I was perplexed. This can't be happening right now.
" What..t do you...u mean by that...Alpha?" I just couldn't help but ask.Alpha Ronald laughed at my shocked face. He dragged me closer, fanning his breath on my face. He caged my whole body, leaving just a small space for me to breathe.For a typical girl, he'll be called attractive with his looks but right now, I only see him as a pervert that will do anything to force himself on helpless ladies. Sometimes, I wonder if he'll ever find his mate because no woman would want to be with a man like him. He makes me want to puke.I held my breath not wanting to take in his alcohol smell. I'm very sure he just had a drink " You'll be my spy. I want you to always report whatever you find strange to me when you get there " he repeats.I looked at him as if he was crazy. How was I going to do that?As if reading my mind, he smiled " Don't worry, I'll tell you how to do it. I have an insider around the palace, all you need to do is to find him when you get there and tell him what you see inside since he has no right to step into the palace, he would do the necessary"" But Alpha, it'll be hard because from what I heard. They said the king alpha knows whatever is going on as he has large hearing ears. A gift from the Goddess" I tried disputing.He nodded in agreement " True, but with the charm I have with me from the witch, nothing will happen. Just do as I say and that's all"I nodded reluctantly" What if I don't do as you say, what will you do you me?"I wonder where the courage came from. No one dares to question the Alpha.Alpha Ronald stood tall and went back to sit on his chair. He smirked " Ethan..."I furrowed my brows confused at why he looks smug. That name he called though, why did he call that name? I couldn't help the thought.He picked up a pen" Well, I'm sure that name sounds familiar right?"I was quite waiting for him to continue." If you don't follow my orders, your brother Ethan will be held responsible. I'm sure you don't want that to happen right?"My body felt rigid" How...how did you know him?"He chuckled, pleased to have the upper hand " I keep track of all my slaves. It doesn't end there, I'm sure you know your father is sick and it wouldn't hurt to save his life by just ending his life with the snap of a finger "I gasped " No!..no please don't kill my father. Please I want to see him. Please Alpha, don't do anything to my family. I beg of you" I went on my knees pleading for mercy." Well, it all depends on your love. Either you do as I say or you put your family in danger," He said to me with so much authority that scares me. His eyes turned from their blue color to red.I was shaking in fear " I will do it. I'll be your spy but please don't hurt my family "He cocked his head on one side " Good then. You may rise and don't look stupid "I need not be told twice, I did as I was told. I wiped my now tears stained face with the back of my hands. I never knew my father was sick and it hurts to find out this way. I'm sure he is suffering right now for not seeing me for all these years. God, I miss them so much.I took a deep breath " What will I get if I do as you say?" I craved to know what I can benefit from this.He raised a brow as if stunned I asked " I knew you were sharp and that's why I chose you to be my spy. I know you'll do great. Talking about what you'll get.." He rubbed his head as if he was thinking about it " I promise you your freedom, something you've been craving for all this while " He told me I knew I shouldn't believe him but I'm holding onto that because he is my passport to finally see my parent right now." One more thing"I glanced at him ready to embrace whatever he was about to say." This should be between you and me. If I find out that you betrayed me, I'll make sure I kill your entire household with my bare hands. Take this necklace." He hands over the necklace to me and I took it with shaky hands. " Put it around your neck once you get to the palace. It'll be hard for the Alpha to find out your intentions there and what's more, very hard to know your smell. This will help you achieve your aim"I nodded" Ok"A knock interrupted us." Come in "Steven came in looking breathless. I was also alarmed too." What is it, Steven?"" They are here"Alpha Ronald need not ask who as he already knows exactly what Steven meant. He gave me a hard look as if reminding me of what will happen if I don't do as he says.I nodded with a lowered head." Let's go"*****We got outside and truthful, they were here looking murderous, sending a chill down my spine. They look heartless already making the rumor looks true."Alpha" I called outAlpha Ronald gritted his teeth, seeing how they came inside without asking for permission. This was an insult to him. Mere guards for goodness sake, not even the King Alpha." Not now Melissa. Go join the rest" I kept mute and went into the crowd in search of Ashley.She looked at me in worried" what about you? I hope the Alpha didn't punish you again?"I was sure she was going to be happy when she finds out that we are going to the North together. This time around I'll be free from her shenanigans." Not at all Ashley"She looks at me in disbelief " So you don't want to tell me anything again? I thought we share secrets""It's nothing Ashley. The only thing I was told when I got to his office was, I'll be going with you guys"She looks confused at first " How? How comes he changed his mind "I shrugged " Who cares. Anyways, isn't that what you wanted"" Yes but....." She paused when she realized what she said: " Why are you making it sound as if I was jealous?"" Please don't start with this drama of yours, I was only saying "She rolled her eyes." Welcome to the pack but I must say, you lack no respect for my kingdom at all. Y'all didn't have to trespass, all you should have done i
Ashley went into a daze as if reminiscing the moment it happened. She sighed then look up at me " My boyfriend sold me "...I was almost shocked at my saliva " What?"She waved it off as if it doesn't bother her " What's done is done. He invited me to his home for the first time and like the stupid girlfriend I was, I was so excited that I'll finally know where he leaves. He cooked for me and everything went smoothly not until I woke up the next day only to see myself in a different place where I was told that I was sold by him"" This iShe snorted " The worst is I pity any girl that will fall into his trap again. I'm sure I'm not the first and also not the last"I held her hand, proud to see how well she took everything. I never knew she was this strong " I'm sorry you went through this"Ashley chuckled " why are you saying it as if I was the only one that got kidnapped. Don't forget we both got kidnapped" Ashley pointed outI giggled " You
" We have 10 rooms available and if I'm not mistaken, I was told you all are 20 in numbers. This means two people per room. Let me make it easier for you then. You can choose your partner yourself so all I'm going to do is to pick ten people and I'll hand over a key each to this ten people selected. The key will have your room number, all you need to do is pick a partner and that's all."" We are roommates" Ashley whispered and I nodded" Let's wait and see who she'll give the keys to first before we can decide to be roommates. If one of us is lucky enough to receive one, then lucky us"She nodded in agreement" You're right "Granny Joanne moved forward to start handling the keys. She started from her left down to her right. She was finally standing in front of Ashley thinking she'll give Ashley a key, she didn't. She made a stop in front of me and I felt my breath stop. She gives me this kind of vibe that I don't understand.One thing I'm sure about is, I'm
"Why though?" asked granny Joanne as if reading my mind." This is so sudden. That pack has never participated in anything organized in our pack. Then suddenly their alpha came to plead with King Alpha to give them a chance. Why though? There must be a motive" the lady whispered and my heart made a thud sound.I was gasping for air, this isn't how I pictured my first day here. I can't believe we are being suspected.I was about to leave when her next question made me freeze."what is it about that girl, the one with the necklace? I saw how interested you were with the necklace "Granny Joanne cleared her throat " it's nothing really"" please tell me granny" the lady pleaded.There was a pause " Something is off about the necklace. I don't know what exactly and the worst is I couldn't get a sniff of her scent and the Alpha won't be too happy about that. You know how he always wants me to give him feedbacks about things like this most especial
" You shouldn't have done that"Ashley cried out " That was so rude of you"...I kept walking not listening to what she was saying. We were already given our uniforms and it is good to say it's nothing like the one given to us at the west pack. Everything about this place is just different, unlike all the rumors. What was remaining now is to see the King himself?He was still on a journey and is yet to be pack and it's kind of weird to say I just can't wait to finally meet him." I'm talking to you Melissa"Ashley brought me out of my thought" what is it again?"" I was talking to you and you went mute. You're becoming annoying " She glared at meI couldn't help but burst into fits of laughter " I think I should be the one saying that and not you. You, my friend, are beginning to avoid me and worst on our second day here and I understand. It's fine actually "" Don't try to emotionally trick me. I'm not avoiding you""Then why
We didn't realize the alpha was already on the chair ready to make his speech. Lena and I were too consumed by our conversation." let's listen," I told Lena and she nodded in agreement.This time around, I made sure I pushed the lady in front of me a little so that I can get a glimpse of the king." I am the king Alpha, the one you've all been waiting for " his voice sounds smooth and I can feel my wolf drooling.'He has a nice voice, Melissa' my wolf Lisa saidI rolled my eyes not wanting to get affected by that. Truth be told I felt it too, I felt some kind of pull but I don't understand. Maybe it's just me thinking too much.Since he was far from us, it was hard to see how he looks. I bet he is some ugly jerk that doesn't keep to his pants.'What if you're wrong?' My wolf questioned' Stop interrupting my thoughts, Lisa!' I snapped.Lisa pouted ' but why are you mean to me? I was only stating the fact'I mentally roll
We trailed behind the harsh woman as Lena and I prefers to call her. Lena held my hand in such a way that she believes if she release it I'd run away. I contained the pain because I was nervous too." I just hope this isn't the end of us" she whispered into my ears. I would have laughed if we weren't close to the harsh lady." Nothing like that will happen, Lena. Think positive always"She pouted " I'm trying but different scenario keeps swirling in my head and you know I find it hard to stop them "I rolled my eyes" ask your wolf for help "She gave me a look " you know she won't help with all the mate issues we have"I let out a sigh fastening our paste as the lady opened a big wooden door for us to enter. We all rushed in not ready for her shenanigans. I said a little prayer to the moon goddess to come to my rescue.The room was big like that of a museum. A bigger museum that has different shapes of ancient skulls and skeletons designed on the w
Melissa's povI can't believe how big this place was and here I thought it's something we can do and be done with on time but it's taking forever. I wiped the sweat on my forehead tirelessly." This is taking forever," I said to myself and sighed. I sat on the floor resting my back on the door. My hand went to my neck playing with the necklace. Then it clicked, I still have the necklace given to me by Alpha Ronald. I vividly remember him telling me to put it on only when I'm about to carry out my actions. I pulled it off and put it in my pocket.The others were also resting. A few moments later we were done so we all sauntered out of the room with our brooms and mops in hand. I turned around to give a last look at the Craving room as the people of the pack here call it.One day, I'll see what is behind the door. With that thought in mind, I walked out locking the door behind me as I was the last to go out.The harsh lady was already waiting for us. She
