Grim POVThere was something suspicuousbabout this tall tattooed man standing in front of me with a courageous poker smile. Like I could feel that he did not mean well for me. He did not even try to respect me like the others do.“Get out,” I repeated for the second time in a row.He remained there with a poker smile, like he was daring me to do my worst. My eyes scanned his face and whole body and darted to Hunter, who was watching him.I released a deep growl warning the hunter of what could happen next if he did not take this twat out of my side.“Everyone leave,” he ordered.They bow their heads and leave, including Jace. Immediately they left, and I turned to him.“Really? These are the men you brought. Men who don't obey me?” I asked."Look, I will talk to him.”I shook my head. Jace did not seem like someone they could talk to. He seemed like someone who came for a mission and would accomplish it with his last breath.“No. I want them out, especially have.”“No,” Hunter said in
Grim POV“Are you sure about what you are saying?” I ask Olivia with narrowed eyes.She nods “Yes, why do you look surprised?" She asked with a raised eyebrow. I leaned back into my chair. How do I tell her that the girl she saw in her pack was my sister? She has been in their pack for a while now, and no one knew about it. No wonder the hunter did not see her when he went looking for her.But why would she do such a thing? Hide in our enemy camp and use her power to fight us.Or could it be that he is blackmailing her?I sat up “You are sure about that; she is a witch, with green eyes and blonde hair, and has sangue per snague tattooed on her hands." I ask again for confirmation.She rolled her eyes. “Yes. You think I would make up such a story; why would I lie to you?”I shake my head. "No, love, you are not lying. The the person in question bears a striking resemblance with my younger sister, whose name is Meredith?”She raised her eyebrow. “Wait, I thought they said your sister i
Olivia POVJace? Was this jace, or maybe I was dreaming? How did he get here without getting caught? That means he delivered the letter the same day and cake the same day.I watch the way he calculatively strolls to the front and kisses my knuckles, and even though he has a smile, I know for a fact that he is angry. The way he gave my hand a tight squeeze made me flinch a little bit.I open my mouth to say something when Grim drives his fist into his hands. A gasp escapes my lips as Jace falls face-flat on the ground.Guilt over takes the surprise on my face as I watch Jace squirm on the floor. Gosh. He is Conrad's brother for crying out loud; he is not meant to be suffering. His brother sacrificed himself for me, and I would gladly do it for his brother.Grim rushes towards him, ready to drive another blow into his face, when I stop him grappling his hands. “Please let him go,” I plead.I expect Grim to free his hands from my grip and continue hitting him, but for some reason best kn
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
