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 POV Ella looks taken aback by my sudden outburst. She staggers backwards and scoffs at me and even before I can apologize, she beats me to it. "Sorry for sticking my nose in what is clearly none of my business." She mumbles."Ella...." I start but she interrupts me with a loud cough. "Excuse me Laura, I have training to get to. Good luck with yours." Ella does not wait for my reply, she turns to the door and slowly walks out of my room ignoring me and yelling her name several times. Damn, if she is pissed then will Brandon be willing to train me? After all, I did get his sister pissed.Anyway, the day passes by so fast and I do my best to ignore Brandon and pretend like we are not on good terms at all. I think I must have acted really well because there was this time today when I stumbled upon a few maids gossiping about me and Brandon, they were talking about how we did not spend any time with each other.It is dawn and I have been able to sneak my way into the training aren

    Laura's POV "Or what Laura? What are you going to do to me? Send the guards my way or report me to your husband?" Ella spits out through gritted teeth. She curls her fist as if she is about to deliver a punch to my face. Ella takes a step closer to me. I gulp a lump down my throat and wonder what is going on. Is Ella my maid about to punch me in the face and is Brandon about to watch his own sister do that to me?"Just kidding." Ella suddenly bursts into laughter. She clutches her stomach tight and laughs at me. I sneak a glance at Brandon expecting an explanation for all of this because things are starting to become crazy and it is beginning to annoy the living shit out of me. Are they even taking me seriously at all? Do they plan to train me at all or not? I need to at least know where I belong so I know what next step needs to be taken."Comic relief," Brandon mumbles raising his hand at me in mock surrender."I am just trying to reduce the tension before Brandon starts teaching y

    Laura's POV I regret ever asking Brandon to come at me. I should have just come clean to him. Brandon lands his fist in my face causing me to stagger backward. My eyes well up in tears and I can taste blood in my mouth. My eyesight becomes blurry causing me to lean on the wall for support while seeing stars."Laura? Are you okay? Fuck, did I go too hard on you?" Brandon's deep voice rings out loud in my ears. I hear him mutter a curse under his breath and I watch him scurry towards my direction. I release a heavy sigh and force a smile on my face."I am okay, never been better." I lie with a fake smile. Although I am sure Brandon can tell just because of how weak I look, a frown appears on his face and he helps me sit on the floor."Laura, I need you to be honest with me. If you want this training to go well then you need to always tell me how you feel." He pauses to place his hand on my shoulder and raises a brow at me. "Do you understand?" I sigh and nod my head in agreement. "Yes

    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,

    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

    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

    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

    Laura's POVTwo days ago, Ella told me everything. She told me the whole truth about Brandon and ever since then, I have felt like a total fool. All these while, I thought the Moon Goddess had finally blessed me by sending a companion or at least someone I thought I could call a friend but turns out, that all of that was just a fallacy. 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. Somehow deep down inside of me, I still want to believe that all that Ella said is a lie. A part of me is still holding out for Brandon and waiting for him to come to me and confess that he truly cares about me.Two days have also passed, and Richard has returned to the pack house, although he has been in his room ever since he returned. I plan to see him today, not just to apologize but because I have also made my decision that I will move to

    Laura's POV"What are you then?" I ask Ella with my eyes wide open in horror. Ella chuckles at the look on my face. She rolls her eyes at me and says "Why are you worried that I might be the Luna?" She raises a brow at me."Please tell me that you are not the Luna." I retort flashing her pleading eyes while deep down inside of me, I pray to the Moon Goddess that Ella is not the Luna of the Evermore pack. If she is, then I would hate Brandon for eternity. I am already pissed at him for not telling me all of this. It means he never really took me as a friend for him to have to hide all these things from me. I am very sure he was the one who told Ella to keep it a secret from me too. It means Brandon does not trust me at all. I trusted him but he never trusted me and I am so stupid for just realizing all of that now. Our friendship was one-sided and I hate to admit that."I am not the Luna of Evermore pack." Ella blurts out. I release a heavy sigh of relief a

    Laura's POV"That is not my story to tell. Why do you not ask Brandon that when you see him for yourself?" Ella asks. I shake my head in disagreement. I will not settle for Brandon's answer because I know Brandon will never tell me the truth. All he does is lie, he has been lying to me now so what is the assurance that he will tell me the truth now? I would rather hear from Ella myself."Are you sure about that? I mean, who knows when I will get to see Brandon? Plus, are you not the one that asked me to disappear? If you want me to disappear fast, you need to at least tell me what I want." I say in a defiant tone. Ella scoffs. She shakes her head at me and points to the dining chair."Sit and I will tell you everything," Ella says. I nod my head at her and make my way towards the dining chair. My heart races extremely fast as I brace myself for what I am about to hear from Ella. I feel like she has quite a lot to confess and I can not help but feel anxious

    Laura's POVI brush past Ella and make my way up the stairs but she suddenly grabs me by the wrist and pulls me backward. I almost trip and fall but I hastily hold onto the wall for support. I turn to gaze at her with a scowl on my face. "What is wrong with you? I could have gotten hurt from falling?" I yell at her."Can you not just get lost? Huh?" Ella asks, this time it looks like she is pleading with me to get lost. What has gotten into her? Why is she being this way towards me?"How about you just leave me the heck alone, Ella." I snap at her but she grabs my wrist and holds onto it tight. "Come on, Laura. You know all of this is your fault. You are so fucking stubborn and you never listen to anyone. All of this is your fault so just save the stress and disappear! Just disappear for good and never return!" Ella yells at me, this time with tears flowing down her cheeks. This feels like my first time seeing Ella cry and I can not help but feel bad

    Laura's POVMy next action takes Ella off guard. I snatch the glass of water from her hand and splash the liquid over her face. She gasps loudly and mutters a cuss under her breath and I seize that opportunity to push the door open and run out of my room, not after yelling "Sorry" at her.I make my way down the stairs but I can hear Ella's footsteps trailing behind me. I immediately get the hint that I need to pick up my pace. I must save Brandon, he does not deserve this at all. As I get closer to the dining room where the noise seems to be coming from, the shrieking noise and thudding noise becomes even louder. My goodness, what is Richard doing to Brandon?"Laura, wait. That is not Brandon in trouble." Ella yells but it is too late. I arrive in the dining room and to my uttermost surprise, she is right. Brandon is not the one getting his ass kicked, instead, it is Richard.A group of men dressed in black suits surround Richard. One of them

    Laura's POV"Get up Laura, I am ready to sleep!" Brandon whines. I ignore and ponder deeper on why and how Richard got to work for Alpha Victor. I mean for him to have become Alpha Victor's right-hand man then that means he must have been by Alpha Victor's side through thick and thin for years. It does not seem as if Richard was a captive, rather it feels like Richard willingly offered himself as a tribute to be Alpha Victor's right-hand man."So how were you able to reach Richard's family? Why did you even do it in the first place? How did you not get into trouble with Alpha Victor for helping Richard?" I throw questions at Brandon with curiosity laced in my tone. Brandon on the other hand seems to be more focused on sleeping."I do not know Laura. It just happened and that is all I can tell you. Plus why does that matter anyway? It is good news that I will not be getting into trouble with Richard so you should be concerned about that and less about what

    Laura's POVJust like that, it is nighttime already. Surprisingly for me, Richard has not come to look for me or Brandon. As a matter of fact, no one has come to look for Brandon. It is a bit shocking and strange. Where is Richard? Is he okay? Is he taking any punishments from Alpha Victor right now? I hope Richard does not tell Alpha Victor about Brandon though or else that would worsen the case. Alpha Victor could come back just to wreak havoc."Richard is going to be okay, he is a strong man," Brandon says. As if he can read my thoughts. I watch him sitting comfortably on the couch with a book in his hand. I had insisted earlier that he take the bed and I take the couch, he did not refuse though. He just said he was not ready to sleep yet."How are you so sure about that? Everyone has their weak moments especially when it has something to do with the ones we love the most." I state with a heavy sigh. How is he holding up? How has he been coping ever sin

    Laura's POV What? Did Brandon just say he wants to spend the night with me? My cheeks flush red in embarrassment and my legs begin to tremble. Or wait, did I even hear him right? A part of me wishes I heard him right while the other part is just too embarrassed to process it."What?" I ask with my eyes widened in shock."Oh, you did not hear me. Maybe I would need to say that a lot more louder." Brandon mutters the last statement to himself with a grin plastered on his face. He seems to be enjoying this, teasing me. He walks towards me and leans closer to whisper into my ears "Can I spend the night with you?" Damn, his hot breath dangles around my bare skin, giving me goosebumps and the warmth coming from his body close to mine makes my heart skip a beat."No." I blurt out. Brandon pulls away and gazes at me with a look of shock plastered on his face. "No, like no you are not interested?" He asks with a raised brow. I release a heavy sigh and this time, I have to let go of his wrist
