her job. I never had any friends but I knew a kind person when I saw one, her warm brown eyes oozed with kindness and her long black hair shone brightly. But I didn't trust her completely yet. Looks can be deceiving. She placed the tray on the table and approached me smiling warmly."My lady, I brought

MariaI didn't know how I got to my room but I closed the door and slowly lowered myself to the edge of my bed, lost in a sea of sadness and confusion. My hands found their way to my stomach cradling the small, life yet to be born within me, a silent witness to the harsh words I had heard from him. The echoes of his cruel words reverberated in my mind, each word a constant torment like daggers piercing through me. He had told me, with a cruel, ruthless, and hardened heart that he intended to give our unborn child to another woman, someone he planned to make his Luna.He only considered me as a breeder, he made mention of it so many times that the word had become imprinted in my mind. He never had any intention of treating me as his equal half which meant making me his Luna. But I was his mate. The moon goddess mated us together and he was supposed to make me his Luna not another woman. Didn't he realize that? He only treated me as an object for producing heirs. But what I was currentl

Maria I am free! Finally free! I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, my heart pounding in my chest like a drum. I couldn't stop, wouldn't stop, not until I was sure I was safe. I can’t think about spending another moment with King Leo, the thought alone made my body shake in disgust. But my body betrayed me, my legs trembling beneath me like leaves in a storm. I stumbled, my vision blurring, and collapsed onto the cold, hard ground.I lay there without making an attempt to stand up, I was tired and I didn’t mind if I died now, just when I thought about that, I quickly held my stomach, knowing that if I died my child was going to die too and I don’t want that. I couldn't help but look back, my eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of pursuit. But there was none. I was alone, completely and utterly alone.My mind raced with thoughts of King Leo, his piercing eyes and chiseled features haunting me. I couldn't let him find me, couldn't let him know about the secret I carried within

Maria“I asked what is going on here” his thunderous voice shook us to the core. Suddenly, the guards stopped and bowed. I was confused, I didn’t know what to do so I stood still, watching the drama unfold before me."Alpha," the guards said in unison.Alpha? Alpha?He is the alpha? He was the one who just conquered the pack those slaves came from, fear engulfed me immediately and I quickly bowed my head. My heart raced as I could feel the alpha's gaze remained fixed on me. I refused to meet his eyes, so I kept on bowing."What's happening here?" the alpha asked, his voice deep and commanding. “Don’t make me repeat myself again!”"It’s all her fault. We caught her causing a commotion, Alpha," one of the guards said. "She refused to submit to our authority and kept on fighting with us.”"That's not true!" I protested, lifting my head to face the alpha. "I was just trying to find a way out of here. I don't belong in this place.""Silence!" the alpha growled, his eyes flashing with a

Veil Of Destiny 13: Finding Maria
Alpha Leo's POV"So where could she have gone? How hard is it for all of you not to be able to find one miserable girl?" I bellowed at the men who shrank back in fear, annoying me the most. "We have been trying Alpha. It seems as if she has just disappeared off the face of the earth." One of my men said and I punched him squarely in the nose. "Get out of here," I ordered and the men fell over themselves, trying to rush out of the room. Just as the men left, the door was thrown open again and Sophia came in. She looked very furious and I knew without a doubt that she had come here only to start a fight, which I was not in the mood for. "Why are you doing this?" She yelled at me, confirming my thoughts. "Doing what Sophia?" I asked, pretending not to know what she was talking about. "You know exactly what I am talking about, stop pretending not to know about it." She yelled at me and stomped to my front, her chest rising and falling. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, tryin
Veil Of Destiny 12: Lost to the world
Maria's POV "Maria, wake up!" I heard a harsh voice call my name. I nearly peed my pants, fearing that it was time and I was finally going to get punished for breaking Alpha Felix's nose. Sophie sat up in her bed, her face etched in concern for my safety but I knew I didn't have a choice, and not even the moon goddess could save me now. "Go," she whispered, "May the moon goddess be with you," Sophie said, shaking her head sadly at me. "He is definitely going to kill me," I said to her, my voice trembling in fear. "I really don't know. I am hoping that he doesn't." She whispered. "Maria! Are you deaf? I said wake up. The Alpha has requested for you. Since you have decided to test your combat skills, you will have to pay for the consequences of it now." The head maid yelled at me from the door. I didn't need any further prompting, not wanting to worsen my situation any worse than it already was. I jumped off the bed and ran around the room, picking my clothes and throwing m
Veil Of Destiny 11: Locked In, Locked Out
Maria's POVI couldn’t sleep. Every creak of the floorboards, every whisper of wind against the windows sent my heart racing. I expected Alpha Felix to burst through the door at any moment, his face twisted in rage, ready to end me. Or worse, send his guards to drag me back to his chambers. I had apologized for breaking his nose, not that he seemed inclined to listen. Even though he deserved it, part of me regretted the impulsive punch. It had felt good at the moment, but now, the consequences loomed over me like a dark storm cloud. “You need to calm down,” Sophie said softly from the corner of the cramped room we shared. She was folding laundry, her hands steady and precise despite the late hour. “If Alpha Felix wanted to kill you, he would’ve done it already. Probably before you even left the lakeside.” Her calmness irritated me, though I knew she meant well. “How can you be so sure?” I snapped, pacing back and forth. “He was furious. I saw it in his eyes. You needed to see th
Veil Of Destiny 10: The First Encounter
Alpha Felix’s POVThe room felt emptier without Maria. Her fiery defiance lingered in the air, taunting me. I paced back and forth, adrenaline coursing through me like wildfire. My chest heaved with frustration, desire still clawing at my insides. The way she looked at me before running out, those eyes filled with both fear and contempt only fueled my need to dominate her, to break her resistance. I couldn’t stand it. I needed relief, and if Maria wasn’t going to give it to me, I would find it elsewhere. Even the handmaiden brought to me that had satisfied me so many times in the past was not enough. I wanted more and I wanted it now.Storming out of my chambers, I headed to the servants’ quarters. The hallways were dimly lit, but I didn’t need light to navigate. I knew this place like the back of my hand. When I arrived, my gaze landed on Sophie. She was quiet, obedient, and wouldn’t dare resist me. “Sophie,” I barked. She looked up, startled, clutching a basket of freshly fold
Veil Of Destiny 9: Obsession
Maria's POV The light from the sun filtered through the thin curtains of the servants’ quarters, casting soft rays across the rough wooden walls. I sat on my cot, staring at the cleaning supplies by my feet. My hands trembled as I reached for the broom. I had spent the past two nights twisting and turning in my bed, haunted by Sophie’s warning and my last encounter with Alpha Felix."You'll see things you're not meant to see," she'd whispered. Her face had been pale, her voice barely above a breath. "And if you do, Maria, the penalty is death."The weight of her words hung over me like a shadow, following me through every chore, every glance down the dim hallways of the estate. I had avoided Alpha Felix for as long as I could, but his demand had been clear. There was no avoiding his chambers today. The head maid had made it clear to me last night that I was now officially in charge of cleaning the Alpha's chambers. It was a confirmation of what he had told me the day before when he
Veil Of Destiny 8: A Wave of Delusion
Maria’s POVSophie’s words echoed in my mind, a haunting refrain I couldn’t escape: “If you see what you’re not supposed to with Alpha Felix, the penalty is death.”It had been three days since her warning, and I had done everything in my power to avoid him. I ducked behind corners, lingered in the kitchens longer than necessary, and volunteered for the most menial tasks if it meant steering clear of his imposing figure. But on the third day, my fragile sanctuary shattered. To be honest, when I woke up that morning, I felt that the day my luck would wane had come. I dressed up faster than I should and sat around, waiting, almost like I knew what was to come next."Maria," the head maid called, her voice clipped and impatient. "Alpha Felix has requested you to clean his chambers. Go now. Don't waste any time and make sure you do whatever he asks of you." I froze, my heart pounding in my chest. "Me? Are you sure?" "Do I look like I’m in the mood for questions?" she snapped. I sw
Veil Of Destiny 7: Life Of Servitude
Maria I sat by the window, my eyes fixed on the world outside. I was trapped, with no escape from the pack that had taken me in. My life had taken a drastic turn, and I was now at the mercy of Alpha Felix. I couldn't believe how far I had fallen. A minute I was striving to send myself to college and the next I was battling to stay alive, if only the goddess hadn’t let my mother give birth to me, perhaps it might have been better. I sniffed, I didn’t want to cry, I had decided to remain strong, and crying wasn’t going to solve anything. So I sat there, lost in thought, allowing myself to wallow in pain, that was all I could do since I had no control over my life.I suddenly heard a knock at the door. My heart skipped a beat as it opened, and Alpha Felix stepped inside. His eyes were fixed on me, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. So I stood up immediately. "Hmm, You're blending in well," he said, his voice low and smooth. "I can see that you're trying to make the best of your si
