The next morning I woke up feeling well rested and my body felt more replenished with energy. Sheila was also awake when I turned to look at her. She smiled at me, mouthing a greeting to me. Everyone of us was up and most of the girls in the room were now dressed while a few waited to use the bathroom. I waited behind with Sheila for them to be done before heading in. I quickly showered and exited for Sheila to do the same. The bathroom was actually big enough to fit three girls at once but I’m avoiding getting my mark exposed and I guess Sheila is still scared of the girls and wouldn’t want to be left alone with them. We got ready and followed Mira out into the kitchen.A tall girl stood with Nabir, handing out breakfasts to the slaves. We got ours and followed Mira back to slaves dining hall.“How are you adjusting to this sudden change?” Sheila asked by my side.“Not bad, I think we’ll have to get through today before I can judge” I shrugged and she nodded. “How are you adjusting
I lie there curled up in pain. I tried getting up but my ribs were hurting like hell. It hurts to move my body. I heard the door open and I panicked. Did they return to continue their assault? I closed my eyes trying to steady my breathing.“Jade?” I heard Sheila’s voice and I sighed in relief.I tried to answer her but my ribs were burning with pain. “Jade?” She called again and I managed to kick a stool, alerting her of my position and she rushed towards me immediately.“Goddess, what happened to you?” She gasped crouching down to get a good look at me.“Linda happened” I managed to squeak out and regretted it immediately.“Oh my god, Jade we need to get you to the healer’s quarter”I took in a long breath which also hurt before replying to her.“It’s late Sheila, I don’t think I can walk that far now”“But you need..” she started and I cut her off immediately.“Just help me back to our room. I just need some rest and I’ll be fine”“How can you say that, you can’t even stand on you
I woke up the following day from a nightmare. This was not the first time I had dreamt about the attack on my village and my parent's death. I wasn’t about to start this day sad so I got ready and went for breakfast with Sheila. Grey joined us again today. And I was starting to enjoy the extra company. We finished up and left for our duties. I was feeling very tired and I seemed to be the only one feeling this way. I guess that’s the Perks of being a wolf, they don’t get worn out so easily.I sucked it in and continued my day. I managed to finish up in time and I couldn’t be happier. I grabbed my lunch after that and headed back to the slaves quarters when I was done eating. I met Grey in the hallway while I was heading inside and he waved me over. “Jade, are you done for the day?” he asked, immediately catching up to me.“Yup, I’m just tired and I need some rest” I replied as we fell into step.“I’m actually headed to the stream a little down from here. You wanna come?” I didn’t k
Alpha Keanu’s POVA sigh left my lips and I turned to look outside my window. I didn’t get much sleep last night and it has been like that for days now. My wolf has been ecstatic about meeting his mate and has been pushing to meet her again. I waited all my life for a mate only to meet a human as one. It’s not a rare occasion but it doesn’t happen often either, especially not with an Alpha. I remembered meeting an alpha and his mate once with my father. She was rejected by her mate which caused her a serious illness and a sudden death after, from the breaking of the bond. Humans are far weaker than wolves and won’t survive being rejected. When a wolf is rejected, while most of us may survive it, it can only drive the others mad, Turning them into a raging rogue and in some cases, they choose death willingly. I don’t plan on accepting her as my mate but I can’t reject her. At least not yet. My wolf has been fussy but meeting her has calmed him a lot. I need him calm to get through thi
Being around Alpha Keanu always made me giddy. I noticed Grey bow but I couldn’t drag my eyes away from him.“How dare you look your Alpha in the eye. Show some respect silly human” the woman snarled at me snapping me out of my trance and I took a small step back and bowed. I involuntarily glanced at him quickly again to see his eyes was still glued to my hand that Gray was still holding. I snapped my hand out of his instantly.“Look at me” he barked and I stood straight looking up at him.His voice caused a shiver run down my back as anger danced in his eyes and I knew I’m toast.“Why on earth are you wandering around this night with a human dressed like this” he threw at Grey his with gaze still on me “I’m sorry Alpha we only went……”“Don’t you know how dangerous it is around here” he continued cutting Grey off. How does the way I look right now correlate with the dangers around here? We didn’t even go far.“We didn’t go outside the castle” I was forced to defend Grey. I don’t kno
The days seemed to be passing a lot slower ever since I met the Alpha king in his office. I have been unconsciously counting down the days until the full moon festival. I have wasted enough time in this pack and I need to get going. I don’t think I’ll miss much when I leave. I thought about my friendship with Sheila and Grey which has grown stronger with days and I know I’ll miss them a lot. We hung out more than ever before as these were my last days in this pack just as Sheila had said.The Alpha king doesn’t give a fuck about me and I know he’ll be more than happy to finally watch me leave his pack. I scoffed at the thought of it, So much for being my mate. I’ve only dated one person in my life and that was during my early teenage days. I don’t think it should even count as one. Landing in this pack and getting to know that the Alpha king was my soulmate was not something I had ever imagined in my whole life. I didn’t even know humans could be mated to wolves. It kind of breaks my
I didn’t know the Alpha King had a brother. I have never seen him around. I tried to stand but a sharp pain radiating throughout my back stopped me. My head was hurting and the three pairs of eyes looking at me made my stomach churn. I glanced to the side glaring at the cause of all this chaos, fucking Linda. My eyes darted to that of Aztec and I could see amusement twinkling in his eyes. Alpha Keanu was still glaring at me and I could have sworn that his nostrils flared in anger and smoke puffed out his ears.“This is not my fault” I defended my tone outright indignant.“You always manage to get on my last nerve” his voice was entwined with anger and he directed all of it at me.“I said.this.is.not.my.fault” I retorted through gritted teeth.“Then whose is it?” He pointed a look at me, the rage in his eyes increasing.“Hers” I snapped at him pointing at Linda. He didn’t even bother to look at her. Did he actually think I’d go around causing trouble, especially in a place swarming wi
I felt much better the next day, thanks to the medicine the healer gave me at the infirmary. The pain has reduced and my head no longer hurts. I stepped into the hallway striding slowly to go new Eliana. She had sent a girl to fetch me. I passed the big room at the center of the castle where all the floors were connected by a long flight of stairs. Linda was just coming firm the stairs with a bucket and broom in her hands. She looked so worn out and exhausted that I almost pitied her, almost. I continued, walking past the large room before she could notice me.Eliana was standing outside with a small flower vase in her hand.“Jade, how are you feeling today dear?” Her tone was soft as usual.“I’m much better Eliana, how are you?”“I’m good too” She nodded, her eyes returning to the vase she was holding as she studied it closely.“That’s pretty,” I said, studying the light brown flowery vase too. “You think? I thought it was at first too, but it doesn’t look that fine to me anymore” s
