XVII: Turning the World Upside Down Just to Find You

Alyssa's POV

I didn't show up. It was the day I was supposed to dance, but like I told Honey, I wouldn't dance this week. It was hard and something in me felt empty, but knowing those three idiots would be there forced me to skip.

Instead of dancing, I chose that afternoon to make some time for myself. It finally dawned on me that outside of work, I was free of Alice the robot, my father and Knox. I can go anywhere I like without someone breathing over my neck.

And that's what I did.

I went to a spa to have my nails done, I got a whole body massage, got my hair trimmed, ate my favorite food and desserts. I strolled around the mall on my own, window shopping and actually buying things I needed. When my feet began to hurt, I watched a horror movie and ate dinner.

At times like this, I feel like I'm actually alive and free. Although it was only wishful thinking.

"Should I go to the beach tomorrow?" I muttered to myself with a smil

    XXIII: You Won't Break MeAlyssa's POV Knox's pranks went overboard this time. His pranks and torture–although dangerous– became even worse. He was silent for a week and he treated me like I didn't exist contrary to what he promised, but still, I didn't let my guard down. Wednesday came, but instead of going straight from work to Paradise, a bodyguard was waiting for me. A ady bodyguard that Knox promised he would assign to me and damn it, I can't really go anywhere without her. She was worse than freaking Alice!In the office, at home, even in the restroom! I can't go anywhere without her following me like a shadow and when I decided to put some restrictions, the robot 2.0 only told me she will only obey her master like a good little dog she was. I can't even sneak out because she can smell me from afar!I was no longer required to cook for him because he blatantly said that he disliked my cooking skills, but I continue to do my own chores. From cooking my own food, doing my laund

    XXII: Beyond FuriousKnox's POVAs if she had been burned, she quickly stood on her feet and tried to cover up her face but I snatched it away. My whole body was shaking in anger. "Why is it you?!" I screamed, my blood boiling, I was beyond furious. I thought of all the times I dreamed about her, fantasizing the moment I will finally meet her and make her become mine. I imagined what she looked like under the mask. I longed to claim her as mine. But damn it to hell, she was around me all this time?! "I... I..." She stuttered and tried to get away but I gripped her wrist and she whimpered in pain. "Did you plan this? Did you do this so I would drool over you? To have been obsessed with you?""It hurts!" She whimpered and tried to pull her hand away. A second later, Lance appeared to grip my wrist that was holding her. "She's hurting, brother. Let her go," he demanded, looking around us. "People are looking at us. Save the argument for later.""Let me go." I growled in warning, ang

    XXI: Fallen MaskKnox's POVI paced back and forth outside Paradise, waiting for the bastard of a king to leave. I contemplated whether I should end his reign right here and now, just so he wouldn't have the chance to be alone with Nikita like this ever again. My mind went into the gutter, thinking of possible things they could be doing right now. Nikita is a small girl, and she can easily be overpowered by someone as big as Seymour, but something tells me he was not that kind of person anyway. Still, my mind couldn't help but imagine the worst case scenario. My brother promised he didn't touch a hair on her body and I believed him, but this vampire king, will he be able to hold back his desire?"Fūck!" I kicked the trash can in frustration and looked at the entrance again. "It's been an hour. What's taking them so long?" I groaned in frustration and lit another stick. "Why are you so anxious, brother? Even if you don't trust Seymour, do you think someone like Nikita–who refuses to

    XX: Your Turn, VampireAlyssa's POVI chose Seymour next because I had a plan, but my choice angered Knox. It was amusing and entertaining to see him throw a fit like a child. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or feel annoyed at his reaction. A typical man who hates not being chosen. I was doing my daily routine in the indoor gym he had when he slammed the door open. He knew I was there but didn't acknowledge me as he started his routine as well. I ignored his presence and focused on my stiff muscles. People think it's easy to just shake your hips, but no, they didn't know that it comes with a lot of pain and preparation. I often wake up with a sore body.When I'm done, I sit on the bench and drink from my tumbler, discreetly observing the furious man running on the treadmill. You could tell he was angry because he was running at full speed. At this point, is it not better to just shift?"It's amusing to see you lose your shit over a woman, Volkov." I said out of the blue, stopping him

    XIX: You Won't Get MeAlyssa's POV"I told you we'd be fine. I'm worried about what they'd do to you, Aly." Honey said as soon as I arrived. I squeezed her hands and let go. "I can handle them just fine, boss. Did you forget that the Alpha himself implemented a strict rule about harassing women? He wouldn't break it himself, would he? Besides, they still don't know what I look like so it'll be easy for me to move somewhere if things get too complicated."I heard Honey sigh behind me as I started to prepare. "Still, taking a few days off wouldn't hurt us.""No," I shook my head. "I don't want to be the cause of delay for everyone. They have families to feed–you have a family to feed, Honey. And I already agreed on going on a date with three of them."Honey gasped and appeared in my line of vision with a shocked look on her face. "You did what?! I know I suggested it but... what are you planning to do?""What I can do to survive." I replied shortly and left her to finish preparing. Wh

  • Marrying the Alpha I Rejected   Chapter Eighteen

    XVIII: The Unfavored SonLance's POVThe unfavored child, the weaker, the one without a clear vision of the future, the failure–that's me. Maybe because I was only born as a beta, or maybe because I was the second child, but either way, I've always known that Dad favored Knox more. They see me as the rebellious child, the mischievous son that is inferior to his brother and while that is true, people failed to realize that–that exact same reason is the reason I am the way I am.When I was young, I did my best to get my father's favor even though Knox is the heir to his title. I did everything to get his attention, but no matter what I did, no matter how much I tried, Knox was and will always be the best son for him. For Dad, I am the destructor, the unworthy one of leading our business so he made sure Knox also inherits it. Fūck it. Fūck them. A manwhore? A fool? A useless man? I proved them all right. No one will see me differently no matter what I do anyway, so why not just throw i
