Alyssa's POV.I wake up at the crack of dawn, at least now there will be no ice cold water poured on me because I 'overslept'. The sleep clears from my eye slowly and I take in my sorroundings, I'm in my room, I look at the little watch on the table and realize that it's five forty-eight in the morning, I scramble up from the bed, rushing to take a shower, I feel like this day is going to be fun for me, but then again, that is a stretch, considering the fact that I am a slave, my days are not exactly fun, but I try.The water is cold as I pour it on my body and scrub the grime from my skin. I hastily finish bathing, the cold water making my teeth chatter. I pull on a long gray maxi skirt and a black faded t-shirt, the skirt has been patched in various vital places but it should suffice.I rush out of the room so I can catch breakfast, there are a few slaves gathered at the dilapidated table and the. Head slave is rationing the meals, the food does not look the least bit edible, but m
Alyssa's POV..My heart races, what is the wench trying to do this time around, dies she want to send me to her room and tell me to kneel down again? I sigh inwardly, my heartbeat racing as my heart thrums in my chest, she sneers at me as I draw closer, Talia looks towards me and I give her a pleading look, Belinda dies not catch it and I am not even sure Talia does. I walk nearest and incline my head in a bow, keeping my head bent. "Look at me" She commands and I lift my face slowly.'WHAM!'The slap resounds in my ear and the house rattles, or maybe that is just my brain, my vision turns to dots and stars and I swoon, unable to keep my footing, laughter erupts among the group and my heart constricts in pain, the slap stinging my cheek and I bite my cheek to keep from crying, tears line my eyelids. "Stop loitering around here, if you are here to clean then just do so and leave, there is no need for you to stand around and gape at me, your stench is making the flowers wither, and
Lance's POV.I stared at the guards thinking of what to teach them.Other packs had trained their guards preparing for what was to come.I commanded them, “You are no longer a pack guard and you do not have your wolf status, if you can't even defend yourself."They stood there confused as I continued my lecture, “As an alpha, I'll train you all, and make sure you can protect yourself and the pack against any attack.""Let's start." I said, the training began.They tried their best to fight with me, but eventually it was clear that they were not fit for it. They were too weak and clumsy in the process. The first person to get knocked off their feet by an attack was me, while trying to dodge.They thought I would fall, but I caught myself midair and kicked their ass instead. One guard was able to jump out of my way at the last second when he tried to attack me.He managed to avoid being knocked unconscious from my kick, but ended up in a choke hold from behind.I turned around, grabbe
Lance's POV.I followed the sound slowly, wondering who was there this time.I knew it was Alyssa, I made her run away definitely.I was sure I was the only one swimming here, the other pack members were in the pack.I took my clothes from the floor, dressing up immediately.My instincts told me something was there, it told me someone who wasn't supposed to be there was there.My eyes narrowed as I scanned the area, I was sure it was an intruder and I didn't want any intruder in my pack.I paused when I saw a werewolf male, he definitely wasn't part of my pack."Who are you?" I barked."What are you doing here?" My voice got deeper.He smirked like he expected to see me, it was so suspicious."I asked a question." I said, flashing my wolf eyes.It seemed that made him even more cocky, "I'm sorry, alpha, but I don't know if you remember me, we met once before."I furrowed my brows, I had no idea who he was, "Have we?" I asked."Yeah, I'm here to do what I was sent to do." He said."Wha
Alyssa's POV.I gasped when I saw the Alpha lying down on the floor, his eyes going white and he was bloodied everywhere.He looked absolutely terrible to me, his whole body shaking in pain as if he had just experienced an earthquake. His breathing was shallow too, he kept taking deep breaths in but couldn’t get enough air into his lungs so he just ended up coughing.I went straight to him, my stomach churning. I shouldn't feel bad for him, but I did. “Please don’t be dead... please… I have no one left…” I choked back tears. He didn’t even look alive, his pale skin and lifeless eyes made everything else seem far away and unreal.I dragged him inside the room, placing on the bed, I began cleaning the bloodied floor, he lost too much blood already.When I was done I went outside, I needed some fresh air after being in that room for too long.The cold air felt good and helped calm my nerves. I walked around the yard, trying not to think about what could happen to him.I raced to the h
Lance's POV.I was prepared for the war, I made sure I'll train my guards today again, they needed to fight whoever was responsible for the attack on me.I found out the pack and I was ready to make them pay.The training began, the guards are at their posts when they heard the noise that was a sound of metal striking against stone.I was shocked by their improvement but I wanted them to be perfect.I knew I would need all of our resources if we want to survive the winter so they've been working harder than before and they're now stronger than ever since I told them about the attack. The only way to defeat this is to use weapons. So I'm going to train them well in that respect until we can get an idea of what to prepare ourselves against this thing.We trained hard enough and I know I don't have enough time to do everything.They've grown and become strong as well. After several days, I felt like I could finally start to feel relaxed, but it wasn't enough.My guards kept swinging,
Lance's POV.The thought of fighting this war in a way that'll make my pack less hurt.I didn't want anything to happen to them, I was a leader and my main focus would definitely be on them.That's what it means to be alpha: to protect your pack always and help those in need. Even if sometimes, you're the cause of that need. Even if it costs you. I wasn't going to let anyone from my pack get killed in front of me by my own hands.As much as I was known as a ruthless Alpha, I cared about my pack a lot.My eyes scanned the environment, seeing any possible threats, searching for anything that might pose an issue, while at the same time, trying to figure out how I can arrange everything when this battle finally comes.I'd rather not do something stupid.I had no intention of losing my pack. My pack meant everything to me and I wouldn't lose it because I couldn't have something right now.It could be over any minute and my pack is counting on me to keep everyone safe.That's all that mat
Alyssa's POV.My day started horribly, after giving the Alpha refreshment in the training room.I was ordered by the head slave to come immediately. I did not know what she wanted, but I knew I was definitely in trouble. I tapped my feet impatiently as I waited for her outside her office.I was scared of entering there, I've heard the experience of other slaves and it wasn't pleasant.I've also had my experience with her a lot and she seemed to pick on me a lot, because the Alpha said so.I twirled my hands nervously, the feeling of dread filling my body. When she finally emerged from her office, she motioned for me to follow her to an empty area.I didn't want to be alone with her, even though it's only us two in the room. As soon as we stopped, she began speaking. “I heard what you did." She said with an unreadable expression."What I did?" I asked her wondering what she was talking about.I suddenly remembered how I helped the Alpha that day, and how he's been ignoring me for so
