Laura's POV

I 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

    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

    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

    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

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
