Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

Alyssa stared at Liam and smiled calmly, but almost immediately, the smile faded as she landed on the ground with a thud.

Liam was swift to run across to her, even if he barely had enough strength for himself.

“Alyssa! Stay with me…”, Liam said as he patted her on the cheeks, hoping that she would open up her eyes and look at him.

She didn’t move, neither did she raise an eyelid. His eyes dropped as he started thinking of what could have gone wrong with her. Beads of sweats formed on his forehead when he realized that he was at fault for failing to protect her from Lucas.

Just then, his men stormed in and disbanded Lucas’s men who still laid on the ground in disarray. They took all of their weapons after which they took them in as prisoners.

“Are you okay?” Nathaniel asked as he quickly ran over to Liam who was still trying to wake Alyssa.

“I’m fine, but she’s not”, Liam replied and sighed in exasperation.

“We should take her back to the palace, immediately! I need the best physician to be summoned with immediate effect”, Liam ordered as he grabbed Alyssa into his arms and stormed out of the room.

His men were still busy with Lucas’s men, but he didn’t seem to be interested with that. All he cared about was Alyssa and as he rushed back to the palace, all he could hope was that she would be eventually okay.

He returned to the palace and the first person he met was Tiffany.

She rushed over to him, with great relief in her eyes.

“I’m glad you found her”, she said, but quickly wore a frown the moment she observed that Alyssa was laying in an unconscious state.

“What must have happened to her?” She asked Liam who was quickly making way to her room.

He couldn’t ascertain how he was going to explain all what happened to Tiffany. It still looked like a dream or hallucination, but the more he thought of it, the more he realized that whatever it was that happened to Alyssa was the reason why she fainted.

“Did anything happen?” Tiffany asked again as she sauntered behind Liam who wasn’t uttering a word.

“She just fainted”, Liam said and avoided staring into Tiffany’s eyes.

Tiffany observed that there was something more to it, but rather than bugging him with questions, she decided to remain mute and pray that her friend would be okay.

Everyone in the palace was greatly relieved to see that she was okay. The palace has been in a state of chaos ever since she went missing during the wedding. At some point, they concluded that she might have been killed by some enemy kingdoms who never wanted Liam to have a queen.

However, seeing that she returned, they couldn’t help feeling glad and elated.

For the rest of the day, Liam stayed with Alyssa, even after the physician had administered some treatment and left.

The queen came in around the evening time. She had heard that Alyssa was back with Liam.

She quickly rushed in and met Liam whose head was lowered to the side of Alyssa’s bed. It was already night and wasn’t surprising to see how exhausted he looked. He was yet to have enough rest, because of how hectic his wedding day turned out to be.

“I’m so glad you found her”, the queen beamed in elation as she gazed at Alyssa who seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

“Would she be fine?” She asked Liam who barely said a word since he returned.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The queen stayed with him for a moment, after which she left when she realized that he wasn’t making any efforts towards telling her what happened where they found her.

Liam had a quick flashback again and this caused his head to ache slightly. Thinking of what might have happened over there and not coming up with an explanation made him feel worse. He needed answers, he wanted answers and the only way he could get them was through Alyssa.

He glanced at Alyssa again and stared at her intently.

“Does she even know and understand what she did back there?” He asked himself and after a careful thought, he realized that there was no way she would have an idea.

Just then, Tiffany walked into the room again, with questioning glares and a tray of food.

“You haven’t eaten all through the day”, Tiffany said to Liam who nodded in affirmation.

That was the last thing on his mind though. At first, finding Alyssa was the major thing he fought for. And right after finding her, he was now fighting for answers that weren’t anywhere in sight.

“You should eat. Alyssa is here now and you have to be strong when she wakes up” Tiffany suggested and passed the tray of food across to Liam.

Liam collected it, even if he didn’t want to eat from it. His stomach rumbled that minute and that gave him no option other than to eat the meal that had been brought to him.

“This is delicious!” Liam commented as he placed a chunk of chicken wings into his mouth.

Tiffany nodded her head and took a seat beside him. They were now sitting and facing Alyssa.

Tiffany turned to look at him again and that was when she observed that he wasn’t looking at her. It was as though she was avoiding his gaze.

“You’re not looking at me”, Tiffany noted with a slight scoff.

She was right. Liam was trying so hard to avoid her gaze. He didn’t want to spew what he had witnessed, because that was the major thing that bothered his heart.

“So, tell me, is there a problem?” Tiffany asked with curiosity dancing in her eyes.

She was always known to be curious and observant. Liam was not surprised by her question.

He took in a deep breath and turned to her. Maybe in a quest for find answers, he needed to start from within.

“You’ve been Alyssa’s friend for a long time”, Liam started while Tiffany nodded in affirmation.

“Have you ever observed somehow weird or strange about her? Any day at all?” Liam asked, hoping that he didn’t sound so blunt and direct.

Tiffany drifted off in thoughts after which she nodded her head negatively.

She could see a bothered look on Liam’s face and that heightened her fear. Just then, the queen walked into the room and observed the tension in the atmosphere.

“What’s going on?”she asked while Tiffany walked over to Alyssa and gazed at her in a frenzy.

The queen suddenly panicked too as she walked over to Alyssa.

“Is she going to be okay?” She asked and Liam nodded.

He knew that the questions he had asked Tiffany made her think that Alyssa wasn’t doing fine. But he had no strength to explain further. And so, he stood to his feet and walked out of the room, leaving Tiffany and his mother.

Timothy who was sitting quietly at a corner quickly followed him out of the room, crying profusely as though he knew that his mother was in a critical state.

“I want mummy!” Timothy said while Liam carried him and rocked him on his chest.

“She would come to you soon, okay?” He tried to assure him, even if he had a great fear of the unknown in his heart.

He finally took Timothy into his room and after moments of consoling him, he slept right there, on his chest.
