OLIVIA’s POVI have been looking forward to my 18th birthday since I was 15, mainly because I wanted to escape from my uncle’s house. The thought of my 18th birthday kept me going because if I am lucky, I will meet my mate. Now that I am no longer in my uncle’s house, I do not know how I feel about it. Today is my birthday, I am officially an adult, but it does not excite me anymore. Alpha Damon has been avoiding me too, he doesn’t want to see me, and each time I go to see him, he sends me back to my room. I thought today would be the happiest day of my life but it’s no fun when Alpha Damon treats me with so much coldness. I hate his attitude toward me but there is nothing I can do about it. I never knew he would have so much effect on me. “Happy Birthday, Olivia” Zania’s voice brought me back to reality. I sighed and passed her a smile. She’d probably be the only person that would wish me a happy birthday today. My uncle and his family have never celebrated my birthday before,
OLIVIA’s POV‘There is no need to keep you around, Olivia’ Those words kept playing in my ears in an unhealthy manner. I tried to process what he just said to me from another angle that would be in my favor, but his words were too clear, perplexing me for over a minute. “I only kept you here for my sake and our agreement has expired,” Alpha Damon pronounced, throwing me off guard with his sudden coldness towards me. I thought that he would never show me this side of him that people talk about and fear, but I was wrong. The look on his face right now screams irritation and a burning anger that he does not want to let out just yet. “I advise you to go out there and search for your mate. It’s high time you left because I don’t want to be seeing you around here anymore. It will make Hazel uncomfortable,” he added. For the first time in my life, I felt my heart shatter. I stumbled backward as Alpha Damon pushed me out of the way and left with his supposed mate.Just within two months
OLIVIA’s POV My lips quivered as I stared at the physician in shock, unable to say anything. If I am truly pregnant, how am I supposed to cope? What am I going to do with an unwanted pregnancy when I have no one to take care of me? “From the look on your face, I guess you are just finding out that you are pregnant,” the physician said, looking at me while I shook my head. “You should know,” he informed, “that if you decide to keep this pregnancy, society will brand you as a rogue whore and disregard you. People like you will be avoided, and you are too young to be a mother at your age.” I held my hands together under the table as my mind wandered to so many things while I was trying to hold back my tears. Alpha Damon is happy with his mate. Will he believe me if I inform him of my pregnancy? Or will he tell me to get rid of it? “And if you still want to keep the pregnancy, I will advise you to let the father know. It might make it easier for you,” the physician added and my shou
My lips quivered as the security grabbed me roughly, yanking me to my feet with a firm grip on my arms. Before I could regain my balance, they shoved me backward, making me stumble.I teetered on the edge of falling, but someone thankfully supported me. My baby would have been in danger if I had fallen terribly.“Olivia?” I heard a familiar voice, but I was too perplexed to turn back and by the time I did, I saw Zania standing right behind me with a surprised expression on her face.“Please don’t come back here. You are no longer the Alpha’s mistress, and we also have no reason to treat you with respect,” the security reminded me. It’s okay to choose his mate over me since the mate bond can’t be severed, but what about our baby? Shouldn’t he have at least given me the chance to tell him about it? “Are you okay?” Zania asked as she turned me around to face her. I felt awful and the feeling of abandonment settled in the pit of my stomach.I was angry and blamed myself for thinking that
DAMONI woke up to the weight on my hurting arm. Right beside me was Hazel placing her head on my arm while she was sleeping. I groaned and pushed her away as I sat down on the bed with a scowl on my face. She turned around and smiled the moment her eyes met mine. “A beautiful morning to you, Damon,” she greeted. I got out of bed, trying all I could to restrain myself from dragging her out of my bed and out of my room. “I told you not to crawl into my bed when I am already asleep. Do you want me to repeat that I don’t like it when people come into my room without my permission?” I polled. Like I expected, she shrugged her shoulders and laughed. Her laughter was one of the most annoying sounds I have ever heard and if I could, I would stop her from laughing like a maniac, but right now, there is nothing I can do other than to watch her. “You should stop saying that, Damon. What will people say if you keep saying that you don’t want your mate in your bedroom? I am your Luna, rememb
OLIVIATWO MONTHS LATERI dropped the bucket in my hand as I rushed to get Aria, who was crying. I picked my baby girl in my hand and cooed her to stop her from crying, but she wouldn’t. I bit my lips and slowly sat down to breastfeed her. She just woke up from sleep so she is hungry and needs to be fed. The second she started sucking on it, she stopped crying immediately. I sighed, turning to look at Aiden and Asher, her brothers who were thankfully still sleeping. These past two months have not been easy, with me trying to take care of three kids at the same time while also working to provide for us. And when they all decide to wake up with cries, I have to pause my work to take care of them first, like right now. “What the hell are you doing sitting down, Olivia? Do you think that you are here to relax?” my boss asked, startling me with his presence. I was praying not to get caught today, but I guess I couldn’t avoid it. I sprang up on my feet, holding Aria close to me. “I am
DAMONThree years on>>>I dropped the papers in my hand and sat down on the chair, picking up the cup of water on the table. The past three years have been a nightmare; living with Hazel and also with Olivia’s disappearance. These past years, I have searched for her everywhere in the entire pack, but it seems she vanished into thin air. No single news about her, nothing! Her family does not care if she is dead or alive and I feel guilty knowing that she left because of me when I promised to protect her. I want to see her, to know how she is doing, to see how grown has become. She is no longer the teenager I lived with anymore since she will be turning 22 in a month. I long for her presence. I can’t even tell if she is doing fine, wherever she is or not. I took Hazel’s conduct for three years for good health. Now that I am all healed, there is no reason for me to keep her with me anymore. It’s high time I got rid of her. Everyone complains about her antics, she does as she please
OLIVIAI dropped the papers on the table, grabbed a drink, and gulped it down my throat before taking a seat. Funny how three years passed by in a blur after giving birth to my triplets. It’s been three years of formidable survival, three years of working, learning, and taking care of my kids. I worked myself up to be where I am today and I am grateful I decided to learn something new years back. As I picked up the papers again with the intent to get back to work, my assistant pushed open the door to my small study, revealing herself “You got over fifteen meeting requests today, Miss Hunter. Should I prepare an appointment with them?” Kate asked. I relaxed on my back and creased my forehead in exhaustion. “Right now, I am juggling multiple cases.” I can’t take more for now, please” I implored. Three years ago, everyone looked down on me for being a rogue whore, for getting pregnant without a mate. People insulted, harassed, and denied me opportunities and work. But right now, I
OLIVIAI took a deep breath and adjusted the mask on my face as I stood in front of the tower. My eyes roamed around the huge and mighty securities and I subconsciously snickered. It has been years, but it still felt like everything happened yesterday. I remember being thrown out and pushed around by these same people who are now bowing right in front of me as a welcome to the same tower I was sent away from. I know they acted on instructions, but they could have treated me better. “Miss Hunter?” my eyes moved up the seconds my name escaped one of the securities’ mouths. “Yes, I am here to see the Alpha,” I said without missing a tone. There was no need for me to. “Please, come with me. He has been waiting for you,” he answered, motioning me to enter the tower. I took a deep breath, hoping to steady my heart as it pounded wildly in my chest, betraying me with every beat. I was wearing a mask, and that was supposed to be my armor tonight. He wouldn’t know me. He wouldn’t see past
OLIVIAThe sweet relief of the cool evening breeze caressed my skin. I could feel the gentle prickles of goosebumps as the breeze raised the fine hairs on my arm. I closed my eyes, letting the soothing sensation wash over me, and I felt my worries drift away in the breeze. “Are you sure you are okay with going out without your mask?” Kate asked. I shrugged my shoulders, walking as steadily as I could. “It's evening. I bet no one will recognize me,” I inferred. Although it wasn’t late in the evening, anyone would find it difficult to recognize me and even if they did, they wouldn’t find out about my identity as the mysterious and popular young lady who is currently a hot topic in the pack. It is important to choose a special day for such an announcement. That way, I will get to see the reactions on their faces when they know who I am. “Did you get the name of the place?” I inquired. Kate slightly bobbed her head, turning her attention to me. I am working on a case of a pup who we
