Liliana laid there lifeless, no one who have thought she was the same person who had tried to kill someone at the mountains few minutes ago.
The Alpha opened the door few seconds after she had position herself on the bed. If she had waited there or was five seconds later she would have been caught red handed by the alpha, good things she had been fast.
She laid there looking lifeless and pale but deep in her heart she resent herself for not finishing Laura when she had a chance to. Now she had to start all over again to looking for her.
"That little wench was able to escape ? That not good at all, she had only tried to make conversations with me because she wants to waste my time and run away from her death, she is able to run away right now but she would not be able to run away the next time I get her, I would kill her immediately" she promised deep in her heart.
The alpha on the hand sat down next to her, disappointment and sadness was written all over his face as he wached her pale face.
She was in this much pain because she saved all of them just in one night, his lover was only suffering all this pain because of that damn cook who tried to kill them all.
He was only waiting patiently for his lover, Liliana to wake up from this deep sleep before he finally decided on what punishment and how painful he his going to make her face death.
She had put all of them lives in risk and most especially the life of his lover who did everything to save them. Laura deserved nothing but death and that is what she was going to face, the most painful way of death at that.
But he just could not just erase the look in her eye and the spark he left when she heard her hands and begged him to say her life. There was just something about her that made his wolf feels weird.
Although he could not point out what it was but he knows that there was this odd connection between them from the frist day they meet but he didn't place it important snice he felt it was not necessary.
He thought it was just his wolf acting crazy until she touched him and looked at him with those pitiful eye, he felt the spark he just could not comprehend.
"She is just trying to save herself, there is nothing special about her. Laura is a murderer !" He yelled to himself as he immediately discharge that crazy thought.
He heard his Liliana has with his warm hands as he wipe her forehead with his other hand.
Liliana raging temper immediately calmed down with that simple gesture he had made and she smiled but made sure he didn't see it. It was a tiny smile.
"Please wake up huh ? I hate seeing you lying here lifeless. Liliana I love you, you can't keep hurting me by lying here" he said passionatly his voice laced with concern and his eye filled with worry and sadness.
He was hurting, and he did not bother hiding it from anyone.
He looked at her to see if there was anything reaction from her but there wasn't, his face fell into a frown as he could not get any recation from her.
Liliana was excited that at least the alpha was like this and was this sad just because she is lying there.
She has the alpha heart in her hands for sure and she is willing to do anything to make sure no one take him away from her not even his mate.
She is going to do anything to make sure things remains the same.
"Liliana do you know that I wanted to announce you as my luna back at the ball but that darn crisis we had did not allow me do it. How about we hold other ball to announce you as my wife and luna ?" He asked with a smile on his face.
"His luna ? He his going to make me his luna ? Finally ! After all this while he finally made his decision to make me his luna official" she thought, beaming happily.
She knew it was worth waiting, there was finally going to be a reward for her waiting.
"Laura isn't that totally useless then, she has help me in acheiving what I waited for all these years" she thought.
Liliana was extremely excited, the main reason she has stayed by his side all these years was because she wanted to be his luna now he finally decided to make her his luna official.
"Don't you dare change you mind letter on" she replied slowly and the alpha smile brightened immediately he heard her voice.
She is finally awake ! Thanks to the moon goddess that she finally opened those eye.
"Liliana? Of course I won't change my mind" he responded and immediately hugged her. A smirked appeared on her face as he hug her.
"I missed you so much" he confessed and she smiled brightly.
"I missed you too, your voice won't stop ringing in my head so I had no other choice than to wake up to see your handsome face" she responded and he chuckled.
"Of course, you are our goddess, I can't let you sleep that long. What do you expect me to do when you are lying there pale on this bed ?" He responded and she smiled.
That was exactly what she is to them, their goddess and saviour, nothing less than that.
That is the image she had created for them and they have no other choice than to accept it and adore her.
A knock interrupted them from their discussion, the alpha was not pleased to hear that someone was knocking at the door right now that he was busy with his love and luna to be, but the presence of his beta meant it was something trivial.
"Come in" he instructed and his beta walked in with his head bowed down.
"Alpha she is missing !" He announced.
LAURA'S pOVI slowly opened my eyes and faintly saw a pair of silver eyes peering into mine..My vision was blurry, So I could not see clearly.I forced myself to lie still and tried to piece together exactly what the hell was going on...My whole body was cramping with pain. I closed my eyes hoping to be relieved of the pain but NO it increased drastically."Hey how are you doing?" A cool voice asked and all i can do is just give a small nod which had my neck aching."What's your name?" The same voice asked again..'my name?' I thought. My lips quivered, feeling way too heavy to mutter a word but 'my name? what's my name?' I thought..'Where am i?''How did i get in here?'My vision is being blur plus the terrible pain i'm feeling now mostly from my head.."Hey are you hearing me? Are you okay?" I heard the same voice again..I nodded not able to talk..I tightened my eyes and re-opened it, hoping it will clear my blurry vision.It worked.The first thing i saw clearly was the most han
Laura's POV“Don’t turn” I shouted but it was too late as he had already turned.My gosh!!Instead of shielding my head from slamming on the tiles of the restroom, my hands reach for the blanket to try cover up my nakedness. I don't get to the either of the two, but, as I fell back, a strong arm wrapped around my waist, preventing me from falling. I looked up to see him holding me, but his eyes were closed.He's staring at me, but not staring at me and I wonder how he was able to do that. I"I'm gonna let you go right now-" He said and I nod. "Can you stand on your two feet without tripping again?" He asked.I blushed red immediately, I have no idea why. "Yes" I muttered."Good." He said, raising me up. His arm is still on my waist as he steadied me. When he lets go of me, I frown in sadness, missing the feel of his arm on me. Did I mention I was stark naked when he caught me and I could feel his body heat against mine? That should be the best feeling ever. This is not me, I shouldn
Freya's POVImmediately he sets his foot in, I coil myself on the bed, like I am scared. "She might be a little delirious and unstable. I guess she hit her head hard on the surface." The doctor whispered to him. "Thank you, doctor." He patted the doctor and escorted him out. Immediately he's back inside, I coil myself more. "Hey, hey, I'm not going to hurt you, just calm down." He said, coming close. Immediately he placed his hands on the bed, I flinched, almost falling off the floor. "Careful." He said, pulling me towards the center of the bed. "Don't hurt me, please." I pleaded. "I'm not going to hurt you." He reassured me and I stared up at him. His eyes always seem to enchant me whenever I stare at it. "I don't believe you." I muttered, flinching again when he tried to touch me. "Have I done anything to make you think I would hurt you since you woke up?" He asked and I shook my head. "What made you think I would now?" He asked. "That other white man called you 'Alpha'"
Freya's POVI kept pacing my room till I heard footsteps just outside my room that showed he was back. I quickly pretended that I was in panic and immediately the door opened, I jumped like I was startled. "Hey, I'm back." Ronald said, closing the door behind him. He walked towards me and I backed away in fear. "Freya, you okay?" He asked in concern. I nodded, still backing away from him. His eyes roamed the room and he frowned when he saw how scattered it looked. "What happened here?" Ronald asked and I could sense the anger coming from him. I shook my head "nothing." I muttered, visibly shaking. Ronald stared at me, it was clear I was lying to him and I let it show. Lilian didn't get in Kneed's graces by being strong and confident, she got it by looking pathetic. Men love it when women depended on them"Tell me." He ordered and I shook my head. "What if they come back?" I asked my voice shaking. Ronald took a deep breath, probably to calm himself. "What if who comes back?"
Chapter 12Ronald rushed to my side, concern etched on his face. "Freya, what's wrong? Are you okay?"I clutched my chest, struggling to breathe. "I...I don't know. My heart...it hurts."The maids exchanged worried glances, and one of them stepped forward bravely. "Alpha, should we call the healer?"Ronald nodded, scooping me up in his arms. "Yes, now."As he carried me away, my eyes could not leave his face. I wondered if his act of caring was just another show. I caught the gaze of the maid who had snorted earlier, Her thoughts flooded my mind and I could tell she had a huge crush on him "This is too convenient. She's faking it."I forced a weak smile, trying to reassure Ronald. "I'm fine, really."But he would not let me down. "You're not fine. You're going to see the healer, and we'll figure out what's going on with you, you can’t just cry in pain and expect me to believe you are fine." He snapped The healer's quarters were nearby, and soon I was lying on a comfortable bed, surr
My gaze lifted to meet Ronald's as we both wondered what was happening in the maids quarters. I was the first one to exit the room with Ronald coming behind me. I walked towards the maids quarters and hearing screams all over made it get confirmed that there was something big going on there. I stared at the area and my eyes caught the shattered blue glasses on the floor, scattered everywhere prior to giving injuries to the people around if they were not careful. I moved more closer as I see people gathered around a well. I wanted to ask one of the maids what was going on but Ronald beat me to it. “What's going on here?” He asked as some of the maids turn to face us. “Alpha, someone had fallen into the well and the security guards are yet to arrive” the maid said. “Her mate was with her when it happened and had dropped the glass table on the ground when he wanted to go sought out for help” the maid further explained seeing Ronald staring back and forth at the broken glasses. “
"Laura!!" I heard my name being called out loudly from the stairs."Hello, Aunt!" a big smile formed on my face as I climbed down the stairs to show her how amazing I look in the maid uniform."Are you ready for today?" The woman asked, taking hold of her hand."Sure!" Laura replied, quickly. Taking a step forward, she gave her aunt a tight hug."Thank you, Aunt, for giving me this opportunity." She said, in a meek tone."Aww, stop that. It's been so long and you keep thanking me." Ellen said, breaking away from the hug. Her eyes twinkled as she looked at her niece."I still have to keep thanking you," Laura replied, smiling sheepishly. A year ago, she had run away from her Pack, looking for her aunt. Ellen had taken her in, without any qualms."I need to go, Aunt. I have a meeting with the Alpha." Laura said, stepping away. The eagerness and excitement in her eyes were evident.As a cook in Pack's mansion, she had been summoned by the Alpha due to the event that would be happening th
A large hall was decorated with fine linens and it was colorful.There were Alpha males and females scattered all around, clinking wine glasses and networking.The music was soft to the ears as the host went up to the stage."Attention everyone!" The host called out and everyone turned to look at him."Now, we welcome the Alpha of the Darkl Pack, Kneed Larking!" The host announced and the guests burst into a round of applause.Swiftly and gracefully, Kneed descended the stairs with Lilian by his side. He had a neutral look on his face, while Lilian was all smiles.She looked graceful and she complimented Kneed, so well.As Kneed got to the foot of the stairs, he proceeded to walk up to the stage, still with Lilian by his side."Welcome, everyone..." He started to say. All eyes were on him, however, he wasn't fazed. There were Alpha from different Packs and even enemy Packs. Though he knew some of them were plotting against him, he didn't care."We have gathered here today, to promote

"You are hallucinating, I'll stay with you, Laura I won't leave your side until we figure out what's going on" Dan's expression truned grave with concern but she failed to see the tiny smirk on his lips."Thank you so much Dan for risking your life to help me out, I'm really grateful" Laura sincerely appreciated him, she even that without his help she would have probably died in that prison for the crime she had never committed.Liliana would have have had her way with her if he hadn't come at that time and help her. Her smile brightened up as she stared at him but the smile immediately truned upside down when she saw the srimk on his face."He had really risked his life helping you, didn't he ? Well that a shame" she heard him say and she could immediately tell that he wasn't the Dan she knows. There was an odd thing about the energy he gave snice he came in, it was a dark energy but she failed to recognize it untill now. She stood up swiftly as she watch him still grinning."Who ar
Dan's heart raced as he scooped up Laura's frail body, cradling her in his arms. He could feel her warm blood seeping through his shirt, and her labored breathing sent a chill down his spine. He had to get her out of there, fast. With a surge of adrenaline, he burst out of the dungeon, carrying Laura up the stairs and into the dimly lit psssage way. He didn't stop until they reached the bushy part of the palace, where he gently laid her down beside a tree.Tearing a piece from his clothing, he folded it around her bruised skin causing Laura's eyes to flutter open again. "Dan...thank you," she whispered, her voice barely audible."Don't talk, Laura. Just hang in there. I'll get you beyond the pack land, and you'll be safe," Dan reassured her, his voice trembling with concern.But Laura's gaze was fixed on something beyond him. "Monster...it still out there," she whispered, her eyes clouding with fear.Dan's gripped on her firmly "Don't worry, I won't let her hurt you again. You're safe
