Lance's POV.I don't know why I felt nervous or kinda upset for some reason.But it happened immediately I thought of her, I don't know why I felt sad but I did.So I went to get a cup of coffee, and when I came back my heart beat faster than ever and I was really sweating.I didn't like that she was on my mind,it was so damn annoying.I felt like she was in trouble because she's been kidnapped. It was a good thing I wasn't drinking alcohol because if I were it would definitely have made me choke and I needed the caffeine.My hands were shaking uncontrollably.And the worst part was I still thought about her. I felt angry, I hated this feeling so damn much but she was on my mind.She had taken control of my life.I had no idea how but somehow she managed to do that.That was why I was sitting here now, trying to calm myself down by drinking coffee.I felt guilty for even thinking about her. I'm supposed to hate her, and here I was thinking of her.Her lips came to my mind, they seeme
Alyssa's POV.My whole body ached, throbbing in time with my pulse.My mouth tasted of iron and blood, and I wondered how long it had been since I’d last eaten.Hours maybe, days. The world was hazy, indistinct, a haze that hid the stars above and made it feel like I might drown. My head hurt, too, pulsing in time with a headache that pounded along with each beat of my heart. There was a pain behind my eyes, as though they were being crushed. My skin felt thick like putty under my clothes. My teeth ground against each other, sending sharp needles of pain through my jaw, my lips.My tongue tasted of blood and dust, dry and gritty like sand in my mouth.And the air was hot, suffocatingly so, stifling me from breathing. My throat tightened and closed on itself, making it difficult to breathe. I choked, gasping for breath, but no breath came.My mind raced as I remembered everything that happened the last few minutes, and then the next ten minutes.My memories were scrambled, blurre
Alyssa's POV.I felt much better, but it didn't change that I was hurt.I could still feel sharp tremors down my body, which caused the wound in my side to burn and swell again.I tried not to make any movements when I went from sitting in bed to sitting on a chair, trying to stay as quiet as possible, lest I draw too much attention and be put through more pain.But the pain was still there, feeling better didn't change anything, especially after I had been given a glass of water.My throat was raw and dry, but my body still burned with pain at every movement, causing my chest to feel constricted and my heart to beat painfully fast.I knew that I couldn't stay in this position for much longer, so I decided to take some steps to the bathroom and I wobbled and fell down.The sudden motion made me dizzy again, and I closed my eyes tight, not wanting to get sick or lose consciousness again.It was bad enough that I was in the Alpha's room, and I didn't want to embarrass myself.If he saw
Lance's POV.I couldn't believe what I was staring at, she looked so hot my head felt like exploding.She looks so hot in my shirt, with her lips and eyes looking up from under the sheet as if they were asking me to come closer, touch her.I knew she'll be awake once I got here and I didn't expect her to wear the shirt gown I left for her.But she looks damn good, with her hair a mess, making it look more wild than normal."You're finally up." I said.She nodded, her cheeks red immediately, not used to being caught off guard, "Yeah..." She cleared her throat."I'll be leaving, thank you." She said, looking away again.I didn't know why I saved her or why I couldn't stop staring at her.She was gorgeous, there wasn't any other word that could describe her.Her beauty almost made me forget that I hate her, I should be hating her or doing something to make her suffer.But I don't care, I just can't help it. She looks so beautiful and sensual.It makes me want her bad. She looks good
Belinda's POV.I am beyond pissed that Alyssa has been found in the cottage, and my plan has been foiled, but I have another plan, and that is the reason I'm standing in the deserted part of a bush, waiting for a guard to show up.He comes along, his head bent, probably to stop anyone from seeing us, just like I ordered him. He comes to a stop in front of me, his eyes widening as he drinks me in, I smile, not a friendly smile, my smile is cold and assessing. He bows his head for all of three seconds and then opens his mouth and asks, "Miss, you called"I throw a hefty brown envelope at him, not bothering to dignify his words with a reply, the envelope hits his buffy chest with a thud and starts to slide down, he catches it, his eyes going wide."What's this?" He asks stupidly, and I grimace."That sum of money is your payment, I have a job for you, and that money is supposed to ensure that you do what I say and keep your mouth shut." I reply and he gulps, his eyes scanning the brown e
Allyssa's POV.My eyes are drooping, every time I blink, it's like someone is running gravel over my eyes, I'm just so tired, so exhausted, I'm now in my dark cell, wondering how the hell I jumped from the hot frying pan to the furnace, I just recuperated and got better yesterday and now here I am, in a jail cell, for something I know nothing about.My eyes sting as I blink tears away, the exhaustion clamping down on my muscles. The jail cell is damp and smells pungent, like urine and brine. A few rats scuttle to safety in the dim candle light, something crawls on my legs and I let out a yelp.Looking around the jail cell, it looks like it hasn't been swept in ages, cobwebs line the corners of the high ceilings, the bars on the door are rusted from age, there is no chamberpot or toilet which makes me wonder where I'm going to relieve myself. Despite the ache in my muscles from the way the guards had thrown me into the cell, I sat down and started thinking.I lay out the facts before
Lance's POV.Rogues. Rogues. Rogues.I hate them so damn much, I hate them to the point that the mention of rogues makes my blood boil, clouds my judgment and makes me want to strangle or throttle someone.The fact that Allyssa was in cohorts with rogues all this while is shocking, it has downright thrown me off my feet with disbelief, I should have known, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, she's just like her father, a traitor and a betrayer.My blood is literally boiling, my vision blackening at the edges with rage. I'm so angry, that I don't even wait as long as I'd been planning to, I make my way with a few guards behind me, to Allyssa's jail cell.The doors slide open before I can even get to them.My eyes are burning with fury and I feel myself shaking with anger as I look upon her condition.My stomach churns at how she's currently sitting on the floor, arms wrapped around herself tightly.I shake my head to rid myself of any pity I might feel for her, when I'm done with
Allyssa's POV.My head hurts. My skin hurts. My ribs hurt. Everything hurts. But mostly, my heart hurts.I remember vividly how the air had been cut from me when I was plunged into that water, I had swallowed a lot of water, thrashed around for help but he did not put a stop to it, they kept at it until I was depleted completely. It's a feeling I don't think I'll forget in a long time. The hatred in the Alpha's eyes was enough to make me stop and think for a moment. Not that there's any other thing I can do, stuck in this dank jail cell, with no food or water, I can't even walk around the damn cell because I'm chained to the wall.My ass hurts from sitting for so long, the chains are a bit long and would allow me to stand up, but doing that would probably make my ribs crumble, the throb in my head accelerates, my ears ring as my head keeps pounding.My wolf whimpers and tears flood my eyes, why did I have such a weak wolf? Why did the moon goddess have to pick me to be the Alpha's m
