The Alpha's Concubine

"My lady...!" one of the servants came rushing to Masha who was still on the ground. The man on the horse had ridden forward before climbing down. Extending a hand, the servant helped Masha from the ground and the moment she was on her feet, she turned to face the young man that had knocked her down. She had expected to find him equally staring at her and looking for a way to apologize, but surprisingly, he was heedlessly handing his horse to a guard that had come up beside him. Another surprising aspect for Masha was the fact that it did not bother him how he had disrupted the party and kept everyone on hold. It just did not seem to bother him at all. Who did he think he was? With the way the wolf guards had rushed over to take his horse, he seemed to be someone important. Was he one of the Alphas?When he had handed his big black horse to one of the guards, he finally turned to look at Masha. Masha wondered if it was just her, or there was actually nothing akin to remorse in his e

An audible gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd. Lips were parted open in astonishment. Breaths were suspended and eyes were dazzled. For a second, Masha was confused about her father's second daughter. She wondered if he had another child she must have forgotten about. Then, it dawned on her that she was his only daughter and was the one being referred to. Her heartbeat increased rapidly in her chest as she looked up at him, her lungs becoming difficult to breath. Even Kona seemed confused and looked at her. And it was obvious the shock was not meant for them alone as even the Alpha's family seemed shocked to the teeth. Surprise and befuddlement rushed through the crowd. It was the most shocking news to them as they've never had a Vampire getting married to a wolf. It would definitely be the first of it's kind. Even the rest of the Alphas turned to themselves and mustered their shock. Lord Galadriel could see the resentment trying to build up in the crowd. Thus, he had to a

Next Morning. Masha fiddled with her nails as she awaited the maidens to finish up with her face. Her heart beat rapidly in her chest, unable to express all the nervousness she felt.  Two servants were in the room with her, while Terra sat on the bed behind her. But at that moment, Terra's presence could only do little to placate her.  She was being primped up to meet with the prince and the mere thought of it was driving her nuts. For Absalom's sake, she never thought she'd ever have to feel so nervous about meeting with someone. How would she cope with the new life forced on her? What if she becomes too depressed and takes her own life? She clasped her palms together as she let herself drown in her own thoughts. Just then, she heard her door open and glancing from the mirror before her, she discovered it was her brother.  Her eyes dropped to her thighs as she fel

When Masha returned to the room, she met Terra who had been waiting the whole time. She had been sitting in front of the mirror but sprang to her feet when Masha walked in. "You're back..." "Father needs to reconsider his decision", Masha cut her off, yanking off her hair band and tossing it to the floor. Terra's face crumpled up, noticing how peeved her friend looked. It was apparent the meeting didn't go down well. "Calm down, Masha. What happened?" She drew closer and inquired. "What else? Prince Czar or whatever he's called is the most arrogant person I've ever had to deal with. You wouldn't believe the words he said to me. And to think father wants us to get married tomorrow", she huffed as she sat on the bed to take off her shoes. "Tomorrow??" Terra nearly yawped. "But that is...too close. You don't even know him yet". "Exactly!" Masha hit her thighs. "I really don't know what's wrong with father. His desperation... I'm beginning to think he has a different motif for

Masha walked into the dining with her mother, not knowing if she were to feel a little guilty for what transpired back there. Her mother had been a little blunt. But, that was Lady Jade for you - she was never a player of words.  In the big dining room, King Gregory, Lord Galadriel, Arabella and Kona were already seated and eating - cheerfully. Masha and her mother simply joined them. And almost immediately, Luna Eve and Sephora entered.  "The women are always late", King Gregory chaffed - but Arabella was the only one that chuckled.  "But I came in time, father. Isn't that right?" she beamed.  "You sure did, dear". Arabella glanced at Kona who was deeply concentrated on his meal. She had been trying so hard to make him notice her, but it wasn't working. She wondered if he actually knew she was there. Nevertheless, she wasn't ready to give up. &nb
