last update Last Updated: 2024-12-09 14:42:03

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

    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 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 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

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 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. Somehow deep down inside of me, I still want to believe that all that Ella said is a lie.
