Alice POV
I had to rush home during my break to get my phone, I forgot it this morning. Stupid, stupid, stupid! What if he called and you missed it? Okay calm down he might not have called yet. I practically fly up the steps to my front door, I grab my phone and check. Oh thank goodness, no missed calls. I pocket my phone and rush back to work, the lunch rush will start shortly. I run back in the diner and on my way to the front I grab my apron and start tying it as I come to a stop at a table where a guy is seated alone.
“Good afternoon, welcome to Dev’s what can I get you?” I ask without looking up. He speaks up and as soon as he does I can’t help but have an awe moment. He’s gorgeous, he has silver white hair, he’s tall even when he’s sitting and you can see his muscles through his dress shirt. And then I see his eyes, he has the most beautiful violet eyes.
“Afternoon ma’am, I will have a coffee and the steak sandwich please, medium-rare.” He smiles at me and I feel my cheeks flush slightly. For a moment I forget what I was doing but recover quickly and take down his order and rush back to the kitchen. I take a few other orders and soon I’m back at his table. I place his food down and give him a genuine smile
“Enjoy, just call me if you need anything else.” He just nods and starts eating.
About 20 minutes later he signals for me and I move to his table.
“Yes sir, anything else?” his smile is almost blinding.
“Yes, may I have your name miss?” he asks politely. But I start panicking, what if he works for Peter? Oh god no, did he find me? He will kill me. He will kill him. Panic now very evident on my face I feel the panic attack coming on. The guy instantly gets to his feet and slowly places his hand ever so gently on my shoulder, I didn’t mean to flinch away but my dumbass did. Natural instinct I guess. My breathing is starting to become erratic and all I can think of is Peter’s angry face. The next thing I know he’s slowly guiding me to sit and places a glass of water in front of me. My mind is blank. Why is he being so nice? What if this is the trick? He will kidnap me and take me back to Peter as soon as I trust him. That’s how they work. What did he do to the water? Is it drugged? And then I feel a heavy hand on my shoulder and Devon’s voice breaks through.
“Alice, hey girly are you okay? Hey girly speak to me hun.” I blink and look at Devon, the other guy is standing a few feet away from me, then I clicked. He must’ve called Devon. Devon gave me the water. Oh god I’m such a fool.
I blink a few more times before the words form in my mouth.
“Oh yes Dev, thanks I’m fine.” I stand up and look at the white haired guy
“I’m sorry for this, the meal is on me. Thanks for helping me.” My voice is so soft I don’t think he heard me but he smiles and replies his voice filled with concern
“Are you sure you’re all right miss? I only wanted your name for future reference. And thank you but I have already paid.”
“Oh, no sorry I am fine, maybe just low blood pressure or something, I’ll eat something and I’ll be all better. Thank you sir. Have a nice day.” I turned and left as quickly as I could rushing to the restroom. I lock the door and lean against the washbasin looking at myself in the mirror. My once vibrant blue eyes now look dull and only holds pain. My platinum blonde hair is tainted with black, I don’t wear make-up anymore, well I can’t afford it. I need to save everything up for him. There are no scars in my face, but my upper body are riddled with them. Peter wasn’t stupid, he always made sure not to leave marks where people might see them. A busted lip or bleeding nose didn’t leave scars, and the marks could be covered. Bastard, the emotional scars will never heal. I hold back a sob as I feel the pain in my heart, I clutch my chest taking deep breaths. You can’t cry, don’t cry. He doesn’t know, he will never know. No one will ever know. Be strong. I splash my face with cold water and square my shoulders before I open the door and walk back to my tables.
Belmont POV
“Get rid of him, I have what I need.” I said to the guards as I walked over to the basin to rinse the blood off my hands. I looked at myself in the mirror wiping my face to get rid of the spy’s blood, I looked down and saw my shirt is ruined. Dammit, I really liked that shirt. Just as I pulled my shirt off I got this pain in my chest, at first it was dull then it became worse. I was clutching at my chest as I held onto the closet door for support. What the hell? Is this what a heart attack feels like? Lycans can’t have heart attacks.
“It’s our mate, she’s hurting.” Duke said concerned
“What? How is that possible? I haven’t even touched her yet, I shouldn’t be feeling this, should I?” I asked Duke
“We’re royal piss for brains, simple rules don’t apply to us.” Duke spat
“Well, DOG, if you’re right then it means she’s feeling 3 times worse. Oh s**t what if she’s having a heart attack?!” I yelled through the mind link
“Call Mihai! NOW!” Duke growled loudly in my head, he was agitated and worried. Frankly so was I. I grabbed my phone and dialled Mihai.
