Olivia's POV
I woke up early, and I turned over to find that André's side of the bed was empty.
I rubbed my eyes sleepily and sat up. Where did he disappear to this time?
I was just about to step out of bed when I heard a loud knock at the door, which made me stumble and trip, and my feet were still entangled in the bed sheets.
"Who is it?" I said as I clamored to my feet and checked to make sure that I was all right.
"Miss Olivia? Are you a
Olivia's POVThe bedroom door opened with a creek, and I immediately knew it was."André?"I turned around and saw André standing near the door.I broke into a smile and immediately turned to continue what I was doing while I spoke to him."I am so glad you are here. I told Pierre to make sure that we have enough supplies. I also made sure to get a medical kit this time in case of any injuries we might sustain. I also didn't know what to pack, so
Olivia's POV"Olivia, I need you to stop yelling and listen."I watched him in horror as he reached into his pockets and pulled out his phone."He unlocked it and began to flip through the apps. He finally reached his email, opened one, and showed me to read."Olivia, I am only concerned about you. I sent an email to the research institute two days ago, giving them a 3-day ultimatum to come up with a temporary solution to your unusual symptoms and fever. We can't stop every few minutes to have sex just so that we can get your symptoms down. If you are even
André's POVIt didn't take long before a maid knocked on our bedroom door.I opened it, and she told us that the research team was ready to meet me."Good. I will be in my study; tell them to meet me there."The maid bowed and left, and I was alone with Olivia.I pulled her close and kissed her forehead tenderly."I am going to have a meeting with th
Olivia's POV"I...I am...a descendant of Selene?"I still couldn't comprehend what the scientists were saying. What were they talking about? I was just Olivia. I was as regular as any werewolf. There was no way that I was a descendant of the Moon Goddess. Shouldn't I have been able to tell that there was something mystical or magical about me? It was the Moon Goddess we were talking about here."we assume that you are. You are a rare breed of wolf if the legends and myths that we heard are true."André slammed his hand on the table, and the lid noise nearl
Jonas' POVIt had been two days, and I noticed the relative hustle and bustle amongst André's men. Every day, I noticed the increased influx of people coming in and out of the mansion. His assistant, Pierre, seemed very busy, and I could see him carrying a large stack of books to and from his car for the last two days.I left my room and decided to take a walk outside. I noticed a soldier standing near the front gate, and I casually walked to him, whistling a non-existent tune.I bumped into him and he veered forward angrily and was about to curse me."Son
André's POVHe sat so comfortably in my chair, twirling his cigarette around his finger. I wanted more than anything to punch his face and shove that cigarette up into his nostrils. He had gotten on my nerves and had stretched my patience out thin.I placed my hands firmly on the table and glowered at him. His relaxed expression irritated me. He didn't seem to be scared at all. He was a fool. He should be terrified."I know that you are lying, Jonas. I am not going to fall for your little game. You are sick and twisted, and you are a fraud. Olivia thought so highly of you, but I honestly don't even know what she sees in you. And Olivia has nothing to do
André's POVI spent the rest of my morning pacing around anxiously in my office, waiting for the research team to come.Hearing that they had possibly found a solution to Olivia's symptoms put me on edge. What if the tests prove negative for Olivia? What if they harmed her? What if they didn't work at all? All that work, effort, and time would be for nothing. And I would have to keep Olivia here even longer, and that would make her even more upset.I tried not to be negative, but worry continued to knock at the door of my mind. I didn't want anything to happen to Olivia and our child. This clinical trial was a big risk that we were taking. I was even mo
Olivia's POVI was sitting in my room alone when André came in.He looked at me with wide-open eyes and gasped in fright."Olivia, what happened to you?"Before I could say anything, he rushed to my side, sat down beside me, and gently cupped my face in his palms. His eyes washed over me, and he gently patted my hands and face."Olivia, what is wrong? Why do you look so pale? Your eyes are sunken in, and you look so weak."
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
