Joash"Did she know? Did she know about my identity?" I asked myself as I walked back into my office. Memories of the night when Pete found me popped up in my head.Her involvement marked the end of my father's hunt. Many years ago when I was on the run from my father, he found me and I had been hiding in the woods for a few days, surrounded by my father and his men. I was trapped down like a rat in its hole and there was no escape for me.I was on the edge and overly sensitive. I had thought that he was going to get me since there was no escape, but one night, I suddenly heard a rattling behind me. Despite my alertness, I didn't notice the movements until the intruder was close by.I turned around swiftly, grabbed the intruder by the neck and pinned him to the ground with my dagger ready to strike."Brother!" The intruder screamed. Eyes bulging out of their sockets. They look familiar but I didn't care. When the intruder saw my murderous intent, she shook off the hoodie covering her

JoashIt's been a few days now. Vera was beginning to move her fingers but there hasn't been much improvement. Pete has spoken with Jenny but she hasn't come around. Derrick hasn't returned from his mission. I felt miserable and it sucks. I had to go see Jenny and I decided to go today.As usual, Pete dressed me up for the occasion. This time, she dressed me up differently, making me look irresistible. There was an unusual addendum to my outfit and I liked it. It was a regal sash with a silver background beautified with deep shades of blue that accentuated the light blue colour of my regalia. It was draped across my shoulders. The length ran down my chest with the tip almost touching the jewelled belt clenching my waist. It wasn't even my wedding day. I smiled, thinking about Pete's cunniness in bringing me back with Jenny.We set out very early and when it was almost noon I got to Jenny's Pack. She was the daughter of the pack's Beta. From afar, the Alpha had confirmed my directio

JoashWhen I came around, I was in a dimly lit room. Yeah, it was one of my secret rooms and I was glad that the physician got my message. He was sitting beside my bed with just one of his maids. My bag of buffer was on one of the sofas and standing beside it was Derrick.Derrick? What the heck is he doing here?"I deserve to die, your Highness!" The physician fidgeted and fell on his knees as soon as he saw my eyes open. He just rescued my life, why is he saying that he deserved to die?"I mind-linked Beta Derrick to come around…I felt you would prefer his presence since…""Good…" I said weakly and tried to sit up."Not yet your Highness, you need to heal from the insides," he advised but I waved him aside while Derrick helped me up."What the heck happened to me?" I asked, resting my body weakly on the wall. I felt numb and my body was wrecked in pain. Groaning slightly, I position myself to get enough comfort."I am afraid, Your Highness… it was a special type of poison… thanks to

Vera"This isn't even an appreciable improvement," Fred mocked Killan as he examined me, checking my reflexes."Vera Clams, can you hear me? Fred asked but I remained rigid and didn't move. Although I still couldn't move or speak, I could hear. I didn't react in any way, the extent of my improvement was my little secret."You know what? I am gonna have to spank you when all this is over! You are such a pain in the ass… I've always said it," Fred said amusingly and shone a touch in my eyes. That was the most difficult part. I couldn't hold the urge to blink. I blinked in response and Killan, who had been studying me keenly beside Fred yelled."Did you see it? That was what I saw!" He exclaimed but Fred scoffed. "Common, that was just a reflex, she can't move and she can't even see us yet… Stop exaggerating it.""Anyways, we are progressing… I am glad that she is improving, I had thought we had lost her," Fred said."Alpha Joash will be glad to hear about this… I think I am free tonight

Joash"You look radiant this morning," Pete said as she dressed me up."Really?" I asked."Yes! Don't tell me that you have gotten over Jenny…""Not so soon. But I can't continue to wallow in despair. I have to lead my people," I responded."Perhaps… you are happy because Vera is improving," she said and I caught her hands.Yeah, partially. Pete, you need to trust me. Vera means nothing to me. But unlike any other maid, I need her. I am going to use her and take advantage of her. I need her by my side ... I feel safe any time she is around me. I know why you detest her. She is a traitor, she is vile and evil, Yes! I detest her too. But I can't overlook how secure it feels any time she is around me. You know how we have lived, Pete, just this …""My Alpha! You just struck my heart. How can you say such things? Those who reference you, those who put their trust in you… they must not hear you say this! How can you say such a spineless girl makes you feel safe? You are a god, My Alpha, Ver
