last update Last Updated: 2024-09-30 13:28:26

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. 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 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 POVBrandon turns to gaze at me and to be honest he does not look surprised at all. Ella on the other hand opens her mouth wide in shock as she stares at me in disbelief. I put my hands behind my back and swung myself back and forth as I thought of what to break the awkward silence."Laura? Were you by any chance eavesdropping on our conversation?" Brandon asks scrunching his brows at me with curiosity. I shake my head in disagreement and reply in haste "No." "Well, no offence madam but it pretty much seems like you were eavesdropping on our conversation which by the way I do not think is such a proper thing to do," Ella says and Brandon nudges her shoulder to signal her to keep quiet. This Ella girl has quite a large mouth for a maid. I scoff and raise a brow at her. "Why would I eavesdrop on your conversation with Brandon? What do you think is so special in your conversation that I would want to hear?" I snap at her. Ella shrugs in response but of course, she does not keep

    Laura's POVI nod my head in agreement. I would love to walk with Brandon. He is good company anyway. He walks towards me and turns to me. "After you, my lady." He says bowing his head as a form of respect. I chuckle at him and wave it off. The both of us walk towards the entrance door and the guards lurking around the compound are quite a number of them. I would never be able to escape. They gaze at me and I expect them to question my movement but once they see Brandon around me, they do not say a thing. Wait a second, I think I can escape but with the help of Brandon. If the guards do not mind me around Brandon since Brandon is a guard like them then it only means one thing, they believe I am safe in Brandon's hands. It means I can use Brandon as my means of escape but the only problem is, can I trust him? It is such a huge risk to take and I could end up in a lot of trouble if things do not go as planned. What if Brandon is a secret spy for Alpha Victor? What if he reports every

    Laura's POVI can not stop thinking about last night, i mean walking with Brandon literally made my night. That is almost the nicest gesture someone has done for me since i was left here, it probably is. When he walked me back to my room, I could not stop thinking about him. Not for a single moment, Brandon was on my mind throughtout last night and honestly even up till this morning. I think I might like him. Although I am scared, I am still finding it difficult to trust him. I mean, he has proven to me that he is a good guy but still, I am afraid that it might all just be a pretence and that he might not actually care about me at all, It could be one of Alpha Victor's evil schemes. I want to prove to Alpha Victor that I will not fall for it, I refuse to fall for his evil plans. I step out of the bathroom with water dripping all over my body. I hastily clean myself with a towel and change into a stunning white floral dress. I have to admit that even though Alpha Victor does not trea

    Laura's POVI groan and throw a tantrum as I make my way down the stairs. Goodness, Richard annoys the hell out of me. I have the urge to turn around and just order the maids to allow me to have breakfast in my room but then that would suck because it means I would not be able to see Brandon. I wish to see him this morning and just thank him for yesterday's walk, it may have seemed like nothing to him but it was quite a lot to me. It reminded me of the old days when I was not in the captivity of Alpha Victor. It made me feel free again and I would do anything, absolutely anything to go on another walk with him.I froze in front of the dining hall and Ella was not joking, Richard seemed to be eating quite a lot. I frown at him and walk towards him. "Even if you do not like me, you should at least act considerate for the sake of peace to reign." I snap at him taking a seat far away from him. He disgusts me."I do not understand what you mean by that my lady?" Richard asks stuffing a pa

    Laura's POVI sluggishly step into the garden and join Brandon on the bench outside. The cool breeze pulls my hair sideways but also sends a feeling of comfort. I turn to gaze at Brandon, he has a small smile plastered on his face. "Are you okay?" I ask.I watch Brandon shake his head in disagreement. I sigh heavily and my next actions take him off guard, I pull him into my arms and caress his hair softly. "I know I should not be doing this because your Luna will probably hack my head off if she catches me," I say jokingly and fortunately, I feel Brandon's body vibrate and his laughter echoes."You will be fine, I know you very well. You are a strong man." I mutter as we slowly pull apart. I release a small sigh, suddenly yearning to have him in my arms again. My feelings for Brandon are strong, way too strong to be resisted. I smile at him even though I am afraid, I need to be strong for him."You do not have to pretend to be okay Laura, be like me

    Laura's POV Lieutenant Gavin? Who the hell is that and why does it sound like trouble? I watch Brandon's face fall and a frown grows on Luke's face. "What happened?" Luke asks in a serious tone. I watch him place a hand on Brandon's shoulder and squeeze it tight. Is Brandon okay though? I look at Ella and she looks pretty serious too. I am the only one with a confused look."You might need to see this Sir," Craig says he was the one who pretended to be a driver, he has been pretty nice to me the few times that we have crossed paths with each other. Luke nods his head, he and Brandon begin to follow Craig while Ella and I remain on the spot. "What is going on?" I whisper to Ella but she ignores my question and pulls me by the wrist. "Come on." She drags me. She leads me into a large computer room where Brandon and Luke already are. They seem to be having a serious conversation with each other that they do not even notice the presence of i and Ella.Instead of asking any more question

    Brandon's POV"Are you ever going to get over her?" Luke's annoying voice trails me from behind as I slowly walk down the hallways with a smile on my face. No, I am not smiling at Luke's words but rather at my conversation with Laura. She said she likes me, I told her I like her too, although we have not decided on what to do yet. We decided to give each other time to think more about our feelings.I do not have much to think about though, it is already a fact that I have feelings for Laura, feelings that are beyond my control and it is feelings that I can no longer compress. She pops into my thoughts every day and now I even see her in my dreams at night. I think this is more than just feelings, almost similar to a mate bond."Let me guess you are thinking about her right now." Luke's voice jolts me out of my thoughts and back to reality. I halt in my steps and turn to gaze at him with a frown on my face. "Why are you so obsessed with my feelings dude? Do

    Richard's POV"Where the hell is Laura?" Alpha Victor growls angrily. I watch him clench his fist tight and grit his teeth in anger. His face becomes red and he slowly walks towards me. I shut my eyes close for a brief moment and hope that the ground will open up and swallow me. My entire body shudders in fear and I take many steps backwards until my back is against the wall."Talk to me, you stupid servant!" He yells at me, before I can utter a single word, I feel Alpha Victor grab me by the neck and begin to choke me. At that moment I just wish to shut my eyes and vanish from the face of the earth entirely.I struggle to get out of his grip but I start feeling Alpha Victor's claws dig deep into my neck. I choke out a bitter cry but my sobbing noise is suddenly overshadowed by Alpha Victor's hysteric laughter. I feel his grip on my neck loosen, I slump to the floor in defeat, and my entire body collides with the hard floor."Damn," I mutter a

    Richard's POVAlpha Victor is finally arriving today. My heart races extremely fast in anxiety and I gulp a lump down my throat as I can already imagine the worst. How could I have let myself get tricked by Brandon? I run a hand through my hair in frustration as I pace the living room. My mind drifted to Diana, my only daughter, right before Brandon left, he promised me that Diana would be in safe hands but how could I trust him when he betrayed me by taking Laura?Or was this their plan all along? Laura and Brandon. I always suspected that something was going on between those two and whenever I called Brandon, Laura's boyfriend, she would always deny it. Now I feel like a fool for ever trusting any of them. To think that I was starting to feel pity for Laura, turns out she is just a pathetic liar.I grit my teeth in anger and clench my fist as I think of a perfect explanation to give Alpha Victor. What can I tell him? That I was tricked? That would be ext

    Laura's POVBrandon had come into the gym earlier but he and Luke eventually went out. I and Brandon looked at each other earlier, I felt this spark of electricity in me when I stared. Brandon was looking handsome and hot, the shirt he wore exposed his biceps and muscular physique. I caught some other girls drooling, Ella included.I sigh heavily as I stand awkwardly, I rub my shoulders, my eyes on the door. Eventually, Luke walks in and my face drops when I notice that he is the only one that stepped into the gym. What about Brandon? I thought he was here to train with us. Or did he just come to check on us and then leave?"What about Brandon? What did you say to chase him away?" Ella yells angrily. I guess I am not the only one who needs Brandon's presence, looks like Ella and the other girls are dying to have him around too."Ella, focus. We only have an hour left till training ends. Brandon is outside, you can see him after that." Luke say

    Brandon's POVI run a hand through my hair in frustration as I slowly pace my room. Focus Brandon! Focus! We have a bigger problem at hand, you should not be thinking about your stupid love life or _should I say infatuation_ with Laura.I groan in frustration as my eyes settle on the thirty missed calls from Richard. He has been calling me ever since I took Laura away. I feel sort of bad that Richard would have to face Alpha Victor's fury. I wonder if Richard is still alive. I know that Alpha Victor would have probably tried to kill him.That is why I did Richard a favour when I took his daughter somewhere safer, a place that only I know of. My mind drifts back to Laura, I know that she is hurting so much on the inside. Her fake smile today, her fake laughter, the forced conversation between us. I know that all of that is just a fallacy. If not even a coping mechanism. I am trying to figure out why she is acting that way.Could it be because of the

    Laura's POV I feign confusion when deep down I know why Brandon is asking me this question. I choose to play dumb. "I do not understand what you are talking about. Are you asking me why I am so excited for training?" I ask with a small giggle. Everything is fake though, my feelings are fake because deep down inside of me, I am in fear, sadness and anxiety."Well yeah, that and all..." I know he wants to bring up the kiss again so I interrupt his statement with a loud laughter. I watch Brandon's face fall and his shoulders slump in defeat. "You know me, I have always been a sucker for training. If you can remember while we were still in Alpha Victor's territory." I say.Brandon nods his head slowly, the confusion written on his face is so evident. He slowly walks towards the door. He pauses to cast one last glance at me before bidding me goodbye and walking out of the room. I allow the tears that I have been holding back to flow down my cheeks. I choke out a small cry and slump to th

    Laura's POV Pity? I have never felt so pathetic in my life before like I do right now. Maybe because this is the first time I am getting my heart broken completely. I have never felt this kind of pain before. This throbbing pain in my chest. I place my hand on my chest and grip it tight as I release a small groan. Brandon notices and his eyes twinkle with worry. "What? Are you okay?" He attempts to take a step forward but I stop him immediately by raising my hand in the air. "Do not come close." I pause to add "Please."Surprisingly for me, I do not hate Brandon for his confession. I feel sad, yes. It hurts, yes. But at least he was honest. At least he came out clean. At least he has helped me wake up from my fantasy and focus on reality. I have a big mission ahead of me, I guess I should focus more on that and less on romance. Romance has never exactly been my thing, it was nice that I got to experience it."Laura? Are you mad at me? Even if you are, at least let me help you. You l
