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

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 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

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

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

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 "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

The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 47
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 46
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 45
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 44
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 43
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 42
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
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 41
Laura's POV Richard and I snap our heads towards the direction of the familiar voice. Brandon stands far away from us with his brows furrowed at us in confusion. I gulp a lump down my throat and my cheeks flush red in embarrassment as my mind goes as far as imagining a kiss between I and Brandon. I hastily wave off such thought and force a smile on my face. "Nothing, hi Brandon," I yell with a fake smile plastered on my face as I slowly watch him approach us.“I thought you and Laura were secretly screwing each other." Richard blurts out. I frown and smack Richard by the arm causing him to groan in pain and shoot dagger glares at me."Do not mind whatever Richard says. He had a lot to drink this morning. What are you doing here Brandon?" I ask with a nervous chuckle.Brandon smiles at me and shrugs. "I was passing by and I heard my name come from the dining hall, twice." He states. Oh, I did not realize our voices were that loud.Brandon turns to Richard with a raised brow "Why would
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 40
Laura's POV Richard looks at me like I have grown two heads while I just look back at him with a straight face. I am serious here, I can not afford to lose all the friends I have made here, especially now that I have begun training with Brandon. I am on the path to becoming a skilled fighter and all of that is about to get ruined because of some stupid war or should I say because of Alpha Victor's stupid overprotective attitude. He does not even care about me, he only cares about my super abilities."I am serious here Richard, did you not hear me the first time?" I snap at him with a frown on my face."Wait, are you actually being serious right now Laura? Are you fucking crazy? What makes you think Alpha Victor would listen to you in such a crucial moment? Do you want to kill yourself?" Richard shoots questions at me with his eyes wide open in disbelief at my sudden confidence. I am just as surprised as he is."I am being serious right now. I want to talk to him plus, how would he ki
The Alpha's Prey CHAPTER 39
Laura's POV This time Brandon does not throw punches at my face or any sort. He just asks me to focus on the punching bag. He helps me practice my kicking and punching skills. He also said he would teach me how to use a weapon soon. I enjoyed training with Brandon aside from spending time with him and getting to know him more, he is also a very cool teacher and I think I might be learning a lot.I hope this training can go smoothly without Richard finding out. Speak of the actual devil, he steps into the dining room and meets me munching on a toasted bread. Richard settles down beside me and eyes me weirdly."If you have something to say then just go ahead and say it. I do not enjoy your presence at all and the last thing I want to do is let some random person get on my nerves." I say stuffing a slice of toast down my throat.Richard scoffs and rolls his eyes at me with a small frown on his face. "Random person? Wow, so today I am not Alpha Victor's lapdog but a random person? Laura,
