The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 21
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 22
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 23
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 24
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 25
Laura's POVWhy would Richard not tell me about the cause of the war? Now that I think about it, he has been avoiding that question all this while. It is almost like it has something to do with me, wait, maybe it does. "Come on Richard, I deserve to know what the cause of the war is." I snap at him. I watch Richard rise from the dining chair and dust his hands. He scoffs at me and asks "Who do you think you are Laura? Why do you think you deserve to know the cause of this war?" Richard asks placing both of his hands on his waist and staring at me with a raised brow.I release a heavy sigh and regret what I am about to say but I say it either way. "I am the wife of Alpha Victor, the Luna of this pack. I think I demand an answer to every situation going on around me." I snap at him. Surprisingly for me, a few seconds pass by and Richard does not say a thing. I am about to repeat myself until I am suddenly interrupted by a loud laughter that echoes from Richard's big mouth. He clutches
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 26
Laura's POVI hastily wipe the tears off my cheeks before Brandon can notice it. I turn to gaze at him and force a smile on my face. Although he looks at me with a look of pity on his face, it is almost like he can see right through me.I chuckle nervously and say "You do not have to look at me like that, the look of pity on your face makes me appear pathetic." I say with a small smile plastered on my face. Brandon shakes his head and surprisingly pulls me into a hug. I lean on his shoulder and enjoy the warmth coming from his body. I suddenly feel safe and less worried about anything Richard just said to me."You are not a slave Laura, you are a survivor and I am so proud of you." He says caressing my hair gently. I allow the tears to fall down my cheeks and I nod my head slowly, I am a survivor and not a slave. I need to remind myself of that every day. I can not allow Richard's words or anybody else's words to bring me down. I am glad to know that I at least have one person who is
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 27
Laura's POVBrandon is right. He does have a point. Not everything is centred around me. Plus it is not like I am some kind of special artifact that other packs would want to wage war against Alpha Victor's pack just because of me.Brandon smiles at me, his hands reach for my shoulder and he rubs my shoulder softly. "Do not overthink things Laura, you will be fine." He says. I nod my head in agreement and I am about to say something until someone interrupts us with a loud scoff, I turn around to gaze at Ella slowly approaching us with her usual frown plastered on her face. No offense to her but she is always angry at someone or something. It is almost so impossible to see a smile on her face. It is what makes her and Brandon a lot apart. Brandon is an angel while she is, well she is just there."Sorry to interrupt whatever it is that was going on between the both of you," Ella says with a small cough. I catch Brandon rolling his eyes at her whereas she shoots dagger glares at him. Th
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 28
Laura's POV I stand at that spot with my entire body fidgeting, my legs tremble and my hands shake as my heart races fast in anxiety. The smirk on Richard's face makes me clench my fist tight and grit my teeth in anger, he looks like he is having a lot of fun watching me shake in fear. I suddenly feel a hand on my shoulder, I turn around to gaze at Brandon who gives me a reassuring smile. I return the smile and fix my gaze back at Richard, he has a confused look on his face.Wait, Richard might think something is going on between me and Brandon, this would probably put Brandon in a lot of trouble with Alpha Victor because I am very sure Richard would not hesitate to report everything to Alpha Victor.I slowly push Brandon's hands off my shoulder but my smile remains fixed on my face. I guess Brandon gets the hint because he tucks his hands into his pockets and the smile on his face does not waver either.Richard clears his throat and starts "Hello Everyone, I believe many of us know

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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 36
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 35
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 34
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 33
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 32
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 31
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 30
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 29
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
