Marked by the Alpha King 27. The Missing Broach
Baka’s breath caught in her throat as she stared in utter disbelief at the broach. Surely, she was imagining it. She blinked twice, fully expecting the broach to disappear. But it was still there. “Whose bed does this belong to?” the Alpha king asked, making them turn around to face him.Aja and Emily looked at her with pity and lowered their heads. Did they truly believe she was the thief?Moments passed and no one said anything.“The Alpha king asked a question,” Takoda interjected with a deadly tone. Still, no one spoke. They all kept their heads lowered. Baka’s heart pounded so rapidly within her chest she thought she would explode. The girls were visibly shaking next to her, and she could hear Emily silently murmur what sounded like a prayer.“Very well, then,” Takoda continued with a cynical smile. “If no one speaks by the time I count to three, you will all die. One… two—”“It's mine, my lord,” Baka blurted out.“I knew it!” Mother Tina exclaimed, her bony arms lifted up in
Marked by the Alpha King 28. The True Broach Thief
Tatum was still shocked at his recent discovery. He had known Mother Tina could be manipulative and a little over the top. But this was diabolical. This was another level of darkness. Having an innocent slave killed because of a perverse feeling of jealousy and entitlement?He realized then and there that he truly did not know his mother-in-law like he thought he did. He never would've thought her capable of this. He could now understand where Tania had gotten her character trait from. But how could such a woman be the mother of his loving late mate, Tia? They were nothing alike.Tatum had to hand it to her. She had played her part well and managed to fool him up until this point. This was how far she was willing to go to get her way. It was truly an eye-opener for him.Now the problem remained what was to be done. He couldn't very well accuse her of stealing her own broach and framing a slave for it. She would just deny it and no one would believe it. He didn't want his household d
Marked by the Alpha King 29. The Dress
The car was old, that was the first thing Baka noticed. It looked as though it hadn’t been used in decades. She wondered if the Alpha king had another vehicle because she was certain this one would prove to be an issue along the way.Not that she knew much about cars. Her brother had been the knowledgeable one. If he were here, he would've been talking non-stop about the model of the car, when it was created, who had created it, and other boring details she couldn't care less about.“She’s not a beauty, is she?” the Alpha king commented from behind her and she stiffened. She hadn't realized he had been standing there. Her breath caught in her throat and she almost took another step further away from him. “It hasn’t been used in over seven years, I think,” he continued, seemingly oblivious to her discomfort. After the whole debacle with the broach yesterday, he had returned a little past midnight. She had pretended to be asleep then.He had his own key and had walked into the room ve
Marked by the Alpha King 30. The Inn
Baka was feeling a little elated to be leaving Khandom City. She hadn’t been outside the city walls since her capture a little over three years ago. It felt good to be out of that chokehold. Everything seemed different and familiar at the same time.The streets looked the same, but no one walked them. It was dry as the desert. Before the werewolves first attack, people could be seen bustling around the streets and you could barely make your way from one street to another without touching someone.The ambiance had changed since they were conquered. The werewolves didn’t know how to live life like humans did. Baka often wondered if they had come out of nowhere or if they had been living among them, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.It was most likely the former. They behaved so strangely it was obvious that they hadn’t learnt human ways or customs.And their customs were really strange—too strange to have been from this world. They had attacked them five times before comple
Marked by the Alpha King 31. The Four Men
The room had only one bed. There wasn’t even a couch in sight. Baka lamented as she stood awkwardly by the door while Blessing gave them a little tour around the small room.“And the bathroom is right there,” she said, pointing to a shabby brown door just across from them. “The water can be brown sometimes so you have to let it run when you open the faucet. It should be clear after a minute or two. “Also, the toilet flush doesn’t work. You will have to fetch water in a bucket and pour it into the toilet bowl instead.”The Alpha king nodded. “Thank you. Anything else?”She looked at Baka, then returned her gaze to the Alpha King. “No, that’s it. Enjoy your stay here.”“We will, thank you.”With a small nod and another curious glance at Baka, Blessing left them alone.“Looks like we’re sharing a bed,” the Alpha king announced, a little while after Blessing was out of earshot.Baka swallowed. Her nerves were doing somersaults in her veins. Surely she wasn’t going to share a bed with the
Marked by the Alpha King 32. The Shift
The men eyed each other and then looked at Tatum with curiosity. They noted his casual clothes and clean look. He had taken off the ring that had his sigle. Nothing on him screamed royalty.What they saw was an ordinary man in ordinary clothes.“Is she yours?” one of them asked. “Sorry, we were just having a bit of fun.”But he made no move to remove his hands from her. “How much to take her for the night?” He looked at Blessing with open lust and she visibly cringed. “I'll pay handsomely.”“I said take your hands off her,” Tatum repeated dangerously.The man held Blessing in place and leaned forward. “Don't you want to make some good money? My boys and I will each have our turn and pay you very, very handsomely. How does two thousand dalsis sound? Mm? You'll be as rich as a king.”Tatum took a single step forward. “She’s not for sale. Now. Let. Her. Go.”“Or what?” his companion asked testily. His eyes glowed yellow as he flashed his protruding fangs. “You’ll make us? There’s four of
Marked by the Alpha King 33. The Alpha’s Wolf
Several minutes had passed and Baka hadn't left her seat. She couldn't muster up the courage to walk over to the Alpha King. She could barely stand him in his human form, how was she to contend with his wolf? Coax him, Blessing had said. Say sweet things to him, she had said. Baka had nothing sweet to say to him. Nor could she think of ways to help him remember himself. She was way out of her league here.With great consternation, she got up from her chair and walked extremely slowly towards his wolf.It was sitting on his hind and fore legs, looking straight at her. Blood pooled around it, dripping slowly from a wound in its stomach. It was a giant of a wolf and every instinct in Baka told her to turn around and head for the hills. But she pressed forward.It growled when he noticed her move towards it and she stopped walking instantly, standing very stiffly. She should run. She absolutely should just head for the hills.But after what felt like five minutes, she took one step fo
Marked by the Alpha King 34. The Apology
Three hours later, Tatum felt his wolf's hold against him weakening. His mind was a haze as he tried to remember what had happened and why he was in his wolf form.Did his headache return? Had he blacked out again?Baka’s scent filled his nostrils and he froze. Oh, God. Panic rushed through him as he wondered if he had hurt her in any way. No, please no. He wouldn't—couldn’t.Her steady breathing put his mind at ease and like clockwork, he was flooded with the events of three to four hours ago. His head was on her lap, warm and inviting. Her heart beat was steady and he knew she was asleep. Truly asleep this time. Gently, he urged his wolf to rise up and he strutted towards the bathroom.The sound of bones rearranging came next. He winced, it would no doubt wake her.Sure enough, when he had shifted into his human form and walked out of the bathroom, she was staring at him sleepily.She scrambled to her feet and lowered her head. “My lord.”Her voice trembled with a note of…was that
