The Alpha's Rejected Daughter Nine
Laura's POVI took a deep breath, settling into the soft cushions of the armchair at Xander's room.. I was drenched in distress, I was feeling sick and I wasn't feeling this way since the race, but it felt like something I did is coming together to hurt me.I recounted the day of the kingdom race, of how I'd felt the weight of my limbs as I almost lost my life, grateful for Chris to have jumped into the pool after evil girl sent me unwillingly diving into pool. I'd pushed myself to the brink of my endurance, muscles aching and cramping, but somehow still drowning in the water before Chris grabbed me.The memory of this incident will forever be etched into head and pools will always give me PTSD.."I recounted how, finally, I'd reached my room after the whole in pool and pool side incident and I was so tired and drenched because of the drowning and my cramps. I wasn't strong enough to go for the race, but I was scared if I disappointed you, you'll be angry and do more bad things to me.

Clara's POVI walked into the built in coffee shop, hoping to grab my usual cappuccino before heading to my room and take my bath. I caught my breath as I see Alexander sitting at a table with Laura. What is he doing with her? I try to shake off the thought and order my drink. As I wait for it, I can't help but sneak glances over at them.To my surprise, I see that they aren't behaving in any way I expected. Alexander isn't even touching her, and they seem to be having a genuine conversation. I feel my cheeks flush with embarrassment as I think of all the things I had been assuming about them.And I the way I attacked Laura? Was I scary enough for her?Maybe I had become sloppy, but I'll let her know I'm not one to be messed with.I grabbed my drink and took a seat at a table across from them. Maybe today will be the day that Alexander finally notices me, I thought to myself. I start to daydream about the life we could have together, but I am quickly brought back to reality as I hear

Laura's POVI had fallen ill since the race, my menstrual cramps made the sickness worse and during those times I found a support system in whom I least expected.I couldn't believe it when Alexander showed up at my doorstep with a basket full of fruits, veggies, and a care package filled with medicine and hot tea. This was the same Alexander that I had always despised, because of the way he took me from my home thinking he was just another arrogant and selfish person. Here he was, being genuinely kind to me in my time of need. I had been sick for over two weeks, and it had been a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows.As we sat down in the living room with the care package spread out on the coffee table, I couldn't help but wonder why he was doing all this. After some small talk, he told me that he knew what it was like to be sick and feel alone. He had gone through a tough time with his family and had to rely on strangers for help, so he wanted to pay it forward. I was taken aback by

Alexander's POVEvery morning since Laura got ill, I do check in with her to see how she was doing, but this time she had recovered and we had a little argument before going to bed the night before. Laura told me she wanted to continue her training, but I wasn't in support of it because I felt she wasn't well recovered to start running around the woods and the training centre.Well, after many rounds of going back and forth with her, she finally agreed to stay back.But to my surprise this morning, I got to Laura's room and she wasn't there, I looked all over the house and no one could say they saw her, so I figured she must have gone for her run in the woods.I headed to the woods to look for her.I set out early in the morning, taking only my senses and determination with me. I knew I had to be careful, as the woods could be dangerous. I couldn't let anything get in my way. I had to find Laura.As I walked, I began to pick up her scent. It was faint at first, but it grew stronger as

ClaraI watched through the crack of the door as Alexander and Laura sat on the couch, giggling and holding hands. My heart sank as I saw how happy they were together. I had known that Alexander had been interested in Laura for a while, but I never thought anything would come of it because Alexander only took her as a sex slave and she, she didn't really like Alexander well, at first.I had always been trying to get close to Alexander. We had grown up together and had been the best of friends for as much as I could remember. I have always had romantic feelings for him, but I couldn't deny the pang of jealousy I felt as I watched him with Laura especially, after she told me they were just friends.I knew it was irrational. I had no right to be jealous of their relationship. But I couldn't help the way I felt. I had always been fond of Alexander, but seeing him with Laura made me feel like an outsider. And the fact that I have been trying all my life to make him even notice my affection

Laura's POVI could feel my heart racing as I adjust my silver watch, glancing around the crowded room, waiting for Alexander to arrive. This dinner was something I’ve been looking forward to for days now, it would be my first dinner with Alexander where we actually have something and not just sex. Since the race, we haven't had any dinner, so the anticipation only building the closer it got. And now, finally, he was here, and we were sitting at a round table set up right by the large window. While waiting for the waiter to come and take our orders, I absentmindedly stared at the full-bodied red glass of wine sitting in front of me, my mind lost in thought."I don't think that’s yours," Alexander interrupted my gentle ruminations, his cold hand pressing against my wrist, stopping me from reaching the glass.My eyes found his, and I knew he was hinting that the drink might be laced with something. He had become overprotective and extra caring with me since we started whatever we are do
The Alpha's Rejected Daughter 15
Dominique's POVAfter several days, probably a week of still thinking about Laura since that race Alexander hosted, I felt I had to make a move before Alexander starts developing feelings for Laura.So, I planned a meeting with Laura and asked her not to let Xander in on the meeting. Knowing she doesn't like Xander that much, she wouldn't betray me. So, we finally met.I sat opposite Laura, my eyes never leaving hers as I tried to convince her to leave Alexander and be my mate. "Laura," I said, my tone soft and persuasive. "You know deep down that Alexander will never treat you right. He's only using you for his own selfish purposes."Laura snorted, her arms crossed over her chest. "I'm not stupid, Dominique," she said, her voice laced with anger and frustration. "I know that Alexander is not the perfect mate, but owned me. And. I can't just leave him like that."I leaned forward, my eyes pleading. "Please, Laura. You deserve better than him. You deserve someone who will love and cher

Annabelle's POVI was still in my feelings about Alexander picking Laura over me. She was so unkept and not even good looking enough. I always had a crush on Alexander since the day I went with my dad to borrow money from him.I still wasn't satisfied with his decision, so I called to tell him that I was coming to visit my step sister. If I wouldn't get a chance then, I'll create one, I said to myself.My father always thought me to in fight for what I believed in, so it was finally time for me to follow that teaching.I had gotten to the house, exchanged pleasantries with everyone and even Laura. I asked for Alexander's room and I was directed to it.As I walked into Alexander's room, I couldn't help but feel a wave of anger wash over me. It has been weeks since he had chosen my step-sister, Laura, over me. The pain and resentment still lingered within me, festering like a wound that refused to heal. I hated Laura for that. She always knew how to get on my nerves, intentionally or un

I knew he had a point, but I couldn't help feeling disappointed. "But Liam, I can protect myself. And I want to be part of the pack's success," I explained.Mike sighed, his eyes filled with concern. "I understand that, Laura, but we need someone to stay back, and that someone is you. Alexander trusts me to keep you safe while he's gone, and I can't let him down."I could see determination written all over Mike's face, and I knew that it was pointless to argue with him. However, deep down, I still wished I could go with the others.I sprang to my feet and started scanning the room for my things. My backpack was still sitting in the corner where I had left it. I grabbed it and pulled out a flashlight, some food, and a bottle of water. I slung the backpack on my shoulder and jogged outside. Mike kept, bugging me and followed me outside.Our den was surrounded by thick woods. The air carried a heavy scent of earth and pine needles. The sun was full scorch, and its light was bright enough

Dominique's POVI never believed in mercy. I was born an alpha, raised to be strong, fierce, and deadly. Compassion was a weakness, one that I had no intention of indulging in as I stared down at Alpha Marcus, bloodied and bruised, his pack cowering behind him in fear.He had been my prisoner for days, and despite my best efforts, he had refused to divulge any information about the whereabouts of Alexander. There had been moments of intense pain, moments when I glimpsed something in his eyes, something that hinted at knowledge of Alexander's movements, but he had remained stubborn, remaining silent, refusing to give in to the pain.Beating upon beating, different styles of interrogation and tutoring done, but he wouldn't bulge.That wasn't the case today. Today, as I looked down at him, I saw something different in his eyes, a desperation that was both unfamiliar and uncomfortable to witness. With one final burst of strength, he pushed himself up from the ground, his breath coming in

Dominique's POVIt was a chilly morning as I made my way through the woods towards the alpha's pack territory. I had heard rumors that some of the other alphas had met with Alexander, and since he had disappeared without a trace, I figured they would know something about his whereabouts. I had to find him.I finally reached the edge of the pack's territory, and I could see the den in the distance. I took a deep breath, straightened my back, and began to run towards the den. The guards at the entrance tried to stop me, but I quickly took care of them, and barged into the alpha's den."What brings you here, Dominique?" Alpha Marcus asked, raising an eyebrow at me."I need to know where Alexander is," I growled, my eyes narrowing."I'm sorry, but I cannot divulge that information," Marcus replied calmly.My patience was wearing thin. I needed answers, and I needed them now. "You will answer me, Marcus," I said, stepping closer to him. "Where is Alexander?""I cannot betray another alpha'

Laura's POV I stood in front of the punching bag, sweat dripping down my face, my fists tightly wrapped in gloves. Despite the pain that came with throwing each punch, the steady rhythm of it brought a sense of calm to my mind. It was the only way I knew how to deal with the hurt that my family had inflicted upon me after I visited them to tell them about Annabelle's death. They had blamed me for what had happened to her. The accusations had rained down upon me like a torrential storm, leaving me feeling battered and bruised. It was unfair, unrealistic, and, to be blunt, cruel. I knew deep down that it wasn't my fault, that I had done everything in my power to be there for her, but their words lingered like a festering wound, refusing to heal. I shook my head, focusing on the bag as I threw a punch. The sound of the impact echoed across the gym, and I welcomed it, appreciating the release of energy that came with it. I felt eyes on me and turned to see Alexander watching me from the

Chris's POV I sat in my cabin, staring at the empty room. The silence was deafening. For years, the pack had been my family, their howls and laughter more soothing than any symphony. But that had all changed when Dominique attacked us. The pack was decimated, and our once prosperous territory was now a barren wasteland filled with people who didn't own the territory. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps outside the door. I knew it was Alexander. He entered the room with a grave look on his face, and I immediately sensed that something was wrong. "What's the matter, Alexander?" I asked, trying to keep my voice calm. "It's about the pack, Chris," he said, his voice heavy with emotion. "I spoke to the other alphas, but they refused to help us rebuild. They said they have their own problems to deal with." I let out a sigh. This was worse than I had expected. Without the support of the other alphas, it would be almost impossible to rebuild the pack. I thought if Ale

Alexander's POVIt was a rainy evening, and I was sitting on the couch waiting for Laura to come home. I had a bad feeling about her visit to her parents, especially after what had happened in the past and how they maltreated Laura.I listened to the sound of the rain tapping on the window, and soon heard the door opening. Laura walked in, and my heart sank as I saw tears in her eyes. I stood up and walked towards her, holding her close as she broke down in my arms."What happened?" I asked, my heart tight with worry."My father blamed me for Annabelle's death," she whispered amid sobs.I knew this was coming, but I couldn't help feeling angry at her father for putting her through this pain once again. I held her tight, trying to soothe her."Shh... It's alright, Laura. He doesn't know what he's saying," I said, trying to calm her down."But what if it's true? What if I am to blame? Because it feels like that." She asked, her voice shaking with fear."Stop that talk right now. You had

Clara's POVI sat in the living room of Dominique's new acquired house, my eyes fixed on the TV, but my mind wandering somewhere else entirely. Dominique was watching me from the corner of his eye, and I couldn't help but notice the way his gaze lingered on me longer than it should have. It made me feel uneasy."You seem distracted," Dominique stated the obvious, turning off the TV.I looked over at him, trying to gauge if there was any ulterior motive behind his words. "I guess I'm just tired," I hedged, not wanting to give him the upper hand.Dominique crossed his arms and leaned back against the wall. "Is there something on your mind?"I hesitated for a moment before finally speaking my mind. "I can't help but feel like you're playing a game with me, Dominique. Like you're testing me to see if I'm really on your side or just pretending to be."Dominique's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What makes you say that?"I shrugged. "It's just a feeling I have. Something about the way you lo
