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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Laura's POVI release a heavy sigh for the umpteenth time and rub my temples in frustration. I pace my room with my eyes roaming space, hoping I will not forget anything at all. My parents are having us move from town for an uncountable amount of time. I have never had a stable life ever since I was born. I can always remember us moving from one place to another for some reason that remained unknown to me up until now that I am eighteen years of age. They should be able to tell me what they think and their plans for me, but no, they would rather just keep me in the darkness where they assumed I belonged.I remember that this is the reason why I never had friends, and I will most likely never have friends. It is because my parents always make us move when I finally get attached to someone.They feel it is nothing for them, but it is a huge deal for me that I have to live up to for the rest of my life. Sometimes, I try to understand them and wonder if it is for my good, but then I real

Laura's POV You know that thing where you kiss someone and then it sticks in your memory all night? That is exactly what is happening to me! For some weird reason, Brandon has not left my head, not even for once when I know I am supposed to be worrying about much bigger things like this me being used as a weapon for revenge.I sigh heavily and throw my legs in the air. "Then why did he kiss me if he has a Luna?" I mutter to myself. Subconsciously, my hands reach for my lips and I caress them softly, I begin to smile as I replay the memory of our short yet passionate kiss. Wow! I am indeed very helpless.I clear my throat and snap out of it immediately. Maybe he just got confused? He must have gotten so carried away while I was comforting him. To an extent, I think I understand him. It was all just confusion and it should be that way for me too.It would be extremely wrong to snatch the Alpha from his Luna. I shut my eyes and lay with my head in the direction of the roof ceiling. I ca
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.
