View MoreLaura's POVI have had enough. "Thank you for your time but I am not interested in having his conversation with you. If you have a problem with I and Brandon's relationship then I advise and suggest that you talk to Brandon about that!" I snap at him. I turn around and begin to walk away from the garden but I suddenly hear the so-called Luke guy yell "Wait."He pauses to sigh heavily "I have something more important to tell you. I only got distracted for a brief moment."Important? I turn to gaze at him with a raised brow. "It had better not have anything to do with Brandon and his love life or else I will walk away from this conversation. I do not care who you are." I say through gritted teeth."My name is Luke and I am Brandon's right-hand man.'" he says. I roll my eyes at him. As if I care."What important thing do you have to say to me? You heard Brandon earlier, I need rest. If you keep disturbing me, I will probably have no rest at all.
Laura's POV“Every day I live with the guilt of my sister's death. I think I killed her. Maybe if I had not said a thing to Alpha Victor that day then nothing would have happened to Chelsea. We would have just escaped together but I was too stupid!" Brandon scolds himself.I notice that his eyes have suddenly become watery. Is that why he sees the need to protect me at all times? Because I remind him of his younger sister."I am such a fucking idiot! A big idiot." Brandon chokes out a bitter laughter and continually facepalms. I sigh heavily, he is hurting so much that I do not even know the right words to say to him.I am speechless so instead, I just pull him into a tight hug. Brandon looks taken aback at first but then he leans on my shoulder and his hands rest on my waist.The feeling of his body on mine sends a warm feeling, the hairs on my skin rise and I want to remain like this forever. Brandon pulls away from our hug. He leans
Laura's POVEver since Ella told me Brandon was only trying to use me. Ever since Brandon's disappearance too, I realized that I might have feelings for him. I do not know if it is too soon to call it a mate bond but I know I have strong feelings for him, one that I can no longer explain.I gulp a lump down my throat and turn around to walk away. My mind keeps telling me to wait and spend more time with Brandon but my body does the exact opposite. I guess sometimes we can not always get what we want."Wait." I suddenly hear Brandon yell. I turn around to gaze at him, although I do my possible best to hide my excitement."Do you uhm...do you want to take a short walk with me?" Brandon stutters, he pauses to rub his neck awkwardly.I hold back the grin that threatens to break on my lips. I need to remain composed and collected so that Brandon does not think that I am behaving strange or worse discover my feelings for him.I clear my thro
Laura's POVI skip into the shower excitedly. I hastily shower and change into comfortable clothes, a pair of blue fitted jeans and a blouse with pretty flowery designs.I grin widely and take a spin around the mirror. A small knock on my door startles me. I know it is Gina so I yell "Come in."Gina steps into the room and the first thing that hits me is the savouring aroma of delicious food. My stomach grumbles loudly as Gina walks towards me with a tray full of food. She places it gently on my bed and smiles at me."Alpha Brandon wants you to eat to your satisfaction. If you are not satisfied please do not hesitate to ask for more and if you want to eat in the dining hall instead, please let me know." Gina says.I smile bashfully, the food is quite enough for me or maybe even too much. I think I also prefer to eat in my room unless Brandon happens to be in the dining room of course. Then I want him to see how stunning I look in my new cloth
Laura's POVI step into the room. My jaw drops and a small gasp escapes from my lips. I stare in awe at how big the room is, it is just like my room back at Alpha Victor's pack house but I think I like this one better, at least I feel safer.I walk towards the queen-sized bed and throw myself carelessly on it. I shut my eyes for a brief moment and imagine Brandon when he was fighting the guards in the van earlier today. I'm not going to lie, he looked handsome and he is so strong. I can not help but admire that.I snap my eyes back open and roll to the other side of the bed. Now I am really concerned, is he doing all of this for me? I did not expect Brandon to put himself in any big trouble with Alpha Victor all because of me.I mean I know how much interest Alpha Victor has in my rare bloodline. If he finds out that I got kidnapped, hell will lose on earth. I know Richard is going to be the one to take all the blame for it, I pity him too.
Brandon's POV"Please," I add with pleading eyes. I look at Laura, she looks so tired from the journey and I honestly feel bad for her. I just wish she listened to me more often. Can I blame her though? I lied to her all this while about my identity.Laura sighs, she turns around and drags her feet towards the room. I watch her push the room door open and step inside.Immediately I am assured that she is inside the room. I turn to Ella with a huge scowl on my face. "What the fuck Ella?" I yell at her."What?" She raises her hands at me in mock surrender."Couples? Revenge? Using Laura as a powerful weapon? Are you fucking stupid? Why did you say all of that crap to her?" I groan in frustration. I pause to run a hand through my hair and rub my neck awkwardly."I was angry! Am I not allowed to be? After all, I followed you to that horrible place and I had to act like a maid for a very long while. Do you think I enjoyed that? Did you both
Laura's POV"What is this place?" I ask with awe as I glare through the gloomy fog, the thickness of it and the extremely mighty wind that pulls my hair back and forth.I shut my eyes for a brief moment and I feel relaxed."This is my pack's hidden lair. We stay here most times when there is a dangerous war at hand. I brought you here because it would be hard for Alpha Victor and Richard to find you, the lair can only be found by a member of my pack." Brandon explains. I find myself nodding my head slowly to his story."Then why is everywhere so dark? I mean it is noon out there yet everywhere is so dark and gloomy here." I state."That is the purpose of a hidden lair. It is protected by a witch from our pack. We discovered her years ago and ever since then our hidden lair has been safe from the eyes of other intruders." Brandon narrates.Oh, that explains everything. I nod my head slowly. "Shall we go inside?" Brandon raises a b
Laura's POVThe journey has lasted for at least two hours now. My entire body hurts from sitting in the same position for too long. I shut my eyes and attempt to sleep for the third time since I got into this van."Do not even think about it!" Richard's harsh voice jolts me out of my thoughts. I grit my teeth in anger and eye him with annoyance. "Why do I have to be awake? Am I the driver?" I whisper-yell at him.Richard scoffs and shakes his head at me, he looks at me with the same look of annoyance. "So what do you think you are? A passenger princess?" Richard retorts.I shoot a dagger glare at him and groan in frustration. I can feel the eyes of the guards on me and Richard as we bicker for the umpteenth time.A beeping noise suddenly echoes from Richard's pocket. I furrow my brows in confusion at him. Richard clears his throat and scoots inches away from me as if he is hiding something.He fetches his phone out of his
Laura's POVSurprisingly all the maids and guards are gathered in the sitting room. Their eyes dart towards me and Richard's direction as we make our way towards them.The guards rush to help me with my luggage. I mutter a word of gratitude to them. An awkward silence befalls all the servants, just at the sight of Richard's presence.My eyes scan through the familiar and unfamiliar faces, hoping that I might see Brandon but I do not catch a glimpse of him. I sigh in disappointment. My eyes accidentally land on Ella. She shakes her head at me in what looks like disappointment.I ignore her stare and watch Richard address the servants. He clears his throat and goes ahead to say. "Everyone, we are all aware of the war at hand, is that correct?" His voice is authoritative and his presence is commanding.The servants in the pack nod their heads and all chorus loudly "Yes Sir.""Alpha Victor desires that his wife be kept safe." Richard
Laura's POVI release a heavy sigh for the umpteenth time and rub my temples in frustration. I pace my room with my eyes roaming space, hoping I will not forget anything at all. My parents are having us move from town for an uncountable amount of time. I have never had a stable life ever since I was born. I can always remember us moving from one place to another for some reason that remained unknown to me up until now that I am eighteen years of age. They should be able to tell me what they think and their plans for me, but no, they would rather just keep me in the darkness where they assumed I belonged.I remember that this is the reason why I never had friends, and I will most likely never have friends. It is because my parents always make us move when I finally get attached to someone.They feel it is nothing for them, but it is a huge deal for me that I have to live up to for the rest of my life. Sometimes, I try to understand them and wonder if it is for my good, but then I real...
