Semua Bab The Alpha Heiress: Lycan's True Mate: Bab 151 - Bab 160

CLARISSAFreedom tastes so damn good.I run my tongue over my cracked lips and taste both the ash from Fiona's magic that still clings to my skin and the blood from where I bit through my lip during the escape. The injury is healing right now, but the slight sting is still there.Finally, after weeks of rotting inside that cold filthy cell and bound in iron chains, I am free.I am finally free!My newfound freedom makes me want to laugh, but I can’t.How can I be happy when Louise is still back there? How can I be completely happy when I haven't finished the revenge I started?No.The time to laugh is not now.This is the time to prepare.The safehouse where I am is small and crude. It only has a single room with a dirty floor and a roof that leaks when it rains. Right now, rain is falling outside and water is currently dripping through the roof, but not much. Also, the wooden walls don't quite meet at the corners, but I will manage. There is a bed in one corner, a table with two chai

DAISYMy body is screaming at me to stop fighting, but I ignore the burning feeling, forcing myself to duck under Maxton’s swing before I pivot left and drive my elbow towards his ribs.Quickly, he blocks my strike and steps back with an approving nod.“Better,” he says. “But you pushed in too hard. Keep your shoulders still until the last second.”I nod, breathing hard, sweat dripping down my back despite the cold morning air. Maxton is one of the best combat instructors of the Lycan Royal Family and he was assigned to me after I made a request to have my fighting skills enhanced. We started our training yesterday and today, we are still pushing hard and we have been at this for about an hour now.My muscles are burning.My stomach is threatening to purge.And I can feel Liam’s eyes on me from where he is sitting on the stone bench about twenty feet away, watching every move I make like he is afraid I will burnout myself and collapse at any second.But I am strong. I am not going to

LOUISEI feel like I am about to go crazy in this fucking cell.The darkness around me is not even helping matters and it smells so bad in here. All my life, I have lived in luxury and wealth, thanks to my stepfather.But now, I feel like I am on the brink of death. I constantly feel like I am going to die any moment soon.A tear slides down my cheek and I bite down on my lower lip to prevent myself from crying. My knees are pulled up to my chest, and my back is resting on the wall, the cold biting into my skin.Fuck.To make my situation even shittier, my eyes are staring at nothing because all I can see is this pitch darkness around me. There is no light down here except the weak lights of the fluorescent bulbs in the corridor outside.But then, even the lights from those flimsy bulbs are not reaching here in my cell and it is so pathetic that in my condition, I can’t even get just one fucking ray of light.Three days.Three fucking days since my mum escaped and left me here in this

DAISYFinally.Being back home in the Brimstone Pack after going away for just a few days now feels weird, but I had to return. My guard sent word from the dungeons yesterday. The same guard I planted in Louise’s cell, disguised as a regular dungeon guard.The thought about doing that came to me when I was studying the journal I already have and discovered that some sort of information was missing. I told Liam about it, and he helped me secure the guard and arrange the meeting.Now, I am so happy that the extraction plan worked.The guard told me everything that Louise revealed to him about my mother’s second journal. From what he explained, it seems the information in that journal is powerful and likely more dangerous than anything in the journal I already have.Meanwhile, I didn’t tell anyone in the Brimstone Pack that I was coming here today. I didn’t tell my father because I know he would have insisted on sending guards with me. The only person that knows I am here today is Liam,

DAISYThe question burns in my mind, and it is still burning right after I leave the infirmary and on my way back to the palace.On the road, I can't stop thinking about everything I read until I finally arrive at my destination.After parking, I quickly hurry inside and head straight to Liam's room.I hope he is there.Getting to his room with the journal safely inside my bag, I knock on the door.“Come in,” I hear his voice from inside the room.Quickly, I open the door and enter, feeling relieved that he is available. I need him right now because my head feels like it is about to explode.“Hey, are you alright?” He asks quickly, standing up from where he is seated on the bed.His eyes rake all over me.“Fuck, were you crying?” He quickly rushes towards me. “What happened?”“I-I found it Liam. I found the journal,” My voice cracks as I pull out the journal from my bag and show it to him.He accepts it, but his eyes are still locked on me, disregarding the journal for now.“Come here
