Allyssa's POV.I can't help but mumble to myself when I leave the Alpha, he's playing his tricks on me again and he thinks I'll be stupid enough to fall for his tricks, I'm not daft, he hates me and was probably trying to set me up again.My body cannot bear to receive another bout of punishments, so I had to take my chance and escape before he could stop me. He probably told the Head Slave something incriminating about me.I wouldn't put it past him to do something like that, judging from what happened yesterday. Keeping my distance is the best thing I can do for myself. I growl in frustration, entering the garden, I pick a little work basket and move towards a row of flowers, I bend and start pulling the weeds out of the soil with my gloved hands."Foolish stupid Alpha" I pull the first weed and visualize his face, with each weed I pull and deposit in the basket, I think of it as his hair and pull with an intensity that shocks even me."What was that whole drama about leaving the b
Allyssa's POV.I start struggling against his grip yet the bastard looks amused. I wonder who this man is. Why must each day come with its own sorrows, can't I just have a peaceful day?I yelp as he tightens his hold on my wrist, grinding my bones, "Let go of me immediately," I struggle, " I said unhand me" my voice is raw and throaty.He bursts out laughing, sending spit flying to my face. I make a disgusted expression but mostly I am shocked, laughing was the least I expected him to do, but then just as abruptly as he started, he stops laughing and starts glaring at me with venom clearly written on his face." If you think you are going to escape from me that easily, then you must be in over your head, if you think I'll let you go, you are very wrong, I came here for you and I am going to leave here with you in town" He replies." Who are you? What do you want? I don't even know you? Why are you doing this? Please let me go, I am just a slave, please please I beg you please let me g
Lance's POV.My jaw tightens and I barely register the fact that Allyssa is bowing to me, the image of that stranger's hand dangling dangerously close to her breasts is seared into my mind and I can't shake it off.I do not want to say that I'm jealous, but I am, honestly, I am very pissed that I could strangle someone with my bare hands.How dare he, scratch that, how could she walk around flaunting him like that, it is strictly forbidden for slaves to behave in such a dishonorable manner and I have half the mind to punish her right here, but I hold myself back. I am so angry, the anger is so overwhelming that I want to hit something, I am confused as to why I'm feeling this way, it's so confusing and conflicting with the hatred I have for her. The man straightens and looks around, finding that Allyssa had slipped out of his grip, I squint and manage to glare at him at the same time, something about this man does not feel right.Like there's some dark cloud hanging over his head, h
Allyssa's POV.After regaining my breath, the Head slave walks up to me, I bow to her but she does not acknowledge my greeting.Instead she walks to me menacingly looking very pleased with the stiffness of my posture, as though that is the trophy she received for punishing me.Who knows maybe the Alpha even congratulated and gave her a gold medal for wreaking havoc on my body, I clenched my jaw, to prevent tears from falling.I should be happy, at least I escaped from that strange weirdo, at least that counts for something, maybe my lunch is not just pure rotten luck. "If you are done with the garden, then move to the training area immediately, it needs cleaning and the equipments need their maintenance,get moving, there is no need for you too stand here, looking like a fish out of water" She sneers and I sigh inwardly, but keep a neutral expression on my face."Yes ma'am" I mutter dryly, turning towards the door and heading out, when I look over my shoulder, she is striding back to
Lance's POV.Watching Allyssa speed walk out of the room, her knees wobbling and hands injured tugs at my heart strings and I look towards the door she just exited from.Instead of feeling satisfied about what I had done to her, I feel… hurt, like I have made a big mistake, as if I'm being swallowed by the gulf of distance between us, how I went from feeling hatred for her, to feeling hurt when I make her life miserable.I need to talk to her, that much is clear, firstly because I need to ask her who the hell that stranger was, and why he was holding her so intimately, it has been eating at me since I saw them earlier. I want to know where he disappeared to, and how he knows how to find his way around the pack so well, even if he is a stranger. Also, I need to find out if she is okay. After scrubbing the floor till her fingers bleed, I feel very shitty and I need to know if she is okay. "I will talk to you later, I have something to do" I say to Belinda, just to be polite, of course
Allyssa's POVI walk briskly, ignoring the clawing in my chest about the Alpha's attitude towards me, in the direction of the Slave quarters.Funny how a place as ominous as the slave quarters has become a comfort zone for me, the only one I have.Belinda and the Alpha keep devising ways to make my life harder with each passing day and I don't know if I will be able to hold out. I hate the fact that he saw me at my weakest point, something I promised myself would never happen. What was he feeling when he watched me wipe my face and immediately knew that I was crying, triumph? Satisfaction? Pity?! The thought makes me shiver,the Alpha pitying me has to be the worst of all the possible emotions he could have for me.I don't want his pity, because I know it's not real, he hates me and that's that, I am not going to delude myself into thinking that the Alpha has any other emotions for me apart from hatred and revulsion, he's probably keeping this mate bond between us so that he can to
Allyssa's Pov. "No!" I groaned immediately"No! No! No!" I whispered.The entrance to the slave quarters is locked, and that's when I notice the time, it's past curfew for the slaves and since it's dark, the pack members are probably in their beds.How could I have stayed out so long that I had completely missed curfew, I will be in so much trouble with the Head Slave, if I get out of this alive. Panic sets in, if I don't find a secure place to hide now, this man will surely catch me and who knows what he is going to do to me when he does.I swallow, catching a flash of movement behind me, I immediately start running, I need to figure out where to hide, I cannot be out in the open, and I cannot run towards the secret entrance into the slave quarters, that would be a very stupid thing to do, I definitely cannot lure him there.I have only one choice now, there is only one place I know that I can go where this freak will not follow me. The Alpha's Chambers.I turn a path and propel
Allyssa's POV.I don't know what to do with this request. I must not have passed out very long because it's still dark outside, but the slaves wake up very early to go about their duties, and I may be lucky and the door to the slave quarters will be open."I'm sorry Alpha, but I really need to go, I cannot stay" I say to him as respectfully as possible.He stares at me, probably shocked that I refused to stay with him in his room."I insist, you should stay here, you're barely standing, staying here is the best option" He says, and I hang on to every word.I am about to agree and weaken my resolve, when I remember the fact that I had decided to put myself first, by doing such actions as ignoring the Alpha and any other pack member that may prove to make my life difficult at any time, and staying in the Alpha's room, with the Alpha, goes against those rules.I will not let myself get confused or deviate from my path, I have made my decision and I am going to damn well stick by it, eve
