All Chapters of TALES OF LAURA’S STRUGGLE : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 12Ronald rushed to my side, concern etched on his face. "Freya, what's wrong? Are you okay?"I clutched my chest, struggling to breathe. "I...I don't know. My heart...it hurts."The maids exchanged worried glances, and one of them stepped forward bravely. "Alpha, should we call the healer?"Ronald nodded, scooping me up in his arms. "Yes, now."As he carried me away, my eyes could not leave his face. I wondered if his act of caring was just another show. I caught the gaze of the maid who had snorted earlier, Her thoughts flooded my mind and I could tell she had a huge crush on him "This is too convenient. She's faking it."I forced a weak smile, trying to reassure Ronald. "I'm fine, really."But he would not let me down. "You're not fine. You're going to see the healer, and we'll figure out what's going on with you, you can’t just cry in pain and expect me to believe you are fine." He snapped The healer's quarters were nearby, and soon I was lying on a comfortable bed, surr

Leah’s eyes locked onto mine, daring me, challenging me without a word. It was a message as clear as day, 'You don’t belong here.' The air on the training grounds felt stifling, weighed down by the watchful stares of the other warriors. Their whispered conversations floated around me, but I didn’t need to hear the words to know what they were thinking.I swallowed hard, trying not to let the knot of self-consciousness form in my chest. This wasn’t the time to falter. No matter how much I felt like an outsider, I had to prove myself. ‘This is your chance. Don’t back down!’ I thought to myself.Standing a few paces behind me, Ronald crossed his arms, his expression calm but supportive. That faint smile of his told me he believed in me, even when I wasn’t sure I believed in myself. For a fleeting moment, I wished he’d step in and stop this. But no. That would only solidify what everyone already thought—that I couldn’t handle it.Leah wasn’t just anyone. She was the fiercest female in the

16I was glad and Ronald finally accepted me as one of his pack member. He still looked withdrawn and guarded when he's around me, but it's step by step.I walked down the hallway leading to my room whistling silently. The past few days went well, no hitches and that alone was enough to make me happy. I wasn't watching where I was going, so I ended up bumping into someone. Hold up, they bumped into me. "Watch it!" The person yelled and I looked up in surprise. "You watch it!" I retorted, she bumped into me, why does she have to say something. "I don't understand, you come in here like you own the place and start bumping into people. You should get your eyes checked." She spat. I look at her, confused at her burst out. "Do you have a problem with me?" I asked and she chuckled folding her arms looking like the typical grade A bitch. "You may have used your witchy claws on Alpha Ronald and Leah, but you can't enchant us all." She snorted, walking past me, making sure to bump into m

I used my wolf's strength to increase my pace and surprisingly I was faster than most in their wolf form.Deep into the woods, I looked around and there was no sight of any wolf behind me. Hold on, did I go through the wrong route. I was about to turn back, when I heard howling of a wolf signifying it has caught a wild animal. "That's fast" I muttered, still walking around. That's when I saw her, Hayley sneaking up to one of the rogues. The rogue who was in wolf form had no idea of the impending danger behind. I had to help. I knew she had a mission when she joined, but why target one of the rogues. I crouched down just so she wouldn't see me and moved towards her. I threw a stick in her direction which she dodged. The rogue wolf turned to my direction and I muttered "run"It nodded and leapt away. I heard Hayley chuckled and I got on my feet. "They said we should hunt wild animals, not hunt wolves." I said, standing in her front. "What's the difference between then and a wild

Ronald's POVI didn't want Freya to join the warriors in the hurt and it was not because I thought she was weak or not capable. It was because I foresaw the danger that would come to her. I knew the wolves under my command like I knew myself, we were always hostile and extremely rude to an outsider. I knew my people would try to harm her and that's why I tried to stop her. She didn't listen and I let her go. I watched her movement, the way she ran and avoided dangers. She's good, and faster than most of my warriors in wolf form. I wondered how and why? I've never smelt her wolf and I thought she didn't have one yet, but how is she that fast? My eyes were keen on her when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to see an elder frowning at me and I immediately knew the reason. "What?" I asked, walking to have a seat prepared for me. "She has to go." He said, following me. "Who?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "The girl, the one you've been frolicking with. She needs to go." He sta
