Alpha's Singer Song of Peace
“All the drinking water comes from this?” I wave at the massive pool of snow-cold water. He nods, as I skim over the line of maids that are crouched around the edge. They ladle bowls of water into buckets, which they hoist over their shoulders and lug towards the kitchen. I see thirsty pups come and go, grabbing a drink before leaving to continue their playtime. This isn’t going to cut it. “This might already be contaminated.” I whisper, swallowing. “Will you order for the water supply to be divided? Into five pools, maybe. It needs to be boiled down before it’s safe to drink.” “I’ll let the servants know before nightfall,” He says. “Anything else, Blaise?” He had taken me to the water pool at the break of dawn. Twilight descends by the time I finish telling him everything I know. To keep the sick quarantined, and for Healers to wear thick cloth over their faces and hands when caring for them. Lemon juice or lavender oil, to cleanse hands. I’d honestly expected the Alpha to g
Alpha's Singer Omegas Like You
Thank you, Blaise. The numbers have fallen. And it’s all because of you. I look down at the sleeping Alpha. And I don’t know this feeling churning inside both my mind and heart. I’d used to only think of my killed pups when I’d watched the Alpha sleep. But now something else comes first. And I don’t know what it is. All I know is that every single instincts are telling me to stay away from it. It screams danger, in the most camouflaged way possible. I quietly get up. Then I tuck my feet into the slippers by the bedside, just like I had done for the past three nights. I give the sleeping Alpha one last glance before silently closing the door behind me. There are packets of sugar in my pockets, for the milk. I’d snagged some from the kitchen, along with pieces of buttered bread that I’d wrapped in napkin squares. My steps soon hurry themselves as I get closer. I couldn’t wait to see Beau’s absolutely adorable face. I fling the door open, all ready with my gloves and mask on.
Alpha's Singer Ira's End
IRA I look down at Kavanah’s dress, laid out on my bed. It was so gorgeous. All the silken grooves, the details alive in each thread. It cost fortunes. Something an Omega like me would never wear. Something that I would only be allowed to touch, to tailor it for a higher-ranking wolf. It was fucking unfair. The cream-colored fabric would go so well with the rich auburn of my hair, more than that dead, pale-ash of Kavanah’s. It would fit my curves perfectly. Even the jewels on it, would make my skin glow brighter than the sun. I run my hands down the silk. My eyes glance towards the closed door to my room. I’d told the Head Maid that I’d be gone for a good hour to try and get this done for Lady Kavanah. Just for a minute. I sweep the beautiful dress off of the blankets. Then instantly, I start stripping out of my ragged, dusty maid clothes. The fabric feels soft and smooth against my skin, and I nearly moan out in pleasure as I step into the pool of creamy white. I quickly
Alpha's Singer Slipping Through Fingertips
“Beau, look. Say hi to Noel.” I point to Noel, who’s awkwardly shifting from foot to foot with a makeshift mask and gloves on his face and hands. I see the traces of his smile, with the way his amber eyes are crinkled into sweet crescents. Beau gives him a drowsy glance, before turning back to me again. “He’s a bit shy,” I laugh, as Noel’s face falls. “He’ll get used to you in no time.” But Beau’s silver eyes are unfocused again, even though he’d been asleep all day and had only been awake for only about an half hour. A corner of my heart aches, knowing that the violet continues to spread. He had made it this far, when half of the wolves who’d caught the Plague in the Packhouse had died already. And he was just a pup. Tears sting my eyes. “Sleepy, aren’t you?” I whisper, lying him back in his cot. “I know, I know. You must be exhausted after drinking all that milk, hm? I know you enjoyed it. Yes, yes, you did.” Noel’s brows furrow. He sees the same things that I do. The pu
Alpha's Singer Christian Shadow
I’m running down the corridors, in such a rush that I’m not even bothering to hush my echoing footsteps against the hall floor. Sweat beads on the side of my face. I’d never realized how truly far the Southern Nursery was from the Alpha’s chamber. I was late. So late. Time had flown while I was caring for Beau, with no clock in the nursery. I’d told myself that I’d just stay for a half hour to keep him company, but Beau’s condition was worsening. More than an hour had just slipped by like water while I was making sure he had everything that he needed for the night. Now it was way past dark out. Way past ten, which was when I was supposed to be in his chambers to sing him to sleep. I skid around the corner, screeching to a stop in front of the Alpha’s door. My hand is uncertain as I wrap it around the doorknob. The door is closed. Was he already asleep? I turn the knob so that it doesn’t make any noise. Then I softly push the door open, peeking inside the darkened room
Alpha's Singer Do Not Show Me Your Tears
KAVANAH Foolish bitch. The room glowers in a swath of dark amber as the flames in the fireplace lick hungrily over the silken fabric. The air is acrid, tinged with a scent of cloth burning. The dress is already half ash. And it had barely been a few seconds. My voice is ice. “Are you going to betray me the same way that she did?” My glacier-blue eyes turn towards the shaking maid, knelt by my diamond heels. She has her head shoved all the way down to the carpet, palms pressed against the floor. She’s trembling relentlessly, and a smile tinges the corners of my tinted lips. I bend down. “Why so scared?” I whisper sweetly, hearing her utter a sharp gasp as she quickly pushes down her head even deeper. Can’t even meet my gaze. Didn’t have a single backbone in her worthless body. But those without backbones were so much easier to control. And I’d learned my lesson after that auburn-haired menace. The edges of my teeth grind together in fury when I think back to the way she h
Alpha's Singer Violet Eyes, Shades
NOEL I watch Blaise from a distance. Ever since Beau’s death a day ago, she hadn’t been herself. My fingers tighten around the windowsill as I watch her pluck down a withered daisy until all the petals lay abandoned on the grass. She mindlessly plucks another, adding the bare stem to the pile next to her. Her eyes are blank and unfocused. Worry lines my features as I see her scarlet eyes, plump and swollen from crying. Would she like it if I brought something sweet to her? Maybe I could snag a piece of cake from the kitchen. Deciding to do just that, I shift myself away from the window. I rub the base of my thumb against my temple, wincing. Then I’d go rest. I’d slept for twelve hours last night, but when I’d woken this morning, I felt like I hadn’t slept a single wink. Exhaustion weighs down on my body, but I just dismiss it as fatigue. It was just something I’d have to get fixed by tomorrow. Today was my only day off from servant work. And I’m about to turn the corner an
Alpha's Singer Rouge Pack
BLAISE “Noel!” It’s my fault. It feels as if my own breaths are being twisted away from my throat. The door swings shut limply behind me, clicking weakly into place. My gaze wavers violently as it slowly settles on a pair of unblinking amber eyes. No. Not him. Why? He hadn’t even… Noel gives me a soft smile. He taps his lips, in a gentle reminder. “Mask, Blaise.” It feels as if the world is crumbling down in front of my eyes. With trembling hands, I grip one of the masks and pull it over my mouth. I’m about to rush over to his bedside when he shakes his head. He whispers silently. Don’t. He tells me not to come closer, with bloodshot eyes and his face streaked with the harsh, dark colors of violet. But how can I not. How can I not? When I can see the way his own hands tremble underneath his gloves. I ignore his warning. His eyes widen as I easily push past the several empty beds separating me from him. Tears sting the corners of my eyes as I watch him flinch, wh
