Olivia POV. Warmth gushes within me as I watch Grim walk away. A smile tugs at my lip. It is the first genuine smile that tugs at my lips after Conrad’s death, and my daydreaming of my mate caused it. Grim, the beastly hybrid. What the hell is happening to me? Well, I can’t blame myself for the warm sensation that flooded me. He had pecked me—not an aggressive one or out of duty, but a soft, patient one. I had captured his heart, not fully, but I could say I am two steps closer to earning his respect and possibly his love, if it was meant for someone like me. Lia was right. He needed a support system. Someone to be on his side. I did not miss the pleasure-able smile that tugged at his lips when I called him Alpha or said Team Grim. I sit on my bed and hug myself. Lia had been called and had gone out. After a while, someone knocked on the door—two maids. “Grim sent us to pack your clothes and other things,” the maid said, bowing their heads. “Okay,” I said with a welcoming s
Olivia's POVGrim was a scary beast but Aegon. Aegon was a cunning snake. I could tell, from the way he behaved. The way he had carefully trapped me with my secret. He was not someone to play with.He wanted Grim's downfall yet Grim called him uncle. How do I get out of this tough situation without any trouble?I was like someone trapped between a hungry lion and a cobra. Both of them had their consequences.Grim would kill me if I betrayed him but Aegon would make Grim kill me if double-crossed him.After he left I sank into my bed and heaved a sigh, trying to find out what to do when I heard a knock on the door.“Come in” I answered maybe it was Lia.A woman in her late thirties entered with a creepy smile. A smile that lets you know, I am not someone to mess with.“Who are you?” I asked as I stood up.“I am a makeup Artist. Aegon sent me” she introduced herself.I nodded, so she was the makeup artist. Without my permission, she dropped her bag on my bed. Her eyes scanned the room f
Olivia POV“Who are you going to choose?” Lia asked with a food-filled mouth. She was sitting on her bed eating the little bread they gave them.I didn't have the time to have breakfast this morning besides I had zero appetite in me.I shrugged “I don't know”Her eyes widened “What do you mean you do not know. You chose Grim's side over anybody's side” she advised.“You think I don't know that. But Aegon has Conrad's necklace with him. What do you want me to do?”“To choose your mate” she snapped and choked on her food. I quickly handed her a glass of water. She took it in a gulp.“Sorry maybe you should-“ No. You are not going anywhere until you promise me that you will be on Grim’s side”“But-”“No buts. Do you know what they call him? They call him the hybrid beast, he eats heart Olivia, fucking heart and you think you can double-cross him”“But he is going to hate him if he finds out about Conrad”, I say in a low voice.Why the hell would the moon goddess put me in such a terribl
Grim POV“Are you sure he has something good to offer? Because I can't be wasting my time on him” I asked Hunter for the fourth time today.I had to leave the pack today because Hunter had suggested we give Alpha Damien a chance. He claimed to have information that would help me bring Alpha Killian on his knees.And one of my greatest wishes was to bring Alpha Killian to his knees for what he did to my family. To make him beg while I pour wolf bane on his shredded skin.He nods “Yes, let's just hear what he wants to say. And side note, please don't do something stupid” he warns glaring at me.I roll my eyes, if being stupid meant ripping his heart out of his chest then I would gladly do it if the fucker did not have any use to me.Immediately our jet hits the ground on Damien’s pack. His men rush toward us, some of them cowering in fear as they take our luggage.His men drive us to his house, and make us comfortable while we wait for him. My eyes scan through the building, dissatisfac
Olivia POVI wasn't locked up in a prison, I knew what prisons were made of. They had iron bars and windows for ventilation. But I was locked up, in a hole.A hole without a window, only one entrance which was the roof, it had a slimy floor everything was sticky and I could hear a drop of water from afar.That did not frighten me, I had gone through a worse scenario during my stay in combat. What frightened me was the total, unending darkness.It made me feel blind, feel powerless and it was a feeling I had vowed to never feel again.I was already sweating out of no ventilation. I touched the wall and flinched immediately, sharp pain jolted through my body. The walls had wolfsbane on them.What an easy way to die. I sat in the middle of the floor, trying to push away the memories that came with darkness.The door opened and a ladder was thrust down for the person to climb in. My heart fastened with excitement.Maybe it was Grim. Maybe he had come to save me. “Grim?” I called out.My f
Grim POV “She is dying, the wolfbane was too much,” Maga announced after checking her body. I narrowed my eyes “Wolfsbane? Did she try to commit suicide again?” I asked. I thought she had given up on committing suicide. She did not look like someone ready to die anytime soon. My eyes darted to her pale-looking body. Intense worry gripped my heart. I could not help but feel guilty about how I have treated her. Maybe if I was a little bit kind to her this would have never happened. Gosh! I would have stayed not to leave her on the day of the trial to be at the mercy of that coward who calls himself my brother and Aegon. Magan shook her head “They locked her in the hell hole” “What? Who?” I growled, my eyes turning red. Hellholes were meant for people who committed serious offenses. Like betrayal or treason. No someone who stabbed someone while trying to protect herself. “Aegon asked them to throw her in there,” Magna informed as she recounted what happened. From how she
Olivia’s POV “Liv, Olivia” someone called my name from afar. I looked around for the person but could not see anyone. Instead, I was in total darkness. “It's me,” a deep male voice said. I narrowed my eyes to the direction the voice came from. My eyes widened in surprise “Conrad!” I exclaimed and ran to hug him, tightly with my whole being. My heart danced in joy. Can this be true or am I dreaming? I pulled back and caressed his face “Is this real? Is this you? Is it just a dream?” I asked. He chuckled “It's me liv,” he said and wrapped his arms around my waist, pressing my body to his own. “I have missed you” he whispers against my face. “Me too. You would have let me pay for the consequences of my actions. You would have been alive and not-” Wait? If he was dead and I could see him, I could hug him. It meant. Oh no “Am I..am I dead?” I asked. His eyes softened “Yes. I think so. Only the dead can see this place” he told me. Tears welled up in my eyes. I covered my mo
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
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
