Alyssa's POV.
I woke up feeling extremely weak,my whole body aching badly, I couldn't even stand or breathe properly.My limbs felt as if they were being ripped out of my sockets and the blood rushing through my veins had turned to ice.
I was so hot all over, like someone had stuck an electric blanket on my skin and my face felt as if it were about to split open from all of this heat that was seeping into the air around me.
It felt like there were hundreds of pins and needles piercing me in every limb at once.
My eyes hurt too much to open,it felt like someone had smashed them with a large hammer,and I could barely hear anything besides my own labored breathing.
I tried desperately to move but my body wouldn’t listen.
The door opened and his scent filled my nostrils, I couldn't stand the thought of my mate being the one who hurts me.
I didn't want to see him ,yet he was the one, I could feel the raw energy he possessed.
He walked to where I laid down, squatting down and he touched my neck,his eyes widened immediately.
"Adrian." He called out.
I heard footsteps outside the door and the door opening immediately.
"Yes, Alpha Lance." Adrian responded.
"Call the healer." Alpha Lance ordered.
"I haven't even begun what I have in store for you, so don't think of dying yet." Alpha Lance smiled.
"Please, just stop." I managed to say weakly and he laughed.
"I won't, I make sure I try every type of torture on you, you must go through everything I want you going through." He said.
"You're my mate, aren't you supposed to care?" I asked fearfully,I won't be surprised if he hits me again.
"The moon goddess hates you a lot, she made a mistake making you my mate, I won't reject you, that'll be too easy." He said.
"I'll make you wish I rejected you." He said.
My eyes turned, I could still barely see him, his shadow stretched across the room as he moved closer and closer, I knew how much pain he would inflict on me without meaning to.
The door opened and a woman walked in.
"You called me Alpha." She bowed and he nodded.
"Yes, make sure he healed, and when you're done, call me." He walked out immediately.
The healer walked close to me, placing her hands on me and closing her eyes.
She muttered some words under her breath and I was instantly flooded by an incredible amount of relief.
The pain began to subside and the world finally seemed to come into focus again.
I looked around trying to remember why I was lying here on the cold hard ground.
I remembered immediately, all the memories of what happened flooding back to me.
"You'll still have to take this medicine to be completely out of harm's way." The healer said.
I nodded not caring if I was healed or not, I wished I got to die, then I wouldn't suffer what he had in store for me.
The thought of what he'll do to me terrified me so much that I didn't care if my life was caught off right now.
I sat up trying to see if I felt great, yet it felt tiring and suffocating.
"You don't need to stress yourself." The healer said.
"And you need to take these drugs first before you'll completely regain your strength." She opened the bag she came with, handing me a bottle of water and a small smile tablet.
I swallowed immediately, hoping I'll regain strength soon.
"It won't kick it immediately, and you'll fall asleep soon, you'll get your you fall asleep." She stood up.
"Let me inform the Alpha." She walked out.
My eyes began swimming around,I could feel my eyes closing on their own while I tried staying awake ,it took all of my willpower to stay awake.
When my eyes shut, the last thing I saw was blackness.
*******I slowly awoke, everything felt fuzzy, yet everything seemed clear.I blinked a couple of times before I was able to fully comprehend my surroundings. I was still in the cell,but this time there were no chains on me.
It was obvious he untied me, my thoughts began straying to how he'll make my life be.
I knew he meant everything he promised, this made me more terrified of what he had in store.
It was obvious the mate bond didn't affect him as much as it did me, or maybe it did, yet I had no idea, I'm sure he doesn't feel a pang in his heart everytime he hurts me.
I stared at the door as an idea came into mind, I stood up shakily, excited that I could balance well.
I checked the door and saw no one, opening it slowly I gasped in relief when it opened.
I looked around, happy to see no one at all, my escape plan suddenly felt good.
I slipped out of the room completely, rushing down the corridor till I saw another small door.
I opened the door gently and it revealed a garden, beautiful blue flowers surrounded the perimeter.
I closed the door behind myself, looking around I could only find two exits, one leading deeper into the garden,the other to a set of steps leading downwards, I decided to walk downstairs.
As I walked down the stairs, I avoided every one I saw with a uniform, I could guess they were guards patrolling the area.
I hid every chance I got, making sure I wasn't seen by any of them, my goal was to take the place I got caught.
I remembered the route clearly, I avoided every guard successfully.
Finally reaching the door, I smiled at the success rate I just had, I couldn't believe it, yet here I was.
"I did it." I whispered softly.
"Now I'll be free from that monster of a mate." I opened the door and a gasp left my mouth.
Alpha Lance stood at the entrance staring at me with a smirk.
"Not so fast sweetheart, I haven't even started with you." He came closer.
"You can't escape me." He added dragging me with him.
Alyssa's POV."If you think you can escape me, you'll have to try harder, and you'll end up failing anyways." Alpha Lance said as he kept dragging me. My whole body ached from the little escape I attempted. I was pissed that I failed to escape his clutches, the memory of his torture and treatment of me hit me immediately, making me stumble while I got dragged along. "Please you're hurting me." I began pleading, thinking he will feel sorry, he is my mate, he should at least feel something for me. His answering glare made me swallow, I clenched my teeth expecting a slap when he raised his other hand. "Don't tempt me." He warned pointing at me, it looked like he was battling with the ability to not hit me. He ruffled his hair groaning in frustration as his nostrils flared. I yelped when he dropped me to the floor immediately he reached an open room. "Let me make one thing clear." He started turning to me. I bit my lips as I stared at him nervously, I expected him to announce my d
Alyssa's POV.I swallowed nervously when his loud voice echoed in the room. My knees wobbled as I leaned on the door slowly, my heart pounding furiously. I watched him home down from the bed walking towards me slowly, his steps felt like he was calculating carefully. I wasn't ready for the slap that hit me immediately, it felt like I was blown over by a tornado. I dropped to the ground, clutching my cheeks painfully while staring at him, I couldn't believe he hit me, I didn't do anything wrong. "Why didn't you knock?" He barked. "I knocked, I couldn't hear anything." I replied with tears forming in my eyes. "You should have waited for me to call you in." He barked. I swallowed nervously, waiting for another slap as he raised his hand up. He paused for a while, staring at me with narrowed eyes. "You can clean the room, and make sure it's clean before leaving." He walked back to the bed. "I thought you won't be back." The woman giggled, dragging him on the bed. My heart clenc
Alyssa's POV.My pace increased as I sped ran to the slave quarters. Trying to avoid whoever it was behind me, the footsteps kept following me, making me more tense and scared than I was before. The thought of what could happen if they caught up with me made my heart stop beating and a shiver ran down my spine. It felt like I was being chased by an angry wolf. My eyes trailed behind me, trying to see who it was. A gasp left my lips when I saw who it was, I paused immediately, sighing in relief when I realized it was just one of the pack's guards. The relief that I had enveloped me immediately, I was happy it wasn't anyone hurtful. “Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.” He said, smiling at me sheepishly. "You scared me." I replied looking down, I could still remember the feeling of fear that enveloped me when I heard footsteps follow me. “That’s because I didn’t mean to scare you." His smile grew wider as he took slow steps towards me, stopping only when we were face to face. "I'm so
Alyssa's POV. The noise in the slave quarters is deafening , almost as loud as if someone had turned up the volume on an entire room full of slaves. It echoes through every corner, like a chorus. The whole place seems to shake. But it wasn't shaking, the discussion made it sound like it would fall. I twisted my hands painfully as my memory drifted to the Alpha, how he hurt me yesterday. My heart clenched at the thought. He was such a bad Alpha, and I didn't know why. But I couldn't get him out of my head. I blame the moon goddess for making him my mate. He's so intense, and so darn handsome, I didn't like how attractive he is with the way he acts cruel, it makes me think of him even when I don't want to. I sighed in frustration as I waited for my turn. It was finally my turn, the head slave's eyes narrowed in anger immediately she saw me ,her mouth set in a straight line of disapproval. She grabbed the edge of my collar and forced me onto my knees. She held my head down by m
Lance's POV.I sighed as my thoughts trailed to a particular direction I didn't like. I hated that she was on my mind, it aggravates me so much, but I couldn't help it, Alyssa was always in my thoughts even when I shouldn't think of her. I should hate her more than I already did for who she is, who's daughter she is. I hate her for who her father is, and I promise that she'll pay for everything her father did. Hated that I thought of her when I wanted to think of something else, she somehow creeps into my mind. I hate how beautiful she is. Her light brown hair, hazel green eyes, and full lips. How the tip of her mouth would quiver when she smiles. How her cheeks get rosy when she blushes. The way her hair falls loosely over her face, framing her perfectly oval features. I want her to suffer so much she'll hate me, suffer so much it'll please me. I don't care that she hates me or what, all I care is that she suffers. Seeing her suffer will please me, and I'll make sure I punish
Alyssa's POV.I didn't expect to run into the Alpha, I was just avoiding the head slave, it felt like she was seriously on my case earlier.Immediately I realized who was talking to me, my heart began somersaulting like it was preparing for an athletic competition.I swallowed nervously as my eyes widened, when I stared at him,his wicked smile making me nervous. The way he looked down at me made my entire body shiver. I don't know if I was shivering because he's so fine or if I was shivering because I expected him to punish me.I knew I landed in trouble when I ventured here running away from the head slave.It felt like I moved from the frypan to the fire, but it wasn't exactly the opposite. It was the same feeling that happens when you go into a hot frying pan and you feel the heat.It wasn't painful per say, but it was uncomfortable.He had that effect on me. He was my mate after all, though he made it obvious that he hated me.It felt bad to know that my mate didn't like me, his
Allyssa's POV.I rush off, eager to make it to the slave quarters, my stomach growls and I take deep breaths to calm myself, pangs of hunger rattle my bones and fatigue seeps into my system, making me drowsy. I need to eat, so I move my legs faster, at least when I get to the slave quarters, I'll have a bite, as measly as it might be, it is still something.I stop in my tracks when I see a familiar face, it's Belinda, she looks elegant wearing a red dress with spaghetti straps and a sequined pattern embroidered from the breast to the waist, a gold coloured high heeled shoe adorns her ankles and foot and I immediately feel self-conscious, my clothes are wrinkled and dirty from work and my flats are at the point of depletion.She walks towards me with a menacing smirk that makes me ball my hands into fists, her elegance does nothing to hide the evil in her eyes as she smirks at me, I am tempted to give her a very unfriendly sneer in return, but that would only serve to make whatever pun
Alyssa's POV.I wipe my eyes with the palm of my hands, there is no need to dwell on what I just saw, but the image keeps replaying in my head, it has been seared in my mind and I can not seem to shake it off. My mate and that evil Belinda, right in front of me making out like the world would end if they didn't, "Hey you!" I hear the voice to my left and my stomach drops as I come to a screeching halt."Yes ma'am" I bow as the head slave appears in my peripheral vision."Where have you been?" She is stroking her whip and my whole body stills, the lie running through my head in a matter of seconds."I was cleaning the training area" I lie "I just dropped off the materials" My hearts thumping at full speed at this point and at this rate, I might have a heart attack.The woman's face contorts into an expression of rage as she sends a blinding slap across my face, I balk, the pain making fresh tears spring to my eyes."How dare you lie to me?" She begins, brandishing her whip threatening
