Alpha’s Tormented Seductress

Liam and his search party prepared to leave the palace. He still couldn’t believe that such tragedy was currently happening, but he was determined to find whosoever it was that held Alyssa hostage.

“I would be back before you know it”, Liam told Timothy who was currently in tears.

“I miss mum. Would you bring her back?” Tim asked Liam who blinked back the tears that welled up in his eyes.

He had no answers to his little boy questions because there was no clue leading to where Alyssa was at the moment.

“Mummy would be back before you know it”, Liam said and kissed him on his forehead. He left Timothy in the care of Ryan and his mother, after which he marched out of the palace premises and into the town.

Ella was dead and that made information relating to Alyssa worse. The only option he had was going into the town to ask questions, even if he was the King.

He stopped at a store by the roadside, with his disguise placed over his head and his head lowered to the ground. He wasn’t ready to show himself to the people around because that would stir up a lot of comments and gossips.

“I think I caught sight of her.…”, a man said once he realized that the description was in line with that of a young lady he had met some days ago.

Liam stared at him in a hurry, gesturing for him to proceed with details of the information.

“She was with a man, who looked like he had come from another kingdom, for the wedding. They were at the inn”, the man explained to Liam who paid rapt attention to what he was saying.

“A man?” Liam mumbled as rage started flowing through his vein.

He couldn’t ascertain why Alyssa would be with a man, neither did he understand what a man would want from his fiancée.

Liam gave the man some coins after which he gestured on the men for them to proceed with the search.

His blood was boiling and his heart was skipping beats every second. It ached his heart to know that his Alyssa was with another man who had no idea of. A man who might be a danger to her.

They got to the inn and they directed them to sit and wait at a corner. Liam had disguised himself, so none of the people around knew that he was the king.

He used this opportunity to listen to their conversations, hoping that he would get something that would lead him to Alyssa. Instead, he got news concerning his chaotic wedding ceremony.

“I think the woman is bad luck. I mean, nothing of such have happened in this kingdom before!” One of the people said at a table close to where Liam sat.

Liam was enraged by his statement that he made to descend towards him and pounce on him in fury.

However, Nathaniel held him calmly.

“Relax! They would know it’s you if you do something rash!” Nat whispered into his ears and he nodded in understanding.

“I think he is only a bad luck. I mean, the King must have been cursed because nothing seems to be working out for him. How could he have almost gotten married to a different person?” Another man on that same table said and they all broke into laughter.

Liam clenched his fist in fury and gulped down hard. This was not the best place to wait, but he was willing to do it if that would get him the information he wanted.

“You can talk to me”, the owner of the inn said as he walked closer to Liam who was now relieved that he had arrived.

“I’m in search of a young woman. They said that she was with a man and they were here today”, Liam said to the man who drifted off in thoughts.

“A young man who looked like a prince was here indeed and with a woman”, the man explained.

Liam didn’t care if the man looked like a prince. He only wanted to know where he was at the moment.

“I would and check for him in any of the rooms”, Liam said and stood to his feet.

He gestured for his men to go on with the search, but the owner of the inn stopped him.

“He left in the morning and haven’t returned since then”, he divulged while Liam sighed deeply.

Still, he wasn’t ready to take any chances. He gestured for his men to go on with the search and just as the man had said, he had really left…

Liam was frustrated as he dropped another set of coins into the man’s hands and walked out of the inn. He couldn’t ascertain why things had to be this difficult. Ella who was the mastermind of the whole kidnap was dead, without leaving a clue and this triggered his fear.

They got out of the inn and he grunted in frustration.

His heart was in great unrest because he wondered what they would do to Alyssa if they eventually got to know that the leader of the kidnap was dead.

“We should head back to the palace and have some rest. You haven’t eating anything since morning”, Nathaniel reminded Liam who sighed again in frustration.

He had already forgotten that it was his wedding day. He was yet to put anything into his mouth and his stomach was already rumbling. But still, he wasn’t ready to eat until he had set his eyes on Alyssa.

Nathaniel brought out some fruits that he had carried with him, and together, they went to sit under a tree.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone was exhausted and tired from the day’s activity. They had round in search of Alyssa, but haven’t even caught a clue of where she might be.

“Have some of these”, Nathaniel said to Liam who rejected his kind gesture.

“I’m nothing close to being hungry”, Liam said, even if his stomach said otherwise.

After much persuasion, he finally picked up the apple and munched on it.

However, some little children dragged his attention and for a second, he remained mute to observe them. First, they took turns in becoming different things. The first boy behaved like a car and drove around with his body. The second boy ran the moment the first boy chased him.

Liam monitored for a while, after which he called on them. Nat wondered what he was to, but he didn’t give him an ear.

“They are only children. They would never provide a valid information!” Nathaniel said as he yawned and munched on his apple tiredly.

Liam was certain that he was right. But his instincts told him to have a conversation with the kids.

They four of them walked towards them and he made them feel relaxed by handing some apples over to them.

“What were you all demonstrating”, Liam asked as he smiled at them, to make them answer in the most explanatory way they could.

“The man who passed here some hours ago!” The first boy said and started laughing aloud.

“There was a lady at the back of the car, but she was covered with a blanket.. like a baby!” The second child said and they started running around playfully.

Liam jerked to his feet and stared at Nat who followed suit.

He glared at the children again and before he could utter another word, they ran off.
