ALPHA'S REBOUND Hello Stranger!
“See you in court, Olivia” Olivia couldn't get the sound of his voice out of her head. She was pissed and stunned at the same time, if that was possible. She knew she could not dream of winning a legal battle against Liam, not to talk of the bills of paying for a lawyer to defend her case.It was a lost battle. One she better not take up. She never knew Liam could be so cruel. He was filing for full custody of her baby because she declined his request for co-parenting. It sounds appalling to the ear, and definitely unheard of.She was in a dilemma, and was unsure about her next move.Olivia stared out the window of the moving vehicle, as the car drove her away from his pack. The gentle breeze blowing soothed her aching heart, and she found herself craving for more of it.“I'll drop here,” She announced to the cab driver.The vehicle stopped by the side of the road and she stepped out of it, walking aimlessly to no specific destination.She just needed some alone time to thi
ALPHA'S REBOUND Who is he?
“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
ALPHA'S REBOUND Couple's Retreat
“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
ALPHA'S REBOUND private investigator
“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
ALPHA'S REBOUND Wanna come in?
“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
ALPHA'S REBOUND Alone
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
ALPHA'S REBOUND Gaslight me?
“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
ALPHA'S REBOUND Elijah!
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

ALPHA'S REBOUND A love lost
#End of flashback Olivia inhaled slowly as she opened the door, she leaned on it with the hope that the creaking of the door wouldn't make any noise. She wished she could sneak out without anyone knowing, or maybe just get swallowed up by the floor that she wouldn't need to face the people in the kitchen, let alone Liam who couldn't seem to get his hands off her. Only it did make a noise and Liam looked up to stare at her. She had changed her clothe to a large flowery gown that enveloped her belly, the colour of the cloth reflecting beautifully with her eyes. Her hair was let down just the way he loved it, and this time he couldn't stop staring at her face which he found hard to do just some minutes ago.Liam turned to face her fully, gesturing for them to go back to the room to talk. Olivia hesitated a little bit, an enclosed space together with Liam was a really bad Idea given their chemistry.“It's Important” Liam muttered, though his hands were itching to get close to her an
ALPHA'S REBOUND Dirty little secret
#Flashback“Diane! What did you perceive?” Liam pressed again, refusing to let it go.“It was….it was the smell of a….of a Loup-Garous” Diane stammered fearfully, her skin crawling with unease.“What?” Liam muttered under his breath, completely enveloped with shock. It was impossible. The last time he heard, the creatures had gone into extinction before the start of the great war eighteen years ago. What the hell was going on?***Liam opened the door to the prince's chamber without being ushered in. He was clearly uneased by what he heard from Diane. It had been on his mind for hours, and he couldn't help feeling the heavy weight on his chest, so much that he couldn't fall asleep.“What the hell man? You can't just barge into my chambers without knocking” Elijah exclaimed, gesturing vehemently to show his annoyance. He was just in towels, his wet hair giving him away; he had just emerged from the bathroom.Liam and Elijah were childhood friends, they'd been friends their whole life.
ALPHA'S REBOUND Self control
Liam loathed the sight before him. Olivia was in nothing but a towel that was so short that it exposed her thigh, while Max was pinning her to the wall with his head held close to hers. Liam clenched his fist fiercely to hold himself back, he wanted to break the arms pinning her to the wall so bad. He also wanted to teach Max a lesson for touching someone he placed under his care. He had rescheduled his meeting with the parliament earlier on, just so he could get back to the states on time. He wasn't back fully since the insecurities were yet to be dealt with, he just wanted to make sure Olivia was safe and fine. He needed to confirm for himself even after his sister had assured him that she was ok. His mind had not been at rest since that night’s incident.His visit to the states was impromptu, not even his wife nor parents knew he was coming. He had planned on meeting Olivia quietly and depart the same day in such a way that Max would be the only one who knew about
ALPHA'S REBOUND A slice of heaven
Olivia opened the door to the suite curiously to see Liam's sister standing there with a wide, gentle smile on her face.She scrutinized her from head to toe, her gaze lingering at the familiar box she held in her hand. “Want some pizza?” Diane bellowed as soon as the door opened, raising the customized domino nylon in her hand. Olivia could only nod, as she was caught by surprise at Diane's unexpected presence in the suite. It had only been a day since she dropped her there and left, she had thought that it would be the end of their ties.Diane strolled into the suite and straight to the kitchen, dropping the box of pizza on the sparkling counter. “Have you eaten today?” She asked, and leaned against the counter towards Olivia, who had followed her in and was now opposite her.“Huh?....yes” Olivia drawled nervously, still a bit shy in her presence. “What did you eat?” Diane pressed on, this time with a teasing smile on her face. Despite Olivia's visible discomfort, s
ALPHA'S REBOUND A meeting, Important
Chapter 44 Valerie got into the elevator, clicking the button that would take her down to the door and out of the pack house. She had changed her cloth to a more sophisticated wear, her red jumpsuit giving the intimidating impression she wanted to pass across to anyone in her way.Her phone beeped noisily, dragging her attention away from her thoughts. She reached into her white handbag to search for it, aware that she was still waiting for her PI's response on the location of the stalker.While rummaging through the bag for her phone, an old picture of hers fell to the ground. Valerie groaned palpably, clearly frustrated. How hard could it be to reach into her bag for a phone?She bent to pick the picture, and stopped when she saw who was on it. She was suddenly gripped by nostalgia, old memories flooding her mind.It was an old picture of her and her late mother, they were both on a ferris wheel with their chocolate filled teeth exposed and grinning from ear to ear. Valer
ALPHA'S REBOUND private suite
Diane walked away from the lawn and back to the patio, her gaze on Olivia and her protruded belly.She suspected the baby was her brothers, and she was happy for him, though it would cause a mess once the news got into the wrong hands. She was just glad Valerie's baby wasn't the heir, that was if Valerie's baby was even his at all.“Alright guys, we are taking her to a hotel” she announced then turned to Olivia “Max will follow you inside to pack little of your things. Important things” Diane stated, emphasizing on the last sentence.Olivia and Max walked into the house while she stayed at the lawn for everyone to be ready so she could lock the house. She sat at the comfy chair on the patio, and thought of the news she delivered to her brother. Was there a possibility that she perceived a loup garous scent? She still couldn't believe it. Loup garous were meant to have gone into extinction. They are a special breed of werewolves with very special abilities. They move faster,
ALPHA'S REBOUND A Loup-Garous
Liam couldn't breathe. His heart was beating so fast that he feared he would get a heart attack. He was so scared, pictures of Olivia lying in the pool of her own blood kept flashing through his mind at intervals. As each minute passed by without a call from Diane, the more his anxiety increased. He couldn't lose her, no he couldn't. The first thing that popped into his head when the call ended abruptly was getting Olivia to safety. He had blocked out all other thoughts of sanity from his head when he called his sister, Diane, to go in search of her. He had given her strict instructions to take Max and Anthony along. Those were two of his most trusted gammas. He knew both gammas together with his sister would never snitch on him to anyone about Olivia, that was the main reason he chose to call them instead.He jumped immediately to answer the call when his phone rang. It was Diane.With bated breath, he answered the call. “Hello”“Hi Liam. I'm at the house” Diane's voice ran
ALPHA'S REBOUND No, not the doorknob
“Olivia” Liam called out“Olivia” He yelled, his voice echoing through the kitchen where Olivia had dropped the phone. Enveloped by worry, he jumped from where he sat on the bed, and began to pace his room, bellowing her name frantically. The murderer snuck out of where he was hiding behind the counter, cursing the pot that fell in his mind. He creeped quietly to where the phone was lying on the floor and clicked the end call button.Dropping the phone on the counter, he proceeded out of the kitchen to search for his prey. He had worked hard to put her in this corner and wouldn't want anything to get in his way.Just a while ago, she had been watching a movie; smiling and talking on the phone with no care for the world. That was what he loved about assassinating someone, the ignorance. He had been watching her right from the time she got back from the grocery store. He had watched her clean the house, cook a meal, before settling on the couch to watch a movie. She didn't know h
ALPHA'S REBOUND Twenty three years ago
Grace's car stopped in front of Henry's house, where Olivia directed her to. She glanced at Olivia beside her. “We are here,” she announced. Olivia gulped down, nodding her head in response. “Thank you” She appreciated, before reaching for the door handle. “Hold on” Grace stopped her. She extended her card to Olivia who leaned in to collect it “That's my card. Call me if you need help with anything,” She said. Olivia muttered a thank you, stepping out the door to stroll into the house. The journey to her house from the mall had been filled with awkward silence. Grace was a lovely woman, no doubt about that. Just that Olivia always found it hard to connect with people and form friendships. Both of them didn't even speak all through the ride, and when Grace had asked her any question, her reply had been quick and clipped. With her plastic bag in hand, Olivia struted to the door, looking back to see Grace watching her all the way. She inclined her head as a form of apprecia
