Dead but alive was how Alyssa felt. She felt as though she had fallen from the top of a building and had her skull cracked open. The pain and the aches were there. She could hear the screams and feel the heat but she wasn't there.She gasped and fluttered her eyelids open. She groaned out in pain, feeling sore all over. What happened to her? The feeling wasn't comforting. It was just painful.She felt high, too high from the floor and her body felt comfortable around the soft bed– soft bed? That's when it occurred to her. Where was she? She sat up hastily and took in her surroundings. The interior, the trophies and medals, the wolf art– It was all too familiar yet strange. She was in a room that clearly wasn't hers.No wonder she felt high. It was the bed. It was too comfortable but how the hell did she get here? She climbed out of bed and went to the mirror. It was now an habitual part of her.When she saw her reflection she screamed. She looked like a mummy. She was wrapped I'm gau
“For now you have to stay hidden and keep your identity a secret. Lydia is consumed by jealousy and she would go any length to ensure you're destroyed. I know you don't trust me but can you be with me on this?”Altssa stared at Ebsy, as much as she hated to admit it, he was right.Her emotions were conflicted but there was nothing she could do. Appearing at the pack house like this would be sick and she still wanted to get revenge on Lydia. Her brother would be in pain.She closed her eyes. Ethan would hurt but she couldn't go back. At least not yet.Plus, her face was ruined and her body was hurt. But she was alive. All she had to do was wait till her body recovered so she could change her identity and start going out.“I agree,” she said.***Ace was rushed to the hospital again. After learning that the recovered body was Alyssa's he went into shock and fainted. He couldn't take it. Ethan got a call from the pack house and went to the hospital to confirm it by himself.“No it's not
Alpha Larole walked in silently and stared at the scene going on and the mess Ethan had made. Ethan scattered everything on the table and they fell into a mess. The security officials grabbed him roughly by the shoulders, threatening to throw him out.“You all did this to my sister,” Ethan yelled as tears slipped down his eyes. “It's all your fault she's dead and I will never forgive you all.”Alpha Larole looked at Ethan sternly. “Go home and rest.”Ethan scoffed. “Now that Alyssa is dead, I should go home and rest? None of you ever let her rest. She was always scared to stay out or spend time with me. You bullied her.”“This man has been causing trouble, Alpha. It's best we throw him out. This is a hospital,” a nurse said to Alpha Larole.Ace sighed. “Let go of him please. It's all my fault all this is happening. My mismanagement contributed to it too. Alyss should never have stayed on the basement floor.”Everyone went silent and Lydia stared in confusion at Ace. She had expected h
“Did you like your little surprise?”Lydia grinned at her father and put her arms around him. “You did well. I was shocked, trust me. How could you pull that off within that short period?”He shrugged. “My daughter was sad. I knew I had to act fast. I can't let some commoner take your position.”Lydia's lip curled into a smile and her eyes burned with pride as she stared at him. “Your daughter is proud of you dad. I'm so glad she's out of the way. She burned into Ash.”“That's perfect. There can't be traces of evidence. Remember I told you to leave it to me. Whatever I do, I do it well.” He looked at her sternly. “I've done my part, sweetie, now you have to act swiftly. You have to get the Alpha’s son to get mated to you on time. Soon, he will be the Alpha and he will need a Luna.”Lydia stiffened as the memories of today came flooding in. She slowly took her seat. Her father watched her with curious eyes as he observed the change in her demeanour. “Are you okay?”She shook her head a
Alyssa teared her eyes away from the mirror and sat on the bed. She wasn't pleased about the change but she was grateful she had a new face. One that was without wrinkles and scars even though she didn't recognise it.She wondered who it was that had owned this face that she was going to have to live with for the rest of her life.“How do you feel? Do you like it?” Ebsy asked as she walked in.Alyssa sighed. “I feel weird. I mean, who has this new face though?”“It's no one's. I just told the surgeon to do his thing and change a little. Like your cheekbone for example, it's higher and that's one of the few.”Alyssa swallowed. “She looks pathetic. Insufferable actually.”He nodded and squeezed her hands in his. “I know you don't like it but you'll have to live with it. This new face still has a lot of beauty, only a few things have changed.”She groaned. “I'm okay now. That means I can walk around, right? I mean, what do you think? It's been a while since I've been here.”“That's what
“That's enough,” Harriet snarled and gave Kalista a look of warning.Kalista made a face at the coach before backing away.“Everyone take your positions. Jada, focus on them. Imitate whatever I do and whatever they do and when it's time for sparring, you have me.”All of them were assembled into positions and Coach had Alyssa separated from the people so they wouldn't cause her any trouble.“Warm up everyone,” She said. “Get into the spirit. Let the blood circulate round, sweat out and get your mind and body prepared.”Alyssa began to stretch as they did, ignoring their looks. Most of the people in the pack were people she could hardly recognise. It seemed as though the ones she had known had left and these new people she didn't know them at all.“I kinda feel bad for her,” someone said. “Coach, I'll change positions and stay with the new puppy.”“Her name's Jada!” Coach snapped. “Be nice. If you're going to give her problems then let her be.”“Come on now and don't be salty towards
The locker room's light flickered and then abruptly went out, plunging Alyssa into complete darkness. Her breath caught in her throat, and for a moment, panic threatened to overwhelm her. “Hello, I'm still in here,” she called out in fear. If they locked her up she would have to stay in there till someone realised she was missing.She had just been about to put on her clothes and leave, only to find them missing. A cold realisation washed over her: someone had tampered with her things. “It was here just now,” she whispered as she looked around in frustration. “Oh God.”Clad only in a towel, she felt vulnerable and exposed, but Alyssa had never been one to succumb to fear easily.Oh no this can’t be happening,” she whispered as she stared into the darkness. She couldn't stay here. Ebsy would worry about her and when he calls her he wouldn't be able to reach her. How then would he know where she was? She already knew the people of Blue Bane hadn't changed one bit.Someone had been in
Ebsy looked at Alyssa who was wrapped in a towel and covered in sweat and dirt. He stared at her in amusement and broke out in cold sweat. Anger rushed through his veins. “First of all, what are you doing here?”She opened her mouth but he interrupted her again. “Why did you come down from there? If you hadn't been careful enough, that dagger would have gone right through your neck.”Alyssa held the towel tightly to her chest. She was scared. She has never seen him that angry and her heart throbbed faster than usual. “I'm sorry she whispered.”“You could've gotten hurt,” he pointed out.She steadied her breath and stared at him in frustration. “I know, okay. Why didn't you turn on the lights?”“Why are you naked?” He demanded, watching her.“I still have a towel on. I'm not naked,” She pointed.“Fine, that's fine. Are you okay?” He asked.Alyssa nodded. “I'm great.”“We need to get you something. We can't have you walking around in clothes like this,” Ebsy said and took off his jacket
