Olivia's POVWe pulled up together in front of a very fancy and exotic restaurant. The bright lights made the scenery look like something out of a fantasy story. I was dazzled by the beauty and the expensively dressed customers who walked in and out of the establishment. "I never knew that a place like this existed in the pack," I told André, not taking my eyes off the beautiful restaurant. I could hear him chuckle lightly. It was easy to tell that he was amused by my surprise. "I know that you've not had so much time to explore this place even though you have been staying here for almost six months now."I turned and smiled naughtily at André. "And I wonder who's fault that is? Probably a certain over-protective someone who wouldn't seem too happy seeing me around other men."I couldn't resist throwing a playful jab at André, and he smiled and threw one back."Maybe if another certain someone had probably asked, she would have gotten to see here, and I would have taken her with me
André's POV I was studying with Doran, and my phone was on my ear. I wanted to get an update on Nicole's whereabouts.The line soon connected, and Pierre's voice filled my ears."Good morning, Alpha. How are...""Any progress so far on Nicole's location?""Uhmm... Yes, Sir."I heard the rustling of paper and the clicking of keys on a keyboard, and finally, Pierre spoke."We have been able to lock down her last location, which was a restaurant in the neighbouring city, but that is it. We haven't been able to track her phone; it seems she has a new one along with a new SIM. Nicole couldn't have had the initiative to know that we can't track her if she gets a new device, and so it leads us to believe that she has some help."I growled lowly. This wasn't the news that I was expecting. I was hoping that we had closed in on her location and all we had to do was get a squad to pick her up."Any other news, Pierre?""Yes, sir. But I doubt you will like it any more than this one."I sighed. I
André's POVI paced frantically in front of Olivia's ward. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my wolf was howling in agony. I felt a part of me had been ripped out. The mate bond was still not repaired. I still couldn't feel Olivia. I couldn't even think straight; every fiber in my body worried about her. Was she dead? Was she alive? What happened to her? Questions bombarded me from all sides, and I didn't have an answer to any of them. I had looked at the ward door multiple times, but nothing had happened. Through the frosted glass, I could only see faint outlines of people walking around her carrying different things.People had walked in and out of the ward, and whenever I tried to ask what was going on, I got the same response: a slow head shake that dampened my spirits.I was in complete disarray; all I could do was ask Selene to protect my Princess. It felt like an eternity, and my heart was starting to throb again. Finally, the door creaked open, and a doctor stepped out
Olivia's POV I was weak and confused. The last place I found myself was in the training room, and now I was in a hospital with beeping devices, cords, and tubes attached to me.I tried to move, but I was pushed back gently by a nurse.“Hey, you need to relax. You just woke up. Don't try to move your body. You are going to be okay."I gave a little nod, but moving, my body ached. My head was throbbing, and I was scared. I wanted André. I wanted to know what was going on."My head hurts,” I groaned softly.The nurse stroked my hair."You were unconscious. Your head is going to hurt a little bit as your body tries to balance itself. You will be fine. You just need to rest.”“André…”My voice was weak, and I could barely speak. I was lucky that the nurse was such a good listener.“He is standing outside. I will bring him in if you are well enough to see him.”I was able to sit up, but every movement was agony."I want to see him. Please.”The nurse nodded and left the ward. After a few m
André's POV I walked out of the room in search of the doctor. I was still trying to understand everything that had happened, and I was still stunned to find out that Olivia was pregnant.My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I took it out. It was a text from the research institute.I clicked it and saw that there was a file attachment. I opened that as well, and I saw the test results that they had done on Olivia, which confirmed that she was pregnant.I sighed and shook my head. Clearly, they already knew.I called the head of the research institute and stood quietly in the corridor, waiting for him to pick up the phone.Finally, the call connected, and a deep voice filled my head.“Good morning."“Good morning, Alpha. We sent the test results, and we are proud to tell you that the…”"The Luna is pregnant. Yes, I am well aware. We are in the hospital right now. We found out before I saw the text.”I cut the doctor off. I didn't want to dwell on the news anymore. I was still trying to get
Olivia's POVI was back home, and I was up late. André was in his study attending to some work, and I was in our bed reading. I had a book about the pack’s history open in front of me, and I was reading it carefully. Sephora and Grayson had stopped my training in the meantime and had encouraged me to prepare mentally to face the women’s council.I was a little upset. I really enjoyed my training sessions with them, but there was nothing that I could do. I was a little glad since I was able to give Nima a break. Transforming in and out of my wolf was very energy-consuming, and Sephora told me that after the first three months, I wouldn't be able to shift at all because of the baby in my system. So, I only had a narrow window of three months to impress the council. Nima was unhappy about all of this, and she howled in protest.“I can't believe that I'm going to be trapped in here for nine months."She was thoroughly exasperated, and it made me giggle.“You heard what the trainers said
André's POVI lay beside my beautiful woman, watching her breathe slowly and taking in her scent. She was perfect.My cock throbbed a little, and when I grasped it, a sharp pleasurable sensation shot through my body. I groaned and took my hand off it.I turned to look at Olivia and saw that she was falling asleep. Her skin felt sticky with all the sweat and love juices.“Princess, wake up. Let me get you cleaned first."“Huh?"Her eyes were drooping, and she looked so cute as I tried to get her to stand up so that she could have a bath. I carried her to the bathroom and placed her in the tub. She barely flinched and continued to rest in my arms.I ran her a warm bath, and as she slept, I cleaned her. The scent of hot, steamy sex ebbed away and was replaced by the scent of jasmine and rosemary.“André…”She mumbled my name sleepily but didn't wake up. She was simply adorable.I finished washing her up and dabbed her dry with a towel. I never realised how light she was. I could pick her
André's POV“Fuck you! Get your hands off me! How dare you?! I am your Luna! Fuck off!”I stood in the dark and damp basement, waiting. I could hear her voice screaming as they brought her down here. I was waiting for her. I stood near the only source of light available: a dim candle.The screaming and struggling drew closer and closer, and I braced myself to meet her.The men came in and threw her on the floor in front of me.“Oufff!"She groaned in pain and tried to figure out where she was. She had a sack over her head, and all she could probably see was pitch black, except for the candle’s bright glow.The men grabbed her again and forced her on her knees. She struggled and tried to beat them away, but her hands were tied.I walked up to her and yanked the sack off her head. She blinked hard as she saw the room she was in for the first time.“André?!""Hello, Nicole.”My voice was expressionless and cold. She looked around the room, but she couldn't figure out where she was.“What
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
