last update Last Updated: 2025-01-08 20:21:21

Laura's POV 

My 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 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 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 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 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"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 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 POVI have had enough. "Thank you for your time but I am not interested in having his conversation with you. If you have a problem with I and Brandon's relationship then I advise and suggest that you talk to Brandon about that!" I snap at him. I turn around and begin to walk away from the garden but I suddenly hear the so-called Luke guy yell "Wait."He pauses to sigh heavily "I have something more important to tell you. I only got distracted for a brief moment."Important? I turn to gaze at him with a raised brow. "It had better not have anything to do with Brandon and his love life or else I will walk away from this conversation. I do not care who you are." I say through gritted teeth."My name is Luke and I am Brandon's right-hand man.'" he says. I roll my eyes at him. As if I care."What important thing do you have to say to me? You heard Brandon earlier, I need rest. If you keep disturbing me, I will probably have no rest at all.

    Laura's POV“Every day I live with the guilt of my sister's death. I think I killed her. Maybe if I had not said a thing to Alpha Victor that day then nothing would have happened to Chelsea. We would have just escaped together but I was too stupid!" Brandon scolds himself.I notice that his eyes have suddenly become watery. Is that why he sees the need to protect me at all times? Because I remind him of his younger sister."I am such a fucking idiot! A big idiot." Brandon chokes out a bitter laughter and continually facepalms. I sigh heavily, he is hurting so much that I do not even know the right words to say to him.I am speechless so instead, I just pull him into a tight hug. Brandon looks taken aback at first but then he leans on my shoulder and his hands rest on my waist.The feeling of his body on mine sends a warm feeling, the hairs on my skin rise and I want to remain like this forever. Brandon pulls away from our hug. He leans

    Laura's POVEver since Ella told me Brandon was only trying to use me. Ever since Brandon's disappearance too, I realized that I might have feelings for him. I do not know if it is too soon to call it a mate bond but I know I have strong feelings for him, one that I can no longer explain.I gulp a lump down my throat and turn around to walk away. My mind keeps telling me to wait and spend more time with Brandon but my body does the exact opposite. I guess sometimes we can not always get what we want."Wait." I suddenly hear Brandon yell. I turn around to gaze at him, although I do my possible best to hide my excitement."Do you uhm...do you want to take a short walk with me?" Brandon stutters, he pauses to rub his neck awkwardly.I hold back the grin that threatens to break on my lips. I need to remain composed and collected so that Brandon does not think that I am behaving strange or worse discover my feelings for him.I clear my thro

    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
