last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2024-11-27 18:38:32

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 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 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 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 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

    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

    Laura's POV "Brandon, you are such a fucking idiot and I hope you know that you are going to regret this!" Ella spits at him. She casts one last glance at me before walking out of my room. Damn it! Now I just got Ella angry too. What is wrong with me? Look at how I have turned everything into a mess in just a span of hours. If only I had listened to everyone around me then maybe I would not have caused this mess."Hey hey, Laura. You need to listen to me, alright?" Brandon walks towards me. He places his hand on my shoulder and rubs it gently. I bite my lower lip to hold back the tears that threaten to fall from my eyes. I am going to break down into tears anytime from now, I am just trying my best not to in front of Brandon."From now on, I want you to listen to me. No one else but me. Okay? Listen to just me and only my voice." Brandon says. His eyes flash with pity and concern. I can not help but wonder why Brandon has been so nice to me from the onset. To the extent of him riskin

    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

    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 POVI sluggishly step into the garden and join Brandon on the bench outside. The cool breeze pulls my hair sideways but also sends a feeling of comfort. I turn to gaze at Brandon, he has a small smile plastered on his face. "Are you okay?" I ask.I watch Brandon shake his head in disagreement. I sigh heavily and my next actions take him off guard, I pull him into my arms and caress his hair softly. "I know I should not be doing this because your Luna will probably hack my head off if she catches me," I say jokingly and fortunately, I feel Brandon's body vibrate and his laughter echoes."You will be fine, I know you very well. You are a strong man." I mutter as we slowly pull apart. I release a small sigh, suddenly yearning to have him in my arms again. My feelings for Brandon are strong, way too strong to be resisted. I smile at him even though I am afraid, I need to be strong for him."You do not have to pretend to be okay Laura, be like me

    Laura's POV Lieutenant Gavin? Who the hell is that and why does it sound like trouble? I watch Brandon's face fall and a frown grows on Luke's face. "What happened?" Luke asks in a serious tone. I watch him place a hand on Brandon's shoulder and squeeze it tight. Is Brandon okay though? I look at Ella and she looks pretty serious too. I am the only one with a confused look."You might need to see this Sir," Craig says he was the one who pretended to be a driver, he has been pretty nice to me the few times that we have crossed paths with each other. Luke nods his head, he and Brandon begin to follow Craig while Ella and I remain on the spot. "What is going on?" I whisper to Ella but she ignores my question and pulls me by the wrist. "Come on." She drags me. She leads me into a large computer room where Brandon and Luke already are. They seem to be having a serious conversation with each other that they do not even notice the presence of i and Ella.Instead of asking any more question

  • The Alpha's Prey    CHAPTER 75

    Brandon's POV"Are you ever going to get over her?" Luke's annoying voice trails me from behind as I slowly walk down the hallways with a smile on my face. No, I am not smiling at Luke's words but rather at my conversation with Laura. She said she likes me, I told her I like her too, although we have not decided on what to do yet. We decided to give each other time to think more about our feelings.I do not have much to think about though, it is already a fact that I have feelings for Laura, feelings that are beyond my control and it is feelings that I can no longer compress. She pops into my thoughts every day and now I even see her in my dreams at night. I think this is more than just feelings, almost similar to a mate bond."Let me guess you are thinking about her right now." Luke's voice jolts me out of my thoughts and back to reality. I halt in my steps and turn to gaze at him with a frown on my face. "Why are you so obsessed with my feelings dude? Do

    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

    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

    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

    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
