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
Allyssa's POV.A hand holds my wrist as I try to stand and clean the furniture, I have already made the bed and swept the room, the furniture is the next step.I look to find the Alpha, looking down at me, a scowl on his face."Why are you cleaning?" He asks, definitely not happy to see me doing household chores, from the scowl on his face and his tone of voice."I'm just doing it out of habit, I just wanted to clean the room, out of gratitude for the Healer, for taking out time in his schedule to take care of me, that's all." I murmur.He yanks me up, though not forcefully, and holds my shoulders, "You do know that taking time out of his schedule to take care of injured or sick Pack members is his job right?, he did not do anything special for you, he just did his job, so you absolutely do not have to clean his room for him" I guess he is right, "But, cleaning is my job too, and I am a slave, I don't think a lot of people regard me as a pack member" "You just recovered, you couldn
Lance's POV.I'm in the stars, this euphoria taking me away like a leaf in the wind, my head swims and I sway on my feet, but my arms are still wrapped around Allyssa.I don't have to breathe, I don't want to disentangle my lips from hers, I don't want this moment to end, so I hold on, I kiss her like my life depends on it, I kiss her like I am starved, and honestly I am, so I kiss her and quench my thirst, I kiss her and quench my hunger too.She disconnects our lips first, her chest heaving, her hair rumpled and her lips swollen and red, it makes me want to kiss her again."We should get out of here," I say, my voice raspy, my throat dry and coarse."Yeah, no, I don't want to suffer the wrath of the healer" She shivers as though the thought of the Healer's anger gives her chills."Fine, but when he comes back, I'm taking you out of here, to keep you safe" I promise, that's not entirely the truth, I want her to be with me all times of the day, torrents of feelings pouring through me.
Belinda's POV.I'm fuming, my chest is bubbling with fury and my vision is red.I just saw the Alpha carrying Allyssa, princess style out of the Healer's room, and now, they are murmuring to each other, Allyssa looks like she is protesting but I can see that the Alpha does not want to let go of her.He finally sets her down, but his arm is wrapped around her waist in an intimate manner, I try to control myself, but I cannot, I am about to explode, my chest is heaving, and I don't think it would be a bright idea to confront them, I might actually blow up if I do that. Allyssa leans heavily on the Alpha, taking slow dragging steps. I want to bash her head in with the nearest weapon I can find, but I can't exactly do that and it kills me.They walk in the direction of the Alpha's room and the very knowledge threatens to tip me over the edge of my control.In the spur of the moment, I follow them, hiding in the shadows and making sure to stay hidden. She rests her head in the crook of h
Allyssa's POV.The first person that I see as I come out of the Alpha's room is Belinda, I start feeling somewhat shy, the emotion surprising me, I guess it's because of the acts I and the Alpha had been up to in the room.She must have picked up on a few sounds and noises that I and the Alpha had made and must have put two and two together, because the glare she gives me is enough to melt my bones. I walk past her, a blush blooming on my cheeks, "Wait right there" She calls, but I proceed to ignore her, I don't want any of her drama right now, I put on a nonchalant front and walk away.From the side of my eye, I can see her following me, fury burning and twisting her face into something monstrous, my heart skips, why is she following me? She's not supposed to come after me, I don't even want any problems, I just want to leave here in one piece, but from the look on her face, she is not done with me yet.My stomach starts aching and I scrunch up my face. If she could just leave me a
Belinda's POV.Who would have thought that Allyssa would have the guts to stand up to me, or even walk out on me? Her attitude towards me was so infuriating that even though I tripped her, I didn't feel at all satisfied with myself.The anger was still going strong and at this point, I might actually end up doing something I regret, my wolf instincts are starting to take over and I may end up killing Allyssa with my bare hands if care is not taken, which alarms me, because that would be sloppy and I would lose my shot at the Alpha.I let out a groan, the sound rumbling out of me, low and guttural and deadly.I don't like the way the Alpha and Allyssa are getting close, in fact, I hate it, it is giving her the audacity to talk back at me. Me. Belinda, she behaved as if I was not relevant and that is enough to piss me off, I'm infuriated, the whole thing is because of Allyssa, she is at fault, if she thinks that she's going to be the Luna of the pack, then she should think again, I am
