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
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
