André's POV"I feel different, André."Olivia lay on her side in bed and faced me. My arms were wrapped around her, and her bedclothes were on. Her blue eyes brought a coolness to my heart, and her sweet antics made me smile.“Different, how?"I brushed her hair away from her face to get a better look at her pretty features. She was a perfect work of art. My work of art.She placed her hand on my chest and remained silent for a while. Then, her lips spread into a smile even wider."I can feel you. It feels so raw and overwhelming. I can feel your heartbeat and your breathing. I can feel the blood coursing through your veins as if it were my own body. I feel connected to you."Her voice was soft. Her hands slid down my chest and found my hands and our fingers clasped together."I feel the same way, Princess. I can feel your anger, joy, and sadness. I can feel those instances when you are so embarrassed and you blush. The feeling is so intense."She leaned into me and planted a kiss on m
André's POV "You are late, Alpha André."Councilor Gregor stood up and scolded me lightly, but I adjusted my tie and cufflinks."I am here, aren't I? Have you all talked about the important stuff without me?""How can we? The Alpha needs to be present." I looked at my wristwatch."Well, by the looks of it. I am only ten minutes late. We can still get a lot done if we start now."I turned to look at Doran, and he looked relieved. I could tell that he had been bearing the heat from them before I came in.There was a large ripple in the hall, and discomfort filled the air. I could tell they were bothered and were looking for someone bold enough to say whatever they wanted to say to me directly.Finally, Councilor Maximus stood up and gave a polite bow."Alpha André, we called you here today to talk about your mate, the former Luna's daughter.–"I exhaled angrily. I should have known it. Of course, they called me here to talk about her."We are all a bit concerned about her and the futur
Olivia's POVI woke up from sleep to a knock at my door. I rubbed my eyes sleepily and looked around. André had gone to his meeting, but he still wasn't back.The knocking came again, and I was roused to get up from bed and answer the door.I opened it, and a maid stood there. She smiled sweetly at me as I rubbed my eyes."Miss Olivia, I am sorry to wake you up, but your presence is needed downstairs."My eyes went agog. Why? What was going on?I tried to ask more questions, but the maid hurried away to do something else. I said nothing and got dressed. Whatever I was being called for had better be something good. I was famished.I went downstairs and saw two tall, athletic people seemingly waiting for me. I looked closer and saw that they were a middle-aged man and a woman with a pixie haircut.They were clad in tough leather armour and stood at attention as they had been in the military. My heart leapt into my throat as I approached them, but they gave me a courteous bow that made me
André POVAll the council members had left, and only Doran and I remained. He sat beside me, and I turned my attention to him."Well, that went better than I expected. I actually thought that the council was going to go berserk on you."I chuckled."They all seem to have a lot of respect for Fentris and follow whatever that bastard tells them. Now that he has been exposed, they think more sensibly."We laughed at Fentris's expression when everyone heard that he had brought Nicole into the pack. It was a picture-perfect moment; nothing would have been better than capturing it, putting it in a frame, and hanging it on my wall.The laughter soon died down, and Dorian looked at me solemnly."But seriously, André. Do you really think that Olivia can live up to what is expected of her? The council was swayed, but they didn't seem very convinced. Olivia is still very young, and she is quite immature."I stopped him right there with a glare. He held his words and looked at me nervously."Is th
André's POVWe arrived at the border and saw the carnage that Nicole's little rescuer had caused. I glanced at some of the benches, and I could see border patrol officers nursing each other's injuries and wrapping bandages around mangled cuts and wounds.Whoever did this and was able to do it single-handedly must have been someone really powerful. It seemed impossible for one man to take on an entire platoon of border security soldiers.I felt Pierre invade my mind with the telepathic link."Forgive my intrusion, Alpha, but this looks very familiar to what Jonas did to me and my men when we ambushed him at the convenience store. He seemed very much able to take on all our men."I looked at the carnage again and saw that the description of the injuries that the men received seemed identical to the ones Jonas had inflicted on them the day he tried to resist them at the convenience store."That son of a bitch! He did this!" I hissed angrily.I should have known from the beginning that he
Jonas' POVI had my hands on the wheel and was zooming forward at a blazing speed. I frequently checked my side mirrors to see if those bastards were in pursuit. I had encountered their kind before, and it was because of people like them that I had lost my first quarry.My new passenger was seated beside me, and she looked at me in horror. Her eyes were wide open, and she backed up fearfully against the door. I scoffed and kept driving. We will talk soon enough.After a few more minutes, I was certain that I wasn't being chased, so I pulled over and stopped the car near the dead end of an old road."Well, that was some entanglement that you got yourself in with border security. You are lucky that I was on your tail. You could have been back on your way to that Alpha that you despise so much."Nicole was silent for a second and then exclaimed loudly."Who the fuck are you?! Why did you save me?!"I chuckled and took off my mask, revealing my face and doing my best to arrange my ruffled
André's POV When I got back home, I sniffed the air. It smelt different. My brow furrowed in confusion and worry. Olivia's scent was pronounced, but I could tell that she wasn't alone.Jonas!My heart thumped in my chest, and I raced in the direction of her scent. If that bastard was anywhere close to my Kitten, I was going to rip him limb from limb.I ran to the garden, and I stopped dead in my tracks. I glared at my kitten, and beside her was the Councilor's son, Jaxon.I glared at him and stood up straight. I strode to my kitten, completely ignored her, and turned my sights on her 'friend'."I can see that you managed to find your way back here again."His dark eyes had glints of subtle ferocity as he stared back at me."I was just about to leave. I just wanted to check on Olivia and know if she was okay and ask if she needed help catching up on school work."I glared at Olivia, but she stared at me silently and looked worried. I felt how overbearing I was and decided to tone it do
Olivia's POVI enjoyed listening to him moan. I watched him enjoy the way I slurped on his cock. His hands would come up to my head to guide me on the depth or just hold me down so that he could feel me a bit longer.I slapped his hand away and looked at him with seductive command."No touching. Unless, of course, you want me to stop."His face scrunched up. I was tormenting him with pleasure, and it was evident in his every moan."God, Olivia! What have you been up to?!"I went deeper on his cock and watched him tense up in pleasure."Don't stop," he groaned."Beg me not to," I said huskily."Please don't stop Olivia."I smiled and put my mouth to work on his cock again. Part of me felt happy that I had taken charge of the hotel room. It was a rare sight seeing André like this, begging me for more and groaning my name while I sucked on him."I want you to come for me."I sucked him harder and faster. My mouth diving and resurfacing on his dick. His fists clenched the sheets and pulled
Hannah's POV Epilogue. I sat outside at the picnic table with the gentle wind whipping through my hair. It felt wonderful.Autumn was drawing close, and the leaves on the trees were already turning a beautiful orange.I heard the giggles of children playing. I smiled warmly.My children.Jasper ran around, and his little sister chased after him. Their delightful giggles filled the air and brought smiles to my face.“Jasper, be careful. Your sister might not be able to keep you with you." He slowed down a little bit and his sister caught up with him. He embraced her and she smiled and played with his hair.“Hello, beautiful." I felt two big, strong arms wrap around me, and I was enveloped with warmth and love.I raised my head, and a kiss was gently planted on my lips.André lowered himself beside me, and we watched our beautiful children prance around the garden.“It's getting a bit chilly. You should come inside." André ran his hand seductively over mine. I bit my lower lip and
Olivia's POV "This isn't going to be too tight around my stomach, is it? I want the baby to be comfortable.”The maids shook their heads and continued to fuss over the dress.“You look beautiful, Luna Olivia. I am sure the Alpha is going to love it.”I was nervous as they put the finishing touches on the dress.“All done.”They stepped away, and I twirled in the mirror. The dress was beautiful, embroidered with intricate silk moon designs that were trimmed in gold.“The Alpha also asked me to give this to you as a gift.”One of the maids stepped forward with a beautiful velvet box in her hands.I took it from her, and my hands trembled slightly.I opened the box, and inside it was a beautiful gold necklace with a jeweled pendant. The maids all squealed in delight, and one of them offered to fasten it around my neck.I touched it gently as the maid fastened it, and I could feel my heart swelling with love for André. It wasn't difficult to tell that the necklace was very expensive.“L
Olivia's POV We spent a little longer in Elvis Pine. André was helping Hailey with the reconstruction efforts.It was beautiful watching Elvis Pine grow into something beautiful.Hailey asked for my permission to change the House of Reiss’ insignia to the Solvan Empire insignia.She did it as a tribute to my mother and me, and I gave my approval and blessings.It felt like pieces of my people were coming back to life again.She rebuilt her family home and initiated a rebuilding project of my parents’ old house.“I remember it quite well. I think the blueprint is still in the pack archives. I want to rebuild it the same way it was all those years ago. My family took yours, and I want to give a piece of it back.”Those were her words, and they brought tears to my eyes.During the time we spent in Elvis Pine, André went to the Lycan Empire and spoke to Doran's people. He wanted to prevent another war with them because of Doran's death.He had been gone for a few days, during which time
Olivia's POV I woke up in bed. My eyes hurt, and so did my head. I was covered in bruises that were healing slowly.The light from the sun on a new day bathed my face. I wasn't sure how long I had been out. But I was certain that I had been asleep for longer than a day.I took a deep breath.It was over. I still couldn't believe it. We had won, but at what cost? I sniffed the air. I wasn't the only injured person. I could still smell the blood of our other injured comrades, and their groans made it to my ears.Every time I blinked, I could see the carnage that was on the battlefield. The dead bodies and wolves. The blood of our unique race had been wasted.Jonas.I don't remember how he died, but when I woke up, I saw him unconscious at Doran's feet. It still baffled me. It was a shock that he had been the mastermind behind all of this.He…he was a Lycan. I never thought he was. I never saw it in him. I hadn't heard about them before but I was certain that they were a powerful spec
André's POV I watched in shock and awe as Doran spilled his guts.“I am the Heir of the Lycian Empire of the Sacred Moon. I was cast out and denied my birthright because of my wolf. I looked nothing like a Lycan. I looked like a regular wolf shifter. I was mocked and scorned…”I was stunned. Doran was a Lycan. A Lycan Prince?"...I was adopted and raised in André's pack. They knew of my heritage and made sure that I never forgot my roots. I befriended André, and by growing up together, I became his Beta. After my adoptive parents passed away, I realized that it was time I took my place as Prince of the Empire…”“…I thought that I would start small. I felt that once André was too tired to rule since he was without an heir, he would pass the Pack leadership over to me. But then, Olivia came into the picture.”I saw him grit his teeth in anger. Even under control, he was still in control of his emotions.“I hoped that I would be able to get rid of her. I sent her those notes but André f
André's POV It happened so fast. The sound of polished metal cutting through flesh. Blood sprayed all over Doran. It was over quickly.Jonas was dead His head was in Doran's hand, and his body remained kneeling for a while before it fell to the ground with a thud like a felled tree.I was in shock. His head still has its eyes open,bl staring into my soul from the pits of hell and mirroring complete fear.“Doran?" Doran cast the head aside and wiped his blade on Jonas' clothes.“Well, I think we are done here. We have won, André. We won the war." He tried to step towards me, but I stepped back.I turned my head. “Olivia?!”She was unconscious at the foot of a broken tree. I dashed to her side and stood beside her. My fingers grazed her cheek. She was still breathing. Her face was still warm and full of color. I was relieved. She was going to be okay."Olivia?”I called her name but she didn't stir. I feared the worst. I called her name louder and shook her a little harder.She sti
André's POV The battle was bloody and ferocious.That snake, Jonas, had my pack surrounded long before I got to the battlefield. I have tried to reason with him, but he was hell-bent on choosing violence and throwing the life of his men away all because of a woman that he would never have.The war broke out and there was bloodshed everywhere. A wolf charged at me and in mere seconds, I shifted into my black wolf and smacked him hard with my paw. He yelped in pain, and I grabbed him in my jaws and flung him across the grass, spilling his blood into the soil. I searched among the fighting wolves for that snake, but I couldn't find him anywhere. His men were focused on killing me, and they swarmed me like bees, but I defeated them in seconds. I felt a pair of claws sinking into my right flank, and I howled in pain. Ragnar became enraged, and in a split second, I faced my assailant and growled mercilessly at him.I clawed his face and gouged out his eye.The socket was left empty, an
Olivia's POV "André...""Olivia, what are you doing here? You need to hide. I told the nurse to hide you.”André was dressed and ready. He knew leaving our room would make him an instant target. “Andre, I can't let you go alone. I want to come along. I want to help you. Please let me…”He pulled me in and kissed me deeply. As his lips pressed against mine, tears streamed down my face.“Olivia, I can't explain how much I love you, and I would kill myself if anything happened to you. I want you to be safe, for me and our child. I need you to hide.“but André…”“I promise I'll come back to you.”The nurse walked up to me, took my arm, and André disentangled himself from my embrace.He walked away and didn't look back while the nurse dragged me into our room.“Miss Olivia, we have to go. We must hurry to the secret bunker Miss Hailey told us about. You can't be here.”“But Andre…”“Your beloved will be fine. We must hurry. Miss Hailey is waiting for us.”I was reluctant, but I allowed t
Olivia's POV I could hear the howling of wolves, sending shivers down my spine. I had been transferred to a different place in the Raiden Pack. André had formed an alliance with them, and they had also joined in the fight. I couldn't see what was happening, but the cries, screams, and howls were excruciating.Each time, I would wonder if one of them belonged to André.Alvida had been moved with me and she had been at my side all day. She watched me like a hawk and did her best to assure me that everything was going to be alright.I didn't trust what she said.“I need some water," I said weakly.She nodded and left the room. This was my chance. It was a crusty plan, but it was all I could think of.As soon as the door clicked shut, I got out of bed and jumped out of the window.It wasn't a long fall but I timed it just right and shifted into my wolf at the last second and landed firmly on my paws.I didn't waste a second and sprinted to the battlefield. I could hear Alvida calling o
