Laura's POV

Brandon 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 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

    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

    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

    Laura's POVSurprisingly all the maids and guards are gathered in the sitting room. 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

    Laura's POV At this point, I do not know what to believe. One moment Ella is telling me that Brandon never cared about me and then the next she says it was all a lie.I pause to scoff and run a hand through my hair in frustration. I am so sick of being played by everyone else. No one takes me or my decisions seriously. Not Alpha Victor, not Brandon, not Richard and not even Ella.I suddenly feel tempted to go back to Richard and tell him I am no longer interested in moving tomorrow. I am all of a sudden feeling regret. I want to speak to Brandon before moving I throw myself and the bed and groan in frustration. I kick my legs in the air and bite my lower lip to hold back the tears that threaten to fall from my eyes. The way my life has suddenly taken a huge turnover since I became Alpha Victor's wife is still quite shocking and incomprehensible. I am a totally different person from how I used to be. I can remember being this happy girl with no worries, yes my family was not perfec

    Laura's POV"The place is not ready yet actually. Some renovations are going on. Alpha Victor wants the security to be tighter." Richard explains, wiping a drop of sweat from his forehead. I scoff and roll my eyes at him. "How is any of that my business?" I fire."Well, what I am trying to say is that you still have a few days to rest at the pack house. We do not have to move now." Richard says. He pauses to rub the back of his neck and eyes me with a look of concern plastered on his face."What I am trying to say is that I want to leave tomorrow. Do I no longer have a choice in this? Should each of my actions be controlled? I can no longer make my own decision?" I snap at Richard. He looks taken aback by my sudden outburst. Richard staggers backwards and raises his hands at me in mock surrender."Calm down Laura. I am not the cause of whatever fight happened between you and your friend so please can you try not to transfer all the aggression

I was deceived by Brandon. Now I truly just want to disappear and never return.It has also been two days and that traitor, Brandon has not shown his face anywhere around here.
