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 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
Laura's POVJust like that, it has been five years since I got trapped in this hellhole. Five years since my parents abandoned me in this place for their selfish desires.I cower in the corner of my cell, the cold stone walls closing in on me like a vice. One would have thought that I would have lost count of the days since Victor, the ruthless Alpha, took me captive. The darkness is suffocating, the silence is deafening, and the environment is sickening.I just count my days, and I number them, hopefully waiting for the day my prince in shining armour will come for me and rescue me from the captivity of Alpha Victor.I am a prisoner and this room is my cell, regardless of the fancy decor, the queen-sized bed, the flat-screen television, the wardrobe with fancy clothes in it, and the glass doors that lead to the balcony. Regardless of the fresh air that comes from the balcony, I still feel locked up, and I feel suffocated. I am a pawn in Alpha Victor's game of power and control. My
Laura's POVI stare at myself through the large mirror in front of me, I have a look of disdain on my face as I watch one of the maids apply makeup carefully on my face while the other maid helps me braid my hair into a ponytail and fix decorative hair clips on it.Ever since I got locked up here, I can not help but always look at myself with disdain and disappointment. I have grown to hate myself for being this weak and powerless. I can't look at myself for two minutes straight without wanting to smash the mirror against the wall. I hate myself and my reflection. Most importantly, I hate the reality that I will be stuck here for eternity.The maids finished by helping me dress up like a doll. They all step backwards and allow me to gaze at myself, but I do the opposite of that by just dismissing them off.I rose to my feet and cleared my throat. Just play this game, Laura, and play it right to avoid any more trouble from Alpha Victor. Whenever I stand up for myself, it just feels li
Laura's POV"Marriage? I did not have such a type of deal with you, Victor. You and I never talked about marriage?" I said to him, opening the door to the room I was staying in, slamming it right in his face.How dare he? Marriage? Talk about marriage in front of his siblings when we both never even talked about marriage."It is Alpha Victor to you, and do not dare to speak to me in that tone ever in your life, Laura!" Alpha Victor yells at me, pushing away all the makeup equipment on the vanity and smashing the mirror against the wall in anger. I flinch at the shattering sound of glass, and a piece of glass from the mirror drops in front of me, almost piercing my foot."I will never marry you legally, Victor! Never in my life! Is it not already enough that you have me as your captive!" I yelled back at him, running a hand through my brown hair, flinging away the hair decor on my hair."Five years, Laura! I waited five funky years for you to grow up, yet you are still stuck in that de
Laura's POVI gulp a lump down my throat and the hairs on my skin rise as I turn around to gaze at no one other than Alpha Victor himself. What is he doing here? Did he know about my escape plan? There is no possible way he could have known, I never even made it obvious at all.I look down at the window and cast a glance at Alpha Victor, he just arches his left brow at me waiting for me to make a decision. Do I jump down and probably sprain my ankle or do I give up and accept my fate as it is? Do I accept my fate as the future wife to Alpha Victor? Is that a better option than being stuck in the hospital with a few broken bones? Even if I managed to jump down, I would injure myself which means I would probably be unable to escape and that only means one thing. I go to the hospital and spend some weeks there trying to survive, right after that, I return to my place as Victor's wife.It does not change anything to be very honest, it only postpones the wedding and that does not make me f
Laura's POV Today is the worst day of my life, for other people, they would see today as the best day of their lives, a day to never forget. That is what I am supposed to see today as but it is quite the opposite for me, not exactly since today is a day I will never forget throughout my years of living on earth, not for a good thing but for a really horrible reason. The trauma I have faced is not something I think I can ever recover from. I thought the most horrible day of my life would be the day I lose any of my loved ones but now that I think about it, I do not have any loved ones. My dad and mum that I actually thought I could tag as family betrayed me five years ago. Now I have to bear the consequences of their actions every day of my life. Sometimes, I curse them and wish that they never find peace and on some other days, I just pity them and wish them good luck in whatever they have in mind to do. I on the other hand am stuck with this fate. It is bound to happen."Ma'am, you
Laura's POVThis wedding is not as I had expected it to turn out. Unlike every other wedding where there are a lot of guests flocking around the place, surprisingly the only people present are Alpha Victor's siblings, a supposed priest, The groom himself and then me, the bride. What sort of wedding is this? Although, I remember Alpha Victor telling me to invite anyone I felt like inviting, even though he was being sarcastic because how was I supposed to invite anyone to my wedding when I did not even have a phone or any access to the outside world? I still wonder what everything looks like outside of this prison. My dream is to breathe fresh air again. Plus even if I did want to invite anyone, I knew nobody outside of this place, I would never imagine my dad and mum, those are the last people I would ever think of. After all, they put me in this mess in the first place out of their selfish desire to get out of trouble. Now I have to bear the consequences of their actions, I have to li
