" Milady, the pack kingdom is under attack!" Brianna's worried and anxious voice reached my mind through the Link." What?" I yelled, jumping on my feet before racing outside.I had confined myself in my chambers again for a whole day and night, trying to practise my magic and learn how to control it." The southern border has been taken down and they are heading to the castle. What should we do?" Brianna cried. I could feel the worry in her voice,not like I was not worried myself but I had prepared myself for this day." Calm down Brianna. I want you to do something for me. Take Zara to safety. Take her to the bunker and wait for me there. No matter what happens, do not let her out of your sight." I instructed, racing down the stairs.The kingdom has always been fortified so how could they break in so quickly?How could they easily make their way as far as to the castle unless this was all but a trap?However, I didn't have time to ponder on that, I just knew I had to stand up and de
" Nooooo!" I cried out, my legs moving impossibly fast as I held Albanus in my arms.The dagger had stabbed directly into his heart and I knew that there was no way I would be saving him.As I held him in my arms, I could not help but let my tears fall.A beautiful smile was plastered on his face as he looked me in the face." Why Albanus! Why did you do that? Why are you stupid?" I yelled at him, my tears flowing like a river.I did not bother to restrain them as they fell, each drop of my tears falling on his face." They say that love is blind but not stupid. I think my Love for you is both blind and stupid. I Love you Maya and I can do anything to see you happy. Since it's Gideon you love, why would I let you suffer after he's dead. I am not generous but I can lay my life to see those I love happy. Be happy please and don't cry. You don't look so good when you cry." Although his voice sounded weak, Albanus still struggled to tell me those words.My hands were soaked with his warm
" Wake up Zara, it is time to start your training." I smiled at my daughter who was covered from head to toe and definitely pretending to be asleep." Zara dear, I am going to tickle you." I sang out sweetly and the girl immediately woke up, her face terrified.If there is something that Zara fears the most is being tickled." Okay, okay. I'm going to train." She muttered pretending to rub her eyes.A yawn escaped her mouth.Just when she was about to Step down, her father and my husband, Gideon stepped Inside the room." You are being hard on our daughter, Love. Let her sleep some more. She is young and energetic. She can learn everything later." As always, he was here to let his daughter off the hook.This has always been what he does, spoiling his daughter and giving in to her every demand and whim." But Gideon…" Before I could say anything,he snaked his arms around my waist, pulling my body to his." Our daughter is the princess, she does not need to work hard. She can have anyt
" Every year on this day,you come to drink with me. Tell me Maya, what is the matter?" Samantha asked, pouring me another glass of wine." I can't drink with you though." She added, sounding apologetic." I know that. Kyle told me that you guys are expecting again. Congratulations." I said.Six years ago, Kyle and Samantha finally got married and were blessed with a baby boy, Allison." He won't stop telling everybody about it. He's hoping we could have a girl this time." Samantha said with a smile." Anyway, don't try to change the subject. Tell me, it's been years, why do you still feel guilty about your parents death? You and I both know that you had nothing to do with that." She added, making me take a deep breath before sighing heavily." Samantha, do you think I am a filial daughter?" I asked and it seemed like my question took her aback.Samantha stared at me blankly for a minute before a frown settled on her face." Why are you asking that? I don't understand." Confusion was a
Maya POVI don't know how long I have been out but one thing is for sure, if I don't get back at this time, then I was going to get it from Regina. Worst would be her running her mouth to the alpha, her lover about me escaping my duties.Although the woods give me peace and the tranquillity I crave for, I know I can't continue reeling in the serenity of the quietness of the forest and the fresh air filling my lungs, reminding me that I was still alive.Taking one last longing look to the peaceful forest and taking a deep breath, I stand up and head back to the packhouse.Before we get too far into the story,let me introduce myself.My name is Maya Reed and I am the personal slave to the Alpha of Blue moon pack, Alpha Logan Davidson.Logan and I are fated mates. The moon goddess chose us for each other.I was only eighteen years old when I learnt that Logan was my mate. Imagine how happy I was after I identified him as my mate.Every werewolf gets excited after hitting eighteen years a
My eyes gleamed with tears but I fought very hard to restrain them. I couldn't allow Logan to see my tears, not now when I could feel him simmering with anger.A slap sent me flying as I slammed on the wall before falling down with a thud. The impact was too much that I coughed out blood as tears started stinging my eyes."You filthy animal, how dare you touch me with your dirty hands?" Logan's voice bloomed into my ears and i shivered from the coldness etched on his words.I didn't dare raise my head to look at him because that would make him more angrier than he already was. He doesn't forget to remind me how ugly and disgusting my face is." I'm sorry, it won't happen again." My meek voice travelled through the room. Despite trying, I couldn't control the tremble lacing my voice. My sorry would definitely aggravate the already bad situation but what else could I say. He was using his alpha voice on me making me submit to him." You are sorry? Why don't I see how sorry you are mutt!"
" Bathe her and dress her up. Tonight she will be auctioned off. At Least after tonight, I don't get to see her ugly face in this pack anymore.'" Regina Instructed.The word getting sold off could have scared the shit out of me, but not anymore.If there's a chance I could get away from this hellhole, I would not hesitate to do it. I would rather have myself killed by some stranger than to continue living on this pack, letting Logan humiliate and Regina vent up her anger and hatred on me.' Anything that allows you to sleep peacefully.' I said inwardly.Ugly! who doesn't know that despite being chosen by the Alpha, she has always been jealous of my beauty.I was bathed by the slaves and my wounds cleaned. The silver chains restraining me were also removed.I know they did this so that I can heal by evening or by the time they sell me off.But there's no problem. It was better than having my fragile human body to heal itself.After I was cleaned and given clean clothes to wear, I was
Regina's voice rang from the door as she made her way inside.I saw her eyes widen in surprise before jealousy adorned them.That prompted me to take a look at myself.I hadn't been in the mood to admire myself but now that I witnessed such emotions from her from the reflection of the mirror, I got curious.The girls had washed my hair and straightened it before curling the ends creating waves.The red dress was hugging my curves at the right places.I have to admit that whoever chose the dress for me has a good sense of fashion.The red dress created a contrast with my wheat like skin adding more charm to my already well proportioned body.I always knew I had a great body, just that with the loosely fitted satin dresses we were made to wear, nothing could be outlined.A little bit of makeup was done on my face, the pink lipstick applied on my lips giving them a luscious look.I could not believe that the person in the reflection was actually me.I was proud that my parents gave me su
