Laura.Williams has long gone and he hasn't returned yet, hasn't he found Asher yet? What do I do if he isn't found?I bit hard on my nails pacing to and fro the basement of my room. The clock ticked and my eyes connected to where it lay in a swift movement.Shit! It's just 30 minutes and I'm this panicked already, just come already Williams!!I stepped out to receive some fresh air as I was already dying of panic, I walked some length away from my room when I heard murmurs coming from the other side.I walked closer so I could hear them clearly and found out it was the maids. "I heard he is nowhere to be found, then what becomes of our pack?" One said in panic and that didn't go down well with me."Goddess forbids any of that, shh, how can you say such I'll words." The other maid said in surprise, signaling her to lower her voice.I stood at the brick of all this, muffling in my fears. What if they were right? What if something bad has happened and Williams is scared to tell me, jus
Lia.The cell gate started creaking and my pale body jumped to life, Is that Asher finally coming to rescue me?My limbs barely moved, as I released a breath I felt pains. They have become so pale that I fear they will tear if I cry or shout.A shadow appeared before my eyes, it was the shadow of a man whom I have great disgust for but unfortunately have developed so much dread for.Ryan. He has become so tall and giant since the day he pushed a slap across my face. I managed to pull myself up, balancing my weight on my right arm. My chained feets were starting to hurt.A bright light shone on me, almost rendering me blind. I was weak due to the coldness of the room, I couldn't even lift a finger, I just stared into the light wishing he would put it away soon."How are you coping in this frozen room? Do you want me to light a fire?" He frowned softly, sarcasm hovering over his words."Are you mocking me now, light a fire? Pfft.." I scoffed, "you can as well get me something to eat."
Laura.My joy knew no bounds when I saw Asher moving his fingers, I never expected him to wake up soon and he did. What a miracle."He's awake!!" The words came out in a scream, totally escaping me.Williams and Pedro rushed to check on him at once and the faces they wore was a sign of relief.Though Asher was awake but he barely kept his eyes open, his lips started to form words and we pulled close to him to hear what he had to say."Williams, Pedro.. Lia?" He said slowly, as if counting his words and who was he calling Lia?"Lia?" He said again this time with uncertainty written all over his face. I exchanged puzzled glances with the guys and stared at him again to be sure he wasn't seeing things and was actually referring to me.Seeing the happy smile on his face irrespective of his wounds, I moved my hand to his face and held his cheeks in a tender way, grazing it softly, "yes Asher, it's me, Lia." I almost smiled out my eyes as I gave him a reply.Yes, I shouldn't lie but it fee
Lia.It was the dawn of a new morning and my feets were like stone. I had slept in a very awkward position and now moving them is becoming so painful.My neck hurts, my body hurts. Can somebody come to rescue me please? My throat was so dry and my stomach won't stop grumbling for food.Is it until I die that Ryan would give me food, I'm merely a living corpse here.My body was hurting so much, I needed to move, else I would die. At least let me enjoy my last meal before leaving this cruel world.With this thought in mind I started to crawl, using all the remaining strength in me to pull myself forward. I continued crawling until the heavy chains around my legs clicked.I looked back beadily to see what was holding me back and found out it was the chains tied to my legs, I can't move away too much due to how short they were.Dammit!"I need something to eat, anybody!" I shouted suddenly, hoping within me that the guards outside would hear me."I need water, I'm dying of thirst here!"
Asher.My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I saw was the roof of a dark room. I heard a deep snore and jerked up instantly.A groan escaped me as my feets made contact with the cold floor, I could barely see anything so I followed a small light that was reflecting through the window.I drew the cottons and opened the window, I shut my eyes due to how bright the sun was, I quickly stepped away from the window and only then did I notice the lady sleeping on a chair next to the bed I was laying on a couple of minutes ago.I took quiet steps to her and tried to touch her when she stirred in her sleep, sniffing quietly. Was she crying before she fell asleep?I left her to rest and walked to the door but as I pulled it open it was locked. My head rolled back and forth in a quick motion that almost lost momentu of myself but I was fast to hold onto the door knob for support.It was as if I was carrying a thousand heads in my neck, my vision was blurry and bitter. No matter how hard I
Lia.My eyes were on alert, the guard was yet to arrive and anxiety is getting the better of me. I bit on my nails, my eyes never leaving the gate, what must be keeping him? He was supposed to be here minutes ago, did he reject me?Argh… Ryan will never reject me, he desires me and I know he would go against his father to get what he wants, but why is he not coming yet?Urghhh!! I ruffled my hair as I didn't know what to think anymore. My butts were tired of sitting so I laid down instead, not minding if I will catch a cold from laying on the floor. I was left here to die anyway.I had barely closed my eyes when I heard the creaks of the gate, my eyes snapped open, a smile crossing my face as I lay eyes on the prison guard."What did he say?" The joy that filled my voice was out of this world. He hasn't said anything but I have already gotten my answer from his face."He wants you out of this hell hole immediately" he said simply and I couldn't hide my evil grin."What did I tell you
Lia's pov.The maids bathed me and applied lotion to my skin, applied makeup on my face and put me into a very big dress. It was so uncomfortable but I dare not say a word.The stigma the prison guards left was still very much alive in me, hence I restrained myself from any conversation with the maids.Hell, I wanted to ask so many questions, questions like how my aunt and nephews are taking the news and why I was dressed in a heavy gown instead of a sex workers attire.Or am I getting married without my consent? Why on earth will Ryan ask them to put a gown on me when I only accepted to be his mistress. Not like my uncle would accept me as a bride and who does a wedding in mid evening.Just what the fuck is going on, I'm dying if confusion here."Please keep your head high." The head maid said and I complied.They were styling my hair and applying all sorts of treatments to it, my stomach grumbled and I bit my lip in an attempt to stop it."Are you hungry, oh my I'm sure you haven't
I wondered if there was some kind of event going on in the Pack when we arrived. As expected, Ryan had doubled the security of the Pack border but my men were more than prepared for the assault that followed. My Beta, who had been hankering on being beside me in any place I went, came long, and his contribution at the border was quite substantial.The dark, night sky was graced with a half grown moon and a few stars, so the world was basically as black as charcoal. But our perfect werewolf eyesight was able to let us see our enemies as though it was daylight.They were stationed at every nook and cranny of the border, so they already knew we were coming and stood at the fringes of the line that separated the Pack from another territory, patiently waiting for their kill.There were no negotiations since I wanted to save my woman and take her back home. I knew she was still alive but I had this feeling that she was terribly hurt, and the thought alone drove me crazy. I wondered what Rya
