LISA'S POV
My head sinks into a cloud. My whole body feels light. My eyes flutter open to a dark room. Little rays of sunlight sneak into the room past the curtains opposite my bed. I sit up on my bed. I tried to remember getting into bed without putting on my nightwear, but I couldn't. Everything seemed surreal to me. I was used to this feeling
LISA'S POVThis was one of the worst travel experiences I have ever had. Here I was, stuck in a car with almost a dozen guys who were all severely deprived of adequate sleep for twelve hours. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. It got to a point where they began to bicker like little girls, complaining about any little touch or movement. from someone breathing too loudly, someone talking too much, or even sitting too close to them.They deemed it fit in their delusional state of mind to talk about me as if I wasn't present in the car with them. I found it rather funny when they hurled insults at me and said that I wouldn't last a week when we got to the estate. When I tried singing them a lullaby so they would shut up and sleep properly, they became
LISA'S POV"All right, boys. Round them up. " Rubie ordered. Take the receptionist with you; it's best we don't leave anyone behind. It could prove fatal.I looked over my shoulder at the receptionist, who had frozen in place, his hands gripping the marble countertop. I had forgotten someone was there.The rebels moved closer towards us. I could hear the order growling. Each of them was eager to lunge into a fight, but they understood Kayden's hesitation. There was no way all of them would make it out alive. This was a battle for brute strength. I guess I had no choice but to replicate the favour and save the order this time.I lifted my hands into the air a
Lisa's POVI sat on the bed for a few minutes, thinking about a plan. I decided to keep the case on the table in case I ran into anyone, and I would tell them about it. That should work. Rubie sent me to administer the contents of the case to the hostages. I picked up the Glock and double-checked the safety before I tucked it into the waistband of my jeans. I looked at my reflection in the mirror to make sure I didn't look too rattled. If anyone asks where she was, I'll tell them she was in the bathroom, which isn't a lie.I took a deep breath and opened the door, looking both ways down the hallway before stepping into it, the door clicking shut behind me.I rubbed my eyes and sighed. This was one of the most
Lisa's POVI start by rushing towards the door and locking it. I lower the chain holding Dom first and then loosen it to tie the man who I first knocked out. Dom yanked out the gag in his mouth and tossed it to me, and I placed it in the man's mouth. My reason for picking Dom was that he understood the situation as well as I did. We grew up amongst rebels and we knew how they carried out things.Once I was done with the man, I joined Dom and helped him free everyone else. The murderous glint they had in their eyes towards me was all but gone. Although none of them said thank you, their silence was a good enough answer. Every one of them reached for their bags and slung them across their shoulders. My bag was in Rubie's room, and I wasn't sure I was going
LISA'S POVCharlie reached out to grab me and he sent me flying halfway across the room. I managed to divert my head a second before it would have been planted into the base of the desk. That was close. I would have been knocked out clean if that had happened.
Lisa's POV Dom looked at me like I had broken his heart, feigning like I had hurt his feelings. "Ouch, Lisa. I never thought you would say that out loud." I gave him a sidelong glance, showing him that I wasn't in the mood for his shenanigans. "How? Explain this to us; we want to understand," Ava asked, and Lincoln nodded, seemingly in agreement with her. I thought about what to tell them. I couldn't tell them that he had saved me on the night that was supposed to be my death date. There was no need to tell them that I was living as an expired wolf. "We ran into each other some weeks and we sort of clicked. I didn't know who he was at that time and he was being shady about his identity." It was better this way. If I mentioned that I was friends with Kayden, they would use me as bait to bring him back here. It was going to be the start of a war and I didn't want to be behind any bloodshed.
KLAUS' POV One hour earlier, My brother was going to end up losing his mind as Luke slammed his foot on the gas, sending us away from the motel as fast as the car could. At the motel, Brandon and Stefan did the same thing to Jonas to stop them from jumping out of the car and going back to the motel to save Lisa. If you gave them both half a chance, they would be out of the car instantly. I know each one of you here knew how hard it was for me to get her back. I can't afford to lose her again. I just can't. " Kayden struggled with our cousins, trying to break free from their grip. I sat close to the door as the last line of defence.
KLAUS' POV "You are not to harm her. This is a warning and you will do right and heed it." A warning coming from the former Beta? I don't think you have any power over me anymore. " My nostrils flared as I grabbed his shirt. "You need to pick your next words carefully." I began slowly. "You are no match for me, and I will kill you if you disrespect me again." Soon I'm going to be Beta. None of the others are qualified enough if you ask me, so don't think you can scare me anymore. I'll soon be above you. It's only a matter of time. I ducked underneath a branch blocking the path as I maintained a reasonable amount of distance behind Brandon. Is that all you care about right now? Claiming my position? " I laughed bitterly. You've always been cynical and resentful ever since you were a child. You can't stand to see my brother wanting to be happy with a woman he loves. You can't understand me for bei
