Lance's POV.Dylan was wrong. I could run through the whole town three times and Allyssa would still be on my mind.Sweat drips from my body as I return to my room, my mind is still filled with images of Allyssa's smiling face, smiling with that guard. It makes me want to punch something, but I know even that would not help.What I need to do is talk to Allyssa and clear up the misunderstanding between us. But, I also don't know why all these crazy feelings are coming all at once.Maybe it's because I had neglected and disregarded the mate bond for a while and now it had come back stronger than ever, my heart hurts, the longing for Allyssa had grown stronger and I think I might actually be close to obsession. 'Well, at least you know that one thing, but now you don't even know how to approach Allyssa.' My wolf tips in on my thoughts and I feel like I might scratch my eyes out if he doesn't stop goading me.'So it left, and came back stronger?' I ask, just for clarification.'The mate
Allyssa's POV.To say that I am startled is the understatement of the year. The Alpha's words have shocked me to no end. I don't even know what to make of it at this point, on one hand, I am overjoyed that he has finally realized his feelings, and on the other hand, I can't help but think that the Alpha is trying to switch up on me again, and I will not entertain that.'Just accept him, he is trying to make you his Luna, do you even know what that means?' My wolf shouts in my head.'I would love to think that I know what a Luna means, given that accepting the Alpha's proposal would make me one' I snidely reply.'Them why?! Why did you shut him down, he's planning to accept us as his mate, why did you have to go and do that, this is everything you've been dreaming of and now that it fell into your lao you're just going to ignore it?!' My wolf is enraged, but I stay calm.'What if he's just playing with us? What would we do then? We would be stuck in an alliance of hate and I definitel
Belinda's POV.Nothing is working out for me and it makes me so frustrated. Adrian on one hand is not doing his job, his task was simple, get rid of Allyssa, and that is proving hard for him, for whatever reason and I am running out of patience.I could claw out that bitch's face with my bare hands if I could. The Alpha is not making things easier for me either. I spotted him 'carrying' Allyssa on his shoulder, his hands propping her butt, keeping her in place. I want to drag her hair till she is bald.I am currently trailing them from afar and I realize that he is carrying her to his room. Rage burns through me with a vengeance and I try to hold back the anger but the way she is wiggling on his shoulder while he holds her firmly makes me want to kill someone or something, preferably the little wench on my Alpha's shoulders.They enter the room, the door slamming shut and a thousand things that they could be doing in there flash in my mind, I walk nearer, attempting to open the door,
Belinda's POV."What have you been doing?" I yell at him, "Did I pay you to dilly dally and do everything leisurely, you could have literally ended her in three different ways today, there were multiple opportunities, but she is still alive and well, breathing down my neck" I rant." Belinda… " He starts but I cut him off, snapping." Don't say my name, how dare you, you could not even get a simple job done, what do you want to tell me, what is your excuse?" I ask, adding, " Right, you don't have one, so why should I listen to whatever the fuck you have to say, huh?"" I'm telling you Adrian if you do not do what I asked you to do, you will regret it. Badly, just make sure that Allyssa is dead and gone. Don't let me call you again like this" I snap at him and stalk off.I barely get to my room before I come undone, slashing at the pillows and bedsheets with my claws that had come back out, I have murderous intent right now.And the person at the top of the list is Allyssa, seconded
Allyssa's POV.I don't even understand what is going on. The moon goddess decided to make this the worst day of my life, I cannot even comprehend why all these things are happening to me all of a sudden.Belinda made my life hell in the room, subtly pushing me, always putting dirt on the places where I already arranged and then telling me to redo it, over and over again, I don't know what her issue is, she wants the Alpha, what has that got to do with me.As far as I'm concerned, I couldn't care less what she does with her time with the Alpha, but she is transferring a lot of aggression towards me and it is a lot to handle.My back and waist aches, and my knees and hands are peeled and bleeding from kneeling and scrubbing the floors and furniture.I just need a good rest, and maybe this pains would go away, some pack members are looking at me with disgusted expressions, they always look at me with a sneer and disgust clearly written on their faces but not that I think about it, this i
Lance's POV.I'm very scared, Allyssa is asleep from whatever medicine the healer gave her, she is sleeping, unmoving and it's making me scared. I start pacing the room."She is going to be okay, this is a common side effect of the medicine, while she is asleep, her wounds will heal from the inside" the Healer affirms.I just nod to him and continue pacing the room. I can't help thinking that I am completely and utterly useless. I couldn't even protect someone I like. My mate, for that matter.I am just good for nothing. Which kind of Alpha can't even protect his own? The useless kind that's who. I have failed her. Not only has this mystery man been escaping from my fingertips, but he has been continuously attacking her under my very nose.I breathe in from my nose and exhale from my mouth, trying to calm myself,but it's useless, I feel so dejected and angry.I need to know who this person is and what business he wants with Allyssa, I feel like whoever this person my be, he is a rogue
Allyssa's POV.I open my eyes, my body is weak, tears stream down my face, I could hear everything the Alpha was saying to me, and I don't even know how to react to that. If he was saying that to someone that was only half conscious, that would mean that he is sincere, right?The Alpha had gone out, I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes in his presence, but I had been so touched, my wounds are gone, thankfully, but I am very weak, I can't even move my hands. I try to stand up, but the Healer sends me a chilly look that tells me to lay still, and not tempt him in any way. I like my life, so I lie back down.The door opens and the Alpha steps in, our eyes meet and I smile at him, his lips quivering unsure of what to do.He quickly walks and stands beside me, "How are you feeling, can you move your arms?" He asks."Just a little pain in my back, and I'm very weak, not that it should be a burden to you" I reply.His face falls, " Don't be like that, I care about you very much, don't pu
Lance's POV.I smile, staring at her beautiful and delicate face. She looks like a flower, but more beautiful, she shines like a light wherever she is. I cannot stop staring at her face, the way her hair fans out around her as she sleeps, the delicate rise and fall of her chest.I'm addicted to her, and her scent is aromatic and captivating like flowers and candy and it makes me more angry that that man is putting her life in danger, threatening her and making her fret.When I do catch him, he is going to wish that he was not alive, he's going to wish he never knew who Allyssa was, that he never crossed paths with her.I need to gather my guards and regroup so that we can catch this man, he is endangering the lives of the pack members, has attacked Talia and keeps attacking Allyssa.Allyssa is sleeping soundly, we need to get preparations in place, so I stand up, brushing a few strands of hair away from her face, and move outside.I bring out my phone and call Dylan, he picks up immed
