All Chapters of The Alpha's prey: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

SCARLETT'S P.O.V."Get the hell out, Scarlett, and don't you fucking come back." My boss, well, ex-boss, Roberto, growled at me as he shoved me out the door into the pouring rain. I felt my bag land next to my feet, but I made no move to pick it up; instead, I crouched down to the ground and wept. I was tired; I felt drained of strength. I wanted to give up, but I knew I couldn't. My mama didn't raise me to be weak. I had only gotten this job a few months back, and now I had lost it. As hard as I tried, Roberto had never seemed to like me and always found fault in whatever I had done. In his words, he had only hired me because he was short-staffed but wouldn't hesitate to kick me out the moment he was done with my bullshit. However, I knew that the source of his hatred for me stemmed from his relationship with Britteny.Britteny was gorgeous, a dark-haired beauty with clear skin and a slender figure. Whereas I was a redhead with a freckled face and a very curvy figure, I often thought

SCARLETT'S P.O.V.Humming quietly to myself, I wipe down the surfaces, enjoying the serenity of the manor, which I had gradually grown accustomed to over the past few weeks. I had encountered the charming Rosa, a cheery, petite female with auburn hair, who had become one of the few companions I had.

A couple of weeks ago, I wouldn't have minded if he graced me with death, but after having come across such sweet souls like Rosa and Savannah, I very much liked living.Speaking of, I could hear Rosa call out to me."Letty, there you are." She chirped with a bright smile, sliding onto one of the kitchen high stools."

SCARLETT'S P.O.VI hummed softly to the lyrics of 'Always Been You by Chris Grey' which blasted from my earpods, blocking out external sounds. Not like there were any noises, in fact it was so peaceful it felt like I was the only one in the manor. Also things had progressed normally in the manor, I couldn't help but find myself thinking back to Savannah's words; it played like a broken record in my head. 'Be grateful for the bliss of ignorance, because it may very well be the one thing that keeps you safe and alive'. I knew it was a warning, but it sounded so much more than that, felt so much more than that. Savannah knew thing, that much I knew. But what exactly did she know? How much did she know? And most importantly, how dangerous was it? A large part of me felt whatever reason she had issued her warning had a connection to the mystery locked in the east wing. That damned east wing, after Savannah's warning I had decided to steer clear of it even though a tiny part of me remained
