André’s POVI was up early the next morning, and my beautiful mate was still fast asleep. Her gorgeous locks fell over her face, and the urge to push them away and swoop on her succulent lips nearly overwhelmed me.She took a deep breath and sunk deeper into the covers. A smile crept on her face, and I began to wonder what she was dreaming about.I finally decided to leave her and head into the shower. It was still quite early, and the sun had barely gone over the horizon.I grabbed my bag and found my gear.I put them on and headed out as quietly as I could, blowing my beautiful sleeping mate a kiss as I closed the door to our room. I was glad to see that the guards were still posted in the corridor, and they had kept to the rotations and had been watching all night.One of them gave me a head shake; there was no suspicious activity all night while we slept. I was content, so I headed to the front desk. The receptionist was slightly startled, but as soon as she saw me, she relaxed
André's POV The first guard made the first move. It was an attack from the back, and I surprised myself with how quickly I whipped around and countered the right hook coming to the side of my head.I held the guard's fist in my open palm, and we were stuck in a deadlock for a while until I overpowered him and hurled him across the room.The other guards gasped and they hesitated for a while. Then suddenly, as if they all spoke to each other at once, they all came rushing towards me, closing in on me and shrinking the circle rapidly by the seconds. I blocked a barrage of hits, kicks, and punches. I could tell that my men were putting in their best efforts but I was faster and stronger.I was stunned by how effortlessly I dodged and the strength in my punches and kicks was frightening. I took all of them to the ground in barely a few seconds.Some strong and determined ones didn't stay on the ground for too long and got back to their feet to continue fighting me.As the fight first wen
Olivia’s POVI couldn't remember when exactly I woke up but I felt my eyes flutter open briefly and then close. In those few seconds, I noticed that André's space was empty but I was too tired to do anything about it.My eyes sprung open again and this time, I saw André in our room, already dressed and smiling at me."Good morning, my queen." He leaned towards me and gave me a steamy kiss on my lips.When he finally pulled away, my cheeks were a bright red."Andre, I have morning breath. I'm filthy."He smirked and lowered his head towards my ear."I wasn't complaining, kitten. Besides, I love filthy."His husky and seductive words made shivers run down my spine.He kissed me again and I groaned against his lips.When I finally sat up, I noticed the steamy breakfast lying on my bedside table, the neatly packed suitcases, and a lovely dress spread out on the bed."What's all this?" I asked André with eyes full of surprise.It was then that I noticed the smile and joy on André's face
Olivia’s POVThe question struck me in the bone. I had never really thought about it. The people that killed my father were cruel, and they deserved death, but I never really thought that I would be the one to exact that vengeance. Would I even be able to do it? Would I even be able to take another's life just because he took that of someone else I loved?“Olivia?”André was still staring at me. This solemnity in his eyes had changed to concern, and he reached out and held my hands tenderly."You don't have to think about it. We will know once we...""No, André. I should have thought about it before we went on the journey. Now that you've mentioned it, I don't know what I would do, but I'm certain that they will not go free if we find them. They will have to pay for taking my father away from me."André gave a stiff nod, and we finished up our breakfast in relative silence. Awkwardness hung in the air between us, and I could feel that André regretted asking me that question.However,
Olivia’s POVThere was silence in the car, and we continued to drive. I snuggled close to André and watched Pierre and Sephora. She seemed closed and distant, but Pierre was doing his best to engage her in a few discussions."So, what hobbies do you engage in outside of physical combat?" "I have none. My job is to guard the Alpha and Luna and train the Luna." Pierre chuckled nervously."Speaking of training. You were really good in your sparring match with the Alpha." Immediately Pierre said those words, she became taunt and crumbled."I should never have thought that I could take on the Alpha of the pack. Forgive me, Alpha."She turned around and managed a bow. Pierre looked at her in shock while André and I looked at her in confusion."Come off it, Sephora. It is nothing. However, I was considering a change of plans." All eyes turned to André, and curiosity hung like a cloud."I think that we should stay at Jonas' house for the day." Everyone gasped at the change of plans. I w
Olivia POVWhen I woke up, I realised that we were slowing down. I sat up and saw that the fleet of cars in front of us had stopped."It seems that we are finally here," André said with a disapproving tone in his voice.It didn't take long for the cars to begin moving again, and we passed through a pair of wide golden gates. I felt my anger for Jonas spark again. I still couldn't believe that he kept his true identity a secret from me. He never said anything about him being a rich Prince.I huffed and leaned backwards into the car, folding my arms in annoyance and trying not to look impressed.André, on the other hand, looked sceptical. His hands found mine, and he squeezed them tightly and protectively.We were still driving for a while, and after about ten minutes, we pulled up in front of a large and lavish mansion.I was astounded. I knew that Jonas was rich but I didn't think that he was this rich. His house was like a castle and was draped in expensive white and gold.I didn't
André's POV Finally, dinner was over, and I couldn't explain how happy I was that I had left the table.The entire time, I had to sit with Olivia and keep an eye on everyone at the table. The men still stared at her, but they were a little more respectful than they had been earlier.But nevertheless, my mate was still uncomfortable. She was barely able to get any food down her throat and I had to get a maid to bring some food to her room.I put her to bed and then tip-toed out of the room. I went to Pierre's room and found Sephora there with him. I had told them to meet me here after dinner."How is Olivia, Alpha," Sephora asked, slightly worried.I sighed and filed my arms across my chest."She will be fine. She just needs some rest. Dinner could have been worse. Jonas' family are weird and creepy.""I agree.""Me too," said Pierre.I stole a glance at the pair. Sephora seemed more relaxed around Pierre. I could tell that she wasn't always in guard mode when she was around him.Even
Olivia I woke up the next day and the birds were singing beautifully. I didn't even seem to remember the unpleasantness of the day before. The air was cool, and the bed felt very comfy. Although I had felt uncomfortable here the day before, the journey had also taken a toll on me. I turned to my side and frowned. André wasn't here. Where did he go this time?Without wasting any second, I jumped out of bed and checked the balcony and bathroom. After confirming that he wasn’t there, I pulled on a loose pants and top and headed out of the room. The plan was to check in with Pierre, but the corridor was filled with André’s scent, so I simply followed it. Like a pack at home, Jonas’s pack was huge, but unlike André, who had his mansion to himself, they had what was more like a palace for their family and maybe some extended family. It was impossible for me to know how it worked, but I could tell that they had many people here who weren’t just servants. Also, the palace was huge, spa
