I was just about to blow out the candle and retire for the night when the door suddenly burst open.I stood up immediately, grabbing the candle stand as I did and squinting to see who it was.My breath hitched in my throat and I felt something close to shock and fear.“Andrew?” I managed to choke out, my heart racing with fear as it always did whenever I was close to him.I was suddenly aware of how thin my dress was and I dropped the candle stand, before pulling the thin nightdress tighter around my body. “What are you doing here?”His chest rose and fell rapidly, his eyes, those once-familiar eyes, now gleamed with something feral.He didn’t answer, instead, his eyes raked over me with unsettling intensity. I swallowed hard, my hands tightening around the dress. I had never seen such deadly look before.My stomach twisted and I forced the words out of my mouth. “Get…Get out,” I said,
AlysiaI glanced around, using my ears to listen for footsteps but I heard none. I began walking away, taking the lightest steps of my life.I was nervous, every step felt like I was stepping on hot coal. I exhaled deeply as I walked through the first passage, muttering a prayer.I was trying to check for the door Sarah hsdhad talked about. I reached the kitchen and just as I was about to push the door open, I heard a noise behind me.“What are you trying to do?” Buff’s deep voice vibrated behind me and I jumped in fright, turning around with fear as I stared at his deadly eyes.“What!” He thundered, taking a step towards me and he was a step away when Sarah suddenly appeared from the passage, panting heavily.“There you are… you really want to win this game, even going to an area that we never talked about, ma’am.” Sarah said in between pants and Buff turned around.“What i
AlysiaI had breakfast and Andrew left before I could finish, saying he had urgent matters to settle.I returned to my room to see Sarah pacing around nervously. She jumped out of fright the moment I opened the door.“You scared me.” She shrieked and I shrugged. “Is there a problem?” I demanded and she nodded.“There’s a lot of oroblem. I just overheard Alice, she’s going to kill you Alyisa.” She warned and I smiled.“She can’t harm me, they need my powers.” I replied and she shook her head.“She’ll kill you after the war. The only reason she’s still letting you do your will is because they’re yet to use you… She’s going to kill you, immediately after the war.” Sarah explained and my eyes widened in shock.“What… Sarah… I need to escape soon, I can’t stay any longer. I do not want the war to happen neither do I want to get killed.” I replied, my face filled with worry and she nodded.“I managed to get a guard to tell me about the exit, there’s a secret door at the kitchen… It leads to
Alysia“Your maid.” Sarah’s voice rang out as she knocked on the door and I rose from the bed. I pulled the door open and scanned the passage for anyone before bolting it.“How are you doing?” I whispered cautiously and nodded with a faint smile.“I’m not in trouble at least.” She replied and I nodded, glancing around her body for any injury I needed to heal.She had a few marks on her arms and it took less than a minute to heal them. “Do you think it’s right to keep healing me? Won’t they get suspicious?” She asked and I shook my head.“You’re from a beta family, they should know your wolf heals very fast.” I replied and she nodded.“Have you been able to find anything?” I demanded and she nodded.“I’ve been speaking to the maids from the Bloodmoon pack. It’s more complicated than you think, you’ll need the goddess’s blessings to be able to make it out.” She explained and I exhaled.“I have to try my best, we can’t keep staying here.” I replied.“He's planning on using you to start a
DamonDamon staggered into the bar and slumped on the chair.“Two bottles of vodka.” He said, his eyes struggling to stay open and the bartender shook his head with sadness.“Alpha… You shouldn’t be drinking. From the looks of things you've had more than enough to drink. I think you should cut back on your drinking for now.” He advised and Damon glared at him with anger.“What… What do you mean… Are you refusing my order!” He thundered and the bartender shook his head vigorously, bowing slightly.“No, I just feel it’s best if you get some rest.” The bartender added quickly. Everyone in the pack knew he was a mess because of his mate who had been captured.It had been days and days were slowly rolling into weeks. He couldn’t get her back and with each passing day, he became worse.“Give… Me… What I want or… I’ll… I’ll shut this place down!” He threatened as he stood up sluggishly.He looked around the half empty bar and decided to sit at a private lounge.“I’ll be… waiting… Don’t… Don’
AlysiaAndrew was staring at both of us, a hint of doubt in his eyes. His eyes darted to Sarah who was kneeling on the ground with tears in her eyes and he broke into a smile.“I see you've already begun torturing her. Don’t stop, she deserves more than that for all she put you through.” He muttered and I nodded, glaring at Sarah.“I’m going to make her life a living hell before she joins her father in hell.” I added and he chuckled.“I want us to go somewhere, come with me.” He muttered and I nodded.“Pathetic maid.” I spat at Sarah as I jumped out of the bed slowly.Andrew was already outside and I beckoned onto Sarah to start a fight, she was reluctant but I urged her on.I was already heading to the door when she grabbed my hair and pulled me back roughly. “Argh!” I yelled as I feigned weakness.“Let go! Let go of me! Argh!” I cried out with tears streaming down my cheeks. I let her get on top of me and she began trying to hit my face while I blocked.“Andrew!” I screamed and the
