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
Laura's POV"Now leave this room this minute before I get annoyed 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.

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 POVAlpha Victor has only been gone for a day yet I feel so free and relaxed. No nagging from anyone, I have felt peace and to be honest I never imagined that I would be able to feel this way before.I change into comfortable clothes and step out of my room for breakfast, I am so glad that I will not be having breakfast in my room. It feels like the good old days when I was not a prisoner, just a normal girl living the simple life of a werewolf.I walk past some maids who bow their heads as a form of greeting to me of which I return the greetings with a big smile plastered on my face. I bet they can easily tell the real reason behind my happiness. Anyone should be able to, I mean they all know how ruthless and harsh Alpha Victor has been to me over the past few years. They can try to hide it and pretend to love him but deep down in their hearts, they know the real truth.I settle on the dining chair and gaze at the delicacies presented in front of me. I am about to dive right
Laura's POVJust like that, it is nighttime already. Surprisingly for me, Richard has not come to look for me or Brandon. As a matter of fact, no one has come to look for Brandon. It is a bit shocking and strange. Where is Richard? Is he okay? Is he taking any punishments from Alpha Victor right now? I hope Richard does not tell Alpha Victor about Brandon though or else that would worsen the case. Alpha Victor could come back just to wreak havoc."Richard is going to be okay, he is a strong man," Brandon says. As if he can read my thoughts. I watch him sitting comfortably on the couch with a book in his hand. I had insisted earlier that he take the bed and I take the couch, he did not refuse though. He just said he was not ready to sleep yet."How are you so sure about that? Everyone has their weak moments especially when it has something to do with the ones we love the most." I state with a heavy sigh. How is he holding up? How has he been coping ever sin
Laura's POV What? Did Brandon just say he wants to spend the night with me? My cheeks flush red in embarrassment and my legs begin to tremble. Or wait, did I even hear him right? A part of me wishes I heard him right while the other part is just too embarrassed to process it."What?" I ask with my eyes widened in shock."Oh, you did not hear me. Maybe I would need to say that a lot more louder." Brandon mutters the last statement to himself with a grin plastered on his face. He seems to be enjoying this, teasing me. He walks towards me and leans closer to whisper into my ears "Can I spend the night with you?" Damn, his hot breath dangles around my bare skin, giving me goosebumps and the warmth coming from his body close to mine makes my heart skip a beat."No." I blurt out. Brandon pulls away and gazes at me with a look of shock plastered on his face. "No, like no you are not interested?" He asks with a raised brow. I release a heavy sigh and this time, I have to let go of his wrist
Laura's POV "Brandon, you are such a fucking idiot and I hope you know that you are going to regret this!" Ella spits at him. She casts one last glance at me before walking out of my room. Damn it! Now I just got Ella angry too. What is wrong with me? Look at how I have turned everything into a mess in just a span of hours. If only I had listened to everyone around me then maybe I would not have caused this mess."Hey hey, Laura. You need to listen to me, alright?" Brandon walks towards me. He places his hand on my shoulder and rubs it gently. I bite my lower lip to hold back the tears that threaten to fall from my eyes. I am going to break down into tears anytime from now, I am just trying my best not to in front of Brandon."From now on, I want you to listen to me. No one else but me. Okay? Listen to just me and only my voice." Brandon says. His eyes flash with pity and concern. I can not help but wonder why Brandon has been so nice to me from the onset. To the extent of him riskin
Laura's POVBrandon pulls me up the stairs without saying a single word to me. I hear Richard yell our names several times but we both choose to ignore him, well the reason I choose to ignore him is because of Brandon. He does not say a word and neither do I. We freeze right in front of my room door, Brandon pushes the door open, drags me into my room and shuts the door behind us.He lets go of my wrist and leans on the door, he releases a heavy sigh and rubs his head in frustration. I gulp a lump down my throat and bow my head low, prepared to hear him yell at me. Tears well up my eyes and I bite my lower lip to try my best to stop myself from bursting into tears. That would only make it seem like I am trying to play the victim here and I have no right to do such. I am the cause of all of this and I should be able to own up to my own mistakes not hide from them.So I prepare and patiently wait for Brandon to yell at me and tell me "I told you so but
Laura's POVI watch Richard place the phone close to his mouth and utter his words slowly "It is Laura, she wants to speak to you about moving." Richard blurts out. Alpha Victor goes quiet, my heart begins to race extremely fast and my eyesight becomes blurry. I stagger backwards and hastily lean on the wall for support as Richard stretches the phone out in my direction."Let her speak, I am all ears." Alpha Victor says through gritted teeth. I do not know what to say. I can not believe I even thought of holding an actual conversation with Alpha Victor. I guess it is because I have forgotten how scary and abusive he is but with the way I have seen him speak to Richard, I am reminded of all of his abusive actions towards him and I suddenly do not want to speak to him anymore. I am willing to move, I have accepted my fate just as it is and I am ready to move. I will go anywhere and do anything he asks of me."You heard Alpha Victor, Laura
Laura's POV What is wrong with me? I am so frustrated right now and everything seems to be messing with my head and making me act up. First, I am asked to n9t participate in the training and as if that is not already enough hassle, the people I expected, rather than the person I expected to stand by me did the exact opposite by asking me to leave. Fine, as if that is not already a big problem. Richard here tells me I am selfish and self-centred just like Alpha Victor but nobody understands that I have learnt to survive, nobody understands what I have been through. Throughout those five years, under the captivity of Alpha Victor, I was treated like a slave. Nothing good ever happens to me when I choose to place others above myself. All I get in return is bad luck which is why I have decided to protect myself at all costs.I do not care if I am categorized as selfish or self-centred. As long as I am protecting myself then I will accept those words. After all the people judging me are t
Laura's POV "Goodbye!" I yell at her. I push Ella out of the way and slowly begin to walk away but I hear Ella yell something really loud and meaningful which causes me to freeze in my steps and turn to gaze at her."Put yourself in Brandon's shoes and try to comprehend what I am talking about." Those were her words. I raise a brow at her but surprisingly she just ignores me, she brushes past me and begins to walk away. Wow, she is sassy but that aside, she does have a point. Brandon is a mere guard and he has already risked so much for me. I am sure if he dared to say anything to Richard like plead with him to make me stay, it could put him in trouble. It is already enough that stupid Richard thinks I and Brandon are screwing each other.I shudder at the thought of that and hastily brush it off. Brandon is not at fault for anything but that does not mean I would stop here. That does not mean I would agree to leave this place. I understand Brandon if he does not want to defend me or
Laura's POV I suddenly feel bad and I feel like Brandon may have had a point when he said I was overreacting. The truth is I am just scared of starting over again with a different set of people, new faces and new environment. Everything just scares me. I never thought I would say this but with Alpha Victor's absence, Brandon, Ella and even Richard. With them, this place has been bearable for me. I can not say I entirely like it here because Richard still pretty much pisses me off most of the time but what I can say for sure is that this place is not as bad as it used to be a few weeks back.I can remember how I used to cry my eyes out a lot when I first moved here, I was abused and I was naive too. I missed my parents and each day I wondered what would have happened to me, how my life would have been if my parents did not have to sell me off just like that to Alpha Victor.Would my life have been any better? Less miserable maybe. What would I have become? Would I still be living unde
Laura's POV I stare at Brandon in disbelief and I can not comprehend how easy it was for him to make that decision to ask me to leave. Does that mean this is how Brandon has always felt? Did he always secretly want me to be gone? Have I always been a burden to him? Wait, that means he never actually saw us as friends and all of that was just pretence.I gulp a lump down my throat and stagger backwards in shock as everything slowly begins to become clearer in my head. Brandon is just like everyone else in this packed house. "You do not have the authority to tell me what to do Brandon! You are just a mere guard like every other guard in this packed house! I suggest you respect me and stick to your position!" I yell angrily.Brandon looks taken aback by my sudden outburst and so does Richard. Although Richard seems to be enjoying it because he looks like he is about to burst into serious laughter. He clutches his stomach tight and his face becomes red, in less than a minute he can no l
