2024-08-22 20:24:34Laura's POV
I gulp a lump down my throat and the hairs on my skin rise as I turn around to gaze at no one other than Alpha Victor himself. What is he doing here? Did he know about my escape plan? There is no possible way he could have known, I never even made it obvious at all.
I look down at the window and cast a glance at Alpha Victor, he just arches his left brow at me waiting for me to make a decision. Do I jump down and probably sprain my ankle or do I give up and accept my fate as it is? Do I accept my fate as the future wife to Alpha Victor? Is that a better option than being stuck in the hospital with a few broken bones? Even if I managed to jump down, I would injure myself which means I would probably be unable to escape and that only means one thing. I go to the hospital and spend some weeks there trying to survive, right after that, I return to my place as Victor's wife.
It does not change anything to be very honest, it only postpones the wedding and that does not make me feel any better. As long as the wedding holds, my life will forever be miserable.
"Laura darling, are you not going to get out the window and come to me?" Alpha Victor's cold voice sends shivers down my spine and causes me to feel irritated by the authority and command coming from his tone. He is so full of himself and it is what makes me hate him a lot.
Hate is not an understatement, I do not like his guts at all.
I slowly jump out of the window and lean on the wall with my hands shielding my face in case of any attack that might come from Alpha Victor. I do not expect him to take things so easy with me, he will me tonight, I just need to be lucky enough to dodge whatever hit comes my way.
"Laura, come to me. You can not keep me standing here for too long." Alpha Victor snaps at me. I bite my lower lip to hold back the tears that threaten to fall from my eyes and I whimper in fear at what I have gotten myself into. I hate my life and how miserable it becomes by the day. I should have never tried to escape, what was I thinking? Half of me knew it was not going to work yet I gave it a shot, I do not know why I did that but now I am suffering from the consequences of my actions. What hurts the most is that I never actually got to achieve my plan.
"Laura! Do not make me repeat myself twice!" Alpha Victor yells in a harsher tone. He grits his teeth at me and narrows his eyes towards my direction. I sluggishly drag my feet towards Alpha Victor and I freeze in my steps a few inches away from him.
"Here, I am Sir...I..." Alpha Victor does not let me complete my sentence, he cuts me halfway with a hard slap on my right cheek. I grip my right cheek tight and burst into tears as I can no longer hide or control the agony that comes from Alpha Victor's hard palm colliding with my face.
"What dumb excuse do you have to give Laura? Who the hell do you think you are and how dare you try to escape from your husband's house?" Alpha Victor yells at me, he grabs me by the neck and chokes me tight. I choke out a small cry and struggle to get out of his grip but it is way too hard for me. I just give up and shut my eyes close. I accept whatever happens to me next but surprisingly, Alpha Victor lets loose of his grip on my hand, he flings me onto the bed and thankfully my back meets with the soft foam. I flutter my eyes open and stare at Alpha Victor with tears twinkling in my eyes at what his next action could be. He slowly walks towards me and I use that opportunity to go on my knees and beg for forgiveness because well, I do not want him to inflict any furthermore fear on me.
"Please, Sir. Please forgive me, sir. Everything is my fault. Forgive my ungrateful self." I cry out loud pleading but none of that gets to Alpha Victor, it is like his heart is made out of stone. Even after all my pleas, Alpha Victor just waves it off and a smile appears on his face, a mischievous smirk rather and that is enough to alert me that Alpha Victor is up to no good.
I stop pleading and watch him settle down on the bed close to me, his hands reach for my face and he caresses my cheeks softly. I flinch at the feeling of his touch on me. His hands are cold and so is his soul.
"Laura darling. Do not make me continue to hit you. Our wedding is soon, do you want all the guests to know that I beat you at home?" Alpha Victor asks. His question is obviously rhetorical and if I dared to reply, Alpha Victor would have my head on a plate and sent back to my family. I would rather just act like a fool and accept whatever insult comes my way.
"Do not look stoic and stiff. You need to be energetic Laura. I hate it when we fight you know?" Alpha Victor raises a brow at me whereas I just stare at him while speechless of words.
"I honestly hate that we have to fight all the time Laura. I am sure you do not like it too so try to make me happy Laura, do your possible best to stay out of my trouble, and do not do things to piss me off like trying to escape from my own home.

Laura's POV Today is the worst day of my life, for other people, they would see today as the best day of their lives, a day to never forget. That is what I am supposed to see today as but it is quite the opposite for me, not exactly since today is a day I will never forget throughout my years of living on earth, not for a good thing but for a really horrible reason. The trauma I have faced is not something I think I can ever recover from. I thought the most horrible day of my life would be the day I lose any of my loved ones but now that I think about it, I do not have any loved ones. My dad and mum that I actually thought I could tag as family betrayed me five years ago. Now I have to bear the consequences of their actions every day of my life. Sometimes, I curse them and wish that they never find peace and on some other days, I just pity them and wish them good luck in whatever they have in mind to do. I on the other hand am stuck with this fate. It is bound to happen."Ma'am, you

Laura's POVThis wedding is not as I had expected it to turn out. Unlike every other wedding where there are a lot of guests flocking around the place, surprisingly the only people present are Alpha Victor's siblings, a supposed priest, The groom himself and then me, the bride. What sort of wedding is this? Although, I remember Alpha Victor telling me to invite anyone I felt like inviting, even though he was being sarcastic because how was I supposed to invite anyone to my wedding when I did not even have a phone or any access to the outside world? I still wonder what everything looks like outside of this prison. My dream is to breathe fresh air again. Plus even if I did want to invite anyone, I knew nobody outside of this place, I would never imagine my dad and mum, those are the last people I would ever think of. After all, they put me in this mess in the first place out of their selfish desire to get out of trouble. Now I have to bear the consequences of their actions, I have to li

Laura's POVThe wedding went by quickly, the priest sealed us together and there were some legal papers to sign. I did not want to sign any of those papers, I tried my best to cause a distraction but Victor kept giving me this kind of look that could kill me. It was like a warning look, it scared me. It scared me so badly and reminded me of my fate. That I am stuck in the hands of Alpha Victor no matter what I do. I will never escape this physical or emotional bondage. The sooner I realize it, the better for me and everyone else.I release a heavy sigh as I change into comfortable clothes. I am glad that one thing Victor did not ask me to do was to move into his room. At least I still have a bit more privacy to myself. I can not stop thinking about Dave though, his words, for some reason held a deeper meaning in them. As if, he was trying to give me some kind of hint or code to crack. It is true though, Dave and Victor are similar. Very similar in attitude. It actually scares me.I

Laura's POV "What is wrong with you?" Alpha Victor yells with rage in his eyes. He looks really angry, very angry and it scares me. I gulp a lump down my throat and it makes me stagger backwards in fear. My heart races fast and I trip and fall to the floor."Hello?" Mum's voice rings out loud again. Alpha Victor dashes towards the phone. I shut my eyes close and heard a smashing noise. I snap my eyes open and watch Alpha Victor's leg squash the phone into pieces. He walks towards me with a frown on his face and picks me up by the neck."What is wrong with you?" Alpha Victor yells with anger. My entire body shakes in fear. Even after five years, I can never get used to him, I can never get used to his anger. It is always so scary and creepy to even look in his eyes. "I asked a question, you stupid girl! I said what is wrong with you!" Alpha Victor yells gritting his teeth and clenching his fist tight. I bite my lower lip to hold back the tears that threaten to fall from my eyes as I

Laura's POVI can not stop thinking about what Alpha Victor said. Honestly, I can not get it off my mind. I could barely sleep. I mean, what did he mean by saying he wanted me for his collection? Collection of what? Collection of prisoners because that is exactly what it looks like. Wait a second, are there other people that he is keeping captive? Oh my goodness, are there other ladies like me who are held captive in the hands of Alpha Victor? Is he keeping us as his collection of brides? Or could he be planning something fishy to use us for?I shake off the thought and step into the bathroom for a quick shower. Once I am done, I step out with a towel wrapped around my body. I was about to change into comfortable clothes when a loud knock on my door startled me. I turn around to gaze at the door and a confused look appears on my face. Who could be knocking on the door? If it was Alpha Victor, he would just barge in rather than knock. After all, he is the Alpha and owner of the entire

Laura's POVI change into a yellow sunflower dress and pack my hair into a tight bun. I gaze at myself in the mirror and notice how stunning I look. Alpha Victor does not deserve to gaze at this beauty that I possess. He does not deserve it at all. I sigh and wave off such thoughts. I make my way towards my room door and step out of the room. I slam the door behind me and climb down the stairs. I freeze in front of the dining hall and I hear indistinct chattering noise coming from the dining hall. I scrunch my brows in confusion and wonder who else could be joining us for breakfast. Did Alpha Victor invite someone else to join us for breakfast? I shrug and push the door open wide making Alpha Victor and his right-hand man, Richard turn their gaze towards my direction. They watch me walk into the dining hall and settle down on the empty seat beside Alpha Victor."Good morning," I mumble to Alpha Victor ignoring the stare that the both of them give me. I turn to Richard and smile at him

Laura's POV I can not stop thinking about such a thing Richard said. Exploit my powers? What powers do I have that make me different from every other werewolf? What is it that no one is telling me about? Each day, I just figure out new things about myself. It always leaves me confused by the day and I keep asking myself this question. Who am I? Do I really know myself? Is there more to myself that I do not know about? I release a heavy sigh and attempt to turn away from the dining hall before I get caught eavesdropping on Alpha Victor and Richard's conversation. I turn around and I am about to leave but I hear Richard say something that makes me freeze in my steps."Her rare bloodline, it is not something I have ever seen or heard of before. Her blood is powerful enough to destroy the whole werewolf world. I have to say, Alpha Victor, you are lucky to have her on your side." Richard says.Rare bloodline? Me? Do I have a rare bloodline? Is that really why Alpha Victor wants me? To use

Laura's POVRichard walks around my room and places his hands at his back like an investigator searching for something. I gaze at him with a raised brow. Why does he feel so comfortable here as if this is his room or something? I did not even welcome him here in the first place. I sigh and turn to him. "What exactly did you say you wanted Richard? I am very sure that Alpha Victor would not be happy to see you here at all.' I say with a small frown on my face. I need my space to think right now and unfortunately for me, Richard just had to show up in the picture. So annoying."I thought I already told you. I want to know what your next move is Laura. Are you going to plan to escape again?" Richard asks. I scoff and shake my head at me. "Why should I even tell you what my next plan is?" I fire at him."Oh, so you do have a plan?" Richard asks turning to gaze at me with a small smile plastered on his face. The smile on his face gives me the creeps because it does not look like a genuine

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
The Alpha's Prey    CHAPTER 71
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
