Spoken Hatred
Lyall was sincerely scared. She didn't want to implicate the poor lady, but unfortunately, she had no choice.
She retained a bowed head and couldn't spare a glance at the prince to see his reaction. Perhaps, his face had gotten swollen with rage already. But Mace had the opportunity to look, and the expression on the prince's face was... unreadable.
"Are you... sure about this?" Czar asked. His voice was still as calm and cold.
"Y...Yes, my prince. I would never lie to you".
Then, a few seconds passed.
"You can rise, Lyall. Go back to the kitchen and get me a plate of it", he ordered, making Lyall think she was losing her senses.
Did she just hear him correctly? To go back and get him a plate? What was going on?
Amidst her confusion, she knew she couldn't keep him waiting. Hence, she stood up, bowed and left.

The Alpha's Concubine Tradition
"It's a good thing you are here, Czar. We have a problem", the king said.Czar's curiousity quelled. What other problem could there be? He said nothing, but his perplexed eyes indicated he was interested."It's the witch - Hagar. She's withdrawing all her support to us".Czar's expression did not change. It made the king wonder if he had been expecting the news."I knew this was going to happen", the queen blabbed. "I knew Hagar was going to do this the minute she hears of Czar's marriage. I tried to tell you...""Enough, Eve! This is no time for accusations. I did what was best for the pack", The king cut her off, angrily.It made the queen roll her eyes and look away."What do you think, Czar?" The king turned to the prince. "This is not good.

The Alpha's Concubine An Unusual Visit
Masha drew a deep breath as she leaned back on her chair."If you truly do not want my kind here, maybe you should tell the Alpha King about it. Although, a lot of high people had tried talking him out of it, so i doubt he'd listen to someone lower. You know, I am his son's wife".The lady's eyes glinted, and whispers started going round in the room."She is the vampire that is married to the Alpha prince?""No wonder she was with Arabella"."It's her..."The whispers kept going round, and in the end, every single person in the room was aware of the situation."Being married to the Alpha prince does not make you anyone. Last I heard, he was actually forced into marrying you", the lady bent over to Masha and said."And I believe that should make you jealous. I mean", Masha paused and scoffed. "I
The Alpha's Concubine The Rondel Dagger
Masha walked into the chamber and was happy as usual, not to find Czar in. She had just returned from the kitchen where she had a good meal with Lyall. Masha found it amusing how Czar was hardly in the room whenever she was in. Had he always been like that, or he was just doing it on purpose to ignore her?It was pretty late and getting a good night sleep was the only thing on her mind. However, she was about lying on the bed when the picture on the wall gripped her attention.She walked over and stood in front of it, staring with admiration. Then, she pulled it from the wall and held dearly in her hands. No doubt, the lady was extremely beautiful. Perhaps, her gorgeousness made Czar fall dangerously for her, to the extent he couldn't let go. How close were they to create such bond?Although, the lady was very beautiful, Masha still didn't found it funny that she had to share her matrimonial room with her pic
The Alpha's Concubine The Witch, Hagar
Masha's tears did not stop as she ran out of the room, her hand still holding her cheek. She still could not believe the Alpha prince had slapped her; her so-called husband. How could he? All because she talked back at him?For a long time, she was frustrated and didn't know where to go. So, she stood at the balcony, still crying and hiding her face from the few servants that walked pass. After a while, she deemed it necessary to get a room to sleep. But there was no way she was going back there to Czar. And she couldn't go to the king either to request for a room. It was a difficult decision, but finally, she went for Arabella's room and was thankful when she opened up."Masha?" Arabella called with surprise as she held the door open. She was more fuddled when she noticed Masha in tears. "What in the name of Selene! Are you crying?"It triggered Masha's emotions and she bursted into more tears. Arabella was taken abacked. "Come on; come here", she cooed and pulled her into a hug.

Since she'd be travelling with Czar the next day, she needed to get her things ready.As she walked back to the room, she couldn't stop thinking about the trip.

The Alpha's Concubine The Trip
Masha didn't want the dawn of the next day. As the next morning approached, she kept feeling so nervous about her journey with the Alpha prince, But unfortunately, it could not be avoided.She fidgeted with her fingers as the servants took her bags away, to the hackney-coach which were already waiting outside. It hurt her that it was morning already and she needed to set out on her journey with the prince. Goodness, she was nervous.When the servants took the last of her bag, she took a deep breath as she gave herself one last stare at the wall mirror. Arabella had assisted in glamming her up. She made Masha wear a black chiton dress and brushed her moon shadow-black hair into a fine ponytail. Then, she wore some bracelets on her and added a little color to her cheeks.Masha looked just like the Lady that she was - Lady Masha.Gathering up the courage she needed, she walked out of the roo
The Alpha's Concubine A Conspiracy
Masha had a hard time sleeping off at first, but eventually, she did and it turned out to be a very long night for her.The snorting and nickering of the horses was the first thing that woke her up. She turned and stretched with her eyes still closed on the mat, and when her hands moved freely, it occured to her that Czar was no longer beside her.She cocked her head to have a look and confirmed her thoughts. Then, a sigh left her lips. She had expected it, anyway.She stood up from the mat and made to leave the tent. Taking her first step out, her eyes responsively went close for a few seconds as her warm cheeks felt the thrill of the morning breeze. She loved it, especially the frosty and tree stump smell that came along with it. The view was magnificent as well - fresh leaves that fell to the ground, and the faint sound of the pine tree as they rustled. Masha had always loved nature, and she loved travelin
