Allyssa's POV.I knee him in the balls and he releases me, thankfully the storage room has a lot of exits and I slip away to the first exit.A man is standing there, looking down at me as if he dares me to come closer."Shit" I mutter under my breath, mystery man brought back up today.I hurry I'm the opposite direction, to another exit at the far east corner of the room, stopping in my tracks once more, my heart beats against my ribs, this is the end of me.I am surrounded.I don't have the slightest strength to go up against three of these men, and I definitely will not test my strength against them."Please let me go," I am walking towards the mystery man now, the other men closing in on me.My heart clenches with pain, I have been lucky thus far, I think my luck is running low.He lets out a boisterous laugh, "Why do you keep making this hard for yourself?" He asks and I gulp down air, my eyes wide and frantic, my mouth dry and parched as the desert, my mind whirring into motion.
Lance's Pov.Blood rushes to my crotch as my erection hardens, she gulps and I snake my hand around her waist dragging her closer till her body is lined up with mind and she can feel the immense erection.Her eyes dilate and she moans against me, I can smell her arousal, and it is intoxicating, she moans again, forgetting all sense of conviction as we stand there together, my hands roaming her body. The moment feels almost magical and I lean in to give her a kiss, she looks hesitant and normally I would stop and use my brain for a second, but the urge to kiss her very succulent lips makes me want to run wild.She looks embarrassed and shy and it just makes her more endearing. When I heard her in the closet and picked up her scent, my whole body had become a raging fire of lust and want, and the fire kept burning brightly.Finally she pulls aways, and I stare at her now swollen lips and smile.Her eye lifts and snags on my lips and she starts nibbling on her bottom lip.I want to kiss
Lance's POV.I am furious. Furious because there is no evidence whatsoever that can point us in the direction of who had committed the felony, everything had been erased and wiped with precision, even footprints. How did this even happen?I shout more orders which the men carry out in order to snuff out the fire.When the fire is completely snuffed out, I look around the smoke,the place a little foggy."Go inside and check if everything is intact" I command and two guards beside me run to do just that, I start pacing, feeling furious about the fact that someone had set fire to the building and gone scot free.They come running out with reports that some goods were burnt but some were untouched. The fact that our supplies had burnt send me into a flurry of anger, who would dare to do thisDylan sighs heavily, "what should we do about this issue?" He asks and I grind my teeth together."Now, we investigate" I say, then turning to one of the guards, "let's go check the CCTV footage" I
Lance's POV.I rush to Allyssa's room, the realization seeping in my bones, someone is trying to frame Allyssa for the fire in the storage room and that someone could probably be the person she said was chasing her.I enter the slave quarters, the few slaves sitting there start murmuring amongst themselves and giggling with each other, I ignore them and head to Allyssa's room.When I get there, I knock on the door, there is a bit of rustling on the other side but soon Allyssa opens the door, looking groggy, like she had been sleeping, or crying.Or both."ALPHA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" She asks in a harsh whisper and I shush her by making a smooth motion, putting my index finger on my mouth telling her to be quiet.She nods and gulps, probably thinking that I have come to punish her."Don't worry, you are safe, I just wanted to ask you a few questions, is that okay with you?" I ask and she gulps again then nods swiftly, her cheeks turning pink.What are you thinking in that dirty l
Belinda's POV.I spot Allyssa entering the slave quarters, and anger builds inside me.I asked that brute to do just one thing, I asked him to finish off Allyssa and yet he could not do it, he failed at such a simple task.And now she is still alive, and I am still stuck with waiting for Adrian to actually do his job.I call him, he picks up on the first ring, "Hello" His voice is muffled."Meet me at the back alley near the deserted route." I say to him and click off the call.Speedwalking in the direction of the alley, I barely notice my surroundings, my legs carrying me of their own accord."Oof" I bump into a wall of flesh and look up and it's Adrian with a goofy smirk on his face, I scowl at him."I told you to do one thing, you had one job, finish off Allyssa and that's is all, you even had extra men with you, how did that tiny Allyssa manage to escape you, I guess you are all talk and no action." Relax, I am going to do the job when I have the chance, I can't just kill her whi
Allyssa's POV.The head slave assigned me to clear the garden, buy more like the secluded part of it and honestly I am very grateful to have something that will take my mind off the latest happenings.I readily go to the garden, but I can't help but shake off an uneasy feeling, a chill creeps down my spine and I shiver. It's not even that dark yet but I already feel scared.There is a pungent smell around this area, and I cannot explain it, but it smells acidic and just wrong, exactly the way the mystery man smells.It's weird that I can now smell it, and it's creepy that his smell is hanging around this place. What if he pops out of the bushes and drags me away.Now that I think about it, this place looks very secluded and ominous, the hairs in my arms stand on end, fear clawing its way through my chest.I spot the heap of garbage that I am supposed to dispose of and walk towards it, this should be easy.Get garbage, dispose of it, get the hell back to the slave quarters.I breathe i
Allyssa's Pov.I take hold of Talia's hand. I need to tell her exactly how I feel about this whole situation "I have to tell you something, hear me out before you blow me off, I feel like Belinda is up to something, and it isn't something good, also there is a strange man that is going around wreaking havoc, he has tried to kidnap me many times." I explained."But I got lucky, it has been on my mind for days and I just needed to tell someone. So yeah, this is me telling you to be careful, I have a very bad feeling about Belinda." I finish and huff out a breath, waiting for Talia to laugh at me and tell me that I am just paranoid to be thinking all this nonsense.But Talia does not react like that, instead she grabs hold of my arms and whispers " Someone tried to kidnap you?! Why didn't you tell me?! How could you hide such a thing from me?! " "Calm down Talia, see, I am fine, I got lucky a few times now, maybe the universe is finally turning around in my favor, also , I did not wan
Allyssa's POV.My hands are shaking and I ball them into fists. She should not have this effect on me, but she does, and in all honesty, I am terrified of her and whatever she has planned.Not long ago, I told Talia to be careful, that Belinda was dangerous, but now, it looks like she is spinning a web and I am about to get trapped.My heart hammers against my chest, and I feel bile rising at the back of my throat. What if Belinda or her spies actually heard what I was saying to Talia?The thought unnerves me so much that goosebumps creep up my arm. I cannot shake the feeling that Belinda has something planned, like she is up to something and she has a trick up her sleeve that I do not know of. Again that feeling, like I'm prey, about to get trapped by a monstrous predator.I waste time, dallying around, doing absolutely nothing, Talia has been my excuse, but she needs rest, I can't go bothering her while she is hurt.After about an hour or two, I start picking my way to Belinda's
