Olivia's POV My dreams were foggy, and all I could see was buzzing like a broken television.I tried to move my arms, but I couldn't. My legs, as well, felt stiff. What was wrong with me? Was I paralysed? Was I drugged? I tried to scream, but no sound came out of my mouth. The fear continued to engulf me. Somehow, my body had stopped working.I tried to stick out my tongue. However, an invisible barrier blocked it.What? What was this?My tongue continued to poke around, and I felt the dry and coarse material. It didn't take long for me to figure out that it was a cloth. Somebody had gagged!The shock of it all caused my eyes to fling open. I stared around, but the darkness persisted; I had never woken up from my dreams.No, I couldn't panic. I had to calm down.I closed my eyes and focused some of my lupine energy, and my sight was slightly better in the dark. My legs were tied with a thick rope while my hands were bound behind my back. I tried to sit up but bumped my head on some
André’s POV I tried my best to control my anger. My kitten’s disappearance was tearing me apart. I had my men storm the inn and search every room, lobby, and basement.If my kitten was still in this building, I wanted to make sure that she was found, and I was going to find the bastards that took her.I stood outside waiting, flexing my fingers in anger as I heard the new ruckus that came from the inn.Pierre was standing by my side, making calls. I had asked him to call every associate in Elvis Pine to see if they had seen Olivia, but so far, he had been unsuccessful.Call after call was the same response and I was slowly losing my patience.Then, the ruckus soon died down, and my men came out of the building.“We searched everywhere, Sir, and we couldn’t find anything. We couldn’t find that lady that matched the description that you gave, either.” I slammed my fist on the hood of my car and made a dent in it.“Damn it!” The men backed away from me in fear, and I couldn’t blame th
Olivia’s POV “Olivia, wake up! Wake up! Wake up!” I jerked awake and fell to the cold stone floor. What was happening? Where was I? My hands and legs were still bound with rope, and I still had the sack over my head. I could tell that we weren’t in the car anymore. It was more spacious, and I could move my legs around, and the air felt damp and clammy. My body slowly began to regain consciousness, and soon, I groaned in pain. Why did the back of my head hurt so much? I tried to slip my hands out of the rope to rub the throbbing area, but the knots were too tight.Slowly, I began to panic. I had no idea where I was or what the people that captured me wanted to do with me.“Hello? Is anyone here?’My voice, though my sack and gag, bounced off the walls, and there was no reply. I was alone in this cold and damp place.I lay on the floor, downcast, cold and broken. How did I get myself into this mess? What did these people want from me? I lay still with my eyes closed and silent te
Andre’s POVWe zoomed to Jonas’ house and stormed inside.The servants were in shock, but they made sure to stay out of our way. We began looking around for him, but after a while, he was nowhere to be found.My men grabbed a maid, and she screamed in fright.“Where is Jonas?” “He… he’s in his study. It’s on the first floor to the right.” My guards left her, and we stormed to his study. When we got to the door, I asked my men to pull back.I grabbed the door handle–that bastard locked the door!I asked them to stand back and forced the door open. I broke the lock, and metal pieces clinked as they fell to the ground.“What the hell is this? My door!”Jonas stood up in alarm and stared at me and his broken door in shock.“André, what is your prob…” “Where is Olivia?” I glared ferociously at him but he looked at me confused and took a step backwards.“Where is Olivia?” He asked back in surprise. “What do you mean ‘where is Olivia?’ Where is she? He looked confused and shaken and s
Olivia’s POVI lay on the ground, and silent tears were rolling down my face. I sneezed a little; it seemed like I had caught a cold.All I could think about was that man who had tried to force that herbal drink down my throat. They wanted to take away my child. They wanted to kill my baby.The more I thought about it, the more hot tears streamed down my face.I was filled with worry. When they had forced the liquid into my mouth, I wasn’t sure if I had swallowed some. It kept me on edge. What if my baby was already being harmed inside of me?I wriggled in frustration. I wanted to get out of these ropes. I wanted to escape and find André. I never knew being away from him could be so scary. It finally dawned on me the way he felt when I ran away. I only hoped that he was okay and that he could find me soon.In the silence, I heard heavy feet walking down the dark corridor. I braced myself; I could tell that the men were back.My heart went into my chest. What were they going to do to m
André’s POVMy eyes were locked on the screen as the footage played in front of me, and I could barely breathe.My heart jumped in my throat, and I went pale in horror. What was this?The video played and I was worried to see Olivia tied up. I squeezed the phone harder, threatening to crush it under my grip. What were they doing to her?I watched as they gripped her hair tightly and tossed her around. They touched her and stroked her cheeks. One of them placed his lips close to her ear and said something that made her flinch.“Those bastards!” My hands shook in horror and anger. Who could have done this? Who could have had the audacity to send me this video? I heard footsteps behind me and felt a hand on my shoulder.“Alpha is everything… Oh my God!”Pierre shrieked. His eyes were transfixed on my phone as he watched in shock the cruel treatment of the pack’s Luna. His face was bright red, and he began to heave angrily.“We will get whoever did this. We will make them pay.”I ignore
Jonas POVI slipped back into my office and closed the door behind me.Finally, that bastard had left. I couldn’t let him compromise my plans.I waited for his footsteps to fade before I grabbed my phone at my desk and began to dial some numbers.Those fools had better not have messed this up.In a few minutes, my phone screen had four faces looking at me. Three of which were my men.“Good afternoon, Boss…” “Screw your greetings!” I snapped angrily. “What’s the situation there? Is she still captive?” “Yes, Sir. She is still tightly tied, and we have one of our men watching her.” My face contorted in anger.“Excuse me? You said how many?”My eyes struck fear into the heart of the man I was talking to but radiated through the call. I could see the unease on everyone’s faces as they looked away from the screen and left the man to his fate.“J…just one, Sir. She is just a little girl. She can’t possibly do…” “You fool!” I slammed my fist on the table, and though it was a virtual meet
Olivia’s POVThe tears streamed down my face.No! No! No!It couldn’t be! What was he doing?! Why hadn’t he sent her out yet?!I held my breath and watched. My body was in agony, and the ropes felt even tighter.My heart was leaning on the edge of a canyon. A little tip and it would fall.Lilian walked up to him, and he stood up and received her with open arms. I felt a chunk of my heart break off as I saw how tightly he wrapped her to his body. The satisfaction on her face had no comparison. She nuzzled closer to him, and he stroked her hair.He spoke to her, but I didn’t understand what they were saying. Did I really want to hear this? It was hurtful enough as it was.He tilted her head upwards, and his eyes stared at her with so much affection, like one would look at a lost lover, the way André used to look at me.The tears multiplied. Did André really love me? I saw the way Lilian had been looking at him before. He always seemed so stoic and calm about it. He never showed any inte
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
