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
Olivia’s POV There was silence in the dungeon. I was heaving hard, and sweat was dripping down my forehead.The men looked at me in astonishment and like the brittle glass, the silence broke and they erupted into thunderous laughter.My grimness didn’t change and I looked at them in hate and disdain. They continued to cackle and roar. One of them leaned on his friend for support, and the third guy was wiping tears from his eyes.“Are you being serious? Did you hear her? Stoop!” One of them mocked while the rest burst into another round of laughter.“What is the matter, Olivia? Can’t take a little betrayal? Come on, everyone has that backstabber in their lives. You should even be grateful that we had the heart to show you what sort of scum that man that you call your mate is.” My breathing became faster and deeper, but they paid me no attention and continued to mock me.“Awwwwnn! You made the little Luna angry. Maybe you should apologise to her.”“Ha! She doesn’t want an apology. M
André’s POV“Olivia…” I whispered her name, and it tasted like sweet honey on my lips. Her scent filled my lungs. Her beautiful body was on the bed right in front of me in a black lingerie.Her dark hair fell to her shoulders. And she enticed me sexily to come on to her.I had missed her so much. I couldn’t help myself. I had missed her so much.I grabbed her underwear and ripped them off, tossing them on the bed table.I inhaled her scent. I found…Wait!I stopped. Olivia? Where was Olivia? Wasn’t she missing? Have I found her? When did I find her?It was like a veil was being slowly pulled from my eyes. The room had been blurry but began to clear up. I grabbed my head in pain. Fuck! Was this a hangover? Had I been drinking?“André? Are you alright?”“Yes. I’m fine Olivia…”No. I shook my head and tried to get my eyes to focus on the figure in front of me. It couldn’t be Olivia. She…she didn’t sound like that.“André? What’s wrong?” I felt a soft touch on my arm, and I instinctiv
Olivia’s POVI stopped dead in my tracks, and twelve pairs of eyes stared at me with malicious intent. My stomach churned, and the faces smiled wickedly.“Well, well, well, what do we have here?…” Jonas’s father, Donovan, got up from his seat and walked slowly towards me. My heart nearly stopped beating. The glee on his face seemed to come straight out of a horror movie.“…Olivia darling, what brings you here?”I gulped and took a step back. I looked around the room and saw Jonas’s brothers staring at me with seductive smiles on their faces, their bodies itching to pounce on me.“What are you all doing here?” I said fearfully, accessing the danger level in the room. I had just escaped from my dungeon and the door I took led here: Jonas’s family’s meeting room. Were they in on all this? Did they know that I had been kidnapped? “I want to see André. Where is he?” I tried to speak confidently, but my voice wavered, giving me away. Donovan’s grin turned to a slight frown, and he cocke
André’s POV“I’m so sorry to interrupt your brooding, but the men and I are ready to leave, and we are awaiting your final orders.”“Good,” I said, nodding my head slowly. “The men will have to wait a little longer. I am still waiting for a call and additional reinforcements.”Pierre took a step forward and gave a sigh. “Also, we found an update concerning Olivia’s father. Would you like to look at it?”I whipped my head around and glared daggers at Pierre.“I am not concerned about Olivia’s father at this point. Nothing right now matters more to me than my woman’s life. The update can wait; Olivia can’t.”My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I took it out immediately and saw the name scrawled across the screen. Finally, he called back. It was about time. Relief washed over me, and I answered the call.“Hello?”“Alpha André, my men are ready. When do we move out? I’m a little agitated if I do say so myself.”I raised an eyebrow.“You’re coming with them? I thought…”The man laughed.“No
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
