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
“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
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
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,
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
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
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
#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.
