“Nice to meet you Olivia”' Elijah muttered, her name rolling off his tongue perfectly. He had a jewish accent underneath his almost exquisite pronunciation that one would have to focus hard to notice, piquing her curiosity about his origin.Olivia swallowed hard this time around, in a bid to avoid another embarrassing stammer. “Nice to meet you too,” She responded. They sat in comfortable silence after that. The humming of the birds in the garden vibrating through the stillness. It was a wonderful distraction that reduced the awkwardness of the quiet stretch of time.When he cleared his throat out of nowhere, her gaze shifted from staring at the pond and back to him.“You shouldn't be out here” he stated.“What do you mean?” Olivia asked, confused.“I meant, you shouldn't be engaging in too much strenuous activity when you are close to delivery” Elijah commented, staring pointedly at her belly.Olivia turned away from him, flushing in shame. Sometimes, she always forgot that eve
“He's here” Kelvin's voice in Liam's mind woke him up from his rest.He had barely slept for a few hours since he had been so busy with pack business and the murder investigation that was still yet to have a conclusion. He was also at a dead end in the investigation of Olivia's stalker. He had left the whole thing and gone to bed after the pack hunt the night before. Valerie and him had also taken their relationship to the next level. It wasn't their first time making love, that's quite clear from her pregnancy. But this one was different, she was now marked. Hence, their first love making after her Luna's claiming. He just found something quite weird. He could now feel all her emotions during their love making, and it was filled with dissatisfaction. He felt her desire for something more violent, and adventurous. Whereas, Liam was a slow burn kind of guy.He hadn't been noticing her disinterest in their sex life ever since they got married. Now that he had, he was beginning
“You can leave us” Elijah commanded the forensic worker that accompanied them into the morgue. He removed the piece of clothing covering the face of the corpses, and scrutinized their bodies intently.Liam stood beside him, observing his every action while peering into the bite marks to see if anything was out of place.“See this?” Elijah pointed to a point on the neck of the corpse.“Yes” Liam replied, gazing at the mark Elijah was pointing at.“See the bite” Elijah swiped his glove-covered hands on the dried mark, stretching the skin to look inward.“Compare it to this” He brought out the picture that contained the mayor's corpse, showing it to him.Liam leaned closer to him, examining his speculation carefully. He didn't see anything out of place, they both looked like it was done by a professional. “It's the same person?” Liam voiced out his thoughts, though he was not sure if that was what Elijah wanted to hear.“Exactly” Elijah uttered as he rose from his crouched positi
“What do you want from me Liam?” Olivia queried intensely as soon as she stepped into the luxury of his Audi A8.Liam, who was busy starting his car, threw her a glance. “I just want to take you home” he replied matter-of-factly“And why is that?” she retorted, casting him a mean glare, knowing fully well that she never asked for his help.“I can't offer to take you home now?” He raised a brow at her.“No, you can't! In fact, you don't have the right to do that.” Olivia fired back at him.“You are overreacting” Liam muttered, causing a gasp from Olivia.“Overreacting? Oh! Sorry Mr Wagner, I'm so happy that you are filing for full custody of my child while declaring to the world who your true Luna is the same night” Olivia mocked. Liam sighed, he knew he was never going to live that down. The decision to file for full custody had been a spur of the moment kind of thing. She really didn't think he was serious about it, did she? He had just been trying to get back at her for refus
Liam contemplated on going inside, he didn't think it was the best thing to do. They have crazy chemistry and it wouldn't do them any good to be alone in a place as tempting as an enclosed house.“Uhm….I don't think Henry would like to see me in his house” he said, indirectly rejecting her offer. Only he wasn't expecting what was coming. “Henry is not home” Olivia explained.Liam coughed awkwardly, his throat suddenly clogged at the announcement. “He is going to come home right?” He asked.Olivia scowled at him, already getting frustrated. She didn't want it to look like she was forcing him to come into the house. “ Liam, are you coming or not?”Liam sighed, unfastening his seat belt. “ I'm coming,” he surrendered.Olivia stepped out of the car, walking ahead of Liam who was parking his car properly. She stepped on to the patio, and tried to bend to the flower vase on the floor. Her effort was fruitless, her enlarged tummy prohibiting her movement. “Let me help” She hear
“You heard what the doctor said, Olivia. No strenuous activity, get plenty of rest, and please, call me when something is wrong” Liam passed his instructions to Olivia, who was seated on the passenger seat beside him.It was their first antenatal together and Liam was trying his best to be present in his child's life, no matter how late it was.It had been five days since Olivia had been staying alone in the house. Though everything was going fine, Liam still felt like it was the calm before the storm.She had refused to stay in a hotel, prior to his previous suggestion, insisting that he was being too overprotective. “Gosh Liam! How many times will you tell me this?” Olivia whined, groaning aloud. She was tired of him ordering her around. She already had Henry as an overprotective friend, Liam joining the click was making her life miserable. He called her literally every evening to make sure she was home safe, Henry also called around the same time, almost as if they were
Liam had been restless since he heard the news. He could not believe that Olivia was going on a date. He really didn't want to be selfish, she had a life even before he got her pregnant. However, he could not stop the jealousy consuming him.Images of her making out with her date had been haunting him, replaying in his mind, and driving him insane. Liam couldn't bear anyone else touching Olivia, anyone else but him.He stared at the file he had been trying to understand since morning, it all looked like gibberish and he couldn't even comprehend them. He sighed heavily, rubbing his eyes to focus for the umpteenth time.A knock on the door drove him out of his trance. He was at home, in his study, it could be any of his pack members.“Come in” he said flatly, as he lacked the patience to settle any dispute that day.He was surprised when his sister strolled in, looking so sad. “What's wrong?” he asked immediately, shoving down the thoughts of Olivia going on a date. It was h
Olivia smiled widely at a laughing Elijah. They were in the back seat of his limousine, on their way home after the best date of her life.Of course, his fleet of vehicles were still gathered around them, reassuring her of her safety with him.She still didn't know who he was to attract such influence. He had successfully avoided the question throughout their date. She only knew he was a werewolf, and despite her hatred for the creatures, Elijah was different. “It's not funny” Olivia chuckled to herself, her face red from laughing so much.Elijah was also a funny guy. According to the saying, a funny guy was the best way to a lady's heart. Which was very true in this case.Her eyes were filled with love and adoration for him, her heart fluttering at each and every word he said. He was such a charming man, knowing exactly what to do, and what to say to make her comfortable around him.“It is,” Elijah teased. “You should have seen him. He almost peed his pants”Olivia rolled her
