Olivia POVThe moon goddess sent me here without granting my request. A deep frown laced my face as I saw the faces of the unwelcoming people in my life.Magna stood there with something that looked like a smile. While Hunter and Grim had a deep frown on their faces.“I said who is Conrad!” He shouted, hitting his fist by the bedside making me flinch.He is not asking me how I feel or if i am okay. He is only concerned about the name I mumbled in my sleep. “I am asking you a question. Who is Conrad!” He thundered again.Everything in me was screaming ‘He is my lover and he is a better man than you ‘ but instead I said “He is my brother! My late brother! Are you happy now!” I screamed back.A deep growl erupted from the depth of his chest, a deep frown on his face. “Don't you dare raise your voice at me!”I raised an eyebrow and sat up, ignoring the pain in my body. I turned to him, looking him in the eye, “Why?”He narrowed his eyes to a split “I would take it that you are still reco
Grim’s POV“Bluffing Beast” I muttered for the sixth time since I left her room.“What?” Hunter asked. We were walking to my office.I shook my head “Nothing. I was just thinking about something” “Something that involves you muttering a bluffing beast. Who is the bluffing-” he halted on his track, his eyes widened and an annoying smile crept on it.“She .. Olivia called you a bluffing beast?” He asked his eyes widened.The frown on my face deepened, that was all the clue he needed. He burst into uncontrollable laughter. “Can we go?” I asked immediately and he stopped laughing.More reason why I hate this man I call my best friend. He never missed an opportunity to mock me. Something others can never do.He shook his head and started laughing again “No. Why would I? The moon goddess decided to bless you with a stubborn woman as a mate. You both have the same personality. For once, you have someone to tell you no other than me. I am beginning to like this girl” “Well, I made sure I in
Grim POV“This might lead to chaos amongst us, Grim. Why would you leave Dean there? If he died you can't be the Alpha” Hunter said immediately I came out of the hell hole with blood dripping out of my mouth.“I can, you know I can. Without him, there would be no opposition. Do you get it? The people have always loved me and they will continue to do so” I assured him.He shrugged “Aegon's anger against you would grow. So will the witches. Just bring him out and-I halted in my steps and turned to him, my hands on my waist. “ Can you hear yourself? I should bring him out. What were they expecting when they threw Olivia inside there, that I would come back and welcome them with a smile and bow before them? They made Olivia suffer, they also need to experience the pain too”He scoffed and tilted his head sideways. “Oh please we both know you don't give a damn about that girl. I thought you did but the way you threatened her, it showed you don't care. So drop that. You are doing this beca
Olivia POV“Argh!” I shouted as I held my head. I could hear multiple voices in my head and the blood continued to flow from every hole on my face.What the hell was happening to me. Lia burst into the room together with Grim and Hunter. Grim rushed to me and held me.My first instinct was to flinch but then immediately he touched me. I saw something scary, a huge beast howling in a forest filled with dead bodies.He walked around them. Sniffing their bodies then started eating them cracking the bones, the beast turned into a hybrid wolf, his silver eyes shining through the night.He let out a loud cry and turned into Grim. Grim sat on the floor and looked around with despair in his face.“Olivia, are you okay? Should I call the witch back?” He asked.I snapped out of what is saw and shook my head “I'm fine”He narrowed his eyes to a split and scanned my face “You don't look okay. There is blood all over you, even your sheets are soaked”Was I fine? No. I was going crazy, could not un
Grim POVI hardly ever saw something as a punishment but what I am going through right now was a great punishment.I was trying all I could to forget Theresa, to deceive myself that I was alright even though I was not alright.Her smile occasionally came to my mind but what was more frustrating was that It was replaced by Olivia’s smile and for what it was worth I didn't want to get attached to Olivia.I am just using her as a means to an end and after that, I would send her to her pack or kill he if she is still interested in dying.“Grim! Where the hell have you been” Hunter asked as he barged into my room. I quickly hid Theresa’s photo at my back.“Well, as you can see I am in my room. What is it?” I asked him and stood up as he walked to me, panting heavily.I furrowed my eyebrows “Why are you panting and sweating so much at this time of the day?” I asked.“We need to go. Aegon moved your mother’s body from the mutuary. He said they should throw her into the sea or somewhere. I d
Grim POV“Fuck!” I mutter, hitting my steering wheel. I try to talk to Hunter again, but he is silent. Like silent. Hunter is never silent. He tries to communicate in the best way he can, even if he is on the verge of death. He still whispers.His silence is not a gold solution, and then I have Olivia. I can't imagine how much torture she would be going through with Aegon’s men.I mean, she just escaped death during the trials, and now her life is in danger again.Maybe she was right. I am just a bluffing beast. I can't protect my close ones.Wait a minute, die. I just say closed one. I shake my head again. I can't protect the ones I have an obligation to.Impatience wears into my skin; Dean's car is behind mine, and I think Aegon's car is at the back of it. Well, in all I do. I need to make sure I get there before them. I increase my speed limit, swerving off any vehicle on my way.I hear the sound of the engine at the back as Dean moves ahead of me.“What the hell! This is not good
Olivia POV He is going to choose Theresa; I knew immediately he stopped when he saw her corpse on the ground. I felt a pang in my heart as minutes passed. She was his one true love after all, and I was a spare. His heartbeat increased as he released a carnivorous growl, silence filled the air “Send her ashes to her mother,” he said and walked away. My body froze. Did he choose me? Could it be that I mattered to him after all, or was this another dream? He walked towards his car and carefully placed me in the back seat before turning around and driving to the palace. Immediately he climbed down, and Magna rushed to him. “Tell me you chose my daughter,” she said, her voice dripping with fear and anticipation. “No, I took Olivia, but I asked Hunter to try all he can to save her body,” he said in a tight tone. I could feel his hesitation; he would never want to hurt her. “Grim..what if she does not come back?" Why would you leave her there all to Aegon? You left her and she was ki
Olivia POV Dear Olivia My brother had always been my savior, my role model, and I looked up to him more than I do to everyone. And I knew how much love he had for you. The way he starred at you when you were not looking. The way he watched out for you or how he skipped meals anytime you announced you were getting married. He loved you desperately. We got the news of his death. My mother had been a mess since then, crying nonstop, and I know you must be doing the same. I am sorry that you have to be with them as a slave, even with what they did to you and my brother. Therefore, I am telling you to be patient; I will soon come and rescue you from that monster called Grim and his brother Dean,make them pay for what they did to you. In the mean time, I would want you to do something for me. I want you to get close to Grim and learn everything about him. When I mean everything, I mean every since detail, and if possible, learn his routine. With you by my side, we would bring the w
Derek POVChills ran through my spine as I watched my dad walk towards me with a smile; he had changed from his pyjamas he was wearing to a black short, white shirt, and a brown palm. And he was looking way more healthy than he was; he wore a creepy smile that only stayed on his lips and did not reach his eyes.“Dad?” I called out again.He ignored me and walked to where Charles was sitting. Charles immediately got up and assisted him to sit while he stood by his side like his right-hand man. Just the same way I usually stood beside him during meetings as his heir.“Dad, what the hell is happening here? Why do they have us at gunpoint, and why are you not doing anything?” I asked.He leaned back. “You see these boys around you. They are working at my orders and no one else's, he said.My eyes widened as I stared at the clone I once called my father. How did we go from having a good father and son relationship to him asking people to kill me? “You see, I knew you were just like your m
Grim POVI shoved the letter into my pocket, wore a black turtleneck to accompany the black trousers I was putting on, and walked away. Anger boiling within me as I walked towards my car. Can't I have a week to myself? Can't they just leave me alone for a week?Many scary thoughts ran across my mind as I imagined what Daemon would be doing to Olivia by now. Gosh, she has already suffered enough already, attempted death twice, and all because I was not there to help. Now that I am with her, by her side, I would rather die than allow that to happen to her.I drove my car towards the pack palace, readying the whole pack to fund her. How did they get into the room without my notice?Immediately I stepped outside, Magna and Becky rushed to me, their faces carrying deep frowns on them. “Grim, my son, where have you been? I have been looking for you.” Magna said her eyes filled with worry, and for a moment I wanted to give in to her motherly warmth. The one I was used to, but my mind raced
Olivia POVI opened my eyes to meet total darkness. Quite cold darkness. The type of darkness that would make you helpless and lonely because you know you can't fight. You just have to wait for light to come or drown in the suffocating darkness.But…where the hell is this place? The last thing I remember is sleeping in Grim’s bed, wrapped in his arms. So where was the place?“Grim...Grim,” I tried to call out, but no sound came out from my lips. A frown crept on my face as I wondered what had happened to my voice.“Grim...” I called again but still was unable to make a sound. God, please let it not be someone who has seized my voice to stop me from talking.My palms became sweaty, my hands trembling as I struggled to breathe. I shook my face only to find out that I had been blindfolded. What the hell was happening? Could it be that this was a grim trick this morning? This better not be a trick because I would cut him alive for making me scared like this.But then again, Grim was not t
Grim POVI kissed Olivia’s head as she lay on my chest, with my arms wrapped around her waist. She was sleeping peacefully, not knowing what she was doing to me or to my body. I can't imagine I was finally happy. Happinesses seemed so far to me.But whatever I was experiencing right now was a contented joy. That she was mine finally, she would be thinking about me and not that dead guy called Conrad. Funny how I hate him with all my might even though I have never met him.A bang on the door interrupted my thoughts; Olivia shakes a little bit, mumbling some words in her sleep. Who the hell could that be? I made sure no one knew where you were.I carefully laid Olivia on the other side of the bed and put her purple teddy bear beside her. So that she would not notice my absence.Taking a glance at her, I walked to the door. Hunter walked in immediately with a deep frown on his face.“What are you doing here?” I asked, raising my eyebrow.He ignored me and took a chair. “I have been tryin
Olivia POV “So tell me. What would you have done if you were not a prince? If you were just a normal wolf with a normal family?" I asked, watching him as he ate his food. He has finished spoon-feeding me and decided to eat his own meal. He stopped eating and dropped his spoon on his plate. He stares at me for a while, searching for answers in my face. He shrugged, “I don't know. I never had a normal life. I don't even know what a normal life is,” he said, picking up his spoon to continue eating in silence. Guilt mixed with self-pity washed me as I looked at him eating his food hungrily. He was a fast eater. I could not imagine myself living with this type of life. With this type of toxic home. My parents were not that good, but at least it was not as toxic as his own. “The last time I checked, staring at someone is considered creepy,” he said with a smile, looking at me. My cheeks reddened. “Is not creepy. Beside, I was not staring; I was admiring you,” I replied. He ch
Olivia POV Pain cloaked my heart as I watched him leave. His words echoed in my head, joining the lutinary voice echoing in my head. Voices of my dad, my mom, Alpha Killian, my sister, and now Grim. All saying the same words, you will never be enough. Tears rolled freely from my eyes as the painful realization stuck me. I was too caught up in the emotions. He made me feel good. He was just like Alpha Killian. They would make me feel good, make me feel loved, and fuck me only to tell me I meant nothing to them. I would never mean anything to them. I had no worth. I was worthless. Pain squeezed my chest. I closed my eyes to push the thought, but they kept on running to me. Keep on coming to me. I stood up and let out a loud scream as I fell into the bathtub again. Gosh, I let him fuck me like a cheap proustite now I can't work. “Liv.Are you okay?” He asked me to scan my face. He must have heard my scream. I pushed the pain behind me and glared at him, my eyes bloodshot red. “I am
Olivia POVThe squeaking of the bird by my windowside woke me up, and a delicious smell hit my nostrils like someone was cooking.My hands subconsciously roamed my bedside to see if Derek was there, but he was not. He must be the one cooking. I sighed heavily and closed my eyes, wanting to go back to sleep. I could still feel very sore all over me. To think that I woke up in the night and lured Grim into having sex with me. Now I can't move without pain. How can he be this rough?I smiled broadly as I remembered what had happened yesterday. I came to her thinking it was just a date, not knowing that Derek had all this planned out for me.Derek walked in wearing a smile on his handsome face and carrying a cup of coffee. He was putting on gray sweatpants. He smiled and walked up to me, placing a soft kiss on my lips as he placed the cup of coffee down.“Good morning, sunshine,” he said with a smile. His smile quickly vanished from his face, replaced by a concerned look. His eyes scanne
Grim POV I have never been this comfortable before, not even with Theresa. No one had made my heart race as much as she did. No one's presence brought me as much peace as her presence did. It was surprising, though, that I was falling for an omega. I could feel her smile when I told her I liked her. I knew the emotions were stronger than like, but I had to name it that way. I have not yet come to terms with how I felt about her. I wanted to enjoy this moment with her; I really wanted to. But with her naked body pressed against my body, it was hard, really hard. My wolf has been growling loudly, expressing his desire to want her, to mark her, to claim her. She turned sideways so that her back was facing her buttocks pressed against my throbbing erection. A gasp escaped her lips immediately; she felt my groin. She moved her body a little bit, teasing my groin. "Liv,” I groaned loudly, closing my eyes as she sent raw desires down my spine. I kept on avoiding our mating ceremony b
Olivia POV I lay beside Grim, my hands caressing his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. He has been quiet after then, not saying anything, just savouring the moment. I stayed there for a while. A shy smile crossed my lips. Never in my wildest dream did I imagine that I would one day be with Grim, lying on his bed caressing his chest. The same man who promised my death, the same man whom I hated with all my heart and soul. The same man who made me attempt suicide three times, and yet here we were wrapped in each other's arms. But I still knew nothing about him. He knew a lot about me. I am sure he must have done his research and found out what he wanted about me. But I knew nothing about him except from the fact that he was a hybrid and his favourite colour was black and blue. I cleared my throat. “What's my favourite food?” I asked. He cleared his throat. “You don't have a favourite food ife. You like hamburgers, you love Mac and cheese, and you love French fries. I know y
