All Chapters of Betrayed By The Enemy Alpha : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lyra’s POVI trudged down the hallway, exhausted to my marrow and yet, the afternoon had only arrived. For some reason, Randall didn't think that the double chores I was assigned were good enough for me, so he decided to triple them, even when it was clear that no other maid could have survived such hardship. Every morning, I was expected to clean the entire passageway, the kitchen and most of the rooms apart from Randall's room and that of Susan. It almost seemed like the other maids had nothing to do but they did. It just wasn't a lot. Later in the afternoon, after completing the first set of tasks, I was tasked with cleaning all the toilets and bathrooms before heading to the laundry to wash the clothes of all the guards in the pack.And then, in the evening, I had to clean their muddy boots without any help. A shy maid who tried to help the previous day was made to regret it by Mrs Hatcher. Now, the poor girl won't even look my way. I sighed as exhaustion ripped through my bod

Lyra’s POVThe walls did have ears. It was very early in the morning when a maid came into my room to summon me. “Ma'am Susan has asked to see you,” she informed me, drawing a low grunt from me as I slowly sat up, sad to see my sweet sleep cut off even though it would have still been cut off a few minutes later anyway. When I readied myself and left the room to meet with her across the hallway, the last thing I expected was for her to have details of my meetings with Fiona. But just as they always say, the walls did have many ears and I was pretty sure it borrowed some of the maids’ ears too. “I don't know what you're talking about,” I swiftly denied her claims. Before she could say another word, I picked up the stand of fresh linens which I had picked up on my way to see her and tried to move past her, but she blocked me off, her hands now firmly on her waist as she glared down at me. “You dare try to walk out on me?” She frowned, the cup of wine in her right hand nearly fallin

Lyra’s POV‘Maybe I shouldn't have hit her.’Tiny rays of light seeped into the cell from the lone window to signal that the morning had arrived. It was a very tiny window covered with a net. My stomach rumbled as I paced around my cell. Bowls of regret, the only meal that I'd been fed since I was bundled into the cell. Perhaps, I should have ignored her as she said those words, especially after seeing that Randall didn't believe her.I should have clenched my teeth, bit down on my lower lip or done anything else but hit her. But my emotions… they got the best of me. As soon as she mentioned my father's name, I had already smacked her hard on her face in my mind. I only allowed her to finish her speech before gracing her face with my eager palm. I inhaled deeply, now leaning on the wall, trying to convince myself that it wasn't all my fault. If she hadn't spoken so badly about my father, I would never have laid hands on her. ‘No one dares to sully my father's name and go scot-fre

Randall’s POV“We have rounded up a few Rogues, Alpha. They're currently in the dungeon awaiting their fates. What do we do to them?” Juan asked in a meeting with the Council of Elders in the throne room. “Slay them all. We must send a very strong message to anyone who dares to step foot into our territory to threaten our people,” I declared. “Have we gotten any information about Alpha Max?”The Elders shook their heads. “No one seems to know where he is,” Baros said. “He's not in his pack either but we can't tell whom he has gone to meet. But we've sent our scouts to find him. They should be back in a fortnight.”I nodded and turned to my side to see if Susan had returned but she still wasn't there. She had stepped out a few minutes after the meeting commenced, and after nearly half an hour, she had yet to return. But it wasn't the only strange thing happening. I felt a sharp, tearing pain in my chest which refused to go away no matter how hard I tried. My wolf was restless, growl

Randall's POV“What the hell is going on with you?” I fumed, pulling Susan out of the room and slowly shutting the door. “What do you mean by that?” She retorted. “Wasn't she trying to seduce you? You thought I wouldn't?”“Come on.” She threw her hands up into the air. “I saw the way she looked at you, Rand. She looked like she was just about to eat you up and I can't say you looked like you were trying to resist her. More like you were more than ready to get to action…”“Susan!”“What?” She rolled her eyes. “I'm only stating the obvious.”“Alpha…” I quickly turned to my left and saw a guard approaching me. “The Elders have gathered at the throne room. They're waiting for you.”“There's a meeting?” I said, not loud enough for the guard to hear. “It's the reason why I came to see you. Who knew you'd be all lovey-dovey with the prisoner?”“That's it. You're going with me to the meeting!”I dragged her by the hand until we got to the door. Then I leaned in and whispered, “I'd advise yo
