Laura's POV

I 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

  • 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

  • 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 74

    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

  • The Alpha's Prey    CHAPTER 73

    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

  • The Alpha's Prey    CHAPTER 72

    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

  • The Alpha's Prey    CHAPTER 71

    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

  • The Alpha's Prey    CHAPTER 70

    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

  • The Alpha's Prey    CHAPTER 69

    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

  • The Alpha's Prey    CHAPTER 68

    Laura's POV You know that thing where you kiss someone and then it sticks in your memory all night? That is exactly what is happening to me! For some weird reason, Brandon has not left my head, not even for once when I know I am supposed to be worrying about much bigger things like this me being used as a weapon for revenge.I sigh heavily and throw my legs in the air. "Then why did he kiss me if he has a Luna?" I mutter to myself. Subconsciously, my hands reach for my lips and I caress them softly, I begin to smile as I replay the memory of our short yet passionate kiss. Wow! I am indeed very helpless.I clear my throat and snap out of it immediately. Maybe he just got confused? He must have gotten so carried away while I was comforting him. To an extent, I think I understand him. It was all just confusion and it should be that way for me too.It would be extremely wrong to snatch the Alpha from his Luna. I shut my eyes and lay with my head in the direction of the roof ceiling. I ca

  • The Alpha's Prey    CHAPTER 67

    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.

  • The Alpha's Prey    CHAPTER 66

    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
