Chapter Seventeen

Alyssa woke with the sun and decided not to wake Jordan up as well. She walked down to Daniel's room and sat in there until he woke up.

Jordan found them there almost minutes later and as if fate just had the perfect idea of 'worst day ever' Daniel said to Jordan,

"Mama luvs you."

"Mama?" "Loves?" Jordan and Alyssa ask at the same time.

As if realizing what Daniel said Alyssa quickly covered it up saying to Daniel,

"Yes mama does love you."

Jordan seemed to believe it...sort of. But Alyssa didn't want to say anything else on the subject.

"Are you guys hungry?" She asked.

"Yes." Daniel said happily and Alyssa passed Jordan not quite meeting his eye.

She wasn't sure if she loved him. She wasn't even sure what love is.

Alyssa navigated through the palace based off of her memory. She walked them to the kitchen and after setting Daniel down in one of the chairs said to Jordan,

"I'm gonna go to the restroom, I'll be right back." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and made her way to the bathroom.

When she was done, Alyssa began to walk back to the kitchen when she spotted the same hooded figure from several nights ago turning down the far end of the hallway.

Following her instincts, Alyssa followed them. She paused when she heard him speak,

"...of course not sir."

.

"I am positive that Alyssa is the King's mate."

.

"My King, please don't act rashly."

.

"No of course not my King." He whimpered in fear.

He was talking to King Spencer, Alyssa decided and against her better judgement she rounded the corner and froze when she saw who it was.

Paxton Knight.

Alyssa's eyes darkened and Paxton said into the phone,

"I'll have to call you back."

Paxton dropped the phone but he wasn't able to dodge the swift blow to his nose. He staggered back but Alyssa caught his shirt pulling him back.

She swept her legs under him causing him to fall but Alyssa still held him.

Paxton tried to regain his footing but Alyssa pulled him close and said in a whisper,

"You wanted a warrior, a fighter, a monster...I'll show you just the kind of monster I can be."

She dropped Paxton and he landed on the ground with a loud thud. She straddled him and sent punch after punch directly to his face. One landed on his throat which seemed to be a wake up call.

He began to struggle against Alyssa but she had him pinned like he had taught her. Her bloodlust was returning but she didn't care.

If she ripped Paxton apart, Alyssa saw that as a bonus. Her ears were ringing again and all she heard was Paxton's blood.

She heard others too but blocked them out.

Suddenly, she was being picked up off of him. Alyssa thrashed around in the person's arms. She threw her head back which made contact with their face.

They let out a grunt of pain and dropped Alyssa. She got a couple more kicks in before Jordan turned her to face him.

Blood oozed out of his broken nose and it took Alyssa everything in her not to give into her bloodlust she felt.
