The Alpha’s reckoning 13: ESCAPE
LISA’S POV I woke up feeling like a broken staircase, each movement a struggle against the weight that pressed down on me. My eyelids were glued shut, and I could feel sweat trickling down my forehead. “Why isn't she awake?” a voice asked with urgency, It sounded distant. I strained against the heaviness, trying to piece together what had happened. The memory of a sharp pain in my neck, a needle piercing my skin before darkness consumed me. “How the heck am I supposed to know that—” a male voice snapped, his frustration evident in every word. “You messed up, man. If he comes back and she isn’t awake, it's probably over for us,” another voice, deep and ominous, added to the mounting tension in the room. “We didn't have any other choice,” Kyle grunted then the sound of footsteps and then the door id being swung open and closed. “She just needs some rest, she will sweat it out and wake up soon,” a softer voice, presumably belonging to a girl, offered. “We should give her som
The Alpha’s reckoning 14: FAILED ESCAPE
LISA’S POV Those silver-grey orbs, which I could never forget even if I tried, were piercing daggers into my soul. How could I ever forget them when I have three kids with the same eyes as him?He is dressed in a pair of sweats and a long-sleeved t-shirt, the sleeves rolled up to the elbow. The same way he used to dress when we’d train together. But he looks broader now, though those luscious lips and dark shiny hair remained the same. Wait, what am I saying? Snap out of it, Lisa. You can’t think that way about the same man who used you and dumped you like trash.“What are you trying to do?” He asked again, pulling me out of my trance.“What does it look like I’m doing?” I retort, tightening my hand on the iron bar beside the window.“Get away from the window,” he ordered, walking closer.“If you take another step, I promise you I’m going to jump,” I hissed, but he simply ignored me and took another step.I let go of the bar, jumping out. I had already made up my mind before he came
The Alpha’s reckoning 15: A MISTAKE
RONAN’S POV “You shouldn’t have drugged her, man,” my ears picked up Jack's words as he whispered to Kyle. “What did you expect me to do? She would’ve killed you if I didn’t. You’re welcome,” Kyle hissed, and I took slow strides to where they were arguing in hushed tones. “But still, you could’ve used something else, you know. That drug wasn’t just any sleeping drug, you know.” “I know. The alpha said we should be as fast as possible, and holding her off meant wasting more time.” “But she's a weak wolf, remember. Anything could happen-” “What did you drug her with?”I broke between their dialogue. Madeline gave them a sleeping drug to use if Lisa resisted, but from the little I just overheard, what they gave her wasn't the sleeping drug. Probably something quite stronger. “What did you inject her with?” I growled when they both fell silent. The last thing I wanted was the only person who could help me with my dad ending up dying or falling sick due to my lack of judgment.
The Alpha’s reckoning 16: FLEEING
LISA’S POVUnlike last time, I feel like a racehorse full of strength; there aren't any headaches or weak joints.I wasn’t in the room I was last time; I don't recognize this room at all, but something tells me I'm still at the pack house, or somewhere in the pack.Sitting up, I take in the room, trying to figure out where I am. Like most of the rooms in the pack house, it has white walls with red and black furniture.“You’re awake,” a blonde girl asked as she came through the door. Her white coat tells me she is one of the pack's doctors.“How are you feeling?” She flashes me a warm smile, but I don’t say anything, just watch her as she drops the tray she came in with on the nightstand.“Where am I?” It was the only thing that came out of my mouth, and it is the most logical thing to ask. I need to get out of here, and to do that, I need to know where I am.I don’t know how long I have been asleep or what time it is. I need to get home; I need to be sure my kids are safe. I hope they
The Alpha’s reckoning 17: CONDITIONS
LISA’S POV “What do you want?” I hissed. when Jack tossed me into the room and closed the door behind him. I thought Kyle wanted to stab me or something but it turned out Ronan asked them to check if I was awake and to direct me to Ronan’s office “A hello would have been nice. It's been ages since we last met. It's a shame; I thought we’d get to catch up on things first,” he smirked, leaning into his seat behind the large mahogany desk. I had to hold back the laugh that was bubbling in my chest. “We have nothing to catch up on. Plus, I'd rather go deaf than spare you a minute of my time to catch up. Are you joking, or do you have amnesia? Have you forgotten how you betrayed me?” “Ouch,” he said, placing his hand on his chest, feigning hurt. “Each second I spend here is a waste of my time. I need you to tell me what the heck you want from me or let me be on my way. Unlike you, I have a life to get back to.” My words must’ve stung because I saw a slight change in his demeanour,
The Alpha’s reckoning 18: WHERE ARE YOUR KIDS
LISA'S POV.“You still haven’t given me an answer. What is it going to be?”“Well,” he ran his thumb on his lips. “Okay, but add one little thing to that agreement. The healer said you could help, so unless she says you won't be of help, then you can leave and await the return of your journal.” I wanted to say no because I know I won't be of any help. I’m a doctor, a human doctor to be precise.“I know I’m not going to be of any help, but if you say so, then,” I shrugged.“Well, the healer is waiting,” he stood up. “Shall we?”I stood to my feet and followed behind him without any complaints, with hopes to get this over with so I can be on my way. I don’t know what or what it is now. I miss my babies so much. I’ve never been away from them this long. And I don’t know how long I’ve missed work for.We walked for at least ten minutes until we came to a stop, and he turned to me. “The healer is in there,” I simply nodded.He opened the door, motioning me to enter first, which I did. Ther
The Alpha’s reckoning 19: YOUR LUCKY DAY
RONAN’S POV"You can read it before you sign it," Lisa pursed her lips."You wrote it, so I don’t think there's a need to read it. I trust you," I flashed her a smile, then flipped through the ten-page agreement she wrote. How she had time to write this bulky stuff in two days is a mystery to me.Lisa left the night I took her to visit Marien to get the journal and and settle things with her boss for the days she missed work, but lucky for her Jack wrote a nice message to one of her bosses that we do business with so wont get in trouble.I've tried a few times to convince her to come back to the pack, but she wouldn’t budge. And when I tried a few more times, she just ignored me. so I took that as my cue to take it down a notch.There's something about Elisa that keeps drawing me in. I kept finding myself looking at her body, and memories of that night we spent together seven years ago keeps playing in my head like a broken tape without an ending. with her scent around the only thing
The Alpha’s reckoning 20: I INSIST
LISA’S POV"The weather's nice today," Ronan commented. It was his third attempt to start a conversation, which I ignored. The last thing I wanted was to chat with him. Riding in the same car as him was bad enough.Part of me wanted to indulge, have a good conversation, and reminisce about the past like nothing happened. But I'm scared that a single conversation might make me forgive him, and I can't do that. Not now, not ever, maybe ever is a strong word I might forgive him but not yet.I might be able to forgive and forget everything else, but the betrayal of someone you thought was your friend—that's unforgettable. Even if you forgive them, those memories will always find a way to haunt you."You remember when we used to go for picnics on afternoons like this?" he persisted."I'll take a little nap, wake me when we get to town" I announced, pushing the button on the seat so it reclined. I turned to my side and closed my eyes. He knew I wasn't really sleeping, even if I were sleepy.
