Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

Alyssa was in her room when she heard a knock. She stared at the door intently, trying to ascertain if she was expecting any visitor at this time of the day. Just as she thought, a note slipped into the room from the opening below the door.

This heightened her interest and immediately, she jerked to her feet and walked towards the door.

She picked up the note and made to read it when she decided to catch a glimpse of who might have dropped it.

She quickly opened the door, but just as she had thought, the person was nowhere in sight.

Alyssa rolled her eyes and walked back to her bed with the note, with her heart beating in anticipation.

“From that one person you love”, Alyssa saw the heading and a bright smile formed on her lips.

It was from Liam…

“Meet me at the garden by 4pm. I have something for you”, the note said and unknowingly, Alyssa’s heart raced.

She couldn’t decipher why she felt anxious or nervous, especially because this wasn’t the first time she would be meeting Liam at the garden.

She sighed deeply and dropped the note aside, waiting patiently for the time to come. The past few weeks had been stressful for her, and not knowing how to bring back her powers even made her feel worse. She needed no one to tell her that all she wanted at this point was Liam’s company.

The moment it was some minutes to the time, Alyssa rushed out of her bedroom and ran towards the garden, almost bumping into a servant who was coming towards her direction.

“I’m sorry!” Alyssa apologized with a smile, after which she decided to walk responsibly in order to avoid unnecessary attention from the people around.

She got to the garden and found Liam standing by the lake, with his hands folded behind his back.

She walked slowly, trying to avoid getting noticed by him. Once she got to him, she wrapped her hands around his waist and placed her head on his back.

Liam chuckled and caressed her hands lovingly, taking in the sweet scent that engulfed the atmosphere the moment she arrived.

He finally swirled her around and pulled her into a tight, inhaling every part of her body and closing his eyes in delight.

“I missed you!” Liam said calmly as he swirled Alyssa around and finally grabbed her on the waist.

“How are you doing today?” He asked when he observed how tired and worn out she looked.

“I’m doing great!” Alyssa replied as she recalled how she had found herself on the comfort of her bed the moment she woke from sleep.

“You were so worn out at the library. I think you’re greatly punishing yourself for not knowing who you are or how to get back your powers”, Liam noted and for a minute, Alyssa pondered over what he had said.

He was right to some extent. She was in dire need to know her origins that she over exerted herself in the library all night and day. She had even forgotten that she was engaged to the King and would soon become a queen.

Liam has decided to give her some space to herself. He understood how overwhelmed she became the moment she knew of her existing powers.

For weeks, they didn’t talk about the kidnap anymore, neither did they talk about plans for their next wedding.

“I think we should make plans for another wedding” Liam suggested and Alyssa nodded her head immediately.

She needed a distraction after all, something fierce enough to take her heart away from the series of heartaches that came from wanting to know who she was.

“You should pick a date”, Liam noted and Alyssa drifted off in thoughts.

The earlier she picked out a date, the better for her and her relationship with King. Perhaps, the kingdom needed a queen who would rule together with their King.

“A week from now would be fine”, Alyssa said as her heart skipped a beat.

Memories from the last wedding day crossed through her mind and unknowingly, she wore a solemn gaze.

“Everything would be fine, I promise. No harm would come to you,” Liam promised with a soft smile.

***

The wedding plans kickstarted with full force. Alyssa was in charge of most of the preparations this time, basically because of how much she tried to shove aside the thoughts of her powers.

It still disturbed her greatly, because no matter how she tried, it was devastating to realize that she couldn’t figure out the one thing that connected her to her mother.

It wasn’t as though the power had been with her for a long time, or as though she mastered it for a long time. But then, she felt bad since it was a huge part of her life.

“How many cakes would you want that day?” Tiffany asked Alyssa as she walked into her room, with the queen sauntering behind her.

“I suggested about ten giant step cake, mixed with different flavors and ingredients”, The queen said, causing Alyssa to smile calmly.

“That would be prefect!” Alyssa said with a wide grin after which Tiffany noted down something on her book.

“The previous wedding dress would be fine, isn’t it?” Tiffany asked and Alyssa’s face turned into a scowl.

Inasmuch as the wedding dress had been recovered from Ella during the wedding, Alyssa did not feel the need to put it on.

“I can’t wear that gown anymore”, she said as a cold glint flashed past her eyes.

It was the most beautiful wedding dress they would find anywhere, but she rather wear something less exquisite, rather than one that had been worn by Ella.

“Noted! That means, you would be trying out the new gowns tomorrow”, Tiffany asked and Alyssa nodded with a smile.

It was strange that they were going over the wedding plans over again. But she was glad that the major enemy they had was already out of the picture.

She followed them out of her room and they went over to the second garden where the wedding was scheduled to take place.

Alyssa felt nauseous again and suddenly stopped walking. She couldn’t help feeling awkward whenever she recalled how Ella had ruined her wedding day.

“Can we use the other garden?” She asked as she pointed over to the garden that had a lake, the favorite spot of her and Liam.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The queen looked at her intently and so did Alyssa, but they didn’t argue about it since Alyssa had said that she wanted to be in charge of most of the wedding plans.

They strolled over to the garden with a lake, and just as Alyssa had thought, Liam was standing there.

The queen and Tiffany stopped in their tracks after telling Alyssa that they would continue with the plans the next day. They retreated afterwards while Alyssa sauntered towards Liam who was now looking at her.

They talked about the wedding plans, after which Liam asked her how she was feeling about her powers that were get to return.

“I feel disconnected. I mean, I feel lost and confused. That should be the only thing connecting me to my mother and I feel sad that I can’t even figure it out!” Alyssa cried out in frustration, but Liam hugged her passionately and assured her that it would come back in no time.
