I spun around, my eyes scanning the surrounding area, trying to locate the source of the voice. The voice sounded familiar like I knew it but at the same time, so foreign and different.I scanned my surroundings and that's when I saw her, her hands outstretched towards Maxwell with a clenched fist, standing a few feet away from me, a gentle yet sly smile spreading across her face.I narrowed my eyes on her, expecting the worst. "What have you done to him?" I growled, my eyes shifting between her and Maxwell's form.She chuckled, charged by the fact that she held power over me now. "Oh, it's nothing too hard my powers can't do. He's just…… uh, how do I put this" She held her head high, as if deep in thought. "Frozen in time! Yes, that's it. He's frozen in time""What do you want, Niandra? And what the hell do you know where we were?" I snarled, hackles raised.Niandra chuckled. "Oh, come on, Alpha Laura. Don't be a sore loser. I always know where you are and this time, I need no interru
It's been a few days since my encounter with Niandra and should I say, my mind hasn't been at ease since that day.After Niandra's sudden disappearance, Maxwell came back to his senses and called upon me. He asked what was wrong and why I was suddenly pale. I only dismissed it as just being tired but I lied.I was not close to being tired instead, tormented by myself and what I had become.I've noticed Sonia and Alex's actions being subtle and rarely aggravate me anymore. I suspected that it must have something to do with what Niandra said, about them planning something huge to take me down.I've thought of all possible ways I was going to overcome this challenge and figure out what my nemesis plans to use against me but I haven't gotten to any length yet.The only voice in my head kept screaming was doing what Niandra said, I had to go in search of the beast of the east. He was the only one who could help me in such a situation.And where was Niandra by the way, I haven't seen her ev
"I, Alpha Laura Blackstone of Black Pearl Pack, reject you, Alex as my mate under the light of the moon goddess"My words seemed to have made the room silent again so that even a pin drop could be heard falling. But this time, I wasn't the one suffocating in the tension-filled room. It was Alex.His face seemed like all the air has been sucked out of it, his face turned red with rage, and his eyes seemed to burn with a fierce rage but there was deep pain in his eyes. One so evident that even his anger couldn't be a clear facade.Sonia who was looking angry at Alex before, her eyes widened in shock and she took several steps backward, stumbling on her feet and even her hand's own words, as if trying to say something but the words seemed to be Stuck in her mouth.No one spoke for the longest period before Elder Lucian's voice penetrated the air and broke the silence, his tone still calm and measured. "Laura….. I'm sorry, Alpha Laura" he corrected himself after seeing my glare:"Are you
LAURA's POV:"I promise you this. You'll regret this, You clueless girl. Everyone is against you and it's only a matter of time before you die, Alpha my shit!"Everywhere froze as he said that, especially the elders. Their eyes widened in shock and fear as they fidgeted.I too was scared of what this man just said. But not fear for my own being, but instead, fear of what I might do because of his naiveness and rage."What did you say?" My alpha tone has been deemed but the anger inside of me never subsided. It was clouding through my veins, raging inside to be let free.I couldn't believe someone like him would ever dare disrespect me or even threaten their Alpha. How dare he……..Everyone is against me and that's what I knew when I was reborn. I was truly alone here and Elder Alaric's words just proved it to be true.My breath quickened and I suddenly started hyperventilating. The air was becoming too thick for my lungs to accept and suddenly, I felt my throat itching, so much that I
LAURA's POV:I stared at the files in front of me, trying so hard to focus but it wasn't easy.The more I tried to concentrate, the more my mind drifted to the event that happened hours ago.I shook my head, probing myself to ease out my worries but still, the image plagued my mind."What's wrong with me?" I growled, angrily throwing the files on the ground.I was the Alpha of this powerful pack. I was supposed to take care of it and see it flourish but the more I looked at the paperwork that came with being an alpha, I wanted to lash out and tear it apart.I was not used to sitting in one place and doing nothing. Adrenaline pumped in my veins, making me uncomfortable sitting still.The file opened and I was faced with the details concerning the export of FireZeal, a very rare and important resource that's found only in this pack and it was what has kept my company afloat for generations.It was the Anchor of my family's name.I shouldn't fail them. I shouldn't let revenge and anger c
"What the actual hell, Laura"My eyes locked onto Sonia, my mind suddenly rising with a mix of emotions. I feel anger, guilt, and trepidation. But not for Sonia.It was for me. I looked down at my hands, and a tickle of my blood dropped on them. I left myself weakened to the exploit of another man.Maxwell was different and I could see that but how different. His father was one of the council elders and what I knew was that they all wanted to kill me and keep the throne for themselves.To have someone like Sonia and Alex sit on my throne. Someone who the elders knew they could easily control.Unlike me, I was level-headed and barely ever listened to their words.That was what I feared most.Why won't Maxwell be among them? What if he was just playing me, letting my guard now and marking me trust him and then, betraying me afterward?I wanted it not to be true but I couldn't let what happened the last time Alex killed me happen again, but this time Maxwell. I told myself not to trust a
