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
Alyssa's POV.I woke up with a start, my whole body aching.I looked around me, my eyes widening when I realized I wasn't in my room.The walls were white, the floor covered by thick carpeting. The design looked expensive and familiar, I didn't recognize the place at all until it hit me, it was the Alpha's room.A groan escaped my lips as I sat up straighter, my eyes widened as I wondered how I got here.What happenedI? How did I get here? My mind replayed the events from the day before.I remembered that it rained after I got beaten up and was asked to clean the hall.I remember falling down on the floor while it rained, I remember being carried but it was surprising to realize it was the Alpha that carried me.I tried standing up from his bed, my legs wobbled, causing me to fall back onto the bed once more.After trying again, I managed to get up this time, but my arms shook like leaves, giving away my inability to walk further than three steps. Once more, I tried to stand up b
Alyssa's POV.I woke up with a start, and my body jolted to life as if it had been hit by a sledgehammer.My mind immediately went blank and around me felt weird.I remembered everything that happened yesterday immediately, standing up I felt stronger than ever.The drugs may have had a bad effect at first, but I felt better right now.I knew I was still in the Alpha's room, and he would want me out of here soon.He made his intention clear when he told me he was returning the favor of me saving him.I slipped out of his room, my eyes scanning the hallway for any sign of anyone.The hallway was empty as usual, not everyone was allowed here, it was the Alpha's hallway after all.But I didn't want to take chances, I didn't have the energy to deal with the head slave catching me here.I made sure there was nobody watching me, then ran out.I began walking shakily to the slave quarters, my heart in my hands, wondering what the head slave would do, and I didn't feel like dealing with her
*This is the next chapter there was a mistake.*Alyssa's POV.I rushed to his room, my heart beating fast as I saw the mess made.I wondered how I wanted to clean it completely before he came back, and he had said he was coming soon.The bottles all over the floor, the torn papers, the scattered shelf, the spilled coffee cups and the broken mug… It looked like a tornado came through here. I couldn’t believe he would just leave everything in this state.But I was just a slave, and I couldn't argue or complain.I began cleaning the room, gathering up some of the crumpled paper. It seemed so important that he would not lose it.I arranged his shelf, picking out the broken glass that was on the ground and putting them in the waste bag.I cleaned up the rest and put everything away where it belonged. His books were placed on the bookshelf next to his desk. I arranged them too.I began sweeping, doing it quickly as the fear of him coming to an unclean room and how his reaction would be.
Alyssa's POV.At first it was just sadness, it hit me continuously as I kept clutching my chest while kneeling.It felt like someone was trying to rip out all my heart and force me to breathe in a sea of liquid nitrogen before I drowned in that sea of sorrow – the ocean of emotions that hit me immediately.The ocean of pain that came with it. The pain I hadn’t known until now, that had been lurking under the surface of every breath I took since I was brought here and since I discovered I have a mate who hates me.I kept clutching my chest, I could feel the tears that were gathering in my eyes again, slowly spilling onto my cheeks.Because I was too busy sobbing, too busy feeling the cold seeping through the thin material of my clothes, too busy trying to catch my breath after losing track of time and too busy feeling this suffocating loneliness eating at my bones, I didn't notice someone walk towards me.I suddenly stood up when I felt a hand on my back, my knees buckling and it thr
Alyssa's POV.She released me after a while, sending me stumbling to the ground.I stood up shakily, wondering if she still wanted to punish me.She glared at me for a moment, sending shivers down my body.“You know what happens when you break the rules, don’t you? Her tone was as sharp and cold as ice, cutting into my bones like knives, and I felt myself shrink back with every sentence that came out of her mouth."Yes." I whispered."Good, don't try it next time." She stormed off.I walked to my room, my heart doubling over frequently.I could hear other slaves talking, but didn't pay much attention to them.I was too tired and angry to say anything or listen to them.I opened the door and fell on the bed immediately, my whole body ached.I tried sleeping immediately and it didn't come.Instead I tossed and turned in bed, wishing for someone to help me deal with this pain.After some time I got up slowly, dragging myfeet as if I weighed ten tons instead of just a few.I went into t
Lance's POV.I'm irritated, seeing no reaction on her face, and how she kept a poker face while she saw me and Belinda annoyed me.It felt like I was nothing to her suddenly, and I didn't like how that made me feel.I scoffed immediately. I remembered how she looked at me when she saw me and Belinda kissing in the bathroom while she was cleaning.I watched her and she didn't even move or care, just wiped the floor with a cloth as if it were a normal occurrence.My hands were shaking now because of what happened, but I wanted so badly to make her weep, emotionally and physically.I don't care if it hurt me too, or if she's my mate, it worked for a while.And then she saved me, making me soften up, but I seemed to remember who she is and I couldn't soften up, even though I helped her and even though she looked so tempting on my bed while she slept days ago.The way she ignored my plans to make her cry and not shade any single tear made me very upset.I clenched my hands into fists, try
