62.
Alpha Alan was here— to save me, his moonborn self-centered mate.
Lisa's POV
I shrunk at the noise of clattering metal. The iron lock was being unlocked. My heart pounded at the noise and tears oozed through the tightly clutched lids of my eyes.
I was not prepared for this. I couldn't be prepared for this ever.
I hugged my arms moving more and more into the corner when a loud noise erupted in my cell. The door plunged and rocked back and forth since it was forcefully undone.
Steps thud near me. The surface rumbled and I could feel the sensation coursing up my body. The sense of having another person in the same air as me tightened my throat with adrenaline.
'Please do not approach me. Please... Please... Please.'
I prayed to be abandoned, left untouched. I prayed for them to slit my
63. Feeling her pain Alpha Alan's POV I had wanted to go on my knees and cry when my first gaze fell on her. She was in the corner hiding her face away. The look of her perished frame turned my hands powerless. The smell of salt from her tears and her dread brushed at my skin. I stood immobile outside her chamber which was as small as a cage used for holding chickens. There was no room for ventilation except for a small opening in the wall over my head, from which the gust of winds rushed in. They were hard and strong, freezing the walls cold. The bars of the cellar transfused frosty coldness in my palms as I tried to open the lock. When it didn't budge after several attempts, I snapped it into two pieces. The door split off from a kick as I accessed it with hasty steps. I had not prepared to but as I neared her with a wooden torch in my hand, I doomed to the ground on my knees
64. A heartless savior, alpha Alan It was her eyes crying, but his heart that pained. It was her lips quivering in fear, but his mouth that dried. It was her fingers that clasped around his knees, but it was his palms that felt irritation and contraction. Alpha Alan shut his eyes, seething angrily. This was the last thing he had wanted to see. He then undid them vigorously as a heat of aggression spiked up his spine. He pushed Lisa away and fisted his fingers tightly, preparing to kill, as he put the fire torch off. As the steps neared, he undid his mouth and his canines appeared while his claws inclined too. Her mufflings of fear pumped his fury. Alan did not wait for the owner of those audible steps to near them more as he himself jumped out of the cell, letting out a small howl. He tried to suppress it but he could not stop from m
65. Time to deal with the tormentors Having placed her down on the cold floor of the church, Alan faced the oracles and their disciples. "She needs medication. Do we have a medic here?" They were dressed in brown gowns and a metal chain around their necks with a big heavy star pendant hanging before their chests. Their glad eyes gawked at him as one of the oldest ones came forward, nodding his head, "I will take care of the princess, Alpha." He gave a smile of assurance. "Okay. Take care of her, I have to go look for Sebestian." Alan replied with a nod of his head. He looked at them all quietly. They had a look of gratification and lots of hope entertaining their facades. They were happy. One can notice serene calmness in their postures while their moist eyes gleamed in happiness. The elder oracle who has come forward to answer Alan shook his head in recognition. He signalled fe
66. I had wanted to leave him alive for her brother— my fury didn't allow me to. Alpha Alan's POV "Right at his back, Elara." I slowly hushed near Elara's ear as she focused on targeting her arrow on Jeremy who walked away the long corridor leading to the Great assembly hall. I was gawking at Jeremy's back when she released the arrow, strucking it right at his back. He grasped steeling in his spot as he lowered his head at his chest. Before he could look at his chest I chased him and covered his mouth. Dragging him away from the open lit up corridor to a dark corner behind one of the poles in the passageway, I left him and he dropped to the cold ground. "Don't worry, Dixon! You are not dying. It'll just keep you paralyzed until your time really comes." As our eyes met, the memories from the woods rushed to my mind. He stared a
67. "It's not my defeat, Alpha Alan, but yours! I might be dying today, you're already dead considering that the mate who should have loved you, loved me. What could be worse than this" — Jeremy Dixon. **** Alan's POV When I returned, a cloud of tension had emerged over the heads of my beta and his seeming love interest. "Why do you look so pale?" I observed Elara's astounded glance and followed it inside the assembly hall through the flimsy curtain. My fist clenched as I watched that dreadful scene unfolding in the room. Jonah was standing with a fire torch and Sebestian was being soaked with Kerosene. He was on the floor with a twisted arm. He was struggling to pick himself up on his quivering arms but in vain. Jonah pushed him down on the ground with his feet on the face. "He broke himself and tried to kill Jonah." Adri
68 "I want to meet Alan. Please, take me to Brave Blood Pack. I am his mate, Sebestian. Please take me to him so I can confess I love him too." — Lisa. ~~~ "ALAN!" Lisa woke up with a pant! Eyes enlarged, mouth hanging open, hands at her side restlessly biting into the mattress, she gulped her saliva as she tried to blink her eyes. Blink the tears away actually. "Lisa? Oh my god, I am so glad to see you awake. My baby." She was trying to adjust with the environment and get a grip on herself when two strong arms held her in a protective warm hug. She inhaled a deep breath and her brother's scent alongside. It was him. Her saviour. Her brother. Her only family left. Lisa flicked her eyelashes aggressively for tears were blocking her sight. Sebestian helped wipe them away with his thumbs. His hands rested cupping her cheeks as at the same time
69 She was here... In his pack. In front of his eyes. *** Brave Blood Pack, "Look, you don't have to do this." Adrian grabbed Alan's hand, he stared at him with popped out eye balls as if he was going to commit a murder. Alpha Alan returned it with a small painful grin. Well honestly he never smiled fully ever since he returned from the woods all these days back. And their arrival in their pack after succeeding in their rescue mission from Blooming Peace Pack, his lips never stretched from ear to ear. "I can't go back in time and bring her son back, Addy, but I can apologize for her irreparable loss." Alpha Alan said, eyeing the small house in front of his eyes. It was the house of the widow woman he had met in the market that day. The mother of a passionate son who had wanted to become like his alpha but sadly died in his hands under an acciden
70. "I didn't save you and your pack because I cared for her. My care and affection toward her died long ago when she walked on me with that cousin of yours." — Alpha Alan. **** Lisa clutched her brother's hand to stabilize herself. Her knees started wobbling right after her eyes found Alpha Alan. She had been confident and recognized what she was supposed to do once they reached the Brave Blood Pack's castle. However now, she felt her hopes and courage melting into mush. Sweat covered her back like a sheet of moss on water. She found it difficult to breathe as she looked into those eyes. They were dark... Like the clouds of a stormy evening. They were ready to pour but they didn't as if they were trying to get even darker. "I will call him here." That sound of Adrian's voice sounded pleasing to her ears otherwise her heart beats were the only thing audible to herself. "
