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 "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 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

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

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

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 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,
