The Alpha's Slave のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

We were also required to make a vow to the crown never to shapeshift to confuse. That had been many years ago and at a time when the Alpha was still fresh from mourning his beloved Luna. It had been unbelieving then that the Alpha could extend an olive branch to us while in grief. When I received the letter requesting the Alpha's help, I heeded the call without any reluctance. It was very likely that I lose my life on this errand but if not for the king I would have been burnt to death many years back or lived as a fugitive like the shapeshifters that had escaped to the South and were now being exploited to commit crimes. As I strutted the narrow corridor I heard someone call my name. I froze thinking that I had been caught already. “Tom?” the tone of the voice however did not suggest any malice or I'll intent, it was almost friendly. “Tom?” I turned around slowly and there she was; a lady who had given me hell many times in the past, the beautiful lady Audrey. I almost scoffed a

Eunice POV “Hello friend?” the voice startled me and I almost broke the cup in my hand. Nonetheless, it was a pleasant surprise to see Agnes. “Agnes! You look good. I see you took my advice, no?” I said in response to her greeting. “Your advice?” she quipped and I looked back at her confused. It was then I noticed that something felt off about Agnes. She was the same; same hair, same eyes, same nose but she was different. Agnes never had that arrogant look in her eye but perhaps that came with being the king's woman. It was not official. It probably would never be because the werewolves hated to admit that they sometimes listed after humans whom they considered beneath them. Cyrus was different though. Since I had started working at the palace he had bedded a couple of humans but they were all princesses from distant lands and the relationships never lasted more than a fortnight. Agnes was different. She had lasted more than two weeks in the Alpha's bed but she was not recognised

Cyrus' POV “Your Majesty, we only do what is required of us, we are…” but he did not get to finish his sentence before he collapsed to the ground clutching his chest. I had expected that I would not get any valuable testimony from the shapeshifters but I had not expected to have so many of them here. They had to be at least a quarter of my entire officials and they were not from Ghysem. They had been recruited by someone from the South pack. “Theo, what do you say we do? huh?” I asked my right hand although my eyes were on Larog. I had to credit him for his good acting skills. He did not even seem unfazed by what was happening. “Burn them and I suggest we start rooting shapeshifters not registered in the palace. It might be that we are breeding traitors,” came Theo's response. “What do you suggest Larog?” “I agree with Theo. There may be more shapeshifters than we think.” “But it would not solve anything. We'll root them out only for them to be replaced. We need to find out who

Cyrus' POV “They tell me you have found a heart for me. I thought we had run out of prisoners who were matches for me?” Lady Asher was a unique woman. She was best friends with my grandmother when she had been alive and the two were such a unique peer that they were suspected to have a relationship beyond friendship. They managed to shock everyone by marrying twins, identical ones. “Well, grandmother what can I say? Your current heart no longer loves me I think that I may as well give you another that can,” I replied her jocally and we both laughed. “Your Majesty, the news about… Lady Asher,” Theo tipped his head in her direction when he saw her. She huffed and looked away. I gave Theo a nod and he left us alone again. “Theo has proven he is family, why won't you accept him?” I questioned her. Lady Asher was as traditional as one could get. She had not liked me playing with the son of the head maid when I was a boy. Where my parents had cared little for the company I kept, she ha

Adrianna’s POV “Theo?” When I opened my eyes I saw Theo seated by my side. “You're awake. I will let the Alpha know,” he was about to stand up when I held his hand to stop him. “What happened and where am I?” I asked confused. The last thing I remember was me becoming unconscious at the market. What was he doing here now? How had he found me and what did he mean by the Alpha? “You were stabbed; I happened to be there just in time to…” “What were you doing there?” I quizzed. “It's… I'm just glad nothing happened to you. Do you know who hurt you?” he asked me. “What?” the question startled me a little bit. “Adrianna?” “No… no, I have no idea,” I returned shaking my head to emphasize my no. I had to be mute about this. Saying anything could put my sister in trouble. Then it occurred to me. I had been stabbed by someone that had been sent by my sister. Did that mean my sister had meant for me to be killed? *+*+*+*+*+ Audrey's POV “How did it go? Did she accept the offer?” I h
