Alice leaves her hair and carries her in his arms, and starts to walk with Alisha in his arms as she cries, her voice trembling with pain. "It hurts," she sobs."Didn't I tell you to close your eyes? Why are they still open like that?"Alisha, in agony, replies, "I'm bleeding, Auntie."Alice's mother, struggling to keep up with Alice's pace, reassures Alisha, "I'm here, Alisha."Through her tears, Alice's mother pleads, "Please, Alice, let her go and see what you've done. It's inhumane. Can't you see how she's suffering? We need to take her to the hospital."Alice dismisses her concerns, saying, "Mom! She's not going anywhere. Call the doctor to come to our house. It's not that serious; she's just bleeding. Don't worry, it'll be fine.""Why are you behaving like this, Alice?,"His mother shouts.Ignoring her, he reaches his room, and Alice instructs his mother, "Call the doctor, and I'll give my Angel a bath. Blood stinks."His mother can't believe her son's behaviour at this moment. H
Alice gazed upon Alisha's unconscious body, her delicate form cradled in his arms as he swiftly carried her to the built-in cupboard in his bathroom. Gently laying her down on the slab, he retrieved his hoodie from the cupboard and carefully dressed her, tenderly tending to the injuries he had inadvertently caused."These wounds will heal," he thought to himself, "I won't let them mark her skin permanently. They may look beautiful now, but I want her to bear only my marks, not these ugly injuries. She's an epitome of beauty, even in this state."After attending to Alisha, he changed into his night suit, opting for a black hoodie and pyjamas. However, the red hoodie suited him so well, especially with her in his arms.Emerging from the bathroom, he settled her on the bed and sat beside her, captivated by her flushed face. Her lips, despite being injured, held an alluring quality that he found irresistible. He leaned in, lightly tasting the lingering hint of blood, finding it strangely s
Alisha gazed at him with her large, bewildered eyes, exclaiming, "Why must I only think about you when I possess a mind that can entertain any thought I desire? My eyes should behold whatever I wish to see as well."Alice felt like tearing his hair out upon hearing her. She was something he couldn't tolerate, yet he couldn't bring himself to leave her.Alisha then attempted to make sense of it all and declared loudly, "I'm in hell with you. Now witness how clever I am. But why am I in hell? I've always been a good girl, so what could have caused God to send me here? I'm such a good girl, yet here I am in hell with you. He's so bad, so he deserves it, but what about me? Is it because I never ate my food like an obedient child that I ended up here?"Before Alisha could say anything more, Alice's mom entered the room and asked her, "How are you, dear?"Alisha looked at her, made an oval face, and then said, "You're here too? Auntie, are we all dead? What are you doing in hell? I know you
"It's not like I can lend my intelligence to you because it's not something you can have.""Are you mocking me? You are trying to mock Alice Sharma?,"Alice asked her.Alice's mom couldn't control herself and started laughing, saying, "You both are fighting too much, more than needed, just like kids."She couldn't believe she was seeing this coming from her son, who never meddled in any situation. Here he was, behaving like a child, fighting over silly things, seemingly enjoying it.Alisha, in her childish manner, said, "Aunty! I'm not fighting, it's him. He is fighting with me. I'm always a good girl who never fights with anyone, and he is older than me. Why would I fight?""You can see, Mom, it's not me who is talking nonsense here. It's her who is talking nonsense and then picking a fight with me, now saying she is not fighting, such a so-called good girl,."Alice interrupted. (Note the sarcasm dripping from his voice)"Who says I talk nonsense when I surely don't? You always take thi
Alice's face contorted with anger, his eyes betraying his desire to tear her apart for trying to escape. Despite his best efforts to calm his nerves, he couldn't contain his frustration."You can't go a second without making me angry. What's your problem?" he spat.Alisha responded with a nonchalant tone, fully meaning every word. "You are the problem. You kidnapped me, slapped me, beat me, kissed me, and then have the audacity to ask who the problem is. As far as I know, it's you."Alice raised his eyebrows and retorted, "Are you sure you want to go down that road? As far as I know, you are the reason for all the issues here. The things that happened to you, I didn't plan for. You made me do things I never intended to do."Pointing her finger at him, Alisha challenged, "So I'm the reason? Then how about you let me go home and stop bothering me? You already killed Lucky. What's your problem with me?"Alice couldn't believe her responses. It seemed like she had an answer for everything,
"Mmmmmmmmm-Mmmmmmmmm," Alice let out a soft moan.There he was, no saint with no inhibitions, just consumed by his sexual desires. His eyes were fixated on her breasts, watching them rise and fall, igniting a longing within him."Angel, what's your size?" Alice inquired.Alisha, who had been crying, was taken aback by his question. "What size?" she asked, her voice breaking from the intensity of her tears."Your breast size," Alice clarified.Alisha's eyes widened in disbelief. How could he be so shameless as to ask such a question? "My breast size?" she repeated, shocked."Don't you even know your own size?,”Alice smirked.Alisha, embarrassed and emotional, struggled to respond. "I know I have breasts, but why do you want to know the size?" she managed to say through her tears."Because I want to know. Why shouldn't I ask?" Alice retorted."Because they're my breasts," Alisha replied."You are mine, so everything about you is mine too. There's nothing you can hide," Alice asserted. "B
Alisha remained silent after he departed, his warning still echoing in her mind. She knew better than to provoke him. The memory of his touch and the pain it brought was too fresh, and she couldn't bear the thought of enduring it again. So, she resolved to keep her mouth shut."He talks about teaching me manners, yet he has none," she thought. "He's disrespectful and dirty. How can he expect to instruct me on proper behaviour?"Alisha's mother, observing her frightened and tear-stained face, sensed that something had gone awry behind closed doors. She felt helpless, unsure of how to assist Alisha, but she knew she had to act before her son could inflict further harm.Approaching Alisha, she said, "Don't cry, Alisha. Everything will be alright."Alisha wanted to respond, to tell her mother how her son had treated her, but she dared not. His warning still hung over her, and she feared making things worse.Alisha's mother, expecting a strong reaction from her daughter, became concerned wh
Alice felt restless and knew he was getting too hot under his pants for a reason he didn't want to acknowledge.He couldn't believe how much he wanted her. In his whole life, he had never been aroused by women, but this girl's mere words could make him wild with desire. He felt like a beast, and he hated himself for it.Alice took deep breaths, trying to control himself. It wasn't something he wanted, at least not now.He went into his study and turned on the camera. Yes, he had cameras all over his house, except in his mom's room.Alice saw Alisha, at first not talking, and then making a deal with his mom not to tell him about what she had said. He whispered to himself, "How can someone be this naive?""She can be, and you love her for it," His conscience replied.Alice smiled as he watched his mom lovingly feed Alisha, making it seem like they were mother and daughter. At least for a day, it was a good distraction. She had come into his life and swept him away with her innocence, and
"Did you talk with Aunty Daisy?"Alice stopped what he was doing as soon as she mentioned his mother's name. How could he forget about this whole thing?He had sent his driver away that day and had been here for quite some time, which nobody knew about. His mom would have been stressed.Because of his anger, he hadn't talked to his mom, thinking she had faked her health so Alisha could have more time for her escape plan. Even though he knew it wasn't his mother's mistake—he was the one at fault—he had clearly forced the marriage on Alisha, and if he thought about it now, it wasn't right.Still, it seemed like the best option if he didn't want to let her slip. Now it was impossible for her to slip away, as he was her mate. Before, it wasn't like that, so he had been scared: what if she left? And that's exactly what happened. Alisha left him stranded on their wedding day, confirming his doubts.Now, thinking about this whole thing, his mother would have been so stressed. He had been day
"I think you should control your anger; sometimes you just overreact, as you did today," Alisha suggested, drying her hair. She had taken a bath after the whole training, and it felt way better for her sore body."That's because it's you who thinks it. Better if you stop overthinking. Jackson talked to you with such disrespect; there's no way I'm going to take it easily. Nothing is overreacting when it comes to you," Alice walked toward her and took the towel from her hands.Alisha looked at him in shock. "What are you doing? My hair is still wet," giving him side-eyes, she put her hand forward, indicating she wanted the towel back, her wet hair dripping on the top she wore."I never knew you were this assertive, but I like it now. Tell me, what will you do if I don't give in?" Alice chuckled, wanting to know what she'd do.He loves seeing her like this; it's more fun when she doesn't behave cautiously with him. Not to deny, when she crosses limits, he doesn't quite like it, but in a
"Run faster! What are you both doing?" Jackson growled loudly as he matched Alisha and Alice's running pace, jolting them back due to his sudden appearance out of nowhere."What are you both doing? Why are you running like you're jogging? Even at my old age, I can easily catch up with you," Jackson sounded pissed.Alisha and Alice both stopped running, and Jackson stopped too, glaring at them as if he would gulp them down in one go if they didn't reply to him.Here, training was not something to joke about, and they were running like it was some fun activity, not like he trained people now.He was a retired Beta, so he stayed away from things like this, but when the former queen and king were alive, he was in charge of getting the warriors ready for war or anything else.Now, seeing how Alisha was taking this so carelessly, he felt mad.She was of royal blood, the future queen. For Alice, he didn't give a lot of shit, but he was Alisha's mate, which made him the future king. Hearing t
"Why do you care so much? You behave very differently," Alisha commented, looking directly into his eyes, catching her breath. Her whole face turned red, due to the heat and her breathless self."I care because it's you, Angel. I don't give a fuck about anything in this whole world if it's not you, but if it's you, then I care with my whole existence," Alice sincerely replied, as he smiled, shocking Alisha a bit.She had seen him smile before, but not this radiantly. Somehow, in his sweaty body, he looked hot as his lips stretched into a pleasant smile.His words warmed her heart, making her speechless.Sometimes he just says things like this which totally blows her mind. She doesn't even get to react, as she is never able to figure out how to respond when he says things like this."Don't you feel weird when you say things like this?" she asked, wanting to know what runs through his head that motivates him to say such things."I feel weird," Alice paused, "when I don't say things like
"Run twenty rounds in teams. Levi and Alisha can run together, while Alice and Rish can run together in a group," Maya announced, fire in her eyes."I don't want to run with Rish. I will run with my girl only," Alice denied, unwilling to leave Alisha's side.He wanted to run with Alisha. After the attack, he may have been the one who bore it, but the fear of what could have happened to her was clearly eating him alive. Under no circumstances would he leave her alone without his protection. It wasn't going to happen.Running twenty rounds would take no less than an hour, as the place was quite big. It might even take longer than that."I am pairing Levi and Alisha because they are both girls, and you and Rish are guys, so it will help match the strengths," Maya sighed. She didn't understand why Alice always had to be glued to Alisha. She may have understood a bit, but not entirely. It was just tiring."It doesn't matter. I will run faster than Rish, so why can't I be paired with Alisha
"Maya, do you think it will be alright to teach her how to fight when she doesn't even have the wolf, and she's certainly just a human? Won't it be a bit more complex?" Elk asked as he entered the room where Maya was getting ready for today's lesson."I don't think it's the best thing, but whatever the case, there's no way she's safe. Since she's not safe, I don't think we should push her training any further. The attack was fatal; didn't you see the extent of Alice's injuries?" Maya looked into Elk's eyes and replied with determination."True, but I am scared for all four of them. Even if Alice was in the Mafia, that doesn't mean he can bear the training of our people. Alisha, Levi, and Rish are beyond prepared to handle it," Elk reasoned.Maya took a deep breath, knowing Elk was right. Although Levi and Rish had spent their whole lives with her, she had never taught them how to fight, maybe just a little self-defence, but they had never undergone real training.Thinking about it, sh
Alisha nodded, taking in the information about Alice's involvement with the mafia. It explained his fighting skills and the air of danger that seemed to surround him. Despite her reservations about his character, she couldn't deny that his presence during the training would be a valuable asset."Well, if you're willing to join us, Alice, your experience and expertise will certainly be helpful," Maya said, trying to maintain a neutral tone. "As long as you're committed to learning and working together with the rest of us."Alice met her gaze, his eyes intense and unwavering. "I am fully committed, Maya.”Maya nodded, a slight smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "It's settled then. Alisha, Rish, Levi, and Alice will begin their training tomorrow morning. We'll meet in the training grounds at sunrise. Be prepared to work hard and push yourselves to your limits."Alice nodded his head, not quite sure why he had revealed his mafia connections and his involvement in the underworld. E
Alisha looked at Alice, who showed no expression. She could understand what Maya and everyone meant; she clearly needed to learn, but that didn't mean she was ready to learn fighting.She knew she had to protect herself, and Alice had saved her by putting his life at stake, so it was kind of useless if she would rely on him when they weren't even on good terms.Moreover, if she was certainly not ready to use Alice for curse-breaking, then how could she take his help in other things? It was quite nonsensical.She didn't know how to take it as a whole. On a higher scale, it was helpful, but on a lower scale, it was not.She was scared for her life, and that wasn't going to help in any way because the attack was meant for her, and seeing the situation, she could see how there would be more of them.She just couldn't pull it off or save herself if she didn't learn to fight, but she knew her body best, and she was kind of weak to learn things like this - that's why she found it so scary."
The next day."Did you pack your stuff? We are leaving for the pack in ten minutes," Maya asked as she entered the room, where Alice was sitting and Alisha was cleaning all his wounds."Everything is packed. I am just bandaging his wounds," Alisha answered without looking back."If you are done with his wounds, both of you should come outside. We have to leave as soon as possible. This place is not safe to stay, even for a single hour," Maya spoke as she walked away."Just do everything as we planned. You got me, right?" Alice's eyes were fixed on Alisha, seriousness showing on his face."Yes, we need to keep our eyes open for whatever happens next, and I will make sure I have my eyes on Elk too. He won't slip away," Alisha nodded her head.Alice stroked her hair, his heart aching for her. "I know, Alisha. It's hard, but we can't give up.”Alice's mind raced, trying to piece together the puzzle of who could be behind the attack. He knew Elk was a suspect in Alisha's eyes, but he could
