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
“Turn around” that same voice commanded. Slowly, we turned around, my heart still beating frantically. I could hear a sob break from Sheila. She trusted me and I fucked up. I landed her in trouble.“I’m so sorry Sheila” I whispered to myself. We turned to see a guard standing in an awkward posture, pointing at us. He blinked rapidly, trying to focus his eyes on us.“What’s going on?” Sheila whispered and sniffed, eyeing the guard. The guard tried to take a step and stumbled, his body connecting with the ground. We stood still waiting for him to stand up or move but nothing happened. We slowly moved to him, checking his pulse, and noticed he still had one. The rise and fall of his chest showed he was still breathing.“Thank god” I breathed a sigh of relief.“Jade, what is going on?” Sheila questioned still in panic.“Help me. Let’s drag him out of here to the side” I called instead. Ignoring her question. She took his legs and I, his hands and we dragged his body to the wall holding th
My breath was coming in shallow and short. I unsuccessfully tried to swallow the lump in my throat just as the Alpha appeared with Nabir and Noir by his sides. My heart raced just thinking about everything that was happening. I know I’m in deep shit. I stared at Alpha Keanu's face as others bowed. His jaw tightened and his noose flared when our eyes met.I tensed under his blazing eyes, my tongue darting out to lick my suddenly dry lips.“Jade?” Noir called in surprise.“Now, someone answer me, what the fuck is happening here? He questioned. his voice eerily calm.“She was trying to escape,” Linda spoke up first. I hoped he sees through this bullshit. It should be obvious that Linda was retaliating for being punished severely. But judging from the evident rage on his face. I could tell I was doomed. His face matched that of Nabir.“And how did you know so?” His voice was still calm, the exact opposite of the emotion on his face.“I…I woke up to use the bathroom and I found her bed em
