Away from me
Liyah's POV
"Stay away from me!!"The sound of my own voice surprised me but I couldn't help it. Elyan regarded me with confusion written all over his face."Why are you-""Just... don't touch me! Okay? I know the way to the rooms. Just tell me where you want me to clean up."The rapid beating of my heart had already started to weaken me. I drew my shirt tighter to me. We were alone in the room. It was dangerous... anything could happen. I felt my chest start to ache as the memories I had been trying to get rid of began to flash through my head.Instead of the anger I had expected, Elyan backed away from me, muttering an apology and moving to the door. But I wanted him out. Away from me completely. If I was alone no one could hurt me. No one...Desperate to be able to breathe properly again, I limped past him and outside the door. I felt safer out in the open, but I couldn't see anyone around. If one of the could hurt me then all of them were capab

It wasn't... it couldn't be. I had been alert and focused. Why did she have to be there at the festival? Why did she have to get mixed into the crowd, and worse still behind the very woman I had planned on abducting. This was her fault. Not sure where I was going, I made my way to where she was.As I swung the door of her room open and walked in, my brows furrowed in confusion. She was nowhere to be found.

The Alpha's Dark Revenge Silence
Nikolai's POVI couldn't count the number of times I had splashed cold water over my face, but it didn't take away my red rimmed eyes or the weight on my chest. Frustrated with myself for not having control over my emotions at the moment, I grabbed a face towel and wiped my face with it. My nose was runny as well and I could feel that my eyes were swollen. I couldn't remember the last time I had felt this way.As I gulped down a cup of water, my mind floated back to Liyah.Liyah.Knowing her name now only made me feel worse about everything. Why had I been so full of hate, blinded so deeply by regret that I had become this... inhumane. I wondered what Elle would think if she was here now. If I was this disappointed in myself, then I could imagine just how disappointed she would be in me. I had hurt an innocent woman for weeks, for a crime she didn't commit.I buried my head in my hands, letting the pain and regret wash all over me. She
The Alpha's Dark Revenge Glimpses
Liyah's POVMy lids were extremely heavy as I struggled to open my eyes and I could hear the sound of my breathing, which definitely was not a good thing. The day after he had put me into this room and assigned Margaret to take care of me, I had fallen very sick. I wasn't sure what the problem was and neither did Margaret but she brought in a new concoction for me to take every single day. Over time I started to feel a little better, but I wasn't strong enough to move around yet.Sometimes my eyes would open up a little and I would catch glimpses of Margaret, Annalise and a strange man looming over my sick bed. But I never stayed awake long enough to engage in conversation or ask questions. But I wasn't even sure I felt like it. I was just exhausted. Sometimes I'd wished I would fall asleep and not awaken the next day. I would be happier when all the pain finally ended. But my wishes never came true and so here I was.Sometimes the memory and pain of
The Alpha's Dark Revenge Weird
Liyah's POVIt had been two weeks since I was declared free. I was fully recovered now, rarely caught a glimpse of the alpha, and I had been accompanying Margaret to wherever she was needed when there was an emergency. Everything was going... good, surprisingly. But I still couldn't help but feel like it was all too good to be true. I kept expecting something bad to occur like it always did when things were going too well in my life. Maybe it was because I was used to having bad things happen to me so I never expected my happiness to last. But so far nothing had transpired yet.Being a free woman felt... weird. I could go out whenever and wherever I wanted to, I didn't have to do any chores, and I didn't have to ask permission for anything from anymore. Sometimes I felt like I would get punished for it but when time passed and nothing happened, it began to dawn on me that it was real. I was no longer a prisoner. Everyone treated me like a person now, which was su

She ran toward me, her lips parted as though she wanted to say something but them she clapped them shut. When she got to where I was standing, she jumped up as far as he tiny legs could carry her and gave me a tight embraced. I squealed in surprise, holding on to her waist to keep her from falling."I was going to call out your name before the hug and then I realized I had no idea what it was," She said, pulling back for a few seconds to regard me strangely. "I am deeply sorry that I forgot to ask all this time," She frowned. "But if you aren't so mad at me for it then may I know now?"I decided that no one could deny just how adorable this little girl was."It's Liyah," I informed her, glad that I no longer had to keep it a secret.Her eyes widened. "My, what a beautiful name! She it suits you so well. Liyah," She repeated. "In my next l
The Alpha's Dark Revenge Cue awkward
Nikolai's POVI stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Liyah also sitting in the backseat of the truck. Before I could react, Eve had jumped forward to drag me by the arm and pull me towards the car."Yay!" She squealed. "You're thirty minutes late but I forgive you. We can get going now.""Wasn't it supposed to be just the two of us?" I asked, but she pretended like she didn't hear me and dragged mecri the other side of the truck. Sneaky little girl.The driver at the wheel greeted, then bowed when he saw me, attracting Liyah's attention. I saw the surprise on her face when she looked up to see me. I followed awkwardly as Eve unlocked the car door and clambered in, plopping herself comfortably between Liyah and I.I suddenly began to feel hot and I tried to ignore it but it only got worse. This was my car, my house. Why did I feel so uncomfortable and out of place? "Turn on the air conditioning," I commanded. When he did I began to
The Alpha's Dark Revenge The height of it all
Liyah's POVIt was hard to keep a straight face when you were with Drew. Add Margaret and Annalise into the puzzle and you've got yourself a perfect day. I don't remember the last time I had laughed this much. I don't think I had ever laughed this much in my entire life. And it felt really good. My ribs were literally hurting. I was actually starting to feel like part of something... part of a family. With people who cared me, who supported me. Sometimes I would wake up thinking it was all a dream, and then to reassure myself that it wasn't, I would race to the nearest person's room, which happened to be Annalise. When she recognized me and was her usual nice self I would sigh in relief and go about my day like normal."I'm serious though," Drew said still laughing. "The last time I stayed up so late. My parents had no idea I had hid in a corner. When I saw them start to pile up the presents under the trees and in the stockings, I nearly had a heart attack."
The Alpha's Dark Revenge This is stupid
Nikolai's POVI stood horrified at the entrance of the kitchen, my palm permanently glued to my forehead. I couldn't understand why I cared so much that I began to feel embarrassed. As if to make my point clearer, my face heated as Drew began to describe in detail how I used to chase him and Anna all over the garden with my booger fingers whenever they provoked me.When I heard Liyah gasp in disbelief and then start to giggle, I wanted to rush into the kitchen and clap a hand over Drew's mouth. Why did he have to tell all these embarrassing stories in front of her? Just why?"And it's so cool how you're all still very good friends," I heard her say.Brief seconds of awkward silence took over, and I could imagine them thinking of what to say."Well, we all grow up don't we?" I heard Drew laugh awkwardly, then silence ensued.My heart clenched as I turned away and started to walk back to my room, lest they walk out to me standing suspiciously at the door.
