Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

It was the wedding day. Alyssa was lost in thoughts as she stared at her beautiful figure in the mirror. She was clad in her white, flowing beautiful dress and she could swear that she was the most beautiful bride she had seen in a long time.

“You look beautiful!” Tiffany commented as she blinked off the tears that made her eyes bleary.

It was such an emotional moment for the both of them. At intervals, Alyssa made to break into tears, but she only got reminded of the fact that she would ruin the makeup.

Her mind travelled down memory lane just as they did some final touches on her face.

She thought of Liam and how he was the best choice for her. He was a man of deep insight who made her understand life from different angles and sides.

He helped her value who she was and the way he stared at her gave her confidence and the urge to be better.

“You are finally doing this!” Tiffany announced the moment they were done with her face. Alyssa jerked out of her thoughts and mouthed a “thank you”.

She looked beautiful, but a deeper look into her eyes showed a bride who was scared and nervous.

Tiffany had told her severally that it was a normal feeling that engulfed brides on the day of their wedding. However, something was off with that of Alyssa. With each second that passed, she was more convinced that trouble was lurking nearby.

“How exactly are you feeling?” Tiffany asked as she sent a worried stare across to Alyssa.

“Nervous ! The number of people would make me want to puke”, Alyssa said and forced a laughter out of her lips.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

She was only trying to be fine and shove aside every weird thoughts that creeped into her head.

“You met most of them at the dinner yesterday. There is no way you would be entirely nervous or scared”, Tiffany said in a reminding tone and Alyssa opened her eyes in realization.

Tiffany was right. The majority of the people who would grace the wedding and already come for the dinner. That means, she had nothing to be scared of…

But still, something bothered her heart and she couldn’t place hands on it.

Tiffany felt guilty on the other hand. She had seen Ella in the palace but she hid it from her best friend. She had her best reasons for doing that, because she wouldn’t want to add up to the tension she felt already.

“Everything would be okay!” Tiffany said, hoping that she was right with her statement. She had warned Ella to stay away from the palace, even though the larger part of her heart told her that it wasn’t going to be possible. She only had to remain positive…

They got done with the finishing touches of the makeup on Alyssa’s face. She looked stunning and she knew it.

Her anxiety was getting heightened by the second and she needed no one to tell her that she would love a moment alone.

And so, she turned to them and smiled calmly.

“I would love to be alone. Just for a moment….”, Alyssa said with a wide smile.

Tiffany asked her if she would be fine alone and she nodded her head in affirmation.

They all left the room while Alyssa gazed at the mirror and smiled. She placed her hands on her chest and took in a deep breath to relieve her nerves.

“It’s just for a few hours. Before you know it, you are done!” She said to herself and smiled.

This was going to be the longest day of her life and she only prayed that things would go as planned. She couldn’t decipher why she had strange feelings or why she felt that danger was lurking nearby. She concluded that it was normal fear that came with a wedding day. Perhaps, the palace was greatly secured and no one would come in to harm her or anyone present.

Just then, a knock on her door interrupted her thoughts. She sighed deeply, especially when she recalled that she had told them that she wanted a moment to herself.

“I told you all that I want a moment for myself. Don’t you listen?” She sighed tiredly.

“It’s your son!” The maid from the other side of the door said and immediately, Alyssa jerked to her feet.

“What happened to him?” She asked, with her heart beating out of her chest and her feet almost giving her away to the ground.

“He was playing around and somehow, hurt himself”, the maid explained and for a minute, Alyssa sighed in relief.

She had thought that something bad had happened. Or that he was missing.

“I’m coming right away!” Alyssa said and started pulling up her gown.

The queen has advised her to remain in her room until it was time for her to come out. But thoughts of the pain her little boy would be going through made her forget the queen’s words.

“Where’s he?” She asked the maid who pointed at his room.

She walked into the room, looking around and wondering where the little boy must have gone to. He wasn’t anywhere in sight like the maid had said.

“Timothy!” She called out, with her heart beating out of her chest.

The maid had sounded with so much urgency that she feared for what might have happened to her son.

The queen’s words came to her ears again and she sighed deeply. She felt sorry that she disobeyed the queen by leaving her room when she was told not to. But she was most concerned about the safety of her son.

She checked around the room again and it dawned on her that he was not in the room at the moment. She turned around and made to walk out when he felt a cold hand on her back.

Alyssa remained frozen to the spot. There was possibly no way the hands on her back would be that of her son, because Tim was only a little boy.

She swirled around almost immediately and that was when her eyes landed on him…Lucas.

“What?” She gasped in horror as she took fearful steps backwards.

“Hello…queen”, Lucas said sarcastically as he walked closer to her.

“I would prefer if you stay mute and avoid uttering a single word. That would save both of us the stress of being in trouble”, Lucas added, still taking slow strides towards her.

Alyssa knew that the best thing to do at the moment was to let out a loud scream.

She made to scream, but couldn’t because a white cloth was placed across her lips. She struggled for a moment, but stopped when she started drifting off into the world of unconsciousness.

Lucas let out a smirk after which he removed the cloth that was dampened in chloroform.

“That would keep you quiet for a while”, he hissed and held her firmly.

Ella came into the room almost immediately. She was satisfied that Lucas had done his part. Now, it was time to do hers.

“Wait!” She called out to him right before he made to carry Alyssa.

“You should change her to this”, she said and threw a robe across to him.

Lucas threw a questioning look at her while Ella smiled pretentiously.

“I’m only saving your ass. That wedding dress is too big and it would reduce your speed”, she explained and Lucas nodded in understanding.
