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
Olivia's POV My heart began to beat rapidly. I searched his face for signs that he might be angry with me, but I didn't see any.He pulled me closer and kissed my forehead."I was planning to tell you about the outcome of the meeting with the council."I took a deep breath. I already knew that the council didn't approve of me. It was easy to imagine their bad news; I doubted they had anything nice to say to me."Well, what did they say about me?"I braced myself for the worst and listened to André speak."They said that you are young and will not be able to draw the respect of the pack members. They also heard about your school fight and were really unhappy."His hands ran through my hair, and he gave me a light smile. I blushed slightly and looked away. Of course, the council would have heard about my scuffle with those bitches. But they had it coming."Is there anything else that they said?"I was not willing to hear more at this point. I could already tell their stand when it came
Jonas' POV I stood outside with Fentris and didn't take kindly to the old man. His putting on airs frustrated me. He looked at me with a grin and spoke."It is finally great to meet the face behind the name," He thrusted his hand forward for a handshake, but I ignored it. I wasn't in the mood for pleasantries."Yeah, yeah, whatever. Now, what do you want? If Nicole told you about me, then it had better be important."My eyes narrowed down on him, but his grin didn't relent."I see. You like to get down to business. That is a very exciting trait. I admire that in a man."I growled. Was he joking with me?"Are we talking about something or not?"“Yes, we are. Nicole was able to contact me. I had a little job that I wanted her to help me with, but she said that she is out of town and that you can help."I folded my hands and glowered at him. He seemed suspicious."Keep talking. If it is within my capacity, I think I can help. Looking at all of you, I can tell that you all are weak."The
Olivia's POV "Again!"I ran the course all over again at lightning speed and stopped at the finish line, panting, with my hands on my knees. Sephora looked at me and gave me a single nod. That was probably all the praise I would get from her. I rolled my eyes as she turned her back and walked away, and Grayson walked up to me instead. "You are getting much better at the training drills. You have improved significantly and in such a short amount of time."I felt my lips curl into a smile; Grayson always knew what to say to encourage me, unlike his associate, stone-faced Sephora. "How about you try your transformation again? It was a bit slower last time. Let me see if there has been a significant speed improvement."I nod and take a few steps back. I closed my eyes and focused all my lupine energy, merging my strength and body with Nima's. I could feel her energy bubbling inside me, and then it exploded out. I stood before Grayson in my wolf form, my golden fur flowing around me.M
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.“Lu
Olivia’s POVDear André,If you are getting this, I am probably in jail or maybe on the brink of death. I got my idiot step-brother to write this. God, I hate the bastard.I don't know how long before they decide that it's time to end my life but I've been doing a lot thinking and I regret what I did.As I sit here in this cell, all I can think about are the good times we had. The laughs, the jokes. I can't believe I threw that all away because I wanted a throne that would never be given to me.I sit here and all I can think about is Amelia. Her beautiful face, her soft breasts, her sweet kisses. What I wouldn't give to be with her at this moment. It is now I realize that she is everything I needed.It is crazy how the stench of death makes one ponder about his life and truly appreciate the things we have. Tell her that I love her, that I have always loved her. I wanted the best for her but now, I will never taste her lips again.Apologize to Olivia for me. I planned to take her as a
Olivia's POVThe mansion was a hive of activity. I stood at the door and watched André. He had barely gotten a good night's sleep. My fever had happened a few times but it felt selfish to ask him to have sex with me."You know that you don't need to hide at the door."I saw Sephora standing behind me and I blushed."I just don't want to bother him.""I'm positive that he would love to see you." I turned around and saw André looking at me with a smile. My light shade of pink turned a deep scarlet and Sephora gave me a gentle nudge.André had put down his phone and the worry lines on his forehead disappeared."Well, are you going to keep standing at the door peeping at me? I heard it is rude to stare." I turned around. Sephora had gone and I was all alone.I walked into the room and André grabbed me and pulled me into a tight embrace.His lips warmed my cheek and forehead and I sank deeper into his embrace."I missed you, mate.–" He nuzzled his nose into my hair and took a deep brea
Doran's POVI wasn't sure how long I was in the cell. The night here seemed to last forever. The sun rose but its light never made it to the window that was miserably placed in my cell. The rats scurried around me and nibbled at my toes and clothes. My stomach growled monstrously and my hair and face were a mess. I was more than a shadow of my old self. I spent many nights thinking, brooding, about the good times I had with André. Amelia... She was probably ashamed and angry at me. I craved her embrace, her fingers on my back. At this point, it was the equivalent of heaven. It was where I wanted to be. The door creaked open and four men walked into the cell. What were they doing here? My brother had already come in here last night. Or was it this morning?"Doran, today is the day of your trial. Please come with us." My eyes widened. It... It couldn't be. It... It was too early. It wasn't time. "No. No. No! It can't be!" They opened my cell and seized the opportunity. However,
Doran's POVI scoffed. I had spent more nights than necessary in this lousy place. I turned the corner and some maids scurried past me with their heads held low. I shook my head. I couldn't wait to get the fuck out of here. André, I am coming for you. My knuckles cracked as I clenched them, hate and rage bubbling in my mind. The men were supposed to move out today. André wouldn't know what hit him and soon, Olivia would be mine and my brothers wouldn't dare to look at me with such disrespect ever again. I reached my father's study and found the door ajar. Strange; he never left the door open. A dim light was pouring out from inside. Maybe he was inside but then again, there were no guards at the door. I pushed it open and went inside. My father's chair was turned around and I could see a dark silhouette of him sitting as he faced the dimly lit fireplace. "Good morning, Father. Are the men ready for the move? I believe that time is of the essence." My words were met with silen
Olivia's POV The meeting was soon over and Fentris was the first to leave. I smirked. I had trained hard with Alvida to be able to release my powers in small amounts. The last two days had been rigorous.We all left the meeting last and entered a private room. André asked two guards to stand at the door and we all stood around the table."That was a successful meeting," Sephora said with a sigh.André exhaled deeply. His arms were folded across his chest."It is too early to conclude. I saw Fentris and how uncomfortable he was. Our victory will start if he buys it and relays the information to his boss." I tried my best to hold back my smirk but soon all heads were turned to me, except Alvida and Sephora who acted coolly."Is there a problem, Olivia?" Pierre asked, looking concerned."Oh. Nothing. I just thought to tell you all that Fentris swallowed everything that we said, hook, line and sinker." André looked at me in shock."Olivia? What did you do?" I looked at him innocently
André’s POVI stood in the mirror and looked at myself over. I couldn't believe I was going to face those old bastards again. I envisioned Fentris' face and the urge to strangle him flared inside of me. "I love seeing you in a tie." Olivia strode up to me and fiddled with my tie, adjusting it and placing it in the center, even though I knew she didn't need to. I smiled and kissed her forehead. My hand ran over her stomach and our baby kicked back in response. She was all dressed for the meeting as well even though I asked her to take the time off and rest. I ran my hands through her hair and she leaned into my touch and beamed at me. "Are you sure that you don't want to stay and rest? A foot massage will be much better than listening to the council."She chuckled and smoothed my shirt. "I agreed to stay away if there was a war. I want to stay and listen to the meeting. I want to see Fentris as well."I exhaled. That traitor was going to pay as soon as all this was over. I swor
Olivia's POVI was up early. This wasn't the night I was expecting to have in my home as soon as I got back. I rolled over in bed. André's space was empty but still warm. He had gotten up a few minutes ago. A sigh escaped my lips. He was probably in his study. I heard him say something like that to Pierre earlier. I looked out the window. It was still dark out and the cool breeze was blowing and howling outside. I grabbed my robe that hung on the chair and draped myself. I was just as worried as he was about this plan. If it didn't work, we could all be in danger. My baby, our baby could be in danger. The lights in the hallway were all dim and I saw a dim light coming from his study. My guess was right and as I eased the door open, I saw him on the chair with books open in front of him. "Hey," I said softly and he raised his eyes from his book and gave me a weary smile. "You should be resting," he said, gently. "And so should you. But here you are." I walked towards him and h
