Lance's POV."I asked a question." I repeated, his eyes widened in fear again as he was finding it hard to breath while staring at me.His fingers shook slightly as the air around them began to vibrate with nervous energy.I didn't even do much to him and he was already scared, my eyes narrowed as I waited for what he'd say.I'm waiting for the next words that would change everything, I needed to know who sent them to attack her in the first place.They never came as his lips pressed together like thin white lines and he looked away, shaking slightly."I...I was..." He whispered in barely audible voice. I frowned deeper as my eyes narrowed at him suspiciously, he wasn't saying a thing and that was making me more upset."What were you trying to say?" My patience was starting to wear out.It was almost like he didn't hear anything I said because he kept glancing at me, as if something or someone could be watching from behind my back.I crossed my arms tightly against my chest, leaning
Alyssa's POV.I woke up with a wince, and I was not exactly pleased about it as I remembered the night before.I remembered how I was punished by the Alpha, I am happy I got saved at the last minute.I could still remember what happened to me, before I came back to the pack.I tried standing up, but my body ached like crazy, I groaned out in pain. My mind had already started racing around in panic, wondering if I would get in trouble again.I sighed as I tried standing up again, this time I managed to sit up. My hand went to rub my head in agony. The headache had become so intense.I felt myself falling back onto the mattress as I tried to find the strength to move. This was all too much for my head.My body hurt, my muscles ached and I didn't think I wanted anything more than some quiet, a shower and sleep.I forced myself to concentrate and open my eyes, I realized I was in the Alpha's room.A blush stained my cheeks, as I thought of him meeting me in his bed.Though it has happen
Alyssa's POV.This time when I opened my eyes, all I could see was white. It took me a while to realize it wasn't snow and I was just staring at the ceiling. A sharp pain hit me immediately, and I groaned as I moved my arm around trying to find out where it hurt worst. A lot of it, actually. Like most of my body. Everything felt sore and tender.I remembered fainting after the pain was too much, I thought it would be gone when the healer told me it was just side effects.I hated the fact that every time I went there seemed to be some new pain involved. As if someone put something in the drug the head slave gave me.The pain didn't stop, it was worse than it was earlier.Which didn't make sense to me, since I had been asleep for several hours from the time I saw now, the pain could've subsided as the healer said it would.I tried standing up, but the moment my feet touched the floor, they began throbbing, like an intense ache in my whole leg.I winced and collapsed on my bed, hold
Alyssa's POV.I couldn't believe Belinda was sneaking into the room.I closed my eyes, trying to pretend I was sleeping, but the fact of her being here kept me from doing that.I suspected that she had something to do with how I felt when I woke up, I just didn't know it would be true.She must have been waiting for me to sleep, I'm sure she was close to the door, enjoying my cry of pain.I couldn't understand what her problem was, and why she hated me and wanted to kill me.She was making several attempts, some she made me know and some I suspected.Right now she was making my suspicion true.I could hear her getting closer to my bed. She stood close to me and I hoped I was able to pretend that she wasn't here and that I was sleeping.She paused for some time, my heart beating repeatedly, I wondered if she had left yet, or if she would try something else.I couldn't open my eyes, it felt like she would catch me, and I was so scared of what she wanted to do.I didn't want to feel pai
Alyssa's POV.I couldn't believe him, he was back to being cold, he was caring and now she was eating and kissing, he even sent me out of the room immediately.My heart aches a lot, and it hurts all over when I remember them kissing repeatedly.It hurts so much, I can't believe this, I don't know what's happening anymore. I've been trying hard not to cry. I have always cried. I'm supposed to be happy that he finally gave me attention after a while but he showed me that my happiness was for nothing.I winced as I stumbled on a large stone, it sent me rolling, and I ended up hitting something solid with a thud. I groaned as I rubbed the sore spot on my head where it hit something hard and sharp and I looked at what I hit, I sighed when I saw the rock.I really didn't want to get up because then there would be another painful experience, I wasn't strong completely and I was hurting already, physically and emotionally.It weighed down, like an anchor keeping me from moving forward.
Alyssa's POV."Where have you been?" the head slave asked immediately I entered the slave quarters."I was working ma'am." I lied, I hoped she wouldn't be upset, my heart was thumping loudly.I was sure she could hear it, "I was told you went to meet rogues." The head slave walked closer to me.I stepped back, I didn't want her getting any closer to me, she could hit me immediately.I knew how frequent she was about punishing other slaves."It was a mistake." I replied softly.I wasn't ready to get into trouble with her, I'd already got punished for what I didn't do and I still got hurt after being healed, I didn't want any form of pain.She narrowed her eyes and studied my face, before nodding at me once and walking away without another word to me.I breathed a sigh of relief, I made sure not to look in the direction of where she'd gone, afraid that she would turn around and catch me looking at her. I hurriedly walked towards my room, trying to calm myself down, it's alright, nothi
Lance's POV.I woke up with a start, sudden familiar memories plaguing my mind.My hands trembled as the memory of that night came to mind.My heart sank as tears stung my eyes. I had been in bed for so long when suddenly everything flooded back to me.The horror of how I suffered and everything that I went through replayed in my head. It was like it happened all over again.But it hadn't. It couldn't have.I knew this because I wasn’t there anymore.I could feel that I was in my room, but the memories became vivid.Everything came rushing back to me in an instant.Everything, the pain from the torture that night, the screams that escaped my lips while I was being held down.Her father!!! I could remember it perfectly . He had beaten me bloody without even caring, not sparing any remorse about almost killing someone's son.I remember the pain of losing my parents again, feeling utterly alone and helpless.I remembered the fear that plagued me every day, I was shaking right now the
Lance's POV.Seeing her increased my rage, it felt like he was staring right at me.My eyes burned from the intensity of my glare.She stared at me nervously, her eyes darting around the forest.I wondered why she was here, but my mind was clouded with refreshed hate right now.The memories that came in the form of nightmares made me angry, they were all I could think of as I came here to get rid of them.She looked like him and that made me feel like he was here right now staring at me.I felt like he was mocking me as well, through her, I felt like he was staring at me.But it was just her with her crazy resemblance, nothing else.The way she looks so similar to him. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I can't stop looking at her, it feels like I should make her pay again.I walked closer to her and she stepped away fearfully.But I didn’t care if she was afraid, my gaze never left hers.She stared back at me with such terror, such desperation in her expression.Her breathing s
