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

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 POVA frown appears on my face as I finish my breakfast. Things were going smoothly until Richard just had to appear and ruin it all. I keep saying this, he is a real pain in the ass. I can not even tell who is more annoying between him and Alpha Victor.At first, I saw Richard as a reasonable person but now I just think he is someone trapped in Alpha Victor's manipulation. I can not almost blame him for his stupid actions. "Are you done eating my lady?" A deep voice startles me from behind. I turn around to gaze at the culprit and my eyes settle on an unfamiliar face. Messy blonde hair that falls across his face and warm brown eyes. He has a small smile plastered on his face and I have to admit, he has such a charming smile."Who are you?" I ask but then I suddenly remember that Richard said I would be seeing new faces. He must be one of the servants or maybe bodyguards that have been brought to watch over me."Do not worry, just forget I asked such a question. You do not ha
Laura's POVI watch Brandon and Ella walk out of my sight. Not after she bows her head as a form of greeting to me. I suddenly feel suspicious about both of them and I can not stop thinking why Brandon was thanking me for hanging in there. Is he by any chance here to rescue me? Was he sent by someone to come and save me from the captivity of Alpha Victor? No, that is not possible, I am most likely thinking things too far. No one cares about me that much to send someone like Brandon to come rescue me. Even my parents, at least the people I thought were my parents do not even care about me that much for them to hire someone to save me.I wave off such thoughts and rise to my feet. Time to head back to my room and plot my escape plan, I need to be fast about it and do everything I can do to escape from this place before Alpha Victor returns. Unfortunately for me, he did not tell me when he would be returning so I do not know when to expect him. Most importantly I do not know how much tim
Laura'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
