Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

Alyssa stood at edge of the lake as she transfixed her eyes on the water. One would easily think that she was only having fun or watching nature, but that was far from what she was doing.

She was trying so hard to make her powers come back, but none of what she tried worked.

She stretched out her hands to the water again and yelled out of her lungs, but she only stopped when she realized that nothing happened.

Tiffany watched her from a distance, wondering what she might be up to and why she stretched out her hands in such manner.

For weeks after her return, Tiffany didn’t fail to observe something strange and different about her friend. Alyssa was now a lot more reserved and most times, she caught her engrossed in deep thoughts.

And now, she was at the lake, yelling and stretching out her hand in a strange and awkward manner.

Alyssa sighed tiredly and strolled over to the sand near the lake. She fell to it and laid down, while looking up and getting lost in thoughts again.

Tiffany made to leave her to herself, but after several thoughts, she shoved it aside. Alyssa had been strange after the kidnapping and with each day, it became worse.

Tiffany finally walked across to Alyssa who jerked up in surprise.

Her friend never came to look for her at the lake since it was a spot for her and Liam alone.

“What are you doing here?” Alyssa asked in shock as she tried to conceal how uneasy she felt at the moment.

“I followed you”, Tiffany said sincerely.

Ever since she observed how strange Alyssa had been, she resolved to keep an eye on her, so that she wouldn’t indulge in something that would hurt her.

“But I’m fine! You shouldn’t keep an eye on me”, Alyssa chuckled to cover up her anxiety.

Despite how hard she tried, Tiffany picked it out already.

“You don’t look fine, Alyssa! You don’t even need to lie to me”, Tiffany said with a bored look that made Alyssa to mute for a second.

Tiffany was right, she could lie to her…

“Well, I’m not fine. I haven’t been since that kidnap”, Alyssa confessed and Tiffany nodded in affirmation. She observed that too…Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“What is wrong?” Tiffany inquired, searching through her eyes for answers which she didn’t seem to find.

Alyssa looked at Tiffany thoughtfully. She felt bad that she kept such a big story away from her and without having any more thoughts, she decided to open up to her.

“Something happened that day, at the warehouse”, she started telling Tiffany who was listening attentively.

Tiffany recalled that Liam had mentioned the warehouse where a heated fight occurred between his men and his.

“Liam told me about the fight that happened there. He said that it was bloody”, Tiffany replied, wondering if Alyssa was about to start telling her about the fight.

“Well, it was. But then, I saved us”, Alyssa dropped and for a minute, Tiffany thought that she had heard wrongly.

She chuckled and folded her hands to her chest, gesturing for Alyssa to proceed with the tale.

“But you can’t fight. I mean, you can’t even lift a finger.  How then is it possible that you saved yourself and Liam, even if Lucas’s men were more in number?” Tiffany asked Alyssa who took in a deep breath and shook her head in a serious manner.

“Something happened and I suddenly had rays of light that i used to make Lucas’s men blind. There were two types; one was used to inflict temporary blindness and the other was used as a barrier to protect Liam”, Alyssa explained Tiffany started laughing aloud.

She stopped when she realized that Alyssa was wearing a serious gaze.

“Something happened before that. It seemed as though I had a rush of memory and when it got to the present one, I felt a wave of agony and rage. That was when I saw the light that surrounded Liam”, Alyssa explained, clearly confused and unable to decipher what really happened that day.

“I’m confused”, Alyssa lamented bitterly.

Tiffany took in a deep breath and patted her shoulder calmly.

“Have you experienced it since then?” Tiffany asked and Alyssa nodded her head negatively.

“I’ve tried to make it happen again, but nothing is happening”, Alyssa cried out in frustration.

Tiffany was finally understanding things now. The way Liam was reacting when she kept asking what the problem was, how Alyssa was demonstrating with her hands at the garden lake the last time. It all made sense now…

“I believe you!” Tiffany said as she hugged Alyssa calmly.

Alyssa disentangled from the hug and stood to her feet. She wanted to show Tiffany what she meant, the exact way it had happened that day at the warehouse.

“What are you doing?” Tiffany asked Alyssa who ignored her and went on with what she was doing.

Alyssa stretched out her hands and closed her eyes calmly. She tried to focus on the good memories she had with Tiffany and Liam. And then, she moved to the bad memories that consisted of their various fights and quarrels. She took in deep breaths at intervals, still with her eyes closed in seriousness.

“Alyssa!” Tiffany said as she tried to hold Alyssa, but Alyssa didn’t move an inch. She pushed her aside and returned her focus to what she was doing.

“Alyssa! Don’t force it. It won’t take time. It would come back”, Tiffany tried to encourage Alyssa, even if she had no idea of how that was going to happen.

“No! It has to come back today”, Alyssa cried out in frustration as she tried to add more intensity to the memories she had.

Nothing seemed to happen and that pushed her to the edge of frustration.

“I want to show you that I’m not crazy! I did it that day”, Alyssa said as she finally opened her eyes and started sobbing.

“I know. I know that you’re not crazy. I know you, Alyssa”, Tiffany said and hugged her fiercely.

“Everything would be fine. Together, we would figure out where you came from”, Tiffany said with a tone of assurance.

Alyssa took in the words of encouragement from Tiffany, who assured her that they would get to the bottom of the whole situation. It was difficult to think of how that would happen, especially because she had no idea of who her mother was or where she came from.

After what seemed like ages, Alyssa made her way to the library. She hardly went in there since she came into the palace, but she currently saw the need to do so since she needed answers.

She went through different books that talked about witches and how their operations were. She looked intently to observe if any had to do with the powers she portrayed at the warehouse, but nothing seemed to be there in that regard.

Her head was swirling as her confusion worsened. She wasn’t really getting details of what she wanted.

After hours of going through different books, she finally drifted off to sleep, with books littered around the table.

Liam walked into the room moments later and found her sleeping in the middle of books that talked about witches.

He placed a soft kiss on her forehead and carried her into her room, silently hoping that she figures out everything in no time.
