LOGINBranka’s POV My eyes opened slowly. It took a while for me to process what was going on around me and by the time I did, my eyes widened in fear. This place was not strange to me but I did not come here of my own accord. So….Then there was a sudden rush of memory that came to me about what happened. I focused on what was going on around me, trying to ignore my beating heart. My alpha was being strangled against the wall and he looked like he would die if he was not released soon. I should shout or try to get help for him. That was supposed to be a default reaction of any pack member if their leader was in danger. But I do not feel anything. Not even a nudge. I stared at the scene like I was watching a movie. By the time the man who held him let him go and said something I could not get, he left the room, but before sending me a glare that sent shivers down my spine. The man turned and his eyes met mine and moved back unconsciously. His gaze held mine and I could not even fathom
Kayden's POV The next few minutes happened in what seemed to be like a rush. One minute she passed out in my arms, the next, I was inside her Alpha's office. I laid her on the couch. I could sense and read from his thoughts that he did not like that one bit. But he would not dare to say anything. “Alpha King… there must have been a mistake somewhere. Branka is not the kind of person you will want for your mate. I promise you that.” He said. His tone and innuendo about her, I did not like it one bit. My gaze strayed over to the little girl whose name I’ve not heard before in my life. She looked so small and malnourished too. Earlier while I was on the rooftop, I needed some air. My coming to this particular pack was to confirm some of the allegations alive being heard about the alpha not being capable and that he might be involved in some of the illegal things that have been happening around. Not like I would catch him directly, but I wanted to be here and see the way he ran things
Branka's POV It felt as though the world was pulled out from underneath my feet. I was mesmerized. Even though I know that I had no powers or anything like that, from the distance I was seeing from right now, I can see the person he is. He was the man from earlier. The man that took my breath away even though I am not meant to feel that way for him. The man that gave me his coat even when I did not ask him for it. The man that made my heart skip for the first time in my entire life. The man that made me lose my hard earned control after all these years of bottling my feelings up in my mind. The man I spoke out of turn with and I'm sure right now that he'll have my head. Well, maybe not literally, he'd have reported me to Alpha Dorian since he was obviously an alpha. He would have told me how much I disrespected him outside the other time. Oh God. Maybe that was what all the attention was about. Maybe this was my funeral after all. But then, I don't want to be murdered in front o
Branka's POV I hurried my steps. When it got to a point, I started to run, when it felt as though my feet were too slow. I could make my way around the place even in the darkness. It was as though because this is not my first time going through this. But this time around it was for my freedom. I can't imagine what would happen to me if I was caught right now. Forget being raped, I'll be killed this time around for real and even Dorian's father would not be able to do anything about it. Suddenly, it was as though I heard footsteps behind me. My heart started to pound fast and my eyes widened. Tears started to fall from my eyes and I continued. I was already in the woods now. My leg got stuck in a twig and I fell on my face. A feeling of deja Vu rushd over me. My breathing started coming in shorts pants and it felt as though I was hearing the voices and cackling if the people that used to bully me then. But then there was silence. I saw a big tree not far away from me, so I crawl
Branka's POV My heartbeat has been irregular since I came back inside the kitchen unnoticed which I was thankful for. I didn't want to call any more attention to myself than I already did tonight. There was literally nothing much to do anymore. The foods had been served and servers already took them to the banquet hall. The kitchen was almost empty and there was no Jessica in sight which I was thankful for. I don't think I have it in me to deal with that lady right now. I was packing up the dishes that were dirty when I suddenly felt hands grab me from behind. I screamed but my mouth was covered so the stream was muffled. “Arghrr….” I fought hard. But nothing beats strength. “Don't fight it, Branks. I know you want this too. Don't you?” I shook my head frantically against his chest. It was Damon. I could never forget his scratchy voice and he was the only one that called me Branks. “Don't say that. I've seen the way you look at me. Like you want me or something. So, I'll do the
Branka's POV I blinked hard. Did I hear wrong? Or did he just say what I think he said? “Erm …l…like I said earlier, I don't know what you're talking about.” I pat myself at the back inmy head for not stuttering. Which is something I'm quite shocked about. “Answer me again. And this time,think twice before lying to me.” He replied in his very deep voice. That was when I knew that there was tears pooling in my eyes and they dropped. I quickly whipped them with the back of my hands. I didn't know why I don't know why I didn't want him to perceive me as weak. “I was not trying to commit suicide, I only wanted fresh air.” I said slowly, looking at everywhere but his face. Even though I could not see his face, because of the dark. “Look at me.” He said. No, commanded. There was nothing in his voice that hinted if he gave me a choice to answer. I knew I had to. Wit everything in me, I looked up at him. A thick shiver racked my frame and I suddenly felt self conscious about whatever
