Alyssa's POV.I knew he was trying to make me notice him, and I wanted to do what Talia said.I didn't expect him to be angry about that, I didn't expect him to even care about my reaction but I could see his reaction.It was so blatant and obvious that even a blind could see it.I wondered why he felt that way or even the need to do that, I knew he didn't like or want me, I was his enemy and he didn't like the fact that I'm his mate.He never failed to show me he hated me, he never missed an opportunity to remind me of how much he wanted to kill me. He punished me in manners I couldn't quite understand and sometimes I felt like I should've died.He also punishes me emotionally, by making me watch him with another woman.It's like watching a horror movie, every time I see her he gets closer and closer to her until she finally says yes and they're kissing like they had been for years.I feel sick when they break apart and smile like they are so in love.So when I was told how to reac
Lance's POV.I don't know what came over me, after telling myself I'll stay away.I won't kiss her, I still went on and did it.The moment my lips touched hers I was hooked. I kissed like I was mad.And I didn't care who saw us.There was no time for anything but kissing, only her lips against mine.And she kissed me back, hard.It was hot, so hot I could feel the sweat on my forehead, the heat from our tongues as we danced together.My hands were all over her body, pulling her closer to me while feeling the warmth radiating from her. We were both consumed by each other, it felt like we engulfed ourselves. It felt like we were drowning, in passion, in ecstasy.Her hands ran through my hair, caressing my face as she moved against my lips. She pulled at my shirt with her fingernails, tugging it up a bit higher to expose more of my abs.I stepped back immediately,it felt like I was slapped on the face.I suddenly remembered who I was enthusiastically kissing, I remembered how I hated h
Lance's POV."Beta Dylan, why are you here?" I asked straightening immediately like I was caught doing something bad."Oh, Alpha, I came to brief you about what we discussed last time." he replied, staring at me like I've gone mad.I understood his stare immediately, I can't believe I was even startled when I saw him in the first place.He's my best friend, confidant and Beta, yet for some reason the memory of my kiss with Alyssa keeps messing with my brain somehow.I opened the door to my office and stepped in, Dylan walked behind me, "So tell me again, what am I giving them?" he asked.I sat on my desk, furiously typing on the laptop, I turned to Dylan who waited for me with his brows raised."We'll accept half of the terms, I'm trying to be at peace with them because I don't want unnecessary war and any attack to the pack." I passed him the letter."I'll make them know this." he replied, staring at the paper once more before folding it neatly into his pocket."So what's your probl
Alyssa's POV."Alyssa." I ran immediately, hoping I'll reach the head slave before she gets upset.It was late in the evening, the moon was high and bright above.The night air was crisp with the scent of freshly cut grass and pine trees.The sounds of crickets, and frogs were so loud they seemed to fill my eardrums like a drum beat.The breeze felt cool against my cheeks and tickled them gently."Yes ma'am." I said."You'll join the other slaves to serve in the club." She said,My eyes followed the direction she pointed and I saw other slaves lining up to enter a bus.I nodded, running closer to them. I stood in line too, waiting for my turn to enter the long bus.When it reached my turn, the driver opened the door and let me inside, soon we were all in and the car began moving.I never reached this side of the pack, and it made me realize how big the pack is."We're here." The driver said.I looked around. The bus had stopped at a fancy building.The music was blasting already, I c
Alyssa's POV.The shadow finally came in view, and my heart beat increased immediately I saw who it was.It was the man who tried to touch me inappropriately earlier.I felt so uncomfortable, I remember his anger when the Alpha told him to leave me alone."I can see you're here." He said in such a leering tone that sent chills down my bones.His eyes burned with malice as he glared at me, and I couldn't help but feel intimidated by the sight of such an emotionless face staring at me."I'm happy you're alone." He said coming closer to me, I stepped back immediately.I felt like I was being attacked and it scared me, I could barely breathe from fear as he leaned towards me to close the gap between us.He smiled, showing off his sharp teeth as he looked me up and down slowly. "You are so beautiful," he whispered."And I want you." He added.I shook my head, I didn't want him near me in any way, I kept stepping back and he followed my move."Go away!" I screamed, but it came out wrong. I
Lance's POV.I couldn't believe it when I saw her among the servers for the party.I was starstruck, her hair was packed stylishly and the gown brought out her shape.It took me many ounces of willpower to stop myself from touching her.My eyes raked the length of her figure, taking in every curve. She looked stunning. No one would have recognized her as a server or even a slave.I pretended to not care or stare as I danced with Belinda, but my eyes, mind and whole being were focused on her the whole evening.I was so entranced by her that when she walked into the bar room, I almost jumped straight to meet her.What was going on here?Did the moon goddess really decide to give me someone I hated as my mate,and made her this attractive?I wasn't myself when she served the meal, my eyes took in her form when she bent down to arrange the food.I wanted to touch her so badly I could see blackness clouding my vision from how badly I wanted to taste her skin.I shook my head, clearing awa
Alyssa's POV.I felt like I was in deep trouble, I don't know why I felt so, but I could feel it in my bones.It's a feeling that you get when you're about to make a huge mistake, or when you feel like you're going to get hurt for something you had no hand in.Since I came back from the party I was hurt after being almost sexually assaulted by the guest.And kissed by the Alpha, a kiss I didn't expect to enjoy so much.I bit my lips as the memories hit me again, even with the fear I felt then, the feeling of his lips on mine made me happy.My eyes fluttered shut as I remembered how warm his lips were on mine, how gentle he made me feel by running his fingers through my hair, and just by existing in general.I don't even care about how hurt I am, all I cared about was how it felt to be kissed by him.I sighed, remembering how the taste of his lips was still there. I could remember how he made my legs go weak under me and made me forget where I was and what I was doing. How I wanted mo
Alyssa's POV.The blasting headache woke me up, and I could tell right away it was the worst one yet today. My head felt like an entire building had been sitting on my skull and was now letting all of its weight sit there.I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes to a dim room with no windows and no signs of life whatsoever.The memory of what happened before I fainted hit me, and I tried standing up but the sharp pains in my ribs hit me.With a sigh, I leaned back against the wall and closed my eyes again. The memories of what happened yesterday came back to me like a broken record and I groaned once more, remembering how she beat me till I fainted.I didn't steal anything, but she didn't want to listen to me.I stared at my surroundings again and I realized it was a cell room.Not even a bed, just a hard floor and nothing to eat except some moldy bread that probably belonged to someone who was here before.The only light came from a small slit on the door and from a couple of small h
