Lance POV I rushed over to Olivia whose arm was dripping blood. Anger coursed through every corner of my body. I was thorn apart from whether to jump on the bastard who had skillfully aimed a knife at my wife, ending his wretched life. But I had to attend to Olivia first."Hold him down." I roared as I made my way like a flash of light to where she was standing.I had lost her before due to my carelessness and I was not willing to go through such pain or trauma again. Anyone who dared touch an hair on her body would go down immediately, much more, let her blood drip. I was going to tear the bastard down with my own hands. I crossed over and held her hand out, pressing down on the spot to reduce the pressure of pain and stop the continuous bleeding."Ouch!" she winced in pain."Sorry. Hold up, darling. It's going to heal soon." I checked the fresh cut on her arm to make sure there was no sign of poisoning. That was what I dreaded the most. The knife could have been laced with an
Ashley/Olivia's POV"Damn! Why does this thing have to come this time?" I cursed silently under my breath."Are you okay, dear? What's wrong with your stomach?" He asked, looking at me in a way that made my stomach flutter from another kind of excitement and not pain."Is it a poisonous pain? I am worried it may the poison. The knife may have been laced with a kind of poison I could b I t detect.""Poison?" I shot him a funny look at his quick conclusion on the cause of the pain.How could I tell him it was the thing with women every month? My monthly flow came easier than expected and in this situation of all times."I am okay. It's not any poison. It's just a sharp pain I felt but it's okay now." I lied through my teeth.The lie did not hold up long as the pain came up again, this time much stronger than the last. I clutched at my abdomen tightly, beads of sweat forming on my forehead. My face grew pale.I could not walk or even stand on my own.Lance shot me a grin and lifted me up
Ashley/ Olivia's POV"Are you falling for him? Don't tell me you are!"" Arrgh! Keep quiet. I am not falling except you want me to fall into a pit again. It is probably another side effect of the pill I took.""Is the hotness and coldness you are feeling at the same time part of the side effects? Stop being delusional.""Just keep quiet. Shut up!" I shouted aloud. Lance look at me wondering who I was talking to. He pointed his index finger to himself and ask skeptically, "me?" I shook my head and averted my gaze from his."Why don't you want to look at me? Are you scared? I'm not a monster who wants to harm you. I really care about you. I will keep saying this until you accept my heart again. I Love You Olivia."My face flushed red and I hid my face with my palm. Why was he taunting me with those words? He has said this more than enough for a single day. I could hear the sound of my heartbeat. It sounded like thunder. We sat so close. I was just an inch away from him. His hands t
Ashley/ Olivia's POVAlthough I had lowered my guard against Lance a little bit, I still had some restrictions.I talked with him at surface level and did not dare divulge any much information in case I would mistakenly blurt out anything that will give me off. My days in Silvertail were numbered. I had less than two weeks to wrap up everything and leave for Oakstone. I spent more time with little Adrian when I was not training or at the warrior's base. He was such a cute little baby. He reminded me of the fact that I could not give birth to a child of my own. I had no womb to ever carry a child again. The poison destroyed everything, leaving it barren.I had gone to the warriors base earlier than any other day but I had to rush back to the pack house to get a package. I could send anyone with the soldier but decided to get it myself. I had to stop at the alpha's office first. Greg was usually not always early to his office but I heard a voice coming from inside the door as I got
"Captain!" I nearly jumped up from my seat because I was shocked for a moment as I was too engrossed in what I was drafting. Also lost in my thoughts, I did not realize someone walked in. I quickly composed myself and shot back at this intruder."Why did you not knock and wait for me to give you the permission to come in?""I'm sorry captain. I had knocked for quite a while and I did not get any answer so I barged in thinking something was wrong. I was too reckless." the warrior that had walked in said. I was at fault for not hearing him knock so I waved it off."What is it? Is there something you need to report to me?" I asked."Someone is here to see you.""Who is that?"We rarely had visitors coming to the base. The warriors' camp was not a place to come tour around except it was for a serious business so I wondered who was here to see me."Ma'am Eloise."As the name flowed out of his mouth, I did not bother to question how she got in. She had some powers in the pack making her a
Ashley/ Olivia's POVThe best time to leave Silver Tail noticed was at midnight. As a captain, I knew the in and out and where I could sneak out easily. I decided to take one tour around the house before I would leave. Lance came back to the house much early and he made dinner. He promised to specially prepare dinner for me but I did not take it to heart like I now did.His action and that of the servants this evening was as if they were either pleading I stayed behind or they were sending me off. It prompted me to begin to think if they were aware of my plans."How would they know? Are there some spirit who can read anyone's mind?" Lola kicked the thought out of my head. However, it was better to be careful so I acted like I did on every other days."I prepared your favorite so eat as much as you can." Lance said as a he dished out food for me on the dining table. The food spread out was appetizing and I ate from every of the dishes he made."How is it?" he asked, standing bes
Lance's POVI had a sweet dream but I did not know it would turn sour after I woke up. Strangely, I had the urge to be awake through the night. The pressure was much on me around midnight but I ignored, preferring to choose my sweet dream.It was morning and I woke up to go to the gym at 5am for my morning workout. A note pulled out in front of me as I opened the door.It looked like it was placed there intentionally by someone and I looked around the hall for any trace or scent of the person who had dropped it but there was none.I bent over to pick it and read the content. I did not take long to glance through the writing on the small piece of paper but my eyes widened in terror, fear and alarm as I read the writing line for line and word for words again.It read, "Dear Lance,Thank you for being there for me and taking care of me even when I pushed you to the wall. I have to go somewhere. I am sorry I can tell you much. I would love to return here but I don't know if I would be ab
Ashley/Olivia's POVI ran and refused to stop even when I was tired. I made sure to cover every track or trace of my scent even while I escaped.Lola was too tired but she refused to stop. She had been running the whole night and it was just a little past dawn."Lola, please rest a little. We are far away from Silver Tail now and so it will be hard for anyone to come for us." I said to her, trying to take the reign from her."Just a little bit more. Let me run a little bit more until I am sure we are in a safe zone." She said, still running.I felt bad for letting her do all the running. I would have done part while she continued. I do not have that much stamina as her to run for eight straight hours without stopping to rest."I just feel bad and want you to rest. I have been resting here all night while you take all the stress of running to escape on you." I said, my voice laced with concern."Don't worry about me. I will be fine." She assured me.I gave up on trying to persuade her
