Lisa's POV It was just past midnight and I had already lost count of how many times I had vomited. Each time I thought about what I was about to face, I couldn't help but keep the bile down my throat. I thought of saying I was sick and using it as an excuse not to go to the Beta induction. But then, I knew Klaus would have none of it. I had already accepted his invitation, and there was no turning back on my word. Kayden had told me that he needed to talk to his father about a few things that he wouldn't tell me. I was still very much an outsider.What about Lisa? I hear Kayden's voice from outside of my door. I groaned before I emptied the contents of my belle once again. Wiping my mouth with the back of my hand, I stand up from the floor at the base of the toilet and rinse my hands in the sink. I stepped out of the bathroom and changed my clothes as fast as I could.What about Lisa? He calls out again. How did he

Lisa's POV   The next morning, instead of heading over to the dining room for breakfast, I head over to the patio where the Alphas of Moonstone, Nightwalker, Dark Moon, and Shadow packs, alongside Kayden, Klaus, and Jonas, are having breakfast. There were a few women around as well. I initially wanted to skip breakfast, but Jonas had forced me to join them. He had explained that the women were sisters to the Alphas of the Order. Seeing as it wasn't the dining room, there was no official arrangement for the seating order. Everyone sat how they wanted, and so Jonas saved me a spot next to where he sat. I mumbled a few greetings as I made my way over to my seat, a soft breeze blowing through my hair. Autumn will be here soon. I was hoping the changing leaves would add to the glamour of the estate. I dig into my breakfast, taking sneaky glances at others. Genevieve was seated next to Klaus at one end of the table, listening to something one

Lisa's POV That's a weird way to put it. I don't ever recall agreeing to dance with you. "Well, that's one of the perks of being a Beta; you don't need permission to want something."There are numerous girls here who would be willing to dance with you. Can't you manage to convince one of them instead of asking me?"He tilts his head to the side. "You're right about them wanting me but I've never danced with you before. And, if I remember correctly, you were discussing how good you were with my cousin."  He grips my hand and squeezes it hard enough, I know he planned to hurt me and make me afraid but I wasn't going to have any of that."Let go of me."He smirks, pulling me closer to himself. For that matter, "I do not believe you have the right to tell me what to do or give me orders."Do you find it exciting to be rude to women? Do it fuel your ego to see fear?"His hand tightens over my wri

Lisa's POV Eight hours later, I was seated next to Tiffany during dinner, but we weren't seated at the main table but one of the many others in the large dining room. The members of the old order take the seats of their sons as they didn't make it home in time for dinner. It felt weird and uncomfortable without the familiar faces I was used to. I felt like an outsider sitting at the same table as them. Jonas' mother ignores me at the table, and I'm grateful for that. Tiffany, on the other hand, seemed happy that I was seated next to her. Her smile seemed to say thank you. I don't think she would have managed alone amongst the first-class citizens of the country.Tiffany seemed like a good person, always happy and cheerful. She reminded me of my sister, who shared the same name as her. She would make a good friend. And by "good friend," I mean someone who wasn't using me to achieve a specific goal and wouldn't let me in on the plan that co

Lisa's POV The surprise on his face lingered for a few seconds before his composure returned. He leaned back and took his hand away from my chin. “Who told you about that?"I refrain from saying anything. I didn't think it was a good idea to tell him about Tiffany. I would be a bad friend."I think I know who told you." He sighed. "Tiffany told me she spent a lot of time with you yesterday. She was the one who told you, wasn't it?"My neck suddenly grows warm. Tiffany told her boyfriend when we were together that she was hanging out with me. There was also the possibility that she told him last night when I hadn't come out of the maze and she got worried. I would prefer to go with that assumption rather than thinking Kayden was her boyfriend. I was starting to feel a little bit jealous. I mentally slapped myself and returned to the matter we were dealing with presently. Jonas may have very well killed Phoebe judging fr
