Olivia’s POVMy eyes flung open, and bright light bleached my irises.I looked around hastily for a while, but all I could see were colourful circles of lights blocking my vision.Slowly, my sight was restored to me, and I realised that I was lying in a bed.“Olivia?”I turned my head around and locked eyes with André.“André?”My heart began to beat rapidly, and my face scrunched up slowly as tears began to form in my eyes.It didn’t take long before I burst into tears and began to wail loudly.“My baby! André, where’s my baby?We leaned over me and pulled me into a hug, rubbing my back affectionately and cooing softly in my ear to try to comfort me.“Olivia, you have to calm down. Everything is alright. Our baby is fine.”Though he had assured me that everything was alright, it still took a while for me to calm down. I was still so scared and terribly shaken. The events of my capture flooded my mind every second and filled me with dread and fear.“They tried to harm me, André. They
Olivia’s POVI was in bed, and Nurse Alvida came to call on me.As she walked into my room, she had a fearful expression on her face.André was sitting on the bed next to me, and he glared suspiciously at her.“What is that face for? Is there a problem?”She shook her head slowly. I could see her eyes becoming moist. I continued to press on.“You said you knew about my mother. Tell me about her. We are in a private space. No one can hear us for miles, and it is heavily guarded." Alvida dabbed her face lightly with her embroidered handkerchief. She took a deep breath and raised her head. Tears glistened in her eyes as she began her story.“I was the right handmaid to your mother, Maria Solvan, many years ago and for many years. She was a descendant of Selene, just like you. The same was true of all her sisters and the women before her."My jaw was slack as I stared at the old nurse. She knew my mother?! My real mother? No. She has to be lying. She had to be. She had to be a spy from.
André’s POV I looked at Olivia with sad eyes. She pushed me away gently and rolled the other way, and I watched her body shake gently as she sobbed softly.My heart shattered. I didn't want to leave her like this. I reached out a hand to touch her, but she shrugged it away.I sighed. I had my answer. I left the room and shut the door gently behind me. In the hallway, I gave a soft sigh. There was nothing I could do now. I had the let her heal by herself."Alpha? We are still waiting for you." Pierre poked his head out from a door that was two rooms away from Olivia. I nodded and walked towards him. I had to do my duty. It was the only way that I could help Olivia. That bastard had to be crushed.I walked into the room, and grim faces glanced at me as I assumed my position in the middle of the room, at the head of the table. Sephora stood to my right, pale, and Pierre stood protectively next to her. I had never seen him so grim, either.To my left was Gregory, one of the associates
Olivia's POV I was up early in bed. My body was still aching but I was much better than I was a few days ago. My nights didn't get any better though. Since Alvida told me about my parents and Jonas' hand in their death, my nightmares were plagued with his face and blood everywhere.I would see my mother in a pool of blood and Jonas standing over her. The look of pride and satisfaction in his eyes was terrifying, and when he tried to clamour for me, I would scream and wake up.I couldn't count the number of times André had come to the rescue with hugs and soft words. He would ask me what had happened, and I would simply tell him that it was a nightmare.They scared me and continually fed my hate for Jonas. I would make him pay.I got out of bed and walked to the window. I threw the curtains open, and the sunlight seeped in and warmed my skin.Glorious.The door creaked open, and Alvida came in with the breakfast tray. Sephora, André, and Pierre followed. I was slightly startled to see
1Olivia's POV The moon was beautiful. The bright white ball hung low and cast its mystical glow on the ground below. It was so low that I almost felt that I could reach out and just touch it if I tried.I exhaled. I was supposed to go training this evening with Sephora. I was nervous. I had never done this before. I closed my eyes and felt my skin being bathed by the glow. In the silence of my mind, I could hear Nima howling, calling out for freedom. There she was. So she was listening when I called her name earlier. She just chose to ignore me. I frowned slightly.The door opened softly behind me, and I opened my eyes.“Olivia, it's time. Are you ready?" I turned around to see Sephora standing at the door in a shirt and shorts. She looked so casual, and she had a big smile on her face.I peered closer. A red mark on her neck? What had happened to her?“I'm ready." I slipped my shoes on and followed her out of the room. The moon's light cast eerie shadows in the hallway. If I di
Olivia's POV I was up a bit late the next morning. Alvida had made me train late into the evening for hours at a time. I had improved, but I burned out easily. Breakfast was ready by the time I had dragged myself from the bathroom and downstairs. Sephora was helping set the table. I looked at her neck again. She had a new mark on her neck. The last one had faded. I looked at her suspiciously. “Oh, sorry." Pierre bumped into her as he brought the steaming plate of bacon. He also had a matching one on his neck.My eyes were wide. The two of them…“Woah!" I was pulled in close and André stealthily stole a kiss from me. I was flushed as he pulled away. Alvida gave a small smile and went back into the kitchen.“Good morning, beautiful." He didn't even let me answer and kissed me again. He pulled me in deeper. The passion gushing from him was overwhelming. I could feel the way his hands circled me. He was fighting hard, keeping himself from ripping off my clothes and taking me right
Jonas’ POVWe left the dining room and walked back to my father's meeting room.Lily tried to support me as I walked, but I beat her off.“Don't you dare touch me!”We went to the meeting room, and I sat down on a sofa, grabbed the box of tissues on the table, and began dabbing the blood that flowed from my nose and lips.We were all silent for a while, and all we could do was cast stares at each other.The silence irritated me, and I grabbed another tissue from the box.“So? Isn't anyone going to say anything? We can't let Olivia leave this place with that bastard! She's mine. You all were there when her parents promised her to me. I must make sure that that promise is kept and fulfilled. Imagine the heiress of Solvan with our family. With her power, we can conquer the other packs, reunite them, and build the Empire of Solvan again. Our family would breed the new generation of the Descendants of Selene. It would be the greatest honour our family has ever received. My father and brot
André's POVAfter seeing what Olivia could do, Sephora and Gregory joined my team, leaving Pierre and Doran with no choice.For one, I was certain that they wouldn’t be expecting us yet. This was our best advantage.“You must stay by my side at all times,” I reminded Olivia as we alighted from the car.Her recovery was complete, and I knew she wasn’t helpless, but I couldn’t help but worry.She was my little princess, after all.“Alpha, the five teams have surrounded the entire place,” Gregory reported with a low bow.I nodded and then glanced at my watch.“I’m sure the camouflage members would have gotten to the underground by now; let’s head out, too.”I wrapped my arms around Olivia as the team of twelve behind us followed us while I led the way.The doors were kicked open, and a smug smile crossed my lips as I saw that most of the Reiss family were present in the room. Jonas stood up, his chair scraping loudly against the floor and took a step forward. “I've had enough of your
