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
Olivia's POV I had gone back to reading the book I picked up on pregnancy. However, my mind couldn’t help but go back to André and Lillian running. I huffed and was about to get out of bed when I heard the door click open."... hurry and send more. We are almost out. I am not taking any chances." He walked in and was on the phone. As soon as he saw me with a scowl, he ended the call and walked up to me with a smile on his face. He tried to kiss me, but I backed away in anger.His smile turned to a smirk, and in a few seconds, I was pinned to the bed and was struggling helplessly while he knelt above me, smiling."I take it that you didn't sleep so well." I turned my head away."I slept fine, but you weren't in bed with me." He lowered his face and kissed my cheek tenderly."I had to make an important call. I didn't want to wake you up, so I left. Then I decided to go for a run after." He tried to kiss me again, but I pushed him away while glaring at him. “A run, huh? And who w
Olivia’s POVAndré didn't seem too happy but was reluctant to go to the door. The way he grabbed me tight showed that he'd rather fuck me than go to the door.The knocking came again, and I sat upright and looked at Andre with a plea in my eyes."We should see who's at the door. It could be important."André growled reluctantly, and I kissed him on the cheek."Fine. But it better be important."We both got dressed as fast as we could. I pulled a robe over my naked body, but André insisted on wearing some shorts.I could already tell that he was upset. I didn't think that it was a good idea to suggest that he wear something else.Knock! Knock! Knock!The knocking came again, and André and I went to the door together. We opened, and I gasped in fright. I pulled the robe closer to my chest and turned pink in embarrassment."J... Jonas, it's you. Good morning." I turned my face away, and my heart began to beat wildly. How long had he been standing outside our door? Did he hear everything
Andre’s POVWe left the room. Olivia was still clutching my arm tightly. I could still feel the eyes all over her as we walked out.I wrapped my arm around her waist defensively and clutched the paper in my hands. It was still very strange that they kept detailed records of Olivia's father. Something wasn't right.We were finally alone, and Olivia eased up a little."I think we should go and look for Papa. We have the coordinates. There is nothing left for us to do today. I think I'd rather go out than spend another second with Jonas' family." I smiled at Olivia and planted a kiss on her forehead."I couldn't agree with you more. Also, thank you." She blushed a light pink and looked up at me. Her eyes were confused, and she looked simply adorable."Thank you? For what?" "For standing up for me and taking my feelings into account when Jonas came. It means a lot to me."I kissed her forehead, but my body gave in, and I pulled her in close and covered her lips with a wet kiss. When I
Olivia’s POVWe slowed down, and André told me that Jonas had given a signal. This was one of the coordinate points that Jonas had given us.My legs felt like jelly, and my nerves were a mess. Something about this place was unsettling. It was highly unlikely that we would find my father's killers at our first stop, but still, we were here.We got out, and André held me tight. Our guards stood behind us protectively, and I felt beads of sweat on my forehead. Why was I this tense?Before we could take a step, Jonas' two men rushed inside. In a few minutes, there was a ruckus, and people were yelling and running about inside."Where is the owner?! Where is he?!" I was compelled to dash inside, but André held me back. I knew that Jonas was the prince here, but he didn't have to be so brash."Don't move, Olivia. I know that you want to help, but we are strangers. The last thing we need is to draw more attention to ourselves." André's voice was calm and emotionless. I, on the other hand,
Olivia's POV The woman's admiration soon turned to fear and she looked like she regretted divulging that information."Oh no, no, no." She quickly picked up the bed sheets and was about to scurry away, but I grabbed her arm and held her back."Wait. Where are you going?" She pulled her arm free from my grasp and made a run for it. I dashed after her and blocked her path."Where are you going? I need answers." "Stay away from me! I can't speak of any of this!" She turned the other way and dashed down the hallway. She had to be a werewolf. There was no way that a human could run that fast.I picked up the pace and ran after her. It was like searching for treasure in a maze. Twisting and turning through the hallways and only catching slight glimpses of her as she turned the corners."Hey! Stop! I need to talk to you!" I turned a corner, and it was a dead end. I was panting from exhaustion. Who was this lady, and what did she know about me? Who was she working for? And what did she
Olivia’s POV“If you want to know more, I will take you to a place,” the woman started, but I was already shaking my head before she could continue. “If there’s anything you know, you should tell me now.” Although she looked weak, I couldn’t leave here with a stranger. “If we really must go, you would have to follow our team.”The woman’s eyes widened into saucers. “No…no…” “I can’t leave here in a grand way. If I do, I will never see another day.” Seeing the fear in her eyes made me worried and I looked around. “I, Ophena, worked my whole life for your family. It’s fine if you don’t trust me, but if I die, there will be no one to wipe their grave when the weather changes.” As tears rolled down her eyes, pity gripped my heart, and I nodded. “How far is this place?” I finally asked. “Well, if we pass the back route, we should be there in half an hour. I often walk the entire distance since I sneak out only at night. But today…” After listening to her detailed explanation of h
André's POV"Did you ever meet a man named Kyle Grey in this inn? I don't have a physical description, but the staff told me he frequents here."The old lady shook her head."No. I'm sorry. I have lived in the inn for years. My son pays for the room every month. I am certain that I would have heard of a man with that name if he was here frequently."I nodded and thanked the old lady, and she disappeared into her room. This was the sixtieth door on this floor, and there was still no positive reply. Each shaking head reminded me that I should have asked Olivia if she had a picture of her father along with her. It would have helped to jog people's memories.There was only one last room on this floor, and I was more than ready to meet another dead end.Soon, I heard the sound of footsteps running around. What was going on up there?However, the footsteps stopped eventually, and there was silence as if nothing happened in the first place.I moved to the last room and knocked.Silence. Wasn
