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
Olivia’s POV Javier tried to grab me but I was able to pull away. Jaden grabbed me and pinned my arms to the side. I struggled to get out of his grasp.“Stay still, you little insect!” I swung my head backwards and butted Jaden. He reeled backwards and let go of me.I watched him, and blood dripped from his nose like a little tap.“Fuck! The bitch broke my nose!” “Stop this nonsense, Olivia! We are trying to help you!” “I don’t want your help! Stay away from me!”With Jaden temporarily disabled, Javier sprung back into action. He grabbed me by the throat, wrestled me to the ground, and pinned me there.I was weak, and even though I tried to kick him, he barely flinched and tightened his grip around my throat.Donovan stood up in alarm and stood close to where his son pinned me.“Javier! Be gentle with her! We need her alive!”He grunted and squeezed my throat harder.“Alive doesn’t mean we need her conscious!”I began to cough as my lungs were deprived of oxygen.My limbs became e
André’s POVWe left the room and went outside. It didn’t take long for the reinforcements to arrive. They got out of the vehicle and walked up to me.The leader stepped out from amongst the ranks and gave a low bow.“Alpha André, we have been sent from Black Paw Pack on behalf of our Alpha.”I acknowledged his greeting and gave a nod. “I trust that your Alpha is doing well?”“Yes, Sir!”I was pleased by the men’s gallantry and began to arrange them into small groups alongside my guards.“Team A, I would need you to monitor the perimeter here. I expect that he is going to send men after us or come by himself. I need you to make sure that you delay him as long as possible. Team B, you guard the entrance of the secret passage and Team C, you follow me inside to get the Luna. Are we clear on that front?”There was a resounding ‘yes sir’, and all the guards moved to their stations.Sephora and Pierre ran up to me.“What about us, Alpha?”I looked them over. It seemed that they had gotten
André POVI grabbed Olivia and pulled her close to me. The metallic smell of blood came from her mouth. I was worried. What was going on? What had happened?I heard yelling and dashed back into the house. The sound came again, and I was able to pin the noise to this location.I kicked the door down and saw my beloved on the ground, crawling to the door like a dying caterpillar.“Olivia?” I cradled her close. Her body was getting colder by the second. I looked at her dress and saw a spreading patch of blood.My heart pounded loudly in my chest.Our baby! Something had happened to it.I hoisted her up and didn’t even take a moment to consider the twelve unconscious bodies in the room.I gritted my teeth together. Jonas’ father and brothers were. Whatever that had happened to those bastards, they deserved it.I knew that Jonas couldn’t be trusted. That deceptive bastard.I carried Olivia out and gave an order for all my men to pull back. I dashed to my car and placed Olivia carefully i
