Alpha’s Slave (Psy-Vamps 1)

Ashlynn Monroe

When Tariah offers herself up to cancel her father’s debt and save her sister, she assumes she’ll be sacrificed to the vicious male who accepts her life as payment. Instead, Zerion gives her a choice -- life with him, or death. Tariah chooses to live. When his king wants a taste of her she must look for courage she’s never had before.

Now she must search deep within herself for the bravery required to mate with the two Psy Warriors she both fears and desires.

Chapter One

Father, no! Let her go, please, Tariah begged as she pulled on her father’s arm.

Their father held her youngest sister, Sandrea, by her long silky blonde hair. Sandrea whimpered, a choking sob escaping her. As the leader of their tribe Father was responsible for paying taxes to Golden City, but he’d been foolish with the village money.

Don’t do this terrible thing. No one ever returns from the city. She doesn’t deserve to die for your crime, Tariah pleaded.

Sandrea reached for Tariah. Their fingers touched, but her father yanked the younger girl away. Her sister hadn’t even had her first woman’s blood.

A blast of cold air rushed in as Father pulled the door open. Sacrificing a child for his sins didn’t seem to bother him. He pulled Sandrea from the house and out into the muddy lane.

Five other girls stood silently as they watched their baby sister being dragged from the hut. Big, haunted eyes watched the scene, but no other sister appeared to have the courage to fight for Sandrea. Hunched with the weight of oppression they huddled together in the corner of the small cottage. Tariah would not hide with them. Not this time, and maybe never again. It was time one of them stood up to Father.

Tariah opened the door and looked outside. Sandrea’s soft robin’s egg blue dress was muddied carelessly as her father jerked her arm, causing her to stumble in her attempt to keep up with him. She lost her footing on the wet path. Tumbling, Sandrea landed on her side, but their father was relentless as he pulled her up by her hair.

Tariah had seen enough, but when she started to go out the door, her sister Evelia grabbed her arm. "Don’t try to stop him. There’s no hope. You heard what the elder said, one girl, just like the ancient ways. He’s lived longer than anyone else in the village. She stopped talking and glared at Tariah. Surely, the old one would know how to rectify this and keep us safe. If Father can’t come up with the money they’ll take one girl or the village burns. Sandrea is of least value to his house. He can’t take another man’s child since it was his crime that brought the riders here."

Tariah shook off Evelia’s hold. He’s not taking her. When his second wife died birthing her I took her into my heart. She’s like my own daughter, and you know it. Not her, anyone but her.

Evelia’s eyes filled with tears. I love you, sister. We need you. Please don’t do this. Sandrea is a spoiled girl and without you she’ll never survive life in this house. Let her go, there’s nothing we can do.

Tariah took a long last look at her sister before bounding out of the small cottage and into the mud outside. She could hear riders coming. The scent of earth grinding under the hooves and early spring rain filled her senses. Electricity from the coming storm was palpable as the dangerous energy made the hair on her arms stand up. Thunder rolled in the distance.

She reached her father just as the riders came into view.

Not her, please, Father. I have cooked and cleaned and cared for our family my whole life. I have been a good and obedient daughter. You decided to gamble away the tax money in hopes of profiting for yourself. Don’t take her away from me. Please.

I gambled for dowries. The gods have cursed me with a house full of daughters and no way to find them husbands. Sweet Sandrea is the prettiest of my brood, she will please him and free me from my obligation.

Sandrea tried to break free, and Tariah reached for her sister. When the large horses and their riders came to a stop nearby Sandrea struggled even more desperately. Tariah grabbed her sister and managed to pull her away from their father. The young girl clung to Tariah, just as she had as a toddler. She ducked away from their father’s reach. He snarled out a curse and viciously backhanded Tariah. She took the blow, shielding her sister completely. Even dizzy and bleeding she managed to keep him from regaining his cruel grip on the girl.

Get back to the house, Tariah, and stay out of men’s business, Father demanded.

The biggest, scariest looking Warrior slid off his saddleless stallion. His body
