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 POVIs it really worth it or is it just my curiosity getting the best of me? I should be really careful in times like this to not make the wrong decision and end up regretting it. This is not the time for mistakes. I need to think deeply about things before actually going ahead to act. I run a hand through my hair in frustration. I look up to gaze at Richard but surprisingly he already has his eyes on me with an impatient look on my face. I want to ask for more time to decide but the impatient look on Richard's face is enough to make me understand that whatever reason why he wants Alpha Victor's phone is for a really urgent reason. Although, it is worth a try. I should ask if Richard can give me till the end of the day to think, I should be able to use the rest of today to figure out why Richard wants that phone. If it is for a good cause or not. I attempt to open my mouth and ask for more time but it is as if Richard already read my mind and knows what I am about to ask for b
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 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 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 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
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
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
Laura's POV Richard and I snap our heads towards the direction of the familiar voice. Brandon stands far away from us with his brows furrowed at us in confusion. I gulp a lump down my throat and my cheeks flush red in embarrassment as my mind goes as far as imagining a kiss between I and Brandon. I hastily wave off such thought and force a smile on my face. "Nothing, hi Brandon," I yell with a fake smile plastered on my face as I slowly watch him approach us.“I thought you and Laura were secretly screwing each other." Richard blurts out. I frown and smack Richard by the arm causing him to groan in pain and shoot dagger glares at me."Do not mind whatever Richard says. He had a lot to drink this morning. What are you doing here Brandon?" I ask with a nervous chuckle.Brandon smiles at me and shrugs. "I was passing by and I heard my name come from the dining hall, twice." He states. Oh, I did not realize our voices were that loud.Brandon turns to Richard with a raised brow "Why would
Laura's POV Richard looks at me like I have grown two heads while I just look back at him with a straight face. I am serious here, I can not afford to lose all the friends I have made here, especially now that I have begun training with Brandon. I am on the path to becoming a skilled fighter and all of that is about to get ruined because of some stupid war or should I say because of Alpha Victor's stupid overprotective attitude. He does not even care about me, he only cares about my super abilities."I am serious here Richard, did you not hear me the first time?" I snap at him with a frown on my face."Wait, are you actually being serious right now Laura? Are you fucking crazy? What makes you think Alpha Victor would listen to you in such a crucial moment? Do you want to kill yourself?" Richard shoots questions at me with his eyes wide open in disbelief at my sudden confidence. I am just as surprised as he is."I am being serious right now. I want to talk to him plus, how would he ki
Laura's POV This time Brandon does not throw punches at my face or any sort. He just asks me to focus on the punching bag. He helps me practice my kicking and punching skills. He also said he would teach me how to use a weapon soon. I enjoyed training with Brandon aside from spending time with him and getting to know him more, he is also a very cool teacher and I think I might be learning a lot.I hope this training can go smoothly without Richard finding out. Speak of the actual devil, he steps into the dining room and meets me munching on a toasted bread. Richard settles down beside me and eyes me weirdly."If you have something to say then just go ahead and say it. I do not enjoy your presence at all and the last thing I want to do is let some random person get on my nerves." I say stuffing a slice of toast down my throat.Richard scoffs and rolls his eyes at me with a small frown on his face. "Random person? Wow, so today I am not Alpha Victor's lapdog but a random person? Laura,
