Olivia POV Warmth rush through my skin as he gets closer, his intoxicating masculine scent fill my nostrils, sending a strange sensation between my thighs, my heart race trying to jump out of my rib cage The air can be on, I can feel the cold on me but this closure makes it hard for me to feel anything. He is too close, just too close for my liking and what I hate the most is how my body is reacting, like it likes his touch. I try to put the blame on the mate bond that the Moon goddess gave us but this is different. It is the first time I am willing to get wet, the first time my nipple is reacting to someone's presence even before he touched me. At a point I thought I had lost my sex drive due to my past. I don't even feel this way when conard touched me. He runs a finger down my neck, my breathing seized for a moment. My heart smells filling the room. What the hell. “Grim” I call in a weak voice. Fuck! It was meant to come out as a warning and here it is coming out as a whis
Olivia POV“What?” I ask as my eyebrow deepens into a frown. “Can you hear what you are saying? Derek does not even know Jace,” I said.I knew Derek wanted Grim dead, and so did Jace. But I don't think he would want revenge so badly that he would join hands with his Alpha Killian who killed his sister.She nods her head. “I am serious, Liv. In fact, Derek is in the palace clinic, where they are taking care of him. I promise you that I am saying the truth.” I scan her eyes to see if she is lying, but she looks deadly serious. Iheaved a sigh. The only way to find out is if I visit him and see him with Derek. Maybe I will confront him and ask him to go back. Vengeance is only useful if you are alive to complete it. He is already in Grim's bad book, and once he does anything stupid, Grim would not hesitate to rip his heart out.I turn to Lia. “Let's go and see him. Pretend that you never heard him speaking with Derek. Maybe WD can persuade him to leave the pack. Okay?” I ask. She nods ca
Grim POVImmediately I dropped Olivia in the place. I immediately drove back to the training ground where Hunter was. I know Olivia had told me not to worry about Jace but I still had this gut instinct that something was wrong with him. Olivia might have thought that she had been able to fool me but I know for sure that Jace is not Lia's brother. I could see fear in her eyes as she looked at him, like she knew him or like he was going to bring trouble to her.I parked my car and strolled towards the field to meet them doing push ups. My eyes scanned the crowd for him but he was nowhere to be found. Where the hell could he have gone to. My plan was to personally take him to and make my boys force the truth out of him.Hunter walked towards me panting heavily “What's up?” He asked.I ignored him, my eyes searching round “Where is jace?” I asked.“I took him to the palace clinic” he said with a sharp tone.I turned to him with a glare “What?” I asked.He nodded “You heard me Grim I took
Grim POV“He is her what?” I asked again, just to be a little bit clear.“He is her husband,” the hunter said, carrying a serious tone.I shook my head. No, this can't be. I ran a background check on her; she has been left at the altar twice, and that was all. There was no marriage conducted. “Are you sure? I mean, what if it's a lie? I mean, we both did our research on her, and she was never married.”"Look, Grum, you're literally my brother. Why the hell do you think I would lie to you? She is married to him. They did a secret wedding, and I later found out that was why when he said he wanted to join us, I let him so that I could know if he was lying, and you saw Olivia's reaction when she saw him. Come to think of it, why the hell would he behave so rudely to you? Its because he feels you took what he is meant to have,” he said.My mind flashed back to how he acted when he first met me—how he said he kissed Olivia's knuckles. Gosh, I would have known something was definitely wro
Grim POVGrowing up, I have been told that love is the only emotion that can make one weak and destroy someone completely, and I took that advice and carried it wherever I went. So much so that I never let anyone in, like really into me. Not my mother, not Hunter, not Meredith, and not even Theresa. I loved them, but I had a large detachment for them. I knew they were not going to be by my side always; no one has actually been.Sometimes my mother looks at me with the eyes and says, ‘You are the biggest mistake of my life.' Maybe if she had not given birth to me, she would have eventually moved from my dad and not had to bear the names they called her.Hunter, on the other hand, sometimes used my legitimacy against me, even when I tried to tell him that his dad was not that good. He pointed it to me to shut the hell up; I don't know about parental love. My dad sees me as a tool and not a son. A tool for destruction.With time, I got used to it. So much so that neither my father's sho
Olivia POVHis eyes flash with deep hurt. He looked so heartbroken, and for a minute I wished I had never told him. It is clear that he loves Hunter to the core, and at the beginning I thought Hunter loved him. I wonder why he changed towards him. What did Jace tell him that made him turn against his best friend?Grim brushes his hair roughly, his skin getting red. He passed around for a while before turning to me.He walks up to me in a calculated way, like he is going to fall if he makes a mistake. His eyes bore into skin, his fingers brush my cheek, and he raises my head to look at him. The betrayal in his eyes is replaced with anger.“Don't lie to me, Olivia, is this true?” He asks in a deep fear voice that sends cold chills down my spine.I nod, “Yes. Is it true?” I say.He scans my face; his eyes roam around my face, drinking in every inch of me like I am his last piece of cake. His eyes drop to my lips; he stares at my lips; his eyes darken with desire. Then he turns away.“I d
Oliva's pov. “Have you discussed your parents liv?” Conrad, my boyfriend, asked for the third time this week. I heaved a sigh. I have been avoiding this topic because I don't know how my parents would react to the news of my engagement or wedding. To other parents, it would be a blessing, but to mine, it would be another avenue to remind me of how useless I was as an omega. "No, but I promise to tell them this evening at dinner,” I replied softly, trying to hide my uneasiness. “Okay, if you won't be uncomfortable, I can tell them myself; at least it would spare you all their insults and shouts,” he said, trying to calm me down. He knew how my parents maltreated me at home; in fact, I am sure the whole Oro pack knew about the Omega, whose greatest enemy were her parents. A sad smile tugged at my lips. “Don't worry about it. I can handle them,” I assured him. “Okay, I have to go and attend to something. I will call you back later. Bye, I love you.” “I love you too,” I w
Olivia POV.“What was that?” Lia asked immediately as I stepped out.She must have heard a lot. “How long were you standing there?” I ignored her questions.“Long enough to know that you called your sister a whore and your father a dickhead.”I shrugged. “Well, you came late. You would have been there when my father said I was useless, when my sister said I am not part of the family, and when my mother called me a by-product. All because I told them I am getting married to Conrad,” I replied as I climbed my bike.A gasp escaped her lip; she watched me for a while before climbing her own. She had packed her bike close to mine.“I'm sorry about that; I can talk to them to accept him,” she said as she wore her helmet.I shook my head. “No need,” I said with finality in my tone.Immediately we were done; we drove straight to the palace. In the midst of all this commotion, I was thankful to the moon goddess for one reason, and that was Lilia.She had stood by me even after she found out th
