As soon as the first streak of light shone in the very early hours of the next day, Lana tiptoed out of bed. Kamala was still snoring when she felt the rays of the light. Grumbling, she gathered the comforter to herself and covered her head with a pillow to block out the light. She was in no mood to wake up that early. While Lana had the bugging situation of yesterday to take care of, she was eager to explore the place too.Quietly, she freshened up and re-wore the same clothes of yesterday. Heading outside, it was beautiful. The night didn't do justice to the place. Her legs hit the bottom of the stairs, and all she could say was, “wow!” The guards stationed everywhere had vanished into thin air, except for the ones around the Alpha mansion. It was heavily guarded. Outside that, everyone else was at the training unit with Elijah, Viktor, and four other guys conducting.There was no segregation. Everybody was training. Male and female, some looking like they were fifteen. Yet, they t

Tyler, calm as a running stream, grabbed the collar of the man's shirt and jerked him upwards. Since Tyler was so tall, the man was kicking his feet as he was elevated from the floor. “I will speak just once. Listen and speak properly. Why did you attack her?”The man had fear written all over his face. His eyes were wavering as he tried to coordinate his words. “Because she is close to the Alpha--”“What Alpha?” Lana questioned, stepping forward. “What Alpha? Who am I? What was I?” Knowing the truth, her voice quivered, anxiety overtaking her body. Lana briefly closed her eyes in thoughts of relaxing. She needed to calm down, slow her racing heart and maintain her body language.Tyler perceived this fear but ruled it off as Lana feeling uneasy close to the prisoner. Her pounding heart was so loud, his wolf wanted to jump out and comfort its mate. Nonetheless, Tyler growled at Gael, shutting off the pity. Unawares, Lana became immobile. A gush of wind blew at just her, picking her ene

When the girls approached the counter, the clanging of utensils and dishes startled Lana. There were different menus scattered on each counter containing the list of what was available for the day. It was elaborate. From appetizers to main meals and even desserts. Each section of breakfast, lunch, or dinner was mouthwatering.“Can one eat anywhere else rather than here?” Lana asked as her legs itched to find privacy and quietness.“Yes. Your room. The garden. Anywhere is okay, but the Alpha doesn't like that sometimes. He likes everyone to stay and eat here,” a wavy brunette from the group of girls answered. Lana gave a nod, and they proceeded to make their picks. Her appetite was large. She wanted a taste of all the sumptuous meals that called her attention. It was a fight to choose with precision, but she had to make up her mind. All that, she will taste in due time. Minutes later, a stainless tray containing each girl's order was before them. They carried their meals to find an e

One week has drastically passed. Lana began to feel the advantages of a coordinated and well-governed pack. Everything had time. Everyone obeyed. And, the environment was safe to move around in at any time. For the last seven days, morning, afternoon, and night, Lana relentlessly trained. Katida made it obvious that she wanted to make Lana quit. Same with Elijah. When her bones ached and her nerves could no longer function, Lana found Kamala or Levi to spend time with. She extracted as much information as possible from them. They told her stories about the pack, gossiped about others, and made jokes. These two were the primary source of her happiness.Lana's body was back to its proper state. Her mind focused. She had less to worry about since the prisoner 'mysteriously' died. Today was one of those days that she woke up with cramped muscles and an aching head, yet, she had to train. Tyler made sure to keep himself so busy that he inky caught occasional glimpses of her. Whenever he

Lana didn't know how long she was on the run. She only stopped when she felt her draining strength. Around her was a waterfall with a sloppy area where one could sit. Her arm and palm had completely healed. She exhaled, breathing in the safe air of the space. Opening her eyes, she studied her environment, using the peacefulness to relax.Looking down from her rocky perch, mist billowed out in soft clouds where water and gravity collided. Lana screamed into thin air, the roaring water masking her sound. It was an outburst of all emotions that she couldn't explain. The breeze played with her hair, brushing it against her shoulders. A stray water droplet landed on her arm as she pulled in another deep breath. She carefully walked to the flat boulder that rose from the center of the plunge pool when her voice began to itch from all the screaming. She eased herself onto it, sitting.From where she sat, she was able to scoop a palmful of water and drank from it, quenching her thirst. Star
