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
Alyssa's POV.I ran immediately. He screamed at me to go, my throat still hurting, but I ran anyway, because he wanted me to run away from him. With the way he was angry, I don't know what he would've done to me after pressing my neck.My eyes were watering again, tears of pain and fear, and it felt like my heart would beat out of my chest if it didn’t calm down already. I had been so afraid when I saw him, I came to the forest to calm down a little.I kept running, until I reached the stream. I stopped in front of it and started taking deep breaths, trying to calm myself down. It wasn’t working, I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my body, making me feel hyper aware of everything around me.The water made my neck sting, but my heart didn't feel any less heavy as it pounded against my ribcage, and I needed to stop that too.I started crying, as I remembered how he was cruel to me.If I kept it up, it'd only make me cry harder, and then I couldn't control myself anymore. S
Lance's POV.My route back to my room after my angry episode was cut short.When I was suddenly approached by the head slave, I raised my eyebrows in question."What is it?" I asked."All the slaves report to the slave quarters every time they finish what they are to do for the day, but every time Alyssa fails to do that.""It feels like she's always evading the job.""Or maybe she's in cahoots with the rogues for real." She added sternly."She'd never dare." I scoffed, I already knew she was in the forest where I left her.But for some wicked reason I want her to suffer."I'll see that she pays for it." I said and the head slave nodded and walked away."Oh and when she's back, punish her." I added feeling a little gleeful for what I said.I stalked to the forest finding her asleep on my way there, her body wrapped in branches close to the stream, her face still covered by the thick leaves.I sighed, annoyed, I really wanted to hurt her more than this. I knew she fainted from exhausti
Alyssa's POV.I woke up with a cold due to lying down on the cold hard floor.My whole body feels sore and it hurts when I move my neck. My eyelids are glued shut as if trying to block out the pain I felt, yet they wouldn't budge even an inch.There’s no sound in the room and I have this feeling of suffocation that I can’t get rid of, so I try to focus my eyes. My vision is blurry because of tears forming at the corners of my eyes as I remembered everything that happened last night.My heart was beating too fast and I kept thinking about how I could escape from here, but then I realized that there was nowhere to escape,I was in a hidden cell.I didn't know which part of the dungeon he hid me in, but I hoped it would be easy for me to escape.Though I knew escaping would only make the Alpha angrier.I glanced around the cell room, my head throbbing.I groaned in pain as my headache seemed to increase ten times more when I tried to stretch myself as I glanced around.My whole body f
Alyssa's POV.I woke up tired and weary again, my whole body sore with a dull ache from sleeping on the cold floor for too long.A thin layer of sweat covered my skin as I struggled to sit up.My fingers were stiff, the pain reminding me that the cold night wasn’t all that good for my joints. The door to the apartment was shut, and all I could hear was the steady pitter patter of rain against the zinc.I tried standing and it hurt, but I managed to get my legs underneath myself before falling back down. My arms shook so much my muscles were barely functioning.How many days had passed since he left? Too little sleep, too much thoughts.The only times I got to think in here were when I fell asleep on the floor and dreamed of him being nice to me, not the way he treated me that way.I sighed suddenly feeling dejected, unable to fight the feeling that came over me like a dark mist.My throat felt thick with tears even though I desperately tried to suppress them with every fiber of my b
Lance's POV.I carried her over my shoulders, my cock already hardened, and my balls burning with desire for her, I held her tightly as she struggled trying to get down."Don't tempt me into dropping you." I said my voice was a little husky.She just huffed at me like an exasperated mother, but still continued to struggle. I couldn't blame her though, I didn't know what I was doing or why I carried her.I was done with punishing her, I didn't even know what to do with her anymore.I sighed as I dropped her on the bed immediately I reached my room.I watched as she stood up immediately, rushing to the bathroom immediately.I rolled my eyes when the door closed with a loud bang.I knew she was hiding away from me, from what I had done.I don't know why I freed her, but I felt tired and suffocated from every punishment I gave her. If I hit her or injected her with something, I would be hurt more than ever.The more I punished her, the more pain I felt. The more I tortured her, the dee
Allyssa's POV.I picked my way in the direction of the slave quarters, I sneaked off when the Alpha was not looking.My mind whirring, the wheels turning in my head, my thoughts are in disarray, I'm sure my confusion is clearly written on my face, and the reason for my confusion is none other than Alpha Lance. The Alpha's hot and cold behavior towards me is getting to me and it's making me uncomfortable and confused. First he locks me in a cell and tortures me to his fill and then he starts doting on me as though he wants me to be his mate, which we both know is untrue.The Alpha has always made his hatred for me and my father known and if he had a choice in who his mate would turn out to be, then I would definitely not be on the list.I have no idea why Alpha Lance hated my father so much, the blatant dislike he has for my father has passed onto me and he hates me with a passion, which explains his actions days earlier where he took me to the cell and tortured me, my body still ach
Allyssa's POV.I wake up groggily, a sharp pain shooting through my skull, I attempt to stand up but my body feels foreign, painful, I look around me, I'm in a shed, on a pile of what looks like hay.I blink I'm confused at first, then everything starts rushing back, the lie the Alpha told the Head slave, the punishments, fainting out of exhaustion.I try to roll over but instantly regret it, my back is on fire, I let out a low sob, looking at my arms and legs, surely enough angry welts with the outline of the Head Slave's whip look back at me and I hid my face in embarrassment and shame, taking a bath will be a real hassle.I have to stand up, my shirt is stiff in some places where the blood has dried, I walk to the door of the shed and yank, but it doesn't give."Great! So I will just stay here, hungry and covered in my own blood, because of something I didn't even do." I muttered to myself.Anger bubbles inside of me and I try to suppress my emotions, Belinda and the Alpha are just
