Isla's POVMy eyes widened as I watched Kevin pose in a fighting stance before me, fist raised to his face, the other fist to his chest. "You really want me to hit you?" I asked carefully like I hadn't heard him clearly the first time he told me to.. "Yeah. Right across the jaw. Or my arm.. anywhere you want to... ""Um. Okay.." I awkwardly got into a fighting stance, my posture anything but serious as I was looking quite nervous. I knew he wouldn't hurt me. I was actually worried about hurting him. I might hurt him, or better worse, poke my finger in his eyes. Well, that was all i could think of as I advance closer to him. It's not like i could actually cause him to fly across the training grounds like I have got any strength left in me. All my life, I had never trained. I was only made to work as a maid while being abused. Not once have i never trained and that suddenly got me wanting to know whether my father ever thought I’d be Alpha. After all, i didn't have sibling, so
Isla POV"Are we going to continue training or are you just going to stand there while staring at someone in particular" i asked with a smirk, but had to concealed it quickly by pursing my lips when he turned to face me, shaking his head like he was ridding himself of whatever thoughts he had in his mind. "Come on. I'll get you a blind fold and we can continue." He gruffly said before walking away and leaving me to stare after him looking confused. What do i need a blindfold for again? I was so lost in thought that I didn’t realize Avery was now standing beside me, and when she tapped me over the shoulder rather tentatively to get my attention, I almost jumped out of her skin, a shrill scream leaving my lips. "Hey... " Avery stifled a chuckle, her hand flying to my mouth. "It's just me "I bite down at my lower lip in embarrassment as soon as she retrieved her hands, letting me know there was nothing to be afraid of."I thought you weren't going to come to the training fields toda
"You ready Isla or do I have to remind you that we're still in the middle of training.." Kevin asked, and I clenched my hands into fist, ridding my mind off of every distracting thoughts."I'm ready..." I said, hands right In front of her me i steadied the sole of my feet back into the ground, ready to move as quickly as i could possibly move across the floor. "Be careful... Go easy on her." I heard Alex whispered as Kevin drew the string on the bow to shoot. Kevin shot the first arrow and it came straight to my right shoulder. "Ow!" I winced and grabbed my shoulder, but he didn't let me recover for a second before he fired another arrow to my left thigh."Hey!" I said whimpering like a child, and rather than hold my throbbing thigh, I took a step back, holding my fists to my face as if stopping the arrow to come straight to my face or forehead. "You should be more focused on dodging the arrows than shielding your face, Isla.. if these were real arrows, one would have gone through
Isla's POVIt was around evening when I awoke from my slumber. When Alex had brought me home from the training ground, he had lured me to get some sleep after showering.I quickly got up on my feet, tossing the blankets aside. Alex who was still sleeping by my side, quickly sat up when he realized i was leaving. "Isla?" I stopped, freezing in my steps to stare ahead. The scent of my mate infiltrated my nostrils and as i turned to face him, Alex was already standing right In front of me. "What's a dragon Lord?" I asked suddenly.Alex raised a brow before sighing. "Where were you heading off to? It's almost midnight… are you hungry?" I noticed how he completely avoided my question. I was about to protest when my stomach starts rumbling. “is that a yes?”I couldn't help but laugh with my hand over my mouth when his stomach rumbled as well, and Alex smiled, seeing me laugh. "We didn't even have lunch today, remember?" He said, and his expression suddenly darkened. "we would have, if
Isla POV“Isla..Isla!, Where is that damn girl?”With fright dripping down my spine, I stepped into our living room, my eyes darting around in search of the voice that had called me not long ago. I swallowed nervously the moment my eyes found who i was looking for and quickly moved to stand before him.“You called me, father!”His hand moved faster than i ever saw coming, only realizing the action after my cheek was struck by the palm of his hand and I was sent stumbling a few step backward.“How dare you make me wait for you to get here!” he barked, anger clung to every word he spat out of his mouth and back at me."I’m sorry father but I was just finishing off in the kitchen!" I managed to let out, unshed tears beaming in my sapphire blue eyes as I tried to keep my faze focused on the floor rather than him. If I didn’t, he might find it disrespectful and hit me again or even worst, locked up in the dark cell in our basement.Standing right before me was a man who was supposed to be
Before i could ask more question and figure out what was going on, he reached out and grabbed me by the hair before I was yanked up on my feet , the sound of chains clanking snapping me from my momentarily pain and confusion as i looked down and realized i was currently bounded by chain.He continued to pull me along and outside the room where several other girls my age was held by chains as well, each on the left ankle and connected by a long thick chain which made them move in a straight line. They all wore stain clothing and they looked as though they hasn’t had a bath in days nor combed through their hair. There were three other men, all armed with weapons and standing guard around them. Some holding whips in each hand. From the look on their faces, I could tell they were not from our packs and even more that I wasn’t in my home anymore.Last thing I remember was passing out cold in our living room and now I’m out here with no single memory of how I got here."Come on... let's
There was momentarily silence before the man quickly backed away from me, fright mixed with shock was evident in his eyes after hearing the Alpha's words, his head completely lowered as he silently conveyed his most sincere apologies. “My apologizes, Alpha”"Release her... " He ordered, and another man was quick to undo the binding holding me hostage.All these while, I was trembling and Whether it was from fright or from sheer excitement and nervousness, i didn't know, but i definitely knew that something warm and unnatural was surging through my veins just having the alpha this close and that smell, it was all him."Come." He reached out a hand to me. I hesitated for a moment before I took an unsure step forward. Alpha Alex took me by the hand, his eyes taking note of how my skin was covered in fresh bruises but nonetheless, bringing it up to his lips to kiss it, inhaling my scent as well? Wait, did he just sniff me?My hand felt really small compared to his large ones but it fit
I clenched my eyes shut, waiting for my cheek to be struck by the palm of her hand but it never came.After a while, I opened my eyes only to find Alex standing in-between us, his hand holding the woman wrist mid strike, an annoyed look on his face as he glared coldly at her.My heart couldn’t help but swelled up on seeing Alex standing up for me but my relief was caught short seeing the murderous gaze in the woman's grey colored eyes as she glared at me as though I was nothing before her."What is this I hear Alexander? That you've declared a common slave as your mate?" She said with a sneer, and I felt my chest tighten a fraction."And the first thing you try to do is hit her?" Alex asked, irritation etched in his voice.The woman I have now recognized to be his chosen Lizzy took a step back, her gaze falling in total disbelief."Oh? Was I supposed to bow down to her?. Oh come on Alex. This lowly slave here can't possibly be your mate. I mean, just look at her”I was forced to gla
