All Chapters of Sentenced to The Ruthless Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Thora POVThora returned from her light jog to find Penny sitting in her room, next to an ivory gown that was studded with gemstones. Her surprise was replaced with shock on seeing the suitcase by Penny’s feet.“You’re going to look fire in this wedding dress.” Penny chuckled with misty eyes.Thora edged closer. “What’s going on? Why the suitcase?”Penny sighed and stood up. “I messed up my lines. I can’t seem to get the language pronunciations for the vows but you are a natural, they said. I got cut.”Something tightened in Thora’s chest.“Don’t give me that look. It was always going to be YOU.” Penny hugged her tightly. “You deserve to win. You’re the strongest one I met in here.”The instructor appeared at the doorway to escort Penny out. Thora struggled to find the right words to say goodbye until Penny left. Angrily, she kicked the foot of her bed and winced as pain exploded up her thigh.“Call time is in one hour, Ms. Storm.” The instructor informed her. “Get to the dressing roo

Thora POVThe wild branches slashed her skin as she blazed through them. Her updo was now in tatters, flying in the air. Her skin was bleeding with tiny cuts she was yet to feel.Somewhere along her desperate attempt to live, Thora had ripped and discarded the long train of her wedding dress. The corset felt numb to her as she ran, trying to remember familiar terrains in the thicket of the forest.“Follow the sound of water.” She kept chanting in her noisy head, amidst the snarls of wolves behind her. She had spotted a river during one of her trainings. If she could find it, maybe she could jump in and hope the wolves don’t follow. If she made it out alive, only then would she process what she had just seen.Werewolves were a myth. That was what she’s been told all her life, what every human believed. When her parents were found mauled and dead in the woods where they had gone camping, the reports claimed it had been an animal attack, possibly a bear. But what if it wasn’t?Thora didn

Thora POVWhen her eyes flicked open, a nasty looking dreamcatcher dangled above her head, swaying lightly. The scream died in her throat, partly due to exhaustion, partly because her head banged.With great effort, she levered herself to a sitting position. When she tipped her neck, her vision swam. Voices rose and fell from a distance.Her eyes cut to the tall shelves where bottles of varying sizes sat, capping an array of herbs, spices, and colorful liquids. The air was filled with a collision of the aromatic fragrances. Yet, the odors weren’t altogether unpleasant. A little fire was going. When she finally looked down at her leg, the horrors of the night hit her again.The pain had been unbearable, and some time during the throes of it, she had been eager for a quick death. But as the bold morning sun intermittently broke the dimness of the room, Thora was grateful for another day.She heard heavy footsteps approach, gulped when the creaky door swung open.“You’re finally awake.” T

Thora POV“Calm down, Miss. I assure you. You’re safe,” The doctor reiterated while checking her vitals.But Thora was restless. She kept looking over her shoulder, kept eyeing everyone who came in through the door. The hunters had indeed rescued her and took her to the upper side of town in Crescent Falls, where she had led a normal life for the last twenty-five years.She was in a hospital, surrounded by humans, or at least she wanted to believe so. Her experience in the last few weeks had made that distinction difficult to make.She begged the doctor to let her go, in the same way she had begged the hunters to take her to the police. No one was listening to her.How could she blame them? All she had kept repeating since the forest was how she had been kidnapped by humans who could morph into wolves. Everyone in the car had looked at her like she was crazy.And now the doctor was talking to her softly like a child, like she was mentally unstable and needed constant reassurance that
