Alpha Kaydens Revenge

Karen was lost in her thought as she watered a garden which was more than four hectares of land. She was too exhausted from having worked all day that her hands were shaking from holding the water can.

Life had always been this miserable for her right from childhood, and her father, the Alpha of their pack had seen to it that she spent every day of her life in misery.

She was told that her mother had died while given birth to her and that was perhaps the reason the Alpha King hated her.... She had always wished she had died at birth than being faced with misery from the hatred her father harbor for her.

"Princess, Princess" Karen jolted away from her thought as she heard the soft voice called, she knew who it was and then scoffed at the name she was called as she ruminated over the name.

She was a princess and yet worked more than a slave, even the maids and other subjects were more worthy of sight than she was.

"How many times would I tell you to call me by my name" Karen faked a smile turning to face Rahinna, her entrusted maid which she had come to know as her only friend.

"I can't call you that, your highness, you still have the royal blood running in you" Rahinna gave a bow, then lifted her face to meet with her princess, her face fell immediately she saw how shaky Karen's hand was.

"You're just so stubborn" Karen whined knowing she had lost the argument. Despite the fact that she was a ridiculing material in the palace, Rahinna had never disrespected her and had always treated her like the princess she was, and she gave a light smile.

Karen smile faded away when she trailed after Rahinna's gaze, it was directed at the watering can she was holding and she understood that look.

"No, don't tell me you wants to help me out again, I can't let you risk it even if you insists a thousand times, not after the last time that you got whipped for helping me out the last time"

"But, my princess, no one is looking, I would just help for some few minutes and then we would get done with this task, so you can have your rest" Rahinna insisted.

Karen sighed out rolling her eyes, " I'm not giving it to you, you. should get going before you get caught with me, my father's dogs and spies can assume you were helping me out even though we both know that you weren't"

"Oh !" Rahinna snapped her fingers as if recalling something which drew Karen's full attention.

"What's that" Karen curiously asked.

"About your upcoming birthday" Rahinna hinted.

Karen birthday was just a few days away, but she had been so occupied with various thought to worry about it.

Since it was going to be her eighteenth birthday, her father for the first time in her past ages, decided to throw a feast for her, one of those big feast that those real princess do have to mark their coming of age.

She had been so excited when the news was unfolded to her, it had made her for once in her life been so happy for being a princess as it would make her long time dream come to pass.

From the news she had gathered from Rahinna, she was told that it was possible she met with her fated mate who might be an Alpha, a Prince or a Beta, and she had always looked forward to that day, so she can be free from her father's hate. Rahinna had also lectured her on how she'd felt when she spot her mate.

"What about that?" Karen asked as she smiled, fantatizing to her near freedom.

Rahinna looked around to be sure that they were actually both alone, as if confirming her affirmation, she then whispered softly with a low tone.

"They've been rumors around..." She paused, then glance around.

"What rumors?" Karen who was dying of curiosity queried, she noticed Rahinna wasn't comfortable spilling whatever she wanted to say there, so she grabbed her hand and dragged her as she ran with the small strength she had left to a secret spot of hers.

"Now spill, what rumors?" Karen was all eager to hear the gist in full now.

Rahinna who was still in doubt if she should go on, shrugged her shoulder determined to spill it out.

"I don't think the Alpha's intention is only to mark your coming of age" she folded her hand across her shoulder.

"Why did you say so? What have you heard?"

"This morning while I went to serve his majesty his tea since the royal maid was sick, I overheard him speaking with a Beta that the feast wasn't for the celebration of your birthday, but wanted to sell your away to other countries" Rahinna spilled out.

Karen shivered, not from cold, but from the scary revelation she had just heard. How could her father be this cruel? What wrong had she ever done to him?

" I'm so sorry, princess" Rahinna felt the pain of what her princess was feeling, she suddenly wished she had kept quiet and hadn't told her the truth.

"I just want to be alone" Karen said after a long minute of stretched silence.

"Are you going to be okay?'' Rahinna said with a tone of concern, she was feeling very reluctant to leave her princess alone.

"I would be fine" Karen replied trying to suppress the urge from breaking down in her sight, one thing she hated was being pitied on.

Rahinna reluctantly left and Karen broke down crying.

The chandeliers and wall decorations, both interior and exterior spoke mightily that a big feast was being held.

Different Alpha's from various pack were invited for the feast and some of them were already tropping in already.
