Laura's POVI change into a yellow sunflower dress and pack my hair into a tight bun. I gaze at myself in the mirror and notice how stunning I look. Alpha Victor does not deserve to gaze at this beauty that I possess. He does not deserve it at all. I sigh and wave off such thoughts. I make my way towards my room door and step out of the room. I slam the door behind me and climb down the stairs. I freeze in front of the dining hall and I hear indistinct chattering noise coming from the dining hall. I scrunch my brows in confusion and wonder who else could be joining us for breakfast. Did Alpha Victor invite someone else to join us for breakfast? I shrug and push the door open wide making Alpha Victor and his right-hand man, Richard turn their gaze towards my direction. They watch me walk into the dining hall and settle down on the empty seat beside Alpha Victor."Good morning," I mumble to Alpha Victor ignoring the stare that the both of them give me. I turn to Richard and smile at him
Laura's POV I can not stop thinking about such a thing Richard said. Exploit my powers? What powers do I have that make me different from every other werewolf? What is it that no one is telling me about? Each day, I just figure out new things about myself. It always leaves me confused by the day and I keep asking myself this question. Who am I? Do I really know myself? Is there more to myself that I do not know about? I release a heavy sigh and attempt to turn away from the dining hall before I get caught eavesdropping on Alpha Victor and Richard's conversation. I turn around and I am about to leave but I hear Richard say something that makes me freeze in my steps."Her rare bloodline, it is not something I have ever seen or heard of before. Her blood is powerful enough to destroy the whole werewolf world. I have to say, Alpha Victor, you are lucky to have her on your side." Richard says.Rare bloodline? Me? Do I have a rare bloodline? Is that really why Alpha Victor wants me? To use
Laura's POVRichard walks around my room and places his hands at his back like an investigator searching for something. I gaze at him with a raised brow. Why does he feel so comfortable here as if this is his room or something? I did not even welcome him here in the first place. I sigh and turn to him. "What exactly did you say you wanted Richard? I am very sure that Alpha Victor would not be happy to see you here at all.' I say with a small frown on my face. I need my space to think right now and unfortunately for me, Richard just had to show up in the picture. So annoying."I thought I already told you. I want to know what your next move is Laura. Are you going to plan to escape again?" Richard asks. I scoff and shake my head at me. "Why should I even tell you what my next plan is?" I fire at him."Oh, so you do have a plan?" Richard asks turning to gaze at me with a small smile plastered on his face. The smile on his face gives me the creeps because it does not look like a genuine
Laura's POVIs it really worth it or is it just my curiosity getting the best of me? I should be really careful in times like this to not make the wrong decision and end up regretting it. This is not the time for mistakes. I need to think deeply about things before actually going ahead to act. I run a hand through my hair in frustration. I look up to gaze at Richard but surprisingly he already has his eyes on me with an impatient look on my face. I want to ask for more time to decide but the impatient look on Richard's face is enough to make me understand that whatever reason why he wants Alpha Victor's phone is for a really urgent reason. Although, it is worth a try. I should ask if Richard can give me till the end of the day to think, I should be able to use the rest of today to figure out why Richard wants that phone. If it is for a good cause or not. I attempt to open my mouth and ask for more time but it is as if Richard already read my mind and knows what I am about to ask for b
Laura's POV"Let us talk Laura." Alpha Victor says settling down on the couch. He points to the couch in front of him and gestures for me to sit on it. I shake my head in disagreement and drop the glass of water on the centre table."I think I would rather just stand my Lord," I say fiddling with my hands awkwardly. Alpha Victor shakes his head in disdain at me and crosses his legs. "You know what I hate the most Laura. I hate it when I am being disobeyed. Now sit before I make you sit!" Alpha Victor roars in anger. I do not waste any more time, I hastily settle down on the couch and act appropriately. I do not want to get on his nerves right now. That is the last thing I need at this moment. Alpha Victor is a very complicated person, I do not want to push things any further."I am sorry my lord. I did not mean to anger you, Sir." I say. Alpha Victor just rolls his eyes in response and gestures for me to go ahead and start talking. I clear my throat and adjust my posture on the couch.
Laura's POV"Now get out of my room this minute before I get angry and punish you!" Alpha Victor yells letting go of me. I hastily jerk off my feet and scurry out of the room. I almost trip on an object on the floor but I hastily lean on the wall for support. I push the door wide open and scurry out of the room. Immediately I step out, Richard appears right in front of me almost startling me. He has a confused look on his face."What happened? I heard Alpha Victor yell loud." Richard asks with a frown on his face. I place my hand on my temple and release a heavy sigh while leaning on the door. I am about to ignore Richard and brush past him when I hear Alpha Victor growl loud and the next sound that accompanies his growl is a shattering noise. I immediately knew that it was the glass cup that had water in it earlier, he must have smashed it. I shiver in fear but Richard does not, he is probably used to it already. He does not was

I immediately knew that it was the glass cup that had water in it earlier, he must have smashed it. I shiver in fear but Richard does not, he is probably used to it already. He does not waste any more time since he does not get an answer from me,
Laura's POVLast night I could barely sleep without thinking about all that Richard said. He mentioned something like I am not the only one with a sad story, he said it like he had gone through something way worse than this. I have a feeling that Richard might be a captive like me and he might have wanted to contact his family. Could that have been the reason why he wanted to steal Alpha Victor's phone? That only explains it. However, I can not help but wonder how long he has been in the captivity of Alpha Victor for him to have become Alpha Victor's right-hand man and most trusted one. Anyway, I picked up a few things from what Richard said. He is right, everyone has a sad story and has probably chosen to live with it for the rest of their lives but I refuse, I refuse to be like everyone else especially when I know I have a family outside here, my real parents are probably waiting for me. I refuse to be held captive and submit myself as a slave to Alpha Victor. I refuse to crown the
Laura's POV "Or what Laura? What are you going to do to me? Send the guards my way or report me to your husband?" Ella spits out through gritted teeth. She curls her fist as if she is about to deliver a punch to my face. Ella takes a step closer to me. I gulp a lump down my throat and wonder what is going on. Is Ella my maid about to punch me in the face and is Brandon about to watch his own sister do that to me?"Just kidding." Ella suddenly bursts into laughter. She clutches her stomach tight and laughs at me. I sneak a glance at Brandon expecting an explanation for all of this because things are starting to become crazy and it is beginning to annoy the living shit out of me. Are they even taking me seriously at all? Do they plan to train me at all or not? I need to at least know where I belong so I know what next step needs to be taken."Comic relief," Brandon mumbles raising his hand at me in mock surrender."I am just trying to reduce the tension before Brandon starts teaching y
Laura's POV Ella looks taken aback by my sudden outburst. She staggers backwards and scoffs at me and even before I can apologize, she beats me to it. "Sorry for sticking my nose in what is clearly none of my business." She mumbles."Ella...." I start but she interrupts me with a loud cough. "Excuse me Laura, I have training to get to. Good luck with yours." Ella does not wait for my reply, she turns to the door and slowly walks out of my room ignoring me and yelling her name several times. Damn, if she is pissed then will Brandon be willing to train me? After all, I did get his sister pissed.Anyway, the day passes by so fast and I do my best to ignore Brandon and pretend like we are not on good terms at all. I think I must have acted really well because there was this time today when I stumbled upon a few maids gossiping about me and Brandon, they were talking about how we did not spend any time with each other.It is dawn and I have been able to sneak my way into the training aren
Laura's POV I sigh in disappointment but at the same time, I know that Richard is at least telling the truth. I know that rule was from Alpha Victor and I know the reason behind thfrustratedt is because he does not want me to exploit my rare abilities. What a shame to him though because with enough training from Brandon, in no time I would be able to fight and escape out of this prison cell.I turn to look at Richard who now has an impatient look on his face. He taps his leg against the floor and mumbles something to himself. "Richard, I think you should leave now. You and I have nothing to discuss again." I say walking towards my bed and throwing myself on it. I shut my eyes close for a brief moment and when I open them, I still see Richard standing there with a small frown on his face."What are you still doing here?" I snap at him with an equal frown on my face. Why is he exhausting the little strength in me that I plan to keep for training with Brandon? Richard is a real pain in
Laura's POV Well, It seems I might have to tell Richard the truth. At least it is better than being accused of cheating with Brandon. Richard is crazy and he could go as far as telling Alpha Victor that I have been sleeping with Brandon. I know the extent of how far Richard can go. Plus he does not exactly like me so that is an even bigger motive to get rid of me so easily."What big favour Laura? To help you get out of the pack house? If that is the favour then it is a pretty stupid one." Richard says shaking his head at me in disdain. I shake my head in disagreement. I clear my throat and lean closer to Richard "I asked him to train me since you refused to let me partake in the general training." I say.Richard eyes me suspiciously. He does not seem to buy that lie but the truth is that it is not a lie. That is exactly what I asked Brandon so he just has to accept the truth how it is and move on. "I am serious. I badly want to train too so I could not think of anyone else I could
Laura's POV I stare at Richard and fight the urge to laugh at his jumpsuit. I raise a brow at him and gesture him to speak up but he just stares at me with an equally raised brow. Since he will not do the talking then I will."You really need to learn how to knock, Or better still just do not come near my room if you are not willing to learn basic manners!" I snap at him with a scowl on my face. Richard just scoffs in response. He takes a few steps backwards and furrows his brows at me. "Manners? Are we talking about manners right now Laura?" Richard yells at me. How dare he? As a matter of fact, in my room? Who gave him such effrontery?"Yes Manners. I am talking about manners which you clearly lack because if you did not then you would have knocked like a normal gentleman should do when standing in front of a lady's door!" I yell back at him."You are one to talk too much Laura, are you not the same one who called me a lapdog? Huh? You really want to keep talking about manners?" Ri
Laura's POV I jerk off my bed and stare at Brandon with my eyes wide open. Is this a dream? This had got to be a dream because I remember Brandon telling me that he needed time, he said he needed time to think about things so what in the world is he doing in my room? Before I get too excited, I use the back of my palm to rub my face and I pinch myself hard in the arm. Wake up, Laura!"This is not a dream. I mean it, I am ready to train you. I want to." Brandon says with a small smile playing on his lips. Wow, so this is reality! For once, I was getting what I wanted."Really? Why? What changed? I thought you said you needed time." I say with a big smile. I clench my fist tight and fight the urge not to scream out loud in excitement."Well, do you still think I need time because I could turn around and go back to think about my response," Brandon says with a small shrug."No!" I say immediately. Brandon chokes out a small laugh and shakes his head at me. "You are so silly Laura but yo
Laura's POV "If I heard you very correctly, you want me to teach you? I mean train you?" Brandon asks with a surprised look on his face. He raises a brow at me and his lips are curled into a small frown. I nod my head at him with a big smile playing on my lips."Yes!" I say excitedly. I should not be so excited though, after all, he has not even agreed to train me yet so why am I getting myself so worked up?"Is that not against Alpha Victor's orders then? I mean I could get into trouble for it right?" Brandon asks rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. I release a heavy sigh and nod my head in agreement, of course, I forgot to mention the consequences to him."Well, technically that is if we get caught and I doubt we will. I will make sure we are very careful about it." I say giving Brandon a reassuring smile and silently hoping in my heart that he agrees to it. I can not think of anyone else but him. If he does refuse to train me then I am screwed!"Still Laura, everyone aroun
Laura's POV Richard has just given me a very good idea. I mean I never actually thought of meeting a guard privately and asking them to train me. I have a feeling that the real reason Richard did not want me to train with the others or should I say, not to train at all is because it has something to do with my special abilities. Maybe somehow, the more I train, the stronger I become. A smirk settles on my lips as I think of the one person I can reach out to, the one person who can help me train without any conditions. Brandon. I and Brandon can train in secret and I am very sure that Brandon would not tell Richard anything. Wait, am I trusting Brandon too much? I should be careful but at the same time, I do not exactly have much of a choice. If training is going to help me become stronger then I need to do just that. I walk out of the chamber hall and make my way to my room. I freeze in my steps when I see Ella engrossed in a conversation with one of the maids."Ella? Can I have a w
Laura's POV "Wait, why? What do you mean Alpha Victor has ordered me not to train with everyone else? I was already looking forward to it." My last sentence comes out as a mere whisper but I am sure Richard was able to grab it since he is standing close to me."I mean exactly what you think I mean Laura. It is straight orders from Alpha Victor. What do you expect me to do or would you like to have a conversation with him about it? I can hand you the phone if you like." Richard snaps at me. I roll my eyes at him and scoff in disbelief."Seriously though. Can I at least get special training or something?" I mumble. Richard looks at me with a rather surprised look on his face. He looks taken aback by my sudden request and I can not help but wonder why."What? Why do you suddenly look so surprised?" I ask. Richard shakes his head at me in disdain and says "Wait, you think you deserve special training just because somehow you have some special abilities?" "Well, that is not what I meant
